Following that, dense blue dots of light appeared from within the black cloud. With a muffled sound, they combined to form an extremely thick blue curtain of light. It descended from the sky and covered the entirety of Xuanjing.
From afar, it looked as if a huge blue bowl had covered the entire city.
At the same time, the palace within Xuanjing flashed with a blue light barrier that separated the entire palace from the rest of Xuanjing.
Seeing such a shocking scene, the patrolling Loose Cultivators of the various factions were naturally stunned.
"Not good, we've been trapped by the formation. Quickly break it and escape! "
Someone let out a cry of surprise. Immediately, many figures flew out of the streets and flew toward the light screen closest to them.
In the next moment, various attacks were released from the Loose Cultivators. The attacks turned into various lights that landed on the blue light barrier and exploded.
In an instant, the sound of explosions shook the heavens!
However, after the explosions and lights disappeared, the huge light barrier did not move at all and continued to quietly cover the entirety of Xuanjing. Not even the slightest ripple could be seen on its surface.
Such a shocking scene caused the expressions of the attacking Loose Cultivators to become extremely ugly.
Suddenly, some of the Loose Cultivators formed hand seals and descended. The instant their feet touched the ground, they took out some glyphs and items and activated them. Following that, their bodies flashed with a yellow light as they all burrowed into the ground.
The Loose Cultivators with faster reactions actually wanted to use burrowing techniques to escape from the bottom of Xuanjing.
However, after a while, these people once again flew out from the ground while cursing.
It turned out that there was a blue light barrier a hundred feet below the ground and there was no way for them to escape from Xuanjing.
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
However, a few of the Loose Cultivators that belonged to the various factions all went to report the results of this test to their own factions.
… …
After a mere four to six hours, the various factions began to recall their subordinates in Xuanjing. At the same time, the higher ups all gathered together to discuss the crisis they were facing.
"Needless to say, this is definitely the doing of the Sea Race and the monsters in the palace. Otherwise, why would this happen as soon as their identities were exposed? Moreover, the entire palace is also protected by the power of the formation. They are clearly afraid that we will settle the score with them. "One of the higher-ups of a certain force immediately said angrily in the gathering.
The same curses and angry shouts were naturally happening in the other forces as well.
Without much discussion, the major forces began to mobilize their forces.
Not long after, groups of cultivators flew out from some hidden places in Xuanjing.
However, the people who appeared this time were clearly more well-trained than the previous rogue cultivators. They all found a weak spot in the light barrier and began another round of breaking.
Although the cultivators sent by the major forces were far more powerful than the previous motley crew, and they had gathered some powerful spiritual weapons, they could only make the light curtain flicker a few times. They couldn't really shake the entire array.
Such a result naturally shocked and angered these forces!
They had no choice but to retreat to their residences. After another round of discussion, they immediately sent people to contact each other.
Perhaps it was because the crisis that enveloped the entire Xuanjing had caused these forces to feel that their lives were in danger. In less than half a day, they formed an alliance with shocking efficiency.
Following this, the alliance gathered all the cultivators. A portion of them continued to study how to break the blue light curtain while the other portion began to gather near the palace.
It was obvious that these forces knew that all of this was the doing of the foreign races in the palace. As long as they could break into the palace, the light curtain outside would naturally be broken.
At the same time, although the normal citizens of Xuanjing were also very frightened, other than the light curtain above their heads, there were no other abnormalities. Thus, they all walked onto the streets and began to discuss.
Some of the more informed citizens who were related to cultivators knew a little about this matter. As they whispered to each other, who knew how many versions of strange rumors were created.
In a secret room in the House of the Third Marquis, a few black shadows also mysteriously gathered together. However, after talking and arguing for who knows how long, they strangely dispersed.
"Junior Bai, your method seems to have had the opposite effect. These Sea Race have actually been forced by you to use such a large formation. "
On a nameless mountain peak in the Immortal Dawn Mountain, Liu Ming and Hu Chunniang stood side by side as they raised their heads to look at the blue light curtain in the sky. The woman suddenly laughed as she spoke.
"I indeed did not think that the Sea Race would actually set up such a shocking formation under Xuanjing. It seems that I underestimated the craziness of the Sea Race. However, to say that it has the opposite effect, it is not really. Although this formation is very powerful, it is obviously only used to trap the enemy and has no offensive ability. Otherwise, it would have already used its power to capture all the cultivators in Xuanjing. Under the current situation, we are actually very safe. As long as we wait for the Sect to send reinforcements, we will be fine. "Liu Ming put away the shocked expression on his face as he slowly replied.
