Chapter 5265 The Trap of Vertical Pupils
"Their ambition is quite large. This set of rules must be some kind of primordial power. Success will not be easy."
Hua Can murmured softly. Since he was in the dark anyway, he remained calm and watched how Xiao Yan and Ye Beijing would handle the situation.
Ye Beijing only made Xiao Yan's power of possession stronger; Xiao Yan himself was the one who controlled this power.
"Concentrate your will, my lord. You must believe that the Chimi clan's power to possess is omnipotent," Ye Beijing said slowly. As for her identity, she didn't seem to be deliberately hiding anything.
According to the memories Xiao Yan obtained from the Nine Nether Profound Flame, everything was the work of the Vertical Pupil, which brought its clone here.
It's not just about making things difficult for him, is it? If that's all, then it's rather strange.
Are all the methods used by those in charge of extermination so simple and low-level?
Of course, Xiao Yan hasn't retrieved his clone yet, but he still feels that the current situation is a bit too simplistic.
Given the way the Extermination Division operates, there are bound to be some unexpected variables involved.
Xiao Yan couldn't say it aloud; he could only be even more cautious.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to possess the seated clone, he suddenly stopped.
"No, something's wrong!"
The one who should be possessed is not his clone. If it was arranged by the vertical pupil, then his current clone is the real bait.
The reason they deliberately prevented him from taking it away was to provoke Xiao Yan, so that he would focus all his attention on the clone.
The situation took an unexpected turn. Xiao Yan realized this, so he stopped trying to possess someone and instead focused his attention on the dark rules.
"To catch the thief, first catch the king; let's see what tricks they're playing!"
Xiao Yan unleashed his power to possess another body, spreading across the darkness. He was worried that even with Ye Beijing as his backer, he didn't know if he could succeed.
The soul power of the Illusory Realm erupted suddenly, thoroughly exploring every inch of this place.
However, just as Xiao Yan was going deeper into the depths, his soul suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he immediately opened his eyes and took several steps back.
"Let's go... we can't keep this clone."
Xiao Yan sensed something was wrong once again. Although he didn't know what it was, it was something that could instantly and severely damage his soul.
Ye Beijing did not doubt Xiao Yan. Instead, she reached out, took his arm, and led him backward at high speed, wanting to leave this pitch-black darkness.
"Hua Can!"
Ye Beijing called out, but received no response. Xiao Yan frowned slightly. At this moment, his soul power was injured, but it was still sweeping across the surroundings.
“His aura has vanished,” Xiao Yan replied through gritted teeth.
"That despicable guy! I knew he was behind everything here, defiling his mother!" Ye Beijing said angrily.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Ye Beijing's words made them unable to suppress their laughter, but they soon stopped laughing.
"After we came in, it took about an incense stick's time to find the clone, and now it has taken more than an incense stick's time to retreat."
Xiao Yan said that if they hadn't been able to leave even after exceeding the time they had spent inside and were moving even faster than before, it meant that they had become lost.
Immediately, Xiao Yan activated the Soul of the Void, preparing to directly cross space and leave. With a wave of his hand, a spatial rift appeared.
Xiao Yan grabbed Ye Beijing and led her into the crevice.
Passing through the crack, there was no sudden opening up; it was still as thick as ink that couldn't be dissolved.
Still haven't gotten out!
At this moment, it felt as if I had entered the dream of the Lord of Dreams.
Upon arriving here, Xiao Yan realized that the toy with the vertical pupils had already begun.
When he felt the warmth disappear from his hand and the boundless darkness, he realized that Ye Beijing was gone, even though they had just been holding hands.
"What exactly is going on... Could it be that the vertical pupil isn't just targeting me, but is trying to trick Ye Beijing and Hua Can?"
Just as Xiao Yan was pondering, streaks of gray-white sword energy attacked from all around, forcing him to dodge.
Fortunately, the sword energy didn't last long, and the darkness returned to calm.
Ignoring his injured soul, Xiao Yan continued to use the Void Soul to traverse the darkness, trying to find a way to leave.
In the darkness, Xiao Yan could only feel the passage of time, and he didn't know how much time had passed.
"We have tried all the spatial nodes, but we still can't get out. Moreover, the rules here are extremely strange, with no specific pattern, and it seems very chaotic."
Every so often, sword energy would emanate from Hua Can, growing stronger and stronger.
Xiao Yan kept dodging and suppressing his surging blood and qi.
"Hehehe—how does it feel?"
A sharp, maniacal laugh came from the darkness, but Xiao Yan couldn't see any figure, only the sound and the fact that it could be there.
Besides the Chief of Extermination Division, it seems like I can't think of anyone else.
"None of you can escape. This dark chaos was specially prepared. It's a real pity for the Venerable One from Shenxi."
"What are you going to do!" Xiao Yan asked coldly.
"What we do and what we can do is just let you play here."
"Play here for a hundred years... a thousand years... ten thousand years!!"
"Or perhaps we'll never be able to leave this place."
The sharp voice continued to emanate from the darkness. Xiao Yan frowned slightly, having likely already guessed what the Extinction Division was planning to do.
"Vertical Pupil, how can you be sure they'll come with me?" Xiao Yan asked, realizing he was just a foil, and that the target of the Annihilation Division was Ye Beijing and Hua Can!
"The chessboard is only so big. Even if there are many variables, some can be expected. What do you say, Your Excellency?" The vertical pupil knew Xiao Yan's identity and seemed to be playing a game of chess with him.
"Huh? Wait a minute, how did you know I have vertical pupils!?"
A surprised voice came from the darkness. Xiao Yan shouldn't have been able to see it, and even if he had, the term "vertical pupil" was only used by members of the Extinction Division.
"You told them these things, didn't you? Ye Beijing has no hope, so you're pressuring Hua Can." Xiao Yan ignored him and continued to ask, wanting to further confirm his suspicions.
"His Majesty is still His Majesty, as clever as ever. It should be soon. That fellow is about to lose his temper, hehehe!"
"This is so much fun! It's coming, it's coming! His aura is rising!!!"
The voice in the darkness was like that of a madman, sharp and piercing, making one feel mad and uneasy.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly enveloped him, and the voice of the vertical pupil disappeared.
Xiao Yan immediately activated all his primal power, and the Annihilation Flame condensed around him, protecting him with all his power.
His gaze fell upon the darkness, which appeared as if it were a sheet of paper being slowly sliced open from afar.
"We've been tricked! We've finally been tricked!!!"
The voice of the vertical pupil echoed again in the darkness. Xiao Yan frowned, wondering what the vertical pupil was doing.
"Could it be that Ye Beijing and the Immortal Fire Demon Consort talked about how the seventh level of shackles can cause even the strongest to disappear?"
