Wu Qingxu asked, "Has the Imperial Court made a decision?"
Chen Tingzhi nodded his head.
Daoist Zhengqing looked at the formation in front of them and said, "Then, the two court officials, let's work together to break the formation."
After the three of them came to a decision, they called the Xuan Zun over and arranged the specific tasks. Next, the three of them would attack the formation in front of them from different directions, while Yu Xuanzun would be responsible for pushing the formation from the back.
After the instructions were given, the three of them each turned into a ray of light and charged towards the formation in the middle of Shangchen.
At the same time, the thirty over Mystique Venerables had already followed the arrangement and each sat within the rather large formation. Their expressions were solemn and focused as they pushed the Clear Sky Qi forward to cooperate with the pressure.
Chen Tingzhi's path was in front of them. When he got close to the middle of the formation, he did not use any supernatural powers or Daoist techniques. He only used his own mana to push the Clear Sky Qi forward and break through the formation.
First, he penetrated the outer layer of the thick golden sand barrier. Then, he crashed into the formation. There was an earth-shattering crash, and the entire formation seemed to have collapsed.
When the many Shangchen Xuan Zun in the middle of the formation saw that it was him, they were all shocked. The Xuan Zun in charge of the front formation immediately activated the formation and pushed the formation's Heavenly Branches of Life to block the front.
However, at this moment, Daoist Zhengqing and Wu Qingxu suddenly attacked from the left and right!
The three cultivators with superior achievements attacked at the same time. In addition, the formation at the back was pushing the Clear Sky Qi forward. It could be said that the momentum was great, and it increased the pressure on the Xuan Zun in Shangchen.
Tianxia's formation at the back was gradually perfected as he continued to set it up. Although it was not as good as the formation that Shangchen had strengthened for hundreds of years, the power it could unleash was gradually increasing.
In addition, Chen Tingzhi and the other two had an endless supply of mana. They carried the Qi of the Clear Sky as they charged forward with the momentum of a rainbow piercing through the sun. Even with the support of the Cymbidium Lucidum, everyone felt that it was extremely strenuous. The entire formation began to tremble like layers of waves.
Gu Yangzi and the other two immediately felt that the situation in front of them was unstable. They did not sit back and watch. Together, they urged their vitality to assist Xuan Zun in stabilizing the formation.
However, they knew that although the three of them were in a stalemate with the other side, as long as Chen Yu and the other two did not retreat, the Clear Sky Qi behind them would continue to press forward until the moment the great formation could no longer withstand it. Moreover, the other side had a powerful weapon that could break the formation. At that time, they might not be able to hold on.
Unless the three of them could personally go up against Chen Yu and the other two, only then would they be able to resolve the crisis.
However, they would not choose to do so.
They knew very well that the real target of Tianxia's attack was undoubtedly them. His actions were to force them out. Even without Ying Chong's words, they could feel the faint murderous intent behind them.
Therefore, they could not move.
If the three of them did not exist, the collapse of Shangchen would only be a matter of time.
Lingdu Daoist said, "Chen Yu has also joined the battle. Friend Ying's judgment is reasonable. I'm afraid that there are more than the three people in front of us who have obtained superior merits from Tianxia's side. Other than Zhang Yu who is guarding the Star Formation in the Void, there should be others. Let's withdraw our comrades first."
Gu Yangzi thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer. If we retreat too quickly without any casualties, the Huanyang school will not make any moves."
Ying Chong's idea was not bad, but actually carrying it out was another matter.
He knew very well that the Huanyang school would not get involved so easily, unless they really had no way out. If they did not pay a price and just put on an act, how could this person really come?
At this time, Daoist Tian Hong said, "Who do you think is waiting behind us?"
Lingdu Daoist thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that person from the Yuandu Sect?"
Gu Yangzi thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the fact that Yuandu Xuantu's authority has always been abandoned by that person, if there are no accidents, Xun Ji should be close to that step. He should also be involved in more matters, so it is unlikely that he will participate in this battle."
Daoist Tianhong said, "Then it must be someone else."
Lingdu Daoist thought for a moment and said, "Those who did not leave that year are all possible. After all, the upper echelons have mystical rations for nourishment."
Gu Yangzi looked outside and said, "At most, there is only one person. Otherwise, they should all be here by now, so there is no need to hide their killing intent."
At the same time, above the Xuantian Palace, Lin Tingzhi had been observing the battle array. He saw that under the continuous attacks of Chen Tingzhi and the other two, the originally thick green light curtain in the opposite battle array had become weak again. He also seized this opportunity and waved his sleeve, once again activating the previous battle array weapon, the "Sky-Smashing Shuttle".
The three hundred and sixty "Heaven Smashing Shuttles" carried the energy of the Clear Sky Dome and leaped into the formation in an instant. Everything that came into contact with the shuttles was sucked in and then disappeared without a trace.
Although the central battle array was far more stable than the outer battle array, at this moment, its power was used to deal with the attacks from the outside. After suffering this attack, the inner battle array was torn apart, and in an instant, it was divided into more than a thousand individual battle arrays.
Xuan Zun, who was guarding the Lantern Festival, suddenly felt that he had become an isolated island.
