Chapter 184 - Formation
The fairy mist lingering in the corridors is like the warm and affectionate veil of the Immortal Alliance, which cannot conceal the undercurrents and murderous intentions surging underneath.
Chu Linyuan and Xie Zhao walked side by side, ignoring the resentful gaze of Elder Jin Yan behind them that was almost spitting fire, and walked straight through the luxurious corridor towards the towering exit of the Hall of Immortals.
Outside the palace, on the white jade square, all kinds of flying boats and magic weapons were still shining brightly, but the atmosphere was completely different from when they first came.
Many monks who seemed to be chatting casually locked their eyes on the two of them, either explicitly or implicitly, like sharks smelling blood.
There was a silent, tense hostility in the air.
"Brother, this farewell is quite a grand occasion." Xie Zhao's Jinghong Talisman Pen twirled slightly in his sleeve. His peach blossom eyes glanced around casually, a hint of an icy smile playing on the corners of his mouth. "It seems that this meal from the Immortal Alliance is indeed difficult to digest."
Chu Linyuan's icy eyes swept across those malicious gazes as if they were real. The dark golden dragon pattern on his left cheek seemed even more profound and unfathomable under the bright sunshine of the fairy mountain.
He did not say a word, but the aura around him, which was as deep as the abyss and yet as sharp as an icy blade ready to be fired, spread out silently, forcing back all those probing and oppressive gazes.
The two walked without stopping, heading straight for the "Guixu" docked at the edge of the square. The ship was completely black and out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Just as they were about to step onto the deck—
"Brother Chu! Second Brother!" Su Tang's voice, abruptly transmitted through the Star Induction Order, suddenly echoed through Chu Linyuan and Xie Zhao's minds simultaneously! "At least two teams of Immortal Alliance secret guards! Led by Yu Jizi of the Lingxiao Sword Sect and the Xuanming Taoist of the Wanfa Sect! Both are in the early stages of the Spiritual Transformation Realm! Senior Mo Chen said they've set up the 'Locking the Sky and Severing the World' formation! They're trying to catch the turtle in the jar!"
Almost at the same time!
Buzz——!!!
An invisible yet vast and powerful force of space confinement, like a huge, invisible cage, instantly enveloped the entire outer airspace of Lingxiao Immortal Mountain!
The flowing clouds and rosy clouds in the sky seemed to be frozen, and the aura of all the flying boats and magic weapons dimmed a little in an instant!
Locking the sky and breaking the boundary! The Immortal Alliance is determined to keep them!
Chu Linyuan stepped onto the deck without any hesitation, as if he had expected it.
His cold eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife, stabbing in the southwest and northeast directions!
Beneath the black robe on his left arm, the dark golden dragon pattern twisted like a living thing, emitting a violent murderous aura!
The coldness in Xie Zhao's peach blossom eyes instantly turned into a leaping flame. Instead of showing any fear, he revealed an extremely excited and evil smile!
"Locking the sky and breaking the boundary? Catching turtles in a jar? These old turtles of the Immortal Alliance only know these cheap tricks?" His Jinghong Talisman Pen instantly slid into his palm, and the tip of the pen flashed with golden light! "Want to play with the formation? I'll play something exciting with you!"
The "Guixu" let out a low roar, and a light of dark blue and dark gold flowed from the dark hull. Like a awakened ferocious beast, it suddenly tore through the confined space and rushed towards the southwest Kunlong Gorge!
It is one of the only ways to leave Lingxiao Fairy Mountain and is also the most likely direction for an ambush!
"They are coming! Activate the formation!" Deep in Kunlong Gorge, a middle-aged cultivator named Yu Jizi, wearing the clothes of Lingxiao Sword Sect, with a stern face and a long sword on his back, shouted coldly!
He made a gesture with the sword in his hand, and several sword cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage behind him simultaneously injected powerful sword energy into the center of the pre-arranged formation!
Buzz——!!!
