Chapter 1927 The Formation Cannot Be Broken

Soon, Ye Cangtian sensed a stronger fluctuation of spiritual power and walked forward to investigate.

There were three figures, seated on the ground like statues.

These must be the formation bases of the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation.

Ye Cangtian mused to himself and then led his men forward.

As soon as they reached the three, their eyes snapped open simultaneously, and they uttered in unison, "Those who dare to destroy the great formation shall die!"

This... m..oΓg

Seeing their vacant eyes, Ye Cangtian frowned.

These were all disciples of the Flying Cloud Pavilion. They must have used some forbidden technique to forcibly enhance their spiritual power and then set up the grand formation.

From their hollow eyes, it was evident that their souls were severely damaged, leaving only the most basic consciousness to guard the formation. They were no different from walking corpses.

How ruthless of the Flying Cloud Pavilion! To even sacrifice the lives of their own disciples!

Filled with anger, Ye Cangtian spoke, "Xueqi, Bingyao, you two stay back. Leave this to me. Your mission is to intercept anyone coming to reinforce."

"Alright!"

Xueqi and Bingyao nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Ye Cangtian said no more and strode towards the three Flying Cloud Pavilion disciples.

Hum hum hum...

As soon as he took a step, Ye Cangtian felt a spiritual power fluctuation. Instantly, a spear formed of spiritual power pierced towards him.

What!

Ye Cangtian was shocked.

He hadn't expected that mere disciples of the Flying Cloud Pavilion, who seemed to have ordinary cultivation, could materialize their spiritual power through their combined attack.

Now he understood why Daoist Rain Star had fallen into their hands.

Thinking this, Ye Cangtian dared not be careless. He activated his Heavenly Eye on his brow and, with a wave of his hand, unleashed the Chaos Seal and the Darkness Seal.

These two seals were excellent at suppressing spiritual power. Using them would also reduce his consumption, as there were more formation bases waiting for him to destroy.

The next moment, Ye Cangtian fired a Soul Piercer, which directly shattered the three disciples' spiritual attack and penetrated their bodies.

Following this, a series of pained wails came from the three. After a short moment, they collapsed heavily onto the ground.

Ye Cangtian looked at the bodies of the three, his brow furrowed.

Although the entire process seemed effortless, it was only for him.

His spiritual power had reached the stage of transformation, and with the assistance of the Four Great Seals, it was not difficult for him.

However, for anyone else, it would have been life-threatening.

After all, the difference between spiritual power that had transformed and spiritual power that had not was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian's eyes showed another hint of confusion.

Those who could be used to sacrifice for the great formation likely held no significant position within the Flying Cloud Pavilion, and were definitely not as powerful as Soul Three.

Since Soul Three had not reached the Heavenly level of spiritual power, it was impossible for these three, even with their secret techniques and combined efforts, to reach the transformation realm.

What was going on?

As he pondered, Ye Cangtian stepped forward, preparing to examine the three.

But as soon as he reached them, Ye Cangtian detected a spiritual power fluctuation.

Following the sensation, he saw a white jade tablet appear in the center of the three.

Picking up the jade tablet, Ye Cangtian suddenly understood everything. This jade tablet was connected to the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation.

The jade tablet had absorbed a significant amount of spiritual power from the formation and then transmitted it to the three, forcibly elevating their spiritual power by a tier.

Having figured it all out, Ye Cangtian directly crushed the jade tablet and then turned his gaze to Xueqi and Bingyao.

Because Ye Cangtian had destroyed the formation bases so quickly, the Flying Cloud Pavilion had not yet discovered it, so there were no reinforcements coming at the moment.

Seeing this, the three said no more and returned directly to the teleportation gate.

Through the teleportation gate, they returned to the Hidden Group's inn.

At this time, Kong Kong had established two more teleportation gates. Seeing this, Ye Cangtian, without hesitation, led his people into one of them.

...

The sky grew increasingly dim.

On the city walls, Qingyan and Yi Feipeng's gazes became increasingly heavy.

Disciples from various factions were now on high alert within the city gates, but Ye Cangtian had not yet returned.

Ye Cangtian's absence meant that the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation had not been lifted, and therefore, they dared not attack rashly.

After all, the vast majority of those present had not cultivated spiritual power. To challenge the Flying Cloud Pavilion's spiritual power formation was sheer fantasy.

