I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Inside the great formation, Wen Changqing, the sect leader of the Hundred Herbs Sect, Wen Daoxuan, the Supreme Elder, and all the disciples and elders were all pale-faced, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Wen Daoxuan".

Qing Xuanzi finally spoke. His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable majesty, as if the heavens were issuing a decree.

"I'll ask you one last time."

"Where are the murderers who killed Fang He, the deacon of my holy land, and the entire Xue family?"

"Hand over the murderer, offer up all the spiritual herbs your Hundred Herbs Sect has accumulated over ten thousand years, and cripple your cultivation. This elder can decide to preserve the bloodline of your Hundred Herbs Sect."

His words were arrogant to the extreme!

It was as if the fate of the Hundred Herbs Sect rested solely on his decision.

Wen Daoxuan withstood the terrifying pressure, his old face flushed red, and he stared intently at Qing Xuanzi, his voice hoarse.

"Qing Xuanzi! Don't push your luck!"

"Fang He and the Xue family deserved their fate! My Hundred Herbs Sect has now submitted to the Great Xia Divine Dynasty and is now a subordinate force of the Divine Dynasty! If you dare to touch my Hundred Herbs Sect, aren't you afraid of the Divine Dynasty's thunderous wrath?"

He brought out his only remaining support.

"The Great Xia Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Xuanzi seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and scoffed disdainfully.

"A tiny force that popped up out of nowhere, one I've never even heard of, dares to call itself a 'Divine Dynasty'? Does it even deserve to be feared by the Sacred Land of Taicang?"

The four elders behind him, along with the thousands of disciples of the Holy Land, burst into laughter, their laughter filled with endless mockery and contempt.

"A power that doesn't even have a sage dares to call itself a divine dynasty? It's utterly ridiculous!"

"In my opinion, we should just flatten them. Why waste time talking to these country bumpkins?"

"That's right! Anyone who dares to kill someone from my holy land, even if they are the Heavenly King himself, must die!"

Hearing those harsh laughs, Wen Daoxuan trembled with anger, yet he was powerless to refute them.

Yes, although the Great Xia Dynasty is powerful, its foundation is too shallow. How can it compare with a behemoth like the Taicang Holy Land, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years?

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"Since you've chosen your own deaths, then this elder will grant your wish!"

The last bit of patience in Qing Xuanzi's eyes was exhausted. His half-open eyes suddenly snapped open, and two beams of cold lightning shot out!

He said no more, and with his seemingly withered hand, he gently pressed down across the vast void.

Rumble—!

A colossal hand, formed entirely from the laws of heaven and earth, appeared out of thin air, obscuring the entire sky and carrying an unparalleled pressure capable of crushing everything, and slammed down on the protective array of the Hundred Herbs Sect!

Even before the palm strike fully landed, the terrifying pressure caused the Hundred Herbs Sect's protective array to groan in despair. Cracks spread wildly across the light barrier like a spiderweb!

"Not good!" Wen Daoxuan's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he poured his own Venerable Realm power of law into the great formation without reservation, trying to slow down its collapse.

However, all of this was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of Qing Xuanzi, a veteran Celestial Venerable.

"broken!"

Qing Xuanzi uttered a single word softly.

Snap! Snap!

The protective array that had guarded the Hundred Herbs Sect for tens of thousands of years let out a mournful cry, cracking inch by inch like shattered glass. Finally, amidst the despairing gazes of countless Hundred Herbs Sect disciples, it exploded with a deafening roar, turning into countless specks of light that vanished without a trace.

"kill!"

"Leave no one alive!"

Behind Qing Xuanzi, an elder steward grinned and waved his hand.

"Kill them!"

Thousands of disciples from the Taicang Holy Land, who had been unable to restrain themselves any longer, were like tigers released from their cages. Riding on their escape lights, they transformed into streams of azure light and descended from the sky, fiercely rushing towards the unarmed members of the Hundred Herbs Sect below!

The undisguised, chilling killing intent made Wen Changqing and his daughter Wen Zhi turn deathly pale and feel icy cold.

Finished!

It's all over!

However, just as the blue torrent was about to engulf the entire Hundred Herbs Sect...

Om-!

Without warning, the entire mountain range of Baicao Sect suddenly trembled!

The next instant, strange ripples, invisible to the naked eye, spread out quietly from the depths of the earth, like ripples on the surface of water.

The hundreds of disciples of the Taicang Holy Land who were at the forefront hadn't even realized what was happening when the ground beneath their feet instantly turned into a hazy white mist.

"What's going on? My divine sense... is being suppressed!"

"Oh no! It's a formation! We've fallen into a trap!"

"ah--!"

Heart-wrenching screams rose and fell!

Within the white mist, countless sharp and unparalleled sword energies appeared out of thin air, crisscrossing like a giant meat grinder, each flash taking away dozens of lives!

Blood stained the white mist.

This sudden turn of events caused the originally raging torrent of blue water to abruptly halt!

"This is... a killing formation?!"

Above, the four elders' expressions changed.

For the first time, a look of astonishment finally appeared on Qing Xuanzi's usually placid face.

He never expected that this sect, which he considered as weak as an ant, would actually have such a hidden trump card!

"What's the panic!" a hot-tempered elder roared. "A few mere killing formations think they can stop my holy land's advance? Break them!"

He formed a hand seal, and a hundred-foot-tall fire phoenix, condensed from the laws of fire, let out a loud cry and swooped down towards the sword energy killing array below!

boom!

The fire phoenix crashed into the formation, unleashing a burst of violent flames that instantly incinerated the sword energy in that area, tearing open a gap in the formation.

However, before the sneer on his face could fully bloom...

The runes on the ground around the gap lit up again!

Roar!

A hundred-foot-long water dragon, formed from endless black water, roared out and began to tear at the fire phoenix in a frenzy!

Meanwhile, the same changes have occurred in other areas!

Thunder Killing Array! Meteor Killing Array! Illusory Heart Killing Array!

One after another, extremely high-grade and incredibly powerful killing formations sprang up like mushrooms after rain, dividing, surrounding, and frantically slaughtering the thousands of disciples of the Taicang Holy Land!

In an instant, screams, roars, and the sounds of magical weapons clashing resounded throughout the entire world!

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Taicang Holy Land has already lost nearly a thousand elite disciples!

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?"

"These formations are interconnected and endlessly regenerating! They're simply impossible to break!"

The four elders were both shocked and furious.

When they joined forces, they could destroy one or two killing formations each time, but soon, new formations would rise from elsewhere, seemingly endless!

What alarmed them even more was that, just as they were doing their best to break through the formation...

hum!hum!hum!

In the core area of ​​the Hundred Herbs Sect, even thicker and more solid golden light curtains rose up once again!

Those were actually defensive formations of a higher grade!

The entire Hundred Herbs Sect was protected as solid as a rock, with no way out!

Wen Changqing, Wen Zhi, and the others stared blankly at the unbelievable scene before them, their minds completely blank.

They couldn't understand how such a terrifying series of formations had been set up within their sect.

"It was Young Master...it must have been Young Master who did it!" Wen Daoxuan was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He remembered the scene of Feng You "strolling" around the sect. It turned out that he had been preparing for today's situation all along!

Above the sky, Qing Xuanzi's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

He stared intently at the mountain range below, shrouded in the light of the array, his eyes filled with endless chill.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

He snorted coldly and finally decided to take action himself.

He slowly raised his right hand, joined his index and middle fingers together, and pointed at the layers of array light screen below.
