Chapter 342: Battle of Tianlan (4)
This horrifying scene was seen by all the disciples present.
This disciple was merely asking questions as a matter of routine, and even if he had overstepped his bounds, he would not be punished with death.
However, he was killed on the spot by Uncle Xu.
Assaulting and killing a fellow disciple, and doing so within the sect, in full view of everyone, even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot escape the punishment of the sect's rules.
But with the lessons learned from the previous incident, who dared to step forward and say another word? A few disciples who were the first to react and realize that something was wrong also retreated quietly and wanted to leave the teleportation hall.
Some people have even taken out their identity tokens, ready to be summoned to report the matter.
"Wouldn't it be better to let you live a little longer? Why are you so eager to die? In that case, I will grant your wish."
As the words fell, a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the teleportation array hall.
Everyone present was crushed to the ground, unable to move at all, let alone escape or communicate. Even their spiritual consciousness was suppressed and could not leave their bodies.
The disciples stationed outside the teleportation hall were sucked into the hall by a huge force before they noticed anything.
During this period, no sound was heard in the hall.
Only the overflowing spiritual energy and the faint smell of blood indicated what had happened in the hall.
It was also during this period that the Tianlan Sect prohibited everyone from teleporting in and out, which resulted in no one coming and going here, and there was no possibility of noticing anything unusual.
Only the extinguished soul lamps in the Patriarch Hall and the True Teaching Hall proved that something big had happened in the Tianlan Sect.
However, even if the disciple guarding the Soul Lamp reported it, it was too late.
At this moment, in the hall, except Xu Jinzhong standing there expressionlessly, there was no other living person. Only the splashing blood proved their existence.
The light of the teleportation array also rose to its limit, and the spiritual light completely formed a beam of light.
When he fell again, there were eighteen more figures in the formation.
The auras of these people are of different levels, including Nascent Soul and Core Forming cultivators.
They were all holding means of self-defense and defense, and were watching their surroundings with caution.
Especially when he felt the blood and energy spreading around him, he became even more alert, as if he was ready to take action immediately if something went wrong.
However, when they saw Xu Jinzhong standing in the Shura Field, they all breathed a sigh of relief and roughly understood the current situation.
Then he walked down the teleportation array.
However, just as they were about to exchange pleasantries with Xu Jinzhong, bursts of bell sounds were heard outside the hall, each one louder than the last.
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly set up the formation. The changes here have been discovered by the Tianlan Sect."
Xu Jinzhong's expression changed instantly, and he immediately shouted at the eighteen people in front of him.
Then everyone felt the ground veins shaking, and an extremely powerful force was gathering from all directions.
"A great sect protection formation? Quick."
All eighteen people were suddenly startled and dared not continue to be leisurely.
Immediately they formed groups of two, turned into afterimages and scattered in all directions, landing around the teleportation array hall.
And the chosen location seems to follow a certain pattern.
They quickly took out a large pile of rare materials and started carving at their respective locations.
Xu Jinzhong took out a talisman and activated it without any hesitation.
The next moment, the terrifying force that was about to attack was blocked by a similar force.
The eighteen people who felt this situation also breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to stop their actions at all.
What blocks this great force is the protective formation of the teleportation hall.
This formation is connected to the sect protection formation, so it can naturally borrow the power of the sect protection formation. It is like a person wrestling with his hands. Even if there is a gap, how can the winner be determined immediately?
However, the protective formation of the teleportation hall is only a part of the sect protection formation.
Even if Xu Jinzhong holds the token of this formation, he will not be able to control it for long, and he will soon be deprived of his authority by the sect protection formation.
What these eighteen people have to do is to set up another formation during the period when their authority still exists.
This formation is not a complete formation, but the core of a larger complex formation.
This formation is called the Nine Yuan Heart-Destroying Formation.
As for the Nine Yuan Heart Destroying Formation, it has only one function, and that is to break the formation with another formation.
To complete this formation, in addition to arranging nine fifth-order sub-formations on the periphery of the formation to break it, a core formation must also be arranged inside to draw in the power of these nine sub-formations.
In this way, as long as the Tianlan Sect's protective formation is still within the scope of the fifth-level formation, it will definitely be broken by the Nine Yuan Destroying Heart Formation.
These eighteen people are the formation masters and grandmasters gathered from the three sects in the Eastern Region, just to set up the core of the Nine Yuan Destroying Heart Formation in a short period of time.
And Xu Jinzhong was naturally the hidden man planted by Xuanyuan Sect in Tianlan Sect. If he had not waited for a long time, when it was his turn to teleport to the hall, the three sects in the Eastern Region would probably have to continue waiting.
As for him, he was actually a spy sent by Xuanyuan Sect, but the person who used means to control him died unexpectedly.
There was no one to control him, and no one else in Xuanyuan Sect knew of his existence, so he kept his identity as a hidden man secret and decided to stay in Tianlan Sect.
His aptitude is above average, and he has achieved something in the Tianlan Sect.
However, when he first entered the Jindan stage, he was secretly persecuted many times by a family of the Tianlan Sect because he accidentally obtained a treasure. Even his relatives died tragically.
However, Tianlan Sect knew the truth but let this man go simply because they had no concrete evidence.
From then on, he hated the Tianlan Sect.
Even if the sect compensated him with resources, they would even help him to form an infant when he was at the peak of the Jindan stage.
But the hatred in his heart towards Tianlan Sect still could not be extinguished.
In his mind, the Tianlan Sect, which tolerated the existence of his family lineage, was a mistake in itself.
Afterwards, he went to Xuanyuan Sect again and proved his identity as a hidden man.
But even with the help of Xuanyuan Sect, he still failed to wipe out the entire family.
This further strengthened his determination to destroy the Tianlan Sect.
Although the Tianlan Sect completely wiped out the family lineage this time, in Xu Jinzhong's opinion, destroying the family lineage is not upholding justice.
It's just that he has encroached on too many interests of the Tianlan Sect and has rebellious intentions, so he can no longer be tolerated.
Therefore, he would never give up his plan to destroy the Tianlan Sect because of this incident.
At this moment, the core formation of the Nine Yuan Destroying Heart Formation has gradually taken shape, and the nine branch formations outside the Tianlan Sect are also ready to go.
"The formation has been formed. Everyone, follow me and operate the formation."
The eighteen formation masters naturally could not be negligent. If they could not break the Tianlan Sect's protective formation in time, they would probably not escape death today.
After all, this matter has been planned for many years, and a death order was given before coming. If this matter cannot be accomplished, even if their lives are not taken, their future days will not be easy.
