Chapter 984 Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment

Ding Tong was still looking at Ding Hao with a faint smile.

In the face of Ding Hao who was approaching, Ding Tong seemed to have no intention of fighting.

After a pause, Ding Tong suddenly said, “I heard that you were very protective of your people and cared about the people around you very much. If your current disciple, the poor little girl who had once saved your life, is about to be killed, will you choose to stay here to compete for the Immortal Artifact or to go to save her?”

Ding Hao’s expression changed.

“Ding Tong knows about Nalan Chu?

“Everything was arranged by him?”

An ominous premonition was spreading in Ding Hao’s heart. He suddenly felt that he must have ignored something.

“What role did Nalan Xingde play?”

Thinking of this, Ding Hao subconsciously turned back and looked down from Mount Immortal Tao. As if in response to his gaze, a stream of red flame flashed outside the golden light shield enveloping the Saint-alighting Mountain Range. It broke through the void and did not dissipate for a long time.

“That’s an emergency signal sent by Shan Xiong!”

Ding Hao asked Shan Xiong to guard outside the residence of the Nalan family with Shan Xiong’s men. Once something went wrong, Shan Xiong should immediately go back to inform Ding Hao. If Shan Xiong couldn’t get in touch with Ding Hao, the former should send this signal to find the latter.

“Something must have happened at the residence of the Nalan family.”

Right at this moment—

“Master, where are you? Please show up quickly. Please save Youxia. He is dying… Master, please show up quickly. Please listen to my prayer, Master…” Nalan Chu’s panicked and anxious voice sounded once again.

This time, Ding Hao discovered where Nalan Chu’s voice was from. Her voice had directly appeared in his sea of consciousness. He did not hear it with his ears.

Ding Hao was stunned.

At this moment, Nalan Chu’s vague image appeared in front of his eyes.

In the void in front of him, it was like the past replaying. This well-behaved little girl was trembling with her arms around her legs. It was hard to see where she was, but she was obviously in a very bad situation. There were tears on her small face, and she seemed to be in a panic, like a trembling lamb…

“What’s going on?”

Ding Hao looked up at Ding Tong. He thought it was Ding Tong’s arrangement.

But he found that Ding Tong didn’t seem to have seen the vague image. Ding Tong’s eyes were staring at Ding Hao sarcastically, and Ding Tong didn’t notice Nalan Chu’s vague image in the void at all. Obviously, Ding Tong couldn’t hear Nalan Chu’s voice at all either.

“Master, where are you? I beg you. Chu begs you. Please hear my voice. Youxia is dying. Please hear my prayer. You must save him…” Nalan Chu’s thin voice intermittently sounded in Ding Hao’s sea of consciousness.

The vague image in front of him was getting clearer.

Chu seemed to be in a very strange environment. Strange energy surged around her and her small and delicate body was trembling. Her eyes were filled with despair and hatred as well as aspirations. She was lying on the ground, her white and delicate hands clasped together as she prayed with great effort.

Ding Hao felt it was incredible.

How were the voice and the vague image transmitted here? It was just like an illusion, but it was so clear and real for Ding Hao. In the strong astral wind of Immortal Tao on the Mount Immortal Tao, there was a kind of sad and tragic atmosphere.

Ding Hao confirmed again that Ding Tong really could neither see Nalan Chu’s vague image nor hear her voice.

Ding Tong seemed to have sensed Ding Hao’s abnormality. Ding Tong was also looking Ding Hao up and down with a strange look.

“This seems to be the power of Blood Sacrifice.” The Sword Master’s voice sounded. “Try to respond to her. Maybe she can hear you.”

Ding Hao was stunned.

“A reply blocked by Mount Immortal Tao and the surrounding golden protective shield? Can Nalan Chu hear it?”

“Chu, it’s me. I heard you. What happened to you?” Ding Hao ran his Divine Senses and tried to communicate with her.

A strange tactical deployment was running in the hall of a secret underground chamber 500 meters below the residence of the Nalan family.

Numerous complicated inscription patterns were flashing, and the unimaginably majestic energy was brewing. If one looked down from above, the huge tactical deployment with a diameter of five kilometers was like the most complicated circuit board in the world. Streaks of electric currents passed through and released hot light, making people dizzy at first glance.

Dazzling white light flashed from each pattern.

In the center of this huge tactical deployment, the naked Nalan Youxia was struggling madly in pain. Like a beast that had lost its mind, he was fixed in the center of the tactical deployment, unable to break free. Streaks of silver light visible to the naked eye were constantly separated from the majestic tactical deployment and slowly spreading to his limbs…

Every time the silver threads stretched out a little, Nalan Youxia roared in pain.

