Chapter 169 Send you the last journey
The title of "Holy Son" is used only by the Hall of Rebirth in the entire cultivation world.
Bai Yan's eyelids twitched when he heard the words "Holy Sons." Where did Yun Fuzhao get so many Holy Sons from? Or had the Palace of Rebirth really formed an alliance with her...?
"What are you doing here?" Chang Shen stared at him. "Are you in cahoots with Yun Fuzhao?"
Zhen did not answer directly, but said, "Considering that we both once stayed in the Hall of Rebirth, I advise you not to continue."
Chang Shen was extremely disdainful. He had been present when Zhen was stripped of his status as a Holy Son and expelled from the Hall of Rebirth, and he looked far more pathetic than Chang Shen. "I wonder what gives you the right to speak to me like this?"
He looked Zhen up and down. "If I remember correctly, a holy son who has broken the rules cannot appear in front of the public. You have been hiding for so many years. Are you really going to expose your whereabouts for a small sect today?"
Aren't you afraid those guys from the Hall of Rebirth will come knocking on your door?
Zhen pursed his lips. He naturally knew the consequences of doing so, but, "You also said that I've been hiding for many years. That's right, I, Zhen, have been a rat hiding all my life. I've had enough of this pathetic life."
He bit his finger and drew a talisman in the air, saying, "Today, let this old man indulge himself."
Chang Shen sneered, "Since that's the case, then I'll send you off on your final journey in place of the Hall of Rebirth."
He made a hand seal, and his longsword lunged at Zhen like a water snake. The two spiritual energies collided, and the shockwave spread out, sending several disciples flying.
With Zhen's arrival, the situation at the Boundless Sword Sect turned around. Chang Shen was forced into a series of defeats by him.
Zhen's talismans are incredibly powerful. In the entire cultivation world, there are very few talisman cultivators who can surpass him in their mastery of talismans.
Lan flashed to Zhen's side, and the two began to coordinate, turning the one-on-one situation into a two-on-two duel.
Baiyan's original advantage crumbled under Zhen's attack.
Zhen was also able to distract himself by manipulating some of the talismans to help the weaker disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect, and the situation was temporarily deadlocked.
Bai Yan looked at Xi Mo, "How much longer until it's cracked?"
“Sect Master, this formation is not simple,” Xi Mo wiped the sweat from his face, “It is roughly estimated to be of the eighth grade.”
Bai Yan was getting annoyed. He just wanted to end the battle quickly, so he immediately unleashed his natal technique, Heavenly Net Annihilation. Instantly, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
Dai Junde knew something was wrong and immediately shouted, "All disciples, return to the sect immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples who were barely holding on immediately retreated back to their sect. However, after fighting for a short while, they developed numerous wounds of varying sizes on their bodies.
This battle also made them realize the gap between themselves and the Xuantian Sect.
Many of them had become complacent in their cultivation during this period. When they entered, the Boundless Sword Sect was not yet ranked third, but later the sect rose to the top three through its own efforts, which made them somewhat arrogant.
Especially with so many events before, including celebrations and a day trip to the Demon Realm, some disciples had too much fun and, after being well-fed and clothed, began to indulge in lustful desires, neglecting their cultivation.
Dai Junde deflected Wen Yan's attack and retreated into the sect.
He was seriously injured; his face was as pale as paper, and his snow-white Taoist robe was stained deep red.
As soon as he entered the sect, he collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, and the disciples quickly helped him up.
He looked up at the sky. Lan had exhausted all her strength to block Bai Yan's attack. Zhen knew they couldn't continue, so he dragged the heavily injured Lan back to the sect.
The clash between the two cases has temporarily come to an end.
"Did Yun Fuzhao say when he would be back?" Dai Junde swallowed a hemostatic pill. He looked at the Azure Divine Phoenix circling in mid-air. This divine bird had grown stronger. He was afraid that even if Yun Fuzhao returned, he might not be able to deal with this spirit beast.
The power of a Xuan-rank spirit beast is no joke; once it grows up, no spirit beast in the entire cultivation world can match it.
That's why the Xuantian Sect was in such a hurry to take Yu Nian'er into their sect. With this divine beast's help, no beast tamer could expect to gain any advantage from it.
Song Ying lowered her voice, "Senior Sister Yun said she could arrive as early as tomorrow, and she told us not to act rashly."
Dai Junde nodded. "The formation should hold until she returns."
Bai Yan looked at the disciples hiding behind the formation like turtles, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Elder Xi, please speed things up."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xi Mo dared not reveal the truth.
After observing it, he realized that this formation was probably not just grade eight, but had clearly reached grade nine. Could such a high grade be broken so easily?
It's his fault for underestimating his opponent at the beginning. He didn't expect the Boundless Sword Sect to have such a grand scheme, while the Profound Heaven Sect's formation was only at the eighth grade...
Xi Mo is now in a dilemma. With so many cultivators watching the show around him, if he says that he can't break the pattern, wouldn't that be trampling on the dignity of his status as the number one array master?
He had no choice but to reluctantly agree, "Okay."
Compared to the severe injuries suffered by the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect, the Xuan Tian Sect was in much better condition, with most of its disciples only suffering minor injuries.
Onlookers commented: "I knew it. The Boundless Sword Sect's third-place ranking is utterly undeserved. They're so good at boasting all the time, but when it comes to a real battle, their true strength will be revealed immediately."
"Who can argue with that? It's a good thing they didn't win first place in that sect competition, otherwise the outside world would think that our cultivation world is all at this level."
"Back then, the Xuantian Sect was severely criticized for this, but now it seems like an undeserved disaster."
"Oh no, I never cursed them. Back then, it was this guy who didn't curse the Xuantian Sect."
The disciple gave a thumbs-up.
"Then I have this one too."
"I have never criticized the Xuantian Sect for defeating 90% of the cultivators in the cultivation world."
Baiyan told his disciples to take a short rest.
The Wuya Sword Sect has truly lost face. They were cornered at their own doorstep and didn't even dare to fight back. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the Xuantian Sect has already won.
However, no matter what they said, the disciples of the Sword Sect remained unmoved.
They either healed their wounds or cultivated their skills, completely unaffected by external interference.
Two more hours passed, and the formation showed no sign of being broken.
Bai Yan couldn't wait any longer, so he walked towards Xi Mo, "Elder Xi..."
Xi Mo turned his head, his eyes bloodshot. He said in a voice barely audible, "Sect Master, I'm afraid I can't break this formation..."
Bai Yan was taken aback. "How could this be? It's just a sixth-grade sect-protecting formation..."
“No,” Xi Mo said in a deep voice, “Ninth rank.”
Bai Yan almost lost his composure. "Ninth rank?"
Even their sect doesn't have such a high rank.
His thoughts suddenly became chaotic. If they couldn't break through this formation, how could they possibly get in? Wouldn't his words about avenging the sect's disciples become a joke?
"No, we have to break this formation, whether we like it or not." Bai Yan gritted his teeth. "So many eyes are watching, waiting to see us wreak havoc. At this critical juncture, we have to go for it, even if it means risking our lives!"
Xi Mo thought of something and whispered, "Perhaps we can let them..."
Bai Yan's eyes flashed, then he nodded, "That's the only way."
At this moment, the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect gradually relaxed. The fact that the people from the Profound Heaven Sect could not enter gave them the best chance to catch their breath.
They only need to hold out for one more day until the sect leader returns, then they can launch a counterattack.
