In an instant, Shen Zhenyi, Cynanchum Chinense and the rest broke free from the Envelopment Formation. Under Shangguan Bai's astonished gaze, the four of them appeared in the hall of the Ninth Heaven out of thin air.
Six of the nine Elders had arrived.
Sect Leader Shangguan Bai stood side by side with Elder Fang, who was ranked first. He stared at the four of them with a sinister expression.
The other five Elders each controlled one side. It seemed that they were fighting with the people trapped in the formation — although this method of attack might not be effective in one go, they themselves would not be harmed. Therefore, as long as it lasted for a long time, everyone in the Envelopment Formation would be wiped out.
"You want to destroy the powerful forces around you and unify several forces in one go?"
Shen Zhenyi thought about Shangguan Bai's and the Ninth Heaven's purpose. This seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
Shangguan Bai and Elder Fang looked at each other. They could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"You know too much."
After a long while, Shangguan Bai finally spoke. His gaze swept over Shen Zhenyi. "You can break free from the Envelopment Formation at any time. Is this the power of the Tenth Heaven?"
Shen Zhenyi smiled. "Standing proudly in the Ninth Heaven and bowing to the Tenth Heaven. Since you have seen the Tenth Heaven Order, yet you are still hesitating and doubting, are you not afraid of death? "
"Death?"
Shangguan Bai revealed a strange smile.
"The Tenth Heaven Order has been missing for five hundred years. Of course, we dare not disobey the great Tenth Heaven. But now, we have someone we dare not disobey, someone we need to be loyal to."
Shen Zhenyi understood.
No wonder the people of the Ninth Heaven were still indifferent after he gave them the Tenth Heaven Order. Although he gave them the Cloud Sea Treehouse, neither Shangguan Bai nor Elder Fang came to visit as per their oath.
As expected, five hundred years was too long.
The Ninth Heaven already had a new master.
This was to be expected.
"If the Ninth Heaven goes back on its oath of bowing to the Tenth Heaven, I'm afraid this large sect may not be able to survive."
Shen Zhenyi's tone was calm. It was not a threat, but it was still chilling.
"We can't go back anymore." Shangguan Bai shook his head dejectedly. His body suddenly leaned forward. Unknowingly, a sharp dagger had shot out from his sleeve and suddenly appeared behind Shen Zhenyi, stabbing toward his heart from the back.
True Energy White Feather Transformation!
He was like a white feather, floating in the air, formless and untraceable!
In this sneak attack, Shangguan Bai had fully unleashed all the martial arts he had learned. He also felt that this sword strike was the most beautiful one in his life.
Chi!
The sword pierced his back.
He could feel the pleasant sensation of the blade entering his flesh, but he could also feel the piercing pain in his heart.
What?
Shangguan Bai suddenly came to his senses. He realized that his sword was still pointing forward, but … the tip of the sword was poking out from his heart.
The evil light shone on the tip of the sword, creating a strange sound with the blood.
Shangguan Bai had used all his strength to launch a sneak attack, but he still managed to kill Ji Hao with a single strike.
Shen Zhenyi was still standing in front of him, his white robes fluttering in the wind.
"This is the ultimate skill of the Ten Heavens, Mirror."
Shen Zhenyi sighed. "Actually, this is not the martial arts that I practice. It's a part of the martial arts that generations of the Nine Heavens have painstakingly cultivated. Usually, it won't have any effect, but if you want to attack someone from the Ten Heavens, the effect will appear. "
Shangguan Bai clutched his chest and staggered backward, but he did not feel too much pain. Instead, there was a relieved smile on his face.
"Standing proudly in the Nine Heavens, bowing down to the Ten Heavens! So this is the true essence of it. My life was not in vain when I stabbed with this sword! "
He laughed loudly, his chubby face full of joy.
"Sect Leader!"
Elder Fang hurried over and supported Shangguan Bai. But when he saw the wound, he knew that there was no saving him.
Shen Zhenyi sighed leisurely.
"When I tore open the Inescapable Snare Formation just now, I destroyed a few of the main strands of Sky Spider Silk. I reckon that there are many experts over there and they will be out soon. I'm sorry that I caused your plan to fail. "
Although he said sorry, his tone was not apologetic at all.
As if to prove Shen Zhenyi's words, the few Elders who were controlling the formation groaned together and spat out blood. From the direction of the auction house, the sound of fighting and clashing weapons could be heard immediately.
"Heaven wants me dead!"
Shangguan Bai, who was on the verge of death, sighed deeply. "The people from the Ten Heavens really can't be touched. If it weren't for you, their plan today would have succeeded."
"They?"
Shen Zhenyi bowed slightly, as if he was inquiring.
Shangguan Bai, who was on the verge of death, was not in a hurry to answer his question. He first stood up shakily and bowed deeply to the Elders.
The back of his loose robe was already stained red with blood.
"Today's defeat means that the Nine Heavens will not exist. This is also the result of us offending the Ten Heavens. There was a prophecy 500 years ago, so we can't blame anyone else."
The Elders returned the bow together, but all of them remained silent.
It was as if they had already expected such an outcome.
Only then did Dongfang Bai turn to Shen Zhenyi. He had lost too much blood, and his chubby face quickly sunk, looking very scary. "With the support of the Ten Heavens, the Nine Heavens is as rich as a country. It doesn't need to participate in such things as hegemony, but we can't do anything about it. We've let our ancestors down, so we can't do anything about it."
The plan of the Nine Heavens today was to use the Shala Fritillary Leaf to attract as many masters as possible, and then use the Tight Snare Formation to eliminate them all. After that, the three tribes of Huayang, Jun Tian, and Fang Huai would almost become a vacuum. Then, the disciples would be stationed in the four directions to take over the three tribes, and become a real independent force.
Of course, the Great Moon Empire would not tolerate this, and so would the local sects. They still had to carry out such a plan that was destined to fail, which could only mean that there was a powerful driving force behind the Nine Heavens.
Shen Zhenyi's gaze suddenly turned to the window.
The sounds of fighting outside the window gradually stopped.
The smell of blood was very strong, and dark clouds covered the sky.
"Since you're here, please come in."
Shen Zhenyi said indifferently.
Shangguan Bai's whole body shook, and he subconsciously straightened his body. The Elders stood straight together, forming a horizontal line.
This was a deep-rooted fear.
The other party's method of controlling the Nine Heavens was probably very fierce, which was why it had such a deterrent effect.
"Humph! Shangguan Bai is really a good-for-nothing! "
Accompanied by a reprimand, a man in a black robe floated in from the window — indeed, he floated in without touching anything, like a leaf blown by the wind, just like that, into the room.
