The huge heavy sword was still bombarding downwards, but the pitch-black small swords were firmly blocking the heavy sword's path. Although the heavy sword was huge and powerful, it seemed to be unable to exert any force in the face of the small swords. It couldn't advance even half an inch!!
"How could this be? Who … who cast this sword formation?? "
The armored general stared at the sword formation. Suddenly, he vaguely sensed something. He quickly turned around and yelled at the red-robed man behind him, "Use the Shadow Exorcism Divine Art!"
"Yes!"
The red-robed man nodded. Xuan Er quickly took out a red pagoda from her spatial bag and tossed it downwards.
The pagoda flew downwards and suddenly began to spin crazily. A snow-white light shot out from the bottom of the pagoda. The light was like a sharp arrow, directly hitting the tiny swords. It was like a dark night that was about to brighten up.
However …
The snow-white light shone over, but it did not have any effect. The light did not even brighten the black swords.
The red-robed man and the armored general's expressions darkened.
"What … What is this thing??"
The armored general murmured. He thought it was just a spell cast by a demon. Although there was no Devil Qi, it was full of murderous intent. However, when he took a closer look … it did not seem to be the case.
"Sir … What should we do now?" The red-robed man asked.
The armored general gritted his teeth. He stared at the thick sword that was still in a stalemate with the tiny black swords. Suddenly, he moved and charged down with a roar. He held the sword hilt with both hands and madly pushed, trying to use brute force to break through the obstruction of the black swords.
Finally, the tiny swords trembled slightly.
However …
It was only trembling. It was still a long way from breaking through.
"Damn it!" The armored general was even more furious. His roar almost shattered the tunnel.
The thick sword seemed to have sensed its master's unwillingness. It trembled violently. A powerful sword Qi shot out from the thick sword and collided with the black swords like a raging storm.
Ding ding clang clang …
The black swords made crisp sounds when they were hit.
The sound was especially ear-piercing, but it would not be pierced through. Although the thick sword was extremely powerful, it was useless against the black swords.
Who was the one who used this sword formation?
What kind of cultivation would be able to do that?
The armoured man could not stop himself from doubting his own strength. He began doubting his own Immortal artefact. He even began doubting the Thousand Illusion Mantra. He could feel the unconcealable power of the thick sword. Anyone below the seventh stage of the Spirit Profound Immortal Realm would not be able to withstand a single strike from the thick sword, and it was even possible for them to be instantly killed. But … not only did the Sword Formation withstand the attack, it even formed an absolute defense, such that it was unable to advance any further.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it … "
The armored general let out a furious roar. The veins on his body bulged and his eyes turned bloodshot.
"Sir!! Don't go on like this. There's no effect at all. "
The red-robed man at the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly went over to shout.
"No effect? What do you think we should do? "
The armored general turned his head and glared at the red-robed man as he roared.
"Can't we just enter the celestial pool from another place?" the red-robed man said hurriedly.
With that said, the armored general's expression immediately congealed. He frowned and asked in a low voice: "Another place? Is there another way out of this celestial pool? "
"No, but we can open a path."
The red-robed man leaned forward and carefully observed the sword formation. Finally, his sharp eyes saw the pitch black sword imprint at the side, and immediately said: "This black sword formation, might be the work of the Devil Cultivator, but look, through this sword formation, the one behind should be the celestial pool, the water of the celestial pool is half black, most likely the Devil Cultivator has already entered the celestial pool, which means that there is no one else in the celestial pool, no one will stop us from doing anything, since we can't break this sword formation, why don't we save our strength and open up another path?"
"Open up another path? How? "
The armored general frowned.
The red-robed man frowned, his gaze turned, sweeping across the tunnel wall at the side, then leaned over, extended his hand and knocked on the tunnel wall a few times, then said in a low voice: "General, why don't you use your Sky Splitting Sword to break this place! How about it? "
"Break this place?"
Hearing this, the armored general immediately understood the red-robed man's meaning.
The black sword formation's defense was so strong that it made one's hair stand on end, but this tunnel was different, regardless of whether the celestial pool was natural or man-made, it wasn't indestructible.
"I understand!!"
The armored general nodded, raised his hand and shouted: "All of you, retreat!!"
"Yes!!!!"
The red-robed man cupped his fists and shouted: "All of you, retreat!! Quickly!! "
"All of you, retreat!!"
"Orders from the Lord! All of you, retreat!!!!! "
The Immortal Court Immortals at the entrance of the tunnel immediately teleported backward, within a breath's time, not a single person was left a kilometer away from the tunnel, and the red-robed man also left in an instant.
Once these people retreated, the armored general immediately took action. He stared at the wall on the right, his expression becoming ferocious, his already thick arms bulging once more, as if they would explode at any moment. The power flowed from his arms to the huge Sky Splitting Sword in his hand, causing it to tremble violently, letting out an ear-piercing 'weng weng weng' sound.
