Chapter 1306: Rampage

"Tian Gou..." Yan Zhichun suppressed her temper and said through gritted teeth, "I don't want to hear you praise this so-called 'masterpiece' anymore."

"Oh..." Tian Gou paused for a moment, "Am I not explaining it well enough... or..."

"Get to the point..." Yan Zhichun continued, "What exactly does he want me to activate—the 'Tianji Shike'? No... what does Qi Xia want me to activate?"

...

Qi Xia pressed his forehead and said coldly, "Is she crazy enough?"

...

"Your current state..." Tian Gou hesitated, "You're not suitable to activate the 'Tianji Shike' yet... so I still need..."

"I advise you to know your limits." Yan Zhichun said with a cold expression, "The only reason I'm here with everyone and have listened this far is out of trust in Bai Yang, not in you. If you keep going, I might refuse to cooperate."

Seeing Yan Zhichun's calm demeanor, Tian Gou muttered, "Still... not enough..."

Yan Zhichun frowned slightly: "What isn't enough?"

Tian Gou swallowed hard and quickly thought through the situation. Qi Xia clearly couldn't hear anything, yet it seemed like he could see everything here.

Yan Zhichun was being far too rational right now. How could they trigger a 'Tianji Shike' that belonged to her? If her rationality couldn't turn to madness, then they had to shake it as much as possible. Otherwise, relying solely on 'Xinnian' to hold it together... that just wouldn't work...

Seizing the moment, Di Gou stepped forward, interrupting his thoughts, and asked quietly, "Tian Gou, about this 'Sun'—when did it roughly change to the owner of 'Xun Zong'?"

Tian Gou was annoyed and didn't really want to answer, but seeing Di Gou's murderous glare, he hesitated and replied, "About a year or more... or maybe two years ago? I don't remember clearly. It wasn't my responsibility; Tian She was in charge."

Overhearing the conversation between Tian Gou and Di Gou, Yan Zhichun seemed to piece something together and turned to look at Jiang Ruoxue.

"'Xun Zong'... that old man is 'Xun Zong'..." She paused, "Ruoxue... when did you recruit that old man who likes digging in the ground?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Ruoxue thought for a moment, "If I think about it carefully... it should have been around a year ago...?"

Yan Zhichun paused. Normally, the "Zhong Yan Zhi Di" rarely produced two identical "Hui Xiang" naturally, unless the owner of one "Hui Xiang" had lost their mind or turned into something else.

From this perspective... that old man must have inherited "Xun Zong" from the owner of this eye.

So, the old man hadn't been digging in the ground all along—it was only in the last year that he suddenly started.

She felt there was some subtle connection between these two things, but with the information she had, it was hard to figure out.

Meanwhile, Tian Gou didn't want Yan Zhichun to get distracted by this anymore and was anxiously thinking of a solution.

...

Qi Xia: "If she's crazy enough, implement it. If not, find a way to shake her. Your life is tied to her rationality now."

He paused and added, "Look at the 'Sun' under your feet. Your time is running out."

...

Tian Gou lowered his head and suddenly noticed that the "Sun" beneath his feet was starting to emit a faint, subtle light.

He felt a chill run down his spine in that instant. Dawn was coming; Tian Long was about to wake up...

As someone who had deliberately gouged out all his eyes as a "Tianji" being, could he really survive?

"Please... help me out here... What are you all so afraid of..." Tian Gou turned back, grabbing Yan Zhichun's hand, "With so many of you here... would I really dare to betray you?! So many experienced 'Hui Xiang Zhe'... and one completely unharmed 'Diji'... I'm just a 'Ling Wen'..."

"I've heard your voice, so I'm not afraid of you." Yan Zhichun said, "But I'm afraid you'll betray everyone's lives in the 'Zhong Yan Zhi Di' at the last moment."

"Me, betray everyone's lives?! But Tian Long is about to wake up!!" Tian Gou shouted, "You said it yourself—this is the last moment. What's the point of betraying them now?! Once Tian Long awakens, no one will survive! Besides... this 'Tianji Shike' isn't targeted at 'Taoyuan'... We didn't close the door when we came in—don't you know why?"

"What?" Yan Zhichun seemed to grasp the answer but couldn't quite believe it.

"Don't you understand what Qi Xia means..." Tian Gou said anxiously, gripping Yan Zhichun's shoulders.

Jiang Ruoxue frowned at the sight and stepped forward, firmly grabbing Tian Gou's arm: "Hey... watch how you talk. Don't keep grabbing people."

"I have no choice..." Tian Gou gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Zhichun, what we need to do now is simple... Just listen to me... as long as you listen..."

Yan Zhichun frowned coldly: "I'm listening."

"Then inject your 'Duoxin Po' into the 'Chu Neng', and then use it to unleash 'Duoxin Po' with 'Xun Zong' on the entire 'Lieche'... That's your unique 'Tianji Shike'..."

Yan Zhichun stared at Tian Gou with wide eyes, and after a long pause, she asked, "But why... Do I need to make them all do the same actions as me?"

"The same actions as you? What are you talking about..." Tian Gou trembled as he spoke, "Of course, it's to use 'Duoxin Po' to seize a part of everyone's rationality... to directly enhance their mastery of 'Xian Fa'... That way, we can fight Tian Long at dawn... This is the only 'Kuang Luan Shike' that you can successfully activate...!"

"Wha..." Yan Zhichun was stunned, "A 'Shike' where everyone goes mad...?"

Lin Geng and Jiang Ruoxue widened their eyes behind Yan Zhichun, while Di Gou stood nearby with a stern, expressionless face.

"This plan is crucial, Yan Zhichun!"

"You... you're making this up..." Yan Zhichun paused, shocked, "If it were that important, Bai Yang would have told me in advance... How could it come down to a stranger like you, a 'Tianji', relaying it at this critical moment? No matter how I look at it, something's off."

"Bai..." Tian Gou pulled at Yan Zhichun, his face full of fear, "How can you still be so naive... Wake up! Yan Zhichun... The 'Zhang Duo Ren' has already been replaced! His plans might be completely different from what you think... with Bai... anyway, it could all be different! But our goal is just to survive in the end!"

Yan Zhichun froze for a moment, realizing she had overlooked a key issue all along.

The person she'd known for seven years, the one who truly cared about her... was it Qi Xia?

No, it was Bai Yang.

And Bai Yang was just a part of Qi Xia.
