Chapter 397: Trapped Ancestors in the Formation
Yellow sand stretched endlessly, with no boundaries in sight. As soon as the Ancestral Masters entered the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, they were immediately met with a sky-covering, earth-shattering wave of yellow sand, howling like ghosts and gods, making it impossible to open their eyes.
The yellow sand carried a strange power, constantly weakening the Ancestral Masters' magic power and cultivation. The Ancestral Masters quickly made hand seals, and protective shields rose around them, their divine light swirling, firmly protecting them.
“This yellow sand can actually weaken our magic power and diminish our cultivation! Truly incredible! No wonder that old fellow Changsheng wanted to use this formation to plot against us. Without a way to break the formation, once trapped inside, we would only be reduced to mortals and turn into withered bones.” Ancestral Master Xuanji felt the strange power in the yellow sand, his eyes full of caution. He turned to look at Monk Haichan, about to ask for a way to break the formation, when suddenly, a familiar voice came from the endless yellow sand:
“Peacock, you lured everyone in. Who will help me restrain that thieving Taoist Changsheng?”
Although the hurricane howled in the yellow sand, the voice overwhelmed the sound of the wind, and the words clearly entered everyone's ears.
Hearing the words in the yellow sand, the Ancestral Masters were immediately shocked, their eyes filled with horror and dread. Those who could cultivate to the level of the Ancestral Masters were not fools. At this time, how could the Ancestral Masters not know that they had been tricked?
Most importantly, this also involved the Innate Peacock, which was simply chilling and unbelievable.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other, a trace of horror in their eyes. Their eyes turned to Monk Haichan, and they saw Monk Haichan flash, turn around without saying a word, and flee into the depths of the yellow sand.
“Catch him! By no means can we let him run away!” Fairy Dongqian's voice was hurried, and she turned into a stream of light and rushed out, closely following Monk Haichan.
The other Ancestral Masters were also not slow, closely following Fairy Dongqian and chasing after her.
After only three breaths of flying, everyone stopped, and they saw Monk Haichan standing beside a small Taoist boy, his voice full of disdain: “Hehe, if you kill them all, only I will be left. If I swallow their good fortune, restore my strength, and kill that evil creature Changsheng, it will be as easy as lifting a finger. Why bother so much?”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Peacock suspiciously: “Can you really kill that thieving Taoist Changsheng? Don't let that thieving Taoist Changsheng kill you.”
Hearing this, the Innate Peacock sneered: “What do you know? How can you understand my methods? As long as I swallow their origins, killing that traitor Changsheng will be a snap of my fingers.”
Hearing these words, Zhang Chen nodded: “Things have come to this, I have no choice but to believe you.”
Just as the two were talking as if no one else was present, the Ancestral Masters on the other side could no longer sit still. Xuanji's eyes were full of caution, and his eyes fell on Zhang Chen: “Everything is your plan behind the scenes?”
Although the voice was a question, it revealed certainty.
Zhang Chen looked at Ancestral Master Xuanji and sighed softly: “It's just an accident.”
He still respected Ancestral Master Xuanji very much. Ancestral Master Xuanji appreciated him, and he kept this kindness in his heart, but the two sides were in different camps, and the angles they considered were different, so they naturally stood on opposite sides.
“Your Excellency has good methods, you even deceived my eyes!” Ancestral Master Xuanji's voice was full of bitterness.
“As long as the Ancestral Master stays out of this matter and does not interfere with this karma, after I complete my plan, I will definitely send the Ancestral Master out unharmed, and then apologize to you, what do you think?” Zhang Chen didn't want to fight Ancestral Master Xuanji. After all, Ancestral Master Xuanji had no grudges against him, and he also appreciated him very much. Zhang Chen had no reason to form a deadly feud with Ancestral Master Xuanji. After all, he was not the kind of ungrateful villain.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Ancestral Master Xuanji shook his head: “You are too arrogant. So many strong people are gathered here. Although you have this great formation as a reliance, it is not certain who will win. Moreover, I am not a greenhorn who has just entered the world. How can I not know your divisive tactics? If I fall for your divisive tactics, you will settle accounts afterward, and I will surely die faster.”
Speaking of this, Ancestral Master Xuanji looked at Monk Haichan: “Who are you? Could it be the Innate Peacock?”
“That's right, it's me!” The Innate Peacock did not hide it and directly reported his name: “You do have good eyes, you can actually recognize this old ancestor.”
Hearing this, everyone in the field gasped, after all, the power of the Innate Peacock in the past was witnessed by everyone present.
Ancestral Master Xuanji said helplessly: “That little Taoist boy just called you 'Peacock', if I still can't guess your identity, I don't have to hang out in the world anymore.”
“Since he is the Innate Peacock, then who are you? Is the little Taoist boy not your true identity? Your Excellency has such methods, and you are on an equal footing with the Innate Peacock, you must not be an ordinary person. Hiding your head and tail and hiding your true identity is not the behavior of a great man, and it is inevitably laughable.” Ancestral Master Xuanji wanted to peek at Zhang Chen's origins, and then come up with a response strategy based on Zhang Chen's origins.
