"Don't forget! This is Zhongzhou territory! We are protected by the laws of Zhongzhou!"
"You dare to use such destructive power here to attack the Awakened Ones of Zhongzhou? You are provoking the entire order of Zhongzhou! You are declaring war on Zhongzhou!"
Zhao Jianan's words were full of threat as he shouted, enunciating each word clearly:
"Once this arrow is fired, there will be no place for you in Zhongzhou!"
However, Li Yu ignored these hurtful words.
The arrow's platinum-gold light did not dim; on the contrary, it emitted a destructive wave due to the extreme compression of energy.
Overwhelming power was ineffective, and Li Yu completely ignored him.
As Li Yu's fingers, which were taut on the bowstring, were about to release it, a hint of panic finally appeared on Zhao Jianan's face, which was full of anger.
He gritted his teeth, filled with intense humiliation and resentment, and angrily threw out his last, and what he believed to be his most effective, trump card:
"Stop!"
"I am an elder of the Zhao family of Jincheng! I am the uncle of General Zhao Deyang of Zhongzhou!!"
Zhao Jianan closed his eyes slightly, his trembling voice filled with the humiliation of being forced to reveal his identity!
It was as if revealing his true identity after their separation was itself an indelible shame and defeat.
"Now you should be satisfied, right? Now, do you still dare to touch me?!" Zhao Jianan looked up at Li Yu, trying to find a trace of fear of his identity or compromise.
However, all he saw was a frozen indifference.
"So what?"
Li Yu's four words, spoken lightly, were like a heavy hammer blow, shattering Zhao Jianan's last psychological defenses and the barrier of pride he relied on to maintain his identity!
"you……!"
Zhao Jianan's eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted with shame, anger, and shock.
"Arrogant brat!"
He had never been so humiliated in his life!
Especially after revealing his prestigious identity as Jin Cheng, a name that could shake the entire Central Plains!
How dare this kid?!
How dare he treat the Zhao family so disregarded! How dare he treat Zhao Deyang so disregarded! How dare he, Zhao Jianan, so disregarded!
When he saw the murderous intent in Li Yu's eyes and couldn't shake off the intense sense of crisis, Zhao Jianan, in a fit of extreme rage, finally tore off all pretense and let out a hysterical roar:
"You little beast! You forced me to do this!!"
He pressed his hands sharply to his sides, as if pulling on some invisible lever connecting him to the ravine below.
An even larger energy fluctuation began to emanate from the depths of the ravine below.
Zhao Jianan immediately turned around and roared at the Changsheng Sect elders who had just recovered from the mental attack not far away:
"Everyone, get over here and form a battle formation! Now!"
Upon hearing this, the elders snapped out of their daze and dared not disobey Zhao Jianan's orders in the slightest, especially since this was a moment of life and death for them.
They quickly closed the distance, positioned themselves behind Zhao Jianan, took up specific points, formed a formation, and poured their immense energy into Zhao Jianan without reservation!
"Eternal Life Locking Heaven Formation, activate!" Zhao Jianan roared, and the mixed energy within his body surged.
Buzz—!
The buzzing sound grew louder and louder, as if a huge, strange beast was awakening.
A unique and surging energy connected with the natural forces of heaven and earth, rapidly condensing into a complex array within the ravine.
"Formation complete!"
As the elders of the Longevity Sect shouted in unison behind them, the crystal cores placed throughout the ravines lit up simultaneously, and the boundless energy flowed like rivers flowing into the sea, frantically pouring into the massive base that had already been set up in the ravines below.
Thick, bluish-gray energy chains, resembling giant pythons, slowly emerged from the ravine array surging with azure light.
These chains, inscribed with the symbol of the Gate of Longevity, exude a contradictory aura that both nourishes all things and imprisons life.
Only then did Zhao Jianan's face finally regain its confident smile of being in control, and he even looked at Li Yu with a hint of pity.
He stood suspended in mid-air, his hands slowly raised as if bearing the weight of the entire formation, his voice carrying a magnificent echo:
"Li Yu! You have every reason to be proud that you enabled us to use the Longevity Gate Grand Formation!"
This [Eternal Life Locking Heaven Array] is an energy hub that the Eternal Life Sect painstakingly built by sacrificing countless lives and efforts, inviting array experts from Jincheng, and expending countless resources, and carefully combining with the terrain of this place.
Of course, this grand formation was not something Zhao Jianan and the old man had just temporarily set up; rather, it was something they had deployed in advance and hidden in the ravines when the Changsheng Sect arrived here.
All they need to do is activate the grand formation once a powerful enemy who dares to provoke the Changsheng Sect arrives, and they can suppress and kill the enemy.
Moreover, the formation doesn't just utilize the energy of a few individuals, but rather the vast energy stored in the formation's energy core beforehand.
It should be noted that the Longevity Sect sends Awakened Ones to replenish the energy of the great formation at fixed times every day, in preparation for any eventuality.
Over time, the accumulated energy has become as deep and vast as the ocean, specifically designed to deal with today's situation!
Faced with this formation, an individual's strength is but a firefly compared to the bright moon!
As long as this formation is activated, even with a huge difference in strength, suppressing powerful awakened individuals and capturing special beasts will be no problem.
It can be said that this grand formation is one of the ultimate trump cards of the Changsheng Sect in dividing its territory!
Zhao Jianan never dreamed that one day he would be forced to use this trump card in the Central Plains, at the gate of the Changsheng Sect!
The first person to use this grand formation at this stronghold was actually him.
But that was the end of it, Zhao Jianan said, his tone filled with arrogance:
"It's all over! Suppress them!"
