Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 83 - 83 082 Rift_1

83: Chapter 082 Rift_1 83: Chapter 082 Rift_1 The roaring above Tinghai Lake was incessant, as the disciples from Beast Valley were the ones who had come in the greatest numbers today.

After all, the recruitment of disciples was a matter for Beast Valley.

Disciples who walked the path of Transforming Beasts revealed their animal forms one after another, roaring as they charged toward the No-Phase Sword Sect.

Chi Yang, however, was not the least bit afraid, and with a hearty laugh, he blocked Elder Ge’s attack and shouted, “Fellow cultivators from East Cloud, if you do not show yourselves now, when will you?!”

Outside Qingyuan Mountain, sword lights streaked toward Qingyuan, and on the waters of Elephant Water, light boats drifted downstream.

East Cloud Mountain extended from north to south, with Qingyuan Gate situated at its easternmost point, downstream of Elephant Water.

This was not a sudden attack meant to create havoc; it seemed more like an attempt to spark a war between sects.

“All veins of Qingyuan, disciples above the Intention Orifices Realm should leave half their number to activate the Mountain Protection Array, while the rest of the disciples should meet the enemy at Tinghai Lake!” The voice of Feng Yi Ju echoed in the Palace of Longevity.

“Disciples below the Intention Orifices Realm should immediately take refuge in the various elders’ abodes!”

No sect’s formations consisted of just one; each vein had an independent Mountain Protection Array guarding its own branch.

Additionally, each elder’s abode had its own array for protection.

If an enemy were to truly breach a sect’s territory, the nature of the conflict would be no different from that of a mundane street brawl.

Beast roars emerged as other elders from Beast Valley, like Elder Ge, occupied their respective abodes in their beast forms, declaring themselves kings and ancestors, commanding their beast hordes to meet the enemy at Elephant Water.

Su He did not act rashly.

With his level of Tao cultivation and status, not causing trouble for everyone was the greatest help he could offer.

Long Min and Chou Nu’er swiftly appeared by his side, guarding him on the left and right.

Above Longevity Island, Qingyuan disciples’ Immortal Swords emerged from their magic artifacts, poised in the air, guarding against any guests who had come to observe the ceremony on the island.

Among the guests, an ignorant youngster unsatisfiedly hummed, “Hey!

My ancestor and your Elder Ge are good friends, and that’s why we came.

If there are enemies, just fight them.

Why target us?”

“Silence!

Do not speak nonsense!” The ancestor’s face changed as he rebuked the child.

At the same time, he explained, “The fact that No-Phase Sword Sect, accompanied by so many sects from East Cloud, could approach us without anyone sensing it, means someone must have sabotaged our external senses.

It’s very likely that the saboteur is hiding among us, so it’s only appropriate for Qingyuan Gate to be cautious.”

His voice was loud, and rather than explaining to the child, it was more about clarifying the situation to everyone on Longevity Island.

He, who shared an unbreakable bond with Elder Ge, found it inconvenient to intervene and help at the moment, but calming the guests on Longevity Island was still within his capability.

While he explained, he strained to search among the crowd.

To affect everyone at once, it was almost certain that sabotage had been done on the Qingyuan Gate Mountain Protection Formation.

Chi Yang from No-Phase Sword Sect, originating from Qingyuan Gate and a disciple of the previous master, inevitably knew a fair bit about the Qingyuan Gate Mountain Protection Formation.

Even if he betrayed them and Qingyuan Gate changed their array, the mountains and waters remained the same, and any new array was bound to have a connection to the old one.

The mole was very likely from the No-Phase Sword Sect.

“Many thanks to Brother Qu, I will surely visit you to apologize after this is over,” Elder Ge’s voice rang out.

Promptly, Su He also received a voice transmission from Elder Ge, “Do not engage in the battle, stay hidden!”

Brother Qu laughed and scolded, “What apology do I need from you?

Just focus on confronting the enemy.”

Elder Ge no longer spoke, instead, he roared and charged toward Chi Yang.

He refrained from hassling other members of the No-Phase Sword Sect, focusing solely on Chi Yang.

Qiao Changlun brought out his magic artifact, which was a ruler that hovered by his side, striking anyone it met, while his Immortal Sword in hand was like a dragon diving into water.

From the direction of the Seven Veins, disciples were flying in on their swords, forming teams of three to create Sword Arrays and battle the enemy.

Initially caught off guard by Chi Yang’s assault and on the losing side, Qingyuan Gate slowly began to turn the tide, as both sides were evenly matched in power.

Above the Palace of Longevity of Qingyuan Gate, a pillar of light shot straight into the sky, spreading out high above and turning into specks of stars, enveloping the whole of Qingyuan Mountain.

