Chapter 485 Desperate Situation
The movement on the lava lake shore quickly spread to the interior of the lava ash layer.

The light at the core of the array flickered due to the violent earthquake. The projection of Eternal Night was also real and illusory in this turbulence, sometimes clear and condensed, and sometimes blurred and disintegrated...

"Such a reckless attack strategy... Is Ji Ming going to perish together with this Nyiragongo Mountain?"

Yongye Chongming's tone was no longer relaxed but alert.

"What Ji Ming does is his business. I have my own purpose." One of Jiang Qian's clones quickly turned into an electric snake, dodging a series of attacks released by several remaining magic arrays.

"Oh? The two generals who attacked the core of the formation actually had different purposes?" Yongye Chongming was still very interested in his former subordinates.

"It doesn't matter. You are not far from failure anyway." Jiang Qian responded.

Although they seem to be chatting and laughing, in fact, the current confrontation between the two sides has already reached the point where "the flowers are so numerous that they are dazzling". A slight mistake may destroy the slight advantage held by each side.

The other side of the fierce confrontation between the two.

The chains that bound Jiang Yang had begun to loosen slightly.

At this moment, the miniature fountain pen was held in Jiang Yang's palm. Its tip, soaked in the strange pollution source, was tirelessly grinding the chain passing through his wrist, continuously weakening the effect of the prop.

There was another sudden and violent earthquake.

The destructive force this time is still reckless, and the turmoil it causes is enough to collapse the entire lava ash layer!
As a result, Yongye Chongming had to quickly turn his spearhead around and use the power of the remaining magic array to stabilize the structure inside the cave so that it would not collapse and be destroyed before the ascension ceremony was over.

Jiang Qian also took the opportunity to gather his clones, and before Yongye Chongming could react and defend himself, he struck straight at Huanglong with unstoppable force - attacking the core of the ascension ceremony!

"……you?"

It was too late for Yongye Chongming to defend.

The surrounding magic array that had been withdrawn was now supporting the crumbling cave structure and was unable to do anything else.

Of course, even if Yongye Chongming could turn the spearhead back in time, she would be surprised to find that the "functions" of some of the remaining magic arrays had been changed...

Jiang Qian not only tried to destroy the surrounding magic array, he also did other things, such as: "changing the appearance" of the surrounding magic arrays at several key locations and using them for his own purposes, that is: through the assistance of magnetism, feeding the strange living creatures to achieve the most direct control.

"Sorry, I have to hand in my homework first."

Jiang Qian had already approached the center of the Ascension Ceremony, facing Yong Ye Chong Ming's eyes directly. Then, he dropped the "Wordless Book" that he had prepared in advance to break the formation into the center of the formation!
The Wordless Book is an important divine tool recently acquired by the Ten Orderly Clans. It is specially used to decipher large-scale, complex and difficult ritual arrays. Its power lies in that the user only needs to write the complete reality of the array into it, and the "Book" will automatically generate a solution to interrupt the ceremony, without the need for formal operations such as sacrifices.

This is almost equivalent to a restraint tailor-made for the Ash Ascension Ritual.

However, when Jiang Qian accurately threw the "Wordless Book" into the core of the formation, the formation was broken and the whole game was lost, but the situation did not happen.

At this time, Jiang Qian had already distanced himself again, folded his wings, and focused on the changes in the core of the formation.

As the lava ash layer was turbulent inside and outside, the core array of the Ascension Ceremony was still running, but the Wordless Heavenly Book had disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea...

"How could this be?" Jiang Qian's eyes focused. What he was sure of was that the core of the formation was not affected by any effective external force at the moment.

“……”Even Yongye Chongming on the opposite side seemed a little surprised.

At this time, a hurricane howled at the exit of the cave, and a familiar voice came in an instant - "Use Thunder Waterfall to offset the destructive power of the collapse of the array center!"

Jiang Qian looked in the direction of the voice.

Ji Ming appeared in mid-air, holding a long-handled axe in his left hand and supporting a black robe and the body inside it with his right hand. His face was divided by the bridge of his nose. The left half was hideous and twisted, like a mad beast, while the right half barely maintained its composure:

"Nyiragongo's 'fire' is about to get out of control. Go all out to finish it, or all your efforts will be wasted!"

"No! The center of the formation is not here!"

The one who spoke this time was Yongye Chongming!
Ji Ming and Jiang Qian were both stunned at the same time. The former was because he had never seen the Wordless Heavenly Book disappear after being thrown into the center of the formation, while the latter was suddenly enlightened to some extent.