"Junior's words seem to make sense. Now that the Sea Race have all holed up in the palace, they will naturally not cause trouble for us. However, I have already tried. Once this light curtain appears, I will no longer be able to send any messages to the Sect. Thinking about it, Junior Bai's method of communication should also be ineffective. Hehe, luckily we acted quickly and sent the important news back to the Sect. Otherwise, if we were caught off guard, we would have been cut off by the Sea Race and delayed our plans. "Hu Chunniang laughed lightly.
"Although the Sea Race's use of this method is a bit desperate, it's not a big deal. However, they should be very clear that even if the sects did not send the news back, they would not be able to hide it for too long. However, they still used such a forceful method, which is a bit strange. "Liu Ming first nodded his head and then muttered to himself with some doubt.
"No matter what the Sea Race has planned. However, since the news has already been sent back to the Sect, it is destined that they will not succeed. After all, the entire Da Xuan Country belongs to us five sects. We have already done everything that we can. The rest of the matter will be left to the elders of the sect to deal with. Junior Bai does not need to think too much. "Hu Chunniang smiled sweetly.
"Maybe I'm just worrying too much! Just like what Senior Sister said, we just need to wait quietly below. Hmm, it seems like someone is coming to my cave … so it is him, no wonder! Senior, I will first return to my cave to hide. You've already changed your appearance, so I don't think anyone will recognize you anymore. Then help me get rid of him. For the rest of the time, I'm going to cultivate behind closed doors. I don't want to get involved in anything anymore. "Liu Ming said quickly, then he flew toward his cave house in a flash.
"So it is this person, no wonder you do not want to come into contact with him." Hu Chunniang was startled at first, but after staring at him for a while, she muttered to herself with some surprise.
However, she could not help but feel a trace of shock in her heart.
Both of them were Late Perfection Spirit Apostles, but Liu Ming was able to discover them earlier than her. It could be seen that if he did not have some kind of special treasure, then his mental strength was far stronger than hers.
The girl's expression changed for a while before letting out a sigh and flying down the mountain.
After a while, a black-robed elder with a kind face appeared on the mountain road not far away and headed straight for Liu Ming's cave.
It was Elder Mian of the Hundred Spirit House!
He seemed to be full of thoughts and did not walk very quickly.
But even so, it didn't take long for the old man to come to Liu Ming's cave house and knocked twice on the stone door.
After a while, the stone door opened and Hu Chunniang appeared in front of the elder with a face full of smiles.
"Hmm, this fairy is … does Brother Qian live here?" Elder Mian paused slightly and asked with some surprise.
"This is indeed Senior Qian's residence, you are?" Liu Chunniang's true appearance was much younger than the Mister Qian that Liu Ming was disguised as. At this moment, she could only pinch her nose and call Liu Ming this.
"So this fairy is Mister Qian's junior. My surname is Mian. Fairy, please inform me and Fellow Qian will immediately know who I am. "Elder Mian said very politely.
"I'm afraid that is not possible. My senior just went into seclusion a few days ago and is currently cultivating a secret technique. He cannot come out halfway. Elder Mian should wait for a month before finding senior. "Hu Chunniang shook her head and spoke without changing her expression.
"What, going into seclusion now! Fairy, can't you make an exception? You should have seen the restriction in the sky right? This time, Owner Qian received a message from the Third Marquis. He wants to summon the cultivators of our Hundred Spirit House to the Third Marquis' Palace. Mister Qian is a Late Perfection Spirit Apostle and the Third Marquis specifically said that he must be present. It seems that the Third Marquis has thought of a way to deal with this situation. "Hearing this, Elder Mian couldn't help but become anxious.
"Third Marquis? I'm sorry, even if the Crown Prince summons him, my senior cannot come out right now. "Hu Chunniang's expression changed as she spoke without hesitation.
"If that's the case, then I can only reply to the owner and the Third Marquis like this." Seeing that Hu Chunniang didn't have any intention of backing down, Elder Mian could only helplessly cup his hands and leave.
However, just as the black-robed elder walked a few steps away, his ear suddenly vibrated and Liu Ming's faint voice could be heard:
"Brother Mian, if I were you, I wouldn't rashly go to the Third Marquis' Palace at this time. However, I can only say this much and won't say anything else. "
Although Liu Ming's voice was only two sentences, it still caused Elder Mian's heart to tremble. He turned around and cupped his hands towards Liu Ming's cave before leaving the mountain without another word.
In the next few days, other than the thousand Loose Cultivators that appeared outside the palace, they also set up formations of different sizes to trap the palace. None of the factions dared to make any rash moves.
It was as if the higher ups of the factions were bitterly thinking of a way to break into the palace.
After all, although the light barrier that protected the palace wasn't as shocking as the restriction that covered Xuanjing, it still gave off a shocking aura. It was obvious that it wasn't something that could be broken with normal methods.
