Chapter 429: Ten Thousand Swords Unite

Suddenly, a massive white formation totem rose from the ground of the ruined city, emitting an extremely intense formation radiance.

Wei Yueze saw this and furrowed his brows slightly.

He immediately sensed the location of the one casting the formation, and in an instant he turned into a wisp of black smoke, flashing away.

"He went to look for Xiao Liu!" Qian Yunzhou's expression tightened slightly.

"Watch them," Xie Zixu said, then headed straight toward the direction where Wei Yueze had flashed away.

Qian Yunzhou hadn't recovered his composure when he saw Xie Zixu vanish before his eyes.

"Heh." He sneered.

Everyone in the ruined city saw the fireworks bloom, exchanged glances, and waited in place.

As the formation totem emerged from the ground, they were instantly teleported away, ending up on the city wall.

Including Qian Yunzhou, Bian Chen, and Yu Jing.

Feng Xuanji felt a shock in her heart upon seeing Bian Chen so gravely wounded, and she hurried to heal him.

Meanwhile, Ao Jiayu summoned a physician disciple to heal Yu Jing.

After taking the Healing Wound Pill, Qian Yunzhou raised his hand to stop the physician disciple from approaching, "No need."

Qian Yunzhou spoke: "Cultivators whose cultivation is below the Nascent Soul Realm, leave this place immediately and head to the Skyfire Wasteland. Also, carry the wounded away."

With those words, everyone fell silent, their gazes inevitably turning toward the ruined city now shrouded by the formation totem.

"Quick!" Ao Jiayu said in a deep voice.

At the sound of her urging, numerous Cultivators raised their hands in salute and said, "From now on we entrust it to you."

Bian Chen and Yu Jing were gravely injured and could no longer fight, so they could only go to the Skyfire Wasteland with the many young Cultivators.

Before departing, Bian Chen, his face pallid, asked Feng Xuanji, "Where is Yun Lan? Why haven't we seen her?"

Feng Xuanji's expression faltered slightly, her lips pressed together.

Bian Chen sensed something off in the surrounding atmosphere, an uneasy premonition rose in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Yun Lan seriously injured? Where is she now?"

"Eldest Senior Brother, Yun Lan… is gone."

As soon as Feng Xuanji spoke, tears fell uncontrollably again.

The scorching tears splashed onto the ground.

Hearing that, Bian Chen felt as if struck heavily, his whole being seemed soulless; he opened his mouth but could not utter a single word.

Feng Xuanji raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said to the physician disciple, "Take good care of Eldest Senior Brother; after we leave the Skyfire Secret Realm, I will be deeply grateful."

"Feng Dao‑friend, you're being modest; this is what we ought to do," the physician disciple replied.

Bian Chen seemed to recover a bit; he closed his eyes, tears sliding from the corners, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

"Xuanji, you and Zixu must stay alive."

Feng Xuanji choked out a hoarse "Hmm."

At this moment, Sang Bo said to Ao Jiayu, "Jiayu, are you sure you won't go with us to the Skyfire Wasteland?"

Ao Jiayu looked at his frail appearance and flatly refused, "No."

Sang Bo had already been gravely wounded before; now his wounds were gaping, his breath unstable, appearing extremely feeble.

Sang Bo lowered his lashes, "Then you take care."

Ao Jiayu gave him a faint glance, "Hmm."

Soon, all young Cultivators of low cultivation who were heavily injured left the wall and rushed toward the Skyfire Wasteland region.

On the hundred‑meter‑tall city wall, now only—

Qian Yunzhou.

Feng Xuanji.

Ao Jiayu.

Xiao Zhufeng.

Dongfangxiu.

Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao chuckled lightly, "Now it's Yuan Yao's turn."

And at this moment—

Wei Yueze had already found Yuan Yao and Cang Li.

He saw Yuan Yao's both hands forming a formation seal.

Wei Yueze narrowed his eyes, "What formation do you intend to use against me?"

As he spoke, he thrust a hard palm straight toward Yuan Yao, as if to finish her off completely.

At that moment, a white snow beast materialized out of thin air, leapt, and swiped its claws, abruptly blocking Wei Yueze's attack.

Boom—

With a deafening blast echoing, the impact of the two colliding forces nearly tore the area apart.

Heaven Snow was knocked back several steps, then instead of retreating it surged forward, attacking toward Wei Yueze.

"Overreaching!" Wei Yueze raised his hand to form a seal; in an instant, a space seal shimmering with mysterious light appeared like an invisible giant hand, instantly locking Heaven Snow firmly in mid‑air.

Immediately, countless spatial blades surged toward Heaven Snow!

"Take my spear!"

Cang Li thrust his spear forward, thunderous explosion, the spear tip flashing with immense lightning, charging at Wei Yueze.

Wei Yueze flicked his gaze and blocked Cang Li's attack.

Meanwhile, Heaven Snow struggled against the spatial blades, its body riddled with wounds, blood staining its fur red, like a plum blossom blooming in a pool of blood.

At this moment, a golden‑glowing egg hurtled toward Wei Yueze at astonishing speed.

Wei Yueze frowned slightly.

This is a dragon egg?!

At this moment, the golden egg had already flickered and disappeared; when it reappeared, it was already behind him, rushing to strike him.

Bang!

Wei Yueze staggered from the impact, his body involuntarily leaning forward.

His ashen handsome face showed a hint of vexed anger; he quickly formed seals, then used a space technique to lock the golden egg in midair.

"You are a great tonic." Wei Yueze's voice was icy and sinister, sending chills down one's spine.

Hearing this, the golden egg began to struggle desperately, letting out a desperate cry.

Master, he wants to eat me!!!

Tianxue seized the opportunity, exerting all its strength to finally break free of the space prison's bonds, then fiercely swung a claw toward Wei Yueze.

Swish swish swish!

Wei Yueze raised a hand to block.

Cang Li swiftly flashed forward, thrusting his spear; the spear tip like nine-heavens thunderbolts, bursting forth with fierce silver-purple lightning.

But with a boom, Cang Li was blasted away, his back slamming hard against the city wall.

Just as countless space blades assailed him, a puppet with twelve hands swiftly darted in, embraced Cang Li in its arms, and evaded the blades' attack.

Wei Yueze no longer wanted to continue fighting them.

His gaze fell on a green-clad high-ponytail girl not far away; she had her eyes tightly closed, her hands forming a seal of a formation.

He flickered and instantly arrived before Yuan Yao.

He reached out to strike at Yuan Yao's neck.

But just at this moment—

Yuan Yao suddenly opened her eyes.

A terrifying mental power instantly surged toward Wei Yueze's sea of consciousness.

A stabbing pain came from within Wei Yueze's sea of consciousness, causing his movement to freeze instantly.

Yuan Yao quickly retreated a distance, then directly sent Cang Li into the Yaoguang Space, including Tianxue, the golden egg, and Yuan Batian.

She conjured a Phantom Spirit Sword in her hand; she swiped her left hand across the sword's blade, and in an instant her palm split open, flesh tearing, blood flowing.

She raised the sword to the heavens, then brought it down in a single slash!

"Saint-tier Formation, Myriad Swords Return to One!"
