Chapter 278: Thousand Sieve Earth Treasury (1/2)
The current Thousand Sieve City was like a leaking balloon. Its size was constantly shrinking and its shell was becoming thicker and thicker.
The wreckage of the buildings that were pushed inward surged like an ocean wave.
Apart from them and more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, all the other Iron Wolf Sect cultivators, including the five thousand wolf cavalry, had been wrapped in debris and crushed into pieces of flesh.
That was an elite force that even the Iron Wolf Sect could not easily train. Losing a thousand was enough to make people feel the pinch. Now, five thousand Iron Wolf Cavalry and a large number of Core Formation cultivators had all died here.
To the Iron Wolf Sect, it would be uncomfortable for a long time to lack such a force.
However, the seven Soul Formation elders of the Iron Wolf Sect did not have the mood to consider the future for the time being.
They flew around the entire internal space and were finally forced back to their original location by the rolling trash.
They placed their last hope on Old Ban.
As fellow Soul Formation cultivators, they did not believe that there was someone who was willing to not leave a way out for themselves to cover for others.
”Damn old man, tell me where it is! Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!”
Surrounded by seven Soul Formation cultivators with killing intent, Old Ban was still smiling happily.
”For this old man to die in Thousand Sieve City and have the few of you accompany me, I'm really fortunate!”
As he spoke, he took out a key and stabbed it into his heart.
The last hidden mechanism in his body circulated crazily, squeezing out his life and stimulating more spiritual qi. He brought the remaining puppets to continue fighting with them.
Finally, under the continuous compression of space, their activity space completely disappeared.
In the end, Old Ban laughed and swelled up with all the puppets, launching the final self-destruction!
Without any buffer time, the damage caused by the self-destruction of a puppet of the same level or even a cultivator of the same level was completely fatal.
...
On Jiang Li's side, the remaining cultivators of Ink Sect had already gathered in the core secret room under his guidance.
Although they had mechanisms and traps to rely on, they had also suffered heavy losses. There were only slightly more than a hundred people left.
In terms of numbers, it was even more miserable than the village Jiang Li had seen in the illusion world.
”Is everyone here? There's no time to lose. I used the Ink Child Decree to activate the Thousand Sieve City's last resort. Now, we can only leave through this secret room. If we delay, we won't be able to leave.”
Jiang Li sensed the situation in Thousand Sieve City and urged them to count the number of people.
”Granny Zi, Grandpa Ban has yet to come out!”
Zi Yao stood at the entrance of the core secret room, unwilling to leave no matter what.
”Zi Yao, come back. Old Ban has already made up his mind. Let's go!”
The Ink Child Decree was actually a token of authority produced by the Thousand Mechanisms Sphere. It could control the entire Thousand Sieve City.
However, after today, this token would probably only have a symbolic meaning.
Jiang Li reached into the Thousand Mechanisms Sphere and took out a token.
However, the others could not see the spiritual ball. They only thought that Jiang Li waved his hand in the air and took out the token.
He injected spiritual qi into it.
The core chamber, which was made of thousands of rectangular blocks like a Rubik's Cube, was completely sealed. Then, it moved horizontally and directly collided with the surrounding wall.
Wherever the secret room passed, all kinds of walls automatically unfolded, forming a passageway that could be passed through by the Rubik's Cube.
After the secret room left, the walls quickly closed again, cutting off the possibility of others escaping.
The matrix room passed through layers of obstructions and finally rushed out of Thousand Sieve City.
Looking back, the entire Thousand Sieve City had already turned into a huge mechanical ball that was still moving and shrinking inward.
A small number of Iron Wolf Sect cultivators outside were still attacking the large mechanical ball crazily.
However, there were too few cultivators in the outside world, and the intensity of the attacks was far from enough. Even if dozens of flying ships continuously attacked, it was still useless against the Thousand Sieve City's huge ball that had entered the Thousand Sieve Earth Treasury state.
When Thousand Sieve City shrunk to its limit, the interior had already become solid, firmly suppressing the remaining Soul Formation cultivators on the spot.
Swoosh!
At this moment, the surface of the Thousand Sieve Earth Treasury Ball suddenly shook. A huge force erupted from within.
When she saw this, Granny Zi could not help but lower her head in dejection. Zi Yao and the others also shed tears.
In the mechanical ball, Elder Ban and all his puppets self-destructed at the same time, giving seven Soul Formation cultivators a fatal blow in the sealed space.
Under the circumstances of being sealed by the Thousand Sieve Earth Treasury and suffering such a blow, even the ability to wait for the sect's rescue was lost.
The entire ball began to spin and finally sank into the ground.
A bottomless hole was left behind.
Then, the array formation buried around the city was activated. The ground around the huge hole began to collapse continuously. A large amount of soil and rocks tilted down, completely burying the huge hole.
Thousand Sieve City brought a large number of people from the Iron Wolf Sect and buried themselves underground.
This city itself was the largest and most dangerous trap.
Not only did the Iron Wolf Sect fail to gain anything, they instead suffered heavy losses. This outcome made the cultivation world of the Eastern Region greatly surprised.
Everyone felt that Ink Sect was fish on the chopping board. They were completely defenseless against the invaders.
No one expected them to play such a trick. They directly cut off one of the Iron Wolf Sect's claws.
As for the cultivators of Ink Sect, who everyone thought had been completely killed, they silently squeezed into the matrix room and flew west under the cover of the illusion.
”Granny Zi, I've obtained the Ink Child Decree. Previously, you said that the disciples of the Mo family should obey the Ink Child Decree in hand. Do these words still count?”
Jiang Li's words were a little inappropriate.
The other party had just encountered such a calamity that was close to extermination.
It was a little inappropriate to rush the other party to listen to his orders.
However, Ink Sect was in no position to be angry. If not for Jiang Li, they would have died in their own city.
Even if they did not die, they would become prisoners. In the future, their life and death would be decided by the enemies. That kind of life was simply worse than death.
”Alliance Leader Jiang, don't worry. You saved us, and Ink Sect owes you a huge favor. You even obtained the Ink Child Decree. Even if you want to become the Ink Sect Master, there's no problem.”
”This is our merit token. It represents the merit of 630,000 from killing the Armored Trolls. Please keep it!”
Granny Zi knew very clearly what Jiang Li wanted. It was none other than those merit points.
At this point, she might as well directly take out the merit token coveted by a large number of Eastern Region sects.
After all, for a long time to come, their Ink Sect's fate would be tied to Jiang Li's words.
