"Bang, bang, bang~"

Before the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors and others had made their way in, warriors around the four city walls had begun their assaults. The city wall was crowded with warriors on top, who would not treat their enemies swarming from all directions with courtesy. After the two parties launched several bouts of long-ranged attacks, they drew their weapons and the close combat started thusly.

Warriors who were qualified to join the army of the Drifting Cloud Hall must be at least of the Soul Pond Realm. Those at the Spiritual Sea Realm didn't even have the chance to be considered. Fate Wheel Realm warriors could merely be team leaders. It was the same with the other three forces as well. The city walls seemed to be towering but for Soul Pond Realm warriors, they could walk as easily as if they were on flat earth. They hopped up, kicked on the walls to leverage some strength and they would make their landing with no difficulty.

Once they landed on the city walls, close combat was inevitable. Warriors of both parties had been harboring hatred toward each other. For years, the three forces and the Drifting Cloud Hall had been brewing resentment. They were incompatible as fire and water. Neither side showed mercy. They both resorted to their strongest means.

By the time the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors led 10,000 warriors to the plaza, the city walls were drenched with blood. At least 10,000 must have been deceased.

"Charge—"

The two Human Sovereign Realm warriors flew down from mid air after arriving at the plaza. Each led a team and took two different directions. On the other side, the warriors on the ground didn't move, which was depressingly odd.

"Patriarch He!"

Right at that moment, Lu Ling suddenly shouted. She had poured Xuan Energy into her voice which made it particularly sonorous. Upon hearing her order, Patriarch He yelled, "Attack at the ground!"

"The…ground?"

Many warriors were confused. How come they were not supposed to aim at their enemies flying down and rather the ground?

Given that Patriarch He was the master of the Hall of Combats, he enjoyed quite an authority at the Drifting Cloud Hall. Many people heeded his order and began to blast at the ground of the plaza.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

The earth cracked, stirring up dust. At the same time, from under the plaza, some glaring light came out together with a surge of powerful qi and energy. Following that, a blue shield came out of nowhere. It covered up the entire plaza. A strong power was felt by everyone. In an instant, many were rendered still, including the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors.

"How…"

"Eh…"

"Good heavens!"

Shocked. Warriors of the three forces that were coming from all sides and the Drifting Cloud Hall warriors on the city walls were all stunned still. The city fell strangely silent at this moment.

"Demon Trapping Formation!"

Lu Li's jaw dropped. He could not help saying the three words.

He had once seen this formation and was trapped in one. In the small battlefield of the Demon-slaying Grounds, Lu Ni once laid down such a formation and Lu Li nearly lost his life there.

But Lu Ni's was vastly different from this one. This Demon Trapping Formation had enveloped the entire plaza and had suppressed even Human Sovereign Realm warriors. Lu Li didn't know how many precious formation stones were used to build this formation. Not everyone could build such an impressive formation.

"No wonder…"

Lu Li looked at Lu Ling. He understood how she could remain so composed and not bat an eyelash even though the enemies were bearing down in force. She had been preparing for this.

But still…

Lu Li had another doubt he could not find the answer to. The two Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the three forces had such strong psychic powers and they had brought an army of 10,000 with them. How could they not have found the formation hidden under the plaza? Not even one of them was skilled in formation-related knowledge?

Also, the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors flew into the plaza with their armies. The plaza were surrounded and crowded with Drifting Cloud Hall warriors. Instead of attacking them, the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors flew in first and then split up.

Lu Li felt like—

This was a bunch of boars rushing into traps like idiots. What a coincidence! Was the Drifting Cloud Hall lucky or were the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors from the three forces stupid?

"Ha, ha, ha!"

While Lu Li was still confused, he heard a loud laugh coming from the distance. From the west, two surges of power came through. The sonorous voice caught everyone's attention.

"Human Sovereign Realm warriors? Two?"

Lu Li glanced over and his shock grew again. There were another two Human Sovereign Realm warriors? The way they were laughing indicated that they didn't belong to the three forces.

"Master, Great Patriarch!"

Drifting Cloud Hall warriors were yelling in joy which was also visible on their faces. Lu Li was even more confused. How could the Master of Drifting Cloud Hall be here? How did the Great Patriarch who should be at the Flint Cloud City come?

Did they know how to travel in space? Or else what could make them come back to the city in such a short time?

Lu Li once again looked at Lu Ling. She was as calm and confident as ever. Suddenly, he found the answer to his own questions.

Obviously!

Everything was within Lu Ling's plan. It was her idea that the Master should leave. But instead of going to the other two cities, the Master was teleported to a nearby spot.

Or another Teleportation Formation was built somewhere close. After the Master of Drifting Cloud Hall was teleported to another city, he was teleported back at once.

Without Teleportation Formations, the Master of Drifting Cloud Hall wouldn't be able to make it back in less than an hour.

"Incredible!"

Lu Li exclaimed. He felt delighted to see that Lu Ling had become more resourceful. No wonder those old men trusted her so much.

The Demon Trapping Formation had trapped two Human Sovereign Realm warriors and more than 10,000 others. Master of the Drifting Cloud Hall and the Great Patriarch had come back. Result of the war was predetermined. After losing two Human Sovereign Realm warriors, the three forces would be destructed by the Drifting Cloud Hall one by one.

One thing still bewildered Lu Li. The two Human Sovereign Realm warriors were a bit too thick-headed. They had rushed into the formation themselves like moths to flames.

"Charge!"

Uplifted, warriors standing on the city walls began to strike back. Morale rating of warriors of the three forces decreased. That being said, they couldn't sit around while their patriarchs and commanders were trapped in the Demon Trapping Formation. Warriors of the three forces tried desperately to forge into the city to destroy the Demon Trapping Formation.

However!

Could they make their way to the Demon Trapping Formation which was surrounded by two million warriors? It was not possible.

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Master of the Drifting Cloud Hall and the Great Patriarch flew over with many other warriors like two shooting stars. Ignoring all the warriors outside of the city, they flew toward the plaza. Lu Li finally had a chance to have a good look at the two Human Sovereign Realm warriors of the Drifting Cloud Hall.

The Master had a bulky build, as if he was a human-shaped beast. He wore his curly hair down. Judging by his appearance, people would say he was only 40 or 50 years old. His hair was still black. He had a raging energy and his looks were ferocious as well.

The other one was a kind old man with white beard and hair. He was holding a truncheon in his hands. His white beard fell to his knees and his smile was warm and friendly.

"Brother You!"

Master of Drifting Cloud Hall's hand glared as a huge black axe appeared in his hand. That axe was covered in a bloody color. Something about it made people chill. Needless to say, it was a Holy Grade Xuan Artifact.

He glared at an enemy Human Sovereign Realm warrior and yelled, "Use that Holy Light Profound Meaning. Let us end that bastard. After this war, the Drifting Cloud Hall will be able to unify the southern Clouds Plains to fight against the Palace of Sun!"
