Zhao Mingtang wasn't in a hurry to break the formation. He re-examined Ling Yun and began to discuss with his three Junior Brothers, preparing to deal a fatal blow to Ling Yun.
They were from the Kunlun Sect, and they were disciples of the Kunlun Sect. Their sole objective for coming to the Heaven's Sword Sect was to use this opportunity to kill Ling Yun. Now that Ling Yun had appeared, it was absolutely impossible for them to allow him to escape. Because if that were to happen, their mission would be equivalent to failing.
Just as Ye Qingxin said, there was a difference between immortals and mortals. Kunlun couldn't intervene in worldly affairs. Kunlun could manipulate the cultivation sects and ancient martial arts sects in this world behind the scenes, but they couldn't come out with great fanfare and intervene in worldly affairs. Because if they did that, they would be breaking their own rules.
Otherwise, needless to say other places, Mount Shu would be the first to disagree. They would definitely stand on the opposite side of Kunlun, and the world would be in chaos.
Therefore, the four from Kunlun Sect coming to Sky Sword Sect was equivalent to playing on the edge. Zhao Mingtang and the other three were also doing this secretly.
Their range of activity was just a small place like Sky Sword Sect. Whether it was capturing Ling Yun alive or killing him, they had to return to Kunlun directly after the mission was completed. They couldn't stay for another day.
Once Ling Yun escaped from Sky Sword Sect alive and returned to the mortal world, the four disciples of Kunlun could only look at him and sigh. It was impossible for them to chase after him.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Mingtang and the others were willing to take this mission wasn't because they were greedy for the prosperity of the mortal world, nor to show off their strength. They were doing this for the generous rewards after they returned to Kunlun.
If not, they wouldn't be willing to leave Kunlun, because the spiritual energy here couldn't be compared to Kunlun. If they stayed outside, it would affect their cultivation.
On the cliff, because Zhao Mingtang and the others temporarily stopped attacking, Ling Yun finally got a chance to breathe.
The Armillary Sphere Maze Formation wasn't destroyed. As the astral wind stopped, the white fog began to condense again and became denser than before. It blocked the enemies from peeping outside.
The white mist created by the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation wasn't a real mist, but a manifestation of the power of the Formation. As long as the Formation wasn't destroyed, the power of the Formation would always exist, neither decreasing nor increasing. This was determined by the power of the Formation.
In the past, Ling Yun used this Armillary Sphere Maze Formation mainly to block the enemy's spying or to trap the enemy before breaking them one by one. That was why he wasn't afraid of the enemy destroying the formation. This was because when the enemy broke the formation, Ling Yun would be free to deal with the trapped person.
However, this time around, his formation was protecting him and Qin Qiuyue. Ling Yun was in the middle of the formation, and he was controlling it personally. Of course, he wouldn't allow the other party to destroy it.
Ling Yun successfully repelled the enemy's attack. At this moment, he stood proudly with the Blood Dissipating Divine Saber in his hand. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and his mind was racing.
Kun Lun disciples!
The four Kunlun disciples who were in the stage of Zhuji had finally appeared in the world!
This meant a lot to Ling Yun!
What kind of place was Kunlun? To ordinary people, it might be very mysterious and difficult to understand and ponder. However, to a cultivator like Ling Yun, he was actually very clear about it.
To put it in a small way, Kunlun could be a mystic realm. To put it in a big way, Kunlun could be a small world.
As for whether it was big or small, it depended on the size of the space where Kunlun was located.
According to Ye Qingxin, Kunlun had once issued three orders to target the Ling Family. Therefore, Kunlun was definitely Ling Yun's enemy. Of course, this didn't need to be proven. Because the situation in front of him was already obvious.
As long as it was an enemy, there was nothing much to say to Ling Yun. He would sweep, crush, and trample over them. Only then would he consider whether or not to reason with the other party.
However, Ling Yun wasn't thinking about these Kunlun disciples in front of him. He was thinking about the entire Kunlun!
Where was the door to Kunlun? How strong was Kunlun?
If he wanted to know the answer to this question, it was very simple. He just needed to capture one of them and ask!
