Chapter 650: Chapter 198: The Plot Unfolds, Third Grade Emerges; Tigers and Wolves Devour the Exotic Beast Together
The fusion of the Miracle Beast Garden and the Lianyi House satisfied two conditions:
First, a large number of undead rushed onto Ghost Street, causing it to "overload";
Second, the Black Lotus entered Jasper Pool, the Jade Remains consumed the Peach of Immortality, which caused items from the Miracle Beast Garden to attack the Lianyi House, and vice versa. During this mutual attack, both sides left their original positions and moved toward each other.
Whether it was the Black Lotus or the Peach of Immortality, they contained far more than a single attack, so... the Miracle Beast Garden and Lianyi House could attack each other a corresponding number of times. This was similar to when Xiaozhao used Evil Ghost Tools and ended up attracting a vendor’s attack, or when Lady Yan proactively used tools from weaker evil ghosts on herself, thereby forcing the fusion of those weaker evil ghosts...
Because both sides could attack frequently, such power allowed them to crash open the Bronze Gate at the center of Ghost Street, maintaining the power required to keep it open.
Ghost Street could no longer hold them back.
However, Lü Xuanxian directly shattered the very foundation of all this.
Everything was extremely precise.
Both Zhao Guyue’s incense burning and Peng Mingyi’s peach-eating were indispensable parts of this fusion.
At this moment, if the incense stopped burning, the most direct consequence was: the undead would cease.
Those who died outside the Jade Capital City truly died, their Divine Souls drifting away instead of re-entering Ghost Street to become tools for the Evil Ghosts to attack the end of Ghost Street.
On the other side, as Peng Mingyi leaped into the Jasper Pool, he was caught in a state similar to "freezing," he could no longer devour the Peach of Immortality. Without consuming the Peach of Immortality, the power that allowed the Lianyi House to attack the Miracle Beast Garden diminished, and its limited power quickly became insufficient to keep the gate open.
When the Bronze Gate closed again, the Lianyi House would retreat behind it, and the Miracle Beast Garden alone would no longer be able to open the Bronze Gate.
Thus, their fusion would naturally be forcibly interrupted, and everything would turn into a mirage.
The intricate operation, like a very precise machine, often just needs a nudge at a critical moment to break it.
The key is to be in the right place at the right time, as the right person.
Therefore, Li Yuan could relatively easily slaughter the Emperor.
Lü Xuanxian could also disrupt the "fusion plan of the Lianyi House and the Miracle Beast Garden."
As for the cooperation between Li Yuan and the Dragon Vein, the most important thing is not here but after the war.
In other words, the Dragon Vein hopes that Li Yuan can serve as a kind of transition.
To transition the world from the brink of collapse to the restoration of harmony.
This transitional period can only be achieved by someone as capable as Li Yuan.
Afterward, once he cedes his position to "the child in Xie Wei’s womb," he would go to the Imperial Mausoleum to become a powerful loyal spirit of an era, and everything would restore to its original state, the world would enter a new order, and history would unfold a new Chapter.
...
At this time, Li Yuan didn’t even step out of the carriage; he merely lifted the curtain and observed the battle outside with detachment, pondering the internal logic and situation.
Lü Xuanxian directly attacked the enemy’s core.
Thirty thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Army were crisscrossing, cutting through the scattered Ghost Riders.
Suspected Ghost Servants dispatched by the Dragon Vein were dealing with the National Preceptor lineage’s remains...
In the distance, it seemed there were still many people approaching. Li Yuan felt those people should be the Martial Artists from Jade Capital City who had not perished. These Martial Artists hearing such clear sounds of battle swiftly came over.
Everything seemed to be all set.
So in the future, should he think about how to get along with the Dragon Vein?
Since this situation did not require Li Yuan to make a move, he would not deliberately show off.
However, even the Dragon Vein probably couldn’t understand why he was "immortal"...
Thus, unless a true path to break through the Third Grade could be found, otherwise, when the time came, the Dragon Vein might want to "dissect" him to see how he achieves immortality.
If everything Lü Xuanxian said was correct, then the Dragon Vein would overall be "righteous," whereas entities like the Lianyi House would be "evil."
But whether righteous or evil, both were dangerous to Li Yuan.
It used to be threats from entities like the Lianyi House...
And after this victory, it was the Dragon Vein’s turn.
The Dragon Vein is likely to dominate the overall situation.
He and Lady Yan seemed to have no other choice but to surrender...
It’s like the "Vassal Kings" of ancient times surrendering, who were tightly controlled with no justice.
In other words, it was captivity.
Li Yuan looked at the one-sided situation before him and sighed inwardly.
This massacre, although the likes of the Lianyi House were severely defeated, but he did not achieve victory either...
He lost.
The situation he had hoped for did not occur, and the preparations he made were naturally useless.
Even though Lady Yan had already sent her subordinate remains to the Fujiang Path beforehand, it ended up being futile.
Though it was regrettable, Li Yuan quickly calmed himself, accepted reality, and began contemplating the road ahead, how should he proceed?
Time passed, second by second...
The Bronze Giant Gate at the end of Ghost Street began to close slowly, and the "Shouyi Evil Ghost, Human Head Lantern, Leaking Corpse" as well as "Snake, Exotic Beast, Pig" were caught in the door, presenting a state of triadic contention.
Gradually, the fusion began to be disrupted.
The situation was set to be completely settled.
Li Yuan propped his chin, his eyes shimmering with a faint glow.
The battle outside seemed unrelated to him, he was contemplating how to be the Emperor, and how to perform the Golden Cicada’s Shell in several hundred years.
While thinking, at the edge of Li Yuan’s perception, a swirl of energy suddenly appeared.
Li Yuan’s contemplative expression immediately turned to one of confusion, he then abruptly looked up, pupils narrowing, filled with a grave look within.
