CHAPTER 1902: CHAPTER 1903: THE PLAN CHANGES

"Why aren’t you speaking? Is it because I’ve hit the mark and you don’t know how to refute it?"

Xu Nanzhi coldly asked, confirming her suspicions further.

This statement also made the other party realize that Xu Nanzhi wasn’t as steadfast as she claimed, so they continued.

"So what if it’s true? So what if it isn’t? Would your actions be any different?"

"Of course, they would be different!"

Xu Nanzhi spoke decisively, then glanced sideways at the swamp behind her and continued.

"Do you know why I am sure about this matter? When I arrived here, I discovered that this swamp formation is very peculiar. In terms of scale, it’s not something an ordinary Hollow Vacuum level can set up, but if you say it’s a cage set up by an Earth Immortal to ward off enemies, it’s unfortunate that I was previously imprisoned in such a place. The prohibition of this swamp is unique but far from reaching that level of power."

An Earth Immortal level formation can resist Earth Immortals, like the Mountain Protection Array of the Qingcheng Sect.

As long as an Earth Immortal is guarding it, even someone of Ji Yuguang’s level would likely have to sacrifice themselves to forcefully break the formation.

But as for this swamp formation, although its scale is vast and seems naturally integrated with the land, the disparity in destructive power compared to an Earth Immortal formation is significant.

"But is such a formation truly something a Hollow Vacuum level can set up?"

Yu Shuang asked in confusion. To her, even if this formation doesn’t reach the true Earth Immortal level, it could still be a regular formation set up by an Earth Immortal. Considering the degree of integration with the forces of nature, it far exceeds a single Hollow Vacuum level.

"You and I certainly can’t, but Yu Yanshu can."

Xu Nanzhi looked up at the two and said, "This is probably the real reason you brought us here, right? Both being at the Hollow Vacuum level, Yang Qianyan, can’t you break this formation, am I right?"

Seeing Xu Nanzhi already calling his name directly, Yang Qianyan finally stopped concealing his identity and sneered.

"Xu Nanzhi, hehe. I never expected there to be someone as troublesome as you around Su Chengyu."

Removing his disguise, the black-clad man’s identity was indeed the former Qianxing Saint Envoy Yang Qianyan, who fled the Capital City with Yang Chengyin.

"You’re Yang Junmo’s brother?"

Looking at Yang Qianyan, who had revealed his true identity, Bei Tang Qian Xiao was also shocked. She hadn’t expected to encounter the legendary Qianxing Saint Envoy in such a situation.

"Don’t mention that useless guy! I have never acknowledged him as one of us in the Yang Family!"

Listening to this, Xu Nanzhi chuckled, "That does sound like a good thing. So, you’re saying Yang Junmo wasn’t aware of the filthy deeds you have been doing?"

"Aware? If he had been of any use at all, would I have had to do all the dirty work myself all these years?!"

Yang Qianyan’s emotions were visibly agitated, and his words made the three distinctly uncomfortable.

Yu Shuang and Bei Tang Qian Xiao, needless to say, were friends with Yang Junmo, and even Xu Nanzhi couldn’t agree with what Yang Qianyan had said.

"The path is self-chosen, and the journey self-trodden. Yang Junmo not falling into your path of error shows he maintains more humanity than you!"

A Sword Qi flew towards Yang Qianyan at high speed, drawn by the Luo Shen’s Fable to become Luoshui. Under Xu Nanzhi’s control of the Soft Sword, it shot towards Yang Qianyan like a meandering stream of water.

Yang Qianyan frowned as he saw the incoming stream, avoiding it the first chance he got just as before.

Not entangled, Xu Nanzhi directed the water Sword Momentum towards the other silent person.

"Hey, why come after me? Can’t you just pretend I’m invisible?"

Having dodged the Sword Momentum, Yang Qianyan took up a large space; if the second black-clad person tried to evade, they would inevitably draw the Sword Momentum back towards Yang Qianyan, forcing the two to fend off the attack together.

Seeing Yu Shuang and Bei Tang Qian Xiao poised to intervene, the latter hesitated but decided to take on the attack himself.

"Thousand Jin Break!"

The ground shook with a punch; the massive punch struck Xu Nanzhi’s Sword Momentum, the water and the heavy punch fiercely contesting each other, exploding mid-air.

And in that clash, Bei Tang Qian Xiao discerned the opponent’s identity, calmly addressing the sheer toughness of the punch.

"Qian Jun Saint Envoy, Mo Ningchen?"

Boom!

The water ultimately engulfed the punch momentum, and as Mo Ningchen was sent flying, he calmly said.

"Does it matter who I am? If you have a grudge, just go after him."

Xu Nanzhi coldly stared at him, speaking calmly, "Really? I could recall it was you who colluded with the Ancient Clan to make a move against ChengYu on Mount Qilong."

"Haha. Qianyan, I told you, none of these women are easy to deal with, yet you insisted on involving me in this mess."

Yang Qianyan, determined, replied.

"If we don’t, do you think you have a way back? Once the Demonic Path people find this place, there’ll be no chance for us to get Yu Yanshu before them! Attack!"

With Yang Qianyan’s command, the two simultaneously sprang towards Xu Nanzhi.

Yu Shuang immediately reacted, moving to Xu Nanzhi’s side to help fend off the attack, as before.

However, Xu Nanzhi’s voice echoed in Yu Shuang’s mind.

"Let me and Qianxiao handle this."

Yu Shuang was momentarily stunned, and seeing Bei Tang Qian Xiao about to move, she realized Xu Nanzhi must have informed Bei Tang Qian Xiao in the same way.

"But..."

"What are you worried about? Can’t you two use the Earth Core Lotus to communicate? If it becomes overwhelming, just notify her."

Yu Shuang bit her lip hesitantly; she knew Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s personality.

Bei Tang Qian Xiao was strong-willed and would not seek help unless absolutely necessary, and by then, Yu Shuang might not be able to respond in time.

"Go on. I know I am currently a realm below you, but just holding them off, I will be careful. Although Xu Nanzhi is a bit sly, her consideration is meticulous, and this is the best way to break the impasse."

Hearing Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s voice, Yu Shuang took a deep breath and turned, disappearing into the swamp, while Xu Nanzhi’s voice echoed in her mind.

"Remember, we’re not here to break the formation, just to let Yan’er know that it’s us outside."

"Yu Clan girl, where do you think you’re going!"

Noticing Yu Shuang’s escaping figure, Qian Jun immediately tried to intercept, but the next moment Bei Tang Qian Xiao resolutely blocked Mo Ningchen’s path.

Covered in violet lightning, Bei Tang Qian Xiao stood like a Thunder God, coldly watching Mo Ningchen, saying.

"Your opponent is me."
