Complete silence.
Ding Mu had just announced that he would wield unparalleled authority as the new emperor, and yet, such a thing happened. Everyone on the Heaven's Altar was dumbfounded.
The League of Nations was several hundred thousand li away from here. Even if they were to ride on a Zhizun realm pinnacle savage beast, it would still take them several dozen days to arrive. To send the envoy's token directly... Wasn't it a little too fast?
"This... Impossible! Impossible... "
Ding Mu's eyeballs were about to pop out from his sockets.
Are you toying with me?
He had just become the emperor, and he had already forced the other party into a corner. Victory was right in front of him. If such a thing were to happen, how could he possibly command the world? Convince the others?
Conferred Kingdoms were conferred by the League of Nations. If the latter refused to acknowledge them, there was no use saying anything else!
"Your Majesty, this... is the real envoy's token. I've seen it before..."
Seeing the doubt in the other party's eyes, an official walked up anxiously.
The envoy's token signified that he was patrolling the world. The words' League of Nations' carried a unique authority that no one could imitate.
With just a glance, he could tell that it was the real deal.
"Men, the Left Minister is spouting nonsense, affecting the foundation of the nation. Execute him!"
Ding Mu was already in a frenzy. Seeing that the other party was acting so insolently, he turned around and bellowed.
"Your Highness..."
The crowd stared at one another, unsure whether they should obey or reject the order.
"You all..."
Seeing that no one was paying any heed to his order, Ding Mu's eyes reddened in anger. Just as he was about to continue, a calm voice sounded.
"If the League of Nations doesn't recognize you, you are a fake emperor. No one will listen to your orders!"
Turning around, he saw that Zhang Xuan was already standing not too far away, gazing at him coldly.
Actually, he was still a little perplexed.
He had already prepared for the worst. Regardless of whether the other party was the emperor or not, he would have made a move. He didn't expect the League of Nations to refuse to recognize him.
The appearance of this token meant that the other party's identity as the emperor wasn't legitimate. Even if he were to kill the other party, no one would dare to say anything.
"So what if you don't listen to my orders? Do you think that I will fear you just because I don't have them? You might be powerful, but it won't be that easy for you to kill me! "
Without the position of the King, his subordinates could not obey his orders, and Mingshi Tang was not on his side at the moment. Ding Mu knew that there was no other way but to fight recklessly.
His malevolent face resembled that of a ravenous wolf as he glared at the young man before him. All of a sudden, he reached forward and grabbed the jade seal in front of the throne.
With the jade seal in hand, his entire aura changed. It was as if he had become a towering mountain, suppressing everything in his surroundings.
His aura was so powerful that even a Half-Transcension expert would have to avoid him.
"The reason why our Ding Clan was able to obtain the fertile land within a radius of several hundred thousand kilometers, establish a kingdom, and be bestowed with a title. Our heritage has lasted for a thousand years, and the other kingdoms dare not attack us isn't because of brute force. Rather, it's because of our formations!"
"Over the years, Xuanyuan Royal City has been under constant maintenance, and the various buildings have fused with the sun, moon, and stars to form a grade-4 primary formation! If you want to kill me, then die first! Even if I can't become king, I'll drag you down with me! "
Roaring furiously, the jade seal in his hand flew into the air, and in an instant, the formation was activated. The entire capital seemed to have come to life, and an incomparably powerful pressure descended from the sky.
Everyone present felt their bodies tightening, as if they had been bound by some kind of formation. If they were to move carelessly, they would be killed easily.
"This is... Great Xuanyuan Formation... He actually activated the Great Xuanyuan Formation!"
Amidst the crowd, an official's face paled, and his body went limp.
"Great Xuanyuan Formation? What's that?"
Unaware of the matter, one of the crowd couldn't help but ask.
"Legend has it that the founding ancestor of Xuanyuan Kingdom was a powerful formation master. After unifying the kingdom, he chose this location and used the mountains, rivers, and all kinds of buildings as the foundation to construct a powerful formation. Even a Transcendent Mortal primary stage expert would be killed easily if he were to fall into it! "
"This formation is activated by the jade seal... It's the final defense of the kingdom. Once it's activated, no one here will be able to stand against it... "
The official trembled uncontrollably.
Previously, when Ding Mu ordered them to kill this master teacher, none of them obeyed his orders. Now that the formation was activated and everyone was trapped within it, how were they supposed to stand against it?
Hearing those words and sensing the rampaging formation in the surroundings, everyone's faces paled in shock.
Initially, they thought that no one would listen to his orders, and their cultivation was far beneath that of the other party, so there was no need for them to worry. Yet, who could have thought that there would be such a trump card hidden behind the scenes?
To be able to kill even a Transcendent Mortal primary stage expert, the formation must have reached grade-4!
Without sufficient strength, it would be impossible for them to escape.
It seemed like... they were truly doomed this time!
...
"You are... the envoy of the League of Nations?"
While everyone was panicking, on the back of the savage beast, Wei Yuqing stared at the young man before him with clenched fists.
Back at the Poison Temple, he knew that this' gongzi 'possessed a high standing. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Gu Mu's teacher, a 4-star poison master, to obey his orders.
But even so... he didn't expect the other party to be an envoy of the League of Nations.
An envoy wielding a token was equivalent to the emperor of the League of Nations. If any vassal kingdoms dared to question his authority, they could execute him before reporting to the higher-ups!
