A sliver of confusion appeared on Gongsun Zhi's face. He stared at the pouring rain in outer space and became surprised and doubtful. For a moment, he no longer paid any attention to Hun Zang.
On the other hand, Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun were extremely stern. They had already realised that their worries had finally come to pass. The destruction of the Martial Soul lineage had still led to some unforeseen events that they did not wish to see.
This was because with their cultivation, it was impossible for them to not understand that the sudden rain was the handiwork of a mysterious expert, a peak expert that they had yet to sense at all.
Immediately afterwards, powerful senses of the soul erupted from Sha Yun and Xu Zhiping. They were like primordial beasts as they spread out in all directions. They wanted to find the mysterious expert hiding in the dark.
However, Sha Yun and Xu Zhiping's faces changed very soon. They immediately became extremely stern.
This was because the senses of their souls had been obstructed by a mysterious and powerful force. Even with the strength of their souls, they were unable to break through.
"Oh no, we've been trapped!" Xu Zhiping called out. His face became extremely ugly. He stared at the surroundings with a sunken face, only to see that all the starlight had vanished. A thick layer of dark clouds had formed a huge cage, trapping them inside.
The thing that had obstructed the senses of their souls was the dark clouds.
However, Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun weren't naive enough to think that it was just a 'dark cloud'. This was because there was a terrifying energy fluctuation hidden within the thick dark cloud that made them tremble in fear.
"This is a formation. We've been trapped in a formation." Sha Yun's face darkened. He was the ancestor of the Divine Blade sect, one of the most powerful sects on the Desolate Plane. He was a renowned expert on the Desolate Plane, yet he had been trapped in a formation without a sound. This made him extremely furious.
"Don't worry about that for now. Destroy the Martial Soul lineage immediately," Xu Zhiping growled. Now that he had fallen out with the Martial Soul lineage, he probably would not be able to eat or sleep in peace as long as the Martial Soul lineage was not destroyed.
Although he did not fear the revenge of the Martial Soul lineage as he was alone, Xu Zhiping's clan was great. His clan could not endure the bloody vengeance of the Martial Soul lineage.
Sha Yun also realised the severity of the situation. Although he had no idea why the mysterious expert had suddenly cast down a formation to trap them, the most important matter right now was clearly to completely deal with the threat of the Martial Soul lineage.
When he thought up to there, Sha Yun no longer hesitated. With a jolt of his blade, he directly swung it out with blade Qi.
He had only swung his blade casually, but the sharp and brutal blade Qi split into eight, shooting towards the eight successors of the Martial Soul lineage.
Even though Sha Yun's attack was nowhere near as powerful as Godslayer's sword in Gongsun Zhi's hand, Sha Yun's eight strands of blade Qi seemed to possess a mind of their own. Every single strand of blade Qi locked onto a target's presence, preventing them from dodging or fleeing. It was unlike Gongsun Zhi, who could not even catch a glimpse of his opponent.
Xu Zhiping also stared at Sha Yun's eight strands of blade Qi closely. He needed to restrain the mountain soul as much as he could to prevent the people of the Martial Soul lineage from escaping with it. As a result, he was unable to do anything at all. Their clash with the Martial Soul lineage would be decided here.
"I hope the mysterious expert who cast down this formation has nothing to do with the Martial Soul lineage, or …" Xu Zhiping thought. As he watched the sharp blade Qi rapidly approach him, he felt like his heart had risen to his throat.
Crack!
Suddenly, a shocking bolt of lightning exploded in the starry sky. The entire world abruptly lit up.
Within the thick dark clouds, a series of huge bolts of lightning danced like dragons of light. With resplendent light that caused the world to pale in comparison, they struck Sha Yun's eight strands of blade Qi with indescribable speed, producing a series of muffled explosions.
Sha Yun's eight strands of astonishing blade Qi immediately shattered before the lightning, dispersing into the surroundings. At the same time, the surging energy from the dispersing blade Qi was completely absorbed by the formation.
Xu Zhiping, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, felt his heart skip a beat, and his expression became extremely unsightly.
What he worried about the most still happened. The mysterious expert really did seem to have come for the Martial Soul lineage.
At the same time, on the mountain soul, Chu Jian and the others, who were preparing to use their final move to escape, also raised their heads to look at the sky. Everyone's expressions were grave, and there was also some doubt mixed within.
"T- isn't this …" At the same time, Jianchen forcefully stopped the fusion of the two swords. He stared at the pouring rain and the churning clouds in the distance with a strange light in his eyes. He was extremely surprised and surprised.
He had already recognized this great array and knew who had set it up.
"May I ask who you are? Are you bold enough to show yourself?" Xu Zhiping called out.
Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in the rain. He was surrounded by the power of the clouds and rain, so it was impossible to see his face clearly. All that could be seen was an extremely blurry figure. It was even impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman through the figure.
He just hovered in the rain like that. He seemed to have fused with the rain, yet he also seemed to have fused with the space there. No one could sense his presence at all.
Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun's eyes narrowed. They both stared at the blurry figure as they became sterner and sterner.
As Grand Primes, their senses were even clearer and more direct. From the blurry figure, the two of them felt like he had become the ruler of the world, where he could influence the laws and order of the world unknowingly.
Suddenly, Xu Zhiping's heart skipped a beat. He said sternly, "I know who you are. You're the Rain Abbess of the Cloudsurge Empire from the Delight Plane."
"What? She's actually the Rain Abbess of the Delight Plane? "Sha Yun was surprised.
He had heard quite a lot of rumours about the Rain Abbess. The Rain Abbess' status on the Delight Plane was equivalent to the Celestial Sword Saint on the Desolate Plane. They were both supreme experts that no one could stand up to. They were extremely extraordinary, where they could overwhelm all the peak experts on the plane all by themselves.
As a matter of fact, some people even placed the Rain Abbess of the Delight Plane on the same level as the Celestial Sword Saint of the Desolate Plane.
Both Sha Yun and Xu Zhiping could not help but gasp when they learnt that the person before them was the Rain Abbess. They became extremely cautious.
"I don't want to bully you. You can leave," the Rain Abbess said. She spoke like she was in a superior position. She spoke with an unquestionable tone as if she did not take Xu Zhiping and the others seriously at all.
"Rain Abbess, are you trying to protect the Martial Soul lineage?" Xu Zhiping asked reluctantly. If they spared the Martial Soul lineage, it would be equivalent to causing endless trouble for their Xu family.
