Chapter 841 The Trump Card

The moment the voice of the Lei family patriarch rang out.

Yue Hanzhang clearly felt that in an instant, an invisible and formless extraordinary power suddenly fell behind him like a huge curtain covering the sky.

It was just like the feeling I had when I was trapped in the Great Array of Ten Thousand Saints.

In the blink of an eye, someone was able to act so swiftly, using an Inner Realm Dao Lord-level Sumeru Talisman Array to block his path.

obviously.

The Lei family patriarch did not arrive in haste.

As early as when Yue Hanzhang was fighting a bloody battle with the wandering demons and evil spirits in the desolate area by the Star Sea, there were already remnants who still harbored the desire to revive their noble families, and they decisively sent the news to the outside world.

Furthermore, as Yue Hanzhang fought his way through the later stages of the battle, his frequent "outbursts" repeatedly resonated with the myriad threads of nature, and his chaotic silhouette further helped the patriarchs of the various families determine Yue Hanzhang's condition.

then.

At a certain point in the starry sky that they had already carefully considered and analyzed beforehand.

A "pocket formation" awaiting Yue Hanzhang's entry had been quietly waiting for him to break in.

As the supreme Sumeru rune array descended.

In an instant, the entire extraterrestrial star field and the territory already explored by the Dao Alliance were completely isolated from each other in terms of spatial concept.

The falling of this invisible curtain signifies that the long-planned trap has tightened the moment the "prey" enters.

And then in that instant.

The Lei family patriarch, who had just revealed his form, and Yue Hanzhang, who was still panting heavily, both breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lei family patriarch was grateful that he had seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, the current time is quite special.

It is true that Yue Hanzhang's revolutionary achievements have swept across the entire Dao Alliance.

However, the time was still short, and those Taoist temples in Zhenzhou had just been established and were just getting on the right track.

Their efficient operation and orderly succession of generations of geniuses and prodigies have not yet fully unfolded.

Similarly, although the powerful families of Zhuzhen Prefecture have withdrawn from the scene, some of their prestige accumulated over hundreds of millions of years still remains.

Now, with the "correction of wrongs" and "restoration of the original source," everything can be quickly returned to the original framework of the Dao Alliance and the aristocratic families.

They might even be able to use this opportunity to break down the old and establish anew, clearing away some of the bloated and gloomy aspects that the aristocratic families themselves felt were cumbersome, and start afresh.

At the same time, the resources that Yue Hanzhang and the Dao Alliance headquarters had invested in managing these Zhenzhou Daoist academies would also be transformed into the resources of their family!
But what if the time drags on any longer?

Once the withdrawal of aristocratic families becomes a definite certainty, the Zhenzhou Daoist Academy's model will fully form a cycle of tiered advancement for cultivators.

Faced with the inertia of the powerful rule framework, even if the patriarchs of the various families killed Yue Hanzhang, the "legacy" he left behind would inevitably become an inseparable part of the Dao Alliance's human race's inheritance.

In fact, this was what the Lei family patriarch was worried about.

Time was on Yue Hanzhang's side.

He feared that Yue Hanzhang, who had been making great strides and showing great courage in the past, might actually stop exploring the future in the later stages of the outdoor scenes, and as the leader of the Dao Alliance, he would stay in the explored star field for a long time.

It won't take too long.

In just over a decade, the Taoist Alliance was able to fully establish a cycle.

In just a century or so, this pattern will be thoroughly imprinted on all cognition related to the extraordinary world, like a steel stamp of thought.

At that time, Yue Hanzhang's "spiritual will" in breaking the tripod will be immortalized!
Good luck!

In the eyes of the Lei family patriarch and others, this was the period when Yue Hanzhang needed the most composure, yet he made such a wrong move.

What happened to the wandering demons and vengeful ghosts?
If it were him, he would rather let these wandering demons wreak havoc on the several star fields that have already been explored than fight them in a bloody battle on the edge of the star sea!
Yue Hanzhang's choice was incredibly unwise!

In fact, it is precisely because of this unwise decision.

