Buzz!

In an instant, a dazzling light ring lit up on top of the fortress, blocking all the incoming Spiritual Qi cannons.

Swoosh!

At the same time, in the high sky, a supremely bright pillar of light suddenly rose.

In just a moment, it evaporated seven or eight warships positioned at the forefront into nothingness.

In the distance.

Xiao Shencong, along with Xiao Shenji, Wu Xin, and others who witnessed this scene, couldn’t help but have a slight change in their expressions.

“If I’m not mistaken, that should be the Level 6 Reversed Starfall Array. A super-large array that combines defense and offense,” Wu Xint suddenly spoke slowly.

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Shencong, Xiao Shenji, and Daoist Shang Tong all had slightly serious expressions.

They were well aware that the so-called Reversed Starfall Array was a threat even for them, the Soul Formation Heavenly Lords.

If things went wrong, it was very likely that they would suffer a loss or even be severely injured.

So.

To break this array, aside from the need for a corresponding Level 6 array master, the most reliable method would be sacrificing lives to deplete the array’s power.

They believed that maintaining such a large array must consume astronomical resources.

It all came down to who could endure longer in the end.

Therefore, in the following period of time.

On their side, Xiao Shencong and his team continuously dispatched numerous warships and cultivators to attack the Reserved Starfall Array. Some Nascent Soul cultivators even became cannon fodder in this war.

As for the Violet Palace and Golden Core cultivators, the number was even greater.

It could be said that right from the beginning, Xiao Shencong and his team pushed this war into an extremely intense situation.

On the fortress.

Shui Xianlan, Su Qingchan, Perfected Lord Wind Cloud, Sword Lord Azure Blue, and others watched the many warships and cultivators charging towards them as if in a suicidal manner, their expressions becoming extremely serious.

“What are those people up to? Even Nascent Souls are being used to wear down the array. Are they crazy?”

“They’re not crazy.”

Su Qingchan suddenly shook her head.

With a heavy expression, she continued, “Have you not noticed? The cultivators being sacrificed are not from their Eastern End and Central Plain!”

“Huh?”

Prompted by Su Qingchan’s reminder, everyone present also realized it.

“Indeed.

Those people seem to be cultivators from the Southern Wilderness who were captured by them.

They seem to be under some kind of restriction, even Nascent Soul Perfected Lords can’t control themselves.”

Shui Xianlan spoke with an ugly expression.

This was something they hadn’t anticipated at the beginning of the war.

The Eastern End and Central Plain were actually using Southern Wilderness cultivators they had captured as the first cannon fodder in this battle. Moreover, they employed such cruel methods.

Needless to say, the means to control even Nascent Soul Perfected Lords were undoubtedly the work of some Soul Formation Heavenly Lords.

“Is there any way to break their control?

After all, what they are consuming now is just a group of captives that are insignificant in their eyes.

For the Eastern End and Central Plain, they haven’t expended much power.

Meanwhile, we are truly consuming our resources.”

“Difficult.”

Perfected Lord Wind Cloud said in a deep voice.

“Because that is a control method at the Soul Formation level. With our abilities, attempting to break it is akin to an ant challenging a tree.

Moreover, up to this point, we still don’t know what method they are using exactly, so how can we talk about breaking it?”

Upon hearing Perfected Lord Wind Cloud’s words, Jiang Anran, who was at the side, suddenly spoke.

“I might have someone who knows about their method.”

“Huh?”

Everyone looked at her with surprise.

Su Qingchan smiled and said, “Anran, you know?”

Jiang Anran replied, “It’s not that I know, but someone on my side might know. If you don’t mind, I can bring them over. Also, my Shifu is also aware of this matter.”

Shui Xianlan said, “Since both Senior Jiang and Senior Shen are aware of this matter, then there should be no problem. Anran, bring them over. I have no objections.”

“I have no problem either.”

Su Qingchan also smiled in agreement.

Perfected Lord Wind Cloud and Sword Lord Azure Blue nodded seriously.

And so.

In no time, two cultivators with auras that were almost on par with everyone present were brought over by Jiang Anran.

The two of them were none other than Wu Bingyun and Perfected Lord Nether Star, who had escaped from the Southern Wilderness earlier on.

Seeing the two of them, Shui Xianlan, Su Qingchan, and the rest could not help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

Because they could sense that, in terms of cultivation alone, these two individuals were not much weaker than them.

Especially Perfected Lord Nether Star.

His cultivation was comparable to several people present, reaching the ninth level of Nascent Soul.

At this moment, Jiang Anran spoke to the two of them,

“Fellow Daoist Wu, and Fellow Daoist Nether Star, I’ll have to trouble you to tell us what exactly happened.”

For a moment, everyone’s attention focused on Wu Bingyun and Perfected Lord Nether Star.