He hit the ground with his fists madly like beating drums, and huge power burst out of his body. The ground supported by the tactical deployment collapsed as he hit it. The terrible power had far exceeded the power that Nalan Youxia possessed in his normal state, which was enough to kill a Semi God Realm Master in an instant.

However, the silver ground was supported by a complicated and magical tactical deployment. The ground was as soft as liquid. Every time Nalan Youxia punched down, it would cave in and become soft, removing the terrible force. When Nalan Youxia took back his fist, it would change back to its original shape. No part of it was broken.

Nalan Youxia, who was trapped in the silver tactical deployment, was like a fierce beast of the Archean Period, which had fallen into a net. He struggled madly but could not break free.

Horrifying power was constantly emitted from his body. As time went by, the strength in his body was still increasing, as if there was no end to it.

There were hundreds of white-robed masters guarding the exterior of the enormous secret chamber with expressionless faces. They were the most elite and the most loyal masters of the Nalan family.

On the easternmost side of the chamber, dozens of high-level members of the Nalan family stood together, including Nalan Chu. They were nervously watching Nalan Youxia in the tactical deployment.

“Too slow. This kind of awakening is too slow. We must completely wake up that kind of power before everything in the Saint-alighting Mountain Range is settled.” Nalan Xingde’s handsome face showed a kind of chilling madness. He gritted his teeth, and his white teeth were as sharp as a beast’s. He said, “Put all your resources in and fully activate the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment.”

A figure wearing a light golden mask next to him heard his words and said hesitantly, “But the child’s body can’t bear the full power of the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment. If it is fully activated, I’m afraid that it will destroy his body.”

“Hahaha, I only want the result. I don’t care about the process. If he can’t bear it, let him die.” Nalan Xingde’s voice was almost cruel. “Isn’t this his value?”

“But he… he’s your son, after all.” The figure with a light golden mask tried to persuade him.

“Humph, he is but a lowly bastard. How can he be considered a member of our Nalan family? It’s good if he dies. We can use the dirty blood in his body to wash away the humiliation of our Nalan family,” said a middle-aged beautiful woman while sneering. She was wearing a phoenix hairpin and had a nice figure.

Nalan Xingde laughed coldly and said, “You are right. I brought him back for today’s event. Otherwise, what does his life have to do with me? Besides, he is my child. His flesh and life are given by me, so he should repay me. Haha, you Clay Bodhisattva can divine anything. You should know that the Heaven Path is ruthless. This tactical deployment was set up by you. Why are you being so soft-hearted at this time? Go and fully activate the tactical deployment.”

The figure with a light golden mask hesitated for a moment and finally walked to the edge of the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment, which was flashing wildly with silver light. He began to change some inscription patterns with a kind of special technique.

The next moment, like pouring salt into a warm oil pan, the whole tactical deployment gradually became wilder like boiling water. In the tactical deployment, Nalan Youxia’s painful roar became louder and louder, and he struggled more madly.

There was a kind of terrifying power in his body that was slowly awakening.

This kind of power was extremely terrifying, just like that of the Devil who could destroy the world. Even if they stood thousands of meters away and had the protection of the tactical deployment, the masters of the Nalan family who were responsible for guarding around the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment all changed their expressions dramatically. They had a feeling that they seemed to be sheep being stared at by a tiger.

Moments later, Clay Bodhisattva who was wearing a light golden mask returned and said, “One more day at most. Everything will be completed.”

Nalan Xingde nodded with satisfaction and said, “Great, great. You’re indeed worthy of being the famous Clay Bodhisattva. You’ve divined everything. This time, it’s all up to you. Hahaha, even God’s Palace has been hoodwinked. When they find out the truth, everything will be settled. Hahahaha…”

Nalan Xingde laughed crazily.

His eyes were already burning red, and he was in a state of excitement and madness.

The secret chamber was enormous. It was simply like an underground void.

It could be seen that the Nalan family had spent a lot of manpower and effort to build this secret chamber. On the walls and the ceiling of the secret chamber, there were dragon-like inscriptions quickly flashing and wandering, absorbing all the aura. The outside world could not perceive what was happening there at all.

With a calm look in his eyes, Clay Bodhisattva did not say anything more.

He knew very well that he would always be a tool used by others. He could divine everything, but so what? Since his strength was not powerful enough, he would still be someone else’s pawn. He could tell the lifespan of the God Emperor or the fate of other people, but he could not control his own fate. If he wanted his family to survive, it seemed that he had no other choice.

Unless the situation changed…

He turned to look at the Dragon Roar Heavenly Tactical Deployment.

The extremely complicated inscription patterns seemed to be flashing and moving in a disorderly way, but in his eyes, they really represented the trajectories of all kinds of fate. Countless inscriptions were mixed together in a disorderly way, which was the way the Tao of heaven and earth operated.
