"What did he do?"
Tang Language reacted, pointing at the scene on the ground, full of disbelief: "This isn’t right! How did everyone suddenly stop fighting? How did Shu Li get punched and sent flying? How did Yin Heng run away? How did Sang Chao get beaten like a dog?!"
"There’s sothing wrong with this! What exactly happened?!"
There was no sound.
For the people outside, what just happened in the Monkey Anomaly Realm was completely illogical!
Chen Lu Si threw the Stone out like a firework and then everyone inexplicably stopped fighting.
Then Chen Lu Si hit each one with a punch, directly knocking down the theoretically highest combat powers of the Monkey Anomaly Realm.
In an instant.
The conflict in the Monkey Anomaly Realm seed to be resolved.
But how did he do it? What exactly happened?... How could a bleeding one hold two deputy-level people down and beat them! He even scared away a senior Self mber!
"..."
Yu Zhou and Mount Tai remained in shock, saying nothing.
Because they didn’t know either.
But one thing was certain, and that was—
The situation in the Monkey Anomaly Realm beca instantly clear.
... just because of a bleeding one?
They looked again at the figures reflected on the screen.
On the other side.
Li Ge, who no one was paying attention to at the mont, was also watching the screen, even more shocked.
He wanted to ask more than anyone else—
Why?
He knew Sang Chao better than anyone present... but now Sang Chao was being manipulated like a dog.
And even when the Stone rolled away.
No one dared to move an inch.
He couldn’t understand.
Why?
He’s not Xia...
Suddenly.
Li Ge thought of sothing and slowly turned stiffly, looking at Xia Yue, who was bowing his head.
Nearly ten years ago, he had asked the sa question.
Back then, Xia Yue was the sa... gifted, unreasonable, despair-inducing.
And yet that Chen Lu Si... also knew ’Fury’ and ’First Line’.
Thinking of this.
Li Ge’s face twitched, and as he noticed the current situation, rembered the recent events and his own comnts,
his face twitched even more sharply.
It couldn’t be stopped at all.
Until.
"... Sothing’s off."
Tang Language spoke again.
But this ti it wasn’t about Chen Lu Si, but about the Stone that rolled away.
At the sa ti.
Before she could remind others about the Stone.
A macaque’s scream suddenly rang out.
Heart-wrenching.
Imdiately after.
The surrounding mountains began to tremble again, causing those present to turn their heads abruptly, eyes wide.
At the position of the macaque.
A phantom of a white-headed, blue-bodied macaque appeared, overshadowing the sun and sky.
The spirits absorbed by the Monkey Anomaly Realm last night instantly surged out, brewing like a storm.
Frenzied and chaotic.
They even ford ’spirit waves’, flapping the clothes of those at the observation station.
This ti it wasn’t Mount Tai’s Authority.
The entire Monkey Anomaly Realm had an issue.
"Wait! Could it be... self-detonation!?" Tang Language looked at the brewing storm not far away, then looked down at the scene in the Monkey Anomaly Realm, shouting incredulously.
Mount Tai’s face changed dramatically.
...
At the sa ti.
Inside the Monkey Anomaly Realm.
Chen Lu Si released Sang Chao’s hair, tossed him to the ground, and looked at everyone.
"Weren’t you trying to steal?"
Chen Lu Si’s gaze shifted, glancing at the Stone rolling to the center of the battlefield, then made a gesture of invitation: "Please continue."
No one moved.
Even if soone had second thoughts.
But upon recalling the scene of ineffective Techniques, they dismissed the idea imdiately.
At this mont.
Crack—
The Stone on the ground, akin to a miracle, suddenly emitted a sound like shattering glass.
And it wasn’t just one sound, but a continuous, dense series of noises.
In a short while.
The originally pristine Stone was covered with fine cracks, resembling porcelain about to break.
At the sa ti.
A terrifying fluctuation spread out.
Every Empowerer at that mont felt a sense of dread.
As if this thing had the power to destroy everything.
... an explosion?
Instantly.
Everyone recalled Chen Lu Si’s initial warning, thinking of the word.
Then.
Everyone stepped back, revealing expressions of panic.
If earlier they thought Chen Lu Si’s words were re alarmism.
Now, with the Stone shattering before their eyes, emanating a destructive aura.
Seeing it with their own eyes, personally fearing for their safety.
... the situation was different.
"It’s really going to self-detonate!!!"
Soone’s voice shouted.
Imdiately after.
Many people turned and ran.
Followers of the Self, Sang Chao’s people, and so groups Chen Lu Si didn’t recognize.
The Great Demon Stone, once coveted like a treasure, instantly beca a feared calamity.
They wished they had more than two legs to run.
Techniques flew chaotically again.
Just now it was for seizing the Stone; now, it was to get away from the Stone.
A large group of people scattered like birds and beasts.
Chen Lu Si watched them, silently.
In the end.
Only a small group remained.
"Idiots! If this thing really explodes! As long as you’re in the Monkey Anomaly Realm, it doesn’t matter where you hide; this is Anomaly Realm, a place of legend! Running is futile!"
In the distance.
Shu Li covered her lower face, which was still bleeding from the nose, and slowly stood up, shouting with determination.
But it didn’t have much effect.
Those who chose to stay remained, and those who chose to flee had already gone.
"Boss."
The few who stayed behind saw Shu Li rise and showed a look of surprise, calling to her.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Shu Li glanced at Chen Lusi, then quickly returned to the battlefield, arriving beside the stone that could only be described as miraculous, and directly said, "Give your stones. I’ll try to envelope them in water to minimize the explosion’s power as much as possible.
