Chapter 2223
Ignoring the angry glares and fear from Zhou Ming's entourage, Han Jiuling's cold gaze returned to Zhou Ming, who was curled up like a dead dog, and her tone was as indifferent as ice:
"Within three days, have your Cangyue Sword Sect leader come here to see me in person. If it takes longer than three days, then the Cangyue Sword Sect is no longer necessary."
"What?! You...you dare to show such contempt for my sect!"
"Who are you?"
Although the elders under Zhou Ming's command were afraid of Han Jiuling's strength, some of them were still unconvinced. Their faces turned red, and they questioned him in trembling voices.
Before he could finish speaking, a cold light flashed, and the old man's head shot into the air, blood gushing out like a fountain before crashing heavily to Zhou Ming's feet, his eyes wide open, dying with unresolved grievances.
Han Jiuling glanced at the remaining people, his tone full of contempt: "Han Jiuling."
"Get lost!" Han Jiuling waved his sleeve, intending to blast everyone away, but Chen Xuan stopped him by raising his hand.
Seeing this, Han Jiuling nodded slightly and then ignored Zhou Ming and his group.
Offending the powerful should come at a price.
Zhou Ming was unlucky; it just so happened that at this moment, they were questioned in such a condescending tone.
Not long ago, Han Jiuling and the others had just been severely beaten by the three Immortal Kings, and they were already holding back a lot of resentment.
Normally, such an offense would probably have been laughed off. Unfortunately, he ran right into the line of fire.
Chen Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Han Jiuling's actions.
In the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, sometimes just speaking in the wrong tone can be enough to bring about one's death.
"Among you, are there any from Nine Dragons Star?" Chen Xuan took a step forward, his calm gaze sweeping over the high-ranking officials of Tian Shu City. His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Upon hearing this, the young man in the scholar's robe and the white-robed, white-haired elder were startled and quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply and speaking with utmost respect: "Senior, my uncle and I are direct descendants of the Nine Dragons City clan. May I ask what instructions Senior Chen Xuan has for us?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face:
"Go back and tell your clan patriarch that I, Chen Xuan, have returned. Have him mobilize all available manpower within a month to recall all cultivators from Xuanxiao Star who are out there adventuring and training in the surrounding airspace and even in the major secret realms."
The white-robed elder was greatly shocked and quickly bowed, replying, "Senior, rest assured! This junior will immediately return to the ancestral star and report this matter to the ancestor!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then glanced at Zhou Ming, who was barely able to stand up and looked miserable, before turning away with the seventeen men without saying anything more.
Compared to when they first appeared, when there were many frivolous and teasing voices along the street, now, wherever Chen Xuan and his group passed, all the cultivators held their breath and dared not utter a sound.
Even those few cultivators who had spoken rudely earlier had already fled in terror and disappeared without a trace.
After flying away from Tian Shu Star, Chen Xuan led everyone to use the Great Teleportation Technique. In just one teleportation, they arrived outside the Great Array that guarded the boundary of Xuan Xiao Star.
When the magnificent array that covered the entire star came into view, Dao Yi and the others all showed surprise.
Above that great formation, rosy light flowed, and the Daoist aura was solemn. Faint sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries echoed, clearly indicating that it was of extremely high grade.
"Brother Chen Xuan, this Realm-Suppressing Array, was that also your doing?" Xuan Ye exclaimed in astonishment, his eyes filled with amazement.
"Although I am also well-versed in the art of formations, it would still take a lot of effort for me to build such a large formation on my own, even with the full support of the sect."
“Yes! The array patterns of this great formation are exquisite and its Daoist essence is profound... Could it be that Brother Chen Xuan, you had already comprehended the Great Dao of Array Formation a thousand years ago?” Another Holy Son couldn’t help but ask.
Faced with everyone's curiosity, Chen Xuan did not hide anything and gently shook his head: "When I left, this formation was only a top-grade Heaven-rank formation. I never imagined that after a thousand years, it would have been upgraded to a Pure Yang Grand Formation. It seems that this is the result of generations of clansmen continuously strengthening and replacing the formation's foundation."
Chen Xuan's lips curled into a playful smile as he looked at the crowd: "Come on, break through this formation and see how effective its defense is now."
Upon hearing this, Han Jiuling, Dao Yi, and Xuan Yi's eyes lit up, and they were all eager to try.
They were all top-tier holy sons, with strength comparable to true immortals. They were extremely confident in their own strength and curious about the defensive limits of this Pure Yang Formation.
As expected, even though the Xuanxiao Star's Realm-Suppressing Array was already at the Pure Yang level, it still couldn't withstand the combined attack of three True Immortal level experts.
The three attacked simultaneously, unleashing their supernatural powers. Brilliant divine light hurtled towards the great formation like shooting stars.
"Buzz—" The great formation trembled violently, and the radiant light surged, forming a thick light barrier to resist the attack.
But it only lasted for less than five breaths before the light barrier shattered with a deafening roar, and the radiant glow vanished completely. This great protective array that had guarded Xuanxiao Star for thousands of years had been breached in a single strike!
The moment the great formation shattered, the mountains, rivers, lakes, cities, and buildings inside the star were all exposed to the scrutiny of everyone's divine senses.
at the same time--
The capital of Xuanxiao Star, the Emperor's palace; the headquarters of the God-Slaying Guard, a place teeming with malevolent energy; deep within Wanbao Mountain, a place brimming with spiritual energy; the heart of Longxia County, the clan's ancestral home; on the shores of the Northern Sea, the ancestral land of the Beishan Clan...
A series of incredibly powerful pressures at the Celestial Immortal level suddenly erupted, soaring straight into the sky!
"Not good! The Xuanxiao Suppressing Realm Formation has been breached in an instant!" Inside the palace, Xuanxiao Moxin was shocked and furious. His immortal power surged out of control, and his natal battle armor covered his body like a stream of light. He carried the Heavenly Fox's primordial spirit clone on his shoulder and transformed into a dazzling stream of light, rushing out of the palace.
He had just flown out of the imperial city when he bumped into his uncle, Wuxin, who was rushing over.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with undisguised shock and unease.
"Immediately issue His Majesty's decree: the three thousand six hundred vassal kings are to summon all sects under their jurisdiction, the God-Slaying Guards, and all available Void Reversal Realm and Loose Immortals, to form a grand formation, and proceed to the summit of the starry sky. Assemble immediately!!!"
The shouts of the Heartless Ancestor echoed throughout the capital's residence of the three thousand vassal kings.