Ling Yun's eyes lit up. His cold gaze scanned the four Kunlun disciples in front of him. He started to plan to capture them.
At least one of them had to be captured alive!
Since he wanted to capture someone, the next step would naturally be to compete in strength and tactics. Ling Yun didn't lack these. What he lacked now was the initiative in battle.
Because Ling Yun still had to protect Qin Qiuyue, he couldn't leave her side. This limited Ling Yun's movements.
The Sky Sword Sect really only has Di Heming in the Foundation Establishment Realm. The other two are at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Nine. I've already killed one of them.
"However, where is the Dao Protector by Di Xiaozhen's side? Is he one of the two masters at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivation Level Nine?
These two points were, of course, deduced by Ling Yun from Di Yutang's description, as well as the difference in aura, cultivation techniques, and clothing of the people above him.
This was almost the same as Ling Yun's judgment before he came to the Sky Sword Sect. The Sky Sword Sect was indeed nothing to worry about. At most, the other party had one or two masters at the Foundation Establishment Realm, which made things slightly more troublesome.
However, the problem now was that Kunlun had really interfered. Moreover, it was swift and decisive without any hesitation!
This was unexpected, but in fact, it was within Ling Yun's expectations!
He guessed that Zhang Kunlun and Li Kunlun must have escaped from the Devil Subduing Conference with serious injuries. After returning to Kunlun Mountain, they immediately reported everything they knew about Ling Yun to Kunlun Sect. Then, after a discussion, Kunlun Sect sent their disciples out of the mountain and chose to cooperate with the Sky Sword Sect. They had to suppress Ling Yun in one fell swoop while he was saving his mother.
Six days had passed since the Devil Suppression Conference. Calculating the time, it was just in time.
The truth was exactly as Ling Yun had guessed.
It seems like I have to send my mother away from here if I want to take the initiative. At the very least, I have to hand her over to Xing Chen.
Now that Qin Qiuyue was under Ling Yun's protection, Ling Yun was clear that he had the ability to send his mother away safely. Therefore, Ling Yun wasn't too anxious.
Although he didn't dare to say that he knew his enemy well, Ling Yun knew his current strength. He also knew the true combat strength of a cultivator from the Foundation Building Stage to the Tribulation Stage. He could make the most accurate judgment.
Ling Yun didn't need to observe the other party's dantian and forehead. He only needed to test the other party's flying speed to determine their cultivation level.
After a cultivator learned to fly, due to the limitations of the stage, the flying speed of each stage was completely corresponding. It was the same for their combat strength. There was no room for falsehood!
For example, Ye Xingchen was at Qi Refinement Stage Five. Her maximum speed was four times the speed of sound. It was impossible for her to surpass it. Moreover, this was because she cultivated the Void Star Attractor, a heaven-defying cultivation technique that wasn't any weaker than the Yin-Yang harmony balance.
If an ordinary cultivator wanted to achieve this speed, they would have to be at least in the late stages of Qi Refinement Stage. Moreover, they had to be at Qi Refinement Stage Eight or above.
Moreover, it was only at Qi Refinement Stage. It didn't mean that they could fly for long.
To put it bluntly, no matter how hard a cultivator fought, it was still a battle of the techniques they cultivated!
Therefore, although Ye Xingchen couldn't hold on after flying at four times the speed of sound for more than a thousand kilometers on the way to the Heavenly Sword Sect, this was already an absolutely heaven-defying feat in the eyes of other cultivators. She seemed slightly weaker because the person she was compared to was Ling Yun!
It's just that Mom isn't full yet. If I bring her away now, all my efforts would be in vain …
One had to admit that Ling Yun's thinking was really asking for a beating. If the people above, especially the Kunlun disciples, knew about this, they would definitely kill him at all costs. This was too pretentious!
They would never have imagined that Qin Qiuyue's food problem was Ling Yun's top priority from the beginning. As for their threats, Ling Yun didn't care at all!
It's a pity that the Protective Mountain Formation of the Heavenly Sword Sect has already been activated. It'll take a lot of effort to bring Mom out now.
