169 Was Qiao’er’s Body Taken Over?

The scene fell into a brief silence after Venerable Xunling’s disappearance.

Zhou Yun then looked at Ling Qingyun. If he didn’t remember wrongly, before he went into seclusion, Ling Qingyun had gone to look for something that could lure Xin Yu out. Now, it seemed that Ling Qingyun had already found it.

“Sect Leader Ling Qingyun, what should we do now?” In fact, he had heard that even if he killed Xin Yu, he might not be able to leave this world. Zhou Yun had once thought that the two of them would have nothing to do with each other for the time being. Whether they were heretic cultivators or upright disciples, they should leave this world first.

After all, Xin Yu was a nascent soul stage cultivator! Even if they wanted ants to bite an elephant to death, they would not be able to do so. However, one must also take note that this elephant knew immortal techniques!

If they were not careful, they might die in Xin Yu’s hands with the hope of getting out!

Zhou Yun had the system, so he naturally did not want to take this risk that seemed to have a high chance of death!

Only a risk worth taking would be called courage and strategy. It was not courageous to jump into a pit. That’s called an idiot!

With just foundation establishment and golden core cultivators, they wanted to rely on a large array to ambush a nascent soul grand cultivator who had lived for thousands of years and had unknown trump cards and cultivation spells.

If not for the fact that he had no other choice, Zhou Yun would not have wanted to do this!

That was why Zhou Yun wanted to kill Xin Yu. Instead, he was thinking about whether he could leave Xin Yu in this world and let all of them escape.

If it really didn’t work out, the two of them could shake hands and make up, then put on an act and escape from this world together!

Only children would be calculative. Adults had to learn how to achieve a win-win situation!

As long as Zhou Yun could leave this world alive and achieve success in his cultivation, he would definitely laugh while using his spiritual sword to hack Xin Yu, who had caused him to suffer so much!

“Venerable Xunling said that heretic cultivators can’t set foot in the Divine Gate. That’s why we have to kill that heretic cultivator.” Zhou Yun repeated the words of Venerable Xunling.

As the sect leader of the five sects, Ling Qingyun’s mind was naturally very active. She quickly reacted to what Zhou Yun wanted to say. Even Qiao’er raised her head abruptly, looking very interested in joining in!

“This heretic cultivator had said before that his thousand-year plan had already been completed, and he might have already found a way out of this world. If that’s the case, why would he give up his original plan and work with us to get out of this world?” Zhou Yun said.

He had always been curious as to what exactly Ling Qingyun had obtained that would make her so confident in luring the heretic cultivator, Xin Yu out!

“100,000 cultivators from all over the world have already gathered in a secret place. As long as I take that thing out, even Xin Yu would have no choice but to appear and hunt me down. I’m not being complacent. However, with the combined strength of the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array and the 100,000 cultivators, even a late-stage nascent soul cultivator would not be able to escape, let alone a mid-stage nascent soul cultivator! Moreover, there was also that wisp of killing sword Qi from you, Zhou Yun!” Ling Qingyun was still a little against working with heretic cultivators!

After all, she had traveled the world to prepare for this ambush. Even if she were to face Xin Yu, she still had a chance!

Not to mention, the heretic cultivator’s thoughts were not something they could guess. If the other party went back on their word or assassinated them. Then wouldn’t the trump cards they originally held be in vain?

Ling Qingyun was more inclined to fight with Xin Yu to death!

It was obvious that Zhou Yun and Ling Qingyun did not have a good opinion.

After all, both sides had their own ideas. Naturally, Zhou Yun would not say that he was developing in a wretched manner. He needed to say these things now! The sword Qi was about to hit his face. It seemed that he had no choice but to kill them!

“That… I mean, is there a possibility? Even if it was Xin Yu the heretic cultivator. She actually didn’t know all the truth that Venerable Xunling had told her. Therefore, there are many flaws in his plan. For example, the failure of the plan due to insufficient information.” Qiao’er couldn’t help but whisper when she saw Zhou Yun and Ling Qingyun arguing over their own opinions.

“In that case, it seems to be a possibility. After all, Xin Yu had wanted to kill Venerable Xunling from the start. Could it be that Xin Yu thinks that the cultivators of Venerable Xunling’s sect are the remnants of the cultivators who were locked up together with her?” Zhou Yun seemed to have been enlightened. He seemed to understand why Xin Yu kept trying to kill Venerable Xunling.

“But even if her plan fails, what does it have to do with us? As long as I activate the Nine Heavens Array of the Divine Gate, even if Xin Yu were to come and kill her, wouldn’t the outcome be the same? We’ll still go out!” As the eye of the Nine Heavens Array of the Divine Gate, Ling Qingyun was very confident after personally experiencing the power of 100,000 cultivators!

The Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array was like a divine weapon that had descended from the heavens. It had appeared at their most desperate moment and gave Ling Qingyun the hope of defeating Xin Yu!

Zhou Yun turned his head. He had also obtained a detailed explanation of the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array. In fact, after he had comprehended the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array, he had become more and more powerful. Even though this array was somewhat ingenious. However, Zhou Yun felt that he wanted to use this array to fight against Xin Yu, a nascent soul cultivator. It was still a little unrealistic!

It was like a group of ants using mud to build a tall building, trying to arm wrestle with an anteater!

Wasn’t this just courting death?

Nascent soul cultivators were able to comprehend the great momentum of heaven and earth. Zhou Yun had come into contact with them before and naturally knew how terrifying they were when they were supported by the great momentum of heaven and earth!

“Is there a possibility? I mean, it’s just a possibility. The Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array was actually placed in this spiritually deprived ground a thousand years ago. Or rather, this spiritually deprived ground trial. In truth, it was created by that Xin Yu.” Qiao’er’s voice was getting softer and softer. In the end, it was so small that no one around them could hear it.

However, regardless of whether it was Ling Qingyun or Zhou Yun, all the golden core elders in the surroundings retreated to the side with serious expressions and surrounded Qiao’er!

Everyone looked at Qiao’er with serious expressions. Even Zhou Yun had a complicated look on his face.

What Qiao’er said did not sound like something an ordinary captive of the heretic cultivator would say!

“Qiao’er. Something is wrong. Could it be that you are Xin Yu? You’ve taken Qiao’er’s body!” Zhou Yun felt his heart clench. He did not dare to continue thinking!

If Qiao’er’s body was taken over, didn’t that mean that Qiao’er was already dead?

It was as if all the strength in Zhou Yun’s body had been sucked out. The phoenix fire in his body circulated and floated on the surface of his body as if it was about to explode in the next moment!

Ling Qingyun and the other golden core elders also had serious expressions on their faces. They did not have the Divine Gate’s Nine Heavens Array! If the Qiao’er in front of him was Xin Yu, didn’t that mean that all of their plans had been exposed?

“Wait! I’m Qiao’er! Quickly look! I can use the phoenix fire!” Qiao’er quickly explained when she saw everyone’s situation.
