My construction materials are weird

"Not excessive at all, Second Brother, you're absolutely right. There's a high probability that Xuan Huang Daoist is a product supported by the top-tier realms of humanity. Otherwise, the top-tier human realms would have intervened before when targeting cultivators, which is somewhat likely."

Salloyer's eyes lit up, and he said with great agreement.

"Then, Big Brother, what should we do?" Bennier asked.

"Call Gou Jianren in and have him intensify the harassment of Xuan Huang. Whether he's a great power, a Gui Xu creature, or cultivated by a top-tier realm, who he is doesn't matter. What matters is that our plan won't change," Salloyer said.

"Yes, Big Brother."

Before long, Gou Jianren was called in again.

The three demons didn't say anything else, just told him to speed up the rate of deployment.

The wilderness deployment needs to continue. This is to expand the infection among people, which can increase their luck. This point cannot be missed.

In addition, since cultivators have discovered it, let's start deploying to the teleportation arrays they've established.

Aren't they strengthening their defenses?

Hmph, I won't use spirit masters for deployment, but rather fanatical believers for suicide bombings. Let's see how you defend against that.

"Yes, my most high, most great God," Gou Jianren said, relieved.

To be honest, he wasn't afraid of being busy, or even of failure.

He was only afraid that the three gods would lose their focus on targeting Xuan Huang. If that were the case, he would be very disappointed.

Now it seemed the three gods were fine. He didn't know what had happened earlier, but the result was good.

Gou Jianren withdrew to arrange the deployment to the teleportation arrays.

This required Qiao Liangyu's cooperation.

In a desolate secret realm, it was dark and gloomy, with occasional lightning-like flashes of light sweeping across.

Upon closer inspection, it would be discovered that it was not lightning at all, but traces of the sky being shattered.

As if the space-time was about to shatter at any moment.

This was the main base for housing the fanatical believer bombs.

Qiao Liangyu witnessed what a fanatical believer was and was surprised to discover that they were just human puppets.

Humans were transformed into bombs carrying the abyss's source of pollution.

It's said that the rabbit mourns the fox, and creatures grieve for their own kind, but for people like Qiao Liangyu, this didn't apply.

When he saw these transformed people, he didn't feel a trace of pity, but rather admiration.

He admired the abyss's sacred power, which could transform people like this.

Upon receiving the message from Gou Jianren, Qiao Liangyu smiled with joy.

Finally, the bombs were to be deployed into the cultivators' teleportation arrays. This was what he had been most looking forward to.

In his opinion, destroying the cultivators' teleportation arrays was the best thing, so that his teleportation ability would be even more special.

Now, even any Tom, Dick, or Harry was starting to build teleportation arrays, which was simply outrageous.

"Don't worry, I'll deliver them safely," Qiao Liangyu gave Gou Jianren a reassuring reply.

"Then let's begin!" Qiao Liangyu waved his hand.

Only to see black curtain passages emerging all around.

This was the ability that distinguished it from a teleportation array, he could open it anytime, anywhere.

He could also clearly deploy to a specified location, without needing a teleportation array on the other side.

This was the powerful spatial ability of the Strange Assembly.

"Go!"

He waved his hand, and the demonic believer was sent into the passage.

Afterwards, he quickly closed it, making it a one-way transmission, not responsible for returning.

On the other side.

At the Nine Mountains teleportation array point, Liu Jinquan was leading a team on patrol.

Liu Jinquan was the one Xuan Huang used to call Uncle Liu, who had been guarding the Blood Pool Secret Realm before.

After entering the Transcendent realm some time ago, he entered another world, was transferred from the Blood Pool Secret Realm by the Martial Alliance, and he signed up to participate in the task of guarding the teleportation array.

His experience will not be detailed, it can only be said that he is also a small legend.

With the potential of a protagonist, due to his relationship with Xuan Huang, and his origin in the Nanshi Martial Alliance, he has the current situation.

"Not good!"

Liu Jinquan was not careless at all, diligently guarding the teleportation array. When spatial fluctuations appeared, he immediately noticed it.

Qiao Liangyu's teleportation ability also had a powerful aspect, which was that it was difficult to destroy.

Unless someone like the Metal Element Master relied on their powerful strength to cut off the teleportation passage.

Otherwise, the teleportation process could not be interrupted.

At least Liu Jinquan and his team couldn't do it.

The headquarters also told them that once they discovered a teleportation passage opening, they should not attack meaninglessly, as it was useless.

