The Northern Ocean Clone gazed at Shen Lingzi, "That treasure just now … no wonder, no wonder it could capture Gu Hong of the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm alive."
Although it was only for an instant, it was a true reversal of time. It was a forceful reversal of time, erasing everything that had already happened, making everything start from the beginning.
If not for the fact that Broad Creed Mountain still had a trump card which Feng Yunsheng had not hesitated in the slightest and had immediately made a move, the result of this battle might very well have been rewritten.
If the soldiers used to set up the formation were destroyed, they would not be able to set up the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation.
Yan Zhaoge's Northern Ocean Clone, Yuan Zhengfeng and the others would be hard pressed to resist the power of Shen Lingzi and the Light Yin Sword Seal.
In that case, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di would only be able to leave seclusion prematurely, unleashing the power of the entire Broad Creed Mountain in a bloody battle with their opponents.
At that time, even if he managed to force his opponent to retreat, in a sense, he would still have lost.
Because that would be equivalent to the opponent having won sufficient time, while Broad Creed Mountain would have wasted all their previous hard work for nothing.
When the opponent was fully prepared and gathered an even stronger force to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And now, the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation had transformed into a world of white light that enveloped the Spirit Inheritance Region, forcefully keeping Shen Lingzi out.
Shen Lingzi's expression was still calm, but his gaze became somewhat grave.
Gazing at the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation before him that enveloped Broad Creed Mountain, he thought, "No wonder Kang Ping and the others were able to be left in such a sorry state. There are truly no end of unexpected variables."
He had only brought two Reversal Light Divine Stones with him this time.
He had originally thought that he would only need to expend one to capture Gu Hong alive at most. Breaking through Broad Creed Mountain's defenses and capturing Yan Zhaoge would not be difficult at all. He had prepared an additional Reversal Light Divine Stone just in case.
Who would have thought that even after using the Reversal Light Divine Stone, he would still face a wall at the foot of Broad Creed Mountain.
Shen Lingzi raised his head and gazed towards the western skies. "This place is too close to Shadow Lin and the rest. Time is limited …"
King Xuancheng was still busy with the matter of the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation in the capital and could not free himself for the time being.
Seeing that he would not be able to break the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation within a short period of time, Shen Lingzi did not drag his feet, nor did he want to forcefully fight to the death in a fit of rage.
He immediately retracted the Light Yin Sword Seal and his sword light.
"Broad Creed Mountain, Daoism's East Peak? They're still far from being worthy of this title. However, although their cultivation bases aren't high, they have quite a lot of treasures. This old man was a bit hasty in coming here. "
Shen Lingzi glanced calmly at Broad Creed Mountain before turning and leaving, "Since that is so, let us end things here for today. I had originally wanted to settle things with just one round, but from the looks of it now, I can only leave you all for last."
His figure disappeared in the void, and the sword will that was like water covered the sky, flowing quietly and leaving toward the southeast.
Those of Broad Creed Mountain watched Shen Lingzi's departing figure, frowning in silence.
The light of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation had yet to disperse; who knew if Shen Lingzi would suddenly turn around and attack.
Yan Zhaoge had never been stingy in judging his enemies with the greatest evil intentions.
The other party cultivated a martial art like the Time Stream Sword, and his speed was incredibly fast. If he wanted to launch a sneak attack, he would arrive in an instant.
Still, looking in the direction in which Shen Lingzi had departed, the Northern Ocean Clone muttered, "Heading for the southern part of the Royal Reed Sea, the Dim Darkness Sect's newly-established headquarters? Heh, I really have to circle the Royal Reed Sea in an anti-clockwise direction. "
Yuan Zhengfeng said in a heavy tone, "The Dim Darkness Sect will not be able to withstand it."
Yan Zhaoge answered, "They should have known this after receiving the news that Copper Men Island had been breached. It is just a pity that they did not come to rendezvous with us."
While Zhou Haosheng and the others did not know what exactly Yan Zhaoge had gained in the battle of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum, seeing that the Radiant Light Sect seemed to have suffered a great loss as well, they guessed that the one who had benefited was most likely Yan Zhaoge.
In the Dim Darkness Sect's guess, the Dim Radiant Lamp had ultimately fallen into Yan Zhaoge's hands.
