# Chapter 1272: What Are You Holding?
At this moment, Craig was going crazy!
All the people from the Yu Kingdom that came this time had been captured, and even his old flame was caught up in it!
They must be undergoing inhuman torture in Lantis by now, right?
Although he had already notified the Sea King, the latter couldn't come up with any good solution either!
After all, the Yu Kingdom imperial capital couldn't be left undefended!
Compared to the Haitang and Bruce factions, Craig was extremely weak!
Now he had already been pushed to the periphery; whenever he tried to approach, he would face joint suppression from Pang Badi and Bruce!
That meant he had basically lost any chance to compete!
And at this moment, Pang Badi was staring at the Leviathan with eager eyes!
This Dao Heaven Ten Stars Peak Leviathan was also a treasure!
After all, it was a monster that had lived from the ancient Gusu era till now!
If he could subdue it as a spirit pet, his grand ambitions would gain another powerful ally!
Given the current situation, it wasn't impossible!
He had learned the essence of Jiangnan's method of taming spirit pets!
And the most crucial cookie, he had brought it too!
But this plan wouldn't be easy to accomplish alone.
(๑◔д◔ิ) "Brother Lance, you're a psychic type. I need your help with something. Once it's done, everything I have in Haitang is yours!"
Lance raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
The two of them began to conspire, and as time passed, more and more people and forces arrived at the seabed!
At the entrance to the Lantis spirit ruin, tens of thousands of people had gathered. No one knew if among these people there were hidden Dao Heaven level powerhouses from other countries!
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated!
And no one noticed that in the sea, there was a girl with a figure that exploded and a mole at the corner of her mouth!
She was watching the Leviathan from a distance, her eyes narrowed slightly. It was Ruiya, who had just retrieved a blank Wei and returned!
The Absolute Void Divine Control Spell Array had been broken, and nothing could stop her anymore!
(๐ᵒ̌‿ฺ.ᵒ̌) "Oh ho? In this era, a spirit beast managed to reach Dao Heaven Ten Stars Peak? That's quite a struggle for it. Is it because of the Fire Seed's influence?"
Her gaze then fell on the spatial gate's energy barrier, frowning slightly.
"Remnants of the Gusu era, holding a piece of the Fire Seed and forgetting who they are? Hah, little do they know everything is under the control of the Holy Envoy!"
"This energy barrier is a bit troublesome, but... it's just a matter of a little extra effort. It can't stop me!"
As she spoke, her body directly vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace.
Although she couldn't enter through the spatial gate, Ruiya could completely enter the dimensional gap!
She could find the Lantis spirit ruin through the gap and then enter, though finding it would take some time.
...
And thanks to the dedication of the cameramen, who risked their lives to dive and film!
The first-hand footage of the Lantis ruins was transmitted in real time!
The Yu Kingdom team had been captured, Lantis had displayed astonishing hidden strength, a peak-level Leviathan was guarding the gate, and the situation had fallen into a stalemate!
Hua Xia had also received this news!
Yang Jian's expression was grave: "Damn it! Lantis actually has a peak-level combatant like the Leviathan?"
"Jiangnan and the others have been captured? How did they end up capsizing like this?"
Nightingale said urgently: (๐･᷄﹏･᷅) "What do we do? Now outside the Lantis ruins, wolves are lurking on all sides, Dao Heaven powerhouses are killing randomly, we can't even keep count with one hand!"
"Jiangnan is only Platinum rank. This is giving him no way to survive!"
Yang Jian paced back and forth anxiously: "Save him! Even if it means emptying our reserves, we have to save him! Immediately notify Wang Dalei to bring Chen Daoyi and head to Lantis for support!"
"The Western Frontier is stable for now, with Fat Orange and Ziyuan there, it's fine!"
"Also! Send a message to the Luo family! Don't they want to board the carriage? Ask if the old master is willing to wade through this muddy water!"
