Chapter 305 The True Intentions of the Demon Clan

"What Bagua formation?"

The elder turned around, puzzled, and asked.

Lin Chen squatted down and began drawing dots, directly marking the missing parts. When the Grand Elder looked over, he indeed saw a complete Bagua formation.

The two were startled, because they had been to Bagua City before and had seen its layout.

But why is Liucheng arranged in this way?

“How can you count it just because you drew it?” one of the elders said. “Perhaps the truth is not like that.”

The Grand Elder shook his head and agreed, saying, "The demon race has long been planning to take over Mount Ling. They must know that there is a dragon vein on Mount Ling. Their goal may not be to occupy Mount Ling at all, but to use the power of the dragon vein."

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly dilated.

Could it be that the Nine Nether Serpent's goal is the same as Zhong Nan's—to use the dragon vein to create an impenetrable fortress for the Cangling Ancient Kingdom?
If that's the case, then the Nine-Headed Serpent's purpose is terrifying.

But how did the Nine-Headed Serpent learn about the Eight Trigrams Formation?

Could it be that it also possesses the ability to transform into a dragon?
"and many more!"

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and said to the Grand Elder:
"The Nine-Nether Serpent could not possibly possess the Dragon Transformation Technique. If the Nine-Nether Serpent knew the Dragon Transformation Technique, Zhong Nan would have lost the battle at Heavenly Mountain long ago."

"That is to say."

The Grand Elder quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "The demon race will inevitably attack Tiandu!!"

"Now it seems that this possibility is extremely high."

Lin Chen seemed to understand now why the Tian Shu Pavilion was so determined to defend Tian Du and was unwilling to send troops out.

Could it be that the Tian Shu Pavilion had received some advance notice?
Learning the truth about Liucheng shocked Lin Chen. The demon race's war was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a long-planned scheme.

But Lin Chen never expected that the Nine Nether Serpent had such great ambitions.

Upon his return, the Grand Elder had already written a secret letter, intending to send it to the Heavenly Capital.

The Grand Elder also repeatedly instructed the messenger to send the secret letter in two parts: one to Tian Shu Pavilion and the other to the National Preceptor Academy.

After the letter was sent, the Grand Elder was also extremely troubled.

In this chaotic world, I don't know how to solve it.

At this moment, Lin Chen spoke up, saying, "The Bagua City might be the solution."

The Grand Elder wasn't surprised; he simply sighed and said:
"The power of Bagua City is no secret among the higher-ups. However, Bagua City is like a Pandora's box. Once opened, desires may be unleashed, and the balance of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom may be completely broken."

Lin Chen nodded.

indeed.

The Bagua City is designed to represent a powerful force, which can also be understood as:
A movement to create a god.

Once a person reaches the pinnacle of divinity, perhaps the box of desires will be opened and can never be closed again.

"Do you think Gu Ning is trustworthy?" the elder asked Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had fought against Gu Ning before and knew him to some extent. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Gu Ning is not without talent. It's just that he was born into the direct line and was manipulated as a pawn. Once he rises to power and has strength beyond that of ordinary people, his long-suppressed ambition may swell up."

"Yes."

The Grand Elder said, "That's what I think too. I think those people in Tiandu probably think the same way."

Tento
The reason why Tian Shu Pavilion remained steadfast and did not venture out was not only due to concerns about the demon race attacking Tian Du, but also for another reason.

Twenty days after the demon race launched its attack on the south, the spies of the Tian Shu Pavilion discovered that the layout of the demon race's forbidden zone was exactly the same as that of the Bagua City.

This shocked the top brass of Tiandu. It's important to understand that the reason Zhong Nan was ostracized by the major powers in Tiandu was because of the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan he proposed.

If the Dragon Transformation Technique is simply a matter of utilizing the power of the dragon vein, that's perfectly acceptable, because this power can be defeated.

But once the deification movement of Bagua Jiucheng succeeds, he can make anyone live or die at will.

Therefore, after Gu Ning took the throne, the Tian Shu Pavilion and the United Nations Teachers' Academy had already shut down the plan, the Bagua City had been sealed off, and the Tian Shu Pavilion also had a plan to destroy it.

However, when they learned that the demon race had also established its own Bagua City, the Tian Shu Pavilion could not remain indifferent.

They understood that this time, the Nine Nether Serpents did not merely want territory, but rather to completely control the Cangling Ancient Kingdom and annihilate the human race.

Therefore, at this moment, Gu Ning was sitting in the main hall of the National Academy, and standing below him was one of the nine disciples that Zhong Nan had previously taken in, named Lai Yonghui.

Lai Yonghui cupped his hands and looked at Gu Ning, saying, "Grand Preceptor, restarting the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan is the best solution right now, so why don't you propose it?"

“If I were to propose this, it would be impossible for the plan to be approved,” Gu Ning said. “The Gu family doesn’t trust me, and neither does the Tian Shu Pavilion.”

After saying that, Gu Ning looked at Lai Yonghui and asked, "Do you believe me?"

Lai Yonghui was taken aback, then shook his head and said:

"Do not believe."

“That’s it.” Gu Ning didn’t mind Lai Yonghui saying that, and continued, “So, this is a dead end.”

"So how do we break this deadlock?"

"rest assured."

Gu Ning looked at the sky outside and said, "The sky in this capital city won't always be blue."

In the following days, Lin Chen began a leisurely life of rest and recuperation. He was no longer troubled by the chaos of the world, because he was about to do something big: establish a second contract with Xiao Bai.

But just as the Tree Ancestor said, he only has three chances, so he must gain the approval of this divine and demonic power within those three chances.

If he cannot gain the approval of the divine and demonic power, then even if he establishes a contract with Xiaobai, he will not be able to use the divine and demonic power within him.

After resting for three full days, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai were full of energy, so they asked Liu Gu to come and help with the guarding.

Then, Lin Chen and Xiao Bai sat facing each other, and Liu Gu said, "You must calm your mind."

Lin Chen nodded, trying to dispel the consequences of failure and calm his mind.

Liu Gu wasn't worried about Lin Chen; he was always easygoing. It was Xiao Bai, on the other hand, who was like a bull and easily got stuck on trivial matters.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Gu looked over, he found that Xiao Bai had gotten into the zone earlier than Lin Chen.

Liu Gu was stunned and quite surprised.

But it's actually easy to understand. Xiaobai has enough trust in Lin Chen, and it feels at ease as long as Lin Chen is around.

Lin Chen is equivalent to its heaven.

After seeing that the two had calmed down, Liu Gu signaled Xiao Hong and the others to quietly leave the area and watch from a distance.

Just then, Lin Chen began to silently recite the mental cultivation technique, and at the same time, a blue light emanated from his entire body.

At this moment, Lin Chen was surrounded by blue divine runes, inscribed with countless characters. In the end, all these characters condensed onto his palm, becoming a black mark.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, looked at the mark on his palm, and slowly pushed it out, pressing it onto Xiao Bai's bull head.

In an instant, a large amount of Lin Chen's spiritual power was absorbed.

Almost instantly, his soul seemed to have traveled to another dimension.
