Chapter 118: Joining the Battle

Inside the Forbidden Land.

After killing the remaining three guards, Wang Jianqiang and Qiu Shuang left the Yin Yang Hall and found Jia Zhengjing and the other three.

Just as they were preparing to leave the Forbidden Land, the Communication Talisman at Wang Jianqiang's waist suddenly lit up, and a voice entered his mind.

Upon hearing this message, Wang Jianqiang's expression changed.

"What is it?"

Noticing the change in Wang Jianqiang's expression, Qiu Shuang could not help but ask.

"The situation is not looking good."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Qiu Shuang, Jia Zhengjing, and the others with a grave expression, "It seems our plan is about to fail."

"Elder Shangguan just sent me a message, telling us to flee the sect immediately."

As soon as Wang Jianqiang spoke, Qiu Shuang and the others were startled, then showed expressions of confusion.

"The Yin Yang Hall has clearly already been destroyed, why did the plan still not succeed?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Destroying the Yin Yang Hall was only one part of the plan; killing the Hehuan Ancestor was the ultimate goal. I suspect some unsolvable complication must have arisen over there."

"Don't waste any more time. The transmission from over there was very urgent; they are likely in the middle of fleeing as well. For safety's sake, we must leave the sect as soon as possible."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Qiu Shuang and the others were shocked and said no more.

Just as Wang Jianqiang and the others were about to leave the Forbidden Land, a Sky Screen suddenly appeared, shrouding the entire Hehuan Sect.

Wang Jianqiang's movements stalled.

"This is!"

He looked up at the Sky Screen in the air, feeling the terrifying power emanating from it, and his expression turned to shock.

"This is the Protective Sect Array!"

Beside him, Qiu Shuang spoke with an ugly expression.

The Protective Sect Array!

Hearing these four words, Wang Jianqiang's expression also turned ugly.

Once the Protective Sect Array is activated, the Hehuan Sect will be completely isolated from the outside world.

As long as the array does not dissipate, no one can enter or leave.

In other words, they were trapped inside the sect!

"It's over!"

Jia Zhengjing and the others also realized the severity of the situation, and their faces turned pale.

Qiu Shuang looked at Wang Jianqiang, "What do we do now?"

"There is nothing we can do, we can only wait."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "The Hehuan Ancestor would not activate the Protective Sect Array just for the sake of us few small fry."

"Elder Shangguan, Elder Yan, and Elder Dong should all be trapped within the sect."

"If they can think of a way to escape, we might still have a chance to leave."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Qiu Shuang and the others sighed.

Wang Jianqiang was right.

The Protective Sect Array was not something they could influence.

The only plan now was to wait and see what happens; perhaps a miracle might occur.

The six of them watched the direction from which the combat fluctuations were coming, waiting silently.

A moment later.

An invisible force of prohibition suddenly shrouded the entire sect.

The Spiritual Power and Soul Power within their bodies were instantly sealed and fell completely silent.

Qiu Shuang and Jia Zhengjing and the others looked at each other and could not help but smile bitterly.

It seemed a miracle would not happen after all.

The emergence of this prohibition force was undoubtedly adding frost to snow.

It was as if they had been completely sentenced to death.

Compared to the despair of the five, Wang Jianqiang's eyes, however, lit up instead.

"A miracle..."

"It seems to have appeared!"

After the Jade Order shattered.

A force of prohibition acting upon Spiritual Power and Soul Power instantly shrouded the entire Hehuan Sect.

From the Outer Sect Disciples at the Qi Refining stage down to the Ancestor-level higher-ups at the Nascent Soul Stage, not one could resist.

The Spiritual Power and Soul Power of everyone in the sect were completely sealed.

"Oh no!"

Sensing the silence of their Spiritual Power and Soul Power, Lin Xueran, Shangguan Yurou, and the other three all had their expressions change.

"Has anyone among you practiced a Body Refining Technique?" Lin Xueran looked at Shangguan Yurou.