It was better to wait calmly, and when the spirit master teleported over, killing the spirit master was countless times easier than destroying the teleportation passage.

Therefore, after shouting, everyone noticed.

But no one chose to act immediately, but rather prepared fully, waiting for the teleportation passage's spatial barrier to disappear, to give the incoming spirit master a fatal blow.

The headquarters said that they wanted to scare the spirit masters who dared to deploy the source of pollution, so that they could truly alleviate the problem.

"Everyone, get ready!"

Liu Jinquan shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Although they were all at the Transcendent level, their cultivation was not much worse than Liu Jinquan's.

But the captain's words had to be listened to. This was a lesson that the cultivators had summed up with blood and fire.

There must be a leader, and they must listen to orders, and not act arbitrarily.

"This is...?"

Liu Jinquan was a little surprised.

When the barrier of the teleportation array dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone was a creature that was difficult to describe.

It barely had the outline of a human, but it was no longer human.

For example, dozens of arms, densely packed eyes and mouths, some places were skin, some places were scales, and some were hair.

A bizarre and grotesque style, one glance would make people twitch.

In short, it was unbearable to look at.

This was still what the cultivators saw. The cultivators had strong wills and mana protecting their bodies.

Ordinary people who saw such a grotesque thing would definitely be mentally deranged, and it would be difficult not to go crazy.

If the gray-black aura emitted by the monster was added, ordinary people would definitely be infected and become monsters like it.

"Not a spirit master?"

This was the doubt lingering in everyone's minds.

The headquarters told them to kill the enemy, but this didn't seem like it.

Could it be a spirit master who was about to lose control, and was being used as a waste?

"Attack!"

However, Liu Jinquan did not hesitate and quickly commanded everyone to attack.

"Boom!"

In an instant!

Various big moves were launched together. With the points raised by the major forces, not spending their own money, they naturally used whatever was most effective. This was a coveted task.

"Boom! Clatter! Clang!"

Various means were used, all heading towards the monster.

Inconceivably, the monster didn't show any sign of resistance.

Although it happened in a flash, everyone present was a Transcendent cultivator, so they naturally noticed this.

The monster was eerily calm.

"Boom!"

Everyone thought the same thing, the monster did not make any counterattacks, allowing the attacks to fall on itself.

"Not good, retreat quickly, quickly!"

Too fast to react.

The cultivators' first attack had barely landed when it unleashed a massive explosion, far exceeding the capabilities of the attack itself.

Moreover, the shockwave from the explosion rapidly swept towards them, even affecting the entire teleportation array.

This was a self-detonation amplified by the cultivators' attack.

With a deafening roar, the monster exploded directly, and the gray-black aura surrounding it scattered like it had lost its anchor.

"Not good, it... it self-detonated?"

Liu Jinquan roared in disbelief.

The monster looked awkward, but the aura it emitted indicated that it was an existence at the Profound Transformation realm.

And not just any Profound Transformation, at least the late stage of Profound Transformation, or even close to Tongxuan.

Their first attack, although powerful, shouldn't have directly blown it up.

There could only be one reason: the monster self-detonated, and their attack merely boosted the power.

Liu Jinquan recalled the short few seconds from the monster's appearance to its self-detonation, yet everything seemed bizarre.

It wasn't a spirit master, that much was certain, at least not the kind he thought of.

It didn't resist, allowing the attack, and then self-detonated.

The headquarters even told them to scare the invaders.

Now it seemed that the monsters sent here never intended to return alive.

"Is everyone alright?"

The massive self-detonation shockwave injured all the cultivators present.

Although there were no fatal wounds, the injuries carrying the source of pollution were comparable to serious injuries.

"Cough cough, Captain, I'm not going to die, but I need to immediately go into seclusion to refine the source of pollution."

"Captain, me too."

"…"

The faces of everyone in the group were grave, as they were fighting the invasion of pollutants.

The violent explosion, coupled with the pollution, directly invaded their souls and bodies.

Not only that, the source of pollution from the explosion had already begun to spread.

They were all badly blasted; the impact of the self-detonation was unimaginable.

Damage was unavoidable, and while the strongest of them had taken the brunt of the initial impact, it didn't mean the other cultivators in the teleportation array hub were so lucky.

The others wouldn't be as strong as them.

The teleportation array wasn't just for teleporting extraordinary cultivators; entry-level cultivators were the main force using the teleportation array.

Fortunately, there was a strict plan in place, preventing a large number of people from gathering in one place.

Ever since they suspected that demons might sabotage the teleportation array, the Four Great Clans issued instructions.

