As Ling Tian and the others had guessed, the seven cultivators from the three sects, including Heavenly One Path, had brought five sect-suppressing treasures onto the stage. When Ling Tian and the others focused their attacks on the Huan Xin Pavilion cultivator, they activated the God Trapping Pillar. The barrier it formed trapped Ling Tian's group of seven inside, and they couldn't break free anytime soon. Their arrow attacks could no longer threaten the Huan Xin Pavilion cultivator, either.
