586: Chapter 413 586: Chapter 413 These Powerful Ancestors, “…” Are they really that terrifying?
Is this the thought process of ordinary people?
Shouldn’t low-capability individuals worship such dignitaries when they see them, or seize the opportunity to receive good fortune, and be favored by these Powerful Beings, which could help them advance further on their path of cultivation?
The ancestors felt speechless.
Were they really as dreadful as natural disasters and ferocious beasts?
Just when the ancestors were starting to wonder if they had been out of touch with the times for too long, the mountains of gold and silver below suddenly disappeared.
The dazzling energy vanished in an instant, right before the eyes of everyone in broad daylight.
Jiang Tang, who was in the midst of upgrading and had not yet solidified his cultivation level, noticed this as well.
So did the ancestors who were continuously storing energy within their meridians for future use.
Some cultivators who shared this thought also felt the energy disappear in a flash.
Gazing upon the shimmering golden and silver lights flickering on the mountain below, which now returned to its original state without the Golden Dragon, they could see from high above a densely packed throng of cultivators, each of them moving in various ways.
Suddenly, the formation disappeared, and those in the Illusion Realm regained their senses.
They all wore puzzled expressions as they looked at the person opposite them, and at the throngs of people around them.
Others returned the gaze with the same look, their hands stopped in the motions they were performing at the moment of awakening.
Thus, the cultivators, dense as ants, inadvertently struck each other in their movements.
Those who were hit, not willing to let it slide, started fighting among themselves.
Even those without prior animosity could not hold back in the heat of battle.
In an instant, the entire mountain became a battlefield teeming with armies.
No one had yet suffered casualties, but the scent of blood lingered in the air.
Those in the midst of battle only believed that the other party had wounded them, causing blood to flow.
The other side also thought they were injured by someone else, and that prompted them to fight desperately, using a grand medley of spells, spiritual energy, and Spirit Talismans.
Jiang Tang suddenly withdrew the formation.
He felt so helpless.
Having stayed here too long, he couldn’t wait for these Great Powers to come to their senses; he had to lead his people to swiftly escape.
He had no choice but to act this way.
His two bases still needed construction, and summoning those Great Power Holders would mean competing for resources.
Jiang Tang understood that these Powerful Beings were like cats that had caught the scent of fish.
If they were truly discovered, a lot of trouble would ensue.
His dream of bringing the Saint Sect to the Cultivation World was not only for personal wealth but also to build enterprises and sweep through the world like capturing every woman and family in one stroke.
The individuals on the flying ship were also baffled by Jiang Tang’s sudden change of situation.
They were constantly learning and had not yet grasped the ultimate mysteries of the formation.
They were curious about how the Powerful Beings would open the formation and how many days it would take.
The sudden disappearance of the formation left them with perplexed faces.
Jiang Tang didn’t take much time to explain to them and quickly activated his Magical Treasure to leave the area swiftly.
He knew those Powerful Beings were not weak and hadn’t reacted yet.
If they managed to regain their senses soon and pursue him over thousands of miles, escape would be difficult.
Jiang Tang had already made his flying ship invisible and was flying at the highest speed.
He knew there was a sea not far from here where he might be able to hide for a bit, and with the suspicion of the men in black, these people would definitely not have their lair far from here.
Although Jiang Tang operated the flying ship quickly, the dozen or so Powerful Ancestors stood dumbfounded for a moment before starting to search for the target with their powerful hands in the surrounding area.
“Amitabha, how come so many have died?” The Buddhist Sect Ancestor, true to his scriptures, had a compassionate heart.
Seeing the densely packed crowd on the mountain, some of whom had hurt others or were injured themselves, what troubled him the most was that there weren’t just one or two men in black who had perished.
It seemed the fighters had not noticed; the state of the dead suggested that they had not died in the last hour or two.
It looked as though they had died the previous night.
Apart from this group of men in black, others had only been injured.
The Buddhist Sect Ancestor found it strange.
If the people on the mountain were fighting each other for no reason, turning the place into a battlefield, they might as well have joined the military instead with that kind of strength.
Of course, the Ye Family Ancestor shared this thought.
These people were not fighting a foreign enemy but their own compatriots.
They were powerful with nowhere to direct their strength.
So, the Buddhist Sect Ancestor and the Ye Family Ancestor both acted at the same moment, freezing the movements of those fighting on the mountain instantly.
Those who were ‘hit’ by acupoint strikes couldn’t move; their postures were frozen in the middle of their actions.
Some were suspended in air, some were mid-gesture, and others stood on the ground.
Holding Magical Treasures and Spirit Talismans, they were unable to proceed with their intended actions because their bodies were immobilized.
When the Taoist Sect’s Chief Zhang saw their predicaments, he waved his hand.
With but a slight movement of his sleeve, all the cultivators on the mountain were lifted into the air because of his gesture.
In a flash, the mountain was bare, not even a corpse remaining.
Seizing the opportunity, the Taoist Sect Ancestor cast a spell and not a speck of dust was left of that deep mountain.
It was a display of moving mountains and overturning seas; the great mountain was translocated elsewhere.
On a sea not far away, a ship sailing towards Ancient Xia Country was suddenly crushed by a mountain that had flown across the sky, sending the vessel and everyone on board sinking into the water.
Those who hadn’t had the chance to respond became mere dust within the massive mountain.