The Lei family patriarch had his doubts: was Yue Hanzhang's somewhat risky move actually an unexpected setup?

The temptation of being able to set things right, rectify the situation, and even allow various families to take this opportunity to absorb new resources and reach new heights led the Lei family patriarch to believe that Yue Hanzhang's actions were for the sake of the Dao Alliance's overall interests.

Consequently, they ignored those subtle senses of risk.

When they arrived at the location and set up the trap to lure the enemy in, the Inner Realm Dao Lords monitored all directions, not missing even the slightest wisp of starlight.

Thus, the gathering of the world's most outstanding cultivators allowed them to relax.

They did not believe that any scheme could shake the collective power they had formed.

then.

For a moment, the only thought in the mind of the Lei family patriarch was the pure desire to kill Yue Hanzhang.

Meanwhile, Yue Hanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief.

We are not afraid of people coming, nor are we afraid of large crowds.

I'm afraid people won't come!

Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui conspired together in a short period of time.

Even if the two foxes, old and young, exhausted all their energy, this was all they could do.

They took advantage of the prevailing trend, and even exploited the relatively indifferent mentality of cultivators who stood at the pinnacle of cultivation.

The only thing to fear with such a plan is that these aristocratic patriarchs won't accept it!

If they simply watch Yue Hanzhang perform on his own, things will only get worse, and Yue Hanzhang will be put in a difficult position.

After all, Yue Hanzhang could use his bloody battle with wandering demons and ghosts to "ambiguously" touch upon the blurred boundaries between the borderlands and the outer star sea.

But if these people don't react, Yue Hanzhang can't just recklessly barge into the outer star system on his own.

If the behavior is too obvious, even a detached sense of crisis will increase exponentially.

But what if this plan fails?

No matter how ingenious Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui's designs may be in the future.

Again and again.

Anyone could tell that Yue Hanzhang was up to no good.

This is where the "risk" of Yue Hanzhang's scheme lies.

Like punching cotton, unable to exert any force, Lin Laogui remains trapped in the rhythm and rut of the mastermind behind the scenes, and if Lin Laogui suffers a serious injury as a result, Yue Hanzhang himself will be the next to follow suit.

A vicious cycle will erupt amidst today's "risks".

Fortunately.

The bet was won!
At this moment, Yue Hanzhang and the patriarchs of various aristocratic families found themselves in a state of mutual attraction.

and.

For Yue Hanzhang, there was also an external reason for his sense of relief: he no longer needed to suppress his true offensive capabilities.

During the previous battles against the wandering demons and evil spirits, Yue Hanzhang had been concealing his moves, maintaining a level of killing power similar to that when he killed the patriarch of the Fu family.

For Yue Hanzhang, who stood out from the average sixth-ranked cultivator at Tiandu Daoyuan, hiding his moves was a familiar thing, and he was also adept at occasionally unleashing his full power.

The difficulty lies in making every hidden move appear as if you're giving it your all.

Pretend that you have done your best.

This was a real test of Yue Hanzhang's control over his own combat abilities.

If it weren't for the successive influx of the "Opening Heaven True Scripture" and the "True Form Myriad Transformations Killing Word Technique" into Yue Hanzhang's physical and spiritual foundation, he wouldn't even have been able to make such a disguise seamless in front of the patriarchs of the various aristocratic families.

Fortunately.

The next moment, I was finally free from such frustrating moments.

This shift in mindset, akin to "suppression followed by elevation," even had a reverse effect on Yue Hanzhang at this moment, causing him to relax while his entire being, including his spirit, body, and the origins of his Dao, became more active than ever before.

It was as if someone who had been doing weight training for a long time was slowly untying the sandbags binding their limbs.

In the depths of his being, Yue Hanzhang even had a premonition.

Under such conditions, one's peak offensive techniques can even retain 30% of their power.

Was this also part of the ruthless and cunning Lin Laogui's calculations?
Yue Hanzhang raised an eyebrow for no apparent reason, then looked at the Lei family patriarch who seemed to have his back completely.

