Chapter 1159: You really showed up

At this moment, everyone's focus was on the teleportation array.

From the outside, everything looked normal. The formation was still the same and there was no sign of the criminal official or the fourth True Lord.

This place was isolated by the fourth True Lord's unique array and space-time ripples.

Even if there were still people who could sense it, the Fourth True Lord had already informed those who were qualified to sense the abnormality of this place before he arrived. This was to ensure that he was safe.

Therefore, the calmness seen by the outside world was all an illusion. If someone were to step into this area at this moment, the first thing they would hear was the thunderous sound of order.

Above the array, the Fourth True Lord's figure was imposing and majestic. Wherever his gaze landed, it seemed that all deviations had to return to their original trajectory.

The sound it emitted even took physical form, turning into runes that shone with silver light. They lined up around it and formed a vast formation in an instant.

The silver light shone brightly, illuminating the entire place.

It was like daytime.

This was … the formation of Dao sounds!

As the spell formation rotated, light shone out, and the voice of the Fourth True Lord exploded out, suppressing everything, reversing all of the pressure and majesty.

Like the sea of the sky, it could destroy all the earth.

He headed straight for … the middle-aged officer.

The unstoppable pressure and aura that could topple mountains and overturn seas caused the middle-aged officer to feel as if he was a lone boat in a raging sea, swaying unsteadily in the midst of a tsunami.

However, his eyes did not reveal the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, his fighting spirit grew stronger and the aura of the giant broken sword behind him became even sharper.

The moment the vast silver array landed, the veins on his face bulged and formed a ghostly face. It looked ferocious, strange, and extremely sinister.

He raised his hand and placed it down towards the descending formation.

In the blink of an eye, the supreme broken sword on the middle-aged officer's back let out a world-shaking sword hum. Streams of light could be seen flowing rapidly in the places where it was damaged, as if they were replenishing it.

In the blink of an eye, it was completed. Following the hand of the criminal official, it slashed down toward the Heavenly Formation that represented order.

The formation and the broken sword instantly collided in the air.

A deafening rumbling sound reverberated in the air.

Although the Order Formation was strong, the broken sword was even more ferocious. It was like a madman outside the law. No matter how the Order Formation tried to envelop it, it would break through the heavens with a single slash!

Amidst the rumbling, the array shattered and turned into countless fragments that swept backwards.

As for the criminal official, his entire body trembled, and he coughed out a large mouthful of blood. His body had clearly become much weaker, as if his life and even his soul had been sucked away by the broken sword.

This was the price of activating the broken sword.

But at this moment, he obviously couldn't care less about that. Taking advantage of the moment when the sword broke the formation, he suddenly charged forward and finally approached the edge of the formation.

Just as he was about to step on it.

But that was not all the fourth True Lord had.

Just now, he was just casually spitting out some words.

At this moment, the Fourth True Lord's expression was calm as he waved his right hand.

With a wave of his hand, the chains in all directions were like silver snakes. They howled and intertwined with each other, forming an even more majestic Spirit Formation.

Whether it was the aura, momentum, pressure, resplendence, or complexity, they all far surpassed the former.

This was the order of the chain.

As soon as he appeared, he headed straight for the crime officer.

The officer's expression changed.

Although he had never fought Xing Huanzi before, he knew that Xing Huanzi was strong. After all, he was the number one genius of this generation in the Eastern Starfield.

However, being powerful to such an extent caused his heart to involuntarily churn.

But now, there was no other way.

There was a ferocious glint in the officer's eyes. His expression was twisted, and the veins on his face popped up, forming a ghostly face that completely replaced his facial features. It was as if he had become a completely different person, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

As the Rune fell, the executioner lifted his hands and grabbed the broken sword on his back. With all his strength, he allowed the broken sword to absorb his life force and slashed at the Rune again.

The sky darkened.

The aura of the broken sword could be said to be at the pinnacle. The moment it collided with the array, the two sides actually entered a temporary stalemate.

But soon, the tip of the sword flashed and pierced through the formation.

But … it was only the tip of the sword.

It wasn't that the broken sword was at a disadvantage, but rather that the sword wielding cultivator couldn't hold on any longer. Blood sprayed out of his mouth as his body rapidly withered away.

As for the Fourth True Lord behind the array formation, he remained calm the entire time.

At this moment, he coldly looked at the criminal official outside the formation. He raised his hand and a majestic force exploded from the formation.

The officer's body trembled and he was sent flying by the force. He fell to the ground with blood flowing out of his seven orifices.

The broken sword in his hand flew out of his hand uncontrollably and stabbed into the ground. It seemed to be filled with regret.

Everything was over.

"To be able to fight against Zhou Zhengli for so many years with such combat strength, it seems that Zhou Zhengli's ability to conceal his strength has been practiced to perfection."

His gaze landed on the criminal official on the ground. He raised his right hand and waved it through the air. No matter how the criminal official struggled, it was useless. His body was lifted into the air by the force.

At the same time, chains of order came from all directions, completely entangling him.

His voice also transformed into Constitutional Texts that flowed throughout his body, forming imprints one after another.

"Since you're not being honest, I'll just strip your consciousness from this world and send you back."

The Fourth True Lord said calmly, and the Constitution of Order exploded.

His Constitution was special. After he came to the fourth level, who knew if it was because he was a reward from the Order Faction or because the host had the same origin as his Constitution?