They were still fine, but when the disciples in charge of assisting saw that they were separated from their fellow Daoists and teachers, they immediately panicked, which further accelerated the collapse of the great battle array.
However, the moment the Sky-Smashing Shuttle fell, a Daoist in the battle array transmitted a message, "Hurry up and leave." Then he turned into a ray of light and fled. Yu Xuanzun hesitated for a moment.
On the other hand, this moment of hesitation caused them to be trapped within the formation. If they retreated without any protection, then they might be targeted and killed by Chen Tingzhi's group of three, so they didn't dare leave for now.
At this moment, under the attacks of Daoist Zhengqing and Wu Qingxu from the two sides, the two separated battle arrays only lasted for a few breaths before they were broken apart. Xuan Zun, who was guarding the inner battle array, could also attack from the inside.
Chen Tingzhi faced the greatest resistance from the front, because Gu Yangzi and the other two had mobilized their vitality to suppress him. However, he did not fight against any battle array alone. Instead, he went straight to the deepest part of the battle array, restraining most of the battle array's power. This caused the shattered battle array to be unable to be repaired.
Ying Chong was standing at the back. He saw a ray of light coming from afar. When he saw who it was, he asked, "Daoist Chang, why did you leave the great battle array without permission?"
Daoist Chang stopped and revealed a startled expression. He asked, "Friend Ying, why did I leave the great battle array without permission? Didn't you ask me to leave? "
Ying Chong said, "When did I ask you to leave?"
Daoist Chang said, "Daoist friend, didn't you say that we need to protect ourselves first? When I saw that Tianxia was about to use his killing move, I had no choice but to follow Daoist Ying's words and retreat first."
Ying Chong said, "But you retreated in front of the battle array before it collapsed. What's the reason for that?"
Taoist Priest Chang took a look behind him and said doubtfully, "It didn't collapse, but I saw that it did." He looked a little ashamed and sighed, "My skills are not good enough, I made a mistake in my judgment."
Ying Chong knew that he was talking nonsense. If they had retreated from the outer circle to the middle circle, he would have punished them severely to intimidate them.
However, now that they were in the inner circle, there was no way to retreat. Moreover, this was a delicate moment. He was the host in name, but in reality, the authority had been returned to Guyang and the other two. It was not good for him to be calculative.
He looked at Daoist Chang, who had an innocent look on his face, and thought that this man had grasped the right timing.
He shook his head and said, "Daoist friend Chang, go back and guard the inner circle." He paused and said slowly, "There's no way to retreat anymore.
Daoist Chang's expression turned serious. He nodded and bowed to Ying Chong before retreating to the rear.
Ying Chong looked at the battle array in front of him and saw that it was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, he saw a gust of green gas emerging from behind and shrouding the front. He knew that reinforcements had arrived. He immediately transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoists, please retreat.
At this moment, the Xuan Zun in Shangchen felt that it was difficult to maintain, but they did not dare to leave. When they saw that the reinforcements had arrived and that they had been taken care of, they immediately gave up on defending. They all left the battle array and retreated to the inner circle.
The inner circle battle array was the closest to the main line in Shangchen, but its defensive power was also the strongest. Everyone could use their power. The defensive power of the inner circle was not comparable to the two outer circles. When they arrived here, everyone felt a little more at ease.
Gu Yangzi saw that everyone had retreated and said seriously, "Fellow Daoists, whether we can defend the inner circle or not is related to the life and death of Shangchen. However, the general situation is unpredictable. We must prepare for the worst."
Lingdu Daoist said, "We should make arrangements as soon as possible."
Daoist Tian Hong looked outside and said, "I have no objections."
Gu Yangzi waved his sleeve and scattered five jade talismans. After a while, five pillars in the hall lit up. Then, the avatars of Xuan Zun appeared. Ying Chong was also inside.
The five of them were all Virtual Realm cultivators. They were also the five elders of Shangchen.
Ying Chong said, "What can I do for you, Venerable Ones?"
Gu Yangzi said, "This battle is related to the life and death of Shangchen. However, if Huanyang comes late, or if he never comes, we will have no place to retreat. We will have to fight to the death with Tianxia."
Lingdu Daoist said, "Tianxia's power is greater than mine. When the time comes, the three of us will have to fight personally. If we are not around, Friend Ying will handle all the affairs."
Ying Chong cupped his fists.
The other elders also bowed with a solemn expression.
Gu Yangzi said slowly, "If the three of us die in the battle, the position of Shangchen's sect leader will be taken over by Yu Lingbi. She will also be in charge of Shangchen's Dao guarding treasure, Cymbidium Lucidum."
The other elders did not say anything.
Ying Chong also maintained his silence.
Lingdu Daoist raised his head and looked at the others. He said, "The three of us have already reported this matter to the three grandmasters. The three grandmasters have already sent back a message. If the matter comes to that, everyone should act accordingly."
Ying Chong and all the other elders cupped their fists and said, "We will obey the Dharma decree."
Daoist Tian Hong waved his sleeve and said, "Since everyone knows, then you may leave. Go back and guard the Lantern Festival. Don't let anything happen to the formation!"
