He was speaking for a moment when his expression changed. Suddenly, a purple light emanated from Qiu Honglei's body, which knocked his hand away. In that instant, his hand became somewhat charred, and there was even a faint smell of meat in the air.
"Lightning Talisman!" Chi Fuzi, a master of array runes, immediately realized what it meant, and was extremely shocked. The skill of this talisman seemed to surpass even his own.
At this moment, Qiu Honglei appeared beside Zu An: "Ah... Master, you are indeed a genius! This guy is really suspicious!"
At this moment, the others around Akaburiko scattered, looking at him with some fear, unable to understand why he would suddenly make a move.
In that situation where the odds were so stacked against him, he was willing to come and support Leader Yun. How come he has turned against him now that the outcome has been reversed?
Chi Fuzi ignored everyone else and stared intently at Zu An: "You knew from the beginning that I had a problem?"
“That’s right. In that situation just now, even Venerable Heaven and Earth and Venerable Free and Unfettered had voted for me, but you stood on my side without hesitation. That’s really illogical,” Zu An replied calmly.
Both Heavenly Venerable and Carefree Venerable had a burning sensation on their faces, indicating that their condition had not escaped the notice of these two sect leaders.
"Aren't there still so many people who choose to stand on your side?" Akabukko found it hard to understand.
“Those people are different from you. They are still young and have some youthful passion left in their bones. But you are the sect leader, and your every move is related to the rise and fall of the sect. Even if you really prefer me, you would not risk the destruction of the entire sect to stand on my side.” Zu An patted Qiu Honglei’s shoulder and helped her straighten her wrinkled clothes.
"Just because of that?" Akabukko looked at him as if he were a freak; how could this man be so suspicious?
“Of course it’s not just that,” Zuan smiled. “Have you forgotten what you said when you were defending against the armor-piercing arrows from those soldiers outside? You said that because you came to attend a wedding, you didn’t bring many magical treasures and materials with you, which is why you couldn’t maintain the defensive shield. But how could a cultivator not carry those magical treasures with him, especially in a dog-eat-dog environment like the Holy Sect?”
Li Feiqing, Hu Pangzi, and other younger disciples nodded in agreement, secretly admiring him. The leader was indeed the leader; he saw right through the old man's half-hearted efforts. We were all moved to tears by him back then.
"Not bad, it's impressive that you could see through my true identity. But did you expect that I had made preparations from the beginning?"
As soon as Chi Fuzi finished speaking, an array plate appeared in his hand and spun rapidly. Then, the entire Yin-Yang Path was enveloped by a golden light shield.
The top of the light shield revealed the sun, moon, and stars, but these stars did not look beautiful. Instead, they were all unusually large, giving people a sense of fear of giant objects.
At this moment, Chi Fuzi appeared outside the formation carrying Lu Sanyuan and laughed loudly: "I set up the Fallen Star Formation here half a month ago. Now, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will be blasted into dust by countless meteorites."
"You actually mastered the legendary Falling Star Formation!" Venerable Xiaoyao and Venerable Tiandi were both shocked. Perhaps the younger disciples didn't know, but how could they, with their status, not know about this legendary forbidden formation of the Hidden Sect?
Legend has it that in ancient times, someone used this formation to trap the army of gods and demons, and then countless powerful figures were ground to dust within this formation.
The two could no longer remain calm and rushed out, unleashing all their best skills. Unfortunately, no matter how they attacked, the surrounding light barrier remained as solid as a rock, only to be met with a mocking smile from Chi Fuzi.
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but say, "Uncle-Master Chi Fuzi, why did you betray Master by following Lu Sanyuan? Master has treated you with great courtesy all these years. Guiyin Sect has resources and status. Can that Lu fellow give you even more?"
"The reasons behind this are too complex to explain in just a few words," Chi Fuzi said, clearly unwilling to respond, and looked at Zu An. "You didn't expect this, did you? You could have predicted what happened half a month ago, could you?"
“I certainly couldn’t have predicted that long, but it’s not necessary.” As Zuan spoke, an array plate appeared in his hand. He pulled out a few small flags from it and placed them in other places. The increasingly oppressive stars above his head gradually receded and finally disappeared along with the entire golden light shield.
"How is this possible!" Chi Fuzi's eyes widened. His trump card formation had been broken just like that?
Zuan smiled and said, "When I came in earlier, I noticed that there seemed to be a formation set up here, so I tampered with it a bit."
Back on Purple Mountain, even someone as strong as Zhao Hao was ambushed by a hidden formation. Now he is extra careful in this regard. In addition, he has learned the "Baopu Zhenjing" and is on guard, so it is almost impossible for others to ambush him in this way.
Chi Fuzi stared intently at him: "You're a formation master, there's no way Master Yun would know about this. Who exactly are you? Could you be Yan Xiangu from the National Academy?!"
