Chapter 752 - Polar Aurora Array
With a flash of white light, a twenty meter long White Jade Flying Boat soared into the sky, leaving behind a long afterimage, this White Jade Flying Boat was obviously the flying treasure that Li Mu and the rest were riding on, it had already been seven to eight hours since they left Xueling Sect, if they were to calculate by the speed of Li Mu and the others, they would only be half the distance away from their destination.Because the Cold Star Kingdom"s terrain was relatively high and the temperature in the general area was relatively low, the area covered in ice and snow was not small all year round. With the White Jade Flying Boat"s quick movement, Li Mu and the rest soon arrived above a gigantic canyon.
This was a snow-canyon that was several miles wide and bottomless. Because the surface was covered by ice and snow all year round, it was unknown whether it was naturally formed from its appearance or was caused by external forces.A few kilometers of gorge could originally be ignored in terms of the White Jade Flying Boat"s flying speed. In just a few breaths of time, they would be able to fly past it. But just as the White Jade Flying Boat flew to the center of the gorge, something unexpected happened suddenly for Li Mu and the rest.
He was impartial and just in time to attract the White Jade Flying Boat that Li Mu and the rest were riding on. In mid air, he froze the gigantic White Jade Flying Boat and then was pulled down towards the depths of the Snow White Valley.
"This is bad!" Something"s going on "Seeing the White Jade Flying Boat being sucked in, Ruan Qinghong immediately walked out of the cabin. After three days of recuperation, her injuries in the Xueling Sect had already healed completely, and she was originally controlling the White Jade Flying Boat inside the cabin. But now that she realised something was wrong, she immediately walked out.
"There"s an ambush below!" "Hurry up and leave!"Li Mu"s reaction was much faster than Ruan Qinghong"s. Almost the moment the White Jade Flying Boat was attracted by the aura, he released his powerful senses, and under Li Mu"s scanning, he discovered that there were more than seventy to eighty people hiding in the canyon below. Most of these people were existence of the sacred art realm, but there were also quite a few Tongxuan realm experts.
Upon seeing this, Li Mu naturally knew that they were ambushed. He pushed his feet off the ground, causing a golden ripple to appear beneath his feet, and actually urged the river crossing step to leave the White Jade Flying Boat that was rapidly falling. Eastern Sage, Ruan Qinghong and the rest also realized that the situation was not good, and quickly rode the light to abandon the White Jade Flying Boat, attempting to escape.
"Hahaha!" Want to flee? It was simply a pipe dream! Xuan Ji Magneton Array! "
Following Li Mu and the rest"s escape, a complacent laugh came out from the depths of the canyon. Li Mu and the others who were riding the light suddenly realised that the True Essence in their bodies was multiple times slower, as if they were trapped by some unknown energy.After the circulation of the zhen yuan strength in their bodies slowed down, the figures of Li Mu and the others who were riding on the light also slowed down.
"d.a.m.n it! "What"s going on!?"
Looking at himself, Xu Ruqing and the rest"s figures that were falling rapidly, Li Mu cursed loudly and fl.u.s.tered. He tried to circulate the Zhen Yuan cultivation method with all his might, but the speed of his True Essence was still extremely slow. It was clear that the formless energy that was trapping them was something even Li Mu could not break through.
"Whoosh!" "Whiz!"
These dozen or so Spiritual Lights were naturally Li Mu and the rest"s, and after landing on the ground, they focused on looking around them, discovering that they were currently standing on a circular formation platform that was a hundred meters wide. On all sides of the formation platform, seventy to eighty figures were currently staring at them with full concentration.The circular array stage was completely black, and there were many runes and diagrams carved on the surface of the stage. One after another, black rays of light flickered on the surface of the stage, and what sealed Li Mu and the rest"s true essence was the circular array stage.
"Who are you people? Why did you ambush us? "Looking at the seventy to eighty people who were surrounding him from all sides, Eastern Sage asked loudly. He tried his best to urge his cultivation method, but the True Essence in his body was still circulating extremely slowly. It was not only him, Li Mu and the others who were also standing on the circular array stage were also circulating at a speed that was multiple times slower than normal.
As for true essence, this was an existence that no cultivator could ignore, even if it was a body cultivator, they would not be able to leave without true essence. Although Eastern Sage and the others did not completely lose control of their true essence, as their true essence circulation speed slowed down, the impact on their combat strength was extremely large.
"A sneak attack on you? Ha hha, not bad. It was indeed a sneak attack, but it should be called an a.s.sa.s.sination! "
Facing the Eastern Sage"s questioning, the one who spoke up was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe with a pair of silver earrings, he released an extremely dense demonic Qi, his cultivation had reached later stage of Tongxuan, and was obviously a demonic cultivator. Beside him stood five other later stage of Tongxuan experts like him, especially the most eye-catching one, a cold faced white clothed lady."Li Yuan! Shangguan Yao! Duan Qianshan! "It"s all of you!"
