"That's right. Those golden giants are all derived from the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Array with the immense power of metal …"
The golden armored giants rode on horses that were half a zhang tall. They were vigorous and powerful. Their hooves created wind, and their horses roared like thunder. They were extraordinarily mighty.
The golden armored giants were more than ten zhang tall. They were strong and powerful. They looked stern and proud as they rode on their horses.
The blades were two zhang long and three chi wide. They were the size of a door. They were murderous and shrouded in murderous intent. Cold light flashed.
The armored horses numbered more than two thousand. They were divided into twelve groups: Yingzi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. They were the twelve Earthly Branches.
Rat, Chou Ox, Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit, Chen Dragon, Si Snake, Wu Horse, Wei Goat, Shen Monkey, You Rooster, Xu Dog, and Hai Pig.
Rat, Pig, Tiger, Dog, Rabbit, Rooster, Monkey, Snake, Goat, Horse, and Six Directions.
This was the Thousand Blade Hell. It was an array that combined the twelve Earthly Branches. It was a killing array that corresponded to the Six Directions.
This was a killing array. Once the array was activated, it would definitely be a feast for the God of Death. However, it was hard to say whether Jing Yunfeng and the others could make it here.
"If you want to see what a feast for the God of Death is, wait first. Let them resist the blade rain. If they don't die by then, I'll tell them to get lost. Then I'll show you what a Thousand Blade Hell is and what a feast for the God of Death is!"
Qingyue flipped her hair and said with great admiration, "They can't even get through the door. Your array is really powerful!"
Yun Shisan nodded and said, "I didn't expect this either. I didn't expect this array to be so powerful. I also didn't expect them to be so weak."
He knew that the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Array would become stronger with time.
However, the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates had become so powerful in such a short time. This was beyond his expectations.
Another thing that he didn't expect was that the other party knew that Qingyue was in Qinglian School. Even if they sent Lu Wuchen to hold them back, they would at least consider other unexpected factors. They would definitely send one or two Immortals of the Yin Spring Realm to hold the line to prevent any accidents.
However, the strongest of the other party were only in the Cold Spring Realm. Moreover, there were only Jing Yunfeng and Hun Dingtian.
"Shisan, you're awake?"
At this moment, Yun Xi walked up with Mo Wanqing.
Yun Shisan sneered in his heart. He had been awake for so long. Wasn't she asking the obvious?
He didn't believe that she didn't know. When the primordial spirit scared her away, she probably already guessed that he would wake up soon.
Yun Shisan walked over in a few steps. He carried the sleeping Lu Wuchen in one arm and grabbed Mo Wanqing's lily-white hand with the other.
When Mo Wanqing saw Yun Shisan reaching for her, she instinctively retracted her hand.
However, how could her speed be faster than Yun Shisan's? She was caught in an instant.
Yun Shisan grabbed Mo Wanqing's jade-like hand and said with a fake smile, "Wanqing, why have you become so distant?
This is not the person I know. "
With her jade-like hand grabbed, her heart was in a mess. She stammered, "Maybe, maybe, I haven't seen you for too long, so I'm not used to it."
Pretend? Let's see when you'll stop pretending.
Yun Shisan sneered in his heart.
"Come, come. You'll be bored if you stay in your room all the time. Come, let's watch the show!"
Yun Shisan dragged Mo Wanqing to the side of the mirror image and said, "Look, these people are attacking our Qinglian School. They're now trapped in the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Array."
Yun Shisan turned to Yun Xi and said, "Help bring a chair over. Let Wanqing sit down and watch. It's good for her cultivation to gain more knowledge."
Yun Shisan turned his gaze back to the mirror image. He let go of Mo Wanqing's hand and pointed at Ye Xuanying's position in the mirror image. "Look, this is a mountain created by the array. It eats people.
These people seem to be from the Taiyuan Sect. Many of their people have already been eaten. It's a pity that you didn't see it. But it doesn't matter. The best part is yet to come.
Look here. Knives are raining down from the sky. Those people who died have become a pile of meat paste. It's not much different from ketchup. Look here … "
Yun Shisan pointed at the mirror image. He seemed to be very attentive in his introduction to Mo Wanqing, but in reality, he knew what he was thinking.
"Look here. This seems to be the Sect Master of the Sovereign Sect, Luo Yutong. She's also encountered the same situation as the Taiyuan Sect. However, it seems to be slightly better.
Look here. This is the Taiyuan Sect. His luck is better. As long as he climbs over this flaming mountain, he'll be able to reach the next exit.
Look, the Frost Sect isn't as lucky as him. The sky is filled with golden lightning. These are all heavenly lightning … "
Yun Shisan introduced them one by one to Mo Wanqing, but Mo Wanqing seemed as if she'd been possessed when she saw the miserable state the Sovereign Sect was in, and she was dumbstruck like a wooden chicken. No one knew what she was thinking in her heart, so she didn't hear what Yun Shisan introduced them to her at all.
More than half of Luo Yutong's group had been killed or injured, and she'd lost her composure from before.
As she watched her disciples die one after another, the expression on her face was as brilliant as it could be. It was simply indescribable. There was regret, resentment, self-blame, guilt, pity, and pity.