Wu Bingyun and Perfected Lord Nether Star exchanged a glance.

Then Perfected Lord Nether Star spoke, “Fellow Daoists, regarding our identities, you probably already know.

Yes, we are from the Southern Wilderness.

My Shifu is the Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss.

Although Fellow Daoist Wu here is not a disciple of my Supreme Celestial Sect, the Ice Jade Palace where she belongs was once a subordinate sect of mine.

So.

We have some understanding of the current situation.

To be frank, they should be under the control of a kind of Gu called

Mind-Control Gu.”

“Mind-Control Gu?”

When they heard that name, the pupils of Shui Xianlan, Su Qingchan, Perfected Lord Wind Cloud, Sword Lord Azure Blue and the others constricted slightly.

Clearly.

As disciples of the Soul Formation Sect, their knowledge was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.

They were quite familiar with the Mind-Control Gu mentioned by Perfected Lord Nether Star.

It was a peculiar Gu that could control the soul and spirit of a cultivator.

It even ranked thirty-second among the most bizarre insects of the world.

“If it’s Mind-Control Gu, then everything makes sense.”

Sword Lord Azure Blue frowned.

“As far as I know, this kind of insect can multiply in large numbers.

It can control cultivators from the Qi Refinement to the Nascent Soul, and cultivators themselves are powerless to resist.

But what I don’t understand is, wasn’t this type of Gu supposed to have become extinct a long time ago?

Even the methods to refine such insects seem to have been lost.

How did the Eastern End and Central Plain obtain these kinds of Gu?”

This was indeed a big mystery.

After all, the effects of such insects were too bizarre.

With a slight oversight, even they themselves could potentially fall victim to them.

If the Eastern End and Central Plain truly possessed the refinement methods for these Gu, it would be extremely bad news for the Western Desert and Northern Border.

“I happen to know a thing or two about this matter.”

At that moment, Perfected Lord Nether Star spoke again.

“Surely you’ve heard of the Sect of Divine Artifacts in the Southern Wilderness, haven’t you?”

“Sect of Divine Artifacts

Hearing this name, Shui Xianlan, Su Qingchan, and the others nodded their heads.

They were naturally aware of this sect.

It was once a famous sect specializing in artifact refinement.

Although it didn’t have a Soul Formation Heavenly Lord presiding over it, it possessed several Level 6 Pure Yang treasures.

Moreover, the treasures and artifacts they refined were all considered top-notch, highly sought after by many cultivators.

There were even many cultivators from other regions who had traveled a long way to the Southern Wilderness, seeking the help of their master artifact refiners.

However, this renowned sect was jointly annihilated by cultivators from the Eastern End and Central Plain during the Southern Wilderness upheaval.

As that information flashed through his mind, Perfected Lord Nether Star said again,

“As far as I know, within that sect, there is the secret method for refining the Mind-Control Gu.

They came across it by chance and originally intended to trade the method for refining the Mind-Control Gu with my Shifu.

Unfortunately, before the deal was sealed, the people from the Eastern and Central Plain unilaterally broke the agreement and launched an attack on various sects in the Southern Wilderness.

Now, it seems that the Mind-Control Gu has fallen into their hands.”

“I see.”

After hearing Perfected Lord Nether Star’s words, everyone present could not help but come to a realization.

But soon, they furrowed their brows again.

Perfected Lord Wind Cloud said, “Although we now know the method they used to control those Southern Wilderness cultivators, we still have no clue on how to break it. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Nether Star and Wu have any suggestions?”

He knew that Jiang Anran brought them here for the purpose of solving the current problem.

So.

At the moment he finished speaking, the gaze of everyone present focused on the two individuals.

At this moment, Wu Bingyun took a deep breath and looked at everyone present.

“To be honest, although the Mind-Control Gu is powerful and can control the soul and spirit of cultivators, it also has its natural enemies.

As far as I know, the greatest natural enemy of the Mind-Control Gu is the Silent Golden Cicada, which ranks fifteenth on the list of bizarre insects in the world.”

“Huh?”

Hearing Wu Bingyun’s words, Shui Xianlan, Su Qingchan, and the rest were stunned.

Clearly.

They were not aware of what Wu Bingyun was talking about.

Wu Bingyun continued, “Although the Silent Golden Cicada is silent, it emits a special frequency specifically targeting Mind-Control Gu.

As long as the Mind-Control Gu is affected by this special frequency, they will lose all their mobility in an instant, naturally unable to control the cultivators they were controlling.

Coincidentally, the previous Palace Master of the Ice Jade Palace nurtured such a Silent Golden Cicada.”

As she spoke, Wu Bingyun flipped her jade hand, revealing a golden cicada with black patterns on its wings..
