Chapter 456

In the main hall of the Yunzhong Palace, the six masters of the Six Lineages gathered.

Yu Feixian’s face was full of anger, and her beautiful face became extremely fierce: “They’re going too far! Those Eighteen Sects actually surrounded our Yunzhong Valley, without any regard for decency!”

Yue You’s face was gloomy: “Dozens of Unity Realm cultivators are surrounding the Yunzhong Valley, just waiting to exterminate us all!”

Wu Yao clenched her fists tightly: “How could it come to this…”

Yun Xiao sighed and said, “Sisters, it seems that our Yunzhong Valley has reached the end. As I said before, let’s find an opportunity to escape!”

Feng Ye Shuang furrowed her brows and asked, “What about the other disciples of the sect?”

Yu Feixian immediately sneered, “At a time like this, Sister, you’re still concerned about those useless disciples?”

Yue You said, “What Sister Feixian said is true. Let’s find another place, establish a new mountain gate, and cultivate a new generation of disciples.”

Feng Ye Shuang lowered her eyelids and remained silent.

Yun Xiao turned to ask, “How is the practice of the ‘Yunzhong Six Lineages Traveling Thousands of Miles’ going?”

Yue You revealed a smile and said, “If Sister hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that the ‘Yunzhong Immortal Technique’ had such a teleportation technique at the Unity Realm. I’ve only been practicing for a few days, and my teleportation technique has improved significantly. This successful escape has also given me more confidence.”

Yu Feixian also said, “Brother Yue is right.”

Yun Xiao smiled and said, “I didn’t expect there to be such a top-tier technique. I only discovered it by chance after returning from Lingsha Continent not long ago.”

However, Wu Yao looked somewhat worried and said, “Now that the Eighteen Sects have attacked the mountain, it seems that we won’t be able to continue practicing this teleportation technique. Even if our speed increases, it will be difficult to escape.”

The master of the Dust Lineage, Chen Gu Jing, remained silent and did not speak.

Yu Feixian continued, “Isn’t there a formation in the ‘Yunzhong Six Lineages Traveling Thousands of Miles’? When the six of us activate it together, our speed will more than double. I believe no one will be able to catch up with us! As long as the six of us travel together, no one in this world will be able to harm us.”

Yun Xiao nodded slightly in agreement.

Yue You asked, “Sister, when should we activate the ‘Six Lineages Formation’?”

Yun Xiao’s gaze drifted outside the door, and she said calmly, “No rush. We’ll wait until the Eighteen Sects launch a simultaneous attack, and then we’ll escape in the chaos. As for the other disciples…”

At this point, she sighed deeply and said, “Life and death are up to fate! I only hope that they can survive this calamity.”

The others nodded, their faces showing sorrow.

The disciples of the Yunzhong Valley were unprecedentedly solemn. After learning that the Eighteen Sects had ordered the extermination of all the disciples of the Yunzhong Valley, everyone was filled with determination.

They didn’t want to die like this; they were determined to keep the enemy out of the gate. And also…

Their gaze turned to the rear: “Moreover, Yunzhong Valley still has the six main Master Lineages, all of them are top-notch cultivators in the world, with tremendous power. They can definitely lead Yunzhong Valley to victory in battle.”

This became their only hope! There could only be one outcome, victory in this battle.

If they didn’t win, then everything would be lost. However, if they were really going to die, they would at least take a few with them…

Su Hao controlled ninety-six flying nails to shoot into the surrounding mountains. After three days, the Misty Illusion Array was set up. With a wave of his hand, a layer of red and blue mist gradually rose up around Su Hao and the others. An outer layer of white mist appeared, covering the inner red and blue mist, blending into the surrounding mist array.

Su Hao said, “Master, Senior, the Three-Day Misty Illusion Array has been set up. You must not step into the surrounding red and blue mist area, or you won’t be able to fight for three days.”

Seeing everyone nodding in curiosity, Su Hao continued, “If there are external cultivators entering the range of the Three-Day Misty Illusion Array, they will likely lose their way and be unable to maintain their balance. You just stay here and use flying swords to kill them. Even if it’s a Nascent Soul cultivator, there’s no need to fear.”

Then he turned to look at Feng Ling and said, “If you really encounter someone you can’t defeat, Master, you activate that stone immediately, understand?”

Feng Ling covered the location of the stone at her chest with one hand, nodded, and then worriedly asked, “Feng Wei, where are you going?”

She wasn’t worried about Su Hao’s safety, she was worried about her own safety! At this critical moment, with Su Hao not by her side, she always felt insecure.

Su Hao casually said, “I might need to help elsewhere. I’ll go around.”

Just then, the surrounding mist suddenly brightened, as if the sun was shining directly above everyone’s heads.

Soon, a sharp sound came from the sky.

“Whoosh—Thud—”

Su Hao and the others immediately looked up, but apart from the mist, they couldn’t see anything.