"With my will as thy strength, with my body as thy arm, with my soul as thy eyes, with my heart as thy actions … SLASH!!!!!"
The armored general roared, his voice like a bell, his movements like lightning. Following the frenzied movement of his arms, the huge Sky Splitting Sword changed direction, smashing towards the wall on the side …
Boom!!!
The entire Celestial Pond began to tremble. Even the space around the Celestial Pond began to tremble violently. Ripples began to spread in all directions with the Celestial Pond at the center …
…
…
Immortal Court.
"What? Gongsun Lang was slain by Qi Jin?? "
The head of the Ministry of Resources, Chen Xinsheng, cried out in shock as he stared at Zun Li, who was walking towards him.
"I just received news from above, your no-ranked envoy, Gongsun Lang, went to the celestial pool without permission, sabotaged the celestial pool plan, and attempted to enter the celestial pool. He was discovered by Lord Qi Jin, and because he refused to confess, he was punished according to the laws of the Immortal Court!!"
Zun Li held a golden scroll in his hand, his voice cold as he spoke.
He walked over and threw the scroll on the ground.
Chen Xinsheng hurriedly picked up the scroll and unfurled it, reading its contents. A moment later, his face was filled with shock.
Zun Li stared coldly at Chen Xinsheng. He snorted and said, "Lord Chen, someone said that you take good care of this Gongsun Lang. I wonder how this Ambassador without any rank caught your attention? What if he was a gifted one? Or is there something special about him?? "
"Gongsun Lang's talent is not bad, I admire him …" Chen Xinsheng answered without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Zun Li already knew that he would say this, and snorted, "Not bad? If his talent is not bad, why has his cultivation stagnated after entering the Immortal Court? Other than learning some Immortal Court cultivation methods, his strength has not improved at all? Moreover … the cultivation methods of the Immortal Court that he has learned are only half-baked. Is this … his aptitude not bad? "
Chen Xinsheng was speechless when he heard this.
"Lord Chen, you and I are both working in the Immortal Court, we eat the same bowl of rice, let me give you a piece of advice, be honest and be lenient. Everything that everyone in the Immortal Court does is recorded by the Heaven's Eye. You can hide it from me, but you can't hide it from the higher-ups. Gongsun Lang is only a no-ranked envoy, how would he know the location of the celestial pool? If the higher-ups did not tell him, how would he know?? "
"Lord Zun Li, what do you mean?" Chen Xinsheng was enraged, and shouted, "Are you saying that I told Gongsun Lang the location of the celestial pool? I told him to go to the celestial pool alone?? I am a member of the Immortal Court, I know the rules of the Immortal Court, how could I do such a stupid thing?? "
"Lord Chen, don't be agitated, I'm just saying, I didn't say anything about you." Zun Li said indifferently, "However, we do need to investigate how Gongsun Lang knew about this secret."
"I can accept the mind reading test, I really didn't tell Gongsun Lang about this. As for Gongsun Lang … I'll be honest, he … is actually my illegitimate son outside."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Then, he entered the Immortal Court because of you? "
"Yes …" Chen Xinsheng clenched his teeth and admitted it.
As the main person in charge of Gongsun Lang, he would definitely accept the mind reading test of the Immortal Court. He couldn't even hide the secret in his heart. Instead of that, he might as well admit it. Perhaps there was still a chance for him to turn the situation around.
Zun Li's lips curled into a vague smile when he heard this, and said indifferently, "Let's put aside the matter of you abusing your power for now, we should deal with the celestial pool first. If you really didn't tell Gongsun Lang about the celestial pool, then … this matter is not as simple as we thought. With Gongsun Lang's ability, he wouldn't be able to get his hands on such a secret. I think he most likely … has someone's help."
Chen Xinsheng was shocked when he heard this, "Someone's help? Lord Zun Li, you mean … there might be a traitor in the Immortal Court … "
"It's too early to come to a conclusion."
Before Chen Xinsheng could finish, Zun Li interrupted him. He said slowly, "But the higher-ups have handed this matter to me, I'll be in charge of the investigation. Whether there is a traitor or not, it's not a bad thing to investigate it, but … I still need Lord Chen's cooperation!"
"Don't worry. Since it's Lord's order, Xinsheng will definitely cooperate." Chen Xinsheng's heart was in a mess. He couldn't care less about the purpose of Zun Li's actions. He only hoped that Qi Jin would leave his soul behind when he killed Gongsun Lang.
But at this moment, Zun Li suddenly saw something. He took a few steps forward and went to a bookshelf behind Chen Xinsheng.
"Lord Zun Li, you …" Chen Xinsheng frowned. He saw Zun Li taking out a piece of red cloth from the pile of books on the bookshelf …
Seeing this, the two's faces turned ugly.
