Chapter 868: The Deacon’s True Appearance

Li Yang felt something unusual in the deacon's weird smile.

This smile contains not only fanaticism and distortion, but also an inexplicable expectation.

It was like he was waiting for something.

"you..."

Li Yang was about to speak when he suddenly felt a violent energy fluctuation.

I saw those alienated residents kneeling on the ground, and a thick black mist began to emit from their bodies.

Numerous twisted runes were faintly visible in the black mist.

"Not good!" Changsheng noticed the abnormality,

"The power of chaos in their bodies is getting out of control!"

Before he finished speaking, the nearest alienated resident suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Immediately afterwards, his body began to expand rapidly, and disgusting black liquid surged under his skin.

Other alienated residents also developed the same symptoms.

The whole street echoed with wails one after another.

"They must be stopped!"

Li Yang made a quick decision and raised the mountain spirit staff.

Emerald green light surged out and turned into countless vines, trying to trap the out-of-control residents.

Changsheng also immediately offered up his silver bracelet, which exerted purifying power.

However, this time, the two divine powers had little effect.

The power of chaos surging within those residents has completely lost control.

Any force that tries to intervene will be instantly contaminated and corroded.

"It's useless." The deacon looked on coldly.

"Once the power of chaos starts to get out of control, it cannot be stopped by your half-hearted powers."

"Shut up!" Li Yang shouted angrily, and at the same time activated the Yuanyuan Jade fragments in his body.

The golden light shines brightly and merges with the power of the Mountain Spirit Staff again.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Those alienated residents that had expanded to the limit suddenly exploded at the same time.

Black flesh and strange organ fragments, accompanied by thick chaos power, sprayed around.

"careful!"

Changsheng quickly opened the protective shield, but it was still a step too late.

A force of chaos broke through the defense and hit her arm.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came.

She looked down and saw that the skin on her arms was darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Immortality!" Li Yang was shocked when he saw this.

But before he had time to take action, more power of chaos had already rushed towards him.

At this critical moment, a ray of silver light suddenly fell from the sky.

Yan Yue arrived in time, waving the sword in her hand, drawing silver tracks in the air.

Each trajectory turned into a shield, blocking the incoming power of chaos.

At the same time, Li Yan also came from another direction.

He formed seals with his hands and summoned dozens of flame barriers.

The hot flames evaporated the power of chaos, turning it into black smoke and dispersing in the air.

"I came at the right time." Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Yue did not answer, but quickly checked Chang Sheng's injuries.

Fortunately, it was just a skin infection and no meridians had been touched.

She immediately took out a pill and gave it to Changsheng.

Soon, those darkened skins began to return to normal.

"What a surprise..." The deacon's voice sounded again, "Your cooperation is much better than I thought."

Li Yang looked at him coldly:

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Do the results of this 'test' confirm your twisted theory?"

The deacon shook his head: "On the contrary."

"Your performance..." he said meaningfully, "let me see something more interesting."

As he spoke, his figure began to become blurry.

"I think it's time to move on to the next stage."

"Wait!" Li Yan wanted to stop him.

But the deacon had disappeared.

Only one sentence was left, echoing in the air:

"Soon...you will understand..."

"The true meaning of it all."

The streets are calm again.

But the aura of chaos in the air lingered for a long time.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling an unprecedented pressure.

"What does he mean?" Li Yan frowned, "The next stage?"

Changsheng covered his arms, thoughtfully: "I'm afraid..."

"This incident is just the beginning."

Li Yang nodded: "They will definitely have bigger actions next."

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, a low roar suddenly came from the distant sky.

Looking up, I saw that the northern sky was shrouded in a strange red light.

Numerous twisted black shadows were vaguely visible in the red light, as if they were some kind of ominous omen.

"That's..." Yan Yue's pupils shrank,

"The connection with the Xuanming Realm?"

"That should be the area most severely affected by Chaos so far, right?"

Li Yang basically didn't hesitate and made a decision immediately:

"Anyway...we have to rush over immediately."

"Wait a moment..." Changsheng said,

"Before that, I think there's something that needs to be clarified."

She looked at Yan Yue: "What happened to the [Star Boundary Reorganization] you mentioned before?"

"Why did the Order choose this time to act?"

Yanyue pondered for a moment:

"As for the reorganization of the star realm, even the contents recorded in ancient books are actually very vague."

"But based on my guess..."

She pointed to the strange red light in the sky,

"The reason why the disaster was prevented back then was probably because the opportunity for reorganization was missed."

"And now..." her voice became solemn, "the opportunity has come again."

"If they succeed, the whole world will fall into chaos again."

"Then what should we do now?" Li Yan asked.

Changsheng thought: "First, we have to confirm the situation of the seal."

"If it is true as the deacon said, this is only part of their plan..."

"Then there is a high probability that there is something bigger waiting for us at the seal."

Li Yang nodded: "So we have to find a way..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance.

Then, the earth began to shake violently.

The red light in the sky also became more intense and began to spread around.

"It's too late!" Yan Yue shouted, "The seal can't hold for much longer!"

"We must rush over immediately!"

Everyone looked at each other and no longer hesitated.

Quickly mobilized their own strength and rushed to the seal.

Along the way, they saw more and more strange phenomena.

Cracks kept appearing in the sky, as if the glass-like space was torn apart by some force.

Black mist began to emerge from the ground, and no grass grew wherever it went.

Even the air was filled with a strange breath, which made people palpitate.

Finally, everyone stopped in front of a valley.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is it." Yan Yue said,

"The seal is deep in the valley."

However, before they could take action, a familiar voice came from the valley:

"Everyone... Welcome."

As the voice spoke, countless black runes appeared in the air.

The runes quickly connected to form a huge magic circle.

In the center of the magic circle, the figure of the deacon slowly appeared.

But this time, his appearance has completely changed.
