Chapter 212 Escalating Further [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

No one left alive.

Neither Chu Xuan nor Fang Ge believed that the other party was truly seeking death.

There's no need for that. If they just obediently resist, the Central Continent Team will naturally kill them all. There's no need to send this special message.

Death was just one part of the clone Chu Xuan's scheme.

"This guy, could he be trying to make the clone Zheng Zha lose his 'innocence'? That's really a twisted sense of humor," Fang Ge speculated, concluding one possibility.

"There is actually quite a lot of information conveyed here."

Chu Xuan tried to analyze the intentions of his other self: "First of all, since they told us not to hold back, it means that they definitely haven't used up their resurrection chances. They may even have some means to avoid being wiped out."

"Secondly, leaving no survivors doesn't just refer to the Demon Team, it should also include the Celestial Team... They should try to hold off the Celestial Team."

"This team battle not only clearly showed the gap in strength between us and the Zhongzhou team, but also eliminated the unstable factors within the team, cleared the evaluation, and incidentally did us a favor."

Chu Xuan added, "If the clone Zheng Zha is still alive, he should be stronger than ours... The possibility of helping the clone Zheng Zha overcome his inner demons also objectively exists."

"Why? I don't accept this!"

Zheng Zha couldn't help but retort, "I've already tried my best, okay! I've even gotten a little bit of a feel for the [Primordial World]!"

Fang Ge said with certainty, "Because of the different environments and external pressures we face. If you're not strong enough, I'll protect you. If he's not strong enough, he's doomed."

Actually, the most important thing is that without Fang Ge's strategy, Chu Xuan's "50%" theory would definitely have made the clone Zheng Zha suffer.

Just like now... they're actually encouraging the Central Continent Team to completely destroy the Demon Team...

"..." Zheng Zha was speechless, but felt that what the captain said made some sense.

—As long as one overcomes their inner demons and reaches the intermediate level of the fourth tier, they can avoid being annihilated… After dying once, there is a certain possibility that [Chu Xuan] will be able to read through the script.

Fang Ge flew faster and faster, getting closer and closer to Mount Shu.

He had some guesses about the inner demons of the clone Zheng Zha, but there was no concrete evidence yet.

If the clone of Chu Xuan had such thoughts... there would be other ways to operate, but the process would be slightly more complicated.

Given the current strength of the Central Continent Team, they can certainly plan for more in the Reincarnation World, rather than just being limited to "winning the final battle".

It's perfectly acceptable to gain a basic understanding and explore the main god's space.

Since the clone Chu Xuan wants to use the Central Continent Team as a whetstone, then the Central Continent Team might as well go even further.

After all, reviving one person would require consuming one B-level side quest, which is too extravagant. Fang Ge has more economical methods.

For a pro like Fang Ge, taking down an auxiliary squad is not a difficult task.

What's more, it's a demon team that inherently possesses this kind of advantage.

—Next, we'll drive the demon team to their doom! Let them see just how cruel the cycle of reincarnation really is!
……

For Jiang Ming, he was trapped on that day a hundred years ago, and only the understanding of his fellow disciples could help him break free.

The medium through which the Sword Saint Yin Ruozhuo communicated with him... Poor Li Xiaoyao, he had already been killed by Zhao Zhuikong.

The Demon Team clearly lacked the persuasive skills to convince Jiang Ming.

Then we can only wait for the Demon-Sealing Tower to collapse before taking further action.

Another great battle ensued, but it failed to truly kill Jiang Ming... Under the desperate cover of the clones Zheng Zha and others, the clone Chu Xuan was able to cross this area and reach the top of the Demon Locking Tower.

That is, the place where Zhao Ling'er is.

Although Zhao Ling'er, bound by chains, was physically very weak, she quickly became wary upon encountering a strange man.

"I am the person Li Xiaoyao sent to rescue you," Chu Xuan said calmly.

"What about Brother Xiaoyao?" Upon hearing Li Xiaoyao's name, Zhao Ling'er's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Chu Xuan did not answer him, but said to himself, "Senior Sword Saint, this is the inevitable result of changing destiny. Now I will take her away from the Demon Locking Tower to uphold [Destiny]."

"..."

The Sword Saint clearly hadn't expected the other party to use such rhetoric.

He couldn't see the fate of these people... They clearly had identities and destinies, but their past and future were invisible and impossible to predict.

Yin Ruozhuo also sensed Bai Yue's arrival. Near Bai Yue was another group of people whose fates could not be predicted.

It's like it appeared out of nowhere; everything is a variable.

What exactly do they need to do?
The Sword Saint watched, but Chu Xuan did not try to untie the chains binding Zhao Ling'er. Instead, he held the [Heavenly Ring] and stood beside the puzzled Zhao Ling'er.

Waiting... After all, due to the intervention of the Celestial Team, whether Baiyue can cast the spell has become an unknown.

The rest of the Demon Team, under Chu Xuan's command, began to destroy the Demon Locking Tower.

Judging from its structure and design, the Demon-Sealing Tower is extremely sturdy, impervious to swords and spears, and unbreakable by magical spells.

At its lowest level are eleven enormous sword pillars, which connect to the seven dragon pillars at the bottom of the tower, suppressing the Demon-Locking Tower and providing stability.

This seven-star dragon pillar is its only weakness.

Unlike the TV series version where Bai Yue casts a spell, in the game version, Li Xiaoyao destroys the Seven Star Dragon Pillar, causing the Demon Locking Tower to collapse.

As for whether this move will offend the Sword Saint...

That doesn't matter anymore.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the extreme chaos of fate, coupled with the Sword Saint's inability to resist taking action, was the outcome Chu Xuan desired.

All he had to do was shoulder the responsibility.

Furthermore, the destruction of the Demon-Sealing Tower is also part of the original storyline.

In this chaotic state of destiny, only Chu Xuan is still upholding destiny.

Now that Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao are both in his hands, it's enough to make Yin Ruozhuo hesitate to act rashly!
Chu Xuan didn't have to wait long. After he and Zhao Ling'er stared at each other for a while, the Demon Locking Tower... began to tremble and collapse!
"Ugh……"

Yin Ruozhuo sighed, left the ancestral hall, gathered the Shu Mountain disciples, and headed towards the location of the Demon Locking Tower.

Normally, disciples of Mount Shu are not allowed to enter the Demon Locking Tower.

However, since the Demon-Sealing Tower has collapsed, this precept naturally no longer exists.

Besides slaying the escaped demons, Yin Ruozhuo also got the chance to meet Senior Brother Jiang Ming.

However, Baiyue did not give him any spare time.

The Moon Worship Cult Leader's magnetic voice echoed throughout the entire Shu Mountain sect:
"Shi Jieren, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult, has come to pay a visit to Mount Shu. He has a question that needs to be answered by the head of Mount Shu."

Neither the Celestial Team nor Baiyue really cared why the Demon-Sealing Tower collapsed. But this was indeed a golden opportunity to take advantage of their misfortune.

"Are Shu Mountain disciple Jiang Ming and fox demon Yuan... truly in love?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Ruozhuo's expression changed drastically.
