Chapter 1053 With the list in hand, the traitor is brought to justice.
Black Stone Forest, a rocky beach with jagged fangs.
Dark as ink.
Only the howling wind, piercing through the jagged rocks, emitted a shrill, ghostly wail.
Zhang Yuan stood quietly in the shadow of the tallest boulder, as if he had merged with the darkness.
He gripped the Zhenyue Token tightly in his hand.
The divine sense, like an invisible spider web, had already sorted out the earth vein magnetic energy of this area in an orderly manner, laying out an invisible net: the Elemental Magnetic Chain Array!
He is waiting.
Wait for the signal that Team C has succeeded.
Wait for that venomous snake to walk right into the trap.
But Zhang Yuan's plan was far more complex than simply "capturing Mo Wenshu".
He had already considered all the possibilities:
What if Mo Wenshu senses something is wrong and tries to break through?
What if he activates the Shadow Escape Talisman and escapes while he's inside the mine?
What if the list is fake, and they're using it as a diversionary tactic?
He had a plan for every possible outcome.
The activation timing of the magnetic chain array is accurate to the millimeter.
The three-breath duration of the Chaos Star Source Breaking Talisman was calculated.
He had even planned three steps ahead of him, including how to use Mo Wenshu to "betray" him after his arrest and how to use him to infiltrate Xuanwu's network of contacts.
This is Zhang Yuan.
Take one step, but think ten steps ahead.
His plans were flawless.
"Om-"
A specially made Star Source Resonance Seal at his waist vibrated slightly.
Amidst the light and shadow, the brief and urgent thoughts of the captain of Team C were heard.
"The list has been obtained! The target is heading into the mine!"
coming!
Almost simultaneously.
Zhang Yuan's left eye was filled with chaotic starlight, which suddenly accelerated its rotation.
He clearly "saw" that several miles away, at the entrance of the abandoned mine, a ripple appeared in the space that was extremely subtle and imperceptible to ordinary people.
A distorted figure, almost completely blending into the shadows, emerged like a reflection in water.
Mo Wenshu!
His face held his usual caution, along with a hint of barely perceptible smugness.
It is clear that the intelligence has just been transmitted.
He cautiously looked around, and after confirming that no one was following him, he quickly took out a bone talisman from his pocket, which was engraved with complex magic patterns and whose edges were surrounded by chaotic aura.
Shadow Escape Talisman!
This talisman was a secret creation of the Yunyi clan, capable of instantly disappearing into spatial crevices and traveling thousands of miles in a flash.
These treasures are invaluable tools for saving lives and transmitting intelligence.
Mo Wenshu did not hesitate at all.
He sensed a faint alarm fluctuation coming from the direction of the Dan Ding Si.
Although there was no definite news, his years of vigilance led him to make a decision immediately:
Leave immediately!
He was about to infuse the bone talisman with demonic energy from his fingertips.
"Om-"
however.
In that very instant!
"Buzz—!!!"
The entire tusk-covered rocky beach, spanning several miles, suddenly trembled!
It wasn't a violent shaking.
It is a pulsation originating from the depths of the earth, so heavy it is suffocating!
It was as if an ancient behemoth, which had been sleeping, had opened its eyes at this moment!
Countless visible magnetic chains, as thick as a child's arm, shimmering with an earthy yellow and chaotic gray light.
It suddenly sprang out from the depths of the earth, from the cracks in the surrounding rocks, and even from the void without any warning!
They are not physical entities.
It is even more durable than refined gold.
It contains immense power to suppress the earth and imprison all things!
Magnetic Chain Array, activate at full power!
The timing of the appearance of these chains—
Precision down to the millimeter level!
It was just before Mo Wenshu was most relaxed and about to escape!
Their target is not Mo Wenshu himself.
It was the Shadow Escape Talisman in his hand, which was about to be activated.
And, the small patch of space around him!
Zhang Yuan had already calculated this.