Ling Yun turned his head slightly and swept a glance at the huge mountain ridge to the south of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Of course, the huge mountain ridge was still there. However, Ling Yun could clearly see that in the empty space between the huge mountain ridge and the Heavenly Peak, there seemed to be an additional thick transparent glass. However, it wasn't static. Instead, it fluctuated like ripples. That was the power of the Protective Mountain Formation after it was activated.
It was the same principle as the thick white fog that appeared after Ling Yun's Armillary Sphere Maze Formation was completed.
"Ah …"
"Not good … Ah …"
Immediately after that, there were all sorts of sounds of people piercing through the air. More people in the distance began to cry out in pain!
"Someone has come in. How dare they barge into the Earth Peak!"
Just as Ling Yun was thinking about how to break the formation with his mother and rush out to meet up with Ye Xingchen, the Earth Peak opposite the Heavenly Peak suddenly descended into chaos!
Ling Yun smiled knowingly. Great, now he didn't have to rush out. Ye Xingchen had directly barged in!
Of course, it was Ye Xingchen!
It turned out that when Ling Yun entered the Heavenly Sword Sect to rescue his mother, Ye Xingchen hid on the mountain ridge and was responsible for receiving him. She originally thought that the process would be quick.
Because Ling Yun's original plan was very simple. After finding Qin Qiuyue, no matter what, he would first bring her out to meet up with Ye Xingchen.
The irregular triangular valley where the Heavenly Sword Sect was located was at most ten kilometers long.
Therefore, Ye Xingchen thought that with Ling Yun's divine sense and speed, it wouldn't take long for him to explore the three mountain peaks. At most, it would take him one to two minutes to find and rescue Qin Qiuyue.
After that, not even a minute passed. Ye Xingchen indeed heard that the Heavenly Peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect was in chaos. Naturally, she knew that Ling Yun had found Qin Qiuyue and immediately prepared to receive him.
However, immediately after that, the Protective Mountain Formation of the Heavenly Sword Sect was activated. Then, Ye Xingchen could no longer see the situation inside. As far as her eyes could see, all she could see was a deep valley to the north of the mountain ridge. Even the three mountain peaks had disappeared into thin air.
Naturally, Ye Xingchen knew that this was the function of the Protective Mountain Formation because Ling Yun had told her about it.
Therefore, she began to wait patiently. However, no matter how she waited, no matter how long she waited, Ye Xingchen couldn't wait any longer.
There could only be one reason why Ling Yun hadn't come out even after ten minutes. Either he had changed his mind, or he had met with some trouble.
In that case, there was only one way left to receive Ling Yun. That was to force their way into the Heavenly Sword Sect!
Ye Xingchen wasn't someone to be trifled with. She made a prompt decision and immediately flew into the air. Very quickly, she arrived outside the Protective Mountain Formation of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Originally, people who didn't know anything about formations would have no better way to deal with this Protective Mountain Formation other than forcefully attacking it and creating a gap. However, Ye Xingchen had a way.
Void Star Attraction Art!
Ye Xingchen's divine sense moved, and six stars directly emerged from between her brows. Those six stars quickly transformed into six large stars, and then they combined to form a large star with a diameter of two meters!
This was a manifestation of Divine Energy!
Ye Xingchen allowed the large star with a diameter of two meters to envelop herself. Then, she displayed a new cultivation technique of the Void Star Attraction Art.
Stellar Transposition!
That large star enveloped Ye Xingchen and rotated rapidly. It actually sank directly into the protective wall of the formation and then appeared inside the Heavenly Sword Sect!
After Ye Xingchen entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, she didn't directly go to the Sky Peak where experts gathered. Instead, she chose the Earth Peak in the west. She took out the Star Vortex and simultaneously used the Sky Demon Double Slash, and immediately began to charge into the mountain!
Make a feint in the east and attack in the west!
The Sky Demon Double Slash streaked across the sky like the sun and moon. Ye Xingchen climbed the mountain unhurriedly, killing gods and Buddhas in her way. Her path was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!
"Hahahaha … Xingchen, good timing!"
On the Sky Peak, Ling Yun naturally understood Ye Xingchen's intentions. He immediately used the Mystical Dragon Howl and resonated with Ye Xingchen from afar!
… …
Xingchen had entered, and Big Brother Yun had begun his massacre!
