Shua! Shua!
Shua! Hundreds of eyes lunged at Li Yao like stray dogs that had smelled the aroma of meat.
The leadership of all the Cultivation sects, including the sanctimonious leaders, elders, and leaders, were all beaming with interest. Mysterious smiles were popping up on their lips.
Yes. Master Spiritual Vulture was an unparalleled master of refining. He must know arrays like the back of his hand, too. It would be best for him to crack the array.
Yes. Master Spiritual Vulture had risen to fame in the Dragon Spring Meeting and was now a pillar of the Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty. If he were here in person, there would be no need to do anything at all. The cowards of Roaring Tiger Hall would be scared witless and surrender the moment they heard the name of 'Grandmaster of Great Zhou'.
Someone else said solemnly, "You are exaggerating. It's true that Master Spiritual Vulture is one of the top three experts in the world right now. He is a rare super expert, but Roaring Tiger Hall is not made of dough, either. It will not surrender easily."
It would be too much of a stretch for Master Spiritual Vulture to crack the Tiger Apparitions Array on his own despite his extraordinary capabilities.
However, one must not forget that there was another super expert in the Purple Pole Sword Sect who had a chance to compete for the title of 'best expert in the world'.
Yan Liren's mysterious' fourth sword 'was said to be unparalleled and powerful enough to slash apart the Heaven Flipping Seal, the ultimate treasure of the Great Qian Dynasty in the past. How could the Tiger Apparitions Array possibly be a problem for the Sword Maniac and be shattered after only one attack?
'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren and Master Spiritual Vulture, the two unparalleled experts, would certainly be able to crack the array if they joined hands.
Listening to the exaggerated flattery of the crowd and looking at the burning gazes, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on Li Yao's forehead and kept dripping down.
He cursed aloud in his heart. Then, he turned around and looked at Yan Liren, before he said in a low voice, "Fellow Cultivator Yan."
Yan Liren lowered his eyes, but his face was not disturbed at all. He stared at his palm attentively, as if he could see a flower in it. He casually replied, "I am a Sword Maniac, not a moron."
At this time, it was time for the Sect Leader to take the stage.
Dan Fengzi cleared his throat and stepped forward. He bowed deeply at everybody first before he said in a friendly tone, "Thank you for your compliments on the two elders of the Purple Pole Sword Sect, fellow Cultivators." The Purple Pole Sword Sect found Roaring Tiger Hall's cold-hearted, inconsiderate behavior to be rather unacceptable, too.
It was a pity that the Dragon Spring Meeting three months ago had consumed too much of the Purple Pole Sword Sect's strength. Yan Liren and Master Spiritual Vulture, the two elders with the highest Cultivation, had accumulated a lot of hidden wounds during the consecutive battles. They were already at the end of their strength and were still recovering.
If the two elders were asked to fight despite their heavy wounds, the losses of the Purple Pole Sword Sect would not be a big deal, but it would not be good if the Roaring Tiger Hall became even more arrogant if they failed and the reputation of the major sects in the world of Cultivators was tarnished.
After hearing that, there was nothing that other people could say. They could only look at each other in bewilderment and flatter each other.
Elder Brother, your Qiankun Limitless Heart Sutra is the number one supernatural power in the world. You only need to use 30% of your power, and with one palm strike, the Seven Deadly Tiger Evil Spirit Formation will all be turned into fine powder.
That person said, 'Little Brother, you don't know this, but Big Brother's' Limitless Universe Sutra 'is just a little trick that's not worth mentioning. Little Brother's' Rippling Sea-Sweeping Technique 'is still better. Why don't Little Brother go first, and Big Brother follow closely behind? We'll definitely be able to beat the Duan father and son into a sorry state, and they'll obediently open the city and surrender. At that time, the great reputation will belong to Little Brother alone, and Big Brother won't be able to bask in the slightest.'
"All in all, everybody pushed each other. Some claimed that they were mentally deranged, and the other claimed that their old wounds had relapsed. After a long time, nobody was willing to be the first to break the array.
Li Yao looked at the dignified leaders and leaders who had turned into such cowards. It was far from what he had imagined. For a moment, he found it hard to accept. He asked Dan Fengzi in a low voice, "Has the Cultivators in the central plateaus always been like this?"
"Not exactly," Dan Fengzi said.
Dan Fengzi said, "In the past, there were still some high-level Cultivators who made great progress bravely."
"What happened later?" Li Yao asked.
"Later?"
Dan Fengzi said, "They were all dead."
Li Yao was rendered speechless.
Qi Zhongdao watched the leadership of the super sects in the world of Cultivators shirking their responsibilities and hesitating in silence. Their faces seemed to be covered in a vague black mist, and it was impossible to tell what their expressions were behind the mist.
After a long silence, he said in a voice as painful as if he were suffering from constipation, "Everybody, with everything coming to this point, do we still have to do this? We have to consider the big picture.
