    Chapter 456

    Inside the main hall of Yunzhong Palace, the six Masters of the Six Lineages gathered once again.

    Yu Feixian's beautiful face was filled with anger, her usual smile long gone.

    "They've gone too far! Those eighteen sects have completely surrounded Moonwatch Valley. They don't even care about keeping up appearances anymore!"

    Yue You's expression was equally grim.

    "Dozens of Unity Realm cultivators have surrounded us. They're clearly determined to wipe Moonwatch Valley off the face of the cultivation world."

    Wu Yao slowly clenched her fists.

    "...How did things end up like this?"

    Yun Xiao let out a quiet sigh.

    "My fellow brothers and sisters... it seems Moonwatch Valley has reached its final days."

    "As I said before..."

    "We must find an opportunity to leave."

    Feng Ye Shuang frowned.

    "What about the disciples?"

    Yu Feixian immediately sneered.

    "At a time like this, you're still worrying about those useless disciples?"

    Yue You nodded.

    "Junior Sister Feixian is right."

    "We can always establish another mountain gate elsewhere."

    "Once we've settled down, we can recruit another generation of disciples."

    Feng Ye Shuang lowered her eyes.

    She remained silent.

    ...

    Yun Xiao turned toward the others.

    "How is everyone's cultivation of the Yunzhong Six Lineages Thousand-Mile Journey progressing?"

    Yue You finally smiled.

    "If Senior Sister hadn't mentioned it, I would never have known the Yunzhong Immortal Art contained such a teleportation technique specifically for Unity Realm cultivators."

    "I've only practiced it for a few days, yet my movement technique has already improved tremendously."

    "This gives me much greater confidence in escaping successfully."

    Yu Feixian nodded.

    "I feel the same."

    Yun Xiao smiled faintly.

    "I also only discovered it after returning from Lingsha Continent."

    "It was pure coincidence."

    Wu Yao, however, looked worried.

    "Now that the eighteen sects have begun attacking the mountain..."

    "I'm afraid we won't have enough time to continue practicing."

    "Even if our speed increases considerably, escaping won't be easy."

    Chen Gu of the Dust Lineage remained silent from beginning to end.

    He still did not utter a single word.

    Yu Feixian spoke again.

    "Doesn't the Yunzhong Six Lineages Thousand-Mile Journey include the Six Lineages Formation?"

    "If all six of us activate it together, our speed more than doubles."

    "I don't believe anyone in this world can catch us."

    "As long as we remain together..."

    "No one will be able to harm us."

    Yun Xiao nodded slightly.

    Yue You asked,

    "Senior Sister..."

    "When should we activate the Six Lineages Formation?"

    Yun Xiao's gaze drifted beyond the palace doors.

    "Not yet."

    "We'll wait until all eighteen sects launch their full assault."

    "When chaos breaks out..."

    "That will be our opportunity."

    "As for the remaining disciples..."

    She sighed deeply.

    "Life and death are left to fate."

    "I only hope some of them survive this calamity."

    The others quietly nodded.

    Sadness filled every face.

    ...

    Throughout Moonwatch Valley, the atmosphere had become unprecedentedly solemn.

    After learning that the invading sects had issued orders to exterminate every disciple without exception, everyone understood one thing.

    There would be no mercy.

    There would be no surrender.

    If they wished to survive...

    They had to defend the mountain gate with their lives.

    Their eyes instinctively turned toward the deepest part of the valley.

    There...

    The six Masters of the Six Lineages still remained.

    Each of them was one of the strongest cultivators in the entire cultivation world.

    As long as they were still here...

    There was hope.

    That hope became the final pillar supporting every disciple.

    Victory.

    There could be no other outcome.

    Otherwise...

    Everything would be lost.

    If death truly awaited them...

    Then they would drag as many enemies down with them as possible.

    ...

    Su Hao quietly released ninety-six flying nails into the surrounding mountains.

    Three days later...

    The Three-Day Misty Illusion Formation was complete.

    With a wave of his hand, red and blue mist slowly rose from the surrounding area.

    Another layer of white mist spread over it, perfectly blending into the mountain-protecting formation.

    No abnormalities could be seen from outside.

    Su Hao looked toward Feng Ling and the others.

    "Master."

    "Senior."

    "The Three-Day Misty Illusion Formation has been completed."

    "Whatever happens, do not step into the red-and-blue mist surrounding us."

    "If you do..."

    "You won't be able to fight for three days."

    Seeing everyone nod, he continued,

    "If enemy cultivators enter the formation..."

    "They'll most likely lose all sense of direction."

    "They won't even be able to maintain their balance."

    "You only need to stay here."

    "Use your flying swords."

    "Kill them."

    "Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator enters..."

    "There's no need to panic."

    He then turned specifically toward Feng Ling.

    "Master."

    "If you encounter someone you truly can't defeat..."

    "Activate the positioning stone immediately."

    "Understood?"

    Feng Ling instinctively covered the stone hidden beneath her robes and nodded.

    Then she looked at him worriedly.

    "Feng Wei..."

    "Where are you going?"

    She wasn't worried about Su Hao.

    She was worried about herself.

    Whenever Su Hao wasn't nearby...

    She felt inexplicably uneasy.

    Su Hao answered casually,

    "I may need to provide support elsewhere."

    "I'll take a look around."

    ...

    Suddenly...

    The surrounding mist brightened.

    It was as though the sun had suddenly risen directly overhead.

    A sharp whistle echoed through the sky.

    Whoosh—

    Boom!

    Everyone instinctively looked upward.

    All they could see was endless white mist.