Nightingale nodded repeatedly and turned to notify.
"Wait! Send a message to Han Menglu! Ask what Jiangning thinks! I feel something is off about this!"
Yang Jian's expression was troubled. The world was changing strangely, coupled with the Lantis anomaly. If this wasn't the Saint Star's doing, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!
Now that Li Mingshan couldn't move, he had no choice but to seek Jiangning's help!
Once a Saint Star Bose body appeared, no one could be their opponent. Only Jiangning could hold her own!
Nightingale's scalp went numb: "Sss... isn't that too many people going?"
Yang Jian's eyes were red: "Too many? Where is it too many? If it weren't for having to guard the homeland, and the time constraints, I'd transfer all of Hua Xia's Dao Heaven powerhouses over, damn it!"
"Jiangnan absolutely cannot have an accident. If anyone wants Jiangnan's life, let's see if they can withstand the raging fury from Hua Xia!"
Nightingale nodded heavily, goosebumps shooting straight up her crown chakra. Brother Jian's attitude was too hard!
She hurried off to handle it!
...
At the Pioneer Academy, Qin Shou, Ye Xinghe, and the others were in the classroom watching the live broadcast of the Lantis ruins on Toutiao Net!
Their eyes were full of anxiety!
(΄◞ิᯅ◟ิ‵) "Damn! How did Boss Nan capsize? Got caught by Lantis? He can't be in trouble, right?"
(。・`益´・) "Nonsense! Look at what level of conflict this is! This is a world-class conflict! A full-star Leviathan! Ceiling-level combat power!"
(｡･ˇ﹏ˇ･｡:)"Who can withstand that? Damn! How many Dao Heaven powerhouses are present at this scene? All internationally famous big shots! Giants! Dao Heaven powerhouses killing randomly!"
(ﾉ)⇀‸↼)"Boss Nan's balls are really fat, huh? He dared to wade into this mess? And he even fired a shot at the Leviathan, putting a hole in its belly! No wonder they went after him!"
Everyone's eyes were red from watching, wishing they could be there in person!
But they also understood that with this level of conflict, they wouldn't even know how they died if they went there!
Forget how many the spell array had slaughtered! How many had the Leviathan already killed?
He just went to the Yu Kingdom to teach, did he have to stir up such a big mess?
Somehow, he had triggered a world-class conflict! This southern man really never settled down wherever he went!
(￢ก￢‧̣̥̇) "Shh! Stop talking! Sister Xue is here!"
Everyone quickly returned to their seats. Qin Shou even hurriedly put away his phone, pretending nothing had happened!
The classroom fell silent instantly!
Zhong Yingxue looked somewhat distracted: "You don't have to hide it from me. I saw the live broadcast!"
Everyone's eyes twitched. Knowing that Jiangnan had been captured, wouldn't Sister Xue be worried to death?
Yu Qingqing quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhong Yingxue's small hand, and comforted her softly: (๑ớㅂờ)っ "It'll be fine. How dangerous was the Abyss last time? Boss Nan still pulled through, right?"
Zhong Yingxue nodded, gently hummed in agreement, and forced herself not to think about it!
Because worrying couldn't change anything; she could only silently pray for Jiangnan's safety!
Xia Yao was extremely worried and went to video chat with Zi Yuan, hoping Sister Zi Yuan could dream up some useful information!
And just then, from the direction of the Toy House, an extremely strong beam of Bose light flashed, vanishing in an instant!
Zhong Yingxue's small fists clenched tightly, her eyes full of worry!
(๑ŏ﹏ŏ๑)
Sister Jiangning had even set out!
Had the situation become this serious?
Little Nan! You must be okay!
...
In the Lantis spirit ruin, Alice was completely weak, having finished inscribing the Sacrificial Heaven Great Array!
Shark's eyes were bloodshot, his face full of fanaticism!
Had this day finally come?
He couldn't help but snatch back the Origin Scepter: "Watch her! After I bathe and pay respects to the ancestors, I will officially activate the Sacrificial Heaven Spell Array!"
"Tell A Zhen to prepare the sacrifices!"
As he spoke, he excitedly carried the Origin Scepter toward the palace's sacred hall!
Lan was extremely anxious. The spell array was already complete; if he didn't act now, there would be no chance!
So, draped in the Vendor Cloth, she frantically teleported toward the palace's sacred hall!
Since Shark was holding the Origin Scepter, the sacred hall's protective spell array had not been activated!
Many priestly mermaids were serving there!
To get the Origin Scepter, she couldn't stay outside the array!
Lan's eyes widened with anxiety, and she noticed the huge statue of King Atlas!
With a teleport, she hid inside the statue's nostril!
Her legs formed a split, propping against the stone walls, waiting quietly for Shark's return!
༼(๐ŏ~ŏ๐)༽
They saw Shark walk into the sacred hall excitedly, carrying the Origin Scepter!
He handed the Origin Scepter to a priestly mermaid!
The mermaid held the Origin Scepter with both hands, walked respectfully to the statue, and inserted it into the raised hand of King Atlas!
Lan was so nervous she felt her heart was about to jump out!
Shark waved his hand grandly!
(⌯•̀口•́)ﾂ "All priestly personnel! Follow me to worship the ancestors!"
As he spoke, with Shark at the lead, a hundred priestly mermaids stood in formation and knelt directly below the statue!
Lan: (๐•̌ࡇ•̑๐)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Shark spread his arms, a look of piety on his face!
٩(⌯︶口︶⌯)۶
"My esteemed King Atlas! I, Shark, on this day, will activate the array to sacrifice heaven, recreating your miracle from a thousand years ago!"
"Heaven descends Origin, continuing the glory of Lantis! May the ancestors bless! May this sacrifice go smoothly!"
"May Lantis's martial fortunes flourish! Eternal and undying! Accept my nine bows!"
As he spoke, he directly performed a grand prostration at the statue!
Lan looked down below!
Completely dumbfounded! O(·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)O
Why are they bowing to me?
No need, no need!
Seeing Shark and the others all kowtowing there, Lan's eyes lit up!
(๑$◠$)و✧
Opportunity!
But stealing so blatantly seemed a bit unethical!
Jiangnan Gege said she shouldn't arbitrarily steal other people's things!
So she would exchange with them instead!
Thus, she pulled out an object from her alternate dimension and held it in her hand!
Just as she was about to act, Shark and the others had already finished one kowtow and stood up!
Then they began the second kowtow!
Seizing the opportunity, Lan quickly made her move!
Space Rubik's Cube!
In an instant, the object in Lan's hand disappeared, replaced by the Origin Scepter that had been inserted into the statue's hand!
Lan tucked it into her pants pocket, covering it under the Vendor Cloth!
Meanwhile, Shark and the others were still kowtowing, already on the eighth bow!
But at that moment, a priestly mermaid took a break from kowtowing to admire King Atlas's sacred countenance!
This look made his expression freeze!
(ˀ̣ˀ̣ಠ︶ಠ)
What the hell?
He then rubbed his eyes in disbelief!
The priestly mermaid beside him grew anxious and quickly signaled him!
(O˃᷄︶⊚) "What the hell are you doing? Kowtow!"
The mermaid said in terror: "No! L... look at what the ancestor is holding?"
Shark said unhappily:
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "What are you discussing? Paying respects to the ancestors is a sacred matter. Can you just speak casually?"
"Do the two of you want to die?"
The mermaid said urgently!
(⊚口⊚lll)☛ "No! Lord Shark! Look at the ancestor's hand!"
Shark frowned and looked up!
He saw the statue of King Atlas roaring upward, his hand raised high!
But what was held in his hand was no longer the Origin Scepter!
Instead, it was a wooden handle with a pink rubber material—a toilet plunger!

Shark: ???
