After the White Turtle slowed down, Ding Danxi immediately caught up, her right hand forming a sword shape with her fingers, and she swung it repeatedly, generating sharp sword beams to attack the seven-colored light shield.
"Quick! Let's work together to help the Pavilion Master!"
He Xiao shouted, and the other elders responded in succession, launching an attack on the seven-colored light shield.
Under the combined attack of the crowd, the seven-colored light shield generated by the small porcelain bottle gradually dimmed. If this continued, Chen Mu and the others would likely not escape their fate.
"Master! What has my disciple done to warrant such a fuss?"
Elder Ming, who had been engrossed in his rune research in the talisman-making room, was finally awakened by the commotion outside and rushed over.
Ding Danxi glanced back at Elder Ming, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
" Elder Ming, my target is not Chen Mu, but the Nether Clan member next to him."
It was only because Chen Mu insisted on protecting her that things escalated to this point.
Elder Ming, if you have a solution, please help me persuade him.
" The Nether Clan?"
Elder Ming glanced around at Chen Mu and then noticed that there was indeed a woman from the Nether Clan beside him.
You're being far too nosy!
What's it to you if Chen Mu finds a wife from the Nether Clan? You're always shouting for war.
Release them now, or don't blame me for being ruthless.
Elder Ming didn't care about the reasons behind things; Chen Mu was his personal disciple, and bullying Chen Mu was bullying himself.
They've already bullied him to the point of being rude to him, and the fact that he didn't immediately take action was already a sign of respect for Ding Danxi, the head of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
Ding Danxi revealed an expression of "I knew it." Elder Ming Master Ming was known for his arrogance and disdain for others, doing things entirely according to his own preferences and never caring about the opinions of others.
Before Elder Ming retired, it was rumored that he had an emotional entanglement with a woman from another ethnic group, which was the main reason why Elder Ming's reputation in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion plummeted. His support for Chen Mu's actions was entirely within Ding Danxi's expectations.
" Elder Ming, I have been tolerant of you because I have considered the merits your ancestors made for the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion."
"Don't you dare cause trouble and disrupt the order of the pavilion, or I will not let you off easily."
If Elder Ming were in his prime, Ding Danxi would still be somewhat wary of him.
However, Elder Ming suffered a head injury decades ago, which greatly diminished his strength, so he no longer takes Elder Ming seriously.
"Fine! If that's the case, then don't blame me for turning this place upside down today!"
Elder Ming stepped into the air, and powerful Spiritual Power ripples spread outwards. He spread his hands, and a giant cannon radiating golden light appeared out of thin air, pointing at the rune scroll that He Xiao had summoned.
" The Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon!"
When Elder Ming first appeared, He Xiao was already on guard in secret. When he saw Elder Ming use his signature move, he immediately took action.
" Elder Ming, who do you think you are, daring to threaten the Pavilion Master? You'd better get past me first! Haha..."
With a flick of his wrist, the three talismans swelled in the wind, transforming into three enormous earthen-yellow shields that firmly protected his rune scrolls.
With a deafening boom, the giant cannon in Elder Ming's hand fired a terrifying energy beam, slamming into the three earthen-yellow shields.
Thump... Clang!
The three earthen-yellow surfaces held out for only a moment before being torn apart by the energy cannon, which then struck the rune scroll heavily.
"How... is this possible?"
He Xiao stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, utterly incredulous.
Elder Ming was the previous head of the Talisman Rune Hall, but he was injured and had to step down, and He Xiao succeeded him.
After He Xiao took over, many people secretly spread rumors that he was not as good as Elder Ming, which is why he often deliberately made trouble for Elder Ming.
Elder Ming was passionate about his research and didn't care about fame; he usually ignored him.
But in his eyes, he thought that Elder Ming was avoiding him and that Elder Ming's strength was nothing special.
Only today did he realize that even the injured Elder Ming was not someone he could handle.
"Puff...!"
He Xiao opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The rune scroll was his natal magic weapon, connected to his life, and now, being hit by the energy cannon, he himself was also injured.
" Elder Ming, you've gone too far!"
Ding Danxi waved her hand, and several sword beams flew out, attacking Elder Ming.
Elder Ming smiled calmly, neither dodging nor avoiding, letting the sword light pass through his body. Then, his body vanished into thin air like a bubble.
Without the runic chains binding it, the White Turtle accelerated again, whistling as it flew away.
"Chase them! Don't let them get away!"
The dozen or so elders who were besieging the seven-colored light barrier gave chase after the White Turtle as it fled.
Whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, more than a dozen humanoid creatures radiating golden light flew out and blocked the path of the elders.
"These are... Golden Puppet, how can there be so many Golden Puppet?"
An elder recognized the origin of these humanoid creatures and exclaimed in surprise.
Golden Puppet are extremely difficult to create. Each Golden Puppet generally possesses strength comparable to that of the Core Formation Realm expert, and is impervious to blades and spears, making it incredibly tough. Even Late Core Formation Realm expert would find it very difficult to destroy one.
" Elder Ming, you've been hiding your abilities very well!"
Ding Danxi turned around and looked at Elder Ming, who had reappeared, her face ashen.
Even if you recover your strength, you still cannot be my opponent within the Heaven-Severing All-Gods Array.
If you stop me again, don't blame me for hurting you.
"Hmph! Ding Danxi, don't forget, this Heaven-Severing God-Slaying Array was built by my ancestor."
"Those array base runes, I used to be responsible for maintaining them."
Elder Ming made a hand seal, and countless runes and incantations surrounded him. Then, with a wave of his hand, those runes and incantations flew away into the distance.
Knock knock!
Two beams of light from the pillars that formed the Heaven-Severing God-Slaying Array gradually dimmed and eventually went out completely.
Without the suppression of the two pillars of light, the power of the Heaven-Severing All-Gods Array immediately decreased significantly, and the White Turtle's speed increased again, almost escaping the range of the Heaven-Severing All-Gods Array.
"You... you're being ridiculous!"
Ding Danxi was furious. She made a few gestures above the Myriad Phenomena Disk Myriad Phenomena Disk, then threw it into the air.
The Myriad Phenomena Disk slowly transformed into a black hole, drawing in the White Turtle's body from afar. Not only was the White Turtle unable to escape, it was even slowly being pushed back.
"Sect Master, don't force me!!"
Elder Ming finished speaking, a thick, giant cannon barrel emerged from a distance of more than ten kilometers, its terrifying energy beginning to condense, pointing towards Ding Danxi's location.
"You... your plan succeeded?"
Ding Danxi sensed a threat coming from afar and was utterly shocked.
"I'm not sure right now, because I haven't tested it in real combat yet."
"How about it, would you like to try being its first test subject?"
Elder Ming spoke casually, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead, clearly indicating that in his current state, driving that giant cannon would still be quite challenging.
