They felt so wronged, yet the white-bearded Sect Master of the Luoxian Sect showed no reaction. His wise eyes flickered slightly. He didn't care about the life or death of a junior, even if one of them was a prodigy of their sect!
However, he was more interested in the "great fortune" and "possession" mentioned by Jin Baoer! He had collaborated with the clan earlier because he had sensed some hidden secrets within the clan, which led him to actively cooperate with them, even willing to risk his entire sect to test and hunt down Jin Baoer...
He was old!
His lifespan of thousands of years was nearing its end. Only the clan's method could grant him a new life, a young body, thousands of years of longevity, and an exceptionally talented spiritual root! These were all things he yearned for.
Patriarch Gong Jue was furious, his face ashen as he glared at the nine individuals! He said grimly,
"Since you have possessed the bodies of those children, why do you still desecrate them like this? Forcibly increasing your cultivation is tantamount to cutting off your own future!"
Were not bodies of exceptionally talented youths as common as cabbage to be wasted so carelessly?
After he spoke, others also shifted their gaze to the few individuals, sharing the same thought. However, they saw the other individuals looking calm and disdainful! Their faces darkened, sensing a bad omen.
Lin Lang Liuli snorted, and a truly disgusting smile appeared on her wrinkled face, her eyes gleaming with intense malice!
"So what! Aren't there plenty of ready-made ones? Hehe..."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone, having already sentenced them all to death in her heart! Her final gaze fell upon Patriarch Gong Jue, who had spoken out, and she smiled eerily...
"The Gong Jue family has a young man named Gong Jue Miyin, I think he's quite suitable! The Mingquan family's Mingquan Yunmu seems to have good talent as well! The Jinchi family..."
As she spoke slowly, everyone's faces grew increasingly grim! Their already flushed faces turned ashen. These were their sons, yet they were being judged like tools, their utilitarian value spoken of so casually...
Meanwhile, the Buddhist Child and the Pavilion Master of Juesha Pavilion, who had remained silent throughout, still said nothing. Then, they heard...
"I hear the Juesha Pavilion has a young prodigy of the Heavenly Dao King realm, with decent strength!"
The Pavilion Master's expression remained unchanged, but killing intent instantly surged in his eyes, fixing directly on Lin Lang Liuli...
As the head of assassins, he was all too familiar with killing intent! Although the old man before him hadn't moved or revealed his aura, the way he looked at them was as if they were already dead. His heart tightened...
Today! A fierce battle was inevitable!
The Buddhist Child looked at Jin Baoer, his expression filled with compassion and gravity...
"Amitabha, do you know the consequences of losing the Dragon Ancestor today? The Seven Great Families will perish here, and you will be no exception!"
Jin Baoer nodded slightly, her expression indifferent! Her tone was mocking, yet her demeanor was elegant!
"According to you... it was I who made you all gather at the clan? It was I who made you hear those words just now? It was I who caused your family disciples to become puppet tools? Or did I force you to curry favor with the clan and be their lackeys?"
"Heh! If not for what happened today, would you have ever known the truth even if all the younger generations of your families died off one by one? If you don't thank me, you still want to push the blame onto me? Do I owe you anything?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted a thousand times, turning dark and red in turns! They wanted to retort but didn't know what to say.
Honestly, what Jin Baoer said seemed to have no fault! The clan clearly treated them like livestock and slaves to be farmed. They had rushed here today for fear that the Buddhist Child would discover some secret benefits, only to encounter this series of events.
Moreover... they had no connection with Jin Baoer; in other words, they might even harbor some resentment!
The Buddhist Child blushed deeply upon hearing her words and lowered his head in shame! He had lost his composure... He chanted a mantra for inner peace.
The Pavilion Master of Juesha Pavilion looked at Jin Baoer, a hint of admiration and pity flashing in his eyes! Her line of reasoning was quite clear, but he wondered if she would even be alive after today. They didn't believe the clan only had such a small number of experts!
Lin Lang Liuli had been listening for a long time and was already impatient! She was annoyed by Jin Baoer's tone of voice now!
"Have you finished your last words? None of you will be leaving today!"
As she finished speaking, she glanced sideways, tapped her cane on the ground twice, and quickly turned to leave...
The few people beside her followed closely. The vast square was instantly enveloped by an invisible barrier, without the slightest pause, it suddenly appeared! Everyone inside was shocked and quickly attacked the barrier, trying to escape, but it was too late!
Jin Baoer glanced around, her eyes narrowing!
This was a very peculiar barrier; spiritual energy couldn't penetrate it, so her teleportation talismans were likely useless! Touching it sent a slight electric current, causing a stinging yet numbing sensation... It was more like a formation. A formation that was integrated with a barrier without a core.
There were very few formation masters and talisman masters in the Upper Realm; it would be hard to find even two who could achieve this level!
A trace of spiritual energy light flashed, and she followed it with her gaze, landing on a middle-aged man. She saw him forming hand seals, chanting incantations, and his cultivation was only at the Heavenly Dao Saint realm, yet he stood close to Lin Lang Liuli...
It was him! The one who provided talismans and pills to the clan! The teleportation talisman used by that so-called elder brother last time must have come from him as well.
Bai Wuxi sensed a sharp gaze fixed on him and broke out in a cold sweat. When he opened his eyes, he looked at her with terror, meeting Jin Baoer's icy stare. His heart tightened, and he instinctively took two steps back!
Only after noticing Jin Baoer's position did he slightly relax! His gaze became even more gloomy and contemptuous as he stared at her.
This formation was something he had tested countless times and researched for hundreds of years. Not to mention a Heavenly Dao Emperor, even a Heavenly Dao Sovereign would not be able to walk out alive if they entered! Unless they obtained permission from the formation's master! This was also why he could stand beside the clan patriarch at this moment...
He had known for a long time that Jin Baoer knew formations, but so what? A snot-nosed brat? Heh!
Regarding this, Jin Baoer's curiosity and competitive spirit were stirred!
She also had some research on formations, otherwise, Chu Tianlin's Refining Sect might have been leveled by the Seven Great Families long ago! But this was the first time she had seen such a formation. She had thought the other party would directly send some Heavenly Dao Sovereigns to fight them.
"Did you create this formation? Who are you? The Upper Realm clearly prohibits cultivators like formation masters, yet you possess such power?!"
Upon hearing the surprise in her tone, the middle-aged man arrogantly glanced at her! That condescending gaze was incredibly irritating!
"Hmph, little girl! You should have heard of my name in the Lower Realm... Dan Liu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and looked at Jin Baoer disdainfully, but he did not see the shock and respect he expected! He frowned...
