Chapter 408: Chapter 51 Mengshan True Person (1/3)

Although An Jing had decided to enter the city, he would not recklessly rush in—now was the time of Demon Beast attacks, and getting too close carelessly meant not only facing the hoard of demon beasts but also getting blown away by the residual forces of the Purple Mansion Great Formation.

However, An Jing was not in a hurry, for he knew clearly that a mere Demon King of the Purple Mansion, even with the caliber of a True Spirit like the Three-legged Golden Crow, could not possibly conquer Chonggang Town.

Not to mention that the Purple Mansion Great Formation currently lacked the power to attack, its defenses were still more than sufficient, and with Golden Core True Lords stationed in Xuanye City, any one of them could suppress this True Spirit with one hand.

Even if all the Golden Core True Lords were out on business, and the Purple Mansion True Spirit took this opportunity to attack, theoretically, apart from the Purple Mansion Great Formation, there were also Guardian True Persons in Chonggang Town.

These Guardian True Persons usually meditated in Xuanye City and only appeared in major events.

Now was the time of such a major event.

At this moment, Chonggang Town was covered by a heaven-shrouding, pitch-black smoke and dust, with numerous golden sparks and arcs of electricity flickering within, sketching intricate Formation Patterns and conveying an unbreakable aura.

A good Formation is versatile in both offense and defense. This was the defensive mode of the Purple Mansion Great Formation, which would swallow darkly any fire crow formation that tried to penetrate it, never to fly out again.

Even if the Golden Crow attempted to pierce through with Supreme Yang Fire, it could only create one or two narrow openings and would be worn out halfway through.

Upon seeing its prolonged attack failing, that Golden Crow chose to charge in its true form.

With blazing red flames lighting up its eyes and its beak full of fine, sharp teeth wide open, it let out a long cry—the Golden Crow vibrated its wings, a dazzling totem pattern like the sun shining brightly on its back and wings, featuring ten suns shining simultaneously, scorching heaven and earth.

In that instant, even the temperature in An Jing’s area rose rapidly, and the water on the ground started to steam heavily, hot enough to scald the fur off ordinary wild beasts.

Basing on this Formation Pattern, this Golden Crow gathered all the force of the demon formation constructed by the fire and ash crows into itself, transforming the entire bird into a blazing living sun, carrying a brilliant scar, and with a roaring blast, it plummeted directly from the sky toward Chonggang Town.

A golden line fell to the earth, splitting the cloud, mist, and the world in two.

"Avoid!" "—Squeak squeak!!!"

The silver squirrel emitted an excruciatingly shrill scream before fainting, while An Jing also immediately stomped the ground, forcibly creating a large pit to take cover in.

At that moment, a tidal wave-like shockwave spread out in an overlapping concentric manner, while the atmosphere also suddenly expanded into a large semicircular surface, with a thin veil-like pale golden shock cloud slowly rising at its top, even piercing through the dense clouds in the sky, revealing behind it the chaotic, frenzied, rapidly spinning stars.

Though An Jing could not see what was happening on Chonggang Town’s side, he did see the stars in the sky—frankly, this was definitely an extremely important clue, likely even revealing some of the current truths of Tianyuan Realm, but now was not the time. An Jing could only memorize the scene of the chaotic, frenzied stars, and as the shockwave subsided, he poked his head out to look toward Chonggang Town.

Chonggang Town was completely unharmed.

Because, amidst the overly intense golden-red flames, there stood a figure, unknown since when, radiating with dark brown iron sand, forming an impregnable barrier, while the earth under his feet also surged up with endless mud and rocks, covering the already battered walls of Chonggang Town.

Transformed into a sun, the Three-legged Golden Crow was firmly countered by the six Formation Flags he manipulated, even having momentum to harness the Earth Vein’s power to suppress it.

Although in the next instant, the Three-legged Golden Crow broke through the encirclement of the Formation Flags with a piercing screech, that potentially town-destroying strike was flawlessly blocked.

The Formation Flags ahead retracted to the side, orbiting and rotating as if they were small stars surrounding a large star. The True Person did not pursue but loudly declared, "I am Mengshan, the Guardian True Person of Chonggang Town. The residents of Chonggang Town return to your homes immediately. Any injuries or deaths incurred are your own responsibility!"