And behind him, three other figures slowly emerged.

An elderly woman with white hair and a youthful face, a very old man, and a middle-aged man with gray hair.

Yue Hanzhang's gaze first locked onto the middle-aged man for a moment.

He was almost a carbon copy of the former head of the Tao family.

Clearly, before the Xinghu Tao family underwent its transformation, the lineage of the family head was directly descended from this person.

then.

Yue Hanzhang looked at the Lei family patriarch again.

From the figures and auras displayed by these people, Yue Hanzhang did not detect in any of them the Daoist essence of the supreme Sumeru talisman array that could cut off his escape route.

Clearly, there are more than just these four people; there are others hiding, and others who haven't shown themselves yet!

"Is it just you few? After all that fuss, is this all the hatred the patriarchs of the various families harbor for me?"

Hear the words.

The patriarch of the Lei family gave a cold laugh.

"It's not just the four of us who wish we could annihilate you completely."

"Instead, it's to end your life. With just the four of us, it's already a foolproof killing trap!"

"more people?"

"You don't deserve that kind of show of force!"

Upon hearing this.

Yue Hanzhang's eyes grew even deeper.

This doesn't work.

There are too few people!

If the situation continues as it is, even if Yue Hanzhang were to fight back, the most likely scenario would still be a one-against-four situation for Yue Hanzhang.

But many more people are still lurking around, watching the show.

This situation is very unfavorable for Lin Laogui's subsequent appearance and for the final ending.

Yue Hanzhang's thinking was very clear.

Right now, he is an extremely delicious bait, and the situation before him is the largest nest ever dug in the history of this boundless starry sea!

Yue Hanzhang needs to increase his attractiveness!

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Yue Hanzhang's gaze instantly locked onto the elderly man.

The existence of the "True Form Myriad Transformations Killing Technique" also gave Yue Hanzhang a function that he had never had before, and which was not so independent and specific.

That is his ability to keenly discern a person's combat strength by sensing their aura.

Of the four people in front of him, this elderly man had the lowest "combat strength".

So, the moment Yue Hanzhang's gaze locked onto the elderly man, he crossed the river without hesitation.

Almost simultaneously, the remaining three dispersed and positioned themselves at a distance from Yue Hanzhang from different directions, while the elderly man alone faced Yue Hanzhang head-on.

They did not act together.

Instead, they planned to first have Yue Hanzhang clash with the elderly man to witness firsthand the depth of Yue Hanzhang's offensive and defensive capabilities.

This is their test subject.

After all, although Yue Hanzhang had only killed the Fu family patriarch in an instant, everyone could see the difficulties he had faced deep within the Dao Lord's domain before that.

No matter how you look at it, this will only be a purely offensive attack.

even.

Before Yue Hanzhang could even get close, the elderly man slowly opened his Dao Lord Domain.

The dark, blood-red flames converged into a vast ocean, and within each wave of blood-red flames, the spirit of all living things leaped forth.

It was clear that the Blood Flame Realm was about to meet Yue Hanzhang and crush him with an irresistible momentum.

Standing still, Yue Hanzhang suddenly stomped on the empty space in the starry sky.

click -

The Sumeru Crack instantly split open before his eyes.

The Daoist aura of [Nine Palaces Change of Form] had just begun to rise when the flames of [Three Primal Elements Return to Wonder] suddenly supported the penetration of the Sumeru Crack.

Then, the barrier of the Daoist Lord's domain, which was isolated from the world, was instantly pierced by Yue Hanzhang.

The other end of the Sumeru Crack opened into the Blood Flame Realm.

Then, the next moment.

The previously composed expressions of the Lei family patriarch and his companions suddenly changed in horror.

Two unprecedented and unfamiliar Daoist auras suddenly soared into the sky from Yue Hanzhang's body!

The True Scripture of Creation and the True Form Myriad Transformations Killing Technique!
The hidden weapon was formed in an instant, and then Yue Hanzhang raised the supreme divine weapon and gently pushed it into the open Sumeru rift.

The trump card!
