Chapter 129 Breaking into the Palace at Night
That afternoon, Liu Jing specifically asked Han Li if he was willing to go with the group.
Han Li thought about the Black Evil Sect's leader who was most likely a Golden Core cultivator, so he naturally decided not to go.
Liu Jing went to find Wu Xuan again to ask him if he had changed his mind. However, it was dark and he still couldn't find Wu Xuan, so he had to give up.
After coming back, Sun Zecheng knew that Wu Xuan, who acted alone, had fallen into the hands of the Black Evil Cult.
However, Sun Zecheng did not say anything. Since Wu Xuan had no feelings for his fellow disciples and left on his own, Sun Zecheng would not care about his life or death.
At midnight that night, the official action began.
Third senior brother Liu Jing took the lead, followed closely by Zhong Weiniang, and Huangfeng Valley's ninth foundation building soared into the sky.
A moment later, they arrived above the palace.
"For this operation, we will split into two groups. One group, Chen Qiaoqian and Zhong Weiniang, two female cultivators, will go straight to the bedroom of the current Yue Emperor to rescue him and prevent the other party from using the Yue Emperor to threaten us."
"The other way is for all the remaining people to go to the cold palace where the leader of the Black Evil Cult is staying, and gather their manpower to kill the four blood servants first. After Chen Qiaoqian and Zhong Weiniang rescued the King of Yue, they gathered together and finally dealt with the leader of the Black Evil Cult who is still in seclusion."
Liu Jing explained his staffing arrangements, and the others nodded in agreement.
That afternoon, Liu Jing went out to look for Wu Xuan, so even the staffing arrangements were decided on temporarily after arriving at the palace.
This decision was ill-considered. Sun Zecheng didn't want his two senior sisters to end up like Wu Xuan.
"This is not good!" Sun Zecheng expressed his objection.
Seeing Liu Jing and the others looking over, Sun Zecheng explained, "The Black Evil Cult has controlled the palace for so long, and it's hard to say whether the current Yue Emperor is a human or a ghost. If the two sisters are separated from us and encounter the Blood Servant on the road, they will suffer a great loss. If anything happens to the two sisters, we will regret it!"
"Senior sister's safety is the most important. As for the evil cultivator's threat to the Emperor of Yue's life or death, I, Sun Zecheng, will simply treat him as dead!"
"Yes! Junior Sister's safety is the most important!"
"Yes! Senior Sister is more important! The damn emperor doesn't care about life or death!"
"Junior Brother Sun is right. I was inconsiderate. Let's not separate."
As soon as Sun Zecheng finished speaking, everyone echoed his instructions. Liu Jing was naturally worried that something might happen to Zhong Weiniang, so he readily admitted that he had not considered it carefully.
“When you see other cultivators later, don’t hold back. Since there are cultivators who can walk around freely in this palace, they must be from the Black Evil Sect!”
Liu Jing turned around and gave everyone some instructions, then immediately drove straight to the cold palace.
Nine people dropped from the sky and were immediately discovered by the Black Evil Sect disciples guarding outside the cold palace.
After a few sharp screams, all kinds of spells and magic weapons came towards the nine people from a hidden place near the cold palace.
"How dare a grain of light compete with the bright moon!"
Liu Jing raised his hand and took out a silk scarf, which turned into a huge barrier that blocked everyone in front of him and protected all nine people.
It was just a group of Qi Refining spells and magic weapons that hit the Silkworm Scarf barrier. The Silkworm Scarf emitted a dazzling white light and not only was it not damaged at all, but it also bounced some of the spells back directly, beating these Qi Refining Black Evil followers into a panic.
Song Meng also took out his blue silk sword, and the giant blue sword floated in the air.
Song Meng made a hand gesture, and the giant sword turned into a blue disc just like Sun Zecheng's silver giant sword. Song Meng stretched out two fingers and pointed at the "blue silk sword" that had turned into a huge disc.
Suddenly, the blue light on the disc burst out with countless thin blue threads, covering the area of dozens of feet below it.
Under the piercing of countless blue silk threads, this group of Qi Refining Stage Black Evil Sect disciples let out a series of screams. Some were shot into a hornet's nest and died tragically, while others, although they protected their vital parts, were pierced through their limbs and other parts, and lost their combat effectiveness on the spot.
"What a great move 'Ten Thousand Silks All Over the World'! Junior Brother Song, I have heard of this move for a long time, and it really has a different effect." Senior Brother Xu praised.
"It's just dealing with a few people in the Qi Refining Stage. You don't have the skills that Junior Brother Sun has." Song Meng had seen how Sun Zecheng fought, so how could he dare to be proud.
Sun Zecheng stacked two standard stones and an ice shield on his body, and then summoned the six-drive brass shield magic weapon to fly around him. He watched Liu Jing and Song Meng kill the enemy leisurely, but he did not take action himself.
In Sun Zecheng's opinion, this small fry in the Qi Refining Stage was just right for training several senior brothers and sisters who lacked fighting experience. Neither Liu Jing nor Song Meng should take action.
Senior Brother Xu glanced at Sun Zecheng and saw that he looked leisurely, yet he had already stacked three layers of shields. He wondered what kind of ability this Junior Brother Sun had. He was so timid, yet everyone praised him to the sky!
"Activate the Four Symbols Formation and trap them inside."
An extremely cold voice came from the cold palace, and then a white figure emitting a hazy white cold air appeared at the gate in the blink of an eye. It was the "Ice Demon" who happened to be on duty again.
"The Ice Demon of the Four Blood Servants!" Liu Jing took one look and immediately shared the information he gained from interrogating the young prince with his fellow disciples.
Liu Jing spoke as he took action. Two silver lights flew out of his hands and cut off the ice monster's head.
The original plan was to kill the four blood servants first, so naturally everyone would not be polite and they all took out their magic weapons and smashed them at the ice monster.
But at this moment, the scenery in front of everyone suddenly blurred, and then the world spun around, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in a snowy place.
There was a vast expanse of white all around, with snowflakes flying all over the sky, and the ice demon was nowhere to be seen.
"Among you fellow brothers and sisters, does anyone understand the formation? We'd better break out of it quickly, otherwise if the four blood servants gather together, it will be dangerous." Liu Jing said.
After Liu Jing asked, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.
"I know a little about formations, and I've heard of the Four Symbols Formation. But I haven't studied the specific method of breaking the formation." Senior Sister Xuehong said hesitantly.
"Then what you said is the same as saying nothing." Sun Zecheng said with a smile.
"Why not just break the formation with brute force?" Song Meng suggested, and then he controlled the blue giant sword to attack the four walls.
"That's fine, Junior Sister Xuehong, we can study while we beat you." Liu Jing thought it would be better to do both at the same time.
Seeing this, the others also took out their magical weapons and smashed them around.
The Four Symbols Formation was slightly fluctuating, but it would take a long time to break it.
"It is simple to break the formation with brute force, but it is not only time-consuming, but will also consume a large amount of everyone's mana, which is extremely disadvantageous for the battle after the formation is broken! Xuehong, how is your research going?" Liu Jing said as he fought.
"This formation is rather obscure, I haven't studied it before..."
Sun Zecheng thought to himself: If you understand, then you understand. If you don’t understand, just say you don’t understand. It’s so tactful!
But then he thought again, after successfully making the Sixty-Six Drive Silver Giant Sword Spear, he had never had the opportunity to test how powerful it was at full strength.
Why not try this Four Symbols Formation?
