Panic
Boom!
Before Yuxu Zi could catch his breath, the Golden Scale Lotus that had been summoned unleashed another divine light.
The divine light, surrounded by countless Dao Patterns, slammed into the barrier of the Mountain Protecting Great Array once again, carrying an unparalleled power.
The originally dazzling array of lights dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Without a doubt, judging from the current situation, the Mountain Protecting Great Array can withstand at most one or two more attacks before it is breached.
Upon witnessing this scene, the disciples of the Qingwang Sect inside the mountain gate felt their hair stand on end, as if a chill was emanating from their very backs.
It should be noted that the vast majority of disciples are mainly responsible for maintaining the operation of various Node in the formation; they are not even required to infuse Mana into it.
Even so, the attack from the Immortal Artifact nearly knocked them unconscious.
"Hurry! Go get help! My battle flags have been broken!"
"Where are the elders? Where are they?"
"Quickly report to the Sect Master!"
Not a single Qingwang Sect disciple was able to remain calm.
Panicked disciples could be seen everywhere around the mountain gate, but thankfully, despite the chaos, no one had abandoned their post and run away yet.
However, often, the more panicked you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes, regardless of your will.
If we continue to let the chaos spread, we definitely won't be able to withstand the next attack.
"Calm down, everyone do your job."
A beautiful woman descended from the sky, shouting and trying her best to control the situation.
As an elder of Yuxia Peak, she still held considerable prestige among the disciples.
Seeing that the panic among her disciples had been temporarily suppressed, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He then turned to look at the Golden Scale Lotus that was faintly visible in the clouds, and sighed inwardly, "The Immortal Artifact of the Golden Scale Holy Land are truly terrifying."
"Prepare for a head-on confrontation."
Yuxu Zi's ears were ringing, and even his vision was somewhat blurred.
Of course, he wasn't physically weak.
In fact, the reason why none of these Qingwang Sect disciples were injured was because he deliberately absorbed the remaining impact.
As soon as Yuxu Zi stood up, he stumbled.
Wang the Gambler reacted quickly and caught him, preventing Yuxu Zi from collapsing in front of so many disciples.
"Is the Mountain Protecting Great Array about to collapse?" Wang the Gambler asked in a low voice.
Yuxu Zi shook his head. "There's no point in blocking one or two more attacks."
He gazed at the disciples from various immortal sects who were gradually gathering around the mountain gate like ants.
His face immediately turned extremely gloomy, and he could barely contain his inner resentment.
He clearly understood the plans of the various immortal sects.
Before Yuxu Zi became the Sect Master of the Qingwang Sect, he was also a renowned genius who could compete with top cultivators of his generation. Even if he lost, he would not be humiliated like this.
And now, are they treating their Qingwang Sect like monsters from the Hundred Thousand Mountains?
The undisguised actions of the various immortal sects made him feel humiliated as he had never felt before.
However, reality is cruel; with the strength of the Qingwang Sect, it is simply impossible to mount a sufficiently powerful counterattack.
Yuxu Zi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "This is outrageous!"
As he waved his hand to dispel the Mountain Protecting Great Array, he conjured a large hand of Mana and struck down from above, targeting the disciples of the various immortal sects outside the mountain gate.
With his cultivation at the early stage of the Integration Realm, if his attack, fueled by hatred, were to succeed, killing over a thousand low-level cultivators would be no problem. At the very least, few disciples from the immortal sects in that direction would survive.
However, the fact that the leaders of the major immortal sects chose to do this means that they are fearless.
The powerful Mana hand froze mid-air before it could even strike its target, and was ultimately crushed to nothing by the endless divine light.
"Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far."
The Sect Master of the Taishi Sect spoke in a calm tone, as if he were casually stubbing out a Cigarette Butt.
The leader of the Yuhuo Cult Sect sneered, "As the Sect Master, how could you have the audacity to attack a junior? No wonder you taught a vicious scoundrel like Lu Bai."
They were probably outraged by the shameless behavior of these high-ranking members of the immortal sects.
A rainbow-like light rose into the sky from the mountain gate, and the beautiful woman at the center of the light quickly unleashed a ball of cyan-colored Mana.
This ball of Mana automatically split into thousands upon thousands of raindrops during its flight, directly launching a wide-area attack on the numerous high-ranking members of the immortal sects within the clouds.
"Fairy Yuxia, it's been many years. You've also reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
The Sect Master of the Taishi Sect stood with his hands behind his back. Without him doing anything, his entire body emanated wisps of divine light.
The overflowing divine light intercepted all the raindrops of Mana in a mysterious way. "Unfortunately, there's no opportunity for Nascent Soul stage cultivators to perform in this setting."
Fairy Yuxia was furious, but there was really nothing she could do.
Yuxu Zi lightly rose to his feet and came to the side of his elder. He was about to say something when his eyes suddenly flashed and he noticed a figure appearing in the distant sky.
The opponent was radiant with golden light, and the fierce aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he had mastered the Golden Scale Evil Suppressing Art to its fullest extent.
The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land arrived at the scene and, without saying a word, decisively took action.
With a flick of his arm, his hand, as pure as gold, clapped in the air towards Yuxu Zi and Fairy Yuxia.
Huang Mengmeng's Mana surged with the wind, expanding in an instant to a volume of nearly a hundred feet, crashing down like a mountain.
Yuxu Zi rapidly formed hand seals, creating a towering azure glow that attempted to reverse and cover the golden mountain of Mana.
Even though he was prepared, he still had to consider Fairy Yuxia beside him, and his strength was insufficient.
After a brief stalemate, they were pressed down into the mountain gate by the golden mountain.
The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land stood in mid-air, his expression somewhat unfriendly, and coldly said to the high-ranking members of the various immortal sects present, "Push down the Azure Qingwang Sect as soon as possible, stop dawdling."
"What happened?" The Sect Master of the Taishi Sect was slightly surprised, not understanding what could possibly happen when the allied forces of the immortal sects were dealing with a small Qingwang Sect.
"That brat named Lu Bai is still alive; he exchanged blows with me across the void."
The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land made no attempt to conceal anything, warning, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, that kid is a genuine Mahayana stage."
"Is this really true?"
The Sect Master the Taishi Sect frowned.
Cultivators at the Mahayana stage are only one step away from becoming immortals, and all immortal sects must be on high alert.
In fact, the various immortal sects believed that Lu Bai had died under the Lightning Tribulation, which is why they formed this immortal sect alliance to target the Qingwang Sect.
If Qingwang Sect had a Mahayana stage standing behind it, no matter how dissatisfied other immortal sects were with the Qingwang Sect, they would not have taken such actions.
After all, even if a living Mahayana stage is old and frail and only has one chance left to make a move, a top-tier immortal sect like the Holy Land would not want to offend him unless absolutely necessary, let alone a Mahayana stage cultivator of Lu Bai's age.
The Sect Master of the Taishi Sect hesitated for a moment. "Then we should..."