Hearing Ancestral Master Xuanji's words, Zhang Chen smiled softly: “Ancestral Master, don't think too much, I am really just a small Taoist boy from Wuzhuang Temple, and not the great figure you imagine.”
“What a joke! How can a small Taoist boy talk to the Innate Peacock like this? How can he have such a great formation?” Ancestral Master Xuanji's voice was full of mockery.
“You are also strange, why do you say that this great formation is Zhang Chen's, can't it be set up by me?” The Innate Peacock asked suspiciously.
“If you had this ability, you would have used it long ago, why would you be locked in the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror?” Ancestral Master Xuanji said: “Since we took action against you in the past, we have already deduced all the information about you, and we have mastered all kinds of methods on your body one by one. It can be said that we know you better than you know yourself.”
Hearing this, the Innate Peacock couldn't speak. The Xuanji Ancestral Master in front of him was indeed an existence who played with the secrets of heaven. His thinking was so clear and meticulous that it was chilling.
Fulu Ancestral Master sighed softly: “It seems that we have wronged Daoist Changsheng, it turns out that everything is the ghost of this little Taoist boy.”
“Daoist Changsheng is also deeply trapped in the maze, and has been calculated by this kid.” Immortal Moonlight said.
Zhang Chen looked at Immortal Moonlight, and saw that Immortal Moonlight was like a young girl of sixteen or seventeen, wearing a layer of halo-like light, looking holy and cold, quite like a goddess.
“Boy, can we call it quits?” Ancestral Master Xuanji looked at Zhang Chen.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhang Chen smiled bitterly: “Things have come to this, how can there be any reason to call it quits? If I call it quits, the Ancestral Masters will definitely not spare me after leaving the great formation.”
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Ancestral Master Xuanji only sighed: “I misjudged you, it is destined to have today's calamity.”
The aura around Dongxuan Ancestral Master was constantly surging: “Boy, our eight 'fruit' realm masters are gathered in one place, although you have a great formation to rely on, you may not be our opponent! If the eight of us join forces, this great formation may not be able to trap us!”
Hearing Dongxuan Ancestral Master's words, Zhang Chen sighed faintly: “The Ancestral Masters only need to take action, if you can break through the great formation, it is because I am not capable enough, it is destined to meet today's calamity. If you fall in the great formation, it is also because you are not as skilled as others, and it is time for your death and disappearance, don't blame me.”
“Kill! Kill this kid, the great formation will naturally break open!” Fulu Ancestral Master suddenly launched a sneak attack, his palm stretched out, with mysterious aura circulating around, passing through the endless yellow sand, and grabbing towards Zhang Chen.
As long as he catches Zhang Chen, the master of the formation, the great formation will collapse in an instant. Fulu Ancestral Master's idea was not wrong, but Zhang Chen was not a fool, how could he stand there stupidly and let the other party catch him?
In the next moment, Zhang Chen turned into yellow sand and collapsed in Fulu Ancestral Master's hands, and the Innate Peacock saw that the opportunity was not good, and had already rushed into the endless yellow sand first, leaving only a colorful halo of his back.
Zhang Chen suddenly disappeared, and several people immediately realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, the power of the great formation rolled, and the power of the great formation began to rise steadily. Various powerful energies vibrated, and the power of weakening the Taoism suddenly increased by a hundred times.
The Ancestral Masters changed their colors suddenly, but they heard Xuanji Ancestral Master say: “This great formation is very fierce and cannot be stayed for a long time. We still need to join forces to break this great formation together. If there is any hesitation, I am afraid that our cultivation will turn into flowing water, and we will be killed by that kid in the great formation.”
“Xuanji, you are proficient in the deduction of heavenly secrets, and you have mastered various exquisite laws such as the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Can you deduce the mystery of this great formation?” Immortal Moonlight's eyes looked at Xuanji Ancestral Master.
Hearing this, Xuanji Ancestral Master shook his head: “This place is full of yellow sand, and that strange power fills the entire universe. How can I have the ability to see through the foundation of the great formation? If you want to break this great formation, only we can work together to bombard one place of this great formation. If we can collapse the great formation, we can naturally break out of the formation. If we cannot collapse the laws of the great formation, I am afraid that we will have no place to die, and we will all have to explain it here today.”
Feeling the increasingly powerful wind and sand, and the faster and faster disappearance of the Taoism on his body, Dongxuan Ancestral Master's voice was full of urgency: “Fellow Daoists, don't hold back, let's take action together to bombard the great formation and break the innate great formation in front of us.”
“That's right, take action together, bombard the great formation!”
The rest of the Ancestral Masters echoed in unison.
As the words of the Ancestral Masters fell, Dongxuan Ancestral Master took out an iron tower from his hand, the Three Immortals of the Overseas each held a copper ring, the Xuanji Ancestral Master sacrificed a tortoise shell, and Fairy Dongqian held a white Lingduan, Immortal Moonlight appeared a bronze mirror in her hand, and the Fulu Island Ancestral Master was the most peculiar, and three groups of light appeared in his hand. The three groups of light represented the laws of Fulu Shou, and there were runes flashing inside, which did not look like ordinary means.
As everyone shouted in unison, the supernatural powers in their hands bombarded one place of the great formation.
