Chapter 1273: Chapter 1267: Trap
Chapter 1273: Chapter 1267: Trap
Jade Mist Valley was quite large; it was like several large towns.
Deep underground beneath a towering mountain, a circular array formation engraved with profound runes could be seen on the ground.
Now, the brilliance of the circular array was fading.
Several corpses lay on the ground, clearly killed in a single strike.
A massive diamond-shaped crystal floated in the air, connecting to the Tier-3 spirit vein beneath the earth veins of Jade Mist Valley.
There were nine such diamond-shaped crystals, which also served as the most fragile array foundations of the Nine Dragons Divine Knot Jade Mist Array.
Li Tianming stood on the ground where the diamond-shaped crystal was located, looking at the scattered fragments. Behind him was Linghu Tiangong.
A deafening roar echoed from outside the mountain.
It was the signal that the grand array had been broken.
Linghu Tiangong’s voice sounded exceptionally loud in the somewhat empty cave.
Amidst the radiant colors emitted by the shattered spirit stone, his tone felt somewhat sinister.
“The array is broken. The commotion outside is from the people of your Azure Cloud Li Clan battling the guardians of the array foundations. You all…”
Linghu Tiangong stared at the ground, his face gloomy. “You have been far too careless.”
As his words fell.
Li Tianming, standing in front of the diamond-shaped crystal, sharply narrowed his eyes.
Behind him, a powerful Void Refinement aura instantly erupted.
This Void Refinement aura was filled with absolute resolution and murderous intent.
The cave shook violently, rocks tumbled down, and stone pillars emerged from the cave floor, crisscrossing wildly.
Array formations formed within the stone pillars, subsequently causing the entire cave to generate a binding sensation as if sinking into quicksand!
Linghu Tiangong sprang into action, his Spiritual power erupting suddenly as he appeared instantly behind Li Tianming.
“Boom!”
An explosive sound rang out instantly. Where Li Tianming had been, only a burning talisman remained. “You are quite vigilant!”
Linghu Tiangong sneered fiercely, raising his head to look at the figure who had already floated up, hovering in the gaps between the constantly crisscrossing stone pillars.
“Are you crazy?!!”
Although Li Tianming had dodged this sneak attack from behind, even his innocent personality was now filled with burning fury.
Had it not been for the vigilance of the “big brothers” in his soul, he would likely have been struck down.
He stared in disbelief at Linghu Tiangong, who had launched the sneak attack.
Where was the lonely and desperate demeanor that Linghu Tiangong had displayed at the very beginning?
Linghu Tiangong stared mockingly at Li Tianming. “I am not crazy. The ones who are truly crazy are you all.”
“You…”
Li Tianming was stunned. He didn’t understand. It was Linghu Tiangong who had led them to break the Linghu family’s grand array.
To protect Jade Mist Valley, Linghu Tiangong should logically have accepted this deal. Yet now he violently rose up to kill him?
“The ones who are crazy are you all. No… rather, you aren’t as smart as you think you are!”
Linghu Tiangong laughed loudly. “Did you all truly believe that I, Linghu Tiangong, am the sort of person who would betray my sect and betray my Ancestral Master?!!”
“What did you say?”
Li Tianming’s face instantly turned deathly pale. He looked at Linghu Tiangong in sheer disbelief. “But… you led us to break the grand array, you…”
At this time.
Outside Jade Mist Valley, cultivator after cultivator charged into the valley.
“The time is up.”
Li Wei looked at the broken grand array and stated softly.
“Kill!” A trace of disbelief flashed through Zhangsun Feng’s eyes, her heart filled with astonishment.
She hadn’t expected that the Li Clan had actually planted a chess piece inside Jade Mist Valley to break their array formation.
But there was no time to marvel at the resourcefulness of the Azure Cloud Li Clan.
The women of the Zhangsun Clan were as brave as any man. With a single command, she had already charged into Jade Mist Valley.
The cultivators of the three prefectures were all invigorated, closely following behind one after another.
Body Integration realm cultivators were the fastest. Many Body Integration experts had already taken the lead and arrived inside Jade Mist Valley!
“Good, good, good!”
Xuanyuan Liqun laughed approvingly at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, who was leading the Li clansmen inside. “As expected, your Li Clan had a method after all.”
He turned his head, his expression having already grown steady and composed.
Entering Jade Mist Valley meant a great battle; what they were about to face was a Half-Immortal!
He had long wanted to test his mettle against a so-called immortal, and immediately fixed his gaze on Immortal Linghu in the distance.
But as he stared at Immortal Linghu, Xuanyuan Liqun’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Calm!
In the distance, Immortal Linghu displayed not the slightest hint of panic.
Instead, he floated in mid-air, completely ignoring the gathering Spiritual power of the cultivators from the major prefectures behind him, the corners of his mouth curling into an unconcealed, mocking sneer.
“Something is wrong…”
It wasn’t just Xuanyuan Liqun; the numerous Body Integration cultivators who had charged into Jade Mist Valley all sensed that something was highly unusual.
Zhangsun Feng abruptly raised her head to look at the cloudy sky, only to see that the grand array, which had vanished, was actually slowly… restoring itself!
The cultivators outside were sealed off.
The cultivators of Jade Mist Valley and the Peerless Hall closed in from all directions. They were forming array formations, wielding Dharma Treasures, talismans, and puppets…
The Fox Saint floated over to Xuanyuan Liqun’s side and let out a pitying sigh toward the trapped mighty figures of the three prefectures.
“Everyone… you have fallen into a trap.”
