Looking at Huo Xuedao, who was bound by dozens of blood-red chains in the center of the hall.
Everyone had a furrowed brow.
That's terrible...
There wasn't a single patch of healthy flesh on his entire body.
The limbs were shriveled up, as if all the flesh and blood had been drained from them, leaving only skin covering the bones.
The crimson chains binding Huo Xuedao seemed to breathe, expanding and contracting.
Each expansion and contraction draws upon Huo Xuedao's Blood Qi and spiritual power.
Hearing Huo Xuedao say "Go quickly" as if he had used all his strength, he realized that Huo Xuedao had to use all his strength to say it.
Ba Xiyue frowned. "Don't speak yet, wait for us to rescue you."
Under these circumstances, how could one possibly inquire about the specifics of what happened?
Moreover, judging from the situation, if they aren't rescued soon, they'll be sucked dry.
Immediately, Ba Xiyue looked at Yang Shao Chu Ran Ye Qiubai, and the others, and said, "I'm asking you all to join forces."
Hong Ying frowned slightly and secretly transmitted her voice, "Something's not right, be careful."
Ye Qiubai Ning Chenxin, Xu Yeming all nodded solemnly.
They felt the same way, but now that they've said it, let alone whether Ba Xiyue and the others believe it.
If Huo Xuedao is allowed to die, they will become the target of public criticism.
Everyone unleashed their attacks, slashing towards the dozens of red chains!
The sound of clashing iron filled the air.
The chains broke one by one.
Huo Xuedao slipped and fell to the ground.
Ba Xiyue stepped forward and asked, "What exactly happened? How could the border be breached so easily under your protection...?"
But he hadn't finished speaking.
A sudden change has occurred!
Lying on the ground, seemingly on the verge of death, Huo Xuedao suddenly experienced a surge of energy before his death!
His entire body was filled with a blood-red aura!
The broken, blood-red chains floated up at that moment, and the Blood Qi on the chains all flowed into Huo Xuedao's body!
Bang!
Those withered limbs were instantly inflated like deflated balloons!
The veins on his limbs bulged, bursting forth with boundless Blood Qi!
Huo Xuedao laughed loudly, the blood-red blade slid into his hand, and slashed at Ba Xiyue who was approaching!
This scene shocked everyone present. At such close range, there was simply no time to react and rescue Ba Xiyue!
Moreover, Huo Xuedao is a powerful expert in the Formless Realm, while Ba Xiyue is only in the Creation Realm.
With this strike, Ba Xiyue would die no matter what.
But Ba Xiyue's expression didn't change at all.
A jade pendant floated out from his chest, radiating a dazzling golden light!
Within the golden light, a hand reached out and directly grasped Huo Xuedao's blood blade!
Huo Xuedao's expression changed drastically.
No matter how much force he exerted to press forward or tried to draw his sword, he was held completely still by this illusory hand!
A sigh rang out.
It's Ba Xiyue.
" City Lord Huo, why are you doing this?" Ba Xiyue asked Huo Xuedao with a regretful expression, "Do you really think this princess has no defenses against you?"
Huo Xuedao knew he couldn't budge the hand in front of him, and decided to discard his sword, but then he discovered that the radiant golden light was releasing a massive Intent of the Emperor!
Like a mountain falling from the sky, it pressed down on Huo Xuedao.
Click!
His back arched instantly, his knees slammed hard into the ground, followed by his head, each impact leaving a deep crater.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Ba Xiyue dies here, the Banan Divine Kingdom will lose face and consequently its popularity.
For a nation, popular support is crucial to its destiny.
Not only will the nation's fortunes decline sharply, but it will also affect the cultivation of the Imperial Intent of Ba Tianque; either outcome would be fatal.
The worst-case scenario... is that they might be removed from the list of the six great divine kingdoms.
Huo Xuedao gritted his teeth, blood seeping from between his gums, "Ba... Tianque!"
