C2469 Waiting for an Opportunity to Make a Move
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ghostly qi in the Hundred Ghost Grand Formation shook intensely. The Heaven Murder Devil Ape was able to fend off the massive army of Hundred Ghosts with his own strength, but he was not at a disadvantage for a short period of time.
However, the Heaven Murder Devil Ape knew that everything was only temporary. As time passed, the Corpsemancer Gu worm within his body would gradually grow, and he knew that he would completely devour it, causing him to become a meaningless Corpsemancer.
...
In the outer area of the Ancient Dragonspine Ridge, a group of people had arrived late.
When the three of them saw the Heavenly Network that covered dozens of miles, they did not come back to their senses for a long time.
"Mother, the Ancient Dragonspine Ridge is right in front of us. It seems like a fight has broken out. There should still be time to make a move now!"
The person who spoke was the Ninth Princess who had gone to seek help. She had not failed to find the Netherheaven hall master that was roaming around in the north.
The Ninth Princess had also spent a great deal of effort to convince her mother to come and help. At first, the Skydark hall master could not understand why her daughter would help kidnap her enemy.
In the end, it was only after the Ninth Princess revealed thousands of Brahma Blood Demon Fruits that the Netherheaven hall master reluctantly agreed to come to the Ancient Dragonspine Ridge to investigate the situation.
"Mother, what are you still standing there for? If you were a little later, Xining might be in danger!" The Ninth Princess tried to forcefully pull her mother away, but how could her strength shake the Netherheaven hall master?
"There's no hurry. Let's continue watching..."
The Netherheaven hall master looked into the distance with a solemn expression. Through the layers of ghostly mist, it could clearly see the situation of the battle.
When she saw the Heaven Murder Devil Ape being suppressed by the Hundred Ghosts, her expression couldn't help but turn serious.
Sure enough, it was as he had expected. The Flower of Evil was the mastermind behind this incident, and this was also the main reason why she didn't dare to join the battle.
Although the Skydark hall master didn't sincerely seek refuge with the Flower of Evil, it reluctantly agreed because of the other party's despotic might. However, if she chose to join the battle, it would be the same as betraying the Flower of Evil in public. With the Nine Sins Skyfox's personality, he would definitely seek revenge in the future.
Even if the Brahma Blood Devil Fruit was indeed very tempting, she would still have to live to enjoy it. As a Netherheaven hall master, she naturally wouldn't act on impulse...
"Mother, didn't you agree to help? Why did you suddenly go back on your word!?" The Ninth Princess was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when she saw that her mother refused to help. She asked angrily.
"I only agreed to come and investigate the situation. I did not say that I must help." The Netherheaven hall master shook its head and spoke in a deep voice.
"Hmph... Since you aren't going to do anything, mother, I'll go myself!" The Ninth Princess coldly harrumphed and prepared to step into the Ancient Dragonspine Ridge.
However, before the Ninth Princess could take two steps, a large hand firmly pressed down on her shoulder. The Netherheaven hall master's terrifying strength made her unable to move at all. "The situation isn't clear yet, so you're not allowed to go either!"
"Let go of me!"
The Ninth Princess struggled desperately for a long time, but facing her mother, she had no strength to resist at all.
After struggling for a long time without any results, the Ninth Princess lowered her head dejectedly. She only weakly turned around to look at her mother, her eyes filled with disappointment.
As the saying goes, mother and daughter are connected by heart. How could the Netherheaven hall master not feel her daughter's current mood? She had never seen her daughter look at her with such a gaze since she was young.
"Sigh..."
The Netherheaven hall master helplessly sighed. Its tone was no longer as unyielding as before. It gently said, "It's not that mother doesn't want to be saved, but she doesn't have the confidence to succeed. You also don't want to see your mother die, right?"
The Ninth Princess was also stunned for a moment. The disappointment in her eyes lessened. She couldn't help but ask, "Is the Nine-Colored Dragon King that powerful?"
"The Nine-Colored Dragon King is a peak overlord True Dragon. I'm also a strong person. However, she had to admit that she was not her match in a one-on-one fight. Moreover, the other party had already set up the Nine-Tune Heavenly Dragon Formation. Mother might only be able to die if she barged in recklessly. " The Netherheaven hall master shook its head and explained patiently.