No one interrupted, but Wen Yongye Chongming continued:

"The center of the formation is not here, and the true body of Destruction is not here either. Mount Nyiragongo is a cage specially set up to bury our generals. The mission has failed, and you still have time to withdraw now!"

Is that so... Jiang Qian turned his head to look at Ji Ming, then looked at the gorgeous double pupils of Yong Ye Chong Ming who was floating in the air, and seemed to understand the purpose of the other party's performance.

In order to gain control of more key intelligence about the Ashes Organization and ensure that the Ascension Ceremony is under official control, Yongye Chongming does not hesitate to join the game himself, maneuvering between Order and Ashes as a "double agent". As far as this operation is concerned, not only is the intelligence about the core array of the Ascension Ceremony doubly insured, Yongye Chongming can also provide more convenient assistance to Order during the Ascension Ceremony.

If we go back a step further, this incident should have happened after the death of Bacchus.

At that time, Yongye Chongming was the person in charge of investigating the matter. It was reasonable for the two sides to have some contact and conflict. However, in order to gain the trust of the Ashes, or at least reach an effective consensus in some aspects, it was not a simple matter of collusion. One can imagine the huge amount of planning and preparation involved.

However, the top leaders of the Ashes Organization were not stupid and could be deceived. They seemed to always be wary of this priest who turned against their allies in the middle of a battle. Therefore, the Eternal Night that appeared at the core of the formation was nothing more than a floating shadow in the air. Their involvement was limited, and their chances of contributing their strength at the critical moment were greatly reduced.

With the above premise, the reactions of Ji Ming and Yong Ye Chong Ming seem much more reasonable.

After all, as the commander of the operation, Ji Ming should have been well aware of the matter; and the reason why he kept this matter secret from Jiang Qian was to avoid complications - of course, the fewer people who know about this high-level secret, the better.

……

It seems that a lot of new things have happened in this year... In just a short moment, Jiang Qian's expression became clear.

The current situation is very simple: Yongye Chongming's identity has never been trusted from the beginning, the position of the core array eye is anchored incorrectly, the mission has failed, and the ascension ceremony is unstoppable...

Therefore, for him and Ji Ming, the only solution now is to leave alive!

"Humph, it's too late!"

A deep and loud shout came from the "core of the formation".

Next came a thick claw, tightly grasping the wordless book that had been thrown into the center of the formation and disappeared!

Ji Ming and Yong Ye Chong Ming's eyes widened at the shout. Although they had not seen the person, they both recognized the owner of the claw and the voice.

"Qiongqi?!"

Qiongqi? Qiongqi... Jiang Qian immediately realized that the owner of the "Qiongqi" identity card was the leader of the Black Alliance who was confirmed dead a year ago.
The villain who was said to have survived the "Whisper of the Heart" dungeon had been confirmed dead by official intelligence personnel, and was murdered during Ashes' annexation operation against the Black Alliance...

But the reality is, "Qiongqi" is not dead?
Not only did he not die, he also turned against his enemy Huijin? !
Jiang Qian had no time to ponder why the leader of the Black Alliance was willing to commit himself to his enemy, the Ashes Organization, or what the other party's intention was in "faking his death" that year, as the battle situation before him had undergone a subversive change.

Ji Ming, who was about to take action, suddenly stopped in mid-air. The veins on the left side of his rather ferocious body suddenly bulged uncontrollably, and a lamprey mouth licked open from his chest...

"Jiming... Hahaha, do you still remember the feeling of being unable to control yourself?" The sound of destruction came from the strange round suction cup.

At the same time, Jiang Qian, who was standing near the core of the formation, felt his feet go soft. The lava ash layer he was standing on sank from below, and an invisible strong suction force pulled him into the scorching "abyss"!
"Don't use the hidden dragon!" Yongye Chongming's anxious voice sounded immediately.

This was the first time Jiang Qian had heard the other party's tone so out of control in the one year since he joined the task force. It showed how serious the current situation was.

Jiang Qian maintained his falling posture, moving with the flow, and landed smoothly in an even more extreme high temperature and oxygen-deficient environment.

This is the lava ash layer that is closer to the magma torrent. The surrounding area is in a soft texture surrounded by high temperature, as if it could be submerged by magma at any time...

The invisible armor could no longer withstand the erosion of such high temperature, so Jiang Qian took out the deep sea black ice bead that he had recently obtained from the "Sea of ​​Samsara" and put it in his mouth. This item can offset the damage caused by the natural force of fire within a radius of ten meters.

"I heard that you are... the one who passed through "Whisper of the Inner Devil" unscathed?" The deep voice just now came from all directions.