It was precisely because of this that Qingyan and Yi Feipeng became more anxious.

"Pavilion Master Qingyan, if Ye Cangtian truly cannot break the great formation, I think we need to consider the Flying Cloud Pavilion's conditions."

After an unknown amount of time, a man in black, the leader of the Black Feather Gang, Ning Mo, spoke beside Qingyan.

"What did you say!"

Qingyan suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Ye Cangtian had risked his life, along with the Hidden Group, to destroy the formation for all factions. Even if he failed in the end, he deserved everyone's reverence and gratitude.

Yet, not only did they show no gratitude, but they now wanted to agree to the Flying Cloud Pavilion's conditions. They were simply ungrateful beasts.

Sensing Qingyan's killing intent, Ning Mo began to sweat profusely and quickly said, "Pavilion Master Qingyan, I don't want to do anything to Ye Cangtian!

But you must understand, it's not just us here; there are countless civilians as well! Sacrificing one person, Ye Cangtian, to save everyone – this trade is worth it..."

As he spoke, Ning Mo glanced at the leaders of other factions, intending to incite them.

However, wherever his gaze fell, all the leaders looked indifferent, and not a single one spoke in support.

Most of these people had emerged from the Mustard Seed Space, and they had all witnessed Ye Cangtian sacrificing himself for the greater good, which had ignited their passion.

Furthermore, they had been saved by Ye Cangtian, so even if they were to die now, they would not move against him.

Hmph!

Qingyan was very satisfied with the performance of the other factions.

The next moment, he coldly snorted at Ning Mo and said, "Even if Ye Cangtian cannot break the great formation, we will fight to the death against the Flying Cloud Pavilion and will never betray him!

If you have such thoughts, we don't mind eliminating you first!"

This...

With those words, Ning Mo's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. From the expressions of the crowd, he realized that these people absolutely supported Qingyan.

Because of this, he immediately backed down and said, "Pavilion Master Qingyan, please calm your anger. I was only considering everyone..."

There was no other way. In this situation, he did not dare to say anything further.

However, before he could finish speaking, Qingyan and Yi Feipeng suddenly started, and then a hint of excitement appeared in their aged eyes.

The two had already discovered that the formation, which had been slowly draining their spiritual power, had stopped. This indicated that Ye Cangtian had successfully broken the formation.

The next moment, Qingyan quickly spoke, "Everyone, listen to my command! The great formation is broken! Everyone, immediately leave the city and pursue the Flying Cloud Pavilion..."

"Yes!"

As the voices spread, everyone became excited. The leaders of each faction immediately responded and then led their people rushing out of the city gates.

...

In the forest.

Soul Three sat in a large tent, hosting a banquet, drinking with Liu Dingshan, Sun Xu, and Qin Cang.

At this moment, the three were all smiles and drinking with great enjoyment.

Being humiliated at the peak was one thing, but now they had managed to trap all the factions in the city, forcing them to agree to their terms. This was absolutely gratifying.

"Lord Soul Three, I will continue to rely on the Flying Cloud Pavilion. Come, let me toast you again..."

Sun Xu's voice rang out, and Liu Dingshan and Qin Cang also raised their wine glasses simultaneously.

Everyone understood that while the current situation was pleasant, it was accompanied by severe hidden dangers.

After this incident, a great battle would likely erupt within the ruins, and whether they could survive and advance further would depend on the Flying Cloud Pavilion's disposition.

Therefore, they had to curry favor with the Flying Cloud Pavilion as much as possible.

Hearing Sun Xu's words, Soul Three laughed heartily and said, "Everyone, rest assured. As long as you are all loyal to the Flying Cloud Pavilion, and after the world is reshuffled, it is not impossible for the Flying Cloud Pavilion to support you in becoming peak powers..."

Before Soul Three could finish speaking, his expression changed. He had already sensed that the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation had stopped.

This could only mean one thing: the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation had been destroyed.

But how was that possible!

The eight formation bases of the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation were all powerful spiritual energy formations.

Furthermore, the Desolate Mountain, Tianyuan Sect, and Snow Peak, the three great powers, had also set up spies in the direction of the Misty Rain Tower.

Under such circumstances, even a Heavenly level expert could not have silently destroyed the entire formation!
