Chapter 479 - 185: Hongze Camp at Full Strength, Preparing for Battle on the Grassland_5
```
"What should we do?!"
"..."
It wasn't until over twenty cultivators had died that the remaining cultivators finally dared not continue forward, but since they did not dare to disobey orders, none of them fled.
They looked down anxiously, scared and restless.
Hoping the person in charge of this sect mission would have an idea.
"Trap him to death!"
Hong Jun had also seen that Gui Qi was defying the natural order.
He quickly made a decision, "Take out all the talismans the ancestor gave you, and then form the array again, slowly grind him to death!"
This person, after all, is from the mortal realm.
And the old master had said.
Gui Qi doesn't have much life left!
The confrontation at the ends of the earth must have inflicted injuries on him.
Now, he probably is a spent force.
If they trapped him and maintained the formation with a vast number of spirit stones, eventually he would be worn down to death!
"Form the array!"
"..."
The cultivators, one by one, took out their precious talismans that they had been reluctant to use, and according to the positions they had practiced beforehand, formed the array. Then even more array flags arrayed in the air, and a tremendous amount of spirit stones infused with spiritual power.
"Om rumble—"
The Luotian Array was deployed.
The cloaked demon was trapped within.
With spirit stones as the source of energy,
The array continuously unleashed spell attacks, not painful, but nagging, chipping away at the opponent's strength.
"Look at you all, so flushed and desperate."
Sun Xiangzong continuously parried the attacks, sneering, "I was just going to say a few words to you, but you insisted on fighting and killing, making me seem like I'm bloodthirsty!"
"Gui Qi!"
"Om—"
In the southern sky,
A streak of light, like a falling star, flew from the Tianya Sea, eventually stopping in front of the demon.
Within it,
Came the voice of that ancestor.
"Speak!"
"Where are the other three Ancestor Veins?!
"If you cooperate, I can still spare the lives of your relatives in the mortal realm!"
"..."
"There is no Ancestor Vein of spirit.
Sun Xiangzong said coldly, "There is indeed a Slaughter Vein, do you want to help out and exterminate the Ancient Demon Clan?"
"Slaughter Vein..."
From within the streak of light, a cold snort sounded, "Stop beating around the bush, I am asking you for the last time. If you do not cooperate, I will eradicate your bloodline, I mean what I say!"
"Boom!"
Sun Xiangzong didn't waste any more words.
He suddenly lifted his long spear and thrust it forward.
With one blow, the streak of light shattered.
"Gui Qi, you..."
The ancestor's words had not yet finished when they abruptly ceased.
"All you cultivators, listen up!"
"From this day on!"
"You must not enter the mortal world, intervening in mortal affairs!"
"Leave now, while there's still time!"
"Arrogant!"
Hong Jun flew down from the sky, "A dying man still dares to spout such nonsense!"
Amidst layers of formations.
```
The Demon Gui Qi slowly took out a talisman.
But this talisman of his,
was completely different from those used by cultivators.
It was not talisman paper,
but rather a Jade Token.
Even with the discerning eyes of the cultivators present, they could not tell what rank the talisman belonged to or what function it served; they could only see that as a trace of Spiritual Power was infused into it, waves of dense, highly compressed Mana pulsed from within.
It was as if...
in the canopy above,
a deep blue ocean appeared out of nowhere, followed by an abrupt eruption of a tsunami.
"Boom!"
In an instant,
the Formation carefully constructed by hundreds of cultivators lay in tatters, and they, shocked and dismayed, scattered in all directions like startled birds.
After this surge of blue light shot into the sky, it did not pierce through the heavens but was blocked a thousand feet in the air, as if by a shield obstructing its path, and this "shield" subsequently became visible.
That was...
a Seal!
A Seal left by an Ancient Power many years ago!
Looking across,
at the ends of the earth, a faint glimmer of golden light could be seen.
This world of theirs,
the entire Eastern Continent, was enveloped in the light's embrace.
It was like an upside-down Big Bowl, separating them from the Great Thousand World.
Yet, this "Big Bowl" had become old and worn with the passing of time, and at the edges, countless tiny cracks had formed. The Transmission Arrays at the ends of the earth were situated at the fault lines between these cracks.
"Humming...
The Jade Talisman transformed into a meteor racing towards the sky, then streaks of light flew out from it, accurately landing on the cracked parts of the Seal, much like mending torn fabric. Where the light fell, the Seal gradually recovered.
The orb of light carrying the voice of the Patriarch appeared once more.
"Quick!"
"He's reinforcing the Seal!"
"Stop him!"
"..."
Once the Seal is reinforced,
those within the Cultivation World who wish to enter the Mortal Realm may not know how much time and effort it will cost them!
"The one who kills Gui Qi!"
"shall protect our clan's Immortal path!"
The stakes were raised to yet another dimension.
But the scene before them,
was not something these low-tier cultivators dared to meddle with.
"How can you reinforce a Seal of Ancient Powers?!"
"What exactly is that Jade Talisman?!"
"..."
It was nothing short of a fantasy!
The cultivators couldn't even begin to fathom the extent of the implications.
Quickly,
the Patriarch transmitted a message.
Hong Jun, acting on behalf of the Patriarch, gave the order: "Since we can't stop the reinforcement of the Seal, we must retreat from this place!"
Leaving behind over a hundred cultivators in the Mortal Realm would be sufficient for revenge against the Sun Family and would allow the search for the locations of other Ancestor Veins, granting their Sect a head start in the hope that one day they might reopen a gateway to the heavens.
"Leave?"
However,
the power within the Jade Talisman soared again, directly forming a Boundary that spanned the entire sky, blocking all paths to the Mortal Realm, with chains extending from within.
"I am not one who delights in slaughter,"
Sun Xiangzong, surrounded by a Silver Dragon, formed incantations with his hands, his voice sounding like a ringing bell: "All cultivators here may choose to return to the ends of the earth, or else leave your lives behind!"
What do you think?