Shangguan Yurou shook her head with a bitter smile.

Seeing this, Lin Xueran's heart sank.

Although the prohibition force of the Spirit Sealing Array was an indiscriminate attack and the Hehuan Ancestor's power was also sealed,

the opponent was, after all, a Nascent Soul Stage Perfection cultivator.

In a situation where no one had practiced a Body Refining Technique, the opponent's physique was far stronger than theirs.

In this way, the advantage they had previously established vanished in an instant, turning into a disadvantage instead!

Seeing the change in the expressions of the five, Ancestor Hehuan sneered and waved his hand toward Si Tianyong and Sun Yueling.

"Kill them for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them charged out simultaneously.

Lin Xueran and Shangguan Yurou's expressions tightened; they exchanged a glance and simultaneously moved to intercept Ancestor Hehuan.

"Yutong, come and help too!"

As she charged out, Lin Xueran's grave voice reached Mu Yutong's ears.

Mu Yutong followed without the slightest hesitation.

Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan moved to intercept Si Tianyong and Sun Yueling, respectively.

Nascent Soul Cultivators are powerful beings who have survived the Thunder Tribulation; their physical bodies, Spiritual Power, and even their Soul strength have all been baptized by the Thunder Tribulation.

Even if they have never practiced a Body Refining Technique, the physique of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is incomparably powerful.

A Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator can even suppress a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator fighting at full strength using only their physical body.

From Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, although the increase in physical strength is not as exaggerated as when surviving the Thunder Tribulation, the extent of the improvement is still considerable.

By the time they reach the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection level, they can defeat an ordinary Golden Core Stage Perfection cultivator using only their physical strength.

Even though everyone's Spiritual Power is currently completely sealed, the battle remains incomparably intense.

Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan are having a relatively easy time dealing with Si Tianyong and Sun Yueling, who are at the same level.

Lin Xueran, Shangguan Yurou, and Mu Yutong, fighting together against Ancestor Hehuan, not only failed to gain the upper hand but were instead completely suppressed by Ancestor Hehuan.

They were beaten into a steady retreat.

At the same time.

Six figures had already crossed the Forbidden Land and arrived at this battlefield.

Watching the figures fighting in the distance, Wang Jianqiang frowned.

The situation looked very grim.

He looked back at Qiu Shuang and the others, "You wait here, I'm going to help!"

As soon as Wang Jianqiang's words came out, Qiu Shuang and the others were dumbfounded.

After the Spirit Sealing Array appeared, Wang Jianqiang had suddenly suggested coming to the battlefield to observe.

They hadn't thought much of it, assuming Wang Jianqiang simply wanted to understand the state of the battle.

They hadn't expected his idea to be so fierce and reckless.

"Captain Wang, you aren't joking, are you?"

Jia Zhengjing, Yang Wei, Li Ya, and Zhang Hubiao stared at Wang Jianqiang with wide eyes.

Qiu Shuang couldn't help but grab Wang Jianqiang, "Don't be impulsive. We can just watch from here; if you go, you won't be able to help and will only be throwing your life away for nothing!"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, pushed away Qiu Shuang's hand, and dashed toward the battlefield.

The situation was critical, and he had no time to explain.

"Add all Cultivation Points to the Years Sacred Body."

While charging toward the battlefield, he decisively sent a message to the system.

"Ding, Years Sacred Body upgraded, current Spirit Pattern count: 【number】!"

Dense, countless Spirit Patterns sprouted from within his flesh and blood.

Wang Jianqiang's physical strength instantly underwent a leap-like enhancement.

Dharma Heaven and Earth activated!

His body, while running, instantly expanded threefold, and his strength surged along with it to the power of 【number】 Dao Spirit Pattern.

Afterward, he triggered the Pure Yang Power!

His strength surged again.

It reached the power of 【number】 Dao Spirit Pattern!

Like an peerless long spear, he descended from the sky and ferociously charged into the battlefield.
