Chapter 422: Chapter 421 Flawless

Following the conversation, someone expressed their confusion, "They’ve already decreased in number, and I thought it was arranged by one of you..."

"It wasn’t me who planned it," said one.

"Nor I," said another.

Denials continued one after another.

Initially, when the Demonic Beasts started to decrease, nobody paid attention, but after more than a dozen went missing, people took notice—assuming it was the work of someone within their own ranks.

Turns out, it wasn’t?

What a big misunderstanding!

In fact, not just them; people from the Tianxu Sect had already noticed something amiss. However, none spoke up, considering that fewer Demonic Beasts were in their favor.

Once the Nascent Soul of the beast tamer perished, the Demonic Beasts contracted to her died as well, leaving the rest incapable of posing a threat to them.

They thought the disappearance of the beasts would cease once discovered.

Little did they expect that, at the next moment, all the Demonic Beasts vanished!

Someone cursed, "It’s really unbelievable, who did this?"

"Is there a third party involved?"

"Could it be the people from the Tianxu Sect?"

"Unlikely; if it were them, they would have taken action earlier, not wait until we were all off guard. It’s superfluous," reasoned the speaker convincingly.

Nonetheless, no one guessed the truth.

Little Fatty had already been hidden away and taken into Xie Jiuniang’s Exclusive Space.

Xie Jiuniang returned to the Flying Boat.

Before heading back, she transmitted a message to Lord Guangluo, notifying him that the space was sealed off by four Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Such a large-scale seal couldn’t last long. However, within this sealed time, the enemy would surely try everything in their power to capture them all in one fell swoop.

This was exactly what they needed to be wary of.

The current situation was highly unfavorable—feeling like lambs waiting for slaughter, they might not survive to be rescued by the Sect, and they had to think of a way to break the stalemate quickly...

Wuning, the old devil, had already taken a Healing Pill, circulating his cultivation technique throughout his body several times, which healed the burns on his skin to their original state; only his eyebrows and hair remained bare.

He was not blessed with good looks to begin with.

Now upon a single glance, he appeared even more unsightly!

But Wuning, the old devil, paid no mind to his appearance, his expression growing dark and uncertain as he looked at Xie Jiuniang, who remained composed but was devising sinister schemes. Recalling various rumors about her, he shuddered inexplicably.

He somewhat regretted accepting this sinister transaction.

The benefits were meager compared to the trouble it brought, leaving him in a difficult situation with no easy way out...

Xie Jiuniang stepped onto the Flying Boat and suddenly turned back, locking eyes with Wuning. She coolly curled her lips and whispered, "Don’t try any tricks, I’ll be watching you..."

Her voice was very soft.

Yet, not beyond the keen hearing of the old devil.

Before Wuning had a chance to respond,

Xie Jiuniang turned and left the deck, heading straight to the second floor. She casually entered a vacant room and activated a Formation that isolated the room.

Then she used the Time Leaf to start a precognition...

Outside the Flying Boat.

The Demonic Beasts were gone.

Wuning, claiming his injuries as an excuse, refused to make a move.

Those lying in ambush had no choice but to take matters into their own hands, advancing the next phase of their plan.

A masked Divinity Transformation cultivator took the lead and attacked Guangluo, signaling the fourteen Nascent Souls behind him to action.

Four Nascent Souls attacked the Tianxu Sect Elders.

The other nine dispersed in various directions.

Each produced an Array Plate and began setting up, their fingers flying so rapidly that afterimages appeared as they formed their incantations.

"Not good! They’re setting up the Ninefold Illusionary Death Formation!" Lord Guangluo was instantly filled with dread.

Ninth-level Formations were usually something only Divinity Transformation cultivators could set up, but nine late-stage Nascent Souls working together each in charge of a single focal point could swiftly establish one.

The Illusionary Death Formation was powerful, and the higher its level, the stronger it became.

A seventh-level Formation could trap a Nascent Soul, let alone the ninth-level?

Once the Formation was complete, there would be no hope for them to survive!

Lord Guangluo made a decisive move, unleashing his strongest killing technique, betting all his spiritual power and his very life in an attempt to kill the masked Divinity Transformation!

If he did not succeed, he was willing to perish.

After this strike, his spiritual power would be depleted by ninety-nine percent!

Lord Guangluo’s action was extremely abrupt.

It was as if during a fight, while both parties were still in the phase of testing each other, one side suddenly adopted a stance of mutual destruction. For what purpose?

The masked Divinity Transformation was greatly alarmed.

His first thought was to retreat and not clash head-on with Guangluo.

"You can’t retreat! Behind you is—"

A familiar voice urgently reminded.

This caused the masked Divinity Transformation to hesitate for a moment. With a loud bang, he clumsily received the attack and was heavily smashed to the ground.

He created a huge crater upon impact.

In an instant, his blood surged, and his internal organs shifted!

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

It all sprayed on the faceless mask.

The broken mask subsequently fell off, revealing an old face smeared with blood, including his eyes, which faintly showed bits of internal tissue.

"Why..."

Why didn’t they let him dodge?

In a battle between Divinity Transformation-level figures, lives could be taken in the blink of an eye. The words spoken by that person a moment ago caused him to be distracted for an instant.

Otherwise, Guangluo would not have had the opportunity to inflict such heavy damage on him.

He was just struggling to stand up and question his companion.

But as he opened his mouth, fresh blood gushed forth again.

Behind him, a sword light flickered silently, swift as an illusion, fast as a shooting star!

It aimed directly at his heart!

This was taking advantage of his weakness to take his life, not giving him a single chance to catch his breath!

"No! Stop!"

A furious shout echoed through the skies.

However, the sword light did not stop, instead, it sped up provocatively—

Hiss!

It was the sound of a blade piercing flesh and blood.

A mysterious Broken Sword penetrated the man’s heart, instantly severing his lifeline.

His eyes widened in ferocity, filled with crimson fury, a mix of unwillingness and disbelief. Probably, he had never imagined that he would fall here today, and be betrayed by a companion, no less!

That angry voice spoke again, teeth clenched: "How dare you, wretch?!"

"What is there to not dare? Now that we are enemies, did you expect me to coddle you?" Xie Jiuniang’s voice was full of mockery.

Truly infuriating enough to kill without bearing the consequences!

Timing and geographical advantage are indispensable; Xie Jiuniang’s timing in striking was excellent, capturing flawlessly the opportunity created by Lord Guangluo.

At this moment, the Divinity Transformation who had just spoken out and reminded him had become the target of public criticism; he was one of those who had sealed the surrounding space.

Now beset by blame from the others, he felt both guilty and wronged, "This Lord did not intend to kill Lord Louhuang on purpose."

If Louhuang had dodged, that move would not have missed but instead would have killed a Nascent Soul currently setting up a formation behind him.

It would have disrupted their layout.

Clearly, Guangluo had realized their intentions and was doing everything in his power to disrupt the formation.

However, what truly enraged them was yet to come.

Just as Louhuang’s spiritual soul was leaving his body, attempting to secretly escape, a streak of silver suddenly appeared, wrapping around the spiritual soul and, in a blink, vanishing without a trace!

Those below the level of Nascent Soul did not understand what happened.

But the Divinity Transformations recognized it instantly.

That silver light was the Power of Laws, someone had captured Louhuang’s spiritual soul!

This greatly shocked the four Divinity Transformations outside.

"Who is it?!"