"Master Righteous One!"
An elder of the Thunderstorm Valley said solemnly. "It is not that we are unwilling to consider the big picture, but we have come here in too much of a hurry. Right now, only the high-level Cultivators of the major sects have arrived. A lot of low-level Cultivators are still escorting the relief assets behind us.
"Breaking into a defense array that has been fully activated and hundreds of Crouching Tiger Cannons and Fiery Crow Ballistas with the high-level Cultivators is like hitting a brick with a stone.
"It must be noted that Roaring Tiger Hall is not our target in the first place. It is a fellow Cultivator that we see frequently in the world of Cultivators. The White Lotus Cult is the real trouble that we must eliminate.
"Before we see Mother White Lotus, we will be bruised and battered in Roaring Tiger City, and we may not find the food and assets that we need for the disaster relief. Wouldn't the losses outweigh the gains? How can we deal with the White Lotus ghoul army when our own people are fighting each other?
"Therefore, we should wait for the low-level disciples of the major sects to arrive before we make further plans."
"Exactly. Let's make further plans. Let's make further plans."
The words of the elder of the Thunderstorm Valley won the approval of the leadership of all the sects.
"Let's make further plans."
Covering his chest, Qi Zhongdao's body slightly trembled. He laughed dryly, but he did not know what to say.
Master Bitter Cicada was still expiating the souls in midair. Other than expiating the souls of the dead, even the merciful monk seemed to be helpless in the mess.
While all the high-level Cultivators were at an impasse, all of a sudden —
BOOM!
A deafening explosion echoed from deep inside Roaring Tiger City.
In the blink of an eye, the earth quaked and the mountains shook. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain trembled a few times. "Kacha, kacha." On the mountain rocks, cracks as thick as strange pythons appeared.
All the high-level Cultivators were dumbfounded. They stared at the depths of Roaring Tiger City in confusion, only to discover that a cluster of colorful clouds was rising from the center of the city. Intense black smoke was spurting out of the center, gradually forming the shape of a mushroom.
The explosion was so powerful that the center of Roaring Tiger City collapsed entirely. Cries and screams were echoing everywhere.
"Look!"
Elder Huang of the Grand Mystery Sect suddenly pointed at the front and exclaimed, "The Tiger Apparitions Array is dimming!"
Everyone stared intently. Sure enough, the numerous golden tiger souls and ferocious spirits within the Tiger Baleful Spirit Grand Formation gradually dimmed, weakened, and transformed into strands of golden light before vanishing in the end.
The tyrannical and overbearing sense of oppression that he originally brought to everyone also quickly vanished like smoke in thin air.
The city gate tower of Roaring Tiger City was crowded with people, and they were in a panic. The aura that had been condensed and did not disperse was now filled with panic.
"The pivot of the Tiger Apparitions Array has exploded."
The high-level Cultivators were slightly dazed at first. Thinking quickly, they soon analyzed the latest situation and were overjoyed.
It was truly a godsend.
Without the enhancement of the Tiger Apparitions Array, two Yuanying were nothing to be scared of.
But how could it be?
Along with the explosion, intense fighting sounds were vaguely echoing inside Roaring Tiger City. Judging from the spiritual waves that were spreading out, it was a competition between a few Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and a lot of Core Formation Stage Cultivators.
The fighting noises approached from far away and gradually spread toward the towers of Roaring Tiger City.
Before the combatants were seen, another explosion took place on the towers. A cluster of dark objects darted out of the smoke and was thrown at the flying boat in midair.
"Stop him! Stop him!"
Desperate, panicked roars echoed inside Roaring Tiger City.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Dozens of chains dashed out of the smoke, trying to block the dark object and drag it back.
There were more than thirty Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators on the flying boat. How could they let them get away so easily? Immediately, dozens of sword auras and saber auras shot out, shattering all the chains and attracting the black object, before they were dragged over and thrown to the deck heavily.
The dark object turned out to be a person.
He was tall and slender. His face was half green, and his lips were extremely thin, vaguely emitting an air of evilness. He was wearing the short shirt of a low-level disciple of Roaring Tiger Hall, but all the joints on his body had been crushed. Blood was vaguely leaking out of his short shirt, and all the veins and nerves inside his body had been sealed. He could not even move a finger. All he could do was stare at everybody with a pair of eyes that were filled with hatred and desperation.
On the man's belt was a scroll that was scribbled on with grass paper.
After the scroll was unfolded, it turned out to be the structural map of Roaring Tiger City. Most of the places on the scroll were twisted and of no reference value, but the locations of several secret warehouses were pointed out. There was no telling if they were real or not.
"This is …"
The high-level Cultivators vaguely felt that the man looked familiar. Some of them pondered for a moment and suddenly changed their expressions.
"He is Zhou Wukun, the leader of the Mountain Ghost Hall of the Black Devil Cult."
