Chapter 480: Chapter 180 Capricious Sikong Yan (6k)_4
Sikong Yan’s mouth curled up in a subtle, eerie smile, but it vanished in an instant.
At this moment, everyone present was captivated by the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, their gazes heated and greedy, so no one noticed this slight movement, except Zhou Qing.
Standing at the edge of the crowd, Zhou Qing caught the unusual movement at the corner of Sikong Yan’s mouth out of the corner of his eye, and his heart suddenly tightened, narrowing his eyes slightly without a sound.
He immediately focused on the array eye that was about to disappear and began to appraise it.
[Incomplete Demon-Sealing and Killing Array: This is an array disc of the Five-Color Restriction, invaluable, but unfortunately incomplete, only able to exert the power of four colors, mainly used to eliminate the demon race trapped within.]
[But what no one knows is, a quadrant of the incomplete part has been arranged with another Four-Color Killing Array, which, once activated, will attack indiscriminately.]
Seeing the information he received, Zhou Qing’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Indeed, he knew Sikong Yan would not easily share such a priceless treasure as the Nine Nether Demon Lotus equally with their Three Sects.
How could he have such precious materials for the Four-Color Killing Array?
Perhaps, activating the Demon-Sealing and Killing Array didn’t require that many rare materials at all; what was truly needed was the hidden Four-Color Killing Array.
Thinking of this, and looking again at the calm-faced Sikong Yan, Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to return to his Qi Condensation days, looking at his Uncle Gao Xuan.
Mysterious, terrifying, and unfathomable!
Time passed little by little, and finally, under everyone’s excited gaze, the array eye was perfectly concealed, with no trace visible from the outside.
"It’s done!" Master Xuanji exchanged a glance with Sikong Yan, their eyes filled with excitement.
The people of the Three Sects Alliance were equally excited.
Duanmu Shu impatiently asked, "What do we do next?"
The others also looked over, their eyes full of expectation.
Sikong Yan swept his gaze over everyone, slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, and said, "Wait!"
Master Xuanji followed up, "The Nine Nether Demon Lotus needs a large amount of demon beast essence blood to mature. Since the pocket is ready, all that’s missing now is a certain number of demon beasts."
"Approximately how many are needed?" Cao Zhengyang couldn’t help but ask.
Sikong Yan said, "The more, the better, of course, and there must be a good reason; at the very least, our sect cannot bear this black pot."
Lei Wuji said, "You mean, have the demon kings start a war first?"
Sikong Yan said, "Naturally, because after the Holy Medicine of Hou Mountain was lost, our Five Sects helped to search for it, but they bit back at us later, uniting with other demon kings to backstab us. We have no choice but to retaliate."
"Are you not afraid of the karmic retributions in the dark? Even if there’s only a slim chance, I don’t want to take the risk," Sikong Yan looked at Duanmu Shu and the others and asked.
The crowd fell silent, then looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Alright, since that’s the case, let’s formulate a plan. After all, according to the agreed time with the demon king Hou Mountain, only a few days are left, and they might not be able to wait already!" Sikong Yan said with a smile.
Everyone immediately discussed the next plan, and Zhou Qing just stood quietly by the side, not participating at all.
In the end, the general plan was for the main personnel to return occasionally and act like they were still searching, to avoid arousing the demon kings’ suspicion.
Moreover, the more prepared they are, the more demon races they bring, the more it will help the Nine Nether Demon Lotus mature.
Of course, the Supreme Elders, who have never shown themselves, can hide here and monitor the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, providing some reassurance.
After a brief consideration, Zhou Qing said to Cao Zhengyang, "Uncle, could you stay here with me for one more day, and then we’ll go back together?"
Cao Zhengyang was puzzled, but seeing Zhou Qing’s serious expression, he didn’t ask much and nodded, agreeing.
He believed Zhou Qing must have his reasons for doing this, and he was willing to give Zhou Qing enough space to handle things.
