Chapter 972: Flatten the Spear Dragon Sect?
“They must have learned of the changes at Haoran Mountain and came to our doorstep!” Zhan Lan clenched his fists, his eyes icy cold.
He knew that if Haoran Mountain’s formation was still intact, even nine, or another nine, could not have threatened them in the slightest.
Coming now, they must have known that Haoran Mountain’s defensive formation was gone, unable to protect them.
Not only Zhan Lan, but others also realised this.
“If we don’t hand over Lin Xiao?” Yun Jing scanned the group, speaking gravely.
“If you don’t hand over Lin Xiao…” Mo Gu paused, then said coldly, “we’ll flatten the Spear Dragon Sect!”
Everyone’s hearts trembled.
The three major sects wanted to join forces to destroy their Spear Dragon Sect?
Yun Jing’s heart shook, the enemy’s intentions finally clear.
“Flatten our sect!” Yun Jing roared in anger, “Are you not afraid of our sect master’s retaliation? Are you not afraid of other sects uniting against you? Are you not afraid that the Emperor’s raid will eventually wipe you out too?”
“Elder Yun Jing, since we dared to come, we naturally fear none of that,” the Evil Sect Master said, “Haoran Mountain has undergone changes. We can uproot your Spear Dragon Sect. Be sensible and hand over Lin Xiao.”
“Also, don’t use your so-called Supreme Elder to threaten us. Even if that person exists, the nine of us can still flatten your Spear Dragon Sect.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao’s eyes narrowed, filled with anger and guilt.
He knew they came because of the changes at Haoran Mountain, which had shaken the sect’s defensive foundation.
Without this change, the Spear Dragon Sect would not face any threat.
And this change was because of him.
Moreover, he was unsure if the main reason these people gathered at the Spear Dragon Sect was truly because of him.
As a rebellious genius with many secrets, it was possible the three sects sensed a threat and coveted his secrets, thus joining forces to attack the Spear Dragon Sect.
Or perhaps, it was purely to eliminate the Spear Dragon Sect, and they would have attacked even without him.
After all, this was a special time. The Spear Dragon Sect’s master was absent, the major families’ Martial Emperors were gone, making it the perfect moment to strike.
As for the blood oath that Martial Emperors would not act, it was clearly ineffective.
Lin Xiao also knew the sect had a Supreme Elder.
But the Supreme Elder was elderly, and making a move might lead to their own demise.
Even in perfect condition, they likely could not withstand the combined might of so many Martial Emperors.
“If I go out, will you retreat?”
At this moment, Lin Xiao could not help but speak, questioning the group of Martial Emperors.
Before they could reply, Zhong Moyang retorted, “Hmph, don’t believe their words. Today, they aim to destroy our Spear Dragon Sect!”
Having lived so long, with the enemy speaking so directly, how could he not see their intentions?
With so many Martial Emperors deployed, no matter who started it, they would not stop easily.
Zhong Moyang stared at Mo Gu, furious, “Our Spear Dragon Sect’s Haoran Mountain may have issues, but our defences are not limited to it!”
With that, Zhong Moyang glanced at Yun Jing. They nodded to each other. Yun Jing crushed something in his hand, and three beams of light shot from it, heading toward three peaks within the Spear Dragon Sect.
“Swoosh!”
In an instant, dazzling golden light rose from the three peaks, enveloping the entire Spear Dragon Sect. A hundred-mile radius was tightly covered by a golden barrier.
The mountain gate peak was the outermost edge of the barrier, enclosing the group within the formation.
“Let’s see how you break our Spear Dragon Sect’s defence!” Zhong Moyang shouted coldly at the group.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was stunned.
As one of the top sects, the Spear Dragon Sect had not only Haoran Mountain’s defensive formation but also a massive outer defensive array.
At the same time, he felt deeply moved. Neither Zhong Moyang nor Yun Jing had any intention of handing him over from start to finish.
The moment he spoke, they firmly refused and activated the defensive array.
Seeing the formation light up, even the nine Martial Emperors showed surprise.
This formation was somewhat unexpected.
However, having come, they would not leave empty-handed.
“Not an ancient formation like Haoran Mountain, this is just an ordinary Martial Emperor-level defensive array. With the strength of our nine, we can surely break it. Attack!”
Mo Gu’s eyes gleamed coldly as he spoke to the group.
Then, overwhelming black energy surged, and a terrifying fist aura shot from Mo Gu’s hand, striking the golden barrier.
The sky darkened instantly, the terrifying force shaking heaven and earth.
The other Martial Emperors acted too, their fist and palm strikes like raging seas, covering the golden barrier.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! …”
Thunderous roars erupted, the view beyond the barrier nearly obscured. Torrents of energy flowed across the barrier, unmatched fluctuations shaking all directions.
The hundred-mile area around the Spear Dragon Sect seemed to experience a massive earthquake, the entire region trembling violently.
Several peaks even collapsed with a roar.
The peak where Lin Xiao and others stood shook intensely. Through the barrier, they could almost feel the destructive energy.
The attack of nine Martial Emperors was too terrifying, as if it could destroy heaven and earth.
Without the formation, a single strike could have turned the entire hundred-mile area into ruins.
“Retreat to the central area!” Yun Jing frowned. The attack of nine Half-Step Martial Emperors exceeded his expectations.
The formation was shaking, several peaks inside collapsing. The formation might not withstand the nine’s assault.
So close to the formation’s edge, if it broke, a single strike could annihilate the Spear Dragon Sect’s elders and disciples.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao and the sect members retreated to the central area, Haoran Mountain.
Now, Haoran Mountain was little different from an ordinary peak, and everyone could stand atop it.
“What’s happening?”
At this moment, even elders and disciples in seclusion were startled, rushing out from their caves.
Seeing the entire area enveloped by the formation, the sky drowned in rolling energy waves, they were stunned.
Among them was Liu Chuyou, who had been in seclusion since the Grand Event.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! …”
Before Liu Chuyou and others could grasp the situation, another wave of attacks began. Deafening roars sounded, shaking the earth, the power overwhelming. This attack was even stronger, with storm-like energy surging across the barrier, as if the sky itself would collapse.
Within the Spear Dragon Sect, another dozen peaks collapsed under the tremors.