    Only Su Hao's spiritual perception vaguely sensed an incoming attack approaching this area.

    He immediately said,

    "The enemy has begun attacking."

    "Stay alert."

    Feng Hua's expression instantly became serious.

    The chain artifact hidden inside his sleeve silently prepared itself.

    Multiple defensive barriers wrapped tightly around his body.

    His movement technique was already ready to activate at any moment.

    Feng Ling and Feng Cheng likewise activated every artifact Su Hao had given them.

    The moment an enemy appeared...

    They intended to turn them into pincushions.

    ...

    They did not wait long.

    The mountain-protecting formation guided the first enemy directly into their area.

    A vague figure emerged through the mist.

    His body was covered in thick yellow defensive barriers.

    Feng Ling and the others immediately became tense.

    Yet something unexpected happened.

    The instant the cultivator stepped into the Three-Day Misty Illusion Formation...

    He staggered violently.

    It was as though he had become completely drunk.

    He stumbled several steps before crashing headfirst onto the ground.

    Unable to regain his balance, he rolled continuously across the earth.

    Only after tumbling over a hundred meters did he finally stop.

    Even then, both legs continued kicking wildly.

    His entire body spun frantically in place like a motorcycle whose wheels had lost traction.

    Terrified cries escaped his mouth.

    No one could understand what he was shouting.

    Only the fear in his voice was unmistakable.

    "Golden Core Realm!"

    Feng Hua gasped.

    He had never expected the very first enemy to be a Golden Core cultivator.

    But...

    What exactly was happening?

    Before he could think further—

    Feng Ling acted.

    Green Swallow instantly transformed into a streak of green light.

    It crossed a hundred meters in an instant.

    Pierce!

    The Golden Core cultivator's defensive barriers shattered.

    The flying sword nailed him firmly to the ground.

    The man rolled even faster.

    Like a spinning top.

    Feng Cheng hurriedly launched his newly acquired flying shuttle.

    The shuttle stabbed repeatedly.

    After only a few strikes...

    The Golden Core cultivator stopped moving altogether.

    ...

    Feng Hua stood frozen.

    This was completely different from what he had imagined.

    ...

    Soon afterward...

    Another Foundation Establishment cultivator was guided into the formation.

    Just like before...

    The moment he entered...

    He lost all balance.

    He collapsed onto the ground like a drunkard.

    Before he could recover...

    Feng Ling and Feng Cheng had already finished him off.

    ...

    Ten seconds later...

    Another two enemies arrived.

    One Golden Core cultivator.

    One Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    Their fate was identical.

    The moment they entered the formation...

    They collapsed helplessly.

    Feng Ling shattered their defenses.

    Feng Cheng finished them off.

    The entire battle ended before Feng Hua even found an opportunity to act.

    ...

    Feng Hua's emotions became extremely complicated.

    Watching Su Hao's formation...

    Watching Feng Ling and Feng Cheng casually slaughter enemies...

    His scalp tingled.

    At the same time...

    He felt deeply fortunate.

    Fortunately...

    They were allies.

    If...

    He didn't even dare imagine becoming their enemy.

    Only now did he finally understand why Su Hao had repeatedly warned them never to step into the red-and-blue mist.

    Simply imagining it made chills run down his spine.

    ...

    Seeing everything under control, Su Hao spoke.

    "It looks like there won't be any problems here for now."

    "I'll leave for a while."

    He opened a gap in the formation.

    Then slowly walked into the surrounding mist.

    Soon...

    His figure disappeared completely.

    ...

    At that very moment...

    Feng Cheng suddenly shouted,

    "Master!"

    "Another one's coming!"

    Feng Ling was startled so badly that she nearly activated the positioning stone immediately.

    She hurriedly turned around.

    The newcomer had already fallen flat onto the ground.

    Without hesitation...

    Green Swallow flew out once more.

    Together with Feng Cheng's flying shuttle...

    The enemy was quickly killed.

    After several more encounters...

    Neither of them even bothered checking whether the newcomer was at Foundation Establishment or Golden Core.

    It no longer mattered.

    Feng Cheng became increasingly excited.

    "If a Nascent Soul cultivator enters..."

    "Could my flying shuttle kill one too?"

    The mere thought of using Qi Induction cultivation to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator made his blood boil.

    ...

    Feng Hua had also attempted to use his own flying sword.

    Unfortunately...

    He soon discovered something rather embarrassing.

    Even when attacking with all his strength...

    His flying sword could only break through two layers of a Golden Core cultivator's defensive barriers.

    After a long silence...

    He finally couldn't help asking,

    "Little Ling..."

    "What's wrong with your flying sword?"

    Feng Ling looked at the tattered flying sword in his hand with genuine surprise.

    "Huh?"

    "Master..."

    "Why are you still using such an old artifact?"

    "Didn't you ask Feng Wei to refine one for you?"

    Feng Hua:

    "..."

    ...

    After leaving the mist...

    Su Hao made sure no one was watching.

    Then he activated Teleportation.

    The next moment...

    He appeared outside Moonwatch Valley.

    The instant he emerged...

    It felt as though an enormous mountain pressing against his spiritual perception had suddenly disappeared.

    Like dark storm clouds giving way to a clear sky stretching for thousands of miles.

    His spiritual perception instantly expanded once again.

    One hundred thousand meters.

    Everything within that range returned to his control.

    Su Hao slowly came back to his senses.

    Turning around, he looked at Moonwatch Valley hidden beneath the endless sea of mist.

    He quietly muttered,

    "From outside the sect..."

    "I can't perceive anything inside the mist at all."

    "The mountain-protecting formation..."

    "It truly deserves its reputation."
