At this moment, Chen Chengren was sighing in the main hall!
Suddenly, a pressure that filled him with despair descended!
A powerful enemy had invaded!
The elders of the Little Xuan Sect had also sensed it. Although they didn't know who was coming, this feeling was even more terrifying than the White Immortal Lord, who had left not long ago!
Everyone hurried to the front of the sect's main hall. At this time, the Sect Protecting Formation had already automatically activated. Bai Xuefeng spoke loudly outside the formation:
"Sect Leader Chen, our Haotian Immortal Emperor has personally ordered that as long as you hand over your disciple, the Little Xuan Sect will be spared. Furthermore, we promise that the Little Xuan Sect will be protected by our Haotian Sect during this great tribulation!"
Several elders were instantly excited upon hearing this, and they looked at Chen Chengren with anticipation!
However, Chen Chengren's face was filled with a ruthless expression as he replied:
"Go back and tell your Haotian Immortal Emperor that the Little Xuan Sect is not worthy, and we will not grovel to you all. If the sect exists, we exist; if the sect is destroyed, we perish!"
The few elders were shocked, but seeing Chen Chengren's determination, they didn't say anything more!
Bai Xuefeng was a little embarrassed at this moment. He didn't expect that he, a dignified Immortal Lord, would be rebuffed so completely by a Celestial Immortal.
Luo Qing, Immortal King, beside him, showed a look of disdain and said:
"Why bother chattering with a group of ants? The Sect Protecting Formation is just a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Luo Qing raised his hand, and a giant earthy-yellow palm enveloped the Little Xuan Sect, radiating the immense pressure of an Immortal King realm!
An elder muttered to himself, "It's over... it's over."
Seeing the palm about to strike down, Chen Chengren also closed his eyes!
Boom—
A deafening boom!
The people of the Little Xuan Sect suddenly realized they weren't dead!
The Sect Protecting Formation was also completely intact!
"How is this possible! When did our Sect Protecting Formation become so strong?"
Everyone present was astonished. Even Chen Chengren, the sect leader, was puzzled. Although the Sect Protecting Formation hadn't been used for over a hundred years, there was no record of it being this powerful before.
At this moment, a young man suddenly jumped out from the crowd!
"It's our Lu Family's twelfth ancestor! I saw it in the family history. He participated in the original setup of the Little Xuan Sect's Sect Protecting Formation!"
Everyone turned to look at him. This person was Lu Ming! Actually, Lu Ming had been scared to death when the giant hand came down, but after seeing how effective the formation was, he immediately regained his confidence!
An elder frowned and said, "Now that Junior Nephew Lu Ming mentions it, I do have some recollection. The sect seems to have records of the Lu Family's involvement in the Sect Protecting Formation's setup."
In truth, neither of them was lying. The Little Xuan Sect's strength had been quite good in its heyday, and the Lu Family was one of its affiliated families. However, the Little Xuan Sect had been declining for nearly a thousand years, even falling behind some of its former affiliated families.
Chen Chengren was also starting to wonder: Could it really be that they had set up a formation that could withstand an Immortal King back then? But he quickly dismissed the thought. Lu Ming was probably just making things up! If his Lu Family had that kind of capability, wouldn't they have taken off long ago?
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, who was sleeping in his thatched hut, sneezed. He had no idea he suddenly had such a disrespectful descendant.
Luo Qing outside the Sect Protecting Formation was now somewhat enraged. He had assumed that a casual strike from him would turn this formation into dust, but it was completely unscathed!
Luo Qing snorted coldly, a simple longsword appearing in his hand, clearly no ordinary item! He swung the sword towards the formation from afar. A tiny crack appeared on the formation, but it quickly repaired itself!
A smirk played on Luo Qing's lips. This formation was indeed strange, capable of endless regeneration. Even if breached, it could quickly repair itself. But as long as he could create an opening, he could teleport directly inside and then leave not a single dog or chicken alive in the Little Xuan Sect!
Thinking of this, Luo Qing struck again with his sword. Another crack appeared on the formation, and Luo Qing's figure vanished instantly, reappearing within the formation!
The people of the Little Xuan Sect were instantly terrified, their faces ashen!
However, after a while, they realized something was amiss. The Immortal King Luo Qing, despite entering the formation, was just standing there motionless, seemingly bewildered!
"I know! I know!" Suddenly, an excited shout came from the crowd!
Everyone looked over and saw it was Lu Ming again!
He declared triumphantly, "That Immortal King Luo Qing must have fallen into an Illusion Formation after rushing into the Sect Protecting Formation!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Immortal King Luo Qing did indeed look like he was trapped in an illusion!
Lu Ming continued, "My ancestor was famous throughout the world for his Illusion Formations!" The elders looked at Lu Ming, thinking he was a bit foolish, but they didn't say anything, instead saying:
"To be able to trap an expert at the Immortal King realm, your ancestor's skill in formations must have reached the pinnacle."
Lu Ming's lips curled up involuntarily, but he remained humble.
Meanwhile, Luo Qing was lost in the Illusion Formation. He had thought he'd broken through the Sect Protecting Formation, but he'd actually fallen into a trap. The illusion before him was incredibly realistic! He couldn't find the core of the formation, and he was also terrified. How could a small sect like the Little Xuan Sect possess such a formation?
Bai Xuefeng, watching the motionless Immortal King Luo Qing within the formation, quickly guessed what had happened. He also secretly felt fortunate. It seemed the Little Xuan Sect indeed had something extraordinary, even trapping the Immortal King Luo Qing!
Bai Xuefeng's expression was uncertain. Finally, he gritted his teeth and headed back the way he came.
"Immortal Emperor, something terrible has happened!"
