Inside a secret room at the Heavenly Cloud Manor, all the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Cloud Manor were present, watching the scene unfold before them with extremely solemn expressions.
On the array platform, a damaged Formation Plate, as if drawn by some force, was emitting bursts of intense golden light and trembling uncontrollably, which made the atmosphere inside the secret chamber extremely heavy.
What happened? Why is the Taiyi Star Disk moving so suddenly?
Seeing this scene before him, Luo Xiong's face immediately turned ugly. In all these years, he had never seen the Formation Plate behave like this. This was a major event for his Heavenly Cloud Manor.
"We don't know either. Everything was normal until recently, when the astrolabe suddenly started acting up without any warning."
Upon hearing this, the elderly men present could only shake their heads helplessly, sigh, and say...
"Yes, this has never happened before. Just now, to be on the safe side, we carefully examined the Formation Plate, but we didn't find anything unusual. However, the Formation Plate itself seems to be somewhat out of control, as if it's being drawn by something, but this aura is too peculiar for us to trace."
After a slight hesitation, another old man spoke slowly, and the words he uttered caused Luo Cheng and the others present to change their expressions.
"What did you say?! Attraction? What in this world could attract the Taiyi Star Disk? Could it be...?"
"That fragment?!"
However, before Luo Cheng could finish speaking, Luo Xiong, Luo Hao, and Luo Ao suddenly spoke up, immediately realizing something. At the same time, the expressions on their faces became fiery.
The Taiyi Star Disk is the most prized possession of the Heavenly Cloud Manor. Over the years, Heavenly Cloud Manor's reputation and status in the Central Region are probably half due to the Taiyi Star Disk. Even the illustrious reputation of the Seven Heroes of the Luo Clan can be attributed to the Taiyi Star Disk.
The Taiyi Star Disk was Formation Plate forged by an ancestor of the Heavenly Cloud Manor with his life's work. It is ranked ninth-order and can be said to be the highest-level and most precious Formation Plate on the continent. If it is fully activated, it is said that even a powerhouse at the Yuan Sheng level can fight against it. However, this heaven-defying artifact was once damaged by a villain. Although Heavenly Cloud Manor did its best to protect it, it lost a corner of the Formation Plate. It is this missing corner that greatly reduced the power of the Taiyi Star Disk. As it is now, even if it can be used, the power of the Formation Plate is only comparable to that of Yuan Zun. Even so, it still requires the Seven Heroes of the Luo Clan to work together to unleash its power.
However, the Taiyi Star Disk, which has been immersed in this place for many years, suddenly started to move today. This situation, coupled with the elder's speculation, led Luo Xiong and the others to realize that it was the missing fragment of the Formation Plate.
If it can be found and restored, then the Taiyi Star Disk can regain its former glory, and the strength of the Heavenly Cloud Manor will naturally rise accordingly!
At that time, among the four major forces on the border of the Central Region, the position of the Heavenly Cloud Manor will be completely secured. From now on, who in the Central Region will dare to underestimate Heavenly Cloud Manor!
However, although this is indeed what I long for, where is that remaining piece now?
Given Luo Xiong and the others' minds, they naturally immediately connected the dots to Xiao Yan and his group. At that moment, apart from Luo Ao, the expressions on the faces of the other three became somewhat strange.
Just moments ago, they were discussing how to get Xiao Yan and the others out of the Heavenly Cloud Manor, but in the blink of an eye, their thoughts have returned to this group. And if they're not mistaken, the fragment of the Formation Plate is indeed among Xiao Yan and his group. So, what they had already decided...
"Lord of the Manor, Elder, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
After a moment's thought, Luo Ao looked at Luo Cheng and Luo Xiong with a mocking expression. Now, the problem had returned to the two of them, just like before, except this time, the bargaining chip was in Xiao Yan's hands.
Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng and his companion looked somewhat uneasy. They hadn't expected that fate would be so coincidental. What they had been searching for all along actually existed in this group of people, while they had just been thinking about how to expel Xiao Yan and the others. It was indeed somewhat ironic.
"It seems that Xiao Yan and his group are safe for the Heavenly Cloud Manor!"
In the end, Luo Xiong nodded with a wry smile. These words sealed Luo Cheng's decision. The other elders present were not very familiar with Xiao Yan and the others, and were somewhat confused, but they could still sense from their words that Heavenly Cloud Manor seemed to be in trouble.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after some hesitation, Xiao Yan flipped his hand and took out the strange Formation Plate fragment that was vibrating loudly from his Storage Ring.
The palm-sized white jade fragment trembled slightly in Xiao Yan's hand. Xiao Yan looked suspicious. He remembered that he had obtained this thing from Jin Yao in the Western Region many years ago, but he had kept it in his Storage Ring and ignored it. He never expected that it would suddenly cause a disturbance at the Heavenly Cloud Manor many years later.
Could it be because of the Heavenly Cloud Manor?
While they were filled with suspicion, Luo Jin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but come closer with curiosity. However, when he first saw the fragment of the Formation Plate lying in Xiao Yan's palm, his eyes instantly filled with shock, and his whole body froze involuntarily. His eyes were fixed on the fragment of the Formation Plate in Xiao Yan's hand, and the shock in his heart was no less than that of Luo Xiong and the others.
"What, you recognize this?"
Seeing the frozen, horrified expression on Luo Jin's face, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. As he finished speaking, several figures appeared in the void in front of him. Looking up, he saw Luo Ao and his group. At this moment, they were also staring at the fragment of the Formation Plate in Xiao Yan's hand with shining eyes, and the smiles on their faces couldn't help but gradually widen.
"Hahahaha... I never expected this thing to fall into the hands of my young friend Xiao Yan. It's truly a cruel twist of fate!"
" Xiao Yan, could you let this old man take a look at what you have in your hand?"
Luo Xiong burst into laughter, while Luo Ao, standing to the side, quickly turned his gaze back to Xiao Yan and asked somewhat politely.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate much and handed it over. Luo Ao stepped forward with gratitude and carefully took the fragment of the Formation Plate from Xiao Yan's hand.
