Chapter 410: Forming a Formation to Meet the Enemy
Chapter 410: Forming a Formation to Meet the Enemy
Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo were stunned and shocked.
Are the eight disciples so powerful?
It seems that the foundation of this Taoist tradition is indeed extraordinary.
"By the way, now that you're back, where are the other brothers and sisters?"
Zhao Xiruo asked curiously.
Liu Yanran smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "They have a mission and followed Elder Ouyang to the Forest of Myriad Beasts. I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with the qualifying round, so this qualifying round depends on us."
"Forest of Beasts?"
Yun Chen couldn't help but feel moved.
Could it be that he went to rescue Murong Xue?
"Yes, we just received the news yesterday. Logically speaking, something as important as the qualifying competition should be put aside, even if it's a big deal... I don't know what the mission is." Liu Yanran frowned in confusion.
Yun Chen understood.
It seems that the sect didn't tell anyone else about going to the Forest of Beasts to rescue people?
But it’s right to think about it.
According to their previous speculation, there was a Japanese traitor within the Taoist Alliance.
If the news leaks out, it will be even more difficult to save people.
"Why worry about all that? Our mission is to participate in the qualifying rounds and get a good ranking...!"
Yun Chen smiled and waved his hand to change the subject.
Shen Nan nodded in agreement: "That's right..."
At this moment, Elder Lei's voice suddenly rang out.
"Everyone, you are all the elite of our Divine Thunder Palace. This qualifying competition concerns the reputation of our Divine Thunder Palace, and even more so, your future. In the absence of the Sect Master, you must strive even harder to enhance our palace's prestige! I hope everyone can demonstrate their full potential this time and maintain our Divine Thunder Palace's reputation as the number one sect!"
As soon as the words fell, the square, which was originally filled with whispers, suddenly became quiet.
Elder Lei looked at everyone and smiled. Without saying any more nonsense, he waved his hand and spoke in a voice like a bell.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
As he finished speaking, a huge lightning-patterned flying boat slowly rose into the air from the square.
The flying boat is extremely spacious, about ten meters long and more than two meters high.
Its surface is covered with complex and mysterious inscriptions that gleam with silver light. It looks extremely visually impactful and exudes a chilling wave of power.
Sixteen crystals of different colors were suspended in front of the flying boat.
The flying boat was surrounded by a layer of light blue spiritual mist, and the entire hull was shrouded in a blue halo, which looked particularly beautiful.
Yun Chen stood at the stern, looking around, his eyes filled with intense interest, and he kept clicking his tongue, "What a luxury..."
"Haha, Junior Brother Yunchen, if you like, I can also give you one."
Shen Nan looked at Yun Chen with a half-smile: "But with your current cultivation level, I'm afraid you can't control a magical weapon of this level."
"It doesn't matter. There will always be a time when I can control it." Yun Chen smiled and waved his hand, his eyes gleaming: "Thank you, Brother Shen."
So what if he can't control it?
You can give it to Ruoruo.
This kind of flying boat simply needs spiritual power to drive it. His cultivation level cannot meet the needs of the flying boat, but that doesn't mean Ruoruo can't do it.
After all, she has the Hunyuan Pearl in her hand. If she can't do it, can the Hunyuan Pearl also do it?
If I could get this thing and bring it to the secular world, wouldn't it be cooler than an airplane?
The corners of Shen Nan's mouth twitched, and his expression returned to its previous coldness.
"You should wait until you win the qualifying round."
Liu Yanran laughed immediately after hearing this.
"Hahahaha...! Senior Brother Shen, you get embarrassed sometimes too."
"Hmph!" Shen Nan snorted coldly, turned his head away and ignored them.
Yun Chen was a little confused: "Senior Sister Liu, what happened to him?"
Liu Yanran smiled and explained, "This flying boat is worth a million spirit stones. Not to mention giving it to you, Senior Brother Shen can't even afford it himself..."
Yun Chen: “…”
So you are just teasing me, right?
Shen Nan felt embarrassed and immediately glared at Liu Yanran in anger, shouting, "Liu Yanran, don't think that you can act recklessly just because Second Senior Sister is protecting you."
"cut!"
Liu Yanran curled her lips and sneered disdainfully: "I am unscrupulous, so what?"
"are you mad at me!"
Shen Nan was so angry that he wanted to beat Liu Yanran up immediately, but when he thought of the fierce look of his second senior sister, he forced himself to hold back.
"I don't know anything about you."
Finally, he snorted coldly... and walked towards the deck next to him, no longer paying attention to her.
Looking at the two of them, Zhao Xiruo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Yun Chen's mouth twitched as he tried hard to suppress his smile.
"I won't argue with you." Liu Yanran snorted coldly and ignored him, but looked at Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo beside her.
"Junior Brother Yun, Junior Sister...how are you? Are you confident about this qualifying round? I heard that both Taixu Palace and Yuxu Palace have produced many exceptionally talented disciples in this qualifying round, so the competition will probably be very fierce."
"Senior Sister Liu, how did our Shenlei Palace perform in previous qualifying competitions?" Yun Chen asked.
Liu Yanran smiled, a hint of pride between her brows. "Of course they are among the top. However, Taixu Palace has been very strong in recent years, especially their chief disciple Xuan Jingmo. It is said that he has already stepped halfway into the Nascent Soul stage, making him the biggest favorite to win this year."
"However, Yuxu Palace should not be underestimated. I heard that the new disciple, Lu Beiyou, is incredibly talented. He lost to Junior Sister last time, and since Junior Sister is not here this time... I'm afraid he shouldn't be underestimated either."
"Lu Beiyou?"
When Yun Chen heard this name, he was stunned.
Zhao Xiruo was also a little dazed.
It was Lu Beiyou who saved her after she left Qingyun Sect, but unfortunately they turned against each other later.
"Yeah, you know each other?"
Liu Yanran looked at the two of them with some curiosity.
Zhao Xiruo opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly, Elder Lei, who was standing at the front of the flying boat, opened his eyes abruptly, his eyes flashing, and he shouted, "Be careful! There's an ambush!"
Almost at the moment he finished speaking——!
"Om!!"
In the forest below, a murderous aura erupted without warning. Countless inky black beams of light rose from the ground and instantly intertwined in the air to form a huge black net covering an area of several miles!
The runes on the Luowang flickered, emitting an aura of confinement and corrosion, and covered the Thunder Pattern Flying Boat head-on!
"The 'Shadow Soul Binding Formation' of the Japanese Shadow Snake Group!"
Elder Lei was knowledgeable and instantly recognized the origin of this formation.
He roared, and the powerful spiritual power of the Nascent Soul stage burst out without reservation. The lightning patterns on the surface of the flying boat were instantly activated, and the dazzling lightning formed a thick protective shield.
Boom——! !
The black net collided violently with the lightning shield, making a deafening sound. The violent energy shock wave spread out, shaking away the surrounding clouds.
The flying boat shook violently, and the disciples on the boat changed color and hurriedly used their spiritual power to steady themselves.
"Form a formation! Meet the enemy!" Elder Lei shouted.
