Trap

Ten years ago, Shentu Nantian still vividly remembered the battle between the Shentu Family and the Shepherd Boy. The Youth in Green before him had killed many of Shentu Nantian's Shentu Nantian and was now his sworn enemy!

"You've got guts! Knowing there was a trap, you still dared to come alone. You're dead today!"

Shentu Nantian's mind tightened. Facing the Shepherd Boy, this powerful member of the Wilderness Clan, even with the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, the help of Elder Su and Elder Mo, and some hidden trump cards, he still couldn't muster the courage.

This was entirely due to the battle ten years ago; the Shepherd Boy had left him with immense psychological trauma.

The Shepherd Boy glanced at Shentu Nantian. His pair of dark eyes were like two bolts of cold lightning piercing through the void, carrying an unparalleled aura that shot straight into people's hearts!

In that instant, Shentu Nantian's face paled slightly. He felt that the Shepherd Boy's eyes seemed to see right through him, capable of harming him with just a glance!

Shentu Nantian retreated several steps in the void, and just then, Old Su, holding a bronze mirror, stood calmly in front of Shentu Nantian.

As a result, Shentu Nantian's pressure was greatly reduced.

"Young Master Nantian, he's just bluffing. He's not the same person he was ten years ago!"

Old Su looked at the Shepherd Boy with a cold smile.

At this moment, many people in the Prince Chu's Estate learned that the experts from the Wilderness Clan had arrived, and they all came out of their residences to watch the great battle in the sky.

They were both excited and nervous.

"Is that the Shepherd Boy?"

The people in the Prince Chu's Estate were seeing Shepherd Boy for the first time.

Both sides in the battle are beings they can hardly look up to in normal times. This battle is bound to be earth-shattering! For them, this is a rare opportunity to witness such a spectacle.

"If we keep our distance and get caught in the aftermath of their fight, we'll surely be reduced to ashes..."

The people in the Prince Chu's Estate's mansion were all self-aware; even the Prince Chu, under the protection of his guards, kept a distance of ten miles from the Shepherd Boy and his companions.

With the eyesight of a martial artist, even in the night sky, ten miles away, one can still clearly see the details of the battlefield.

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber of the Prince's mansion, at the heart of the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, Yi Yun raised his head and looked out at the night sky through the barrier of the array.

Just now, a sense swept over him, and even though he was surrounded by arrays, it couldn't block that sense.

He knew that the Wild Clan had sent people!

Jiang Xiaorou ultimately had to get the powerful members of the Desolate Clan to take action.

Unexpectedly, the attack by the Wilderness Clan unleashed Beast Tide powerful enough to destroy Tai'a, leaving him with no way out.

But later, he was sentenced to death by the Shentu Family, whom he had originally thought were his saviors, and he even had to rely on the Desolate Clan to save him.

Such a stunning reversal is utterly ironic.

"Shepherd Boy, since you're here today, you might as well stay! Ten years ago, in that battle, you borrowed a Sacred Howl from the Netherworld Desolate God, Primordial Sacred Beast. It was indeed powerful, but that Sacred Howl was severely injured by the Ancestor. It's good enough that it's still alive. Without that Sacred Howl, you're at most just an old dragon tortoise, like a tiger without claws or teeth. What's there to fear?"

"He can't teleport like a dragon turtle!" Shentu Nantian interjected at this moment, "I deliberately set a ten-day timeframe so that he could rush over from the Divine Wilderness. Although that old dragon turtle is strong, it's very slow and huge. How could it be transported by a regular teleportation array? So... that old dragon turtle simply can't make it!"

Shentu Nantian sneered. Ten days had passed since he arrived at the Prince Chu's City, from the Divine Wilderness. Moreover, the time it took for the Shepherd Boy to receive the message had to be deducted. It was already quite remarkable that he had managed to get here on his own.

"Not bad, it doesn't even have the Dragon Tortoise True Spirit." As Elder Su spoke, a phantom slowly appeared behind him. It was a thousand-armed Buddha statue, and in front of the statue, a solitary bronze lamp was slowly burning.

