Spiritual energy in the formation flowed, however just now, there was a moment where it dried up. Although it was just a blink of an eye before it turned back to normal, it was unable to hide from his senses.

 Logically speaking it wasn’t rare for someone to make a mistake. That person was a Yelan Temple Direct Disciple. Due to him being a double cultivator with slightly weaker spiritual cultivation, he hadn’t come across this formation. So for him to mess up was acceptable.

 However, why did he sense that there was another aura hidden within the formation?

 He looked over doubtfully at the side at the Taoist who was in charge of the formation.

 This person was at the Initial Spirit Realm and was called Wumiao. Within the Daoling Vast Habitat, he was from the same generation as Wu Xu.

 At this moment, he didn’t notice the weird state of the formation. He smiled coldly as he looked at Zong Shou, his gaze was like he was looking at a dead person.

 “People good at fighting will die from war, people good at swimming drown in water. The words of the past are true! This Zong Shou is so intelligent and strategic but he was too arrogant, to think that he was really unrivalled in the world to head straight into this trap. Heh! Does he really think our Taoist Faction can’t do anything about him?”

 Linghai looked over, only to see a wind surge all about and sword energy blasted all around.

 Zong Shou was still standing proudly in the air. His body flashing, calmly moving left and right. Each time he struck out, the sword would be extremely exquisite, impressing everyone.

 However, Linghai could see that this person was being slowly forced into despair.

 Being surrounded and attacked by ten Spirit Realm experts, even without the formation it would be tough for him to break free.

 As expected he would fall here. It was just a matter of sooner or later.

 “However this kid is really amazing. Just with his achievements in these few years, his name would enter the history books. To be able to force our Taoist Sect to such a state, he is the first person after those few overlords. Oh right! Before coming, Vast Habitat Head said that Zong Shou wouldn’t be willing to come over and give up his life and that he had something planned. This was why he dared to attack. If we can’t kill him instantly then we have to be careful. Linghai please pay close attention…”

 Wumiao spoke whereas Linghai got more and more distracted as he listened on.

 He stopped caring about the change in the formation and focused above.

 He only waited for Zong Shou to fall from above.

 However, when those few words entered his ears he was shocked.

 He won’t be willing to come over and give up his life?

 That’s right, he also didn’t felt that Zong Shou wasn’t such an arrogant person.

 To be able to sweep mighty lords and unify Donglin, how could he be dumb? How would he easily choose to head into a trap?

 Didn’t Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect fall because it underestimated Donglin?

 Then what was this person planning?

 His thoughts flowed as he once again looked at the Eight Trigram Gold Lock Formation above.

 Yelan Temple?

 He remembered that Huangming Sect Bear Yelan Temple was massacred last night.

 That time was when Yelan Temple moved over to Yugang Mountain.

 If Zong Shou noticed their tracks and did something with it…

 Linghai felt a chill down his spine, his hairs standing on their ends.

 That’s right, the Illusionary Heart Mirror! The Sky Fox Race’s Emperor Race bloodline! If he didn’t use it, it usually didn’t mean that he couldn’t use it.

 However, wasn’t it just an illusion? No, he had to have another plan!

 Even if he broke the formation, what could he do? That Zong Shou would still die here in the end…

 “Senior Brother Wu Xu really fears this kid deeply. We have already used up all the strength of our Daoling Vast Habitat. We can’t let any accidents happen!”

 That Wumiao spoke on. However he saw Linghai’s expression suddenly change, flying into the air towards the formation.

 He didn’t understand and was startled. However in the next moment his expression was also extremely ugly.

 Only to see a white light descend down from the sky.

 It came so suddenly with an unstoppable force, instantly smashing a hole through that barrier that locked up space!

 This was tribulation lightning?

 Why would tribulation lightning appear here? There was no one on the Yugang Mountain Peak that was going through tribulation.

 It wasn’t Zong Shou and the people of the Vast Habitat and the six sects all knew how serious the situation was!

 However why did this tribulation lightning come?

 The speed which the white light descended was far faster than Linghai. In an instant, it was already above the Eight Trigram Gold Lock Formation.

 Maybe due to it being blocked before by the space restriction power, the white lightning started to swell up as it struck.

 One flash easily broke into the formation, its white light spreading all over. Everywhere it passed, the spirit masters within were scorched, their blood and flesh separating and their souls getting destroyed.

 Even Wumiao who was the one in charge of the formation couldn’t avoid it. A white glow shone towards him.

 Luckily he was already prepared, a purple spiritual sword was held in front of him.

 In that instance, the sword light dissipated and it recoiled away. His entire right arm was destroyed by the remnants of the white light.