Damn, this is really ssed up. It’s really about to explode! The Monkey Anomaly Realm is fine; if it really dies, it would be in an instant, I’m more worried about the outside.
For all these years, the Monkey Anomaly Realm has been absorbing spirit like a whale; if it really explodes, the outside definitely wouldn’t be spared."
The other mbers realized and imdiately took out the stones they brought.
Jin Yi and others also arrived, looking grimly at the stone on the ground.
One thing after another, never ending.
Just resolved the brawl, now the Great Demon Stone is going to explode.
Shu Li took the stones handed over by her subordinates and was just about to lower her head to activate her authority.
A soft sound of footsteps erged.
Chen Lusi arrived in front of her, reaching out to pick up the miraculous stone.
"..."
Shu Li was montarily stunned and then asked, "...What do you want to do?"
Chen Lusi glanced at her, then turned to leave.
Jin Yi watched Chen Lusi’s back, realizing and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Shu Li imdiately turned her head: "!?"
Chen Lusi said nothing, holding the Great Demon Stone, which was more and more cracked and seed close to the explosion threshold, and returned to Sang Chao’s side.
Sang Chao had already sat up.
When he saw the Great Demon Stone full of cracks in Chen Lusi’s hands and felt the terrifying wave emanating from it.
His pupils shrank, then he braced his hands on the ground and moved backward.
"Isn’t this what you wanted?"
Chen Lusi noticed him, paused, and handed over the stone, saying calmly, "Catch."
"Get away from !"
Sang Chao moved backward again, his face a mix of anger and fear. He violently waved his hand to activate the technique and then turned to escape.
Dismantling.
Chen Lusi interrupted his technique and directly kicked him in the back.
Sang Chao stumbled, falling straight to the ground.
Before he could get up again.
His head experienced intense pressure.
Chen Lusi lifted his leg and stepped on Sang Chao’s head, then directly tossed the nearly exploding stone in front of his face: "It’s yours. You’re more fit to safeguard it."
"Get it away! Get it away!"
Sang Chao witnessed with his own eyes the miraculous stone cracking further in front of him, fear overtaking his face as he started struggling fiercely.
It’s really going to explode.
It’s about to explode!
But Chen Lusi firmly suppressed him,
"...Take it away! Take it away!! Are you insane? We’ll all die!! Take it away!! I’m begging you!! Let go!!!"
The shadow of death hung over them.
Sang Chao’s eyes widened more and more, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
Ultimately.
He actually began to plead with Chen Lusi.
"...So this is what a mber of the Celestial Strategy Mansion is like, how shaful."
Chen Lusi was silent for a mont, muttering to himself before slowly removing the leg pressing on Sang Chao’s head.
Sang Chao imdiately sighed in relief.
But in the next second... the shoe enlarged in his pupils.
Chen Lusi’s shoe sole was imprinted harshly on his face.
Enormous strength attacked.
Half of Sang Chao’s face sank into the dirt.
Chen Lusi bent over, picked up the shattered Great Demon Stone, and continued forward.
"...Does he really have a way?"
In the distance.
Shu Li saw this scene, a shiver ran through her, then she looked at Jin Yi and Wu Yuting: "Is this really not revenge?"
The two glanced at her without responding.
...Ti is running out.
And whether or not he has a way, it’s better than you trying.
Neither spoke these words aloud.
But Shu Li understood.
Shu Li: "..."
Chen Lusi, unaware of what was happening behind him, carrying the broken stone, moved toward the small mountain, resembling a steep cliff, to climb it.
He began to ascend.
As he walked, he pondered.
The aning of the Celestial Strategy Mansion... what is it after all?
But even as he reached the mountain’s summit, Chen Lusi still hadn’t figured it out.
And in his hand, the stone had even more cracks, seemingly reaching so critical point.
Chen Lusi looked toward the stone monunt standing at the mountain top.
On it, two words were carved, which seed to be ’Water Beast’.
"Are you here?"
Chen Lusi, holding the miraculous stone, looked at the monunt, thought for a mont, and spoke: "Sorry, I don’t want to die here ignominiously with these people, please stop."
"..."
No response ca.
Chen Lusi patiently waited for a while, found there was still no response, hesitated, and softly said: "It’s enough... your sins are forgiven."
"..."
Just as the words fell.
A small white-faced, green-bodied monkey appeared in front of the stone monunt carved with ’Water Beast.’
It stood on two feet, looking up at Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi looked at the monkey, a mont of silence, one hand holding the imminent exploding Great Demon Stone, the other extended, activating his authority.
Then, he looked at the ethereal thread atop the monkey’s head that carried all the monkey legends, softly saying: "Although I don’t know if it will work, I’ll just pretend this once."
Saying this.
Chen Lusi paused, slowly lifted his right hand, swung it forward, slashing at the fine line on the monkey’s head.
"...I absolve you of your sins."
Crash—
The blade sliced through.
The fine line snapped directly.
And at this mont, ti seed to freeze.
The wind stopped.
Shu Li and the others froze in place, motionless.
Even the falling leaves hovered in mid-air.
Chen Lusi surveyed everything around him, frozen, then looked at the monkey before the monunt.
But before he could see it clearly.
"...Thank you."
A rough voice sounded.
Imdiately, everything in Chen Lusi’s view began speeding backward into the distance.
