"Oh no, it's an attack on the soul. Everyone focus immediately. Don't listen!" Changyang Qing Yun returned to his senses very quickly and immediately bellowed out. He wanted to use his voice to suppress the sound of the zither and awaken the affected clansmen, but the effects were minimal. Only a few of the stronger Saint Rulers resisted as hard as they could. The weaker Saint Rulers, Heaven Saint Masters, and even weaker clansmen were all affected by the sound of the zither. Their eyes became blurry and they became drowsy. A large group of people had even collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
"The Heavenly Enchantress!" Jianchen shook his head. He was overjoyed. Although he could not see her, he could guess her identity from the unique sound of the zither.
The wondrous effects of the zither music became more and more evident. Gradually, the Heaven Saint Masters were unable to endure it any longer and collapsed on the ground in droves. In the end, even a few Saint Rulers followed in their footsteps, falling unconscious.
In the blink of an eye, the people who had been charging towards the three hundred and sixty formation cores had all fallen asleep. Even though the Origin Formation was very powerful, without the support of three hundred and sixty people, the formation would not be able to operate.
The faces of Changyang Qing Yun and the others paled. They all gritted their teeth as their bodies trembled. Their hatred for the Heavenly Enchantress had reached its limit. They were just about to activate the Origin Formation and use its power to kill off all the invaders. Not only would they be able to eliminate Jianchen, but they would also be able to obtain the Saints' Fruit. However, someone had ruined their plan at such a crucial moment, which made them want to vomit blood from anger.
The sound of the zither did not stop. Instead, the magic within the music rapidly strengthened. In the end, even the strongest Saint Rulers could not endure it any longer and collapsed on the ground with a plop.
Now, there was no one left standing on the floating continent. Only a few Saint Kings remained unscathed in the huge Changyang clan as well as You Yue, who was hiding in the Bright Moon Divine Hall. The sound of the zither was unable to penetrate the seemingly thin barrier of light at the entrance of the divine hall.
At this moment, the Encirclement Formation of the eighteen divine halls vanished. The eighteen Saint Rulers in the main divine hall tumbled out, falling from the sky like rocks. Their eyes were tightly shut, having fallen unconscious.
Changyang Yuan Zhenghua, who stood on the highest divine hall, stared at this scene in shock. Disbelief filled his face while the eighteen stone tablets slowly revolved around him. Although he could use the eighteen stone tablets to control the halls, he could not use them to form the Encirclement Formation. This was because each divine hall needed a Saint Ruler to watch over it in order to form the Encirclement Formation.
"How can this be!" Changyang Yuan Zhenghua said in a daze. Just a single zither note had reduced a protector clan to such a miserable state. He struggled to accept this.
The great protector clan of the Changyang Prefecture was one of the ten most powerful clans on the continent. They possessed several Holy Emperor experts, several dozen Saint Rulers, and many Heaven Saint Masters, yet they had all been defeated by a single tune.
No matter how great the heritage of the protector clan was or how many trump cards they possessed, it was all useless before the tune. This was because they were unable to resist a zither note that targeted the soul. At the same time, the zither note could penetrate all obstructions and reach the depths of the mountains. It was useless even if they covered their ears.
In the blink of an eye, the Changyang Prefecture that had gained the upper hand and was on the verge of victory had been turned around by a zither note that seemed to have originated from outer space. They were headed toward defeat.
The massive Origin Formation floating in the void had also disappeared. Without anyone to support the formation's three hundred and sixty formation cores, the Origin Formation's powerful might could not be unleashed. If it continued to exist, it would only continue to drain the Origin Qi of this small world.
"What's going on outside?" You Yue stood in the Bright Moon Divine Hall as she stared at everything that had happened outside in shock. She was filled with doubt. The divine music coming from the void had been isolated by the light screen formed by the moonlight in front of her. The sound of the zither could not enter, so she naturally did not know what had happened outside. She only saw large numbers of people falling to the ground.
Honglian regained her freedom and the flames around her immediately surged, forming a huge sea of fire that enveloped her. Her figure flickered in and out of the sea of fire, making her seem like a god of fire. Her wounds rapidly healed as well.
Honglian arrived before the four Holy Emperor experts in the scarlet flames. She coldly stared at them and coldly said, "I'd like to see just what you're capable of to fight me now."
Changyang Qing Yun and the other three great elders had become completely pale. They were great elders of a protector clan, yet they had actually been humiliated by the enemy in their own territory. This was a vicious slap to their faces, but there was nothing they could say about it.
