Chapter 266: Celestial MeiHua
If the sect protecting formation was completely intact, it would be able to defend three to four FenShen cultivators without any problems and would indeed be able to block SongZhong and the Gold Dragon Boat. But now, things were different. As an important part of the sect protecting formation, the s.h.i.+fting Towers and Thousand Dragons Trapping Divine Formation were destroyed! Furthermore, the Purple Lightning Gold Dragon Cannon destroyed some foundations and formations in the surrounding areas, weakening the sect protecting formation to a certain extent as well. If all of these losses were to be added up, it was equivalent to losing half its strength!
With the sect protecting formation at half of its strength, it was difficult for it to block the Gold Divine Lightnings which were falling down like a meteor shower. Despite Mister First and Mister Second personally taking action to compensate for the flaws in the formation, the situation continued to deteriorate. There were even some formations in the peripheral regions which broke down completely, causing the outer layer of residence to be completely destroyed.
As Mister First and Mister Second saw that, they quickly realized that the situation was grave. They originally wanted to use this incident to build up their prestige to successfully take over the position of sect master. But the way things are going, before they can even become the sect master, they would probably be blown into smithereens by SongZhong. Thus, they could not be bothered with anything else as they dived down to find Daoist HuoLong who was still in a daze, “Senior brother, now is not the time to be zoning out! SongZhong’s Gold Dragon Boat is too frightening. The sect protecting formation is not going to hold for long!”
“What?!” Daoist HuoLong snapped out of his daze as he exclaimed, “The sect protecting formation is so powerful. How can it possibly not hold on?”
“There was no problem originally. But the problem now lies with the destruction of the s.h.i.+fting Towers. That is an essential part of the sect protecting formation, and it was just destroyed by SongZhong! Now, the might of the sect protecting formation is only half of its peak. Furthermore, SongZhong is launching waves of attacks as though he had an endless amount of spiritual stones! If we do not think of a plan, we will be destroyed soon!”
“The problem has become so severe?” Daoist HuoLong was startled. He originally thought that the sect protecting formation can definitely trap SongZhong and that he would be safe in there. Thus, he fell into deep thought, thinking about ways to solve this problem. After he was alerted by Mister First and Mister Second, he snapped out of his daze and looked around in a hurry. In the end, he saw that the sect protecting formation was already trembling severely under SongZhong’s ferocious attacks.
Daoist HuoLong’s expression changed immediately. As compared to his reputation, his life was far more important. Thus, Daoist HuoLong shook his head to clear up his mind before shouting, “Send out all the disciples from the inner court to repair the formation!”
“We have already deployed all of them. Even those who were in seclusion as well. In fact, both of us brothers had already took action personally but to no avail!” Mister Second lamented.
As Daoist HuoLong heard that, he frowned and said, “Our only choice would be to request senior sister out of her mountain!”
“Celestial MeiHua?” As Mister First and Mister Second heard that, they were first elated. But shortly after, they frowned with a bitter laughter, “We have created such a huge commotion and she is only a few thousand kilometres away. How is it possible that she is unaware about this situation? Seeing how she has not taken any action, it is obvious that she does not wish to involve herself in this matter!”
“Ah!” Daoist HuoLong was first startled before exclaiming with realization, “Aiyah, dammit. A couple of decades ago, senior sister had once said that our Mystical Sky Yard will experience a tragedy and she does not want to involve herself with it, thus closing herself up for a hundred years. At that time, I did not think much about that. Given the prowess of our Mystical Sky Yard, I thought that we would not meet with any dangers. Never did I expect that the tragedy would be from SongZhong!”
“Aiyah, so she knew that SongZhong was going to rebel?” Mister First and Mister Second exclaimed, “So why did she not stop him?”
“This… I am not sure either. Senior sister’s actions have always been extremely mysterious and isn’t something which I can understand!” Daoist HuoLong replied helplessly.
“Then what should we do now?” Mister First and Mister Second said anxiously, “The s.h.i.+fting Towers have already been destroyed and we can no longer request for reinforcements! If Celestial MeiHua still does not take action, while the three of us will be able to escape, the thousands years of foundations in the Mystical Sky Yard will be completely destroyed!”
As Daoist HuoLong heard that, he felt extremely regretful. However, since things have already turned out this way, regretting was useless. Then, he said hatefully, “No matter what, the Mystical Sky Yard cannot be destroyed while in my care.”
If the Mystical Sky Yard is destroyed, Daoist HuoLong would be the number one sinner as the sect master. Even if he can escape successfully, the rules of the Mystical Sky Sect will not let him off easily. Thus, he has to protect the blood and sweat of all his predecessors and ancestors.
Mister First and Mister Second would not want to become sectless after entering the Mystical Sky Yard for a short moment. Thus, they hurriedly said, “If the Mystical Sky Yard is destroyed, the three of us would be finished! Quickly and find a way!”
“Way?” Daoist HuoLong frowned before asking with a chilly glare, “I am only afraid that you guys won’t have the guts.”