Upon seeing the few people wearing silver earrings, Ruan Qinghong"s face immediately changed. She even read out the names of three of the people on the other side, which meant that they already knew of each other"s origins.
"Shangguan Yao? Heartless Palace! "The moment Li Mu heard the two words "Shangguan Yao", he immediately remembered who the cold faced white lady was. Back then, in order to obtain the right to enter the Grand Mysterious Realm, the ten great sects had held a compet.i.tion for the stage, and the Heartless Palace was led by Shangguan Yao right now. Because the opponent"s cultivation was already at the later stage of Tongxuan, and it had been so many years, Li Mu was unable to recognize her at the start.
"Ruan Qinghong, it"s been so many years since I last saw you and you still being the same. I heard that this time, that old fellow Chi Yun died in Xueling Peak and just so happened to have stopped your train of thought. If you are interested, I can let you go today! "Black Robe, who was called Li Yuan by Ruan Qinghong, stared at Ruan Qinghong and said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Humph!" Li Yuan, who do you think you are! You dare to compare yourself to my Senior Brother Chi Yun? You want me to be your dual cultivation furnace, you are simply dreaming! I didn"t think that your six great sects would be so united this time. Even the Heartless Palace, who is usually proud and independent, would actually be willing to cooperate with you people and do such a sneak attack. It"s simply disgraceful! "
Ruan Qinghong glanced at Li Yuan fiercely, then looked coldly at Shangguan Yao. Amongst the 60 to 70 people that surrounded Li Mu, there were more than 10 female Heartless Palace disciples dressed in white, it was obvious that Heartless Palace had come prepared.
"There"s no point in talking any further nonsense. I, Shangguan Yao, do things for the results! This Li Mu brat is definitely going to be my Heartless Palace, as for you guys, just consider yourselves unlucky today, your deaths will be the first battle between your Gold Jade Sect and my six major sects! "
Shangguan Yao"s phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light, after she finished speaking, she waved her hand at the sixty to seventy people around her. These disciples of the six great sects all received the order, and revealed their own spirit treasures as they leapt onto the stage where Li Mu and the rest were standing. What made Li Mu and the rest curious was that although the thirteen of them were standing on the stage, the circulation of their True Essence was obviously slower by several fold, but the people of the six great sects did not have any effect on them.
"Elder Ruan, what do we do? "Our true essence circulation has become extremely slow, we can"t display much combat strength at all!"
He tried to control the light to leave the arena, but what made him helpless was, even if he tried his best, he could only move three feet off the ground. The moment he pa.s.sed this distance, he would be forcefully pulled back by the formation stage below him.
"This is the Xuan Ji Magnet Light Array! "Since we are able to use the Xuan Magnet Power to affect the circulation of the True Essence in our bodies, we have to rush out of this array to recover our combat strength. Everyone, be careful!"
Ruan Qinghong explained to Li Mu and the others, after that, she activated the extremely weak zhen yuan strength s, and took out a white jade ring. After taking out the white jade ring, Ruan Qinghong struggled to activate it, and the white jade ring instantly grew in size, transforming into a dozen metre long ring that protected Li Mu and the rest."Let"s rush out!"
After taking out the white jade ring to protect Li Mu and the rest, Ruan Qinghong said to everyone. Then, she quickly rushed to the side, as Li Mu and the rest were all inside the protection of the jade ring, they could only follow and the rest.
"Kill!"
As Ruan Qinghong and the rest broke through the encirclement, a dozen of spirit treasures flew towards them. These spirit treasures" attack power was not weak, after landing on the white jade hoops that Ruan Qinghong used, they shook the white jade hoops, causing fine cracks appearing on its surface.
"This won"t do, although our cultivation is not weak, the zhen yuan strength have already been suppressed by this dog s.h.i.t magnetic light array, to be able to display 20 to 30% of their fighting strength is already considered to be not bad! How can it be possible to deal with so many people who are not suppressed by the formation?! "
Li Niantian anxiously said. The injuries he had suffered in Xueling Sect had not completely recovered, and the True Essence in his body had been suppressed. The situation was extremely disadvantageous to him.
"Then we can"t just sit there and wait for death!"
Wu w.a.n.g took out one hundred or two hundred different kinds of Dao talismans, and very generously distributed them to Li Niantian and the rest. Under the situation where his spirit energy was being suppressed, activating the sacred art and controlling the spirit treasure was not a wise decision, because whether it was activating the sacred art or controlling the spirit treasure required a large amount of spirit essence, but activating the Dao talisman was different.
