Chapter 421

"Don’t worry, I’m here." The corners of Adam’s mouth curled up.

Right at that moment, the five Heavenly Court operatives transformed into streaks of light, attempting to flee the area rapidly, they intended to return and report that a village had discovered a formation capable of threatening them.

But in the very next second, all five of them crashed headlong into an even larger formation barrier.

Again?

The five men’s hearts blazed with fury.

If this could be tolerated, what could not be? Did these people really think they had no countermeasures against formations?

"Formation-Breaking Banner!"

The five shouted in unison, and a banner radiating terrifying sharpness appeared in the center of their group, using a secret technique, they summoned an immensely powerful spiritual artifact.

However, just as they prepared to break the formation, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly began to fluctuate violently once again.

Their pupils shrank instantly, it was exactly the same as before, the precursor to a formation self-destructing.

"There’s no time to break it! Quick, defend!"

The Lightning General yelled urgently, the remaining four rapidly deployed their strongest defensive measures, covering everyone in layers of protection.

But this was destined to be futile, back when Adam was only in the lower heavens of the Deity Realm, he could already use formations to trap and kill Eighth Heaven experts, now, having broken through to the Seventh Heaven, his formations would only be stronger.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out, the entire heaven and earth seeming to tremble.

Lyra stared blankly at the self-destruction of a formation countless times stronger than the one she had set up, she knew this was the Senior’s work.

But Senior, if you set up such a powerful formation, why did you have me set one up too? Was that not totally unnecessary?

Naturally, Adam would not do something pointless, if his formation had triggered directly without Lyra’s acting as a precursor, the Heavenly Court would have grown suspicious, they might suspect someone had crossed over into this spatial dimension.

With Lyra’s formation triggering first, the operatives would only see her traces and attribute everything to her.

Of course, Adam would ensure Lyra’s safety, he could not let her bear the Heavenly Court’s attention for nothing.

Adam was not idle at this moment either, he had far more important matters to attend to.

Taking advantage of the explosion’s lingering might, he hurriedly sensed for spatial rifts and guided a portion of the energy to strike the world barrier.

But the result was extremely stable, the expected fluctuations did not appear, the Heavenly Court had reinforced this world’s spatial barrier as well.

Troublesome.

Adam sighed, he now fully realized how incredibly lucky his first crossover to the Spirit-Forsaken Land had been.

If he had been teleported to any Heavenly Court world back then, it would have been fatal.

The towering energy slowly dissipated, the original village was completely gone, replaced by a massive crater.

Within the crater lay four corpses and one dying Divine General.

Lyra’s eyes lit up, they had really done it, they had annihilated all the operatives sent by the Heavenly Court.

Soon, she saw one of the Generals twitch, her eyes narrowed, hripping her spiritual artifact, she prepared to step forward and finish him off.

"Don’t go up so rashly, use ranged techniques to finish him off." Adam warned.

In truth, he could have easily finished all five alone, but he did not dare expose his existence. Adam sighed inwardly, his strength was still not enough.

If he were a Great Emperor, why would he need to hide like this? He could just storm the Heavenly Court directly.

"Understood, Senior."

Knowing she had been careless, Lyra nodded apologetically, then began relentlessly bombarding the dying General with techniques.

Soon, that General finally stopped twitching, just like his companions beside him, he lay obediently on the ground, completely motionless.

"Alright, we should leave too, someone will be here very soon." Seeing all five had lost their breath of life, Adam swiftly flew over, swept away all the spirit stones on their bodies, and quickly took Lyra and left.

Such a massive commotion would draw the Heavenly Court’s attention quickly, Adam did not dare bet on whether a Divine Lord would show up, although the possibility was low, he was not willing to take the risk, if his aura was detected and they sent Yang Jian to track him down, that would be disastrous.

Not long after he left with Lyra, several figures radiating terrifying auras appeared directly above the village, each of their faces was incredibly gloomy, such a huge disturbance was not something only the Heavenly Court had noticed, the mortals had noticed it too.

But more importantly, their operatives were dead, killed by mortals, something that had not happened in countless years.

"Investigate." The leading figure held a walking cane and had a gourd hanging from his waist, every strand of his facial hair swayed with his aura.

"Yes!" The men beside him quickly sprang into action.

Shortly, they completed their investigation, it was not that they were slacking, nor that their abilities were exceptional, there was simply nothing left inside the giant crater.

"Reporting to the Divine Lord, the formation was inscribed by a village cultivator named Lyra, she appears to be a formation genius, as for the villagers, they had all scattered and fled long ago."

The leading man’s expression was terrifyingly dark. "Activate the marks and hunt them down, I want everyone from this village dead."

"Yes!" They bowed, then took a formation map from their robes and infused it with spiritual energy, instantly, specks of light appeared on the map, indicating the locations of all the fleeing villagers.

On the path of escape with Lyra, Adam discovered that a mark had been planted inside her body, even for him, it was very difficult to remove, he only noticed it after it had been activated.

Adam understood, this was why the Heavenly Court was not afraid of villagers escaping, with this mark present, evasion was impossible, he could only use a secret technique to temporarily mask it.

"Senior, don’t worry about me anymore, I can die without regrets." Lyra said to the empty air, she had never seen Adam’s face, and she knew this was an extremely cautious and prudent senior, she did not want to drag him down, her wish was already fulfilled, being able to take five of the Heavenly Court’s hunting dogs with her was already completely worth it.
