Chapter 595: Chapter 494: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

At this moment, the music in the entire Jasper Pool suddenly stopped.

Only the voice of the Queen Mother of the West echoed in Nuannuan’s ear.

The Beidou Star Monarch lifted his head. Although it was still the face of the Beidou Star Monarch, when he spoke, the voice had already transformed into that of the Queen Mother of the West!

His gaze was cold, and when he looked at Nuannuan, it was as if he was looking at a dead person.

Because of Nuannuan’s action,

it signified that the final battle of the Peach Blossom Banquet was triggered ahead of time.

There wasn’t much difference from the first time, Han Zhan and the Contracted Spirit Girls were more familiar with the attack methods of the Celestial Court Immortals, allowing them to hold out longer.

That was all.

This time at the end of the battle, it was still Emperor Chong’en’s knowledge mental pollution that caused chaos to explode in everyone’s brain.

Xia Youwei, in the second before the sea of consciousness exploded, blocked Taibai Jinxing’s fatal sword light for Gongyang Jin.

The Fruit World reset once again!

"Failed." The main implementer of this plan, Nuannuan, sighed deeply, "As expected, the Queen Mother of the West won’t let us exploit such loopholes."

"Once the truth is told to the other side, it will be immediately ’taken over’ by the Queen Mother of the West, thereby igniting the final battle."

"Other Immortals probably won’t attempt it again, wasting the opportunity to reset the Fruit World for nothing."

This attempt ended in failure.

"No, perhaps other Immortals can’t, but what about Emperor Chong’en?" Shang Siteng offered a different opinion.

"After Nuannuan’s reminder the last time, this time I particularly observed Emperor Chong’en’s reaction. He is indeed somewhat different from those Immortals who attack us without mercy."

If the Peach Blossom Banquet is regarded as a boss battle in an instance, then there must be a way to break it.

Could Emperor Chong’en be the key to changing the entire event’s outcome?

"Let’s try once more." Han Zhan ultimately decided. "This time, I will..."

"Let me handle the world reset." Nuannuan interrupted Han Zhan, "With the Kunlun Mirror seized, my help to the team is limited, so dying once has the least impact."

Under Nuannuan’s persistence, she was identified as the next to go to death.

After this, they summarized each of their battle details, analyzing the means of each Immortal.

Once everything was ready, Han Zhan and his team entered the Peach Blossom Banquet for the third time.

...

Back at the Jasper Pool.

Everyone started to take action individually.

Shang Siteng skillfully received a fruit platter and Jade Dew from a Jade Pool Fairy, and began circulating around the entire Jasper Pool according to a pre-planned route.

During her movement, tiny particles indistinguishable to the naked eye dropped from Shang Siteng’s body.

Once they hit the ground, they quickly shed their disguise, transforming into nanomachines to survey the entire Jasper Pool map.

The rest of the Contracted Spirit Girls were responsible for controlling the crowd, deliberately or inadvertently blocking those who might affect Emperor Chong’en’s path.

This time, they were working together to ensure enough space for a conversation with Emperor Chong’en.

As for Han Zhan, he had already found Taishang Laojun at the first moment, and the two of them went to the center of the banquet, enthusiastically discussing the Golden Core Dao like old friends.

"Emperor Chong’en has entered the Jasper Pool." Through the nanomachines’ surveillance, Shang Siteng was the first to detect the commotion at the entrance of the Jasper Pool.

She gently pressed her temple and communicated with the other girls.

At this moment, just like the previous two times, Emperor Chong’en entered the Jasper Pool and walked from the outside to his seat.

But for some reason, it seemed extraordinarily deserted on the path that he was walking.

Several times, he was about to nod to greet someone, only to find that the Immortal ahead had temporarily moved, missing him completely.

Once, twice, thrice, Emperor Chong’en walked along this path without encountering a single Immortal to greet.

No matter how dull one might be, something should be gleaned from the unusual atmosphere here, let alone the Emperor Chong’en who cultivates the Knowledge Dao.

When he realized it, he stepped on a transparent Sealing Rune.

Soon after, a strong sense of spatial pull swept over his entire body.

Emperor Chong’en did not resist, allowing the surrounding space to drag him into a special space.

The unique space flickered with black and white light and shadow, where a figure had been waiting for some time.

"It’s you?" When Emperor Chong’en saw the figure in the space, there was surprisingly no great surprise in his tone.

"It’s me." Shang Siteng slightly nodded, "You indeed remember everything."

This space was created by Jiang Lingling using the Sealing Ability of the Haotian Tower.

"I remember." Emperor Chong’en nodded, his expression calm as he spread his hands, saying something Shang Siteng didn’t expect.

"I also remember, because of you, I died two more times."

On hearing these words, light suddenly burst in Shang Siteng’s eyes.

Emperor Chong’en claimed he died two more times.

This meant he even retained memories from the previous two Fruit World resets?!

"But I won’t help you." Emperor Chong’en’s subsequent words were like a bucket of cold water, bringing Shang Siteng back to clarity.

"Why?" Shang Siteng asked.

"Why? This is something I’d like to ask you too. Why do you think you could stand a chance against the last Saint?"

Emperor Chong’en shook his head, "Just like all your current attempts, in His eyes, they are futile and ridiculous struggles."

"If you don’t believe, look—"

As Emperor Chong’en said this, his gaze skipped past Shang Siteng, looking further back into this special space.

Following his gaze, Shang Siteng looked back urgently and saw the special space rapidly collapsing and shattering.

The next second, she and Emperor Chong’en were once again back at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

"I am Shang Siteng, the mission has failed."

Hearing the fast-transmitted voice through the earpiece, Han Zhan’s expression remained unchanged.

At that moment, he was standing beside Taishang Laojun, having a delightful conversation.

"Friend Han Zhan, you just mentioned a surprise for me, what exactly is this surprise?" Taishang Laojun asked with a benevolent smile.

Han Zhan’s face showed the same smile that matched Taishang Laojun’s, "Laojun, this surprise is..."

Boom!

The next moment, in the center of the Jasper Pool, a Black Hole suddenly appeared, collapsing everything around it.

With the appearance of the Black Hole in the center of the Jasper Pool, the intentionally lured nearby Beidou Star Monarch, Southern Dipper Star Monarch, Barefoot Immortal, Taibai Jinxing, Yellow-Horned Immortal,

and the closest Taishang Laojun to Han Zhan were all dragged into the Black Hole created by the Void Origin Dao Soldiers!

Han Zhan’s chilling voice rang out clearly in this Black Hole:

"Plan A failed, now it’s time to execute Plan B."

For the third entry into the Peach Blossom Banquet, Han Zhan and his team had prepared two sets of plans.

Plan A was an attempt to win over Emperor Chong’en.

Plan B was to strike first!
