Chapter 1134: Chapter 687
Jiang Tang found this phenomenon very strange. Could the Sect Leader of the Invincible Sect possess a Magical Treasure capable of concealing Qi?
Or perhaps there are hidden chambers on this island, designed to conceal Qi!
A foreign Magic Artifact appeared in the skies above the Invincible Sect, causing the disciples to scurry around in panic.
Jiang Tang paid no heed to these lowly individuals. Earlier, he had told Eryao that for those with weak abilities, no Evil Qi, and little blood on their hands, he could either cripple their abilities, maim them, or punish them without killing!
The true powerhouses were within—he had to force them out and eradicate them!
Jiang Tang unleashed a massive pressure, intimidating the remaining servant disciples of the Invincible Sect. Trembling in fear, they found it hard to breathe. Even the resilient ground under them sank into a pit due to the overwhelming force.
Their bodies shrank lower and lower under the pressure, a testament to their submission and fragility. The mounting force pushed them closer to breaking, forcing blood to spill from their seven apertures, even threatening to shatter their souls.
The sight of their bodies collapsing into kneeling positions bespoke their limit; they would soon perish under such pressure!
Jiang Tang looked at the ordinary disciples—his intent was merely to punish them lightly. Despite their contemptible nature, some of them likely lacked the severity of sin carried by the Elders or the disciples steeped in heavy Evil Qi.
Within a gang of villains, those of lesser ability were often responsible for fewer atrocities!
After all, the stronger the ability of a wrongdoer, the greater their role as the backbone, the more malicious their schemes, and the more harm they inflicted!
It was even possible that the weak were so neglected by their superiors, rarely sent on missions, relegated merely to the sidelines of the Sect hierarchy.
Such individuals would undertake tasks akin to a maid or errand boy. Remarkably, this thieving Sect even had Spirit Fields for growing medicinal herbs and cultivating enchanted rice paddies.
Jiang Tang refrained from increasing the pressure further, having already located the strongest presences within the Invincible Sect. To his surprise, the Sect Leader’s Qi was nowhere to be found!
The powerful presences he detected led towards the area where the Sect Leader disappeared, leaving behind faint traces of Qi.
Could this Sect possess a Teleportation Formation or secret passage?
Jiang Tang was unaware whether other major families or grand sects of the Cultivation World had Teleportation Formations.
Perhaps such formations were a closely guarded secret of each Sect—formerly, he had never reached a high enough rank to learn the whereabouts of these formations!
What was certain, however, was that with enough money, one could use a Teleportation Formation to travel to distant places. But these formations were extremely taxing!
Of course, they weren’t prohibitively expensive. Some people preferred using Flying Artifacts, or simply their transportation tools, rather than relying on Teleportation Formations!
Sometimes, Teleportation Formations could be perilous tools—offending an unscrupulous individual, or activating a misplaced formation, might teleport you to a desolate and barren land. Returning would then become an arduous task!
Jiang Tang recalled hearing stories from the Cultivation World regarding individuals from the Capital City attempting to teleport to a destination for a competition, only to fall victim to treachery and find themselves transported to unimaginable locations!
Those individuals spent a year and a half struggling to make their way back.
When the competition organizers realized that certain participants from the Capital City were missing, they assumed those individuals had forfeited the contest. Only later, when the competition concluded, with prizes distributed and rewards allocated, did the Capital City receive a notice.
The Capital’s residents were enraged—they believed their participants had set out to compete but were sabotaged by those hosting the event.
Such blunders caused havoc until the stranded individuals managed to return.
Over time, Teleportation Formations fell out of favor in the Cultivation World. Even Pill Alchemists were held in higher regard than Array Masters.
Jiang Tang pondered whether Nanhuang had any Teleportation Formations.
During their time in Ten Directions City, they had only been focused on saving people and traversing ten cities, with no effort spared for searching such formations!
Death was widespread, silence blanketed their journey, and as they eradicated wickedness, formations were far from their minds.
In Pan City, when they ventured outside the city, they had no reason to consider Teleportation Formations!
After leaving the city, it hadn’t been long before they reached the vast sea. If such formations did exist, where would they lead?
Could one theoretically teleport from one island to another?
If so, what purpose would the sea vessels serve?
Previously, when their Magic Artifact sailed across the ocean, they often observed cultivators flying through the sky, occasionally spotting Flying Artifacts!
Jiang Tang speculated in confusion, yet couldn’t outright dismiss the possibility of formations existing here. This Sect emanated an ominous aura and might harbor secrets unattainable by other sects!
Whatever secrets this Sect concealed, Jiang Tang remained determined to retaliate against and prevent the escape of these formidable evildoers!
Descending from the sky, Jiang Tang cautiously approached the luxurious palace looming beneath him, keeping his guard up against the identified strong presences.
He had already detected them—these powerful figures were indeed hiding within the palace!
As he hovered above the palace’s roof, he sensed that the powerful individuals had entered a secret passage—or perhaps a hidden chamber!