This is Master Su's Dharma Aspect Totem!

"The Dharma Aspect Totem of the Thousand-Armed Buddha?"

The people of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom were seeing this kind of Dharma Aspect Totem for the first time. The Dharma Aspect Totem was dozens of feet tall, and when it was unleashed, it stood tall and firm, like a giant Buddha as big as a mountain standing behind Elder Su.

This scene is truly breathtaking.

Before this, the Dharma Aspect Totem they had seen, even those of sages and powerful beings, were much smaller than this.

At that moment, from all directions of the Prince Chu's Estate's mansion, dazzling Dharma Aspect Totem lit up like torches.

One by one, the elders and luminaries of the Shentu Family flew into the night sky.

Each of them was a renowned figure in their region. Normally, they considered themselves superior and rarely joined forces to fight against others.

But today, a total of ten elders of the Shentu Family, along with Elder Su and Elder Mo, a total of twelve peerless figures, surrounded the Shepherd Boy from twelve directions.

They had already gone to great lengths, resorting to any means necessary, to deal with the Shepherd Boy.

If they could kill the Shepherd Boy, it would be a great achievement, Shentu Family would reward them with immeasurable value.

The Shepherd Boy found himself surrounded, and beneath his feet lay the Heaven and Earth Jue Luo Great Formation, meticulously set up by the Shentu Family!

"Shepherd Boy, your Wild Clan are essentially just beast tamers. Without Primordial Sacred Beast to command, I don't believe you can escape alive!"

Elder Mo, dressed in black and holding a golden sword, pointed it directly at the Shepherd Boy.

The Shepherd Boy merely glanced at Elder Mo and said indifferently, "The Dharma Aspect Totem failed to enter your body... Your cultivation is nothing more than this."

The Shepherd Boy's voice was calm, his blue robe fluttering in the wind.

"How arrogant!" Ignored by the Shepherd Boy, a cold glint flashed in Elder Mo's eyes. "Ten years ago, you were struck by the Ancestor's Deathly Sky Wheel, and you're still injured. Yet you dare to spout such nonsense! Who gave you the audacity!"

Ten years ago, in that battle, the Shepherd Boy commanded the Sacred Howl to fight against the Old Ancestor Shentu.

As a beast tamer, the Sacred Howl borrowed from the Netherworld Desolate God was the Shepherd Boy's strongest fighting force, but this Sacred Howl was severely injured by Old Ancestor Shentu.

At the same time, the Shepherd Boy was also struck by the Deathly Sky Wheel of the Old Ancestor Shentu!

The strength of Old Ancestor Shentu can be described as unfathomable! However, after that battle, Old Ancestor Shentu was also injured and is currently in seclusion to recuperate.

Elder Mo believed that the Shepherd Boy was more seriously injured than Old Ancestor Shentu ten years ago, which was why he had to retreat. Once the Deathly Sky Wheel entered his body, it was almost indelible.

Currently, Shentu Nantian's strength has recovered to less than 60%, so how much can the Shepherd Boy recover?

The Shepherd Boy remained silent, offering no reply to Elder Mo.

Suddenly, he turned slightly and looked towards a spot in the void. The Shepherd Boy, holding a bamboo flute, gently waved his sleeve and said, "Come out. I know you're hiding in the shadows."

The void was calm and still; no one answered.

The Shepherd Boy silently held his bamboo flute across his chest and said in a deep voice, "Do you want me to invite you out?"

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing laugh echoed from the void, sending chills down one's spine.

"I was merely accompanying the Shentu Family on their journey to the Tai'a Divine Kingdom and had no intention of intervening. But now that you have personally descended upon us, how could I possibly miss this opportunity?"

The hoarse voice sent chills down everyone's spines. The people of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom were speechless with shock. There had already been twelve renowned figures, among whom Elder Su and Elder Mo were exceptionally powerful, and even Shentu Nantian treated them with utmost respect.

And now, there's someone lurking in the shadows? And it seems this person is the strongest of them all!
