Chapter 439

Chapter 439: Since you won’t listen to advice, then let everyone die!

“How did Xue Yue die?” the middle-aged man asked the woman.

“Ancestor, I don’t know which young brat it was, but he killed Xue Yue with a talisman.”

“Ancestor, you must avenge Xue Yue! I heard he was beaten into a mist of blood, it’s too tragic…”

The woman began to rant and cry. This made the middle-aged man feel somewhat irritated.

Among his descendants, many had spirit roots, but the only one with the potential to inherit his legacy was Xue Yue.

Therefore, he was very fond of this descendant.

The Leisure Alliance stipulated that all cultivators above the Divine Transformation stage must go to the battlefield, so he had arranged a safe logistical role for his descendant.

This way, Xue Yue wouldn’t have to fight against the beast tribe on the battlefield.

However, he hadn’t expected to receive such bad news today—that his dearest descendant had been killed.

So, he hurried over.

He was accompanied by several close friends who, upon hearing that his heir was in trouble, came to see what was going on.

The middle-aged man didn’t say much and was soon led to a formation by the woman.

“Ancestor, the murderer who killed Xue Yue is hiding inside this formation. This is an Imperial Formation; we can’t break it, so we hope you can destroy it to avenge Xue Yue,” the Beautiful Woman pleaded with the ancestor.

Upon hearing the Beautiful Woman’s words, the middle-aged man remained silent, gazing intently at the formation, scanning it with his divine sense.

After observing for a while, he realized that this was a formation he had never seen before.

“Who are you? Which Immortal Gate do you belong to?” the middle-aged man inquired towards the formation.

From outside the formation, he could not see what was happening inside.

However, he understood that the Nascent Soul cultivator who killed his heir was certainly watching him.

A Nascent Soul cultivator possessed an imperial-level formation.

This made him realize that the identity of the person before him must be significant.

Thus, he decided to inquire about the person’s identity; if they had a prestigious background, he needed to be prepared for potential retaliation from their elders after he killed them.

At the very least, he needed to know who his enemy was.

However, no one answered him from within the formation.

At this moment, He Ling Mountain was also aware of the people outside.

He had already activated a defense talisman.

This kind of defense talisman could withstand a strike from a peak great emperor in the Tribulation stage, so he had to activate it early.

He Ling Mountain quietly watched the group of people outside.

He didn’t know if the middle-aged man who had just spoken to him was Xue Yue’s ancestor, so he didn’t act immediately, considering that there were several others with him. He was unsure if they were just onlookers or not.

Although he didn’t care about dealing with the Xue family, he also wouldn’t involve innocents.

Furthermore, he wasn’t certain that the person in front of him was indeed the Xue family’s ancestor in the Tribulation stage, since he had never witnessed the might of a great emperor realm.

After all, a young bull that has just been born doesn’t fear tigers; it doesn’t know what a tiger is, so how could it possibly be afraid?

So He Ling Mountain thought, if the other party can break his formation, then it should be the ancestor of the Xue family at the great emperor realm; if they can’t even break the formation, then they likely are not.

Outside the formation, the middle-aged man saw that no one responded after a long while, and his expression turned sour.

“Since that’s the case, I will first break your formation and then perform Soul Searching.”

Having failed to gather information verbally, he could still perform Soul Searching.

With his strength and the opponent’s Nascent Soul stage power, even if the other’s sea of souls was restricted by his elders, he was confident that he could find useful information, such as which Immortal Gate they belonged to, and so forth.

“Step back, everyone; I’m going to break the formation,” the middle-aged man commanded everyone.

Hearing his words, everyone quickly retreated, even the few others who were also at the great emperor realm alongside him stepped back a distance.

Boom!

The next moment, the middle-aged man launched his attack on He Ling Mountain’s formation.

However, under the middle-aged man’s attack, the formation trembled violently but did not shatter.

Seeing this outcome, the middle-aged man’s expression grew grim.

“I want to see how long your formation can hold.”

Next, the middle-aged man continued to attack the formation.

But no matter how he attacked, the formation ultimately remained unscathed.

What they didn’t know was that within the formation, He Ling Mountain was heartbrokenly throwing pieces of superior grade spirit stones into the array disks.

Thus, after a while of attacking, the middle-aged man still could not break the formation.

In front of everyone’s eyes, the middle-aged man felt that his reputation was somewhat tarnished.

“Old Luo, Old Hou, Old Ye, can Fairy Ling help me break the formation?”

The middle-aged man looked at the few friends who accompanied him, all at the Tribulation stage.

“Old Xue, I heard you have a Seventh Stage Celestial Soul Grass?”

“I can give you the Seventh Stage Celestial Soul Grass,” the middle-aged man said without hesitation.

Then he turned his gaze to the other three: “What do you all want?”

Upon hearing Old Xue’s words, the two male cultivators at the Tribulation stage immediately put forth their conditions.

Only the female cultivator, referred to as Fairy Ling by the middle-aged man, smiled and said, “I don’t want anything; I believe you all together should be able to break this formation.”

Having said that, Fairy Ling stepped back and chose to watch.

She was the Supreme Elder of the Clear Moon Immortal Palace, and the principle of the Clear Moon Immortal Palace had always been to avoid enmity with others.

Though Old Xue’s offer was tempting, who knew who that Nascent Soul cultivator’s backing was?

She wouldn’t make a powerful enemy for a small benefit.

After Fairy Ling stepped back, the remaining four Tribulation stage great emperors spread out in four directions and simultaneously launched fierce attacks on the formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the four Tribulation stage great emperors attacked, He Ling Mountain’s formation shook violently, looking as though it was about to shatter.

Inside the formation, seeing the energy being consumed heavily, He Ling Mountain figured that the people in front of him were indeed all Tribulation stage great emperors.

After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly said, “None of you three are from the Xue family; are you sure you want to help the Xue family members against me?”

He still wished to give the three Tribulation stage great emperors who were not from the Xue family a chance.

Because in the ongoing war between the Human Race and the beast tribe, the death of any one great emperor from the Human Race would be a huge loss.

According to the Sect Master, if his half-immortal level talismans were deployed, even a peak great emperor in the Tribulation stage could be easily eliminated.

Thus, he hoped that the non-Xue family Tribulation stage great emperors would withdraw, just like the female cultivator at the great emperor realm.

However, upon hearing the Nascent Soul cultivator’s words, the people outside the formation all laughed.

“Haha, it seems you’ve run out of tricks; if we try again, we should be able to break the formation,” one Tribulation stage great emperor laughed heartily.

He didn’t take the Nascent Soul cultivator’s threat seriously.

“Everyone continue attacking; help me break the formation, I won’t skimp on the rewards for everyone,” the ancestor of the Xue family quickly urged.

“Then let’s continue…”

Soon after, the four Tribulation stage great emperors launched another powerful attack on He Ling Mountain’s formation.

Inside the formation, seeing that several Tribulation stage great emperors were not heeding his warning, He Ling Mountain decided not to waste more words.

He directly took out four half-immortal level talismans and targeted the four Tribulation stage great emperors, activating the talismans without hesitation.

“Since you won’t listen to advice, then let everyone die.”
