Seeing everyone looking his way, the mad old man burst out laughing instead of speaking further; his face full of teasing amusement, as if he was completely indifferent to the shaking of Qiu Tian Dao, which was about to be swallowed by the Demon Saint at any moment.
When the crowd saw him with this demeanor, they all felt angry, but his words reminded them; some people noticed that the Demon Saint was covered in chains and unable to break free from the Abyss.
“I have an idea!”
Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly.
Those who could become criminals already possessed wisdom not inferior to ordinary people; their only mistake was choosing the wrong path.
“We don’t need to overthrow all three Abyss Sky Steles, just two will suffice. That way, relying on the buoyancy laws of Qiu Tian Dao itself, the Abyss Sky Lock will become straight, the Demon Saint’s body isn’t long enough, at most only one or two tentacles could reach us, it might not be able to pull us down!”
The person said excitedly.
The crowd ran to the edge of the island, looking at that terrifying yet gorgeous face and the enchanting Blood Lotus.
Indeed, the other party stopped rising, held back by the chains, struggling continuously, but the chains that bound its flesh seemed to also fix it at the very center of the Abyss, causing its body to have to stretch outward desperately to even touch the rocky walls at the edge of the Abyss.
If only one Abyss Sky Lock were pulling Qiu Tian Dao, it would be in a straight position, Qiu Tian Dao would deviate from the center of the Abyss, appearing outside the Abyss, aligned vertically with the other end of the chains, like stakes at the Abyssal Heaven Peak!
Then, the parts of the Demon Saint’s flesh that could touch the chain would be even fewer, possibly unable to pull down Qiu Tian Dao.
This way, they might have a way to survive!
The others caught on to the person’s plan, their eyes lighting up instantly; indeed, it was a good approach.
If this plan still didn’t work, they would have no choice but to abandon the last Abyss Sky Lock and let Qiu Tian Dao ascend, to endure the scorching of the Scorching Sun Holy Fire.
Ji Qingqing was startled, hearing this also eased her mind; pushing over the other two Abyss Sky Steles was indeed a method.
“Now, you have no reason to stop us anymore.”
Someone looked at Ji Qingqing, worried she might go crazy again and genuinely want to perish with them.
“You guys go.”
Ji Qingqing said.
Seeing her approval, everyone else also relaxed and quickly dispersed, running toward the other two Abyss Sky Steles on the island.
Standing beside her, Nurse Ning turned her head, but suddenly noticed on another chain, two figures were rapidly climbing.
“What’s that?”
With her Divine Soul manifesting behind her, her vision enhanced, she immediately saw people on that Abyss Sky Lock.
Hearing her words, Ji Qingqing, too, concentrated her Divine Soul to look, and that glance made her pupils contract, dumbstruck.
On that chain, approximately three hundred li away from the island, two figures were struggling to climb upward.
They were very close to the island, having climbed the majority of the several thousand li of the Abyss Sky Lock, with only the last tenth of the journey remaining.
The suction seemed not so strong; though their climbing was slow, in another four or five minutes, they could reach Qiu Tian Dao.
But the faces of those two people, Ji Qingqing recognized them all.
When she saw clearly, her mind seemed to thunder, as if something had burst open, leaving a brief blank in her mind.
Li Tian Gang!
Her husband!
Ji Yunqing, his uncle!
Ji Qingqing felt as if she had been struck by lightning, somewhat dazed.
But in just a second, she snapped back to reality, her Divine Soul surged upward, rushing towards the Heavenly Stele by the chain.
“Halt!!”
A sword light howled, slashing down in front of the four people about to touch the Abyss Sky Stele.
Seeing Ji Qingqing go back on her word, all four of them were furiously enraged: “Are you crazy?!”
“Wait for them to come up.”
Ji Qingqing’s Divine Soul shakily spoke.
Her Divine Soul quickly descended, guarding in front of the Abyss Sky Stele, with her sword blocking and her back as a fortress.
Several people raged, saying, “Keeping two Abyss Sky Locks is no use; the Demon Saint will still pull us down!”
“Give them some time.”
Ji Qingqing ground her teeth and said.
Her physical self looked towards the two figures painfully and arduously climbing up the chain, tears streaming from her eyes.
She never expected Li Tian Gang to be here too.
Earlier, when Nurse Ning mentioned Li Hao came alone, she was surprised; knowing Li Tian Gang’s strong sense of responsibility, how could he let his son come alone?
She thought there was some hidden reason, but now she realized he had also come, it was just that Nurse Ning’s information was outdated.
“You guys, why are you all so foolish…”
Tears streamed down Ji Qingqing’s face; she herself had cautioned him, never to enter the Ji family before breaking through the Four Stands Realm, but now, she could tell at a glance, Li Tian Gang’s cultivation still remained in the Defying Fate Realm.
No doubt, he had come to the Ji Family with a determination to die.
Just like back then, when he shielded her behind him, confronting the entire hall.
A general who abided by rules, for her, broke his own compliance for the first time, breaking the laws he followed; that was also why she decided to marry him, determined to stay by his side for life.
Boom!!
Suddenly, Qiu Tian Dao violently shook.
A Abyss Sky Stele was uprooted, overturned, and fell from Qiu Tian Dao.
Falling alongside it was the unbreakable Abyss Sky Lock, under the pull of two tentacles, dropping into the Abyss, crashing onto the Demon Saint’s Blood Lotus.
With one Abyss Sky Lock’s pull gone, the island immediately tilted, and the Blood Lotus, as if enraged, suddenly erupted, pulling the several thousand li long Abyss Sky Lock, causing the entire island to rapidly plummet downwards.
“Not good!”
Everyone on the island felt a sensation of weightlessness as if their feet had left the ground, all turned pale with horror, except for the mad old man.
