The three of them panted heavily and looked at the collapsed Wuyang Mountain behind them. The tension in their hearts finally eased a little.

After a long time, Zhang Hui slowly spoke:

"Did we... succeed?"

Yun Youzi took a deep breath and nodded:

"For now, yes."

"The passage through which Chaos descends has been sealed by us. At least there won't be any more problems in a short time."

Li Yang looked at the unconscious man in black robe, frowned and said:

"What should I do with this guy? Just take him back to the state?"

"Take it back first." Yun Youzi said,

"We need to interrogate him and find out how he knows these things and where he gets his power."

The three of them led the men in black robes and slowly walked towards the city.

Along the way, they saw that the people who had been in despair gradually regained their consciousness and looked around blankly, as if they did not remember what happened.

After returning to the state capital, they immediately imprisoned the man in black robe and informed the state pastor that the matter had been resolved.

After hearing the news, Zhou Mu came over and saw the three of them looking exhausted. He quickly had someone prepare a room for them to rest.

"Thank you for your hard work, three adults." Zhou Mu said gratefully, "If you hadn't taken action, I'm afraid the entire city would have suffered."

Yun Youzi waved his hand:

"It's just a matter of duty."

"However, the matter is not over yet. We need to interrogate the man in black robes to find out what kind of forces are behind him."

Zhou Mu nodded in agreement, and then arranged for personnel to strictly guard the black-robed man, and sent someone to take care of the three people to rest.

Three days later, the man in black robe finally woke up.

Yun Youzi, Li Yang and Zhang Hui immediately rushed to the cell and began interrogation.

"Tell me..." Yun Youzi looked at the black-robed man coldly, "Who are you? Why do you want to lead Chaos to come?"

The man in black robe was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into shrill laughter:

"Hahaha... Do you think this is the end? You are so naive!"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hui asked sharply.

The man in black robe sneered:

"I'm just a pawn who makes the first move."

"The real curtain has just begun!"

"The advent of Chaos is irreversible..."

The man in black robe continued,

"You may have stopped it this time, but there will be another time, and the next time... until the world completely falls into chaos!"

Yunyouzi frowned and said:

"Who are you talking about [us]?"

The man in black robe smiled mysteriously:

"You'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, he suddenly vomited blood, and his whole body began to age rapidly, turning into a mummy in the blink of an eye.

"This..." Li Yang looked at this scene in shock, "He committed suicide?"

Yunyouzi nodded:

"It seems that the power behind him is not simple, and he can actually place such a curse under our noses."

Zhang Hui said in a deep voice:

"Then what should we do now? If what he said is true, wouldn't Chaos come sooner or later?"

Yunyouzi thought for a moment and said:

"Based on what we've seen of the future, this is really inevitable."

"But taking this opportunity, we can also explore what happened in the past."

"We need more information."

"Since traces of chaos have appeared here, similar situations are likely to occur in other places."

"We can ask around and see if we can find any more clues."

Li Yang and Zhang Hui nodded in agreement.

After discussion, the three decided that Zhang Hui would stay in Zhoucheng to continue the investigation, while Li Yang and Yun Youzi would go to other places to inquire about information.

Before leaving, Yun Youzi handed the broken Tianji Mirror to Zhang Hui:

"I'll leave this to you for the time being."

"It should be able to give some hints if there's anything unusual."

Zhang Hui solemnly took the Tianji Mirror, nodded and said:

"I understand, please be careful on the road."

In this way, the three of them split up and began a period of investigation.

According to the clues given by Zhou Mu, more than ten days later, Li Yang came to a small town called Qingshan City.

This place is surrounded by mountains, and few outsiders visit on weekdays.

However, when Li Yang walked into the city, he found that the whole city was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

The streets were deserted and the houses were closed, like a dead city.

Li Yang looked around cautiously and suddenly heard a low chanting sound coming from a distance.

He followed the sound and came to a tall tower in the center of the city.

At the top of the tower, a dozen people in black robes were forming a circle, muttering something.

Among them, a huge black vortex was slowly rotating, and black mist was constantly pouring out of it.

"That's it again..."

Li Yang frowned and thought to himself,

"It seems that the man in black robe is right, this kind of thing is indeed still happening."

At this moment, one of the men in black robes seemed to notice something and turned his head suddenly.

When he saw Li Yang, he screamed: "Intruder! Kill him!"

Suddenly, all the men in black robes stopped chanting and turned to Li Yang.

Their eyes flashed with strange black light, and their bodies exuded a strong aura of chaos.

Li Yang knew that the matter had been exposed, so he immediately stopped hiding and quickly summoned a large number of plants to form a heavy defense.

As soon as Li Yang's plant defense was formed, the black-robed people launched a fierce attack.

They formed seals with their hands, and countless black beams came like raindrops, hitting the plant barrier with a "chi chi" sound.

Li Yang frowned and controlled the plants to resist.

But he soon discovered that the attacks of these black-robed people were highly corrosive, and the plants hit quickly withered and rotted.

This was exactly the same as the guy before.

But the power of chaos can corrode other things...

In this regard, Li Yang had never seen a similar situation in his original world.

He immediately changed his strategy and stopped defending simply, but began to fight back.

He saw him wave his hands, and countless vines broke out of the ground and entangled with the black-robed people like spirit snakes.

The black-robed people obviously didn't expect Li Yang to have this trick, and they were in a panic for a while.

A few people who reacted a little slower were directly entangled by the vines and couldn't move.

But soon, the remaining black-robed people adapted to this attack.

They chanted spells, and a layer of black light appeared on their bodies. The vines would wither immediately when they touched their bodies.

"Hahaha."

The black-robed man in the lead laughed grimly,

"Stupid! Do you think you can fight against the power of chaos with these plants?"

Li Yang ignored the other party's ridicule, but gradually focused.

He knew that the most important thing at the moment was to stop these people from completing the ritual, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

Since ordinary plants cannot fight against the power of chaos, then...

Li Yang took a deep breath and began to practice the mental method of "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang".