"Ah, it's me." Jiang Qian's vision opened wide and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He knew that the person who was speaking was the villain boss whom he had never met before, the former leader of the Black Alliance, and the holder of the "Qiongqi" card.

Let’s just believe that he is the former leader of the Black Alliance himself... Jiang Qian actively retrieved information about the other party from his mind while being alert to his surroundings.

"It's incredible, it's you, kid..."

The other party made a strange exclamation:

"Back then, I also learned a lesson from the Whisper of the Inner Devil. If I hadn't dug out my eyes immediately, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to be here with you now."

"Dig out your eyes as a sacrifice... then your 'inner demon' must be very serious, right?" Jiang Qian couldn't help but think of what he experienced when he cleared the "Whisper of the Inner Demon" dungeon.

There are indeed some opportunities to reduce the difficulty and survive in "Whispers of the Inner Demon", but the price is quite painful, and the sacrifices are the body parts of the person who passes the level... Jiang Qian also faced a similar choice at the time, but he was lucky enough to figure out the way to pass the level before he took the initiative to sacrifice.

In addition to him and the Dragon God of that year, there were two other people who had survived the "Whisper of the Inner Demon" copy.

These two are both top bosses in the evil organization: one is the leader of the Black Alliance in the north, "Qiongqi", who lost his eyes in this "newcomer hell"...

Another person who was also present today was the Lord of Destruction, one of the Four Lords of Ashes! Compared to the leader of the Black Alliance, he lost more, his hands and feet.

Perhaps it is precisely because of such a cruel "loss" that it has further encouraged his perverted side. He parasitizes others and wanders in the territory he can never reach. At the same time, he easily deprives others of their lives, constantly comforting the indelible fear left by the "whisper of the inner demon"...

In short, compared to Jiang Qian who completely "passed the test", these two bosses of the evil organization were once captives of "Whisper of the Inner Devil" and were losers who escaped in embarrassment.

"Haha, yes, yes..."

After hearing Jiang Qian's words, the other party was not too excited, but calmly agreed:

"That's exactly what I'm curious about! Apart from that person, there are other people who can walk out of that place unscathed. I really want to know what kind of ability you have."

"So you've provided a space for a private conversation?" Jiang Qian couldn't help but sneer, "Senior, you should have evolved to the sixth stage of conceptual body many years ago, right?"

The implication is to make fun of the other party for not observing martial ethics.

But who is the leader of the Black Alliance, Qiongqi? How could he be bound by such a gentleman's question!
He laughed and replied, "You were the one who killed the missing new priest in the Divine Realm, the giant dragon Kul, right? What rules do I need to follow for a guy like you who can't even defeat the 'Inner Demon'?"

Jiang Qian thought about it and said, "That's true."

Without further ado, a thunderstorm was brewing and filling the surrounding scorching hot space.

"Powerful natural forces..."

Amid the other party's sighs, Jiang Qian quietly transformed into a flash of lightning. Then, the brewing thunderstorm swept through the entire red cave like a burned-out fuse!
Outside, Nyiragongo screamed in agony.

In the narrow space of the inner battlefield, a noise like the cry of a flock of birds echoed.

Obviously, Jiang Qian's target is not targeted, but a large-scale coverage attack, which will allow the strange living creatures hidden in the electric snakes to fill the entire current space and search for clues of the opponent in great detail.

The troubles ahead are by no means easy to deal with, we must first blast our opponents out of the shadows and onto the surface!

From Jiang Qian's perspective, his team had been disbanded, Ji Ming's condition was visibly bad, the useless Jiang Yang was still alive, and as for the eternal night's return to light, all assumptions had not yet been confirmed...

The situation is extremely unfavorable to our side.

If he could escape in time, Jiang Qian would not continue fighting.

The outcome is unpredictable, and the lawful mission failed for many reasons that must be acknowledged.

But the problem now is that he can't leave!
Now that this old Yinpi who had “come back from the dead” was clearly going to get involved with him, what could he do?
In the large and small encounters over the past year, Jiang Qian has become accustomed to clearing all obstacles or integrating the opponent's strength into his own.

Fighting "Qiongqi" with all his strength became his top priority.

However, it was during this noisy and chaotic thunderstorm that Jiang Qian received another reminder from the "Sky Eye" communication network.

Yongye Chongming's voice had regained its rationality and restraint. With an inherent sense of alienation, he firmly reported the location of the true core of the Ashes Ascension Ceremony:

"Found it! The core of the formation is mobile, hidden in the lava lake deeper in Nyiragongo. Someone needs to dive into the lava lake to a depth of 147 meters and use the 'Wordless Book' to end the formation... We can still fight!"
