Chapter 267: Lu Yang! Come Out!

The sun set behind the western mountains; by the time Miao Yin noticed something was wrong, the distant sun had already completely descended, and the starry sky hung above her head.

"Suo Huan, Daoist friend?"

Miao Yin turned to look at Suo Huan beside her, only to discover that the other party had, at some unknown moment, begun manipulating the formation, laying out formation patterns one by one.

What is he doing?

Before True Person Miao Yin could react, she saw a signal flare rise into the sky far away, exploding into a burst of brilliant fireworks, accompanied by shouts.

"Found it!"

"Found them!"

The rising and falling shouts were like invisible giant waves, overwhelming and unmasked, while at the same time, the starry sky above blazed with light at that very moment.

The next second, True Person Miao Yin felt the ground tremble slightly; she almost instinctively tried to take flight on her escape light, but just then, rays of blood qi shot skyward from all around, connecting with the starry sky. In an instant, invisible pressure descended, forcibly extinguishing her escape light!

"Something's wrong! We're surrounded!"

True Person Miao Yin's pupils instantly contracted. Finally, she understood everything: "Duanmu Yuan Tu... he actually intends to kill me? Did he summon all of these?"

Boom!

Soon, the slight trembling of the ground turned into violent thunder. True Person Miao Yin could not even float in the air; she could only leap onto a large tree and gaze from afar. She saw the distant horizon gradually darken, then rapidly solidify into a black wave that surged toward her, covering the sky and earth!

For the first time, True Person Miao Yin felt a sense of shock regarding "numbers."

Thinking of this, she immediately turned to look at Suo Huan, only to see that he had already set up the formation and stepped into the array wreathed in brilliant light.

"This is... a teleportation array?"

True Person Miao Yin's face instantly lit up with joy. She quickly swept aside the hair from her forehead, her beautiful eyes shimmering, and walked briskly toward Suo Huan: "Daoist friend is truly prepared for a rainy day..."

However, what responded to her was Suo Huan's cold gaze.

"Goodbye."

The next second, the brilliant light vanished, Suo Huan's figure disappeared instantly, and the formation, stripped of the support of a Great True Person's status, also lost its proper radiance.

True Person Miao Yin's smile froze completely on her beautiful face. Looking around again, an unprecedented sense of panic finally surged in her heart. This was a feeling she had not experienced since becoming Master Chongguang's consort, and it made her involuntarily clench her silver teeth.

'If Master Chongguang were still here...'

Thinking of this, her resentment toward Master Chongguang rose another level, but soon she cast aside these distracting thoughts and turned to examine the surrounding environment.

"Fortunately, I was secluding myself in the mountainous region."

Although she had not anticipated such a large scale, True Person Miao Yin had not failed to consider the possibility of being discovered by the Wan Wu Jie army and subsequently besieged.

Therefore, she had specifically chosen the mountainous area.

In this type of terrain, with numerous Lin Mu, it was very suitable for guerrilla warfare. Being alone within it, breaking out of the army's encirclement would not be difficult.

However, she soon discovered something was wrong.

Because these surrounding armies, with every step forward, were gnawing on everything around them: tree bark, grass roots, even the soil, they were eating it all.

Before them lay the dense mountain forests.

Behind them stretched the open wilderness.

Even with True Person Miao Yin's knowledge, she was now stunned speechless. These were not humans at all! They were a swarm of locusts in human form, wreaking havoc on a massive scale!

"Lu Yang... how did he do this?"

True Person Miao Yin had no time to think further, for the army had already advanced to surround her, and the soldiers at the very front had already spotted her presence.

"It's that person!"

"That is the otherworldly heavenly demon! The Immortal Master has ordered the execution of the otherworldly heavenly demon!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The mountain-shaking, sea-tsunami-like figures, accompanied by a crowd of frenzied soldiers, began their charge. A massive force of fate stars crashed down upon True Person Miao Yin.

Under this terrible suppression, True Person Miao Yin, who had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, saw her spiritual pressure drop again and again. Finally, she even fell from the position of a Foundation Establishment True Person, retaining not a shred of status, leaving only a body of true energy far surpassing the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation to face tens of thousands of vigorous soldiers alone!

