The floating island had already been sealed off by a Formation. From a distance, it looked as though the island were surrounded by a golden cocoon of light, like a blazing sun hanging in the sky.
All around it, over a hundred Emperor-level experts stood at the ready, while more than ten Sage-level divine path cultivators maintained the Formation. Trapped inside were several thousand experts from across the stars.
From Bai Yang's vantage point, he saw a crack split open in the cocoon of light sealing off the floating island. Yet before anyone inside could get out, the more than ten Sage-level divine path cultivators outside joined forces and sealed the crack again.
Though he had escaped the Formation, Bai Yang did not leave. Standing in the void, he asked, "Old Dan, are you badly hurt?"
Earlier, when Dan Qiulin had broken through Jian Ji's hidden attack, blood had trickled from the corner of his mouth. He had clearly been injured.
Dan Qiulin shook his head lightly. "I'm fine. Jian Ji may be hailed as the greatest swordsman, but he follows the path of wielding the sword through the wielder. He must have a peerless divine sword. Until he uses it, his swordsmanship is only a little stronger than mine. I was careless earlier, but I'm fine now."
Bai Yang nodded, relieved.
Seeing that Bai Yang had escaped the danger but still hadn't left, Dan Qiulin frowned. "Everyone's attention is on Jian Ji now that he has the Fountain of Life. They have no time to bother with us. Why don't we take this chance to leave?"
"I still haven't gotten what I came for, so leaving now would leave me unwilling to accept it. If I miss this chance, getting it later will take a great deal of effort.
