Meng Shitang and the Blood God Temple forces attacked Lan Tianzheng’s side, and the stronger blood-robed fighters began overwhelming the Wizard God Sect disciples. Just as the Blood Robe Man’s spear was about to kill Lan Tianzheng, Lan Caiyi awakened the power of the Wizard God Essence Blood and destroyed it, turning the sect’s fighters’ hopes toward her.

• The Wizard Gods entered the twelve statues and activated the Twelve Heavens God Fiend Formation, then sent Lan Tianzheng and the others out of the ancestral grounds with an order to preserve their bloodline.
• The blood shadow recognized the formation and attacked Lan Tianzheng’s group with a giant palm to stop the Wizard God Essence Blood from reaching them.
• The twelve statues blocked the palm, but the collision’s shock waves devastated the area, and Lan Caiyi’s Wood Vine barriers could not prevent most of the Wizard God Sect disciples from being killed.
