The Soaring Serpent's Rebellion
The main reason the Beast Region could survive in the cracks between the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and the Immortal Region was because of an ancient spiritual formation within their territory.
At the beginning of the Three Realms, the Four Sacred Beast Clan heads had exhausted all their energy to set up this formation, all for the sake of protecting the Beast Region's myriad clans.
So long as the formation was activated, the Four Sacred Beast Clans could alter the effects of the formation, or make them fall into a bewildering formation and return in defeat. Or make them fall directly into a killing formation and slaughter the invaders.
It was fair to say that the formation's existence was a great bargaining chip in their fight against the demons.
"Who? Just who is it?!"
Lei Hu, who had a fiery temper, was so enraged that bolts of lightning began to appear around his body.
The existence of this Spiritual Array was simply too important to them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so furious.
Everyone's gazes landed on Xia Hua, but when he saw Xia Yingqiu, Xia Keke, and Xia Yingqiu, he froze.
His heart ached.
He knew the six of them were the eyes of the Four Beasts Formation.
The Dragon Clan had declined. Of all the surviving dragons, only the six of them carried the bloodline of the Golden Dragon Clan. He wasn't. If he were, he wouldn't have allowed his precious granddaughter to participate.
And the eyes of the other clans. His heart ached!
"Xia Hua!"
Roared Lei Hu. He waited for Xia Hua to explain the situation, but the old man remained silent.
"Hm? What is it?" Lei Hu's shout pulled the clan head back to his senses. When Lei Hu heard his response, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "I'm the one who should be asking you what is it? You just said the Beast Region's spiritual formation was destroyed? Just what formation was destroyed? "
"All of it," said Xia Hua.
"All ….. all of it?" Tu Biyu stuttered. Zhuge Hong furrowed her brows. "How is that possible? Xia Hua, don't speak irresponsibly. Even the formations we set up afterward were destroyed from the inside? How is that possible? I personally set up the thirty-seven killing formations outside. When it comes to formations, there's no one in the Beast Region better than me. "
"Even the Spirit Formation left by the Sacred Ancestor could be broken by them, let alone your Clan Leader Zhuge. Besides, they're trying to break the formation from the inside. As long as they're slightly familiar with the layout of the Spirit Array, wouldn't it be easy to break it? "
He narrowed his eyes at Xia Hua and said, "Don't worry, Xia Hua.
"Now I just want to know who did it. Who did it!"
"Soaring Serpent." Xia Hua sighed. "It was probably the Flying Serpent Clan who broke it. After the formation broke, I used my spiritual awareness to scan the entire Beast Region. The Flying Serpent Clan is no longer in their territory. They … may still have defected to the Devil Race. "
"What? It must be that old poisonous snake's tribe!"
Lei Hu's tiger-like eyes were perfectly round, flickering with tangible electricity. His white hair also flickered with electricity, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
"I should have electrocuted him back then. I knew that old viper wasn't a good person!"
"It really might be him," said Zhuge Hong, frowning. "Their tribe also knows a few Qimen Dun Jia techniques. It makes sense that they were able to break my killing formation. Furthermore, when the Sacred Ancestor left the formation, the Flying Serpent Clan knew how to use it. "
Bang.
Lei Hu stomped his foot, causing the floor of the room to crack.
Lightning surged out of his body, disappearing along the ground beneath his feet. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Ten thousand years ago, I said the Flying Serpent Clan couldn't be allowed to live. You all stopped me."
"Back then, you had a personal grudge with the Flying Serpent Clan. Besides, if the Flying Serpent Clan was one of the Eight Divine Beast Clans, how could we possibly let you exterminate them?"
"Great," snorted Xia Hua. "He's gone with the demons, and on his way out, he even broke our formation," snorted Lei Hu. "You might care about your old friendship with the Eight Divine Beast Clans, but that old viper doesn't."
"That's a different matter!" snorted Xia Hua.
"All of you, stop arguing. Sit down!"
Zhuge Hong walked between Lei Hu and Xia Hua and separated them. Lei Hu glared at Xia Hua, then sat down on a chair.
"Don't argue, and I don't want to argue. But that's the truth. Back then, the Flying Serpent Clan fought with my White Tiger Clan. What I wanted to deal with was that old bastard Xia Hua blocking my way. He even said he believed in the Flying Serpent Clan and the friendship between the Eight Divine Beast Clans. Don't spout such nonsense. Do you know why I attacked that old viper? He was already showing signs of cooperating with the demons! "
"Enough." Zhuge Hong glared at Lei Hu. "Now that things have reached this point, there's no point in arguing. Will the Flying Serpent Clan be exterminated? Will the formation be restored? "
Lei Hu's lips quivered, but in the end, he said nothing.
"Right now, we need to confirm the situation." Zhuge Hong frowned at the two angry fellows. "Xia Hua, what's the situation with the formation?"
"The formation can't be restored. You should know what the Sacred Ancestor is capable of. As for the one hundred and eight killing formations, illusory formations, entrapment formations, and bewildering formations, most of them have been destroyed. However, the damage isn't particularly serious. Given enough time, we can still repair the insides. "
"But I'm afraid they won't give us time at all," snorted Lei Hu. "That old viper, the Flying Serpent, will definitely send word to the demons that the Beast Region's lightning has been cleared? You should hurry up and bring your armies to bear down on our borders!"
"Lei Hu, will it kill you to speak a little less?" Zhuge Hong frowned.
"But Lei Hu is telling the truth," sighed Tu Biyu. "If the Flying Serpent Clan hadn't left, it would've been fine. But since they've already left the Beast Region, they must've gone to send word. So long as the demons aren't stupid, they'll definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack. When that happens, we'll have our gates wide open. They won't have to worry about anything and will march straight into our heart. "
"Hmph." Lei Hu couldn't help but snort again.
"Alright, stop snorting. I made a mistake back then, alright?" Xia Hua rolled his eyes at Lei Hu. "If you have the time to sulk, why don't you think about how to solve this?"
"How else can we solve this? Fight!" said Lei Hu, glaring at him. "Our grand formation is gone, and so are our spiritual formations. We'll just have to fight our way in. Are we supposed to just wait here and let them fight their way to our doorstep without suffering any losses? Are we supposed to defend? If we seize the initiative, we'll win half the battle. While they haven't attacked, let's hurry up and gather our men to fight our way out. "
"Senior Dragon God, what do you think …." Xia Hua's gaze fell on the Dragon God. The Dragon God chuckled. "Fighting is one way, of course, but not the best plan."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
