Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 81 Dragon Trapping Formation

With a flick of his sleeve, He Yinghua revealed a dark green jade ruler, about half a zhang in size, covered with interwoven runes and shimmering with spiritual light. It was indeed a top-grade magic weapon.

Without a word, Ye Qingyun flicked his arm, and a small bronze cauldron flew out in an instant. It spun around and emitted a blue light, accompanied by a low hum. An ancient and vicissitudes aura instantly spread out, giving people a sense of awe at first glance.

This cauldron was clearly also a top-grade magic weapon, its rank even slightly higher than He Yinghua's dark green jade ruler.

Upon seeing this treasure, He Yinghua's face lit up with joy, and his confidence soared. The other eight Golden Core cultivators also perked up, each taking out different magical treasures such as knives, forks, swords, and halberds, though they were all of medium to low quality.

Fang Tian, ​​Gui Sha, and the others, who were in the distance, showed strange expressions when they saw the small bronze cauldron that Ye Qingyun had summoned. A look of greed flashed in their eyes, but for some reason, they quickly calmed down and did not make a move.

"Fellow Daoists, unleash your full power!" He Yinghua shouted, taking the lead in activating the dark green jade ruler, which shot out and transformed into a large number of dense dark green ruler shadows in mid-air, smashing wildly towards a large array of light screen with astonishing momentum.

After Ye Qingyun infused the bronze cauldron with his magic, it grew rapidly in the wind, eventually becoming a giant ten zhang tall. With a series of deep and powerful rumbling sounds, the cauldron began to spin rapidly, and around it, countless illusory images of ancient cauldrons about a foot in size were emitted. After a deafening roar, it followed the dark green jade ruler and rushed towards the light screen.

Other Golden Core cultivators also frantically unleashed their immense magical power, driving their magical treasures toward the same spot with a deafening roar that shook the surrounding area.

In the sky, all sorts of colorful lights swept wildly, dazzling and magnificent.

A moment later, various magical treasures collided violently with a large array of light screens, and a deafening roar instantly resounded, causing the void to surge and spread in all directions.

Immediately, the entire Daming Mountain began to shake violently, with many cliffs collapsing and crumbling. Roars of beasts and cries of birds echoed from all over Daming Mountain, creating a deafening roar and raising clouds of dust.

In an instant, the majestic mountain, covering tens of thousands of acres, appeared extremely chaotic, as if a pot had been boiled over.

After a long while, when everything had calmed down, the faces of He Yinghua and the other cultivators from the Fire Feather Kingdom had become extremely ugly. Their eyes were fixed on the still impregnable array light screen, and despair had begun to set in.

If the earth-shattering attack just now couldn't break through this great formation in one fell swoop, then even if we could wear it down with subsequent attacks, it would still take at least a month to break through...

But by then, what would be the point of getting out or not? The entire sect and its three factions would probably have already fallen...

"Since you fellow Daoists have already tried it, you should be able to guess what it is. This formation is one of the ten treasures of my Illusion Cloud Sect, the Dragon Trapping Formation."

This formation is derived from an ancient trapping formation. Its power is beyond our imagination. Once trapped in this formation, those below the Nascent Soul stage have no chance of breaking out. Even with continuous attrition, it will take two months.

Since that's the case, what's the point of you all struggling any further? Since you're already here, you might as well stay for a while. The promises you made earlier still stand.

Fang Tian was taken aback by the combined attack from the Fire Feather Kingdom cultivators, especially when he looked at Ye Qingyun with apprehension. However, he quickly calmed down and smiled as he spoke.

"Does the Illusion Cloud Sect really intend to break ties with our Kongsang Sect? Do you think the Kongsang Sect is a small sect without a Nascent Soul senior to oversee it, something you can bully at will?"

He Yinghua's face was ashen as he stared at Fang Tian and spoke each word clearly, his words filled with an overwhelming hatred that anyone could feel.

"If that's your opinion, it's not entirely wrong," Fang Tian sighed and said slowly.

"What did you say!" Upon hearing this, He Yinghua's chest heaved violently, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he was no longer the refined scholar he once was. The other party was really going too far!

"As you all know, several years ago, more than ten Nascent Soul seniors from Qingzhou went to the Dark Forest to do something extremely important."

Several months ago, I received a secret message from the sect's patriarch that a group of seniors had encountered an accident in the Dark Forest. Unfortunately, your Kongsang Sect's patriarch, Senior Gu, perished in that accident.

As for your Supreme Elder, Senior Lingluo—no, she should now be called Fairy Lingluo—she was also severely injured in that accident, and her cultivation level has fallen to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. According to the judgment of other Nascent Soul seniors, Fairy Lingluo will probably never be able to recover to the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime.

Furthermore, I must remind you, everyone knows what the cultivation world is like. What happens when a cultivator only has the cultivation of a Golden Core but possesses the physical attributes of a Nascent Soul cultivator? I don't need to elaborate, do I?" Fang Tian spoke coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.

Upon hearing this, the minds of the cultivators from the Fire Feather Kingdom instantly went blank. They all opened their mouths wide, looking incredulous, and fear accompanied their expressions.

Even on the side of the vassal state, everyone was shocked, their expressions showing disbelief. Only Ghost Cutter stood there with his hands behind his back, expressionless, clearly already aware of the matter.