It gave him the power of destruction!

Using the Constitution of Order to shatter the opponent's consciousness.

At this moment, under the eruption, it was like a purification.

Immediately, the body of the middle-aged criminal official, who was bound in midair, trembled violently, and a mournful howl escaped his mouth.

The Constitution of Order flowed within his body, rapidly destroying all traces of Xie Lingzi.

This process didn't take long. In the next instant …

The purification was complete, and his consciousness shattered.

The middle-aged officer breathed his last, and his body crashed to the ground.

The iron sword at the side also disappeared at this moment.

This scene caused Xing Huanzi's expression, which had remained unchanged all this time, to change.

"My order does not kill the will of others. Normally speaking, when Xie Lingzi's consciousness is driven away and destroyed, this person would return to normal. But this person … actually died?"

Xing Huanzi was silent. Then he raised his head and looked into the distance. His eyes were cold.

"There's only one explanation."

"This person is Xie Lingzi, and also not Xie Lingzi!"

"To be precise, this is a person who thinks he is Xie Lingzi. This cognition is already deeply rooted, and the iron sword in his body is real, so it confuses sight and hearing.

“

"And until his death, he still believed that he was Xie Lingzi, so after he was driven away, 'Xie Lingzi' died, and so did he.

“

"Because the traces of the dispelled Xie Lingzi included him!"

"The real Xie Lingzi is still here!"

The fourth True Lord's face darkened.

There were many people playing chess.

Just like in a pond, it was impossible for only one person to fish.

On this chessboard, Xu Qing was playing chess, the Fourth True Lord was playing chess, and others were also playing chess.

At their level of cultivation, it was unlikely that there would be people who were simple-minded. Even if there were, they would use this as a protective layer.

It was just on the surface.

......

If anyone really believed it, they wouldn't be far from death.

But whether it was a conspiracy or an open one, whether it was playing chess or fishing, there were ways to deal with it.

A dim light flashed in Xing Huanzi's eyes.

Although none of them were simple, he could still suppress them.

Even if there was a mistake, he had the ability to rectify it.

Thus, he raised his hand and grabbed in the direction where the iron sword had disappeared.

Suddenly, an aura that was different from the [Order] quickly flew over from there.

This was the remnant sword's aura, and through this aura, he could instantly lock onto the location of the remnant sword's owner and find the real Xie Lingzi.

However, this aura did not last for long and was still dissipating.

"There's enough time. I'll just kill him again!"

The killing intent in the Fourth True Lord's eyes surged. He was about to head to the place that was pointed out when something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, the sky changed color.

In the space where the teleportation array was located, a storm appeared in the sky. Sand appeared out of nowhere on the ground and intertwined with the storm, forming … a sandstorm.

He instantly closed in and stopped the Fourth True Lord from leaving.

A thunderous rumble echoed and the Fourth True Lord stopped. He floated in the air as his long hair and clothes fluttered in the wind. His eyes revealed a fierce gaze.

What he saw was a figure walking out from the vast sandstorm that filled the entire space.

This person was dressed in a black robe, and his face was obscured. One could only tell from his figure that he was a man.

However, everything could be faked. Appearances could not prove anything.

"You really did appear."

Looking at that person and sensing that unfamiliar aura, the Fourth True Lord's eyes flashed and he spoke slowly.

He originally had two objectives for this round. One was to suppress Xie Lingzi and set things right. The other … was to fish out the person behind the scenes who spread the rumors.

Since the other party was targeting him, then there was a high chance that their Daos were different and they weren't from the Order Faction. If that was the case … if Xie Lingzi didn't come, then he would have successfully turned the tables.

If they did … they would reveal their traces, and he would be able to lock onto them and verify their identity.

This was originally a dilemma for the other party.

It was just that although the other party had appeared at this moment, the timing was a little inappropriate. It was precisely when he needed to look for Xie Lingzi.

Thus, the Fourth True Lord's eyes flashed and he was about to leave this place. He had to suppress Xie Lingzi first.

After all, the remnant sword's aura was currently dissipating. Most importantly, Xie Lingzi was clearly also fishing, using that fake body to fish him.

Thus, he obtained an opportunity to rebel against the Imperial Palace that he could not immediately rectify.

Therefore, there was no time to waste.

Although the Fourth True Lord didn't want to fight, the black-robed man in the air couldn't do as he wished.

The moment the Fourth True Lord moved, the black-robed man waved his hand. Instantly, a thunderous rumble came from the sandstorm in the sky, and a pair of giant eyes appeared from within.

That pair of eyes was grey.

The moment he looked at the Fourth True Lord coldly and mercilessly …

The Fourth True Lord's body stiffened. He could clearly feel that the moment he was stared at, his body was unaffected, but his consciousness felt as if it was being separated, as if it was about to turn into countless grains of sand.

Within each and every one of them, an independent will was emerging.

"Interesting …"

The Fourth True Lord's eyes lit up and he pressed his right hand forward. Suddenly, chains flew out and formed a vortex in front of him. Then, 13 silver coffins flew out from the vortex.

The thirteen coffins varied in size, and as soon as they appeared, a strong aura of order burst out from them.

However, he did not open it.

Even though Xing Huanzi had taken over the Fourth True Lord's body, his consciousness was still insufficient.

This was the work of the real Fourth True Lord!

......

I'll go and write the second chapter. There's more tonight!
