"The Zhao Clan is so vicious!" Xiang Qingcheng couldn't help but gnash his teeth in hatred.
"The Zhao Clan's branch in the ancient tomb colluded with the Demon Race and harmed Chi Yuan. They've long become a thorn in the eyes of the Great Immortal Dynasties. It's not surprising that they made such a move." Lu Xiaotian didn't think much of it. The Zhao Clan's branch had colluded with the Demon Race in the ancient tomb for so many years. Now, they were just making a bigger move.
If that was the case, everything would make sense. Before Xuan Yan Ghostly King and the others, Zhou Shiqing, Zhou Shihu and his brothers, as well as a few other groups of people, must have been lured here by Zhao Zhen using dragon essence to fish for dragon essence from the black pool. Once the fishing failed, the surrounding Zhao Clan cultivators would join forces to kill them.
After killing Xuan Yan, Xue Monkey, and Xun Hong, Zhao Zhen would use the same trick again until all of them were killed. If they could use these people to extract the Dragon Essence, it would undoubtedly be a pleasant surprise. If not, almost all of the True Meaning experts of the Human, Ghost, Demon, and Demon Races would be killed. Even the Family Head level experts would suffer heavy casualties. Almost all of their high-end combat power would be exhausted. In the future, even if they were dissatisfied with the Zhao Clan's previous collusion with the Demon Race, they wouldn't be able to do anything to the Zhao Clan.
If the Zhao Clan obtained enough Dragon Essence, they would be even more unscrupulous.
"Retreat!" Although there was only Zhao Zhen in front of them, there were no other Zhao Clan members in the surroundings. However, the Zhao Clan members were the best at illusions. Zhao Zhen's actions clearly showed that he had set up a trap. Xuan Yan, Xue Monkey, and Xun Hong didn't intend to capture Zhao Zhen directly. They retreated in the direction they came from.
"Fellow Daoists, since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Another voice sounded. An old man with white hair and beard walked over in the snow with a bright smile on his face. A little further away, four middle-aged men each took a direction, holding a Black Flood Dragon Banner in their hands.
Further away, four middle-aged women each held a White Tiger Banner, and four men stood in a staggered manner.
"Yin-Yang Eight Palace Dragon Tiger Combined Attack Formation!" Xiang Qingcheng saw where the eight people stood and his expression changed slightly.
"What is the origin of this formation?" Lu Xiaotian had studied formations for many years, but in terms of knowledge, compared to the Xiang Shi Royal Family, the Zhao Clan, and the ancient Di Clan, there was still a long way to go.
"It's one of the ancient formations, it's extremely powerful. Even in the imperial family's books on formations, there was only an introduction to this formation and no method to set it up. He didn't expect the Zhao Clan's people to be so familiar with this formation. The person in charge of the formation had to be carefully selected, combining the numbers of Yin and Yang. Furthermore, before setting up this formation, it had to be set up at the place where the formation was to be set up. It would take more than a month to set it up. It can be seen that the Zhao Clan has been planning this for a long time. " Xiang Qingcheng glanced at Lu Xiaotian with a grave expression and reminded him, "Even though your strength has improved greatly, it's still quite risky for you to break through this formation."
"Since you have some understanding of this formation, can you attack from both inside and outside and break through this formation?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"You mean joining hands with Xuan Yan Ghostly King and the others? According to the ancient records, I'm afraid it won't work. Instead, I might get myself trapped. " Xiang Qingcheng shook his head. The eight Zhao Clan's people who set up the formation had already reached the level of great cultivator. When they joined hands to set up the formation, its power was not to be underestimated.
"Xuan Yan Ghostly King and the others aren't weak either. With these few whetstones, let them try first." At the crucial moment, Lu Xiaotian still had the Boundary Breaking Insect to use. With the ability of the Boundary Breaking Insect, it would be easy to break this so-called Yin-Yang Eight Palace Dragon Tiger Combined Attack Formation. Everything had its own laws. Even if he hadn't seen this formation before, he could at least accumulate some experience by watching the other experts fight it with his own eyes. Not to mention that there was still Dragon Essence in the Black Pool, even if there wasn't, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't leave just because there might be Buddha Beads on Xun Hong. In addition to the four Buddha Beads he already had, there were still three left. Only by gathering all of them could the power of the Seven-storied Pagoda reach a higher level. Otherwise, it would take longer for him to improve the power of the Seven-storied Pagoda just by cultivating that section of the cultivation method he extracted.
"Zhao Yuandu!" Xuan Yan Ghostly King said hatefully.
"It's useless to say more. Since you can't take out the Dragon Essence, then die." Zhao Yuandu had a smile on his face, but his words were as cold as the bitter cold of the snowfield. The news of the Dragon Essence couldn't be leaked out. The reason he summoned these experts in batches was to see if they could help the Zhao Clan take out the Dragon Essence from the Heavenly Corrosion Water. After all, experts from different clans had different methods. Since they had failed, in order to ensure that only the Zhao Clan knew about the Dragon Essence, he naturally had to kill Xuan Yan Ghostly King and the others like the previous groups!
As soon as Zhao Yuandu's voice fell, the four men and four women outside waved the Tiger Banner and Dragon Banner in their hands. Suddenly, waves of dragon and tiger roars resounded throughout the snowfield. On the snowfield, the snowflakes were swirling around the great formation under the influence of the turbulent power of the formation.
"Roar …" Looking from the outside, the four men and four women who set up the formation could no longer be seen. Among the swirling snowflakes, four ten-meter-tall white tigers that seemed to be formed by the accumulation of snowflakes rose from the ground. They either stood on their hind legs or crouched on the ground, ready to pounce at any time. Or they were circling in the air. With their heads raised, the majesty of the king of beasts was revealed.
Amidst the waves of dragon roars, the four white dragons formed by the flying snowflakes were more than ten-meter-long, tumbling in the air. These four dragons and four tigers dominated the eight directions. A powerful aura had already shrouded the area within a radius of dozens of miles.
"Take him down!" Xuan Yan Ghostly King roared. A mass of Yin Soul shrouded her whole body and shot toward Zhao Yuandu as fast as lightning and as fast as a meteor. Behind her, Blood Monkey Ghostly King and Xun Hong fell back a few meters and dashed toward Zhao Yuandu in a triangular formation. Once the great formation was set up, the heaven and earth changed. The power of this great formation made Xuan Yan Ghostly King's heart tremble.
To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. As the initiator, Zhao Yuandu and Zhao Zhen, if one of them was taken down, they might be able to threaten the Zhao Clan to submit!
True Meaning experts were as powerful as thunder, not to mention three such experts working together.
"You want to take me down? I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." Zhao Yuandu laughed. Rays of blue light appeared around his body like blue mirrors. In each mirror, there was a reflection of Zhao Yuandu. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds and thousands of them.
Even Lu Xiaotian couldn't tell which one it was. It was as if he was looking at flowers in a fog.
