Chapter 76 : Soldiers Approaching the City Walls (2)
“Gu Tie Shou is in trouble! Even if Lie Zhan Hou couldn’t activate ten parts of this formation, he would still be enough to slay him.”
Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads in pity.
The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was struck with horror seeing Gue Tie Shou trapped in the formation. The four elders lost their color; the situation was very disadvantageous for the sect.
However, everyone underestimated the strength of Gu Tie Shou. This battle lasted for three days and three nights. Even though he was trapped, he used the power of the Kun Peng’s Six Variants and maneuvered freely. Even though he couldn’t kill a way out of the Yang Shou Mountains and Rivers Diagram, if Lie Zhan Hou wanted to kill Gu Tie Shou inside the formation; this was also not an easy task.
At this moment, Gu Tie Shou and Lie Zhan Hou were persevering inside the formation, and they both were not able to suppress the other.
“Gu Tie Shou was indeed secretive! I thought he was just a Named Hero before; however, it was unthinkable that he is an experienced Royal Noble!”
The entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect’s hearts were hanging high in a cage up above. At the moment, only Gu Tie Shou in the sect had the power to personally uphold one direction. The other four elders were only Named Heroes, and they were unable to help. Even if the four were to fight together, they would still be unable to compete against Lie Zhan Hou.
All of the disciples knew a calamity had befallen on the sect including Li Qi Ye, who was punished inside the Ghost Pavilion. While the pressure of a Royal Noble flooded the entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, Li Qi Ye simply only glanced into the far distance once.
Outside of the sect, the grand battle had been going on for five days and five nights, and the stalemate continued with Gu Tie Shou being unable to escape and Lie Zhan Hou unable to kill him. Gu Tie Shou could not surrender, and Lie Zhan Hou definitely could not withdraw his troops, so both of them could only continue this act.
On the seemingly tranquil fifth night, the Ghost Pavilion became even more ghastly. Li Qi Ye was meditating with his eyes closed in the main hall; it was as if the battle outside of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had nothing to do with him.
The quiet Ghost Pavilion did appear to be haunted during this silent night. An unknown amount of time had passed, and then suddenly, a gust of wind blew Li Qi Ye’s eyes open; in front of him stood a person.
Li Qi Ye examined the person standing in front of him, and he smilingly asked:
“Elder Cao, the night is already so late; why did you come here?”
At this moment, standing in front of Li Qi Ye was Elder Cao, who was recovering from his wounds inside the sect!
Cao Xiong stared at Li Qi Ye with a chilling gaze, but his countenance was cheerful; he happily said:
“My good talented nephew, I was asked by the other elders to come teach you the Daylight Sky Merit Law.”
“Daylight Sky Merit Law?”
Hearing this, Li Qi Ye couldn’t help but smile, and he said:
“Elder Cao, I heard that the Daylight Sky Merit Law was a minor Heaven’s Will Secret Law of our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Even though it is only a minor law, its importance is even higher than Virtuous Paragon merit laws. All of the elders must agree before passing down this technique.”
“My coming here to give you the Daylight Sky Merit Law was unanimously decided by the elders.”
Cao Xiong busily continued:
“Currently, a calamity has struck our sect, and First Brother is trapped inside a formation. The elders need a miracle, and we need a Heaven’s Will Secret Law to come to the rescue. Hopefully, good nephew could dream and see the Patriarch, so he could grant you the Heaven’s Will Secret Law.”
Hearing Cao Xiong’s words, Li Qi Ye hesitated for a moment, and then he replied:
“Elder Cao, I’m afraid this won’t work. Even with the dream instruction, it would still need several months, ah!”
Cao Xiong hurriedly said:
“Try it once for now to see if you can see the Patriarch or not in your dream. If not, we’ll think of something else.”
Li Qi Ye also hastily said:
“Ok, I will try for a little bit. Did Elder Cao bring along the Daylight Sky Merit Law?”
Cao Xiong took out a manual, and he said:
“This matter was too urgent; the original Daylight Sky copy wasn’t brought along. I brought you a hand written copy of it.”
Li Qi Ye accepted the manual, and he was going to open it; however, he then hesitated again, put down the manual, looked at Cao Xiong, and he said:
“Elder Cao, even though I am only a third generation disciple, regarding this grave matter, I still know that a Heaven’s Will Secret Law has the utmost importance in the foundation of our sect. I want to meet the other elders once. It is not that I suspect Elder Cao, but because this matter is so important, I need to see them to really know that it was a unanimous agreement.”
“My good nephew, this is our existential crisis in front of our eyes! The other elders are outside to hold back the powerful enemies, and they can’t come back at this moment; they could only entrust it to me.”
Cao Xiong hastily said with a worried expression. Afterwards, he rolled his eyes, then he said:
“If good nephew really wants to meet the other elders, so be it. I will just lead you to them.”
“This could not be better.”
Having heard this, Li Qi Ye nodded his head, but he then shook his head, saying:
“Elder Cao, I’m afraid this will not do since I am still serving my punishment at the moment. I have to stay at the Ghost Pavilion for another half a year; I cannot leave.”
“It is a life or death moment for us, and the elders had decided to abolish your punishment, good nephew. We don’t have much time, hurry and follow me.”
Cao Xiong impatiently said.
Li Qi Ye hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head again, saying:
“Elder, this still will not do. Protector Mo is responsible for watching me. If I want to leave this place, we have to inform him first. How about this, Elder Cao quickly go bring Protector Mo here, and we will leave together.”
“Stop your long windedness!”
At this moment, Cao Xiong lost his patience, and he said:
“I let you go, so you go with me!”
Li Qi Ye said while staring at Cao Xiong:
