What!

As soon as Li Sisui said this, it caused a huge stir. A series of exclamations erupted from the crowd. The Hidden Moon Sect was not satisfied with getting the fourth spot, but dared to dream of becoming number one and replacing the True Martial Hall!

Everyone gasped, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure whether Li Sisui's words were a joke or his true thoughts. Not far behind, Feng Teng Daoren, however, wore a long-absent smile. His master's prophecy had indeed come true!

Ling Quan's smile froze instantly, his previous pretense torn away. His eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of cold light, and he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"You really think no one here can handle you?"

Li Sisui smiled and remained silent. His casual attitude seemed more like a blatant provocation: "If you can handle me, then do it!"

"Hmph! You got lucky and won last time, did you really think you were invincible? That's fine, at least none of us have to pretend anymore!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fairy Qingdai let out a sharp whistle. The whistle was sharp and melodious. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, all the disciples of the three major sects around her disappeared. Including Ling Quan and Fairy Qingdai, they gradually dissipated like clouds and mist in the whistle. The hilltop that was a bit crowded just now was instantly left with only the Hidden Moon Sect!

"How...how did this happen here?"

Feng Teng Dao Ren's eyes showed shock. His bad premonition had finally come true at the last moment. Although what he had worried about had not happened, the current situation was a hundred times worse than he had imagined. Not only did Fei Hua Sect want to harm Li Si Sui, but Zhen Wu Hall and Tai Chu Academy were also involved!

"If I'm not mistaken, this formation should be the protective formation of the Taichu Academy, the Heaven-Trapping Formation!"

I don't know how it ended up here. This formation is not strong in attack and cannot compare with the Demon-Slaying Formation, but it is superior in that it is continuous and ever-renewing. It is the top trapping formation of Saint Hill!

The most perplexing aspect lies in the word "困" (trapped/confined). The reason it's named "困天" (Trapped Heaven) is precisely because it implies that even the natural world can be trapped within it. To this day, no one has ever been known to escape from the "困天" formation of the Taichu Academy…

Li Sisui smacked his lips, glanced around, and said with a hint of disdain:

"Just because I haven't heard of it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

Feng Teng Daoist frowned, clearly quite wary of the Heaven-Binding Formation before him. He didn't seem to heed Li Sisui's words, continuing to speak to himself:

"Although the Heaven-Binding Formation is unsolvable, isn't setting it up at the location where the Sage's Palace will descend just shooting ourselves in the foot? As soon as the Sage's Palace descends, any formation will be reduced to nothingness!"

Suddenly, Ling Quan's cold laughter rang out in mid-air:

"I didn't expect that Sect Master Feng Teng had such knowledge of formations. I underestimated you. But no matter how much you study it, there is absolutely no chance of breaking the Heaven-Trapping Formation personally overseen by Guangyuan!"

It is your junior brother who speaks arrogantly and looks down on everyone. Does he really think he can run rampant in Sage Hill with his strange and unusual skills? Last time he temporarily avoided the limelight, but it was just a temporary measure. Does he really think there is no one in Sage Hill?

Don't think you can fool everyone by deliberately obscuring your identity. This person was wanted by the Tianmen Sect a hundred years ago, and was also the guide who helped Leng Rushuang descend the mountain. Hmph!

Li Sisui remained calm and unmoved by Ling Quan's words. However, Feng Teng Daoren, standing to the side, was deeply shaken. An ominous premonition swept over him. It seemed that the current situation was not a coincidence, but rather a scheme devised by the three major sects!

Since the three major sects are willing to spend so much effort and make such a careful plan, they must be determined to win this battle. What they will have to deal with next will likely be beyond everyone's imagination. This is a big problem. It's not just Li Sisui who is in trouble. For the Hidden Moon Sect, it is also a matter of life and death!

Feng Teng Dao Ren's face was gloomy, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and the surrounding clouds and mist made people feel dizzy and confused, as if they were trapped in a siege but had no way to break through the enemy. Beset by internal and external troubles, they were exhausted and their weaker disciples were on the verge of collapse. Before they even engaged in a direct battle, the Yan Yue Sect had already been routed...

Buzz!

The slow sword domain spread out silently, enveloping the members of the Hidden Moon Sect. The oppressive feeling emanating from the Heaven-Trapping Array vanished instantly. Li Si Sui remained expressionless and said indifferently:

"Everyone can rest assured here. Leave the rest to me. The Hidden Moon Sect will surely be ranked first on Sage Hill, and the Sage's Mansion will be indispensable to us!"

His emotionless voice, like a soothing balm, instantly calmed the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect. They all turned to look at him, and he instructed the Wind Vine Daoist:

"A great battle may break out in a moment, so just take good care of the disciples, senior brother."

After hearing this, Daoist Feng Teng nodded solemnly, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Ling Quan's unrestrained laughter in mid-air:

"Ignorant madmen, even at this point, you're still thinking about the Sage's Mansion. Are you sure you can live until the Sage's Mansion descends?"

Don't blame me for not reminding you. Do you think I alone could persuade Guangyuan to mobilize over a thousand elite disciples to spend months setting up the Heaven-Trapping Array in Saint Valley?

Hmph! Ignorant! In the end, they didn't even know how they died!

Ling Quan's confidence made it seem as if everyone from the Hidden Moon Sect had already turned into corpses. Li Sisui was also stimulated by Ling Quan's confidence. Although he knew that with the protagonist's halo, he could not die, it would be best to avoid that kind of life-or-death experience!

However, Ling Quan, who had been so respectful before, had now completely dropped his pretense and revealed his true colors. This made the usually easygoing Ling Quan a little angry, and he said impatiently:

"If you're so capable, stop hiding in the clouds and talk nonsense. Show yourself and have a go. If you hadn't begged for mercy last time, none of this would have happened. It seems that being merciful to some people is being cruel to yourself. You'll definitely be more careful next time!"

"You! You're so sharp-tongued. Let's see if you'll still be this way when you see the people from the Heavenly Gate Sect later, hmph!"

"What! The Heavenly Gate Sect?"

Feng Teng Daoren couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes glazed over as he said:

"Tianmen Sect? The Tianmen Sect of Fugu Mountain? Or..."

"You think the Tianmen Sect has forgotten about you after hiding for over a hundred years? Anyone who can escape the Tianmen Sect's wanted list is a dead man! Haha, you ignorant madman, just wait to face the wrath of the Tianmen Sect!"

By the way, everything we did before was just to prevent you from escaping again. As for what happens afterward, that's none of our business, hehe!

Upon hearing this, Daoist Fengteng collapsed to the ground with a thud. As the sect leader of the Hidden Moon Sect, he had seen all sorts of storms, but he had never foreseen that the day the Hidden Moon Sect soared to the top would also be the day the sect would be destroyed and its people would perish...

"I see!

The Flying Flower Sect opened its gates wide, and no one in the library stopped them. Even the sudden addition of a fourth spot and the early start of the Saint Selection—all of this was a delaying tactic, to buy time until the Heavenly Gate Sect arrived. No wonder they didn't care about the Saint's Palace's common sense about breaking all formations; it wasn't that they didn't care, it's just that we simply couldn't wait for the Saint's Palace to arrive!

Feng Teng Daoren suddenly realized that although he had great confidence in Li Sisui, how could a miracle happen when facing the Tianmen Sect, the number one sect in Fugu Mountain? If a miracle really happened, why would he need to flee to Wulipo?