 The Eight Trigram Golden Lock Diagram in his hand was also instantly destroyed!

 He spat out blood, looking above with fear in his eyes.

 Linghai’s furious roar spread into his ear, only to see the white tribulation lightning surging about unstoppably, smashing the bodies of the Spirit Masters like collecting wheat; blood and flesh scattering.

 At this moment, a silver light also rushed up from the formation and gave out a peal of bell-like laughter.

 It swallowed the scattered flesh and blood as well as soul power. Following which its wings flapped lightly, avoiding the chasing white glow and Linghai. It flew above towards the three True Martial Seven Part Sword Formations.

 Its movement speed was extremely quick, such that he was still unable to have a clear look at its appearance.

 No good!

 He was shocked, anxiousness flashing in Wumiao’s eyes.

 True Martial Seven Part Sword Formation; when the seven worked together, they could go up against Celestial Realm experts. However, they were activating the God Spirit Incarnation and didn’t have any strength to protect themselves. They were pretty much defenceless.

 They could only rely on the incarnation of the Ten Thousand Wood Green Emperor.

 He wanted to move but he had suffered heavy injuries. Threads of lightning were sweeping within his body such that he couldn’t move at all.

 Looking into the distance, the two incarnations and Qiuhua along with tens of Spirit Realm cultivators were three hundred thousand feet away. Even if they wanted to save them, they couldn’t.

 His pupils constricted. Did Zong Shou do it on purpose to lead them away?

 Before he was able to think carefully about it, there was a buzz at the foot of the mountain.

 Looking down, there were hundreds of disciples in Yelan Temple dressing which attacked people by their sides with a lost expression on their faces.

 Where the weapons crossed, instantly hundreds of defenceless people either died or were heavily injured.

 There were six more silver lights which charged into the crowd of disciples. Everywhere they passed, blood glow will flash. Heads were sliced off in one knife stroke, no one could block at all.

 It was slower than the silver light above but it was still extremely quick. It could compare to Intermediate Spirit Realm cultivators.

 At this time Wumiao finally saw clearly what the silver lights were.

 They were six ants, four knife arms in front of them and covered in silver armor with six wings on their backs. Their body was covered in a white flame.

 He was shocked for a moment and finally thought of what the item was.

 He heard that Zong Shou carried several silver flying ants beside him. Their flying speed was extremely quick and they were natural variants.

 So the silver light above was the queen?

 He instinctively summoned his few protector beasts to protect in front of him.

 He had no heart to bother about the massacre at the foot of the mountain as he looked into the sky once more.

 Only to see that Linghai was ditched far back by the silver light. The white tribulation lightning could only follow behind, unable to strike it.

 The Ten Thousand Wood Green Emperor felt danger. It stopped bothering about Zong Shou in the distance as millions of vines shot out from the mountain peak to try to tangle the silver light.

 Green God Power was also shot out to block it from getting close. Tens of millions of green leaves were spread out in the sky.

 The silver light didn’t bother, spinning around the Ten Thousand Wood Green Emperor at high speeds.

 Its aura was extremely sharp, even the light filled with God Power couldn’t block it. As long as the green leaves got close, it was slashed into shreds.

 However, it still was stopped at a thousand feet out; unable to get close.

 However before Wumiao could feel happy, the tribulation lightning changed. Being stopped by the God Power of the Green Wood Emperor, it decided to split into two. One to chase the silver light and the other to strike the incarnation. The latter swelling up several times.

 The Ten Thousand Wood Green Emperor instinctively formed a giant green sword to slash it down.

 In the next instance, a bright white glow shone in the sky. Wumiao instinctively dodged but he could sense that the white glow that was split off instantly smashed the sword and also destroyed half of the incarnation of the Green Emperor. Only then did it dissipate.

 The six thousand five hundred feet large God Spirit Incarnation instantly recovered in a blink of an eye. However, the Seven True Martial Swordsmen’s faces were ashen white and blood seeped from their mouths.

 Wumiao’s heart sank, only feeling his chest turn cold. He could already sense that the aura of the Ten Thousand Wood Green Emperor was much weaker than before.

 This time it was still fine but what if tribulation lightning struck once more? How many hits can the incarnation take?

 The speed of the Silver Ant Queen was just too quick!

 He only hoped that the dozens of fellow sect cultivators could slay Zong Shou quickly or send a few back to deal with the ant queen.

 However, when Wumiao looked out from three hundred thousand feet at Zong Shou, his expression froze. He saw numerous broken Yin souls gathering over there.

 The blood light was extremely eye catching. On closer look, it was the blood sword in his hand which was crazily swallowing those souls.