However, Su Hao’s spiritual sense faintly hinted to him that a cultivator had launched an attack in this direction.

Su Hao immediately said, “Master, Senior, the enemy has launched an attack. Be careful.”

Feng Hua’s face showed a serious expression. The chain-type magic weapon was hidden in her sleeve, ready to be activated. Various shields tightly wrapped around her, high-speed teleportation was ready to go, ready to dodge at any time…

Feng Ling and Feng Cheng also activated all the magic weapons Su Hao had given them. As long as enemy cultivators entered this area, they would immediately turn them into a hornet’s nest.

Without making Su Hao and the others wait long, the first wave of enemies was guided to this place by the protective mountain formation.

Vaguely, a figure wearing a thick yellow shield broke into this place.

Feng Ling and the others’ hearts immediately tensed up.

However, what surprised everyone was that as soon as the cultivator broke into Su Hao’s Three-Day Misty Illusion Array, he immediately stumbled like he was drunk, fell to the ground crookedly, unable to stop his momentum. After rolling a few times, he stopped a hundred meters away from everyone, his legs wildly struggling and kicking, like a motorcycle out of control spinning in place, uttering meaningless words from his mouth, but the fear in his voice was audible.

“Golden Core cultivator!” Feng Hua exclaimed in shock, not expecting to encounter a Golden Core cultivator as soon as they arrived!

But… what was going on?

Just as Feng Hua was puzzled, Feng Ling’s heart trembled, and ‘Green Swallow’ by her side instantly activated, piercing through the hundred-meter distance, puncturing the shield of the Golden Core cultivator, and nailing him to the ground.

The Golden Core cultivator rolled on the ground even faster, like a spinning top.

Feng Cheng also eagerly shot out the newly acquired flying shuttle, stabbing randomly a few times. Soon, the Golden Core cultivator stopped moving altogether!

The Golden Core cultivator’s master, Feng Hua, was somewhat stunned for a moment. This wasn’t quite what he had expected.

After dealing with the first Golden Core cultivator, another Foundation Establishment cultivator rushed in. Just like before, after rushing into the Three-Day Misty Illusion Array, he fell to the ground as if drunk and was quickly killed by Feng Ling and Feng Cheng.

Feng Hua suddenly felt that the flying Yin chains hidden in his sleeves were a bit tricky, so it was better not to take them out!

About ten seconds later, two more cultivators were sent in, one Golden Core cultivator and one Foundation Establishment cultivator. After rushing in, they lost their balance and fell to the ground. Their shields were broken by Feng Ling’s magic weapon, and then they were shot to death by Feng Cheng.

At this moment, Feng Hua’s mood was extremely complicated. He felt a scalp-numbing sensation from Su Hao, Feng Ling, and the others’ methods, but at the same time, he was grateful that he was on their side.

“If…” Feng Hua simply couldn’t imagine. At this moment, he finally understood why Su Hao had emphasized not to enter the red and blue mist. Just thinking about it made him shudder.

Seeing that there was no danger here for the time being, Su Hao said directly, “It seems like there’s no big problem here. I’ll leave for a while.”

After Su Hao finished speaking, he opened a gap in the Three-Day Misty Illusion Array and walked out slowly, disappearing into the mist.

At this moment, Feng Cheng shouted, “Master, another one is coming!”

Feng Ling was so scared that she almost activated the locator stone. She quickly turned her head and saw the intruder already rolling on the ground.

Without hesitation, she immediately shot out the sharp Green Swallow. With Feng Cheng’s assistance, they killed the enemy in just a few moves.

At this point, whether the intruder was a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Golden Core cultivator no longer mattered.

Feng Cheng was itching to try, “If a Nascent Soul cultivator comes in and gets killed by my flying shuttle…”

Killing a Golden Core cultivator with Qi Induction cultivation level made him excited just thinking about it.

Feng Hua had also tried to use his flying sword to kill the Golden Core cultivator who rushed in, but then he embarrassingly discovered that his flying sword, when used with full force, could only break through two layers of the enemy’s shield…

Feng Hua couldn’t help but say, “Little Feng Ling, what’s wrong with your flying sword?”

Feng Ling looked at the raggedy thing in Feng Hua’s hand, looking surprised, “Huh, Master, why are you still using this kind of magic weapon? Didn’t you ask Feng Wei to help you refine a better one?”

Feng Hua: “…”

Su Hao walked out of the mist and, avoiding everyone’s sight, teleported himself outside of the Yunzhong Valley.

The moment he appeared, Su Hao immediately felt the huge boulder pressing on his spiritual sense being moved away, as if a rainy day turned into clear skies for thousands of miles. His spiritual sense once again regained its perception range of 100,000 meters, and that feeling of being in control of everything returned.

Su Hao regained his senses and looked back at Yunzhong Valley shrouded in mist. He couldn’t help but mutter, “Outside the sect, I can’t sense anything in the mist. The Protective Mountain Formation is indeed powerful.”

    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."