A voice emanated from within the dazzling golden light, "You dare to address me by my name?"
The moment the words left his mouth, that hand flipped and pressed down.
Boom--!!!
The entire garrison seemed to sink.
The overwhelming Intent of the Emperor pressed Huo Xuedao to the ground!
"How did you find out?!" Huo Xuedao gritted his teeth.
He believed his disguise was perfect.
They are willing to damage their own essence for this.
Ba Xiyue said calmly, "Yes... but there are many doubts, such as your realm that has not been relaxed for a long time, and now it has suddenly broken through to the Formless Realm."
For example, as the city lord of Banan on the border, your slow response when the surrounding forces are invaded by a cult always happens to put us in a trap before we can provide timely assistance.
"Just because of these?" Huo Xuedao asked incredulously.
After all, the other party is too powerful, so it's normal for them to be able to conceal their presence.
Ba Xiyue nodded, "Isn't that enough? As the city lord, those Evil Cultivator cultivators didn't kill you directly to avoid affecting morale; instead, they wanted to refine you... Besides, you don't have a single Evil Cultivator guarding you."
Hearing this, Huo Xuedao seemed relieved. "No wonder the Second Princess was able to seize military power from the Crown Prince..."
At this point, Huo Xuedao, still lying on the ground, raised his head and looked at the dazzling golden light. "Your Majesty, please grant me a quick death, for the sake of my hundreds of years of guarding the border for Banan."
"His merits don't outweigh his faults." The voice was cold, and the radiant golden light wove together into strands of gold, binding Huo Xuedao layer by layer!
"Tide Yue, after this matter is settled, hang him on the border wall and behead him as a warning!"
After he finished speaking, the golden light disappeared.
Everyone was astonished upon hearing this.
Ba Tianque truly lives up to his reputation as a divine Divine Lord; he is too decisive and ruthless.
But this approach is correct; it not only serves as a warning to others but also silences negative voices about the Banan Divine Kingdom.
Ba Xiyue nodded.
Huo Xuedao's pupils contracted as he struggled and roared, " Ba Tianque--!! Even if I haven't achieved anything, I've still put in the effort! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of alienating the other generals?!"
Ba Xiyue said calmly, "Stop shouting. Father is gone. You don't need to think about self-destructing anymore. You should be able to feel that your soul and cultivation have been sealed, right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuedao turned pale.
"Tell me, how do you break this formation? Where is the core?" Ba Xiyue knelt down, staring at Huo Xuedao.
Huo Xuedao's pupils were bloodshot. "Trying to treat me like this, you still expect me to tell you?"
Ba Xiyue frowned.
Just then, a voice rang out from beside them.
"Although I don't know the name of this formation, its method of using the lives of the six sects as sacrifices to connect with the earth's veins is very similar to a formation I know."
Huo Xuedao's expression froze, and everyone else turned their heads sharply to look at Ye Qiubai.
Ye Qiubai was holding a jade pendant, from which a male voice could be heard.
"Based on my knowledge of formations, this formation has become a 'living formation.' The formation's eye is indeed on the Mount Zhenyue, but its core is not on the outside, but inside the mountain."
There is a natural underground passage there, which has been Evil Cultivator into the core of an array. To break the array, one must enter the passage and destroy the core.
"How do we get in?" Hong Ying asked.
"Although this formation is connected to the earth's veins, it is not without flaws." The voice on the other end quickened, "I observed the flow of energy in the blood curtain and found slight obstructions in the southeast and northwest, which should be the life gates left when the formation was set up."
The location of the Life Gate changes with the operation of the formation. Currently... it is three zhang to the southeast, seven chi above the ground, and five zhang to the northwest, nine chi above the ground. Entering from these two points can avoid most of the Evil Qi and lead directly into the interior of the mountain. However, the Life Gate only exists for three breaths, and there is a fifteen-minute interval between each opening.
It's Fang Qiong!