Teleportation array locations had to be standardized and more rationalized, in short, teleportation had to be orderly.

"The spread here can't be stopped; follow me to evacuate this place first."

Liu Jinquan said with a wry smile.

He didn't expect such an unfavorable start; the first task he received had failed.

A self-detonation by a demon close to the second tier, coupled with their assistance, almost breached Nine Mountain Field.

The teleportation array couldn't be saved; the scattered field, ravaged by the impact, couldn't provide a stable field for teleportation.

Not to mention that besides them, the nearby main hall was, at first glance, razed to the ground.

That was the teleportation core, where cultivators entering it would be positioned for teleportation.

He didn't know how much was lost.

"Yes!"

The group supported each other as they left the area.

Recovery required going to a place that wasn't polluted; recovering here would be suicide.

The group quickly left the area, passing by the teleportation hall, and seeing survivors and surviving ordinary garrison cultivators.

Together, they carried the severely injured who hadn't died, and left.

Meanwhile, the source of pollution from the demon's self-detonation had completely spread during this time.

After leaving the field covered by the mountain range, Liu Jinquan quickly reported the situation to headquarters.

Afterwards, he anxiously led his seriously injured comrades to rest on the spot, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

He looked at the destroyed teleportation array location in the distance, feeling very distressed.

It wasn't just that his first mission had failed; there was also the destroyed teleportation array and the cultivators who died from the impact of the self-detonation.

It was frustrating, but he couldn't vent it.

Was it because he wasn't working hard enough?

He had been working hard, diligently carrying out the mission, not daring to be careless.

Who would have thought that the alien deities wouldn't follow the rules? What headquarters told him was to kill the invading enemies, to scare the invading spirit masters.

That's what he was prepared for, but…

This wasn't a spirit master at all; it was just a monster that only knew how to self-detonate.

Impossible to defend against.

"Sigh!"

All the helplessness could only be turned into a sigh.

On the other side.

In the Qingyun Mountain headquarters.

Liu Jinquan was the first to report heavy losses, and the teleportation array he guarded was temporarily closed.

The reason for saying 'first' meant that this wasn't the only one.

The Four Great Clans and Eight Medium Sects at headquarters immediately exploded.

Seventy percent of the garrison leaders of the teleportation arrays in various places were people from these medium and large forces.

The news of heavy losses came one after another in short order, so how could they not explode?

"Ding ding ding! ! !"

The alarm bells rang throughout the inner and outer perimeters of Qingyun Mountain, except for the core area where Xuan Huang was located.

With successive reports of heavy losses, especially from the increasingly important teleportation arrays, the Four Great Clans and Eight Medium Sects decisively sounded the alarm.

Afterwards, they quickly dispatched experts to rescue, while the higher-ups rushed to the Merit Hall to discuss.

"What's going on?"

"The alarm bell rang? What major event happened?"

In an instant, all the cultivators in Qingyun Mountain were alarmed.

Speaking of alarm bells... in short, it was a large bell to gather everyone for discussion, established by the Merit Hall. This was the first time it was used, and they thought it wouldn't be needed.

Therefore, the alarm bell ringing thoroughly surprised the Qingyun Mountain cultivators, as it was the first time they had seen it.

"Something big must have happened, otherwise why would the alarm bell ring?"

A cultivator said.

Of course, at this time there were still people with time to discuss gossip.

These were some powerful loose cultivators, or non-core 30,000 cultivators who came to Qingyun Mountain for training.

Qingyun Mountain indeed only accommodated 30,000 people, but these 30,000 represented the 30,000 cultivators who could gain a foothold in Qingyun Mountain and have their own place.

It didn't mean that other cultivators couldn't come to Qingyun Mountain.

That was impossible; cultivators came on pilgrimages, or for training, worship, enlightenment, and many other reasons.

Countless cultivators came to Qingyun Mountain from all directions every day, and countless cultivators left Qingyun Mountain every day.

Especially with the establishment of the teleportation array and the previous Qingyun Boat.

These two major modes of transportation allowed cultivators from all over the world, as long as they had a certain strength and points, to come to Qingyun Mountain for worship.

Not to mention anything else, the tempering of will in the White Bone Pagoda was essential.

Learning techniques in the Dream Realm, leaving dreams, and other essential practices made countless cultivators rush here.

Not to mention that this was also the source, the base camp for various spiritual pills and elixirs, and various opportunities for techniques.

As long as they had the ability, any cultivator would come to Qingyun Mountain.
