"But … news of the battle here will spread out very quickly. Once the other Ancient Sages in the capital come, it'll be impossible for us to escape!"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling said anxiously.
Of the Ancient Sages that Sovereign Chen Ling had recruited, there were still five who did not live in the capital. Due to the formation earlier, they might not have noticed the commotion, but now that their strength had leaked out, they would surely charge over.
By then, it would be difficult for them to escape!
As powerful as his soul was, even Sovereign Chen Yong had nearly been killed by so many experts, let alone Zhang Xuan!
With a look of anxiety on his face, Zhang Xuan exhaled deeply. "It's already too late for us to escape now. The capital is so big that we won't be able to escape at all …"
Even if they managed to escape from Sovereign Chen Ling's palace, it would still be futile. The capital was vast, and there were all kinds of formations set up on the walls.
Furthermore, even if they managed to escape from Sovereign Chen Ling's palace, where could they possibly escape to?
"What should we do then?"
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was thinking, Ancient Sage Mo Ling asked.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan instructed, "Hold them off for ten breaths. Leave the rest to me …"
"Ten breaths?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling was taken aback for a moment before nodding. "Alright!"
Huala!
Driving his soul energy, Ancient Sage Mo Ling gathered the surrounding spiritual energy to form a vortex before charging toward the two Ancient Sages. As the three of them clashed, the surrounding space shattered layer by layer.
While battling, Ancient Sage Mo Ling turned to look at the guild leader, wanting to see what kind of idea he had in mind. Floating in the air, Ancient Sage Mo Ling's eyes flickered, and it did not take long for several thousand formation flags to materialize before him.
Zhang Xuan had obtained quite a few grade-9 formation flags from the Temple of Confucius, and all of them were of the same grade.
"He … intends to set up a formation? Is it too late to set up a formation now? Besides … "
Seeing the other party's actions, Ancient Sage Mo Ling nearly plummeted from the sky.
He had witnessed the prowess of the other party's formation earlier, and it was indeed formidable. But … where were they?
Sovereign Chen Ling's palace!
The palace was already filled with all kinds of inscriptions, and the slightest mistake could not be allowed in the slightest.
Putting aside ten breaths, even a hundred Nine Star formation masters might not be able to set up the formation within a year!
To set up a formation amidst hundreds of formations was already considered fusing them together. The sheer amount of calculations required was not something that a human could accomplish.
Hu hu hu!
Before Zhang Xuan could recover from his shock, the young man floating in the air began waving his hands, and the formation flags shot out into the surroundings.
In less than three breaths, thousands of formation flags were scattered around the Ling Chen Palace, piercing into the ground and disappearing.
"Alright, retreat!"
After that, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and shouted.
"Alright!"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling quickly flew over.
How could the other two Ancient Sages allow Zhang Xuan to leave so easily?
Wu wu wu!
Right at this moment, a sharp rumble resounded in the air.
"Spirit Emperor, who is this person that forced you into such a state?"
"Haha, this time around, you have to give me what you promised me. You can't just say it like that …"
Following which, a strong pressure descended from the sky.
Five Ancient Sages appeared in the sky above Emperor Ling's Palace at the same time.
"Don't talk nonsense. I want them alive. Don't let them escape … I will fulfill my promise to you! If one escapes, don't mention anything else … "
Sovereign Chen Ling spat through gritted teeth.
Even though he was still able to deal with Vicious' skeletal frame with the help of the formations in the hall, the injuries he had sustained previously were simply too severe. At this moment, he was already feeling a little overwhelmed.
If this were to continue, Vicious' skeletal frame would surely suffer, and his injuries would only worsen. In the worst case scenario, he might even lose his life!
Thus, no matter what price he had to pay, he had to keep these fellows here. Otherwise, he would really be in deep trouble!
On top of that, he had spent a lot of effort to purify the Dragon Blood. If he were to lose it, who knew how long it would take for him to recover from his injuries?
"That's easy!"
The five Ancient Sages lowered their gazes and saw Ancient Sage Mo Ling and Vicious fighting with the other two Ancient Sages.
"It's already too late for us to escape …"
Seeing that so many Ancient Sages had arrived while they were in the midst of the battle, Ancient Sage Mo Ling's heart sank.
He might still have had a chance against the other two Ancient Sages, but with so many of them before him … that was no longer possible.
"I intentionally waited for them to come. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape …"
Zhang Xuan's face paled as he chuckled softly.
Even with the help of the Library of Heaven's Path and the boundless zhenqi in his body, he still felt extremely fatigued after setting up so many formation flags at once.
"You intentionally waited for them?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling was stunned.
How could he still be in the mood to joke around in such a state?
That was going to cost him his life!
"Are you the Ancient Sages who are aiding Sovereign Chen Ling? I am a friend of Sovereign Chen Yong. He didn't die, but Sovereign Chen Ling colluded with the humans to assault him … "
Paying no heed to the flustered Ancient Sage Mo Ling, Zhang Xuan raised his head to look at the figures in the sky.
It would be for the best if he could rope them in.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! He's a human spy and a master teacher! Hurry up and kill him!"
Before Ancient Sage Mo Ling could finish his words, Sovereign Chen Ling's anxious voice sounded.
It was just a moment ago that he was still intending to spare the other party's life, but at this moment, he could not care less anymore.
These people were currently loyal to him, but their hearts were far from his. If Sovereign Chen Yong promised them even greater benefits, it would be hard to say whether he would still be able to control them or not.
"Master teacher?"
Upon hearing that Sovereign Chen Ling was a master teacher, the faces of the Ancient Sages warped in horror.
"I am a master teacher? Sovereign Chen Ling, isn't your excuse a little too far-fetched? My Zhenqi of Slaughter is pure and concentrated, making it clear that I possess the bloodline of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. To think that you would dare to claim that I am a master teacher! "
Zhang Xuan sneered coldly as he drove the zhenqi in his body.
In an instant, pure Zhenqi of Slaughter gushed out from his body. The purity of his bloodline was comparable to that of the three Sovereigns.
"This …"
"Is it really possible for a human to disguise such pure Zhenqi of Slaughter?"
"To be able to disguise such pure Zhenqi of Slaughter, I'm afraid that we don't deserve to live anymore …"
The Ancient Sages frowned in bewilderment.
The purer one's Zhenqi of Slaughter, the higher the grade of one's bloodline. The purer one's zhenqi was, the purer one's bloodline was. Was the other party really a master teacher?
"Kill him, and I'll double what I promised you earlier!"
Seeing the hesitation of the Ancient Sages, Sovereign Chen Ling gritted his teeth.
"Very well. No matter who he is, kill him!"
The eyes of the five Ancient Sages turned cold.
The way the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe interacted with one another was vastly different from that of the Master Teacher Continent. The latter was particular about rules, but the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe … had no rules at all.
There was only profit.
It did not matter to them whether the other party was a subordinate of Sovereign Chen Yong or a master teacher.
What Sovereign Chen Ling had promised them was double what Sovereign Chen Yong had promised them.
Since that was the case, what else was there to consider?
It did not matter who the other party was.