It could be said that as long as he was within the borders of the League of Nations, he would wield unparalleled authority.
And the person who wielded such great power was just a teenager ….
If not for the fact that he had seen the other party tossing out the token with his own eyes, he would have never believed that it was real.
"Un!"
'Gongzi 'nodded. Instead of explaining, he lowered his head to look at the activated formation below and frowned.
A moment later, he turned to the elder beside him.
"Is there any way to resolve it?"
"Gongzi knows that I'm not skilled in formations!"
Jin Conghai's face reddened.
Even though he was a Transcendent Mortal expert, he was only skilled in poison. He wasn't skilled in formations. The formation below was massive, and even a true 4-star primary formation master would find it hard to resolve it, needless to say, him.
"This formation makes use of the terrain, and it has been set up for a very long time. It has never been used before, so it has already gathered a powerful force. Putting aside me, I fear that... even Pavilion Master Kang wouldn't be able to resolve it!"
After a moment of hesitation, this teacher of Gu Mu's continued.
Even though he wasn't skilled in formations, as a Transcendent Mortal expert of the League of Nations, he was still a Transcendent Mortal expert. He could easily tell how fearsome this formation was.
Putting aside him, even Pavilion Master Kang wouldn't be able to resolve it.
Pavilion Master Kang wasn't just Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang, he was the most formidable formation master in the entire League of Nations as well.
Even Pavilion Master Kang was unable to resolve it.
'Gongzi 'couldn't help but ask, "I know that this formation is formidable. Then... do you have any way to save him?"
Deciphering a formation was completely different from saving a person within it. The latter was much simpler.
"There's no other way!"
Jin Conghai shook his head and said, "This formation is filled with immense power. Life, death, and plunder all depend on a single thought of the formation master! At the very least, sixteen Transcendent Mortal experts will be needed to break it... Even if it's just to save someone, at least five people of my level will be needed to make a move simultaneously... "
The strength of a formation depended on its tier. Secondary to that was the size and area of the formation!
The larger the area of the formation, the more powerful it would be.
This was also the reason why formation plates were so weak.
The formation below was built according to the terrain of Xuanyuan Royal City, spanning an area of several hundred kilometers. On top of that, it had been accumulating energy for more than a thousand years, and it had never been used before. The moment it was used, it would surely be a shocking sight to behold.
Even though he was a Transcendent Mortal expert, it would be a miracle if he could protect himself against such a powerful Slaughter Formation. To save someone... was impossible!
"Then... what should we do? You know that he's Liu Cheng! "
Hearing that even his guard couldn't save the other party, 'gongzi' panicked.
"There's no need to panic. At the very most, I'll just give it a try..." Jin Conghai gritted his teeth.
He knew that 'gongzi' was indebted to 'Physician Liu Cheng'. The reason why the other party had left the League of Nations was to look for him. If he were to see the other party die before him, wouldn't he die of regret?
"What are you trying to do?"
Before the duo could finish their words, a doubtful voice sounded in the room. Following which, everyone saw that Sun Qiang had already finished his cultivation and was standing up once more.
At this moment, not only had Sun Qiang reinforced his Pixue realm cultivation, he had even opened three acupoints. He was brimming with energy and vigor.
Zhang Xuan's Impartation of Heaven's Will might not be effective against cultivators of other cultivation realms, but it was of great help to Jin Conghai, who was on the verge of achieving a breakthrough to Dingli realm.
"Your young master is trapped by Ding Mu's formation, and he is in grave danger. If you can contact Yang shi, I fear that... he might not be able to hold on!"
Seeing that Jin Conghai was done cultivating, 'gongzi' hurriedly said.
To be honest, when he threw out the envoy token, he should have captured Ding Mu immediately.
If he had done so, such a situation wouldn't have happened.
He had come here to repay a debt of gratitude, but not only did he fail to do so, he even caused his benefactor to die before him. How could he possibly return? (In his view, if he hadn't thrown out the envoy token, Ding Mu wouldn't have been forced into a corner and had to activate the formation.)
"Formation?"
Glancing down through the window, Sun Qiang replied nonchalantly, "I thought that it was something major, but this is all it is? Don't worry, it's fine!"
Jin Conghai staggered upon hearing those words, and he nearly fainted on the spot. "Do you know what this formation is? How formidable is it? "
Your young master is trapped by a formation that even a Transcendent Mortal is incapable of breaking, and yet, you aren't the slightest bit worried... Is there something wrong with your head, or is there something wrong with your heart?
"I don't know!"
Sun Qiang waved his hands grandly. "There's no need for you to know. It's just a small formation, it's nothing much!"
There weren't even any formation masters in Tianxuan Kingdom, so how could he possibly know anything about formations? To be honest, he wouldn't be able to decipher even the simplest one before him.
Even though he didn't know, he had heard Zhao Ya and the others recounting the scene of him wreaking havoc in the Lin Clan a few hundred times. Furthermore, he had personally witnessed the young master stopping the formation in Lu Chong's ancestral mansion with a single kick.
He knew that the young master's understanding of formations was unparalleled.
In other words, this formation might be fearsome to others, but to the young master... it was ineffective.
"Nothing much? Just a small formation? Is this how you act as a servant? "
With a darkened face, 'gongzi' felt his chest heaving, and he nearly exploded on the spot.