From the cliffs on either side of Kunlong Gorge, countless brilliant sword beams shot up into the sky, interweaving into a vast, unparalleled sword net! Runes swirled above the sword net, emitting a terrifying aura that could slice through space and strangle everything! It was one of the Lingxiao Sword Sect's signature killing formations—the Ten Thousand Swords Locking Sky Killing Formation!
At the same time, in Luoxingping in the northeast direction, the old Taoist Xuanming of Wanfa Sect also activated the formation with a grim smile!
Countless giant, ochre-colored stalagmites erupted from the ground, forming a terrifying jungle of giant rocks. Each stalagmite was incredibly heavy, emanating the power of the law of confinement and repression! At the same time, a chilling, dark air permeated the air, freezing spiritual energy and the soul!
Two great masters who had reached the state of spiritual transformation, led the elite secret guards and, with the help of a powerful formation arranged in advance, vowed to completely capture the black ship of Guixu Sect and the two people on it!
"Guixu" was like a black meteor, crashing into the sword net of Kunlong Gorge!
Chichichichichi——!!!
Countless sharp sword lights cut through the dark hull, causing harsh friction sounds and brilliant sparks!
The hull vibrated violently, and the dark blue and dark gold light on the surface flashed wildly. Luo Hongyi's poisonous coating and Xie Zhao's reinforcement runes were cut off layer by layer!
But the ship, forged from three layers of Abyssal Black Rock, solidified with Chenji Star Sand, and powered by Dragon Evil, was far stronger than the Immortal Alliance had anticipated! It actually withstood the first wave of sword net attacks!
"Brother! Steady the boat! Give me three breaths!" Xie Zhao stood at the bow of the violently tossing boat, his Jinghong Talisman Pen bursting with an unprecedentedly brilliant golden light! There was no more playfulness in his eyes, only the cold calculation and the absolute confidence of a Talisman Master!
Chu Linyuan stepped onto the core drive groove of the hull and pressed down hard with his left palm!
“Roar!” A deep dragon roar echoed from his body! The black robe on his left arm instantly exploded, and the ferocious dark golden dragon pattern was completely activated. The vast and majestic dragon power was injected into the “Guixu” without reservation!
The entire black ship groaned under the weight, yet it managed to stabilize itself amidst the raging sword net, like a reef in a torrent!
Xie Zhao's Jinghong Fu brush shot through the air with such speed! The brush moved like a dragon and a snake! It was so fast that it left a trail of afterimages!
He was not attacking the sword formation, nor was he defending. Instead, in the void, he used his own pure power of the origin of talismans mixed with the warm protective thought of the soul-guiding lamp in his heart to outline extremely complex, twisted, light pink and gold runes that exuded a strange and charming aura!
These runes were like living vines, instantly immersed in the surrounding violent sword light and formation energy. Like the most cunning parasites, they rapidly spread, penetrated, and transformed along the energy veins of the Ten Thousand Swords Locking the Sky Formation!
"What is he doing?!" Yu Jizi, standing at the center of the Kunlong Gorge formation, frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He had never seen such a strange talisman before. It didn't look like an attack, nor did it look like a defense...
"Who cares! They're at the end of their strength! Increase your spiritual power output! Crush them!" The voice of the old Taoist Xuanming came through the communication array. The boulder jungle of Luoxingping and the cold air of Xuanming pressed towards the "Guixu" even more violently!
However, just as the Immortal Alliance's secret guards were frantically activating the formation and pouring their spiritual power into the center of the formation without reservation—
The light of the sword nets, infiltrated by Xie's talisman, suddenly became hazy and ambiguous! The sharp sword energy seemed to transform into soft silk, and the cold murderous intent was replaced by a hot, heart-racing and charming atmosphere!
“Hmm…?” A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Lingxiao Sword Sect, who was injecting sword energy into the center of the formation with all his strength, suddenly looked at his fellow disciple beside him with a dazed look.
In his eyes, the usually serious and old-fashioned senior brother had turned into a stunning fairy wearing a light gauze, with eyes full of spring water, skin whiter than snow, and smiling sweetly at him!
