"Stop! Don't attack the Azure Dragon!" The situation was urgent, and Shen Sangruo didn't have time to explain further, so she could only tell the others to stop.

Upon hearing her voice, Ye Huai and the others, who were about to launch an attack, did not hesitate and instinctively withdrew their attacks.

However, several attacks still escaped uncontrollably and flew straight towards the Azure Dragon.

"Oh no, I couldn't stop!" Song Weiyan exclaimed.

The Azure Dragon's body was so fragile; it must have been the work of those evil cultivators, so that they could easily injure it.

In addition, Song Weiyan and the others were all prepared to die, and they used all their strength to launch their attacks.

It's easy to imagine how much damage these attacks would inflict on the Azure Dragon.

Shen Sanruo's eyes flashed; she couldn't let Qinglong get hurt, and she couldn't let those evil cultivators have their way.

Only after the others stopped attacking did they begin to wonder why she had made them stop.

At this moment, the light from the array above their heads flickered faster and faster, indicating that the trial was about to end and the extermination would begin. If they did not attack, they would only die meaninglessly.

He wanted to ask her, but instead saw her and the snake woman unleash several attacks, negating Song Weiyan's relentless attacks over the past few days.

Because their cultivation levels were higher than theirs, their attacks, though launched later, arrived first, intercepting the Azure Dragon before its unstoppable assault struck.

The process was quick. After she finished, Ye Huai asked, "Junior Sister, why didn't you let us attack the Azure Dragon? Did you make any new discoveries?"

"Yes, the power of this judgment formation comes from the real Azure Dragon. It's a normal judgment formation. The result of our judgment will not be evil, so we won't be strangled." She explained her discovery to everyone.

Others had only heard of Qi Yan's Judgment Formation but had never seen it in person, so they could not judge the difference between the two formations.

Shen Sanruo was extremely fortunate that she had seen the judgment formation summoned by Qiyan.

“That Azure Dragon must be related to the real Azure Dragon. If our attacks land on it, they will also harm the real Azure Dragon, which is why I stopped you.”

She briefly shared her speculations with the group, and they all looked deeply shocked.

"So, we almost joined forces to severely injure the Azure Dragon, or even kill it?" Song Weiyan's expression was unsettled. "Luckily, Junior Sister stopped that attack, otherwise I would have become a sinner in the entire cultivation world."

"Those evil cultivators are truly cunning! They'll stop at nothing to seize control of the cultivation world, setting traps layer upon layer. We almost fell for their schemes," Su Xiyu said indignantly.

They calculated every step of the way, taking into account every single one of their reactions.

It was calculated that those who entered to break the formation were no ordinary people; if they couldn't withstand the attacks of a few stone statues, they would die at their hands.

Even if the stone statue is destroyed with all its might, there is still a real incarnation of the Azure Dragon hidden beneath it.

The evil cultivators made those who entered believe that they had no way out but to die. They were certain that the people would not obediently wait to die, but would use their last strength to pave the way for the cultivation world, thus allowing them to harm the True Azure Dragon as they wished.

No, it's not just about being injured.

Imagine if everyone attacked with all their might, only to find that the Azure Dragon's Judgment Formation did not kill them, but instead the Azure Dragon itself was restricted.

The people who had just escaped death must have been overjoyed. They would have done everything in their power to seize this opportunity to press their advantage against the Azure Dragon and completely destroy it, the key to the formation.

What extent will the True Azure Dragon Society suffer as a result? Judging from the habits of those evil cultivators, they will probably be unable to operate anymore, nor will they be able to protect the cultivation world.

Otherwise, evil practitioners wouldn't bother to go to such lengths to set up these layers of traps.

They would be happy because the formation was broken, but they didn't know that the real Azure Dragon had been seriously injured by them.

As the guardian of the cultivation world, he ruthlessly killed the cultivators who came to save it; yet, the cultivators protected by the Azure Dragon personally sent the Azure Dragon into the abyss.

It's that same old self-destructive drama again. Evil cultivators love to use such insidious and destructive methods, which are truly disgusting.

Fortunately, none of this has happened yet, and it hasn't reached the point of no return.

"But how did those evil cultivators manage to bring this avatar of the Azure Dragon here? Where did the real Azure Dragon go?" Bai Ruoan pondered, stroking her chin. "What did they do to the Azure Dragon that made it attack us as evil cultivators?"

Based on the previous words of the Azure Dragon incarnation, it should have regarded them as evil cultivators. It had already warned them once, and the warning should have been directed at that group of evil cultivators.

Those evil cultivators had contact with the true Azure Dragon, and it's highly likely they had already attacked it, which is why the Azure Dragon's avatar appeared in this formation.

The abilities of those evil cultivators far exceeded everyone's expectations; they had actually extended their evil claws to the Five Divine Beasts ten thousand years ago.

Although they are not powerful enough to kill the Azure Dragon, otherwise they would not have plotted to use them to eliminate the Azure Dragon, but they are still enough to send chills down one's spine.

As they discussed, the judgment formation was also resolved.

Just as Shen Sangruo had said, the light above the formation finally settled on pure white, and the people present were truly as still as could be.

The dazzling white light almost illuminated the entire space.

As if to confirm Bai Ruoan's words, the Azure Dragon, seeing that the judgment formation had no effect, angrily spoke up:

"You evil cultivators, what insidious methods have you used against me! You have even managed to disrupt my judgment formation!"

The Azure Dragon incarnation doesn't seem to be able to see it, not because the judgment formation has been interfered with or failed, but because this is the result of the judgment.

It's obvious that this was the work of heretical practitioners.

They immediately withdrew the judgment array, intending to attack them with various elemental powers as before.

"I will never allow you villains to run rampant in the cultivation world! Today, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"

Upon hearing the words of the Azure Dragon incarnation, everyone's hearts tightened again.

Although they already knew that the Azure Dragon couldn't kill them, the attacks that landed on them caused them to bleed real blood and feel real pain.

"Let's talk this out! We're all on the same side! We're not evil cultivators, you've misunderstood us. It was those evil cultivators who used tricks to bewitch you." Fang Yu waved one hand repeatedly, while the other hand remained hanging limply at his side.

The others also intended to speak up, trying to awaken the consciousness of the Azure Dragon's incarnation.

Unsurprisingly, the Azure Dragon avatar did not react at all, as if it could not hear their words, and began to summon elemental power.

However, several breaths passed, and the Azure Dragon remained in the posture of summoning elemental power.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on the dragon's claws.

"Huh?" Fang Yu exclaimed in surprise and delight.

"What methods did you evil cultivators use to even restrict my power!" The voice of the Azure Dragon avatar was tinged with astonishment.
