Volume 11.5 Chapter 78 Its Time About View Page Source Additional Resources Visitor Testimonials

Thank you for taking care of me over the last few days. Its time I get going. Ming Feizhen got up and wriggled out his body.

Ruisi had heard Ming Feizhen spout plenty of nonsense already. Therefore, she brushed his remark off as him spitting drivel again. You can leave, sure, but you have to dismantle the formation first.

Sure.

The casters brains couldnt keep up with the madness that came out of Ming Feizhens mouth.

Once he was done with his mobility routine, Ming Feizhen asked, Why are you taken aback? You trapped me to force me to break the formation, didnt you? The sun rock disrupts my bodys balance, prohibiting me from utilising my internal energy. The only way to dismantle the formation is to ignore the balance and give myself up to the energy. Thats your plan, correct?

I see

See what?

We were told that, if you refused to break the formation if you ever found yourself trapped, you mustve seen through our agenda. I didnt believe it, but I do now. You really are likely to be the person weve been searching for.

Ming Feizhen tugged up a corner of his lips. Well, your leader is a genius to come up with this idea. Your formation uses your casters life force as its foundation. Else, even with the sun rocks aid, theres no way you couldve suppressed the energy inside me. Forcing me to break the formation indicates that you know everything.

We do, indeed. If you think your words will deter us, you can save your breath.

I know that you know, and I know talking wont get me out; however, at the very least, allow me to warn you once. Ming Feizhens eyes turned red as though it was his will. Undo it.

As if he chanted a spell, a big cracked formed on the rock.

Undo it!

Sky Palace members were ready to lay their lives down for their sect if it was ever needed; even though his voice could knock the blood out of them, they refused to release the formation.

Undo the formation! You all want to die?!

***

Miguo leisurely rose to his feet, glowing the same crimson colour as Hua Qings chest. There was no need for him to rush when Wugou had knocked himself out due to blood loss; Wugou was consigned to h.e.l.l even if Miguo didnt touch him. Actually, many, many people at Shennong were in the same shape as Wugou. Hands in a pranam pose, Miguo quietly recited, We are all in it together. I shall bring to you salvation.

The relic in Hua Qings s.h.i.+rt soared in Miguos direction, stopping ten metres away from the latter, where it remained floating.

Sensing the immense energy radiating from Miguo, Shen Wuzheng remarked, The formation is innovative. This one is grateful to learn something new today. There was nothing in his tone to suggest that he was scared in the slightest. Since you can draw a thousand peoples essence into the relic simultaneously, it should be full soon, right?

You speak too highly of this one, Constable Shen.

Did the consequences of your actions ever cross your mind?

Miguo deployed a nod. n.o.body here will survive. This one knew was aware what the result would be when he first set foot in the Central Plain and chose this path.

Returning to the scene, Yungu brayed, Miguo, what is this formation?! Why is it not our formation? When did you switch the formation?!

Miguo chose Shennong as his base because of the a.s.sortment of rocks in the area. While there mightve been some special ones - not that hed know about or cared to find out - the majority of them were but ordinary rocks. The sole purpose he needed them for was to hide the real formation he intended to deploy.

Then original scheme was to absorb all the energy from Miguo Branchs disciples into the relic, empowering Miguo to heal and enhance himself before going off to battle Ming Feizhen. Unfortunately for Sky Palace, Miguo switched out the script they gave him without their knowledge.

Miguo shut his eyes as he placed his hands together devoutly. Subsequently, Yungus proprioception felt distorted due to her life force feeling as though it was trying to escape from her body and trying to resist.

Even though Yungu was erudite on the technique, she didnt know everything there was to know. Absorbing an enormous volume of energy and essence was a cornerstone of Sky Palaces secret arts that they were proud of. Absorbing life force, a more insidious method, was a different case as it was directly linked to ones life. The delicate process of absorbing life force wasnt something Sky Palace specialised in.

Miguo wasnt educated on Sky Palaces mental cultivation disciplines or how they circulated energy, rendering it impossible for him to smoothly suck out their life force. That was why his method of draining their energy hurt Yungu. If it was violent enough, it could kill. Whether for better or worse, Lotus Cult didnt have any skill that could turn it into an a.s.sa.s.sination skill - one could count on one hand the number of factions who could kill with it.

There are only four places that this sort of formation can be cast: Divine Moon Cults Scorched Imperial Capital, League of a.s.sa.s.sins tomb, Sky Palace and Valley of Villains, Miguo stated.

Without one of the four said factions a.s.sistance, there was no way a renegade monk of Lotus Cult could provoke Sky Palace and get away with it. As to which faction it was there was only one of them that werent present. The rest was self-explanatory. Having said that, Miguo had to check every casters background before he could trust them to deploy the formation.

Valley of Villains You dare use us? Teeth clamped, Yungu uncorked the hardest palm she could muster, only for the relic to absorb her energy projectile before it could find its target.

Linger, lets go. Shen Wuzheng, heading to the steps leading down, didnt take action for killing Miguo wouldnt undo the formation.

Why are we saving them? Leng Jingliu locked his brows together.

Shen Wuzheng scrubbed his disciples head and smiled. Theyre still alive, arent they?

Understood. Leng Jingliu then cast his gaze Miguos way. How about him?

Leave the rest to him.

Leng Jingliu didnt need to ask who him was because the answer came to him before he opened his mouth.

La.s.s Yun, had you given the order a moment slower, all your companions would be dead by now.

Yungu was in too much pain to speak or open her eyes, yet she hiked up a corner of her lips.

Surveying the venue, Ming Feizhen stopped his red eyes on Hua Qing and deployed a nod of acknowledgement that Hua Qing reciprocated.

Its in your hands now, choked out Hua Qing.

Upon spotting Miguo, Ming Feizhen explained, Flipping baldy! whilst closing in and then drove his fist into Miguos chest. Go to h.e.l.l!