"Nonsense! How could a Nascent Soul cultivator perish! What is your purpose in spouting such nonsense here?" He Yinghua roared, his eyes bloodshot, pointing a finger at Fang Tian.

"Hmph! Although I don't quite believe this either, Sect Leader He, you might as well think about it. Even if your Kongsang Sect's two Nascent Soul seniors were both crippled, or even if there was still one of them, would my Huanyun Sect have done what we have done today?"

Let me tell you, the Illusion Cloud Sect and the Burial Ghost Gate have already secretly made an agreement to jointly attack your Fire Feather Kingdom!

After this battle, the Burial Ghost Gate will receive a portion of the resources from the cultivation world of the Fire Feather Kingdom. As for the land and population, they will be incorporated into our Hengshui Kingdom. In other words, from now on, the Fire Feather Kingdom will be wiped out from this world!

As for the royal family of the Fire Feather Kingdom, if they know what's good for them and obey orders, they will be granted the title of a regional lord and enjoy wealth and honor forever.

As for you cultivators who originally belonged to the Fire Feather Kingdom, if you are willing to surrender, you will be incorporated into my Illusion Cloud Sect. Golden Core elders will still be elders, and Foundation Establishment deacons will still be deacons. Your treatment will be no less than before. But if you resist, the only result will be death!

A group of Nascent Soul seniors are currently returning from the Dark Forest. I believe the other seniors will not be dissatisfied with the decision of the Illusion Cloud Sect. At most, in about twenty days, the ancestor of my Illusion Cloud Sect and the other Supreme Elders will arrive here.

"You don't need to express your opinions immediately. You can think it over carefully and make a decision later." Fang Tian snorted coldly and immediately launched into a long speech, using both soft and hard tactics.

These words caused a stir on both the side of the Fence Kingdom and the side of the Fire Feather Kingdom, but soon they quieted down. Everyone's eyes began to gleam as they pondered their own thoughts.

"Fellow Daoists, do not listen to this man's nonsense. Regardless of whether it is true or false, we must get out first. How can we, as Golden Core cultivators, be threatened by others!"

He Yinghua was already pale as a ghost. He had already agreed with the other party's words in his heart, but with the pride of a Golden Core cultivator, he was unwilling to bow his head. Moreover, deep down he still held a sliver of hope that the two seniors were safe and sound...

It's not surprising that He Yinghua had this thought. What kind of existence is a Nascent Soul cultivator? How could they perish so easily!

However, as soon as He Yinghua spoke, apart from Ye Qingyun who remained calm, all the other Golden Core cultivators avoided eye contact, either lowering their heads or looking away, unwilling to meet his gaze.

In the minds of the three Golden Core cultivators, since the overall situation was already settled, why struggle? They were originally small sects, and even without this incident, they would still be dependent on the Kongsang Sect and follow its lead. For them, it didn't matter who they depended on, so there was no need to fight desperately.

Moreover, this time it's not about attaching oneself to the sect, but about joining the Illusion Cloud Sect. This way, one becomes an elder of a major sect, with a status and treatment far superior to what one would expect. It seems like a win-win situation. Rather than calling this battle a disaster, it's more like a tremendous opportunity.

The three elders of Kongsang Sect, Qingmu, Tieyuan, and Cuiqi, shared similar thoughts with the other three sects, and thus remained silent.

"Never mind..."

Upon seeing this scene, He Yinghua could easily understand the thoughts of the others. A strong sense of grief and indignation appeared on his face. After letting out a long sigh, he put away the dark green jade ruler in his hand and gave up the idea of ​​resistance.

"Haha, Sect Leader He, no, Brother He, this is absolutely a wise move. From now on, we will be fellow disciples. I have offended you before, and I will definitely make amends with great courtesy in the future, haha..."

Upon seeing this, Fang Tian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately burst into laughter. If the other side were to struggle in its death throes, it wouldn't be so easy for them to succeed. Perhaps some of their own people would even perish. With the balance of power shifting, it would be a bit of a letdown.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, the Ancestor specifically mentioned you in his secret message. Even the Ancestor praised the Ye family's methods for cultivating and controlling magical beasts. If the Ye family is willing to join the Illusion Cloud Sect, our sect will certainly treat you generously. I am here to vouch for you!"

Immediately afterwards, Fang Tian spoke to Ye Qingyun in a gentle manner, even more so than he had to He Yinghua, clearly intending to win him over.

"In that case, thank you very much, Sect Master Fangtian." Ye Qingyun's expression was calm. He smiled slightly, clasped his hands in a bow, but as he bowed, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Haha, Brother Ye, no need to be so polite, wait..." Fang Tian laughed heartily upon hearing this, and was about to say something more when suddenly his heart skipped a beat, his face changed drastically, and he realized something was wrong!

Ye Qingyun let out a cold snort, flicked his sleeve, and a dark shadow flashed into existence.

The black shadow vanished, transforming into a demonic beast with a lion's head, a tiger's body, and two wings. This beast was three zhang long, entirely black, with a mouthful of fangs, bloodshot and ferocious eyes, and claws as sharp as weapons, with barbs gleaming coldly. An extremely terrifying aura instantly spread out, permeating all directions.