"What a joke..."

True Person Miao Yin gritted her teeth, immediately formed a hand seal for a divine technique, and her magic power, like a bowstring, sent forth a wave of killing sound, instantly slicing apart the soldiers charging at the very front.

"Do you really think I fear you?"

True Person Miao Yin flicked her ten fingers, and vast oceans of magic power poured forth continuously, instantly blooming into flowers of blood amidst the charging crowd.

However, doing so was utterly meaningless.

For she had only killed the first few hundred or thousand charging soldiers, while her internal magic power had already been depleted by one-tenth, forcing her to stop.

Worse still, being within Wan Wu Jie, the spiritual energy was toxic and repelled outsiders. Therefore, unless she could restore her Foundation Establishment cultivation, she could not even breathe in spiritual energy to recover her magic power. Like water without roots, she could only watch helplessly as the tide-like soldiers surged toward her, completely swallowing her!

"This cannot continue!"

"Where is Lu Yang?"

True Person Miao Yin looked around. The suppression of the fate stars was impartial; she had been suppressed into this wretched state, and she did not believe Lu Yang could remain unharmed!

At the same time, on a cliff several thousand meters away from the battlefield.

Lu Yang sat calmly in a tea pavilion, brewing tea, and watched the changes on the battlefield from afar under the protection of over a hundred members of the Personal Guard Army.

"Have Chen Anmin push the eighth column forward three meters."

"Yes."

Lu Yang's orders were quickly transmitted one by one, and the army formation, which had become somewhat disorganized under True Person Miao Yin's assault, was restored to complete order.

Under their siege, True Person Miao Yin no longer resembled the noble lady she had been at the start. Her hair was disheveled, her palace gown stained with blood. She looked at the crowd still surging forward with disbelief, completely unable to understand these madmen. According to her experience, by now they should have been terrified by the killing!

She had killed nearly ten thousand people!

Normally, even the largest army, having had ten thousand people slaughtered so brutally, would have seen its morale collapse long ago. She could have taken advantage of the chaos to escape and fight her way to a path of life.

But these people before her were different.

Their eyes were red, completely unshaken by the deaths of their comrades; instead, they became even more frenzied, continuing to throw themselves forward in waves of attack.

Soon, another half-hour passed.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were left behind once again at the spot; True Person Miao Yin, amidst it all, had exhausted every usable divine ability of her spiritual treasures and magical artifacts.

"How many people have I killed?"

True Person Miao Yin herself felt somewhat bewildered; in the past, she might have been delighted, for the martial artists besieging her now all possessed fate stars.

After slaying them, she could have operated the Qi-Collection Method to strip away the Qi of the Wan Wu Jie, yet now she lacked even the leeway to cast the Qi-Collection Method; she only felt darkness swirling before her eyes, her magic power nearly exhausted, but when she looked up, what met her gaze was still a sea of people.

"The Wu Zu are already in position."

Three hundred thousand elite soldiers of the army had been mostly slain by True Person Miao Yin, yet now, over one hundred thousand Wu Zu had already filled their vacancies.

Seeing this scene, a clear expression of despair finally surfaced on True Person Miao Yin's face.

"Lu Yang! I know it is you!"

"Where are you?"

"Come out!"

True Person Miao Yin finally could not hold back and shouted loudly; what frustrated her most was undoubtedly this—she had not seen Lu Yang from beginning to end!

She also completely failed to understand why Lu Yang would suddenly decide to kill her, and even deploy such a massive formation; it was clearly a long-planned scheme. If it were said that her plan had been exposed, that made no sense either; she was very confident in her concealment of cause and effect, and it was absolutely impossible for Lu Yang to calculate the reason.

Therefore, she could not figure it out at all.

Yet how could Lu Yang meet her? If True Person Miao Yin still had some hidden means, and he revealed himself rashly, would he not be overturned by her?

Thus, True Person Miao Yin's cries were destined to receive no response.
