"There's a formation around this Purple Maple Forest... We can't enter rashly," Ji Changba said in a deep voice, looking at the scene before him.
When the four Mahayana-level experts arrived at the same time, the formation of the Purple Maple Forest activated on its own under the immense pressure.
Outside the purple maple forest, the sunlight seemed to be gently distorted by an invisible force, forming dazzling curtains of light.
These light curtains, like flowing crystals, refracted countless rays of purple light!
Within the Purple Maple Forest, ancient trees reach for the sky, and faint purple light can be seen flowing among their branches and leaves, reflecting off the light curtain in the air.
The entire purple maple forest seemed to be covered by a dreamy purple veil, breathtakingly beautiful.
Beneath this magnificent scenery, a Mahayana-level formation is in operation.
As the formation was activated, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and time slowed down. An invisible barrier quietly rose, completely isolating the Purple Maple Forest from the outside world.
Even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage would find it difficult to break through the formation easily.
Ji Diaozha snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a giant axe stood horizontally in the sky.
"Break!" With a soft shout, the giant axe crashed down...
The full-force attack of a ninth-level Mahayana cultivator was earth-shattering!
The giant axe in his hand drew a dazzling line of light in the air, as if it would split the entire world in two.
Wherever the axe's blade passed, space seemed to be torn apart, with black cracks swirling and dancing in the air like winding dragons.
The giant axe collided with the purple light, producing a tremendous roar.
The purple light was shattered by the giant axe, but it did not dissipate.
They quickly reformed...
No matter how the giant axe struck, the purple light showed no sign of dissipating.
Even Ji Diaozha, who was as powerful as the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm, was unable to break through the magic array of the Purple Maple Forest!
Yun Che silently observed the formation, then his aura suddenly erupted...
Then it crashed into the formation!
Yun Che's vital energy and spirit were incredibly vigorous, making him seem as if he were at the height of his power.
He was like a blazing sun crashing into the shimmering light of the purple maple forest...
The shimmering light was quickly worn away and began to dim.
Although the purple light had dimmed, it was still struggling to recover.
At this moment, Xuanxiao made his move.
He clapped his hands out, and an unprecedented energy surge erupted instantly.
This energy has almost reached the limit that the Upper Realm can withstand!
It carried boundless pressure and destructive power, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
The moment the palms struck out, countless thunderous sounds seemed to resound in the void, deafeningly loud.
Streaks of purple lightning intertwined and collided in the air, creating a spectacular lightning spectacle.
At the same time, a mysterious power emerged between Xuanxiao's palms. This power was deep black, like a black hole that devoured everything.
It continued to rotate and condense, eventually transforming into a black energy ball that hovered between Xuanxiao's palms.
With a furious roar, Xuanxiao slammed the energy ball forward, sending it hurtling towards the Purple Maple Forest.
The purple lights that guarded the Purple Maple Forest collapsed the moment they came into contact with the energy ball, as if they had been cut by countless sharp blades.
Under the combined attack of Ji Diaozha, Yun Che, and Xuan Xiao, the Mahayana-level magic array in the Purple Maple Forest shattered.
The purple light dissipated, and it seemed that nothing could stop these people anymore...
However, neither Yun Che, Xuan Xiao, nor Ji Diaozha, nor Ji Changba made a move.
It was simply because someone appeared in front of them...
Xia Xiyue, dressed in a flowing, seven-colored robe, stood in front of them.
Her gaze swept over the group, and she slowly spoke, "Ji Diaozha, Ji Changba... how dare your Hehuan Sect invade Zifeng Forest?"
Ji Changba said coldly, "Xia Xiyue, Chu Tianyao killed my son and harmed my Hehuan Sect's Supreme Elder. Today, you, Zifeng Forest, will pay for this blood debt."
Ji Diaozha said coldly, "I have been in seclusion for five hundred years and have reached the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm... Xia Xiyue, you will be removed from the list of the three peaks of the Upper Realm."
Xia Xiyue looked at the two people behind Ji Diaozha, "Xuanxiao, Yunche?" She raised an eyebrow slightly, "Why are you here?"
Xuanxiao, dressed in a long, dark robe, fluttered in the wind, exuding an extraordinary and refined aura.
"Fairy Xiyue, it's been so many years... You've actually reached the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm!"
"However, I am on very good terms with the Hehuan Sect Master Ji... Since Chu Tianyao killed the Hehuan Sect Young Master Ji Buduan, he must pay with his blood."
“Fairy Xiyue, hand over Chu Tianyao, and there may be room for maneuver today.” Xuanxiao said calmly, “We have been equals for many years, and I do not wish to exterminate Zifeng Forest.”
Xia Xiyue did not answer; her gaze turned to Yun Che.
Feeling the other person's attention, Yun Che felt his body become somewhat excited.
He chuckled, "Fairy Xiyue, you're so beautiful... Hahahahahahaha..."
"No female cultivator in the Upper Realm who has set her sights on me has been able to escape." Yun Che's distorted features became even more lewd. "Fairy Xiyue is no exception..."
"I've been eyeing Fairy Xiyue for many years! But Fairy Xiyue's cultivation is too high, and I've never been confident in my ability to win her over."
"Now that Brother Ji from the Hehuan Sect and the Lord of Xuanxiao City are helping us, Fairy Xiyue is probably powerless to turn the tide."
Yun Che's gaze toward Xia Xiyue became extremely ardent. "Legend has it that Fairy Xiyue is still a virgin... Hehehe, I, Yun, am willing to give you some guidance on the path of cultivation in this area."
Xia Xiyue's gaze swept over the four people in front of her, her expression perfectly calm. "Judging from your tone, do you perhaps think you've got me cornered?"
Xuanxiao said calmly, "No matter how high Fairy Xiyue's cultivation level is, she will not have any chance against the four of us working together."
"There's no need for pointless threats. Hand over Chu Tianyao... and I can leave this place."
Of the four Mahayana stage cultivators before him, Xuanxiao was undoubtedly the strongest...
If Xuanxiao withdraws, then Xia Xiyue, Ji Diaozha, and Ji Changba might have a slight chance against Yun Che.
However, Xia Xiyue simply smiled and said, "I have already heard about the Hehuan Sect's matter from Tianyao. The fault does not lie with them; it is the Hehuan Sect's relentless pressure that is being directed at them."
"Tianyao had no choice but to kill Ji Buduan and Ji Yuanzhong... He did nothing wrong, so naturally I will protect him."
Xia Xiyue raised her hand, and a seven-stringed zither radiating brilliance appeared.
This is her Mahayana-stage Dharma instrument, the Azure Heaven Divine String Qin.
"You have come together to invade my sect! Today, Xia Xiyue will show you the price of invading the Purple Maple Forest."
Xia Xiyue's fingertips gripped the strings, and she calmly said, "Come at me all at once!"
