The curve of Su Ji's mouth grew wider and wider. He scanned all the people below the stage who were showing hostility towards him, his voice suddenly raising like a sudden clap of thunder.
"I originally just wanted to play around with you all and collect some protection fees."
"But since every single one of you is in such a rush to court death..."
He paused, the smile on his face becoming incredibly chilling.
"Then today, none of you shall leave!"
The Second Elder watched this scene, a satisfied curve hooking the corner of her lips. Everything was developing according to her envisioned script.
This could be considered as completing the mission.
Immediately after, the soul cultivator woman who had been standing quietly behind Li Fan let out an ethereal shout.
"Array, rise!"
Boom!
A sudden change occurred!
The entire Lovesick Sect plaza, along with the surrounding mountains, instantly lit up with countless brilliant rays of light!
On the ground, the paved bricks actually moved and spliced together on their own. Countless profound and complex runes emerged from deep underground, blazing with light!
Above in the sky, the originally clear heavens were instantly covered by a giant net woven from rays of light!
Above the light net, densely packed phantoms of array flags emerged.
They linked with one another, drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform into an even more massive array barrier!
Arrays within arrays, interlocking with one another!
A composite grand array, complex to the extreme, roared to life under the horrified gazes of everyone present!
Hum!
A muffled hum echoed through heaven and earth.
An aura that sealed the universe instantly enveloped the entire plaza!
"What... what is going on?!"
"A mountain-protecting grand array? No! The Lovesick Sect's mountain-protecting array isn't this strong!"
The red-haired middle-aged man from the Blood Fiend Sect had a drastic change in expression, sensing the flavor of a conspiracy.
He immediately transformed into a streak of blood light, rushing toward the direction of the mountain gate he had come from.
However, just as he dashed out a hundred feet, he crashed headfirst into an invisible barrier!
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the red-haired middle-aged man was bounced back by a tremendous rebounding force.
His late-stage Golden Core cultivation actually failed to stir even a single ripple before this grand array.
The charming smile on the face of the Second Elder of the Puppet Heaven Sacred Land had long since disappeared.
"Su Ji! Do you think you can make an enemy of my Sacred Land relying on a broken array?!"
She shouted sternly, her peak Golden Core aura erupting without reservation. Her entire person turned into a stream of light, lunging straight at Su Ji on the high platform.
Seeing this, the crowd below the stage also reacted one after another, hope reigniting in their eyes.
To catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader!
As long as they took down Su Ji, this grand array would collapse on its own!
However, Su Ji remained calmly seated.
He even had the leisure to blink at Su Jiu beside him.
"Junior Sister, look, a cornered dog will jump over a wall."
Su Jiu: "..."
Seeing that the Second Elder was about to rush onto the high platform, carrying a world-destroying might.
Behind Su Ji, that tower-like figure moved.
Li Fan, wielding a broadsword, took a step forward and blocked the Second Elder's path.
"The Sect Master has ordered."
His voice was flat, but it carried an unquestionable resolve.
"No one shall pass."
"Get lost!"
The Second Elder rebuked angrily, striking out with a palm. A palm print formed of spiritual energy, carrying the whistling sound of tearing air, blasted toward Li Fan.
Li Fan's expression did not change; he merely held the broadsword horizontally across his chest.
Clang!
A loud sound of clashing metal rang out!
That palm print, which was enough to severely injure a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, was actually forcibly blocked by him!
Both of them simultaneously retreated several steps, their faces full of disbelief.
On the high platform, Su Ji finally stood up.
He walked to the edge of the platform, looking down at the guests below who were like trapped beasts, the curve of his mouth growing wider and wider.
"Everyone, everyone, calm down."
"Now, the auction continues."
"Only this time, what is being auctioned is not my forgiveness."
"But rather..."
Su Ji paused, the smile on his face becoming incomparably cruel.
"Your lives."
As his voice fell.
Just as this desperate atmosphere was about to reach its peak.
Another sudden change occurred.
Hum!
That composite grand array which had just been activated, looking indestructible and incapable of being shaken in a short time even by a peak Golden Core cultivator, began to tremble violently without warning!
The light net covering the heavens and the earth let out an overwhelmed wail!
"What is going on?!"
Li Fan's soul cultivator Dao companion let out an exclamation. She could feel an irresistible mighty force forcibly tearing apart the grand array she had laid out from the outside!
The smile on Su Ji's face also froze for the first time.
He abruptly raised his head and looked at the sky.
He saw that the firmament shrouded by the light net had, at some unknown point, turned pitch black.
No, not pitch black.
Something above their heads was blocking out the sun!
Immediately after.
A terrifying pressure that could not be described with words slowly descended.
In the plaza, all the cultivators, whether they were still attacking the array or had already fallen into despair, involuntarily fell to their knees with thuds the moment this pressure descended.
Even the Second Elder, who was confronting Li Fan, could not be spared. Her proud body knelt heavily, smashing two deep pits into the ground.
Only Su Ji and Su Jiu on the main high platform, along with Li Fan, were still barely holding on.
Su Jiu's face was as pale as paper. Her Heavenly Palace Golden Core circulated madly, and two fox tails appeared behind her, desperately protecting herself so she wouldn't kneel on the spot.
Li Fan was trembling all over even more, the broadsword in his hand letting out bursts of wailing, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Under the absolutely horrified gazes of everyone.
A figure wearing a simple gray Daoist robe just appeared out of thin air.
He looked ordinary in appearance and ordinary in aura, someone you couldn't find if thrown into a crowd.
But just by standing there, he made this stretch of heaven and earth lose its color.
He didn't look at anyone, only casting his gaze toward the Second Elder kneeling on the ground. His voice was flat, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
"Have you embarrassed yourself enough?"
"Roll back here."
Then he turned his gaze to Su Ji.
He chuckled lightly: "Do you think my Sacred Land has no one?"
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
