Dong Jianxin asked, "Master, what kind of secret skill is this? Why is it so powerful?"
"Sky Chant." Zhou Dunli shook his head. "These twenty Celestials should be from the same sect. I really can't tell which sect they are from. After using the Sky Chant, they can go straight to the Outland. The sect in the Outland used a secret skill to bring them back."
"This must be very taxing, right?" Chu Li asked.
Zhou Dunli nodded. "This guiding force needs to be refined using a secret skill. It's very taxing. Unless there's a very important person, they wouldn't use this skill."
Chu Li frowned. "If that's the case, there's someone important among these twenty Celestials?"
"It's probably someone important in their sect," Zhou Dunli said. "Otherwise, they wouldn't have used this secret skill."
"If that's the case, this Sky Chant …" Chu Li pondered.
Zhou Dunli said, "Using the Sky Chant can go straight to the Heavenly Courtyard and the sound can travel to the Outland."
"This secret skill is amazing." Chu Li smiled and pretended not to understand. "What about our bronze bell?"
"The bronze bell is engraved with this secret skill." Zhou Dunli smiled. "This was done by our ancestors. It's very important to Goddess Attraction Mountain. Without this skill, once we step into the Outland, it's hard to know this situation."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
He guessed the reason. Stepping into the Outland would cut off their perception of this world. Even if Goddess Attraction Mountain was in danger, they would not know in the Outland.
Chu Li looked up at the sky. "The Golden Dragon is …"
"It's arrogant. How can it suffer such a loss? It might chase to the Outland and settle the score with these people." Zhou Dunli shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Don't worry about it. It won't suffer."
Chu Li sighed. "Once it leaves, Goddess Attraction Mountain will …"
If the Golden Dragon was lured away, Goddess Attraction Mountain would lose its protection. If the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, that would be real trouble.
"You mean …" Zhou Dunli frowned and his expression changed. "We have to be careful!"
Dong Jianxin looked at them blankly.
Zhou Dunli said, "Jianxin, go back first."
"Master, what?" Dong Jianxin was puzzled.
Chu Li said, "There might be powerful masters coming. Senior Brother, you should hide first."
"I …" Dong Jianxin was startled. He wanted to insist on staying behind to defend against the enemy, but then he thought of his own martial arts. He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alright, Master, Junior Brother, I will stay with Miss Xiao and the others."
Zhou Dunli nodded in satisfaction.
Although the eldest disciple's aptitude was not as good as Chu Li's, he was kind-hearted and pure. Moreover, he was aware of the situation and would not make a fuss over his own pride.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "It's too late!"
As soon as his voice fell, a muffled "Bang" resounded. The golden light that enveloped the Immortal Attraction Mountain shook violently.
Just as Zhou Dunli was about to make a move, a round hole suddenly appeared in the golden light in front of him. It was as if someone had cut a hole in an eggshell. The void trembled, and 20 people flashed out.
After they appeared, the circular hole behind them slowly closed, and the golden light once again enveloped the Immortal Attraction Mountain.
Chu Li's gaze sharpened slightly. This was obviously a strange technique used to break formations. It was different from a Formation Breaking Talisman, but it was more ingenious.
The Formation Breaking Talisman had to fight against the entire formation, but this technique only cut a part of the formation. The resistance encountered was countless times smaller, but it was not easy to perform such an ingenious technique. Otherwise, all formations in the world could be broken.
The Great One Palace was the only one in the world who could break formations in such an ingenious way.
Chu Li's gaze swept across the 20 people. He knew that there must be a master from the Great One Palace among them.
The 20 people stood in the void and looked at Zhou Dunli and the others in silence.
Chu Li's gaze fell on a handsome young man in a green robe, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The handsome young man in a green robe smiled bitterly and looked at him helplessly.
This person was Li Xinghe, who Chu Li had sent from King An's Imperial Residence to Stargazing Pavilion to plot against Song Zhifan.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror and saw through Li Xinghe's thoughts.
Li Xinghe wanted to tell Chu Li in advance, but unfortunately, he did not have the chance. This time, a senior Deva from Stargazing Pavilion had descended to preside over the operation against Immortal Attraction Mountain.
As the most outstanding disciple of Stargazing Pavilion, he did not know about this operation at all. By the time he found out, he had already set off.
When he saw Chu Li, he felt rather awkward and helpless. He really wanted to inform Chu Li that he could not let Chu Li die for the sake of the Heavenly Astral Jade Medallion and the Heaven Power Compass. Otherwise, all his efforts would have been in vain.
Unfortunately, his ancestor's actions were extremely secretive. A ruler who was not secretive would lose his subjects, and a subject who was not secretive would lose his chastity. His ancestor was well-versed in this. His actions were silent, but once he took action, it would be as powerful as a thunderbolt.
Now, it seemed like his ancestor's actions were ruthless, accurate, and steady. His methods were truly brilliant. After the Tang family made their move, he lured the golden dragon away before jumping out. It could be said to be foolproof. Otherwise, if they had acted rashly and lured the golden dragon, it would have been difficult for them to escape.
The 20 Celestial Beings could be lured away by the Outland, but the 20 of them did not have such an escape method.
Zhou Dunli's gaze was as cold as ice as he slowly looked at the 20 people. Finally, his gaze fell on a purple-faced old man. "Pang Hui, I didn't expect to see you here. You were the one who broke the formation, right?"
The purple-faced old man cupped his fists in shame and sighed. "Brother Zhou, please forgive me. I had no choice but to do this. It involves the sect, so I can only put aside my personal feelings."
Zhou Dunli laughed coldly and said, "In this world, only you know the secret of Celestial Attraction Mountain's formation. I never expected that it would be you who led people to attack the mountain. This old man was really blind!"
Zhou Dunli was extremely vexed.
Back when he was still young, he met Pang Hui when he went down the mountain to train. The two of them traveled the world together and entered many dangerous situations. Their friendship grew through adversity. Once, when they were drinking, the two of them exchanged pointers on formations. When they got excited, they chatted a little more.
These few words touched on the secret of Celestial Attraction Mountain's formation. Although it was only a superficial knowledge, it was enough for Pang Hui. As expected, Pang Hui still found the weakness of Celestial Attraction Mountain's formation. From there, he easily broke the formation and brought people in.
Their decades of deep friendship ended up being betrayal. Zhou Dunli's emotions were very complicated. He wanted nothing more than to cut Pang Hui down with his sword.
Pang Hui sighed. "Brother Zhou, this time, our seven major sects have joined forces to destroy Celestial Attraction Mountain. Brother Zhou, you should return to the Outland and never come back!"
"If that's the case, you'll spare my life?" Zhou Dunli laughed coldly.
Pang Hui nodded lightly. "Our goal is not you, Brother Zhou. It's Celestial Attraction Mountain."
Zhou Dunli said, "You want me to kill myself and return to the Outland, right?"
"… Yes." Pang Hui sighed.
Zhou Dunli laughed. "I really have to thank you for your kindness, Pang Hui! … Alright, I've experienced the seven major sects' tactics today. I didn't expect you to be so bold. I'm impressed! "
Chu Li smiled. "Master, they usually don't have the guts, but with the arrival of Senior Celestial Being, they've naturally become bolder. … Leave these despicable people who want to kick you when you're down to me. Master, you can watch from the side!"
"… Very well." Zhou Dunli looked at him deeply.
