Chapter 1137

"With their strength, there shouldn't be any accidents in there, right?" Han Li guessed.

At this moment, the space near the Time Tower rumbled. A large hole appeared in the space and three figures shot out. They were Jiao San, Li Qima, and Qu Lin.

The three of them looked a little embarrassed. Obviously, they were badly injured, especially Jiao San. Half of his body was covered in blood. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.

"Friend Han, it's good that you are fine … I was worried that something would happen to you when you were separated from us. Now it seems that I was worried for nothing," Jiao San said with a light sigh of relief when he saw Han Li.

Han Li nodded to Jiao San and said, "Many thanks for your concern, Fellow Daoist Jiao San. I was merely lucky enough to escape. You two should take a moment to recover. This isn't a place to stay for long."

When Li Qima and Qu Lin saw that Han Li was fine, their expressions relaxed. They sat down cross-legged and tried to stabilize their injuries as soon as possible.

… …

Golden Origin Mountain Range, Green Silk Gorge.

It was evening, and in that ancient village hidden in the verdant forest, every family was busy preparing their last meal of the day. Smoke was rising from the chimneys of the low village houses.

The village chief was sitting at a short table in front of his house with a few old fellows he was familiar with. They were sipping on crude peasant wine and waiting for the old woman to serve the side dishes to go with the wine.

"Boom!" A loud sound was heard!

The entire Green Silk Gorge shook violently. The table in front of the old village chief jumped and a lot of wine spilled out of the few chipped bowls.

"Aiyo, how long has it been? Can't they let us live?" The old village chief held the wine pot and bowls and complained.

"These Immortals are so arrogant. Why do they have to torment us? What the hell are they doing?" A dark-skinned old man sitting opposite him couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle, I heard that a treasure appeared in Qingsi Gorge. Many immortals came here before, but many of them disappeared. The remaining people sealed that place. Now, no one can go there," a middle-aged man who was slightly younger said. "Uncle, I heard that a treasure appeared in Qingsi Gorge.

"Who cares what they are doing, as long as they don't ruin our spring water." The old village chief said worriedly.

Just as they were talking, another loud "rumble" was heard.

How could they know that this brief moment of peace was already their last moment?

…

Within Whitehead Valley, rumbling sounds could be heard from time to time, and the earth was shaking more and more frequently.

In the depths of the valley, two huge boulders in the shape of a "V" were surrounded by cultivators dressed in the uniform of the Heavenly Sword Sect. At this moment, all of them had nervous expressions. Their eyes were fixed on the space below the two boulders, and they did not dare to relax.

Right at this moment, a layer of silver ripples suddenly appeared in that space, and five or six figures emerged from it.

When the people in the surroundings saw the faces of these people, their expressions immediately relaxed. One by one, they cupped their fists and bowed.

"Welcome back, ancestor …"

The people who appeared in the silver light were none other than Lei Yuce and the others.

Dao Yin Spiritual Master's face was still a little pale, and his face was full of anxiety. In addition, Lei Yuce and the others did not look too good. The people waiting here immediately knew that something was wrong.

Dao Yin Spiritual Master looked around and asked, "Chen Chuan, how is the matter that I gave you?"

A slender man with a long black beard stepped out from the crowd, cupped his fists, and said, "Reporting to Master, according to your instructions, it has been set up more than half a month ago. Your disciple has checked it twice, and it is absolutely safe."

Dao Yin Spiritual Master frowned and said, "Give me the Dragon Tooth Key, and you can leave."

Chen Chuan frowned slightly. He wanted to ask, but did not dare to disobey his master's orders. He could only flip his palm and take out a blood-colored jade pendant in the shape of a half-moon. He held it with both hands and handed it to Dao Yin Spiritual Master.

Lei Yuce's expression was solemn as he said, "Master, your injuries are too severe. Leave this matter to your disciple."

Chen Chuan looked at Lei Yuce, cupped his fists, and asked, "Brother Shi, are we really going to use this thing?"

Lei Yuce said in a low voice, "The Demon Slaying Plan has failed, and the Magic Lamp has not been retrieved. The Tower of Time has already been lost. If this drags on … the group of prisoners sealed inside will break into the secret realm. At that time, the entire Golden Source Immortal Domain will experience a catastrophe."

Dao Yin Spiritual Master frowned and asked, "To activate the Dragon Tooth Extermination Array, someone must be in the array to activate it. Once the array is activated, a chain of explosions will begin after 10 breaths. Although the main power will be released into the secret realm, the remaining power will also destroy the mountains and rivers within a radius of thousands of miles. A small half of the Golden Source Mountain Range is destined to be buried.

Given your current state, do you have the confidence to escape safely? "Dao Yin Spiritual Master asked with a frown.

"Master, don't underestimate your disciple. I still have the ability to protect myself. You guys can leave first." Lei Yuce revealed a smile. After saying that, his gaze fell on Su Miaqian.

"Senior Dao Yin, could it be that there's no other good method besides this?

Our Heavenly Water Sect and your Heavenly Sword Sect are both in the Golden Source Mountain Range. In this way, we will definitely be affected.