After he finished speaking, Mengshan waved his hand, and six iron-brown Formation Flags once again flew in all directions, reinforcing the Great Formation of Chonggang Town on its existing base within a few breaths, causing the originally damaged surface of the walls to gleam like a steel mirror.

He then seated himself at the center of the Great Formation on a seat formed from iron sand, facing the Three-legged Golden Crow that was continually circling Chonggang Town, tracing golden arcs in the distance.

"Now is the moment."

An Jing glanced and knew the time to enter the city had come. He immediately summoned Tengshuang White, activated the Protective Formation Disk, and fortified himself with various talismans, then he sped straight towards the city.

Mengshan naturally noticed this sudden figure, but he wasn’t surprised because there were many transportation teams coming and going around Chonggang Town. Some people, suddenly attacked by Demon Beasts during a siege, couldn’t return to the city nor dare walk far alone, as being found by the Demon Beasts on the plains meant certain death, so they could only wait in place.

Now, taking advantage of his presence, seizing the time to enter the city was actually a courageous and decisive act. He raised his hand, and the Great Formation specifically opened a path of life for An Jing, allowing him a straight entry into the city.

"This time, I’m quite lucky."

An Jing smoothly entered the city, neither attacked by Demon Beasts nor hindered by the Great Formation. He was somewhat surprised in his heart, but perhaps this was the result of bravery — if he had not dared enter the city, he might very well have been attacked by the furious flock of Demon Beasts blocked by the True Lords of the Purple Mansion. It’s hard to tell where fortune and misfortune lie.

Now, many houses and storages within Chonggang Town had collapsed, the Golden Crow’s summoned fiery meteorites fell on the streets, and even solidified into various bizarrely shaped carbon blocks of flame, burning fiercely and releasing toxic black smoke. Not a single person could be seen on the roads, only many Puppets were fighting the fire.

"After this disaster, it seems we can acquire quite a few damaged, inexpensive second-hand Puppets — Linjiang City is indeed fortunate."

An Jing quickly had this thought, but he sped up, driving Tengshuang White to his storage location.

It must be said, besides always facing calamities, Heavenly Mandate’s luck was quite good — the surrounding circle of warehouses were more or less attacked by the flock of Demons, hit by meteorites, or set ablaze, while An Jing’s warehouse only had its entrance smashed, overall it was merely singed around the edges and didn’t suffer any substantial damage.

"Huo Qing should be inside."

An Jing used his True Spirit Eye and scanned. Initially, he didn’t see anyone and thought Huo Qing was not in Chonggang Town and had luckily managed to return to Xuanye City to meet Iron Hand.

But soon, he noticed that the Water Mirror in Huo Qing’s workshop was still operating, the books weren’t even closed — clearly this was the result of a hasty attack. He hadn’t seen Huo Qing because he had hidden in a Concealment Formation.

"Huo Qing, are you alright?"

An Jing pushed open the collapsed iron wall at the entrance, entered the warehouse, and shouted loudly, "Are you hurt? I have brought medicine if you are!"

"I’m fine, I’m fine!"

At first, Huo Qing was somewhat confused, not knowing who the visitor was, but after hearing the voice, he immediately emerged from the underground Concealment Array, relieved yet somewhat incredulous, "An Jing, you’ve actually come — were you in the town during the attack?"

"Not at all, I entered the city only after True Person Mengshan appeared."

An Jing laughed heartily and stepped forward to give Huo Qing a hug. While hugging, Huo Qing froze for a moment — how could he not know the risk of An Jing entering the city? It was a completely unnecessary act!

"This, this..."

He didn’t know what to say for a moment, but An Jing simply waved his hand, he still had Divine Skill Tokens in his hands, certainly not in mortal danger, "It’s not a big deal... but you, it’s really incredible."

At that moment, An Jing stepped back in surprise, observing Huo Qing who did not seem like the usual Array Master with a tough body, "How many days have it been? Your Imperial Heaven Method has actually achieved great success?"
