However, before they had walked the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Yunni in the team suddenly changed her expression and warned, "Be careful!" The next moment, the formation disk in her hand shattered, and the array enveloping the four of them dissipated accordingly. Before they could react, the scene before their eyes changed instantly, and they found themselves on a cliff with gusts of whirlwind around them. Zhan Hongxiu placed a hand on the sword hilt, vigilantly looking around, frowning, and said, "Is this... an array?" Lv Cheng and Ning Xue positioned themselves into a defensive stance, protecting Jiang Yunni in the center, each drawing their swords, focused on their surroundings. "It is indeed an array, and it’s a grand formation unique to the Yuhua Immortal Sect," Jiang Yunni made seals with her hands, examining the surroundings, speaking with a strained tone. "Yuhua Immortal Sect?" Lv Cheng suddenly realized, reminding, "Be cautious. If it’s the Yuhua Immortal Sect people, it must be because Junior Brother Chen Yi is seeking vengeance on us." Zhan Hongxiu and Ning Xue clearly understood this as well—Chen Yi had previously massacred the entire Yuhua Immortal Sect on the Tianyuan Continent, so it was reasonable for the remnants of the Yuhua Immortal Sect to now plot against them. Zhan Hongxiu transmitted a sound to Jiang Yunni, asking if the array could be broken, while shouting aloud: "I don’t know which elder of the Yuhua Immortal Sect it is, but could you appear, so we might die with understanding?" She knew very well that anyone capable of setting up such an elaborate trap must have a cultivation strength far surpassing theirs, possibly more than one person. They couldn’t defeat them, so the only plan now was to stall for time and see if reinforcements could come from Youdu City. As soon as the words fell. A voice echoed within the array but did not respond to Zhan Hongxiu, speaking placidly, "Stop wasting your efforts, Jiang Yunni." "Is it... Elder Cheng?" Jiang Yunni recognized the voice, her face turning unpleasant, not forgetting to transmit sound to the others, explaining: "The person here is Elder Cheng Yun from the Qimen Lineage of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, highly accomplished in the Dao of formations!" Zhan Hongxiu immediately cupped her hands, saying, "So it’s Elder Cheng Yun. Junior Zhan Hongxiu once met Elder Cheng. You have trapped us here; have you thought about the consequences?" "Consequences?" From the void, Cheng Yun seemed to speak through clenched teeth, "My Yuhua Immortal Sect was slaughtered by your Junior Brother Chen Yi, tens of thousands died tragically, and you’re asking me about consequences?" Zhan Hongxiu looked up at the dim sky, saying seriously, "Of course I am asking. Even if you kill the four of us, you won’t harm Junior Brother Chen Yi in the slightest, and you will only get yourself killed. Don’t you think the price is too high?" Lv Cheng opened his mouth, wanting to advise Senior Sister to be cautious. Such words strike the opponent’s sore spot directly—if they could deal with Junior Brother Chen Yi, why would they come seeking us? "Ha, haha... Good, good, your Grand Void Sect people are very good!" Sure enough, Cheng Yun spoke through clenched teeth, "Let it be known that I came today, not planning to return alive!" "If you want to blame, blame it on Chen Yi. It won’t be long before he’ll join you at the Netherworld River!" Upon hearing this, the four of them frowned. Zhan Hongxiu once again transmitted a sound to Jiang Yunni, "Can you break this array?" "I can, but—but I need time!" Jiang Yunni, drenched in sweat, swiftly made seals with her hands, throwing out talismanic seals one after another. She also took out array flags from a pouch she carried and gritted her teeth, saying, "Inverse Feathered Ascension Array!" A fog enveloped the four of them, dispelling the violent winds around. "This formation will last for no more than an incense stick of time. Beyond that, it will be up to you." Jiang Yunni spoke quickly, then resumed making seals to break the formation. "Oh? Feather Transformation Heaven Array, Jiang Yunni, you truly are a formation genius of my Yuhua Immortal Sect," Cheng Yun outside the grand formation looked on with disdain, saying: "But that’s all it is—" No sooner had he spoken than the fog that had just arisen began to disperse rapidly, as if it would be broken and destroyed again in the next moment. Zhan Hongxiu frowned and took out the formation disk she carried, calling Lv Cheng and Ning Xue, to set up a formation together. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel•fire.net "Defend for as long as we can; if we can’t last, then we can only fight her!" Upon hearing this, Ning Xue set up the formation while touching a small wooden sword hanging around her neck—something Chen Yi had given her for self-defense when she left the Tianyuan Continent. Who would’ve thought it would be used today... She gritted her teeth and transmitted a sound to Zhan Hongxiu, "If we really can’t hold on, I’ll use Junior Brother’s piece of Sword Intent." "Alright!" Zhan Hongxiu responded without hesitation, their lives were the priority: "Once we meet Junior Brother Chen Yi, I’ll definitely ask him for another one to compensate you." Ning Xue smiled wryly inside; she didn’t care about the small wooden sword, she cared about whether they could meet Junior Brother Chen Yi. If it weren’t for this mission, staying in Youdu City, surely they could meet Chen Yi soon. "It’s useless, useless; today, you will surely die here!" Seeing this, Cheng Yun controlled the grand formation to launch wave after wave of attacks on them, the power so great that Jiang Yunni’s face turned pale from the hasty defense. "Originally, you were supposed to encounter several senior brothers elsewhere for interception. I was just a backup, to prevent you from taking a detour, yet it was indeed anticipated by that person." Zhan Hongxiu asked, "Elder Cheng, as far as I know, your Yuhua Immortal Sect should be under investigation by the ancestors. How could you come here from Earth Flame City? Was someone secretly letting you out?" Cheng Yun paused, then, with a mix of anger and shame, retorted, "On the brink of death, and you still have the leisure to concern yourself with these matters?"
