Upon hearing Meng Zhou's inquiry, the dejected Ancestor Mingnan looked over.

There was an indescribable grievance in his eyes.

And on the deck next to Patriarch Mingnan, Patriarch Guangcheng's corpse with a blooming head was lying there hard.

When Meng Zhou saw this, his eyes paused for a moment on the corpse.

It seems that ancestor Mingnan really has a deep affection for this old friend.

The eyes of others looking over were also full of regret.

An ancestor of the Alchemy Sect shook his head and said: "This trip is in vain."

The other monks also nodded slightly with sad expressions.

The fundamental purpose of everyone's trip is not to target the phantom of the Lihen Statue, but those False God Crystals.

If Patriarch Guangcheng's condition is the same as last time, that would be okay.

Even though all the Void God Crystals were embedded in the soul of Ancestor Guangcheng, they still had a way to take out the Void God Crystals without worrying about the life and death of Ancestor Guangcheng himself.

But the problem now is, let alone the soul.

Ancestor Guangcheng, whose forehead and eyebrows "bloomed", even his sea of ​​consciousness had been blown away.

Naturally, there is no way to talk about anything else.

As the ancestor of the Alchemy Sect said, everyone's trip was really in vain.

Just when everyone was feeling sad, an ancestor of the Jinding Sect laughed and said:

"Running away is in vain. At least everyone must come out in full."

He is quite good at self-explanation.

Ancestor Mingnan heard this and glanced at him. Although he had different opinions in his heart, he had no intention of refuting it now.

The Virtual God Crystal has the most immediate effect on him and several of the Alchemy Sect ancestors.

For other cases, the effect is not so direct.

In particular, the Jinding Sect's success is basically all within oneself, and its reliance on external objects is the least among the five sects.

Because of this, everyone returned from this trip empty-handed, with varying degrees of disappointment.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"I do think there is still a chance."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the speaker.

The person who said this was none other than "Qihuangzi".

Everyone's expressions were shocked.

If someone else had said this, everyone's reaction wouldn't have been so big.

But "Qihuangzi" is different.

Unknowingly, "Qihuangzi" has a unique status in everyone's heart.

The weight of what he said is naturally different from that of others.

But the strange thing is that in terms of mutual relationships, the relationship between everyone and "Qihuangzi" is the most alienated.

Ancestor Mingnan couldn't wait to ask: "Opportunity? Where is the opportunity?"

Meng Zhou said:

"The most critical part of the twists and turns in this operation against that thing is that every time 'He' falls into a disadvantage, or is even about to be completely wiped out by everyone's arrangements, there will always be a loud noise in 'His' body.

.”

After saying that, Meng Zhou asked: "What do you think about this loud noise?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes showed contemplation.

Previously, the focus of everyone's attention was on the matter of "this trip was in vain and I returned empty-handed."

No one has yet thought carefully about the changes that occurred in the shadow of the statue of Lihen during the conflict between the two sides.

At this moment, after being reminded by "Qihuangzi", everyone's attention was focused on this area.

When everyone starts to think about this matter seriously, the rules are not difficult to discover.

That loud noise will quickly restore the bad state of the phantom of the Statue of Lihen.

The more frequent and intensive the loud noises occur, the better the condition.

Soon, everyone's memory was fixed on the last loud noise almost at the same time.

And that last time happened not within the phantom body of the Lihen Statue, but at the altar beneath it.

With that loud noise, the condition of the phantom of the Lihen Statue improved again.

But the price was that the incense burner enshrined on the altar was destroyed along with the entire altar.

Thinking of this, everyone was startled, and their eyes intertwined and collided in the air.

None of the monks present was an idiot.

It was okay if everyone didn't change their minds before. If they haven't changed their minds now, they would be really stupid.

Almost everyone thought of a possibility at the same time.

Ancestor Mingnan couldn't wait to ask directly: "Is the loud noise coming from 'His' body also the sound of an altar collapsing somewhere else?"

Meng Zhou nodded.

After a pause, Meng Zhou added another explanation:

"Although that thing is very different from us practitioners, I believe there is a common principle.

Every time ‘His’ recovery comes at a critical moment, there is always a price and a source, and it cannot come out of thin air.”

Everyone nodded, quite agreeing with this explanation.

If the phantom of the Lihen Statue really had the ability to kick its left foot with its right foot and increase height on the spot, it would be impossible for them all to leave completely.

Ancestor Mingnan had excitement and doubt in his eyes.

"Are you saying that there are probably Void God Crystals in those places?"

In the past, everyone has tried to "salvage" Void God Crystals from those altar incense burners during the non-harvest period.

But all ended in failure.

Or you can't even enter the incense burner mouth.

Even if I tried my best to get into the incense burner, I couldn't find anything.

Everyone has thought of using more violent methods, such as directly destroying the altar and smashing the incense burner to take a look.

But firstly, they didn't want to make such a big show of it and draw out their hatred too much. Secondly, they had failed attempts one after another, so they didn't have much confidence in it.

"No matter what, it's always good to go and take a look."

After Meng Zhou said this, he closed his eyes and said nothing more about it.

He felt that by saying this, he had done his best.

Otherwise, you can't really tell them, "I saw these with my own eyes. Go ahead and you will definitely gain something."

There was a loud noise for the first time in the virtual body of the statue of Lihen, and then the state quickly recovered, and Meng Zhou began to think about it.

Soon, he found the reason.

He happened to pass by a "transparent round mirror" above a third-level evil vein, and "saw" an altar that was extremely hidden but invisible in his field of vision. It was no longer as complete as before.

The altar was torn into pieces, and the incense burner enshrined on the altar was turned into a pile of fragments, scattered everywhere.

At the same time, he also "saw" a lot of Void God Crystals scattered around the collapsed altar.

Meng Zhou was surprised and quickly intervened to control many "transparent round mirrors".

The "transparent round mirrors" closest to the third-order evil veins immediately stopped their original trajectory and quickly approached the area where the altars were located.

Then, Meng Zhou "saw" that every time there was a loud noise from the body of the statue of Lihen, an altar collapsed.

The altar was torn into pieces, and the incense burner exploded from the inside out.

The Void God Crystals also spattered in all directions as the incense burner exploded.

There are many in number, and the number of those whose phantoms came to harvest the statue of Lihen not long ago is very small.

On the contrary, those that are not far away from the next harvest will have much more Void God Crystals.

Finally, as the phantom of the Lihen Statue collapsed and destroyed the altar under "him", there was no longer a complete altar of the Lihen Statue within the five domains.

For a moment, Meng Zhou had the idea of ​​taking all these Void God Crystals as his own.

This is not troublesome for him.

He doesn't even need to go there in person, he just needs to think about it.