Moreover, what about the thousands of lives in such a vast area?

Won't they suffer this undeserved disaster for nothing … "Su Miaqian frowned and could not help but ask.

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Chen Chuan, became silent. Obviously, they also had the same question.

When Dao Yin Spiritual Master heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on his face. In the end, he sighed faintly and said,

"You guys don't know, but now we are riding a tiger and cannot back down. We have no choice but to do it …"

"Forget it. Let me explain.

This Dragon Tooth Extermination Array was set up at the request of the Heavenly Court. It is not from the Golden Source Immortal Palace, but a direct order from the Heavenly Court.

They asked us to blow up the entire secret realm. In order to protect the Golden Source Mountain Range, we took the risk to enter the secret realm. We wanted to kill the Black Heavens Evil Lord and take back the Magic Lamp of Time … "Lei Yuce continued and said.

When Su Miaqian heard this, her expression changed slightly. She also knew the weight of an order from the Heavenly Court.

"If the plan was successful, we could suppress the demons in the Time Tower bit by bit with the help of the Magic Lamp of Time. Unfortunately, we failed. Now we have no choice but to use the Dragon Tooth Extermination Array," Lei Yuce continued.

"Once the demons sealed in the tower escape, the Heavenly Court will definitely intervene. At that time, it will not be as simple as killing the demons. Our Heavenly Sword Sect may not be able to protect ourselves, and the Tianshui Sect may also be held responsible.

Under such circumstances, some sacrifices are inevitable. "Dao Yin Spiritual Master sighed and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another roar in the whole valley. The earth shook more violently than before.

"Oh no, I'm afraid the Time Tower can't hold on any longer. We must act immediately. We can't delay any longer." Dao Yin Spiritual Master's expression changed and said.

"Master, please take everyone away. Leave the activation of the array to me." Lei Yuce said, clasping his fists.

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. You must return safely." Dao Yin Spiritual Master saw his firm expression and no longer hesitated.

After speaking, he handed the half-moon-shaped jade amulet to Lei Yuce.

The latter took it into his hand and touched the complicated runes on it. When he felt the warmth coming from it, his eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded heavily.

"Take care." Before leaving, Su Liqian looked back at Lei Yuce and said.

Lei Yuce revealed a smile and nodded again.

Then, Dao Yin Spiritual Master led the rest of the people out of White Head Valley and flew away.

Su Liqian glanced at the small village shrouded in smoke in the Green Silk Depression and sighed softly in her heart.

After everyone left, Lei Yuce flew up and hovered in the air. He put his palms together and held the Dragon Tooth Key in his hand. Then, he started to chant.

As he chanted, the whole White Head Valley began to tremble continuously. Thick semi-arc-shaped stone pillars broke out from all parts of the valley and began to extend from the ground and mountain walls.

Not long after, the entire valley seemed to have grown countless sharp bones and hundreds of black stone pillars emerged.

These stone pillars were engraved with dense circles of strange runes. They were dark red in color and contained an indescribable scorching feeling and waves of uncontrollable Spiritual Energy.

Lei Yuce held the jade amulet in his hand and felt the aura coming from the surroundings. He couldn't help but feel a little thirsty.

However, time was pressing and he didn't have time to think. He could only change his hand sign and throw the Dragon Tooth Key out.

The Dragon Tooth Key lit up with a blood-red light and flew high up into the sky. It was like a blood-red crescent hanging above the valley.

The blood-red moon flashed and emitted bursts of light. The circles of runes on the stone pillars below also flickered with the light.

"Open!" Lei Yuce chanted for a while. Then, he separated his hands and let out a roar.

With this command, the blood-red crescent suddenly shone brightly. With a sudden flash, it directly collapsed and turned into countless blood-red crystal lights that scattered and floated to the stone pillars in the valley.

These crystal lights sprinkled on the stone pillars and the runes on the pillars lit up one after another.

"Ten breaths, nine breaths, eight breaths …"

Lei Yuce silently counted his breaths. His figure burst out and rushed out of the valley.

Immediately after that, there was another escape light in the valley, which chose another direction and flew away.

In the light, it was Xiong Shan who was riding the golden long sword. His speed was not inferior to Lei Yuce's.

"Four breaths, three breaths …"

"One breath …"

"Boom …"

A deafening rumble shook the sky, and a red light shot up into the sky from the Green Silk Hollow. Countless wolf-toothed beams of light shot up from the ground, and the ground within a thousand miles shook violently. It was as if an earth ox was flipping over its body, and the entire ground was lifted up.

Immediately after, the earth that was lifted up was swept by a layer of red light. All the trees and forests on it were completely turned to dust in an instant.

All the villagers in the Surplus Grain Village did not even wait for the red light to approach before they were torn apart by the fierce wind. Even all the buildings in the village and all traces of their existence were wiped out in an instant.

Almost half of the Golden Source Mountain Range began to collapse. The cities, villages, and Immortal sects that were built on it were all destroyed. The casualties were innumerable.
