Chapter 2616 - Formation Sect, Exterminated (1/2)

“Reporting to Young Lord, the scouts that returned from the Five Elements Sect, it has been destroyed, all the Formation Masters have been killed, no survivors.” A man clad in black stood behind Zi Xi and said quietly.

“Five Elements Sect?” Jiang Chen slightly frowned.

“One of the top 20 sects in the Qilian Region that specialize in formation got destroyed, massacred.”  Zi Xi sighed.

This was surely a deliberate plan, the moment they attempted to destroy the teleportation formation, they’d already thought of all the possibilities. The Five Elements Sect that specializes in formation getting massacred was a clear sign that the things that are happening here are not simple. A storm was bound to hit Ling Jue City.

“What? The Five Elements Sect was exterminated? To think such a terrifying thing had happened?!”

“The Five Elements Sect, the rank 13th sect of the Qilian Region, a powerful sect, their formations might even be compared against the top 10 sects.”

“This is obviously planned, the destruction of the Five Elements Sect meant that this Formation Demon had planned all of these.”

“Looks like our trip to the Thunder Rush Sea is not going to go through.”

The people were getting anxious, and Zi Xi could do nothing to stop it. The most important thing now was to fend off the Formation Demon, otherwise, the situation may get worse.

“Fellow guest, please return. The teleportation formation is destroyed and our city lord’s mansion is deeply saddened by it. However, there’s nothing we could do now that the situation has come to this. I shall return and discuss this matter with my father.” Zi Xi said.

Although the people were unwilling to accept it, they still chose to leave nonetheless. There’s nothing they could do even if they stayed.

“Friend, my father left me a message. I hope that you could follow me back to the City Lord Mansion.” Zi Xi looked at Jiang Chen and said quietly.

“The City Lord’s Mansion?” Jiang Chen smiled. He wanted to lay-low but now it looks like it would be impossible.

Looks like the City Lord is not a good position. I’m guessing that the city is not in a stable state too.

“Alright.”

Jiang Chen said his goodbyes to his group and followed Zi Xi to the mansion.

The City Lord’s Mansion wasn’t grand nor big. It was situated below a tiny mountain.

The words ‘simple and crude’ were just the right words to describe the mansion.

The mansion was surrounded by over a hundred guards, almost all of them were Half-Step Divine Kings, a dozen of them were even Divine Kings, it was a mighty force to be reckoned with.

They all bowed after seeing Zi Xi.

Jiang Chen and Zi Xi entered the mansion and a buff middle-aged man stood in the middle of the hall. Although Jiang Chen wasn’t sure, he guessed that the one he met was the city lord. However, his aura felt familiar.

“I, Jiang Chen, greet the City Lord.” Jiang Chen said.

“You broke the Formation Demon Bai Qi’s Fabrication Formation, stopping his evil deeds, you’ve made quite a contribution towards my Ling Jue City.” The middle-aged man said vigorously.

Jiang Chen couldn’t get his head behind this. This man was the true master of the Qilian Region, the master of Ling Jue City, the Venerable Lord of the Nine Regions. He should’ve gone beyond the Divine King Realm. Jiang Chen was wary of this point, those who were able to reach the Hierarch Realm were no simple fools.
