Whoosh!
Soil flew up. The flying disc slashed directly into the array barrier, cutting deep into the earth and destroying one array altar.
At this moment, the array barrier enveloping Tianji Holy Land dimmed. Compared to before, it seemed several points weaker.
“What? What is that thing? It can actually break the array?”
Everyone in Tianji Holy Land was greatly shocked and horrified.
This defensive array could not be broken by force even by family heads or supreme elders of major forces. It was the foundation of Tianji Holy Land’s existence.
Yet that flying disc had easily breached it?
“Quick! Everyone retreat to Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower. Enter the underground defence!”
The grey-robed martial saint immediately shouted.
Besides this great defence, Tianji Holy Land had another underground defence beside Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower. The space inside was not large, but it could fully accommodate everyone in Tianji Holy Land.
Above it was sturdy material that could withstand martial saint-level power even without an array.
Hearing this, the crowd panicked and quickly flew towards the central area of Tianji Holy Land.
“Elder Yu Yuan, they dare come. They must have powerful methods. We cannot fight head-on. Retreat for now.”
The other martial saint elder said to the grey-robed martial saint named Yu Yuan.
“Retreat!”
Yu Yuan came to his senses, shouted lightly, and immediately withdrew, sweeping elders and disciples towards the central area of Tianji Holy Land.
Lin Xiao frowned. These two martial saints were decisive. Moments ago they had been furious and unyielding, but now even they fled directly.
He had not expected another defence underground in Tianji Holy Land.
With even the two martial saints fleeing, if they could not break in, they could not heavily damage Tianji Holy Land.
They could only destroy the surface buildings.
However, this was fine. His main goal this time was not to destroy Tianji Holy Land, but to attack Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower and rescue his mother.
With no one blocking them, they could focus fully on breaking the tower.
At this time, Qing Yan sped up, urging the Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc to fly towards another array altar on the side, slashing into the earth again and destroying it.
Tianji Holy Land’s defensive barrier weakened further.
The Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc quickly cut into the third array altar.
Tianji Holy Land’s defensive barrier remained only twenty to thirty percent.
Soon, the Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc arced again, cutting into the final array altar, completely destroying it. The array barrier enveloping Tianji Holy Land vanished entirely.
At this moment, no elders or disciples of Tianji Holy Land remained above ground. All had hidden inside.
“Break the tower!”
Long Tutian shouted. His aura erupted as he charged into Tianji Holy Land.
Lin Xiao and the other two also moved, rushing into Tianji Holy Land.
Soon, they reached the central area of Tianji Holy Land. In the centre was a cluster of palace buildings. Lin Xiao saw no signs of array altars.
“It is beneath this palace!”
Long Tutian shouted lightly and struck a palm. Vast palm force directly reduced a palace to rubble. Huge fluctuations erupted, surging outward in waves.
Not only the central buildings were destroyed, but the shockwave levelled all structures, rockeries, and forests across Tianji Holy Land’s hundred li.
This was martial saint power. A casual strike could flatten hundreds of li, let alone Tianji Holy Land’s mere hundred li.
After the buildings were destroyed, beneath Lin Xiao and the four appeared a thousand-zhang square array altar. A defensive barrier rose above it.
More precisely, four array altars surrounded a thousand-zhang area. In the centre was black iron-like material engraved with mysterious ancient patterns. One glance gave an eerie, sinister feeling.
In the middle of the special material was a three-zhang rectangular black block, seemingly a door.
“This is Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower?”
Lin Xiao was startled, his eyes examining the black iron-like stone ground below.
“That is the entrance to Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower. It can be broken by force. First, destroy the array.”
Long Tutian said.
Qing Yan urged the Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc again, spinning towards the surrounding thousand-zhang array altars. It easily cut through the barrier and struck an altar.
Boom! A loud crash. The Swallowing Heaven Demon Disc embedded into the altar.
However, it did not destroy the entire altar.
Qing Yan frowned, recalling the disc to his hand. He spun and threw it with greater force at the same altar.
Boom! The altar was damaged further, but not fully destroyed.
Qing Yan continued attacking. It took five or six strikes to completely ruin one altar.
These altars were harder to destroy than the outer ones.
After a while, all four altars were destroyed. Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower’s defensive barrier vanished entirely.
Boom!
Long Tutian struck first. A punch unleashed golden dragon fist light containing his terrifying power, bombarding the tower door.
Rumble!
A massive boom shook the earth. An air wave erupted, surging in all directions.
However, the wave was not too great, affecting only a dozen li.
The main force seemed absorbed by the tower door, with little power spilling out.
Crack! Crack! The three-zhang square tower door swung open on both sides, revealing a three-zhang passage. A sinister, foul aura emanated from it.
The stench made one want to vomit.
“It can be broken by force. Truly strange!”
Enduring the foul smell, Lin Xiao stared at the Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower entrance.
Inside the passage was pitch black. Nothing could be seen.
“Audacious! Daring to attack Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower!”
Just then, a rolling voice came from not far beside the tower underground.
A ground entrance opened. A figure surged skyward with overwhelming aura. Terrifying pressure instantly filled heaven and earth, enveloping all directions.
“Fourthfold martial saint!”
Sensing this aura, Lin Xiao frowned.
Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower actually had a fourthfold martial saint guarding it?
Lin Xiao’s eyes examined the figure rising to the sky. It was a white-haired elder with many wrinkles, bulging eyes, dishevelled hair, extremely aged.
He looked as if one foot was already in the grave, far older than martial saint elders of major forces.
From Lin Xiao’s estimation, this elder was probably nearing three hundred years old.
