Chapter 346 Formation Kill
This great battle was inevitable. After listening to Ming Cang's instructions, everyone put on their battle armor and robes to prepare for battle, and the atmosphere in the valley became tense.
"Ling Qing!"
Hearing Ye Luo's call, Ling Qing and the others stepped forward. "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Ye Luo's face turned solemn as she instructed, "Your primary task is to protect the young masters. If anything happens to me during the battle, you must take Xi Xi and the others and leave."
"Young Master!" Hearing his words, which sounded like his last, Ling Qing's eyes reddened. "Young Master, let me protect you!"
“That’s right, you can’t be alone!” a guard stepped forward and said, “Why don’t you stay here, Sister Ling… and let your subordinates follow you?”
“No,” Ye Luo sighed. “Half of the guards from the Dragon Palace have been sent out to look for Jun Yi, and I can only feel at ease if you are the only ones protecting me.”
Ling Qing and the guards were taken aback for a moment, then knelt down with a thud and said in unison, "Yes! We will certainly live up to your expectations!"
"Father..." Ye Xi arrived at some point, standing in the distance, tears streaming down her face in fear.
Ye Luo's face was full of heartache. He walked over and picked her up, comforting her, "Xi Xi, don't be afraid. Daddy and Grandmaster are going to fight the bad guys later. So you stay in the cave and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, okay?"
Tears streamed down Ye Xi's face as she hesitated and nodded. "Then Father must come back soon, otherwise Xi Xi will be scared. I don't want to be separated from Father again..."
Hearing his daughter's words, Ye Luo couldn't help but tear up, and he lovingly kissed her forehead. "Okay! Daddy promises you, I will definitely come back!"
"Um!"
"Miss Xi, let's go back." Ling Qing bowed to Ye Luo and left the main hall with Ye Xi.
Ye Luo composed herself and walked toward Cen Feng, who was fiddling with the puppet, and said seriously, "Fifth Senior Brother, you will follow me the whole time."
Cen Feng: "Okay!"
Ye Luo: "Have you repaired all your puppets?"
“Of course.” Cen Feng said with a hint of pride, “I’ve even repaired more than 500 of the puppets I got from the ancient battlefield. It’s just that most of them are small puppets. The large puppets require too many materials, and time is too tight, so I can’t gather enough materials.”
"A small puppet is enough."
What do you want to do?
Ye Luo smiled at him: "It will be very useful. You'll find out soon enough."
"Thump, thump, thump—!"
At this moment, the spirit bell rang in the valley, its melodious and deep sound echoing throughout the valley. All the disciples in the sect gathered in front of the main hall to await orders.
The First Elder gazed at the gloomy sky, where a dark mass of warships was approaching Peach Blossom Valley on the distant horizon. "Alas," he sighed, "the twelve strikes of the spirit bell are a calamity that will wipe out the entire clan. I never imagined that Peach Blossom Valley, which has stood for a thousand years, would be struck down by our generation..."
"Elder, you are mistaken. But I think this is the most inspiring war drumbeat before the great battle!" Yu Qianling was wearing a red light armor and her long ponytail was tied up high, which made her look even more heroic.
"Wow, Third Senior Sister, you look so cool!" Ye Luo looked her up and down and said confidently, "This must be Fourth Senior Brother's doing, right?"
Yu Qianling nodded, "That kid made it for me a long time ago, but I just haven't had a chance to wear it. Today, I'll wear it and fight to my heart's content!"
"alright!"
Ming Cang stood on the steps, looking at the disciples gathered below, and said in a deep voice: "Now is a time of life and death. Since everyone has chosen to stay, I won't say any more pretentious words. Everyone, please be careful in this battle!"
"yes!"
...
Outside the valley.
At this moment, warships filled the sky, and many cultivators riding on swords looked ready to attack at a single command.
Looking at the imminent battle ahead, Nie Song couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This is utterly foolish... I'm afraid so many lives will be wasted."
Shui Yun sneered: "People die for money, birds die for food. Don't you understand what they're thinking?"
Jiang Yunzi, in alliance with several sects, tried to exclude them from joining the war first, simply because he wanted to plunder the resources of Peach Blossom Valley. They all knew this perfectly well.
Yu Xuan stood to the side, watching everything expressionlessly, his tightly clenched fists gradually drawing blood.
Nie Song comforted him, saying, "Xiao Xuan, you must be patient. If you want to become the overlord of a region in the future, you must know how to understand people's hearts, assess the situation, and consider the overall picture. Never learn from those despicable people."
Yu Xuan took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "This junior understands, thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Suddenly, Shangguan Lin beside him caught his breath and exclaimed, "It's about to begin!"
Upon hearing his words, a huge banner was waved at the front of the battle, and the magic array that had been operating on the warship for a long time attacked the smoke-filled Peach Blossom Valley.
Huge fireballs crashed down, creating deafening booms. The barrier surrounding the valley entrance was visibly blasted open, and the mist dissipated, revealing the clear terrain inside.
Looking at the magnificent main hall atop the mountain, and the pavilions and towers in the mountain stream... a look of greed appeared in the eyes of the group of cultivators.
"Kill!" someone roared, and the crowd snapped out of their daze, rushing headlong into the valley. The once quiet valley was now filled with shouts of battle.
"Shut up." Ye Luo stood on the flying fan, looking down at the intruding cultivators below, and said coldly, "This is the last time, get out!"
"Ignorant brat, how dare you be so arrogant!"
"It's Ye Luo, he is the Celestial Spirit Body!!"
At this moment, the crowd erupted in commotion, their eyes filled with terrifying killing intent. "By eating his flesh and blood, I can become a true immortal! Hahaha!"
"He's mine!" With that, a burly man from the Wuhen Sect swung his broadsword and charged forward.
"Get out of my way!"
Seeing the horde of people charging towards them, Ye Luo sneered, "Fifth Senior Brother, let's trap them!"
Cen Feng: "Understood!"
At this moment, the little puppets hidden at the valley entrance emerged from the ground, each carrying a glowing array flag in its mouth, and ran rapidly toward the designated location.
"Clang, clang, clang—!" As the array flags were planted, the drawn magic array instantly took shape, surrounding the cultivators who rushed in.
Ye Luo suddenly flicked her sleeve, summoning a peach blossom-shaped array plate. As she poured spiritual energy into the array plate, it rapidly rotated, instantly sealing the valley entrance once again.
"Damn it, the valley entrance is blocked!"
A look of shock appeared on everyone's faces. This meant that they had no way to be rescued. Several people instinctively tried to run out of the valley, but they were blocked by a solid barrier.
"Forget about the valley entrance, let's break through the formation first!"
"Breakthrough? You're really confident, aren't you?" Ye Luo sneered. "Then let's give you a round and see if you really have the ability!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he used his spiritual power to activate the array plate floating in front of him, and the scene inside the array instantly transformed into a bamboo forest.
The sudden change made everyone look around warily, the bright moon hanging in the sky and the bamboo forest rustling.
It's too quiet.
The silence was eerily quiet.
"Where...where is this?" a female cultivator asked, her voice trembling.
A male cultivator dressed in the attire of a noble family cleared his throat and tried to appear calm, saying, "This should be inside an illusion array. Don't worry, these kinds of arrays are mostly used to trap enemies and have no offensive power at all. We just need to find the array's core and break it!"
But before he could finish speaking, several whooshing sounds came from the air, and a few bamboo leaves instantly slit his throat. Warm, bright red blood spurted out, splattering the face of the female cultivator beside him. She immediately screamed.
"This is a killing formation?!"
"Quickly, use your magic weapons to defend!"