"Then wouldn't Xining be dead for sure?" The Ninth Princess's pupils suddenly contracted as she spoke with a trembling voice.
"Unless he's able to break the Nine Tune Heavenly Dragon Formation, Mother will be helpless as well. However..." The Netherheaven hall master wanted to say something but hesitated. It seemed like it had some misgivings.2
"But what? Mother, quickly say it!" The Ninth Princess's heart was burning with anxiety as she hurriedly asked.
" However, this mountain range doesn't seem to be ordinary. It faintly emits an ancient dragon aura . This is an excellent geographical location for the Nine-Colored Dragon King. He wants to break the Nine-Turn Heavenly Dragon Formation here. The possibility is almost zero." The Netherheaven hall master hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell his daughter the truth.
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Princess's face was filled with shock. Her entire body went limp as she sat on the snow.
She originally thought that she would be able to turn the tide of the battle with her mother's help, but now it seemed like she was too naive.
This was an inescapable net jointly set up by Chief Commander Nurarihyon and the Nine-Colored Dragon King. How could it be so easy to break it...
When the Netherheaven hall master saw his daughter's dazed appearance, it also felt extremely pained. After hesitating for a moment, it opened its mouth to console her. "Don't be too sad. This kid, Xining, has some strange feelings. I also didn't expect that he would be able to resist the Hundred Ghost Grand Formation with just a single battle spirit. Perhaps there might even be a turning point in this matter. "
"Mother, don't lie to me. Even you're unable to break the Nine Melody Heavenly Dragon Grand Formation. Xining is afraid..." The Ninth Princess raised her head and looked at the gorgeous Nine Color Heavenly Dragon in the distance. A wisp of despair that was called despair arose in her heart.
"Although the chances are slim, Mother can guarantee that so long as that kid, Xining, is able to break the Nine-Tune Heavenly Dragon Grand Formation, then I'll make a move even if I have to risk my life!" The Netherheaven hall master said with a serious expression.
"Is what you said true?"
The Ninth Princess, who had been dejected a moment ago, suddenly stood up. She was so excited that she tightly grabbed the Netherheaven hall master's sleeve.
"Silly child, when did Mother ever lie to you!?" The Skydark hall master gently poked the Ninth Princess's forehead. Immediately, it held her face with both hands. She paced back and forth. "I really don't know what kind of Bewitching Soup that brat Xiining fed you. You shouldn't have been brainwashed by him using a secret technique, right?"
The Ninth Princess struggled to get rid of her mother's demonic claws and muttered, " Aiya... Mother, what are you thinking about!? I only treat Xiining as a good friend. When a friend is in trouble, he can't just leave it at that. Besides, I've already promised him."
"If that's all, then Mother will be at ease. I thought you took a liking to that kid..." The Netherheaven hall master sneered.
"How... How is that possible? Don't speak nonsense!" The Ninth Princess blushed slightly as she tried her best to refute.
"Actually, this kid Xining isn't bad either. It's been a long time since I last saw such a son of heaven's pride in the East Sea. It's a pity that he offended someone he shouldn't have offended too early on. I hope he can survive this tribulation. " The Skydark hall master's smile gradually faded, and it slowly raised its eyes to look at the sky.
"Mother, if Xining isn't able to break the Nine Melody Heavenly Dragon Formation, will you really not make a move?" The Ninth Princess hesitated for a moment, but she still chose to ask the question in her heart.
"If he is unable to break the Nine Tune Heavenly Dragon Formation, then it means that he is only at this level. Even if he manages to escape today, he will die in the hands of the Nine Sins in the future. Our Sea Demon Hall doesn't need such useless allies... " The Sky Underworld Hall Master could make up a lie, but she wasn't willing to lie to her daughter. This time, she chose to speak her heart.
"I can tell that you aren't willing to do anything, no matter what!"
The silent Zhong Yun finally couldn't resist the anger in his heart. He angrily stared at the Skydark hall master and loudly questioned.
