This was something Lu Chenxing hadn't expected. The two, who had seemed to disregard their lives earlier, suddenly dodged his Dispelling Technique!
Just as he was using his Wind Element to sense their positions, Bai Yuntian's figure appeared beside Lu Chenxing. He waved his hand, dispelling the mist, then looked at Lu Chenxing, his eyes filled with unreserved admiration.
"Alright, that's enough. If you keep hitting them, you'll kill them," Bai Yuntian said with a smile.
Lu Chenxing wasn't surprised by his appearance at all. "So, they were being controlled?"
"Yes, the one controlling them should be the Huan Yao Divine Envoy. Because the Phantom Demon was severely injured by the military's cross-world attack, the people it controlled have already returned to normal. If there are still people being controlled now, it can only be the Huan Yao Divine Envoy," Bai Yuntian explained.
But a new question arose in Lu Chenxing's mind at this moment, "These two controlled individuals are Tier 3. Is the Huan Yao Divine Envoy also a Tier 6 or 7 existence?"
"No, you're overthinking it," Bai Yuntian said with a slight chuckle. "If I recall correctly, the Huan Yao Divine Envoy should still be Tier 5. As for why she can control Tier 3 individuals with Tier 5 strength, there's only one possibility: she is currently in Loshen City."
At this moment, Lu Chenxing suddenly remembered what Bai Yuntian had said about the Phantom Demon earlier:
"Its Mirage Dragon bloodline is thin, and it usually controls across worlds, so the distance is too far. Therefore, it can't control too many people at once, nor can it control those who are too powerful. The impact it causes is still acceptable." (From Chapter 60)
He also understood that if the Phantom Demon and the controlled individuals were in the same world, it would probably be able to control more than just this many people. If calculated based on the current Huan Yao Divine Envoy, then the Phantom Demon's true form could probably control at least Tier 5 individuals!
"However, like the Phantom Demon, she is timid. She's probably hiding by now, so don't worry about her. The military will naturally go find her," Bai Yuntian said finally.
At this moment, the surrounding white mist dispersed, and the figures of the two individuals from earlier were revealed simultaneously. Appearing with them were a blood-red sacrificial magic circle on the ground, and blood-red beads placed at the five nodes of the formation.
"What kind of formation is this?" Lu Chenxing glanced at it, finding that he couldn't quite understand it.
"A sacrificial summoning formation. It can summon corresponding targets through specific items," Bai Yuntian explained again.
"Aren't you going to stop it?"
"No need. This is a great opportunity to weaken their strength!" Bai Yuntian's lips curved into a smile.
When the formation began to glow red and activate, Bai Yuntian said, "Alright, you can cast Dispelling Technique now. They won't dodge."
"Oh." Lu Chenxing scratched his head a bit, but still released the Dispelling Technique as told. Sure enough, the two individuals didn't dodge again. When the blue-gold energy wave exploded on them, they lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Bai Yuntian flicked his sleeve, and the two unconscious individuals immediately floated up into the air and flew into the spectator stands.
Someone in the spectator stands immediately took action and began to help treat the two individuals.
As the red light grew stronger, Bai Yuntian explained with a smile, "For a sacrificial summoning formation like this, summoning an existence from another world into the Canglan World usually requires one of the parties to pay a huge price."
"For example, this summoning formation before us uses the King of Mad Blood's essence blood as a sacrifice to replenish the formation's energy. Although it has an unexpected effect, after this, its strength will likely drop, and when we go to crusade it, it will probably be difficult for it to recover fully."
The more Bai Yuntian explained, the more confused Lu Chenxing became. "But didn't their plan already fail? Why are they still performing a sacrificial summoning?"
"This involves another question, Little Lu. Let me ask you, what do you think the relationship between exotic beasts should be like?" Bai Yuntian retorted.
After a brief thought, Lu Chenxing replied, "Among the foreign races, there is slight competition, and they are rivals to each other. Humans are just one of thousands of races to them."
"You've memorized the textbook material well, but unfortunately, it's not that simple." Bai Yuntian's smile faded. "Although I don't know why, in the early days of the human race's appearance, there was a short period of unrest among the foreign races in the Zhu Tian Battlefield."
"After that, wherever there were humans, the foreign races would attack en masse. So, at first, our human race had a very difficult time. But when we occupied and successfully ascended to a mid-tier race, the situation improved greatly."
"Because, as you said, there is also competition among them. Before the appearance of the human race, they would also attack each other. It's just that after the appearance of the human race, while jointly attacking humans, they maintained a state of balance among themselves."
"And this balance involves the interests of various races and cannot be easily broken! Otherwise, it will appear that they might themselves divide and devour the weaker parties to strengthen their own race's power!"
"If one or several parties start to attack the weaker parties, those who don't act will once again become a vulnerable group, so usually, they will all act together, and no race can stand idly by."
"Just like this time, the Phantom Demon involved in this incident was severely injured, and the Plague Lord self-destructed its clone. They all suffered losses to varying degrees, so none of them will let the King of Mad Blood escape unscathed. Otherwise, the Plague Lord would be the first to suffer!"
At this point, Lu Chenxing understood. The reason why the human race's situation was much better now was because the human race's strength had increased, and no race dared to say that it could attack the human race and still retreat unscathed!
There was also a fragile balance between the foreign races. If a certain race were to first attack the human race and then suffer a blow or severe damage, it would immediately be devoured by other races!
It was also because of this fragile balance that the Plague Lord and the Phantom Demon would not allow the King of Mad Blood to preserve its strength! It was somewhat along the lines of, "Compared to our failure, a brother's success is more heartbreaking."
As the two were speaking, a lion-shaped avatar condensed from fresh blood formed within it, letting out a roar towards the sky!
But the roar stopped halfway, because it acutely sensed the Tier 7 aura emanating from Bai Yuntian in front of it. Streaks of sword qi circulated, making it feel somewhat uneasy.
At this moment, the King of Mad Blood also knew that it had been tricked by its own comrades. So, this gigantic blood lion sat obediently on the ground, somewhat hesitantly saying, "I said I came to the wrong place... do you believe me?"
And the only response it received was a flash of sword light. Its head fell off in response, and at the same time, because the rules within the avatar were obliterated, its huge body turned into ashes and disappeared.
When Lu Chenxing walked out of the stadium, it was already afternoon. The students' trials had ended, and they were now discussing their performance in groups of three or five, completely unaware of what had happened there.
"Master! Did you see my performance?" Guan Yang asked Lu Chenxing with excited anticipation, awaiting his evaluation.
After the King of Mad Blood's avatar was destroyed, Lu Chenxing and the others began to watch the matches normally. He naturally saw his eldest disciple's performance, so he smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Your performance was very good. Principal Bai even praised you to me!"
