Meanwhile, in a magnificent Taoist temple, Master Fang, dressed in a purple robe, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.
"Your Excellency, what's wrong?"
The young disciple protecting the hair below noticed that the Venerable One's expression was not quite right, and stepped forward tremblingly to inquire.
The Venerable One abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief: "The magic array in Jiangyuan City is about to be broken."
Master Fang gritted his teeth, staring at the light in the doorway, his eyes filled with hatred, but he muttered to himself, "Are these Taoist priests out of their minds? How dare they..."
After saying this, Master Fang fell silent and then asked, "Has the disciple who went to check on the situation in Jiangyuan City not returned yet?"
Before the disciple beside him had returned, a disciple dressed in black robes stumbled in through the door. Before he could catch his breath, he knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "Your Excellency, something terrible has happened! Almost all the Celestial Masters from the Celestial Masters Association have arrived in Jiangyuan City. I don't know who came up with the idea of splitting up to break the formation, but now all the Celestial Masters have started to break the formation. We've tried to attack, but they're all surrounded by police. We can't easily get close. Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
Upon hearing this, Master Fang's expression grew even more unpleasant.
Master Fang's mind raced, and he quickly stood up and said, "Have your disciples keep an eye on things. I'll go over there immediately. We absolutely cannot let these Celestial Masters succeed!"
Jiangyuan City was his last chance of success.
Master Fang glanced at his fingers, which had turned into withered branches, and then clenched his fist tightly.
——
In Jiangyuan City, each magic array center is guarded by specially arranged guards.
Drones or people are prohibited from scouting the area. If any are discovered, the police will immediately investigate and hold them accountable.
Six hours had passed since the Celestial Masters began breaking the formation. In winter, it gets dark quickly; just a few minutes after six o'clock in the afternoon, it suddenly became dark.
There are only twenty-odd hours left in the three-day period.
Everyone stared at the Celestial Masters sitting inside the Bagua formation. No one dared to disturb them, and no one dared to ask how much longer it would take.
Time passed second by second, and the sky grew darker and darker.
The guards have been rotated in shifts, but the Taoist priests breaking the formations in various places remain motionless.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Will this work?"
"It would be best if it could work, but what if it can't? These people have done their best, and so have we. Life and death are up to fate."
If they succeed, all will be well, but if they fail, are we supposed to blame these Taoist priests?
Whose life isn't a life?
Gradually, no one spoke anymore.
Several more hours passed, and dawn was breaking. The sky began to lighten, and a fiery red sun rose on the horizon.
bite--
Another ringing sound rang out, and everyone looked inwards towards their respective formations.
Poison Village —
Huo Yinghuai and Gu Fangchi both heard the sound and looked up.
Wen Li, Su Wanwan, and the others had been sitting in the magic array for almost a day, without eating, drinking, or moving. The two of them were doing the same.
Upon hearing the voice coming from within the formation, the two stood up and walked towards it.
Within a few seconds, the people inside the formation opened their eyes one after another.
Just then, one of the old celestial masters suddenly changed his expression and coughed up blood, his silvery-white beard glistening with bright red blood.
Wen Li opened her eyes: "Senior, are you alright?"
The old celestial master's face was as white as jade. Upon hearing this, he suddenly smiled and replied in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing. It's just a matter of losing a few years of my lifespan. Now that the formation is about to be completed, even if it costs me my life, it's worth it!"
Having said that, the old Celestial Master exerted force with his legs and stood up directly from the formation. He focused his mind and his hoarse voice was full of power: "The universe shifts, yin and yang reverse, heaven and earth are overturned, and all things return to their origin!"
Shortly after the old master finished speaking, he summoned the bronze mirror in front of him, and his body was instantly covered in blood.
The others followed suit, throwing out their magical artifacts. Except for Wen Li and Su Wanwan, who were highly skilled, everyone else did the same.
But neither of them fared much better.
The universe is reversed, with the Bagua plate as the central foundation and the Qian and Kun trigrams as the core, drawing upon the remaining spiritual energy within the dragon vein to reverse the universe and invert Yin and Yang.
Wen Li's face grew paler and paler.
When everyone unleashed their magical artifacts at the same time, the dawn that was about to break was instantly obscured by dark clouds.
Beneath the dark clouds, an enormous Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation reappeared, pressing down on the ground with an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if it were crushing the heavens and earth.
It's done!
Everyone looked at the area above the Qiankun hexagram plate, which was emitting a soft glow, and tears welled up in their eyes.
Wen Li wiped the blood she spat out with her hand, her eyes still filled with joy.
The heavy weight on Huo Yinghuai's heart finally lifted. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a black lightning bolt hurtling towards them from afar. His heart clenched as if it were being squeezed: "Wen Li, be careful!"
Wen Li glanced at the horizon subconsciously, her pupils contracting.
It was too late to react; the black lightning bolt struck the Bagua diagram with a thunderous crash.
Wen Li looked up and saw faint cracks appearing on the surface, as if it were about to break.
Wen Li's pale lips trembled slightly. Almost without thinking, she formed a hand seal and shouted, "Moonlight shines on white feathers, clarity is certain... Seal!"
Seeing that the Bagua Formation was about to break, Wen Li reacted quickly, and the Bagua Formation instantly emitted a soft, milky white light, repairing the formation at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the matter did not end there. Wen Li looked up and saw hundreds of black teardrops rushing in all directions.
"not good!"
Their magic array can protect them, but other celestial masters' magic arrays won't be so lucky if struck by black lightning.
Su Wanwan reacted extremely quickly, scattering hundreds of talismans in her hands. She formed hand seals, and several streaks of milky yellow lightning and black lightning soon appeared in the sky, intertwined together.
Su Wanwan looked at Wen Li and quickly said, "Little Pear, my Heavenly Lightning can hold out for a while. I'll guard this place. You go and deal with that damn Master Fang!"
