Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 503: Chapter 222 Various Parties Take the Stage_2

“`

Many prodigies had been confronting each other inside the Enlightenment Pavilion for some time, yet the absence of the inspector taking action to stop them was enough to prove that the inspector had already sided with the Crown Prince.

Shen Yuan remained unmoved, merely saying with a light chuckle,

“Starting a dispute within the Enlightenment Pavilion should have been their problem, but they deliberately turned it into a grand conflict, ignoring their own issues and even using the threats of their backing sects and noble families.

Such tactics are too clumsy and forced, it’s clear that they are somewhat in a hurry, fearing that today’s events will be resolved and they will not complete their tasks smoothly.”

As these words were spoken, Xia Yunqiu’s gaze grew even colder, sweeping over those who had echoed their support.

She was unclear about the true inheritor of the sect, but she recognized those prodigies from the Imperial Capital noble families in an instant.

“The son of Marquis Fengping, the second son of Prince Changning, the contemporary Earl Zhongyi… Behind these people is not only the Crown Prince but even the figures of the 6th Prince and the 7th Prince.

Have they already made up their minds to join forces and take me down first?”

The unwillingness in Xia Yunqiu’s heart grew stronger, and she couldn’t help but look up at Shen Yuan,

“Taoist Priest, she…”

Xia Yunqiu was not yet finished speaking when Shen Yuan raised his hand to stop her.

“Pavilion Master, take a closer look.”

In the hall on the first floor, the protests and threats grew fiercer, while outside the Enlightenment Pavilion, a large number of armored soldiers had sealed off the street where the pavilion was located.

An official clad in a crimson robe, holding a large seal in his hand, strode forward. It was Zhou Heng, the Imperial Capital Marketplace Inspector who had delayed in taking any action.@@novelbin@@

Zhou Heng’s eyes swept over the chaos in the hall of the Enlightenment Pavilion, his brow furrowed ever so slightly before he harshly rebuked,

“Audacious rebels, how dare you fight in the streets the Imperial Capital Marketplace and disregard the laws of the Imperial Capital!”

As he spoke, the Spirit Energy of the great formation within the Imperial Capital Marketplace converged, an invisible pressure descended within the Enlightenment Pavilion, and the ice and snow seemed to show signs of melting at this moment.

Seeing this, a manager of the Enlightenment Pavilion quickly stepped forward and spoke to Zhou Heng,

“Reporting to Inspector Zhou, this incident originally started with the disciples of the Beast-Control Sect and other nobles fighting within the Enlightenment Pavilion, nearly demolishing the entire building.

It was thanks to this Great Cultivator that the incident was quelled, or else the Enlightenment Pavilion would have been destroyed.”

Zhou Heng’s eyes turned cold, “This matter does not require your concern, I will handle it myself.”

After saying this, Zhou Heng waved his hand and loudly declared,

“Take down this Divinity Transformation Realm madman, and have their elders come to the dungeon to redeem them.

I want everyone to know that the Imperial Capital Marketplace is not a place where you can behave recklessly.”

Such a bold statement won the praise of many onlookers who were unaware of the truth.

Meanwhile, seventy-two armored soldiers, each wielding a long spear, activated the armor formation patterns, turning them into nodes of the Imperial Capital Marketplace Formation. The Lingguang flickered and in an instant, a small formation was created that sealed off all the Spirit Energy in the vicinity.

With the support of the Imperial Capital Marketplace’s grand formation, each soldier could exert the strength of the Qi Refinement Realm. Together, they could easily suppress an average Spirit Transmutation powerful expert, whereas Gong Buyu’s abilities were greatly weakened by the seclusion of Spirit Energy.

As one waned and the other waxed, taking down Gong Buyu seemed to be an easy task.

This is the foundation of Great Xia’s Imperial Court, as well as the cornerstone of the Imperial Capital.

It’s just a pity that such methods rely on the great formation within the Imperial Capital and the essence of humanity fate; stripped of the Imperial Capital’s might, hardly one percent would remain.

“Kill!”

A chorus of harsh cries rang out, and the seventy-two armored soldiers lunged forward, the earth shattered, and the War Art Destructive Qi materialized a scene of slaughter.

The War Art Destructive Qi collided with the Year-End Freezing Weather, and a swath of ice crystals collapsed at that moment. Even the Yin God form behind Gong Buyu had to evade the threat of the military formation and return to her body.

The range of the ice and snow was steadily suppressed, the seventy-two armored soldiers harnessed the War Art Destructive Qi with ease, effectively trapping Gong Buyu.

“Sir, this Great Cultivator truly is not…”

The manager of the Enlightenment Pavilion was about to continue arguing but was met with Zhou Heng’s fierce reprimand, “If there are any more objections, you too will be thrown into the dungeon!”

Seeing this, the manager’s expression turned an iron blue.

Inside the hall, several prodigies showed looks of joy.

But they did not see the scene amidst the War Art Destructive Qi.

Surrounded by the War Art Destructive Qi, Gong Buyu showed no signs of panic; on the contrary, she seemed interested as she observed the War Art Destructive Qi, a rare hint of curiosity flickering in her indifferent eyes.

Although this murderous Qi was not highly ranked, it seemed that it could be integrated into the Taiyin Path to form the Taiyin Destructive Qi, possessing considerable offensive power.

“Let’s put the matter of the Taiyin Destructive Qi aside for the moment; it is more important to first complete the task my master entrusted to me.”

With this thought, Gong Buyu finally took action.

She slowly extended her fair, jade-like right hand, her forefinger gently pointing downward, as her cold voice echoed throughout the entire Enlightenment Pavilion,

“Taiyin!”

The next moment, a cold moonlight fell from the ice and snow, and the Year End Freezing Weather seemed to undergo a profound transformation under the moonlight’s illumination.

The cold that had been steadily retreating before the War Art Destructive Qi suddenly surged like a ferocious tidal wave, easily shattering all the War Art Destructive Qi and freezing the seventy-two armored soldiers into ice sculptures.

Zhou Heng immediately felt the commotion inside the Enlightenment Pavilion and his pupils constricted as he shouted loudly,

“How dare you!”

The large seal he was holding rose into the sky, instantly turning into a small mountain, carrying the momentum of the Imperial Capital Marketplace Formation and bearing down from above.
