Action

In the still and deep night, a group of uninvited guests quietly flew into the dark sky above the imperial city. They were none other than Li Yunfan and ten other cultivators from Huangfeng Valley.

Liu Jing, who was in the lead, quietly observed the so-called forbidden area of ​​the seven sects, and then gave an order to rush in first.

Seeing this, the others naturally followed closely behind him and rushed forward. However, Li Yunfan and Han Li deliberately slowed down and fell behind the crowd.

Li Yunfan turned his head slightly to look at Han Li, and saw that he was silent for a moment before nodding to himself. Only then did he feel completely at ease.

You should know that Han Li secretly came to the imperial city last night and set up the improved Inverted Five Elements Formation, which was his biggest advantage in daring to come here.

A moment later, the ten people flew over the palace and looked down at everything inside.

"Later, as planned, we will split into two groups. One group will go to the emperor's palace to rescue him from the Black Fiend Cult, while the other group will head straight to the Cold Palace where the Black Fiend Cult leader is located, and concentrate our forces to eliminate the three Blood Servants first. Then, after the two groups have converged, we will deal with the Black Fiend Cult leader who is currently in seclusion."

Liu Jing solemnly reiterated the plan, and after everyone nodded, they split into two teams to begin their operation. Zhong Weiniang and Chen Qiaoqian were assigned to rescue the Yue Emperor, while the rest went to kill the disciples of the Black Fiend Sect.

This plan was finalized based on the intelligence provided by Han Li and Li Yunfan. In particular, Han Li learned from the young prince that the leader of the Black Fiend Sect was in seclusion cultivating his techniques, which gave them ample time to deal with the other disciples of the Black Fiend Sect.

Moreover, Li Yunfan and his companion had already killed a Blood Servant, which gave them even greater confidence in breaking through the Black Fiend Sect.

"Seventh Junior Sister, Junior Sister Chen, you two must be extra careful!" Liu Jing gave them a special reminder before they left.

The two women responded solemnly, then flew diagonally down and disappeared silently into the night.

"Let's go too. When you see other cultivators, don't hold back. Those who can stay in the palace must be members of the Black Fiend Sect," Liu Jing said coldly to everyone, and then immediately flew towards the location of the Cold Palace that he had learned from Han Li.

The others naturally followed suit.

Before long, the eight of them descending from the sky were spotted by the Black Fiend Sect disciples guarding outside the Cold Palace.

They immediately let out a shrill warning, and then all sorts of magical spells and artifacts came crashing down on the group from hidden places near the Cold Palace.

Liu Jing snorted coldly, and with a flick of his hand, he threw out a shimmering silk handkerchief, which transformed into a huge barrier in front of everyone, blocking all the spells and magical artifacts. He even reflected some of the spells back, causing the Black Fiend Sect disciples below to flee in disarray.

"Senior Brother Liu, you've got some impressive skills! Watch this!"

Standing next to Liu Jing, Song Meng shouted a thumbs up and then threw his blue longsword out.

After the longsword left his hand, it instantly transformed into a giant blue sword several meters long. Then, Song Meng made hand seals, and the giant sword emitted a long cry before it began to spin on its own like a blue disc.

A sinister smile appeared on Song Meng's face, and killing intent flashed in his eyes. He suddenly pointed at the blue disc, and the blue light on it expanded and contracted, suddenly shooting out countless thin blue threads that attacked the Black Fiend Sect disciples.

Upon witnessing such a horrifying scene, the Black Fiend Sect disciples below were instantly terrified and immediately unleashed their respective defensive artifacts or combat protective spells in an attempt to withstand the attacks of these blue threads.

However, an attack launched by a Foundation Establishment cultivator is not so easy to defend against. Most of the Black Fiend Sect disciples who were not strong enough were riddled with holes by the blue silk. Some of them managed to protect their vital organs, but their limbs and other parts were still pierced through.

For a moment, screams filled the air, echoing throughout the cold palace.

"This must be Junior Brother Song's 'Ten Thousand Threads Under Heaven,' truly extraordinary!"

Upon seeing this move, one of Chen Qiaoqian's senior brothers couldn't help but sincerely praise it, which made Song Meng's face show a hint of pride.

The group landed calmly in front of the Cold Palace gate. The remaining Black Fiend Sect disciples who had miraculously survived were now terrified and dared not try to stop them.

Just as Liu Jing was leading Li Yunfan and the others to enter the Cold Palace, an extremely cold voice suddenly came from inside the Cold Palace.

"Activate the Four Fiends Formation to trap them inside."

Immediately afterwards, a white figure emanating a hazy, chilling aura appeared at the gate in the blink of an eye, looking at the eight people who had intruded into the place with a mixture of shock and anger.

Upon seeing that the newcomer possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation, Liu Jing immediately unleashed two beams of silver light at the opponent without a word. Seeing this, the others, without needing Liu Jing to give any orders, all revealed their magical weapons and attacked the opponent together.

However, at that moment, everyone's vision suddenly blurred, and then they felt dizzy. When they could see clearly again, they found that they had arrived in a snowy and icy place.

Looking at the white expanse around them, Liu Jing and the others were shocked to find that the white figure and the remaining Black Fiend Sect disciples were nowhere to be seen.

"How dare you kill our disciples! Now you'd better stay obediently within our sect's protective formation!"

The chilling voice was elusive, as if it came from all directions.

"Formation? Does anyone here understand the art of formations? We'd better break out of this formation quickly, otherwise we'll be in trouble once the sect leader comes out of seclusion and the three Blood Servants gather!" Liu Jing said with a slight frown.

"I do know a bit about formations, but I haven't studied this formation, so I don't know how to break it..." Chen Qiaoqian's senior sister said hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, the others all looked rather grim. They never expected that their group of ten Foundation Establishment cultivators would be trapped in the enemy's formation.

"This is troublesome. Do we have to use brute force to break the formation?" Liu Jing frowned and murmured reluctantly.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to break a formation: one is to break the formation normally using deciphering methods, and the other is to forcefully break the formation by brute force.

None of them know how to break the formation, so they can only use brute force. However, this will consume a lot of their spiritual energy, and even if they succeed in breaking the formation, the subsequent battle will be very disadvantageous for them.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, somewhat troubled about how to break the formation, Li Yunfan suddenly spoke up.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, Junior Brother Han and I have found a weakness in this formation. As long as we attack this spot together, we can break the formation without expending much spiritual energy!"