Light curtains began to emerge between stars, gradually interconnecting.

The Mountain Protection Array was being restored.

Boom!

A middle-aged man was sent flying by the trunk of a wild elephant, crashing to the ground, his eyes revealing urgency as he looked up at the emerging Qingyuan Mountain Protection Array.

“Sect Leader Chi!

Is this how you said you would handle the Qingyuan Mountain Protection Formation?” He sneered coldly, regret filling his heart.

What was the sect leader thinking, and how could he have agreed to Chi Yang’s idea to attack Qingyuan Gate?

There’s no comparison between sects with a formation and those without!

Without a formation, they could have launched a surprise attack on Qingyuan Gate, caught them off guard and fled far away once they succeeded.

A victorious battle would surely draw out those wavering sects from East Cloud Mountain.

Once they came with a great momentum, Qingyuan Gate wouldn’t be able to hold.

By ceding territories and sharing cultivation resources, Qingyuan would naturally fall, and all the sects would benefit greatly.

Even capturing a few elders or chiefs this time would ensure they feasted well!

“Formations are useless!” Chi Yang laughed loudly, with a big seal floating beside him, repeatedly blocking Elder Ge’s attacks.

Elder Ge’s fury grew within him; he dared to use Brother Yun Lu’s magical treasure in battle!

You deserve to die!

He roared, shaking his head as two rays of light shot from his body, hitting the ground and transforming into two leopards, both topped with seven Profound Moons, and charged toward Chi Yang together.

Their fight was the calmest in the midst of the battlefield, aside from laughs and roars; unlike the disciples nearby, who seemed to wish they could tear the heavens and shatter the earth with every attack.

Mountain crumbled by the side of Tinghai Lake, rivers flowed backward, and the rapidly expanding Tinghai Lake became visible to the naked eye.

The roaring waters generated steam, as they were set aflame by a fiery figure, causing the nearby waters to churn.

“Sect Leader Chi, the formation is about to be repaired, what’s your next move?!” someone yelled.

Chi Yang parried Elder Ge with a sword strike and smiled, “Don’t worry, it’s coming!”

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Elder Ge’s heart.

Then, a huge explosion came from the direction of the Law Enforcement Hall and Prison, and the entire mountain collapsed thunderously.

Elder Ge’s triple leopards’ eyes widened with rage, and with a roar, they all spat a breath of energy that mixed together and blasted towards Chi Yang.

For the first time, Elder Ge’s attack caused environmental destruction; the breath passed, and the ground was plowed, creating a trench several dozens of feet wide that extended into the distance.

At the end of the trench, Chi Yang stood with the Big Seal above his head, spitting out a mouthful of blood, yet he smiled brightly, “Uncle Master, you haven’t perfected that move yet, you can’t even control the leakage of energy.

“Bastard!

You dare to tamper with the Prison!” Elder Ge reverted to his human form, his hair and beard standing on end.

Being from Qingyuan, he knew that beneath the Prison lay the Prison Ghost.

Tampering with the Prison was a crime deserving of death!

Chi Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing insanity, “What do I have to fear?

Any troubles from the Prison fall on the shoulders of Qingyuan Gate from Feng Yi Ju.

My No-Phase Sword Sect is still tens of thousands of miles away.

What do I have to be afraid of?”

“You should die!

You deserve to die!” Elder Ge ground his teeth in anger.

Everyone on Longevity Island looked towards the Law Enforcement Hall, unsure of what had happened, but certain that Qingyuan Gate had suffered a major loss.

A bad feeling welled up within everyone.

It was as if they were being watched by some evil beast.

Sure enough, at that moment, a loud laugh came from the Prison, “Yun Lu old man, I’m out at last!”

A filthy figure, looking like a beggar, leapt into the air, boasting and shouting madly.

His matted hair covered his head, his demeanor listless but filled with arrogance.

A group of similarly disheveled and insanely deranged individuals burst into the air after him.

Someone exclaimed, “That’s Peng Nanny from the Heavenly Extinguishing Sect!

Rumored to have been killed by Qingyuan Gate four hundred years ago, who would have thought he was still alive.”

“That is Leng Miaozhen from Red Moon Tower, who twenty years ago used Yin Yang arts to harvest Qingyuan Disciples, was chased for a million miles and killed, who would have thought she was alive too.”

“And there’s Left Su’er from the Yang Supporting Sect, Monk Long Wisdom from Taibai Temple…”

All were once great enemies of Qingyuan Gate, who would have thought they were still alive.

“Chi Yang here congratulates all the senior predecessors on escaping your confines!” Chi Yang faced the direction of the Prison, offering his respects with clasped hands.
