Chapter 752: Surprising Turn

As the commencement of the decision stage drew closer, the conference venue gradually began to quiet down, and everyone turned their attention to the three figures seated at the head of the table.

Right at this moment, Xiao Buye abruptly raised his head to inspect his surroundings, and Huang Fuyu's expression also changed slightly.

"What's wrong, Palace Master Huang?" Wyrm 3 immediately asked.

All of the other regional monarchs had also noticed the changes in Xiao Buye and Huang Fuyu's expressions, and the tension in the air only became heavier.

All of a sudden, Huang Fuyu rose to his feet as a layer of radiant white light emerged over his body, and he glowered intently at Yin Chengquan as he asked, "What's the meaning of this, Regional Monarch Yin?"

As soon as Huang Fuyu rose to his feet, all of the regional monarchs who were allied to the Reincarnation Region immediately followed suit, and some of the more aggressive ones among them had even summoned immortal treasures in preparation for battle.

Xiao Buye hadn't risen to his feet, but he was also glowering intently at Yin Chengquan with an accusatory look in his eyes.

In the face of the rapidly escalating tensions, Yin Changquan remained calm and silent.

However, all of the regional monarchs allied to the Infernal Region had stood up to oppose those allied to the Reincarnation Region.

"This is the Three Region Conference! Is your Reincarnation Region trying to rebel?" Tian Ku accused in a scathing manner.

"Rebel? Are you implying that the Infernal Region is the ruler of the Gray Realm? What a joke!" Xiao Buye scoffed in a cold voice.

Tian Ku knew that he had misspoken, and he had no response to this.

Yin Chengquan remained seated as he took a glance at Huang Fuyu and Xiao Buye, then said, "What's going on all of a sudden, everyone? The decision stage is about to commence, and we're going to be deciding the future fate of our Gray Realm. Why have we suddenly all taken up arms against each other at a time like this?"

"Do you take us for fools, Regional Monarch Yin? You've activated spatial restrictions all around the Fallen Lake Area to isolate this place from the outside world. What is the meaning of this?" Huang Fuyu asked in a cold voice.

Only then did everyone finally understand what had just happened, and the entire conference venue erupted into chatter as everyone turned their attention to Yin Chengquan.

In the face of everyone's hostile scrutiny, Yin Chengquan remained calm and collected, and a faint smile had even appeared on his face.

At this point, all of the preparations were complete, so it hardly mattered that he had been caught.

After plotting for so long, he could finally enact his plan.

"Everyone..." Yin Chengquan began.

Right at this moment, an explosion rang out in the distance, and a tremendous evil aura erupted into the heavens before proliferating outward in all directions.

At the same time, an enormous ball of black light had also emerged from the epicenter of the explosion, and all of the baleful qi near Asura City was churning violently as rumbling thunderclaps rang out above the swirling gray clouds overhead.

Even the three dim suns in the sky were beginning to undergo a change as they were approaching each other, even overlapping in some parts, but they hadn't completely overlapped yet.

"It's almost time for our regional monarch to enact his plan, yet we've completely messed up! Do you really think catching a few rats will be enough to spare us from punishment? The only silver lining here is that the Kun Hou hasn't been completely freed yet. Our top priority right now is to contain it, then wait for reinforcements to arrive!" Yin Xu spat through gritted teeth, then flew directly upward while making a string of hand seals.

A streak of black light flew out of his body, then transformed into a black badge.

The badge appeared to be quite similar to the infernal badge, except there were nine ghostly heads engraved onto this one.

Yin Xu opened his mouth to expel several balls of blood essence into the badge, and it immediately began to glow radiantly with black spiritual light.

At the same time, the nine ghostly heads swelled to several times their original size before opening their mouths in unison, releasing nine bursts of black light that vanished into the nearby space in a flash.

Numerous red chains shot out of the nearby space, then wrapped themselves around the Kun Hou's arm and head.

However, these chains summoned by Yin Xu were clearly far thinner than the ones already around the Kun Hou's body.

Meanwhile, Gui Mu took another glance at Han Li, seemingly still rather reluctant to let them get away.

The flames within the Kun Hou's eye flared up as it swung its arm through the air again, releasing a burst of tremendous force that caused the nearby space to tremble violently.

A string of loud clangs rang out as most of the chains summoned by Yin Xu were instantly snapped.

Yin Xu's complexion instantly paled significantly as he threw up a mouthful of blood, then turned to Gui Mu as he yelled in a furious voice, "What the hell are you doing, Gui Mu?! Hurry up and help me!"

Gui Mu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and he immediately flew over to Yin Xu's side before releasing two thick beams of light out of the palms of his hands and into Yin Xu's body.

Yin Xu's complexion instantly improved slightly, and he made a rapid string of hand seals, upon which more chains flew out of the black badge before wrapping themselves around the Kun Hou's body.

Han Li was ecstatic to see this from another corner of the hall, and he immediately flew toward the black vine cage that Weeping Soul was trapped in.

At the same time, the Profound Heavenly Gourd appeared in front of him, then immediately began to radiate bright green light.

As Han Li chanted an incantation while making a rapid string of hand seals, the green light radiating from the gourd grew even brighter, while the gourd itself swelled to several times its original, and rows of green runes appeared on its surface.

Gui Mu was curious to see this.

The entirety of Asura City was most likely on high alert at this point, so it didn't matter if he allowed Han Li and the others to get away for now as they would eventually just be captured again, but he couldn't allow You Luo to go with him.

With that in mind, Gui Mu let loose a low roar, and eight black talismans flew out of his body, then transformed into eight giant spiked mace-like weapons.

A tremendous evil law aura was emanating from these weapons, and every single one of them was no less formidable as a graded immortal treasure.

The eight giant weapons shot forth toward Han Li, and at the same time, the black cage around Weeping Soul rose up from the ground before flying toward Gui Mu and Yin Xu.

Instead of being dismayed by this turn of events, Han Li's eyes lit up as his Mantra Treasured Axis appeared behind him amid a flash of golden light.

The axis released countless golden ripples that encompassed the eight giant weapons, and they were instantly slowed down, but they were imbued with such tremendous power that the entire area of golden ripples immediately began to tremble violently, looking as if it could fall apart at any moment.
