“Help me out!” Lonemoon had no choice but to turn around and beg for help from Shen Ying.

Without any hesitation, Shen Ying picked up Chef – who was still trying to climb up her body – and ran to Lonemoon’s side. She grabbed Bai Ze’s sword with one hand and twisted her wrist, flinging it to the ground.

Lonemoon quickly activated his immortal Qi and hit both Yi Qing and Bai Ze on the back of their necks. At the same time, he conjured passing out spells so that both of them fell down unconscious.

“Sect Master! Elder!” Shortie pointed toward the front in a panic.

The two of them turned around just in time to see a big patch of white light in front of them. Very faintly, they could see an army of figures.

That array has made its way here! That was quick!

Lonemoon quickly turned around to Hongyu. He saw Hongyu ascend the Reincarnation Stage. There were strange arrays all around him. The pearl that he used to control Bai Ze and Chef was now floating in the middle of the Reincarnation Stage, emanating a blinding white light. Inside it, there seemed to be an explosive force that was threatening to break out of the pearl.

“Everybody’s remnant souls must be in there. He’s trying to explode that spirit pearl!” Lonemoon’s face drained of all colour as he exchanged looks with Shen Ying. At the same time, the both of them rushed over to Hongyu.

Lonemoon immediately activated all the sword Qi in his body and waved his sword at Hongyu, who had been setting up an array. Hongyu sensed a great blow of sword Qi charging toward him and flicked his hand so that his God Power dissipated Lonemoon’s sword Qi at once.

“I’ve already said – you cannot stop me!” Hongyu’s expression darkened.

Lonemoon smirked and pointed in front of him. “I can’t, but she can!”

Hongyu turned around to see Shen Ying already standing on the Reincarnation Stage. She reached out for the floating spirit pearl and carried it off the stage.

“How can this be!” Hongyu exclaimed. Finally, his facial expression showed a hint of rage. “Put that spirit pearl down!” Suddenly, wind blades filled the sky, each one of them pointing toward Shen Ying.

“Shen Ying, take care of the spirit pearl!” Lonemoon shouted.

Shen Ying was just going to retaliate when she paused, turned around and retreated a couple of feet.

The wind blades flew down from the sky and landed around the Reincarnation Stage. The array immediately darkened so that even the great red array that covered the Underworld seemed to flicker.

Lonemoon’s eyes brightened as he said, “Shen Ying, the array near the Reincarnation Stage – that big red one outside – destroy it!”

Shen Ying did not hesitate. Holding the spirit pearl in one hand, she clenched her other fist and dealt a blow to the ground. There was a loud crash and the array began to crack. The cracks quickly spread around the array, causing the red light to become fainter and fainter. The cracks continued even onto the ground, breaking apart the layers of arrays. Then… the Reincarnation Stage cracked apart.

Shen Ying: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

Hongyu: “…”

“Er… Father Niu, if I said I didn’t do it on purpose, would you believe me?”

“Believe your ass!” Lonemoon suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge to strangle her. “You’re a freaking spy, aren’t you?” It was bad enough that she cracked the ground. Why did she have to break the Reincarnation Stage? She must be in the same league as Hongyu, wasn’t she?

But all was still fine – the Reincarnation Stage cracked but it had not fallen apart.

Crash…

The crashes echoed all around as the ground began to shake violently. Before Shen Ying had the chance to retract her fist, the cracks on the ground began to open up about a metre wide. The gap was headed straight toward the Reincarnation Stage.

Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

Whatever he imagined was coming true. Lonemoon turned pale. We’re done for, done for, done for…
