When the Dao Lord's Inquiry into the Heart is activated, all forms of existence within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, whether living beings, souls, or intangible spirits and information, are strictly prohibited from escaping or leaking in the slightest.

Now, the Xuan Tian Grand Formation has been fully reactivated, its killing intent has been leaked, and it does not recognize anyone. Anyone who leaves will be killed, and the entire sect has become a place that can only be entered but cannot be left.

The great formation operates entirely on its own, and no one can manipulate it in the slightest. It can only return to normal after the Dao Lord finishes his inquiry.

The Xuantian Dao Sect is currently like a cage with no way out. Outsiders may still have a chance to break in, but those trapped inside have no chance of escaping unless the Xuantian Grand Formation is completely destroyed.

However, this Xuan Tian Grand Array, which is powered by the Xuan Tian Dharma Realm, was created by the Emperor Ancestor and completed by countless geniuses of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect over generations. Even in the entire Primordial Era, it is one of the top grand arrays. To completely destroy or break it would be a pipe dream unless the Heavenly Heart Emperor or the revived Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon intervenes.

Meanwhile, compared to the hustle and bustle outside the Xuantian Altar, where people were panicking and shouting, the inside of the Xuantian Altar was unusually quiet, as if time had frozen.

Zhou Xingdou stared intently at Xuanjizi, who wore a bitter smile but remained silent, only shaking his head slightly.

It must be said that Xuanjizi's composure made Zhou Xingdou somewhat uneasy, causing him to frown and ask in a deep voice:

"Master Dao, don't you have anything to say or explain?"

Zhou Xingdou's voice echoed in the empty Xuantian Altar, as if trying to break the unsettling silence.

Buzz!

Unfortunately, Zhou Xingdou did not receive a reply, because at that very moment, the light pattern hanging in the sky emitted a buzzing sound that startled the void.

The sound was like a great bell, resounding through the sky, not only shocking the surrounding void, but also inspiring awe in all who heard it.

In the blink of an eye, the light pattern began to rapidly merge and change, eventually transforming into an ancient and mysterious divine rune inscribed on a towering gate that reached into the clouds.

This portal was enormous, spanning half the width of Nine Mysterious Peak. A sacred and ancient light emanated from within, penetrating the portal and illuminating the entire world.

This light is not dazzling; on the contrary, it appears extremely gentle, like the warm spring sun shining on the earth.

The feeling when these sacred, ancient rays of light shine upon people is indescribable.

It felt as if every cell was enveloped in this warmth, bringing an unprecedented sense of comfort and peace. Like a newborn baby gently nurtured by amniotic fluid in the womb, it gave one an unparalleled sense of security.

Within the gate of light, ripples suddenly appeared, and an extremely majestic figure stepped out. However, this figure was not substantial; in fact, it could be said that it was not human-shaped, but rather a light spirit composed of totems.

The appearance of this majestic spirit was accompanied by an aura of boundless vicissitudes and grandeur that enveloped the heavens and earth, along with an indescribable benevolent majesty—yes, benevolent majesty.

It was a kind of majesty that made people feel both close and warm, and also inspired countless respects.

The disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect knelt on the ground. They may not have known what this spirit was before, or even that such a spirit or the Xuantian Dharma Realm existed within the Xuantian Dao Sect.

But at this moment, one name appeared in their hearts—Xuantian Ancestral Spirit!

At the same time, divine patterns resembling a plate suddenly appeared under Xuanjizi's feet. The divine patterns glowed slightly, and a beam of light instantly enveloped Xuanjizi's body, causing him to disappear from Zhou Xingdou's sight.

Seeing Xuanjizi being brought into the Heart-Questioning Formation by the Xuantian Ancestral Spirit, Zhou Xingdou felt a little relieved. Xuanjizi's calm and silent demeanor had made him somewhat uneasy, fearing that the Heart-Questioning Formation would fail. However, the appearance of the Xuantian Ancestral Spirit dispelled Zhou Xingdou's unease.

As long as the Xuan Tian Ancestral Spirit appears, even if the Dao Lord's Inquiry into the Heart cannot be initiated, the existence of the Xuan Tian Ancestral Spirit means that disrupting the Dao Lord's Inquiry into the Heart will not pose any threat to oneself.

Moreover, the fact that Xuanjizi has been taken away by the Xuantian Ancestral Spirit proves that the Dao Lord's Questioning of the Heart Formation has not failed.

The Questioning of the Heart Bureau is not a public inquiry, but rather the Xuan Tian Ancestral Spirit brings the Dao Lord into the Xuan Tian Dharma Realm, where only the power of the Dharma Realm can discern the truth or falsehood of the words of an existence like Xuan Jizi.

Moreover, the questions asked may touch upon the very essence of a cultivator. If the person being questioned is innocent and their true nature is discovered by outsiders, it could be a huge hidden danger.

But just as Zhou Xingdou relaxed slightly, he heard Xuanjizi's voice in his ear:

"Protect yourselves and protect the disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect. The Three Halls have already laid an ambush at the Luo family. Those people... should be here soon."

This seemingly ordinary sentence contained a wealth of information for Zhou Xingdou, and it exploded in his mind almost instantly, making his relaxed mind tense up again. An ominous feeling spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making his hair stand on end and his scalp tingle!

Zhou Xingdou's eyes widened. With just this one sentence, he could conclude that Xuanjizi was definitely at the eighth level and that the news that Fang Tianyang was dead was false!

Today, as the Daoist is crowned, the three halls that have not appeared at Xuantian Peak are not at the sect, but are lying in ambush at the Luo family!

Why set up an ambush today?

Xuanjizi, who so readily accepted the question, probably never betrayed Xuantian. He may have even known that the Luo family would be thrown into chaos today, which is why he sent the three halls to ambush them.

Why did chaos erupt today?

Today is the day of my own Dao Son's coronation. Does the other party already know that I will launch the Dao Lord's Heart-Questioning Game against Xuanjizi? With the two peak masters absent, the Dao Lord's Heart-Questioning Game has begun, and both Xuantian Ancestral Spirit and Dao Lord Xuanjizi are restrained.

The Xuan Tian Grand Array, which protects the sect, is operating autonomously at this moment, attacking only those who leave the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, and is uncontrollable.

This is undoubtedly the moment when the Xuan Tian Dao Sect's defenses are at their weakest!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou felt a chill and fear in his heart, but these feelings were instantly replaced by anger. He, Zhou Xingdou, had been tricked!

But then Zhou Xingdou clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands, and his silvery-white eyes, swirling with purple energy, seemed to flash with endless lightning punishment. At that moment, a figure flashed through his mind, causing him to shout instantly:

"Fahai! Aunt Jing! Yuan Tian! Xingyou Guards! Seize Fang Daokun at once!"

Zhou Xingdou's voice was almost a low growl, and the vertical line between his brows burst forth with heavenly might like a raging storm; anyone could hear the anger in his voice.

The moment Zhou Xingdou finished speaking, Fahai and Qingyan suddenly appeared on Fang Daokun's left and right sides, and dozens of stars flashed and surrounded Fang Daokun. Yuan Tian stepped out from the seat of the Divine Martial Sect.

However, Fang Daokun did not make any move at this moment, but a ghostly smile suddenly appeared on his face.