Given Mo Wenshu's cautious nature, he would definitely use the Shadow Escape Talisman to escape first, rather than risk going to the ground.
As long as the space is sealed off the moment he activates the talisman, the talisman will be compressed by the force field and rendered ineffective.
One wrong step, and the whole game is lost.
Zhang Yuan, however, would not allow him to take any of the right steps.
"Snap—!"
A piercing cracking sound rang out!
Mo Wenshu stared in utter horror at the Shadow Escape Talisman in his hand. That precious bone talisman was enough to give him a chance to escape even when facing a Venerable One.
Under the terrifying force field formed by countless Dao Yuan magnetic chains, it was as fragile as glass, and its surface was instantly covered with spider web-like cracks!
The chaotic demonic energy flowing above it seemed to have encountered its nemesis, emitting a hissing sound.
It was forcibly suppressed and dispersed by the power interwoven with earthy yellow and gray light!
The Void Transmission Talisman has failed!
"Who?!"
Mo Wenshu's spirit was gone.
With a shriek, the demonic energy within his body erupted without reservation, attempting to forcefully break free from the constraints of this strange force field.
He retreated rapidly, trying to escape back into the mine.
But it was all too late.
A figure appeared above his head as if by teleportation.
It blocked all his escape routes.
There was no earth-shattering burst of energy.
There was only a terrifying pressure originating from the very source of life, like that of a primordial beast.
Like an invisible, colossal mountain, it crashed down with a deafening roar!
The overwhelming power of the Myriad Beasts Divine Armor is unleashed!
hum!
Mo Wenshu felt as if his soul was being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand!
My thoughts froze for a moment.
The blood was almost frozen.
The raging demonic energy within his body was instantly silenced and its circulation disrupted by this pure, ancient, and domineering pressure, like boiling water poured on snow!
His retreating figure suddenly froze, as if he had been nailed to the spot.
The color drained from his face.
All that remained was boundless horror and disbelief.
He struggled to lift his head.
He met a pair of cold eyes.
Those eyes.
In my left eye, it seemed as if a chaotic vortex was devouring the light.
His right eye was burning with a divine fire that could incinerate all things.
His gaze was calm.
Yet it contains a sharpness that pierces the soul.
And a kind of... vicissitudes and indifference as if he had seen through his millions of years of fate.
"Mo Wen?"
A calm voice rang out, like the whisper of death, clearly reaching Mo Wenshu's ears.
With a hint of all-knowing sarcasm.
"Or perhaps, a 'shadow' who has been lurking in the Sky Continent for three hundred years under the command of Venerable Xuanwu?"
Mo Wenshu trembled violently.
This name.
This code name.
It is his deepest secret!
How could they have known?!
He looked at that young face, yet it was etched with endless vicissitudes.
Feeling the terrifying suppression emanating from the depths of his bloodline brought by that ancient armor.
"You...you are..."
Mo Wenshu's voice was distorted and deformed by extreme fear, almost inhuman.
Zhang Yuan did not answer.
He simply raised his hand slowly.
The Zhenyue Decree emitted a powerful and majestic light, causing the earth's magnetic energy to surge even more violently.
"Take it."
The cold command was like a final judgment.
From the surrounding shadows, Yue Qing, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, led the elite troops of the Xuan Turtle Zhenhai Camp out like a tidal wave.
Cold weapons, chains gleaming with magnetic light.
In an instant, Mo Wenshu, who had completely lost the ability to resist, was tied up like a rice dumpling.
This venomous snake, which had been lurking deepest, transmitting countless pieces of intelligence to the Demon Realm and Xuanwu, and indirectly causing the deaths of countless comrades, has finally been caught!
Zhang Yuan stared coldly at Mo Wenshu, who was being dragged away by chains.
The list is in hand.
The traitor was executed.
The first step toward the core battlefield of Tianyuan City has been taken!
But he knew this was just the beginning.
The real storm is yet to come.
He had already laid out his next move.
They're just waiting for the Demon Realm to walk right in. (End of Chapter)