Comparing this to how they had been virtually destroyed by the Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide, suffering a great blow to their vitality, the Dim Darkness Sect inevitably felt extremely complicated as they looked at Yan Zhaoge.
While the enemy of an enemy was a friend, the two sides were natural allies due to the Grand Xuan Dynasty and the Radiant Light Sect.
However, the Dim Darkness Sect had always felt rather awkward and averse towards Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain these past few years.
When the news of Copper Men Island's demise had spread, other than contacting the North Sea Sword Pavilion, Broad Creed Mountain had also contacted the Dim Darkness Sect.
It was just a pity that Shen Lingzi had been too fast, his actions too decisive.
Breaching the North Sea Sword Pavilion had been as swift as a thunderstorm.
Determining that they would not be able to breach Broad Creed Mountain's defenses within a short period of time, they had immediately left without further ado.
Even if the Dim Darkness Sect set aside their reservations and agreed to Broad Creed Mountain's suggestion, hurrying over to the Spirit Inheritance Region to join forces, they would only be directly obstructed by Shen Lingzi now.
If they had not accepted Broad Creed Mountain's suggestion and fled to the southern region of the Royal Reed Sea, they might instead have been able to avoid this tribulation.
The light of the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation dissipated, the Northern Ocean Clone landing back on the Heaven Rising Peak.
He first looked at Feng Yunsheng, "How is the situation?"
Feng Yunsheng had already kept the Extreme Yin Crown and the Cold Sun Divine Sabre now, her face pale as not the slightest hint of blood could be seen on it, "It's not a big problem for now. I just need to recuperate for a period of time."
The Northern Ocean Clone shook his head, "Unless there is no other choice, I would not want you to use this move. Sadly, the opponent just now indeed had some skills."
Pan-Pan had already shrunk back to the size of a panda at this moment, the viciousness on his face vanishing as his gaze turned gentle once more.
It was just that he too had a fatigued look on his face as he carried the Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Box over to Feng Yunsheng's side, lying down and dozing off.
Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun walked over, "That direction Shen Lingzi left in …"
"Now, we can only hope that the Dim Darkness Sect is blessed by the heavens." The Northern Ocean Clone shook his head, "We can defend a place. If we pursue, while the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation can move, it would be impossible for it to catch up to Shen Lingzi's speed."
It was clearly impossible to hope that the Dim Darkness Sect would be able to hold on for a little longer, delaying and obstructing Shen Lingzi for Yan Zhaoge and the others to catch up.
Having personally clashed with Shen Lingzi, Yan Zhaoge could be certain that if the Dim Darkness Sect were to directly face Shen Lingzi, they would be defeated in a short while.
Even if Zhou Haosheng was armed to the teeth with a few high-grade Sacred Artifacts, it would still be useless.
Yuan Zhengfeng sighed, "Pay close attention to the movements over there. Now, we can only hope that you and Yan Di can emerge from seclusion as soon as possible."
The Northern Ocean Clone nodded silently.
Fang Zhun now said, "The other side has already decided to kill them all this time, thundering through their territory. King Xuancheng, however, has yet to make a move. Perhaps he is still worrying about that Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation."
"From the looks of it now, it was fortunate that you, Zhaoge, did not just trap Kang Ping's trio in the underwater palace of the Clear Scenic Region, also slay that Qi Wei who is proficient in formations."
He said slowly, "Otherwise, this wave of attacks from the other side would probably be two experts of the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm moving together."
The Northern Ocean Clone's gaze was heavy, "The Earth Ocean Lung Crystals and other treasures that I plundered that year should have been collected by the Grand Xuan Dynasty again these past few years. King Xuancheng and the others might even have brought back sufficient treasures to set up the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation from outside the Royal Reed Sea."
"It is always the most difficult to set up the formation at the start, requiring peak experts who are proficient in formations to keep an eye on it at all times. Still, when the formation is on the right track and circulates stably, King Xuancheng will be able to extricate himself."
The Northern Ocean Clone gazed into the distance, "It has already been a few years since King Xuancheng arrived here. That day is probably already not far away."
A hint of a cold smile appeared at the corners of his lips, "It's just that, by the time they finish preparing, we should be more or less done as well. Shen Lingzi might not have realised that today is his best chance, and also his last chance." (To be continued)