Right now, the only thing they could use to threaten Honglian was the Emperor Armament. However, even if they used the Emperor Armament to fight Honglian to the death, they would not be able to achieve victory in a short amount of time. As time went on, they would not be able to last much longer and might even end up dying from the backlash of the Emperor Armament.
"If the Emperor Armament's full power can be used, only death awaits you even if you have the protection of the origin energy armor," Long Zhenhua finally managed to hold back his anger. After quite a while, Changyang Yuan Zhenghua finally said something. Protector clans were proud, and their dignity could not be sullied. Changyang Yuan Zhenghua did not want his clan to lose to a Saint King.
Changyang Qing Yun's gaze was cold.
He stared at Honglian, who was bathed in flames, and coldly snorted, "I really don't know what benefits Jianchen has given you to make the proud experts of the Divine Phoenix clan and the emperors of the Dragon clan abandon their dignity and serve him time and time again, becoming the lackeys of a brat still wet behind the ears." Changyang Qing Yun's voice was filled with naked mockery.
Honglian's gaze turned cold. At this moment, her and Jianchen's faces changed at the same time. They had received Ruijin's message. His secret technique was about to be completed, and he wanted them to leave immediately. Otherwise, they would be trapped in the miniature world.
Honglian and Jianchen did not hesitate at all. They returned to the Bright Moon Divine Hall as quickly as possible, and the divine hall immediately left the miniature world. Without the obstruction of the Bright Moon Divine Hall, the World Gate in Changyang Prefecture rapidly closed up. Just as the World Gate was about to close up, Changyang Qing Yun charged out with extreme speed. He already knew why Ruijin wanted to seal up Changyang Prefecture.
A red feather refined from a special material appeared in Honglian's hand once again. It was filled with the surging power of fire.
Swish! The feather shot into the two-meter-wide World Gate as a red streak of light before loudly exploding. It blocked Changyang Qing Yun inside. Just when the flames were about to spread to the outside world, the World Gate had completely closed.
"Nine Dragons Trap the Heavens, Seal!"
At the same time, Ruijin bellowed out. Nine huge dragons charged out from the nine stalks of Dragon's Saliva Grass. Every single one of them was a hundred meters long and illusionary. They had been condensed from the vast amounts of vital energy within the Dragon's Saliva Grass.
The nine illusory dragons faced the sky and issued a soundless dragon roar. They tumbled in the air and finally collided with each other. The nine huge bodies finally condensed into a golden dragon pearl the size of a human head. It floated in the air and emitted a dazzling radiance. Then, it slowly disappeared. It had already sealed the space of this area.
Ruijin exhaled deeply. He seemed rather exhausted. Clearly, using the secret technique to seal up Changyang Prefecture had taken him quite a lot of effort.
"It's finally done. As long as the power of the dragon pearl doesn't disperse in the future, the people in Changyang Prefecture won't be able to come out," Ruijin said as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
Jianchen and Honglian arrived before Ruijin. Jianchen asked, "Senior Ruijin, roughly how long can this seal last?"
Ruijin pondered for a moment before replying, "The power of the dragon pearl is limited, and it cannot be replenished. Under normal circumstances, it can last for a hundred years, but the people inside will definitely use everything they have to destroy the seal, which will increase the consumption of the pearl's power. As a result, I'm not sure how long it can keep them sealed for, but it can keep them trapped for a few years at the very least, or even longer."
"Senior Ruijin, can't we use the same seal again when they're about to break the seal?" You Yue had already put the Bright Moon Divine Hall away. She stood beside Jianchen and asked.
Ruijin shook his head, "You don't know, but the nine stalks of Dragon Saliva Grass I used to seal up Changyang Prefecture were left behind by a senior of the dragon clan who had reached the level of the Holy Emperor. Every single dragon will only leave behind a stalk of Dragon Saliva Grass after they die. My clan has already vanished for far too long, so there are only around a dozen stalks left in the tomb. I've used nine of them this time, so there's no longer enough left to use the same secret technique. "
Jianchen and You Yue were both disappointed. They both understood that once the power of the dragon pearl used up, Tie Ta's identity would spread across the Tian Yuan Continent and the Beast God Continent. At the same time, he would suffer the swift retribution of Changyang Prefecture.
Although they could keep Tie Ta's identity a secret as long as they killed all the people in the clan, it was clearly impossible for them to do so.
Jianchen looked around a few times. At the same time, he expanded the senses of his soul in an attempt to find the Heavenly Enchantress, but he was disappointed. Even when he expanded the senses of his soul to the limit, he failed to find her.
