"Buzz—"

The moment the Primordial Golden Dou left its wielder's hand, it erupted in golden light. Its size swelled with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into the size of a small mountain, hovering above the eye of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation.

With its appearance, the entire grand formation seemed to gain a soul.

Rumble!

Within a radius of a hundred miles, winds and clouds changed, and the sky turned dim and dark.

The once calm waters of the Yellow River instantly became turbulent, with surging waves and towering, muddy torrents. Streams of murky energy, capable of polluting the Primordial Spirit and eroding the Dao Fruit, rose from the river and permeated the entire grand formation.

The fierce winds from the Nine Heavens, stirred by the formation, transformed into countless visible cyan wind blades that whistled and circled within the formation, emitting terrifying sounds like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

The murky energy from underground erupted completely, turning into a black, dense fog that enveloped everything within the formation, obscuring all vision.

From the outside, Mount Qi had completely vanished.

In its place was a colossal, terrifying vortex shrouded in yellow mist and black energy.

Within the vortex, lightning flashed and thunder roared, fierce winds howled, and faint sounds of dragon roars and tiger growls could be heard. Just a glance at it made one feel their mind sway and their head spin.

An invisible, terrifying aura, capable of stealing the creation of heaven and earth and削ing the cultivation of Immortals, emanated from the grand formation, blanketing the entire land of Xi Qi.

The mortals in Xi Qi City did not feel it clearly. They only felt that the sky had suddenly darkened and felt a sense of unease in their hearts.

But for the Heavenly Origin Sect Immortals within the city, the appearance of this aura was no less than a disaster of annihilation!

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guangchengzi, who was meditating and healing his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes, his face drained of color.

"What... what kind of formation is this?"

He discovered with horror that the Magical Power within his body was being drawn out of him, uncontrollably, by an invisible force, slowly, bit by bit!

Although the speed was slow, the feeling was unprecedentedly terrifying!

It was like a person's lifespan being forcibly stripped away by an irresistible force!

"Not good!"

Chijingzi, True Man Yuding, True Lord Taiyi... all the Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect within Xi Qi City sensed this terrifying change at the same time.

Their expressions changed drastically, and they all rushed out of their quiet rooms, gathering in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Senior Brother! Did you feel it?" True Lord Taiyi asked with a look of horror.

"I felt it!" Guangchengzi's expression was extremely grim. "What a domineering formation! Even though we are still within the city, it can affect our Dao cultivation through the Apricot Yellow Flag!"

"What kind of malevolent formation have these Sanxiao set up?" Chijingzi asked, both shocked and angry.

Jiang Ziya also ran out of the mansion. Although his cultivation was low and he didn't feel it strongly, seeing his senior brothers' grave expressions, he knew something big had happened.

"Senior Brothers, what... what exactly is going on?"

True Man Yuding looked up at the sky outside the city, which was already shrouded in yellow mist, and said with a heavy gaze, "Their formation... has succeeded."

"This formation can steal the creation of Immortals and weaken our Dao cultivation. If we remain here any longer, within a hundred years, all our cultivation will be completely worn away by this formation, and we will turn into mortals!"

"What?!"

Jiang Ziya was greatly alarmed.

There was such a vicious formation?

This was even more vicious than killing them directly!

For an Immortal who had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, having their cultivation stripped away and being cast down to the mortal world was more unbearable than death!

"They've gone too far! They've gone too far!"

True Lord Taiyi, with his fiery temper, trembled with rage.

"These Intercepting Sect fiends have such insidious methods! We'll fight them!"

"How can we fight?" Guangchengzi gave a bitter smile, his face full of dejection. "We were no match for Zhao Gongming alone. Now that the Sanxiao have joined forces, and with such a malevolent formation empowering them, what difference is there between going forth and seeking death?"

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

Yes, they couldn't win.

They couldn't even enter the enemy's formation, so how could they talk about breaking it?

For a time, an emotion called "despair" spread among the Heavenly Origin Sect Immortals.

Think about it, they were the dignified Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, disciples of a Saint. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?

First, they were utterly defeated by Zhao Gongming alone.

Now, they were cornered in the city by his three sisters, slowly being worn down by a formation, not daring to show their faces.

If this were to spread, the Heavenly Origin Sect would truly lose all face.

"Hahahaha..."

Just then, a laugh filled with smugness and arrogance echoed from outside the city, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

It was Bi Xiao's voice.

"You cowards of the Heavenly Origin Sect! Listen up!"

"We three sisters have set up the 'Nine Bends Yellow River Formation' here! We give you three days to come out of the city and break the formation!"

"If you dare to come, perhaps we'll leave you a wisp of your True Spirit to ascend the Investiture of the Gods!"

"If you don't dare to come, hehe, then you can just wait in this Xi Qi city, to be ground into mortals by my great formation, and suffer the torment of reincarnation!"

"We sisters have plenty of time to play with you slowly!"

Bi Xiao's laughter, like the most venomous curse, reverberated over the skies of Xi Qi city.

The Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect on the city walls turned ashen-faced, their fists clenched, wishing they could rush out immediately and fight her to the death.

But, reason ultimately triumphed over impulse.

They did not dare.

"Senior Brother, now... what should we do now?" Jiang Ziya was at a loss, and could only look to Guangchengzi for help.

Guangchengzi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He knew that this was no longer a problem they could solve.

The other side didn't even fear the Saints, and had even deployed a peerlessly ferocious formation like the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. This clearly showed they intended to fight the Heavenly Origin Sect to the death!

There was only one person who could resolve this matter.

"Junior Brother, at this point, there is only one way."

Guangchengzi looked at Jiang Ziya and said word by word.

"You, set off immediately, return to Kunlun Mountain, and report everything that has happened here to Master!"

"Please ask Master to make the final decision himself!"

This was their only hope.

If the disciples couldn't do it, they would ask their Master.

They refused to believe that these Sanxiao would dare to be so presumptuous in front of a Saint!

"Alright!"

Jiang Ziya also knew the urgency of the situation and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Everyone, Senior Brothers, please rest assured! Zi Ya will go and definitely invite Master to uphold justice for us!"

With that, he dared not delay, and immediately used the Earth Evasion technique to quietly leave Xi Qi city, speeding towards Kunlun Mountain in the east.

Meanwhile, on the mountaintop outside the city, the three Sanxiao sisters looked at the tightly shut city gates and the motionless Xi Qi city, cold smiles appearing on their faces.

"Eldest Sister, it seems they don't dare to come out," Bi Xiao pouted, somewhat listlessly.

"If they don't come out, we'll force them out," Qiong Xiao said coldly.

Yun Xiao's gaze, however, turned towards the east, in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

She said calmly, "They will come out."

"Jiang Ziya has already gone to Kunlun Mountain to call for reinforcements."

"We'll just wait."

"I want to see if Venerable Yuanshi will hand over the culprit to quell our anger, or if he will... disregard his dignity as a Saint and personally step in to break my Nine Bends Yellow River Formation!"
