The Twelve Golden Immortals Enter the Formation

The next day.

Outside Sishui Pass, a murderous aura soared to the sky.

The two armies clashed once more, their banners fluttering like a forest, their swords and spears like a mountain.

However, unlike the previous times, today a colossal formation appeared before the two armies.

Within the grand formation, yellow sand swirled, mist rose, and the shadows of winding rivers could be seen, concealing endless killing intent that inspired fear in all who beheld it.

Before the Xiqi camp, the Chan Sect Immortals floated in mid-air, looking at the great formation that rose from the ground, each with a solemn expression.

They could sense that this grand formation was far from simple; the dangers it contained made even these Daluo Golden Immortal feel a chill run down their spines.

"Hmph, unorthodox methods, all they know is to use these low-class things." True Person Taiyi sneered, his face full of disdain.

That being said, he did not make any rash moves.

Just then, at the entrance of the great formation, a flash of light appeared, and the three fairies, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, floated out from the formation.

The three sisters stood side by side, their beauty unparalleled, yet they exuded a chilling aura of ruthlessness.

Their gazes fell directly on the Chan Sect Immortals.

"Fellow Daoists of the Clarify Sect, how have you been?"

Yunxiao's voice was cold and clear, yet it carried distinctly throughout the entire battlefield.

"My two sisters and I have set up a formation here, called the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."

"Fellow Daoists, are you willing to venture into the formation and take a trip?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Bixiao couldn't help but chime in, her clear voice carrying undisguised provocation.

"You can all work together to break the formation, so you won't say we sisters are bullying you because you're outnumbered!"

"If you are afraid of my Interception Sect's formation and dare not enter, that is fine too."

Bixiao glanced at the arrogant faces opposite her, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"We can also dismantle our formation and fight you fair and square."

"Whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group attack, our Interception Sect will fight to the bitter end today!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Chan Sect Immortals instantly turned extremely ugly.

Especially that line, "fearing my Interception Sect's formation," was like rubbing their faces into the ground repeatedly.

"Presumptuous!"

True Person Taiyi was the first to lose his temper, his Surrounding Body blazing with flames as he roared in anger.

"You dare to flaunt your mere unorthodox methods before us! You truly don't know your place!"

Chijingzi's face was also ashen.

"Hmph, sharp-tongued! I'd like to see just what your Interception Sect is really capable of!"

Guangchengzi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked coldly at the Sanxiao opposite him and spoke slowly, word by word.

"What is there to fear from a mere Clarify Sect?"

"You members of the Interception Sect are nothing but these unorthodox and heretical methods!"

Although he was somewhat wary of the Interception Sect formations, he could not show any weakness in his words.

The Interception Sect's formations are powerful, but at this moment, they represent the face of the Clarify Sect and the face of Yuanshi Tianzun.

If they don't even dare to break through the lines, then even if they win today, they'll just become a laughing stock.

They, as followers of the Clarify Sect, cannot afford to lose face.

Therefore, regardless of whether this formation is a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, they must break through it today!

Just as Guangchengzi was confronting the Sanxiao, in front of the Shang Army, the three siblings of Yang Jiao all tensed up at the same time.

Their gazes, however, were fixed intently on Guangchengzi.

Especially Yang Jian, the vertical mark between his eyebrows was throbbing violently, as if it would crack open at any moment and release a world-destroying divine light.

Jiang Ziya, standing beside them, naturally noticed the unusual behavior of the three.

He sighed softly, turned to the side, and whispered words of comfort.

"Generals, please don't be anxious."

"Today's battle will be a good opportunity for our three senior sisters to test the waters and see what methods the Clarify Sect has up its sleeve."

He turned his head to look at the large array shrouded in yellow sand, and continued speaking.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

"Wouldn't it be more reliable for the three generals to make a move after we've figured out their true strength?"

Yang Jiao took a deep breath and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Ziya.

"Grand Tutor, rest assured, we understand."

"I won't let a moment of impulsiveness ruin the overall situation."

On the battlefield, after a brief moment of anger, the Chan Sect Immortals quickly began to discuss their plan via telepathy.

"Senior brother, this formation is strange; we must be on guard!" True Person Yuding transmitted his voice. He was a calm and composed person and did not want to take risks.

True Person Taiyi, however, disagreed.

"What's there to be afraid of! There are twelve of us here together, and we also have Innate Spiritual Treasure bestowed by our master. How could a mere formation possibly trap us?"

"In my opinion, we should just storm in and send those Sanxiao to the Investiture of the Gods, then let's see how arrogant they can be then!"

"Taiyi Brother Taiyi, you mustn't be rash!" Chijingzi retorted.

"The Interception Sect's formations are unpredictable. If we all enter, what if we are separated and defeated one by one?"

Immediately, the crowd erupted in discussion, each with their own opinions.

In the end, everyone's attention was focused on Guangchengzi.

Guangchengzi already had a plan in mind.

"We must advance! We represent the honor of the Clarify Sect, and we absolutely cannot retreat before the two armies!"

"However, what Junior Brother Chijingzi said makes sense; we must be wary."

"In my opinion, we twelve brothers should enter the formation together and break it!"

"Vice Sect Master Randeng, Senior Brother Nanji, and Yun Zhongzi remained outside the formation to provide support."

"With the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in my hand, I am well protected, able to attack or defend as needed!"

"I will then hand over the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner to Senior Brother Nanji. If anything unexpected happens within the formation, he can use this treasure to provide support to us from the outside!"

This plan not only preserved the reputation of the Clarify Sect but also left room for contingencies, making it a foolproof strategy.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Having made his decision, Guangchengzi no longer hesitated.

He took out a small apricot-yellow flag and solemnly handed it to the Immortal Weng of the South Pole.

"Senior brother, you will temporarily take command of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner."

"After we enter the formation, I request that you, Senior Brother, Vice Sect Master Randeng, and Yun Zhongzi provide support from the outside, in case the Interception Sect has any other backup plans."

The Immortal Weng of the South Pole accepted the Apricot Yellow Banner and nodded.

"Junior brother, please proceed with confidence."

With everything arranged, Guangchengzi stepped forward, facing the Sanxiao, and shouted loudly.

"Since you've set up your formation, then we, your fellow disciples, will meet you today!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yunxiao smiled faintly on her cool face and gestured for Guangchengzi and the others to enter.

"Alright, fellow cultivators, please enter the formation."

Having said that, she said no more, turned around and led Qiongxiao and Bixiao, gracefully walking into the yellow sand and mist, their figures disappearing instantly.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect exchanged glances, each with a resolute and arrogant expression on their face.

"Walk!"

Guangchengzi let out a low shout, and above his head, Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud covering an area of about an acre rose up, with ten thousand Golden Light descending and enveloping all Twelve Golden Immortals.

He took the lead and stepped into the entrance of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.

Chijingzi, True Person Taiyi, True Person Yuding...

Eleven Golden Immortal followed closely behind, entering the great formation without the slightest hesitation.

Yellow sand surged and mist filled the air, instantly engulfing the figures of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
