Chapter 182 - Surrounding the Old Devil (1/2)
Chapter 182: Surrounding the Old Devil
In the innermost layer of the s.h.i.+fting Towers, it was a transportation portal specially used by the elites of the inner court. The portal wasn’t large and only had a diameter of a few hundred feet. But there was an area of a few thousand feet around it with countless of stone pillars surrounding it, obviously a formation set. The formation is always activated, surrounding the transportation portal with rays of light. At the same time, there were 3 JinDan cultivators who would meditate there to keep guard, not daring to neglect their duties. Under such circ.u.mstances, it was impossible for someone to invade from here.
It wasn’t illogical for this place to be so heavily guarded. The s.h.i.+fting Towers was in the hinterlands of the Mystical Sky Yard, and enemies were able to send over a large amount of troops if they were to overtake the tower. Thus, a place with such strategic importance was something every sect would definitely guard carefully. Not only did they set up layers of formations and restrictions, there would also be JinDan cultivators guarding the place all year round.
On a particular day, a green light flashed from the rarely used portal and following which, a green robe elder appeared in the portal. This person appeared out of a sudden and seemed confused. After he appeared, he first observed his surroundings with shock before quickly recognising the stone pillars on the outside. Then, he exclaimed, “Ah, Thousand Dragons Trapping Divine Formation! This is the Mystical Sky Yard?”
Just when he exclaimed, the 3 JinDan cultivators on duty also recognised him immediately. They all inhaled a deep cold breath and shouted in unison, “Old devil Feng from the Thousands Desire Sect?!”
After they identified old man Feng, they 3 of them were startled. Then, one of the leaders immediately shouted, “Enemy attack! Sound the alarm bell! Activate the Thousand Dragons Trapping Divine Formation!”
Following his command, everyone in the s.h.i.+fting Towers sprang into action instantaneously. All the guard duty personnel were elites of the elites. Despite how they were taken by surprise, they were not frantic but executed the right protocols in an orderly fas.h.i.+on.
The first to take action were the 3 JinDan cultivators. They all breathed out a breath of fresh air into the large formation, instantly activating the Thousand Dragons Trapping Divine Formation. As the formation was activated, countless divine dragons composed of spiritual Qi a.s.saulted old man Feng.
Despite feeling bitter in his heart, old man Feng was completely helpless and could only activate his Natal Artifact. The moment he unleashed the large black flag, a black cyclone immediately spewed out from the flag, forming a few large hurricanes, protecting old man Feng. The moment the spiritual Qi dragons fly into the hurricane, they would be shredded apart, without any chance of threatening old man Feng.
However, under the pressure from the Thousand Dragons Trapping Formation, old man Feng could barely defend himself. There was simply no chance to retaliate at all.
The other cultivators in the s.h.i.+fting Towers took action as well. They all emitted their spiritual Qi to bolster the formation, completely incarcerated old man Feng within it. Old man Feng was forced into defending, with no chance of escaping at all.
Simultaneously, the alarm bell rang, which resounded throughout the whole Mystical Sky Yard. Disciples from all over then began to rush out, finding their own masters in preparation for invasion. The sect master, First Lady, and Daoist HuoLong dared not delay and each brought a couple of JinDan disciples over at the fastest speed.
The trio felt elated on what they saw when they arrived at the scene.
Originally, they thought that they had been invaded by a large force and rushed here at their fastest speed possible. In the end, they realised that it was only old man Feng alone. Despite him being a well known YuanYing cultivator, he was still trapped within the Thousand Dragons Trapping Formation of the Mystical Sky Yard. Even if he had 3 heads and 6 arms, it would still be futile! It was akin to catching a turtle that is already in a jar. Furthermore, that was one large turtle!
Seeing how the situation was all under control, Daoist HuoLong and the sect master could not help but start laughing. Hearing their unbridled laughter, old man Feng felt like crying inside!
“Hahahaha!” Daoist HuoLong then laughed and scorned, “Aiyah, isn’t this my old brother Feng? What kind of wind are we having today? What kind of wind blew you here?”
Old man Feng’s face turned completely green and just could not refute.
The sect master also could not help but join in the fun and say, “Fellow Daoist Feng is here to find me for tea? You must really be in the mood?”
Old man Feng finally could no longer withstrain his indignation and barked, “Only a b.a.s.t.a.r.d would come drink tea with you! I was tricked by that darn fatty!”
“En?” As the 3 of them heard that, they felt strange.
The sect master then asked, “Darn fatty? You don’t mean my pudgy boy right?”
“Who else can be so cunning apart from that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d?” Old man Feng said in exasperation.
As the 3 of them heard that, they all looked towards each other with expressions of doubt.
The First Lady asked, “What did my child do to you? Why do you hate him so much?”
“He, he said that he would give me a Wind Essence Stone. But, he hid a Lesser Movement Talisman inside of it. I did not notice it and injected my spiritual Qi in it to test if it was real or fake. In the end, I fell for his trap and came here!” As old man Feng explained, he could no longer suppress the grievance in his heart and tears began to stream down.
Under such circ.u.mstances, he knew that death was the only outcome for him. If he were to have an all-out fight and die in the hands of the sect master or Daoist HuoLong, he still wouldn’t feel so much of a grievance. But the problem is, a YuanYing cultivator like him was tricked to death by a foundational cultivator like Little Fatty! How would he be able to accept that? It was understandable for him to be angered to tears!
