After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2568 Detailed Analysis
Therefore, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Palace to associate him with the Nine Nether Emperor or the Earth Mother.

“Good, very good.” He Lingchuan smiled. “We must make good use of this misunderstanding.”

Just now, as soon as he heard the conversation between Fairy Wuyu and Fairy Mingke, he keenly seized a new opportunity.

The celestial beings' attitudes and methods towards Mount Ling and towards the Nine Nether Emperor must be completely different.

He Lingchuan is determined to make Lingyun Palace commit a grave mistake!

“Once they assume the enemy comes from Mount Ling, the Heavenly Gods and the Lingyun Palace won’t wait that long. They’ve been rivals for years and know each other’s weaknesses.”

If Lingyun Palace suspects that Cang Yan is the mastermind behind this kidnapping, they will be extra careful.

After all, the Heavenly Demon had suffered far too many defeats at the hands of the Nine Nether Emperor.

Ling Jinbao examined the sand table beside him: "Where do you plan to surface? The commotion of Mother Earth rising is relatively small, but her descent will be earth-shattering and impossible to hide."

When Shangguan Biao controlled Yujing City, his ascents and descents were both grand and spectacular; when Mother Earth took control, the ascents were light, slow, and stable, with only slight tremors felt ten miles away, but the descents were... quite magnificent.

Their pre-battle preparations easily aroused the vigilance of Lingyun Palace.

“There are plenty of good places to choose from.” He Lingchuan pointed, “For example, here!”

Upon seeing this, everyone let out a long "Oh".

As expected of the Nine Netherworld Emperor, his thinking is always more open than others.

Wang Maoshi was asking about the details of the valley sniping battle one by one when Helutian suddenly summoned him to Quanyin Pavilion.

A few moments later, Xiao Ping arrived as well.

Helu Tian's voice rarely carried emotion:

“The divine gaze upon Duan Heyun and Alian has also been severed, right now.”

The two were shocked, and Xiao Ping clenched her fists tightly: "They...they actually had the heart to kill him?"

The "he" in this context refers to Duan Heyun.

“No, I can sense that A-Lian is not dead.” He Lu Tian had a contract with A-Lian and could sense her life or death status through the divine mark in her mind. “It’s just that the ‘divine gaze’ is blocked.”

"How did they do that? Did they also enter a small world or a small space?"

Xiao Ping asked this question because the Heavenly God doesn't use Divine Gaze in the Lingyun Palace. First, this is Helu Tian's territory, where Helu Tian has almost absolute control; second, Divine Gaze is isolated by small worlds and small spaces, making it less effective in the Lingyun Palace.

So when He Lutian mentioned the word "shield," Xiao Ping's first reaction was, "Could this person have entered a small world?"
Wang Maoshi immediately said, "It's Mingke Immortal's spatial artifact."

“If A-Lian didn’t die, but was just stuffed into the small world, Duan Heyun might be the same,” He Lutian analyzed rationally. “The other party went to great lengths to kidnap him, so they probably won’t kill him easily.”

Xiao Ping composed herself and quickly ran out of Quanyin Pavilion.

A moment later, she came running back, her steps lighter and her voice rising:
"Duan Heyun's soul lamp is still lit; he's not dead!"

Important figures in Lingyun Palace would leave behind a soul lamp to mark their life or death.

“In other words, A-Lian and Duan Heyun are not dead, but the divine gaze upon them has been blocked. Now, they are untraceable.” Xiao Ping then looked at He Lutian, “The divine gaze can no longer guide us, and the enemy may soon disappear. Your Majesty, perhaps only you can track their whereabouts right now.”

Before Helu Tian could speak, Wang Maoshi asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

He had been traveling around other small worlds and hadn't heard of this before.

“A-Lian is already the shell of Helu Tian. If He descends, He will naturally be guided to A-Lian by His exclusive divine mark,” Xiao Ping explained. “No matter where she is.”

Wang Maoshi knew how clever A-Lian was, so he was a little surprised: "A-Lian agreed? When did that happen?"

“Just before they entered Baisong City,” Xiao Ping took a deep breath, “Duan Heyun coaxed her into becoming the vessel of the Heavenly God Helu by offering to tour Baisong City as a condition.”

"Yes, that's very likely the reason!" Wang Maoshi clapped his hands. "The enemy's target is not only Master Duan, but also possibly A-Lian!"

"Her?" Xiao Ping was taken aback. "Why would the other party want to steal a mere body?"

“The appearance of the Heavenly God Helu is extraordinary,” Wang Maoshi said quickly. “Whether Lingyun Palace is to operate normally or to defend against enemies outside, it relies on the Heavenly God Helu’s cloud platform for command. Assuming that the enemy’s target is indeed the Hidden God, then the Divine Venerable is the biggest obstacle between the enemy and the target!”

He said, word by word, "The other side might be trying to use Ah Lian against you!"

Wang Maoshi let out a heavy sigh: "Judging from the current situation, we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy knew all along that Master Duan and the others had been targeted by the 'Divine Gaze,' and that they might even have used it against them. The Battle of the Valley might have been a trap they set up to exploit this."

"Few in this world know about the 'Gaze of the Gods,' but Lingshan must be one of them." Despite the many temples in the world, ninety-nine percent of the temple keeper are completely unaware of the existence of the "Gaze of the Gods."

Helu Tian was silent for a moment before asking, "You mean, they want to obstruct the operation of the cloud platform?"

“Because it connects several smaller worlds, the gimbal cannot be removed at will, but it can be freely closed under your control.” Wang Maoshi emphasized the word “control.” “But what if it slips out of your control?”

Helu Tian did not answer the question: "Do you think they can defeat me?"

"This is a clone, its power far inferior to your original body. If you were to descend upon A-Lian, you couldn't use more power." A-Lian is an immature demon puppet, her capacity to bear divine power is limited. "Perhaps the enemy has already used a trick to harm you?"

If the enemy can remove Helu Tian as a thorn in their side, wouldn't it become easier to invade Lingyun Palace?
"Then the other party is too naive," Helu Tian said calmly. "Once this clone is destroyed, I can immediately summon a new one."

"But during this transition, the gimbal will be temporarily without a owner, right?"

The preparation for the divine descent ceremony takes a lot of time. In the gap before the new clone arrives, could the other party take the opportunity to invade the Spiritual Palace?
"You think you can steal the body of the Hidden God from the Spiritual Palace in such a short time?" He Lutian couldn't help but sneer. "Impossible."

Even ignoring Him, the defenses of Lingyun Palace were more than adequate. It was impossible for the enemy to achieve their objective in just a few moments.

"Besides, the Cloud Platform can be designated for specific management," Helu Tian said leisurely. "If the enemy thinks that because my clone is not here, they can come and go as they please with the Cloud Platform, they are being far too naive!"
