At this moment, countless people had gathered outside the mountain gates of the Lingyun Sect.
The Huoyun Sect had made the matter of the sect war known to everyone in the Canglan Region precisely for this effect.
Now, cultivators from various forces of the Canglan Region were gathered here.
No matter what happened today, it would be spread throughout the entire Canglan Region at the fastest speed.
Yuan Hongkong, who was standing in front of the Huoyun Sect team, could not help but be delighted as he looked at the mass of people below.
This was because the more people were here, the more important the Huoyun Sect was.
As long as these people personally witnessed the scene of them killing the enemy, the importance of the Huoyun Sect would rise to another level!
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to make a move. Yuan Hongkong wanted to wait for more to arrive.
However, the people below were starting to feel impatient and began to discuss among themselves.
“Since the Huoyun Sect has made such a big move this time, the Lingyun Sect is doomed.”
“That’s right, especially so now that the supreme elder of the Huoyun Sect is personally here. But why aren’t they making a move yet?”
“Humph, they must be waiting for people.”
“Waiting for people? Who?”
“Waiting for more people to come so that his story will be spread far and wide.”
Hearing this, everyone came to a sudden realization.
“It seems that the Huoyun Sect is determined to win?”
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, “The Lingyun Sect was originally a force under the protection of the Huoyun Sect! To think they colluded with an external force and killed an elder of the Huoyun Sect. Traitors like this deserve to be eliminated. Today, they deserve to die!”
This person’s voice was very loud, and for a moment, many people looked over.
Even Gu Lingfei and the others who were in the Lingyun Sect could hear his words clearly.
Huang Chaoyu couldn’t help but curse, “Shameless bastard! He’s obviously talking nonsense. When have we colluded with an external force?”
Shangguan Qingyun quickly consoled, “Senior sister, calm down for now. His words aren’t directed at us, but at the cultivators watching the show. I think that person was most likely arranged by the Huoyun Sect. They’re probably trying to gain the higher ground in terms of morality so that they seem righteous to make things difficult for us. If they succeed, even if they wipe out the entire Lingyun Sect, no one will pity us.”
After hearing his words, the three of them felt that his words were reasonable.
With this, they genuinely hated the Huoyun Sect to the bone!
…
After some time, Yuan Hongkong felt that it was about time to move and coughed lightly.
Wu Poshan immediately understood and took a step forward as he said in a clear voice, “All disciples, listen up. The Lingyun Sect has committed an unforgivable crime by killing the disciples and an elder of our sect. As the sect leader of the Huoyun Sect, I order all of you to exterminate the Lingyun Sect. Leave no one alive!”
“Yes!”
The dozens of disciples immediately accepted the order and charged towards the Lingyun Sect.
The leader of the group was none other than Yan Minghui from back then!
However, at this moment, his expression was no longer as calm as it was when they first met. Instead, it was filled with malevolence.
Seeing the group of people pouncing at them like locusts, Gu Lingfei and the others immediately felt their hearts tighten.
They had never witnessed the power of the array, so they were still worried.
Just as Wu Poshan watched this scene proudly, an unexpected happening occurred.
A group of disciples had just rushed to the edges of the Lingyun Sect when they were suddenly sent flying at the same time.
As if they had suffered huge damage, their auras instantly withered.
“Sect protection array?” When the onlookers saw this scene, they immediately blurted.
No one expected a fifth rank force to have a sect protection array.
With this, Wu Poshan was even more convinced that the Divine Phoenix Empire was the faction behind the Lingyun Sect.
He snorted lightly and gave a new order, “Nascent Soul elders, listen up. I order all of you to attack together and destroy this array.”
“Yes!” The five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators immediately accepted the order.
Without saying anything else, they directly released their monstrous aura and abruptly blasted it at the array.
This aura instantly suppressed the surrounding crowd, while Gu Lingfei and the others had their hearts in their throats.
When five Nascent Soul Realm experts attacked at the same time, their power was so strong it felt as if they were going to destroy the world!
Boom!
The monstrous aura descended onto the array like a rainbow.
The ground shook, which caused many to stumble and fall.
Dust flew in the air as if it was going to drown the entire Lingyun Sect.
A moment later, when the dust finally settled, everyone was even more stunned.
This was because they could see that the Lingyun Sect’s sect protection array had merely trembled for a second and was still as stable as Mount Tai.
Unlike Gu Lingfei and the others who were pleasantly surprised and relaxed, the few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who had launched the attack immediately flew into a rage.
If the combined strength of the five of them couldn’t even break a single array, their dignity would be all lost!
The five of them looked at each other and did not hold back anymore. Their boundless spiritual energy was like a raging wave that was endlessly clashing onto the array.
However, even though their faces were flushed red and they were feeling that their spiritual energy was somewhat exhausted, the array only trembled slightly and was not damaged in the slightest.
Wu Poshan’s expression instantly darkened. The strength of these five elders was the peak of the Huoyun Sect.
Yet the five of them working together couldn’t even break the array. Didn’t that mean that this array was comparable to the sect protection array of the Huoyun Sect?
Thinking of this, Wu Poshan turned his gaze to Yuan Hongkong. It seemed that only the supreme elder could break this array.
Yuan Hongkong snorted lightly and said in a clear voice, “All of you, stand down.”
The few Nascent Soul Realm elders immediately retreated as if they had been pardoned.
Everyone knew that Yuan Hongkong was going to do it himself.
Seeing that someone at the Incarnation Realm was going to personally make a move, everyone’s eyes widened as they watched on nervously.
Gu Lingfei and the others were so nervous that they didn’t even dare to breathe.
The gap between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Incarnation Realm could be said to be akin to the difference between Heaven and Earth.
They didn’t have the slightest confidence to stop someone at the Incarnation Realm.
Yuan Hongkong held his breath and concentrated, and suddenly struck out a palm.
The palm attack was simple as if it didn’t contain any spiritual energy.
Only Yuan Hongkong knew that this palm attack was his strongest move because this was the palm technique he had learned when he broke through to the Incarnation Realm.
The palm attack didn’t mobilize his spiritual energy, but instead the energy of Heaven and Earth.
It seemed ordinary, but it contained the power of nature.
Boom!
As the palm landed, the array suddenly began to shake.
Everyone was shocked.
At this time, many people finally understood that the gap in cultivation realms could oftentimes not be made up with numbers.
Five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had exhausted their spiritual energy but were still unable to shake the formation in the slightest.
On the other hand, as soon as an Incarnation Realm cultivator made a move, the array seemed to be about to break.
Gu Lingfei and the others’ faces sank completely.
If the array was broken, they would be reduced to lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no way to escape.
Everyone looked at them with gazes filled with ridicule and pity.
Wu Poshan was overjoyed. Once the array was broken, he would slaughter these people personally, which would shock everyone present and restore his prestige!
Everyone’s gazes were focused on Yuan Hongkong.
As long as he struck out another palm, the array might be broken.
With that, everything would be settled.
Under everyone’s gaze, Yuan Hongkong slowly raised his hand.
Just as this palm was about to descend, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from within the Lingyun Sect.
The aura shot up into the sky, traversing thousands of miles, and was incomparably majestic.
In an instant, everyone was taken aback.
