Chapter 80 The Holy Spirit's Killing Game: Questioning Love and Destiny

"At this hour?" Kong Tianxu looked up at the sky. It was still early morning, pitch black. The sacrificial ceremony had to be held at sunrise, so they had made a special trip early today.

He squinted slightly, scrutinizing the coachman he had always had a good impression of, and remained silent for a long time.

The other person looked at him sincerely and with a hint of expectation; his heartbeat, blood flow, and even mental fluctuations were all normal.

Kong Tianxu suddenly laughed and patted the other man's shoulder hard. Cain, who had been watching him closely, noticed that when Kong Tianxu completely withdrew his hand, his face paled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"Go ahead, I hope your daughter is safe and sound."

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!"

Xie Lixin was overjoyed upon hearing this, and thanked them profusely before finally leaving in the opposite direction of the convoy and disappearing into the darkness.

Was he being too suspicious? Looking at the other person's back, which seemed perfectly normal, Kong Tianxu shook his head with a wry smile, his mind gradually sinking into recovery and cultivation.

Ever since the assassination attempt on Xu Tianran, he had become highly sensitive to such matters. Even though it was a perfectly ordinary little thing, it still made him somewhat suspicious.

But this time it's different. The real pillar of strength is the veteran soldier ahead. "If it weren't for Brother Xie pointing me to a new path, I would have missed today's sacrifice if I had taken the old route and gone around in circles. I don't know how much trouble I would have gotten into."

The royal coachman, steadily steering the carriage, muttered to himself, unaware that a hazy, dim moon had fallen into the front carriage.

Kong Tangyu withdrew his martial spirit, unfolded the map in his hand, confirmed the location of the exploration, and then casually put the map with a few strokes aside.

Even before Xie Lixin and the other party agreed on the route change, he had already gone to scout the area. Based on his considerable experience in the military, the route change was indeed a very appropriate choice.

"Hmm, no problem." He reviewed the route in his mind again, nodded, and sent something to the silver bracelet on his wrist.

The mountain road was bumpy, and the dim lights inside the carriage shifted an inch, illuminating the map in a half-light and half-dark manner.

A thick ink line extends westward from Mingdu, marking away the old road that originally wound around the mountain, and replacing it with a slender new path.

They disappeared into the western mountains.

Mingdu, inside a low-key yet sophisticated attic.

Several elderly men in black sat around a round table. The leader, the Original Sin Douluo, closed his eyes and remained silent, stroking the beautiful face of the girl in the moon-white uniform in his arms.

The wound on his forehead had disappeared—or rather, his entire face had been completely transformed.

"Brother, we are all saddened by Chusheng's death, but didn't the leader say that he would take action once the Supreme Leader emerges from seclusion? What are you doing—"

The silence made the atmosphere even more stagnant, and the Second Elder, Nangong Wan, carefully considered his words before speaking.

They were all elders of the Holy Spirit Cult, having grown up within the cult. They had a deep bond and addressed each other as brothers. However, their strength was inferior to that of the worshippers. Apart from their leader, the Original Sin Douluo, none of the others had reached level 95.

"Even if the Supreme Elder emerges from seclusion, he might not make a move. I can't just wait here." The Original Sin Douluo's voice was hoarse. "I've already taken action."

"What?!" Third Elder Ming Lei Douluo slammed his hand on the table in shock. "Weren't they going to the Sun and Moon Mountains for a sacrificial ceremony today? It's so close to Mingdu, even with the Sect Leader's help, they might not be able to do it without leaving a trace. That old bastard Ming Yue went with them, he's not easy to deal with, brother."

"I know him; he's good at escaping. So my goal isn't to kill them, but to trap them until they're starved to death. Once the Supreme Master emerges from seclusion, we'll just have to go with the flow."

"Why are you sleepy?" Masked Douluo asked in confusion.

"Do you still remember the place the leader mentioned before?" The Original Sin Douluo smiled sinisterly, his grip tightening even more despite the trembling of the girl in his arms.

"An hour later, even immortals will not be able to escape."

It seems we haven't arrived yet. Why has the convoy stopped?

Kong Tianxu slowly exited his deep meditation state, and golden light flowed as he opened his eyes. He vaguely felt that his spiritual power seemed to have reached a bottleneck, not only in terms of intensity but also in terms of realm.

Just as he was about to observe the situation outside the carriage, Kong Tangyu suddenly opened the door to their carriage and said with a serious expression:

"Tianxu, we're probably in trouble."

Without needing Kong Tangyu's prompting, Kong Tianxu looked up at the sky and was immediately startled. He discovered that the sky was completely covered by a thick fog. Only five meters below the ground was the fog less dense. Moreover, the fog in the sky faintly displayed shifting shades of gold and silver.

Although the range of his X-ray vision did not decrease, the energy consumption increased significantly, to the point that even the Holy Essence Gathering could not maintain his soul power in a dynamic balance.

Kong Tangyu said in a deep voice:

"You've felt it too, haven't you? Our senses have been greatly weakened. We should have reached our destination by now, but the fog above us is like a cage, trapping us here."

Xu Tianzhen rubbed his sleepy eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, can't you fly out and take a look?"

Kong Tangyu shook his head and said:

"I tried, but it didn't work. After taking off, it felt like the entire sky was against me, and an immense pressure would force me back down. If I hadn't landed in time, my level nine flight soul tool would probably have been destroyed."

That's really strange. Everything seemed normal when I came here before—"

Western Hills, no-fly zone, fog—

Could it be!

Kong Tianxu suddenly rushed out of the carriage. Because of the strange sight outside, the other members of the Sun and Moon Team also came out of the carriage, but they were also at a loss as to what to do about this bizarre scene.

With his soul power and mental power surging wildly, Kong Tianxu pushed his elemental vision and clairvoyance to their limits, finally glimpsing a scene within this strange, dense fog that even a Limit Douluo couldn't see through.

"Grandpa, approximately where are we right now?"

In the boundless silence, he clenched his fists nervously.

Kong Tangyu frowned and thought for a moment, "It should be a small path inside the Sun and Moon Mountains. What's wrong, Tianxu? Did you find anything?"

There can't be any mistake.

Kong Tianxu watched as a golden and silver halo surged from the shadows like a tide in the distance, then crushed the incredibly solid seven-colored rune in his hand.

Fortunately, I had a backup plan.

But this is a bit too much—

"Tell everyone, no matter what happens later,"

He spoke almost word by word, his expression more serious than ever before. Cain even noticed that the usually confident man's palms were slightly sweaty from nervousness.

"You absolutely must tell the truth."

Sun and Moon Mountains, Heaven and Earth Question Love, the Holy Spirit Cult's deadly trap has begun.

Thick fog surged in, and amidst a strange golden and silver light, the figures of the group vanished.