She hadn't cultivated the Indifference Technique, so she wasn't able to be emotionless and without desires. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been swallowed by greed and lured by benefits.
Mo Wanqing stared at this scene without blinking, and a trace of sparkling and translucent light appeared in her eyes.
"Wanqing, Wanqing …"
After a long time, Mo Wanqing recovered from her shock and hurriedly withdrew her gaze. She didn't dare continue looking at that horrifying scene.
"Wanqing, what's wrong?
I've called you for so long. Why do you seem to have been possessed? "
Mo Wanqing shook her head and lightly closed her eyes. After a long time, she asked in a slightly heavy voice. "Is this all real?
Is it an illusion? "
She still had a trace of hope in her heart. She hoped that this was an illusion and not real.
If this was real, then her sect's losses would be too great. Many of those people were people she knew, and some of them were even close to her.
She couldn't bear to see them die one by one, and even those who hadn't died were facing great danger.
She hadn't cultivated the Indifference Technique, so she couldn't ignore this scene. She couldn't coldly watch from the sidelines.
However, she couldn't expose her identity. She could only hope that this scene was fake, that everything she saw was an illusion.
However, Yun Shisan ruthlessly shattered her fantasy. "This is all real. This is a killing formation. There are no illusions. Even if there were, it would be an illusion focused on killing."
Mo Wanqing's heart trembled. Her delicate body swayed, and she almost fell.
Yun Shisan supported her back and asked with concern, "What's wrong?
Are you feeling unwell?
Wait a while longer, Yunxi has already gone to get a chair. "
Mo Wanqing steadied herself and pushed Yun Shisan's hand away, and then she shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I just feel like this. Isn't it too cruel?"
Could she say that she felt unwell?
Could she say that she felt heartache for the deaths of her fellow disciples?
She couldn't unless she wanted to expose her identity.
She didn't know that once her identity was exposed, then it would be utterly impossible to retrieve the male Gu. If she couldn't obtain the male Gu, then it would be impossible for her to retrieve the female Gu.
Moreover, she didn't know if she would be able to leave with her life once her identity was exposed.
She didn't know how Yun Shisan would treat her once he found out that she was a disciple of the Sovereign Sect and an Elite Disciple of the Sect Master, Luo Yutong.
Perhaps only she felt that her identity was still a secret, but in Yun Shisan's eyes, it was already extremely transparent since a long time ago.
He just didn't want to expose it because it wasn't the time yet.
Yun Shisan shook his head and said, "Even though I feel that you've changed, but it looks like you haven't changed at all. You're still so kind-hearted and saintly."
Yun Shisan emphasized the last sentence especially heavily because how could he not understand what Mo Wanqing was thinking at the bottom of her heart?
Since Mo Wanqing arrived at the side of the mirror, her gaze had never left the scene of the Sovereign Sect, and even if she withdrew her gaze in the end, she didn't spare a glance at any other place.
If she was really kind-hearted, then she would only stare at a single spot; if she was really saintly, then her gaze would only cover the entire cultivation world.
Mo Wanqing's delicate figure trembled, and she said in a slightly stiff voice, "No matter how I've changed, I'm still me. But the feeling I give you is perhaps slightly unfamiliar. This is caused by us being apart for such a long time, and I've never been able to communicate our thoughts and chat happily with you."
Keep pretending, keep pretending as if it's real. If I didn't know your identity, I would have almost believed you.
Yun Shisan criticized endlessly in his heart, and he nodded and said, "Perhaps. After this matter is over, we can chat under the moonlight, but …."
Yun Shisan pointed at the mirror and continued, "You said it's cruel, but do you know where this place is?
Do you know what this formation is used for?
You should be very clear that this is the Mountain Guarding Grand Formation of the Qinglian School. I didn't place this Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Grand Formation at their entrance, nor did I invite them here, nor did I force them to break through the formation. You should be very clear on their objective for coming here.
You're only looking at the scene in front of you. If it wasn't for this Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Grand Formation, what would have happened to the disciples of my Qinglian School?
Have you thought about what would have happened to them?
I know you're kind-hearted, but I'm not a ruthless person either. However, if they came knocking on my door, I wouldn't have opened the door to welcome them, nor would I have swept the floor to welcome them. Don't you think so?
Perhaps it's a little cruel from your point of view, but you can put yourself in my shoes and look at things from a different angle. Perhaps you'll be able to see things more clearly. "
Yun Shisan's words left her speechless. No matter what, the Qinglian School was in the right.
This was someone else's Mountain Guarding Grand Formation. They didn't ask them to attack the Qinglian School, nor did they invite them to be guests.
They had evil intentions and were blinded by greed. They had evil intentions and wanted to take things by force. Who could they blame for this?
However, she couldn't just watch her fellow disciples die one by one. She pretended to be calm and said, "They came to attack the Qinglian School, and that was their fault. But now you have victory in your hands, and everything is under control. Why do you have to kill more people?
Just teach them a lesson. There's no need to kill so many people. Heaven is virtuous. It's the cycle of karma, and retribution is not good. "
