102: Shooting oneself in the foot

Chapter 102: Hoisting Your Own Petard

On the other side.

Nine Yang Holy Master and Immortal Master Ziyang confronted three Saint Realm Experts from the Shangguan Family.

Although the three Experts from the Shangguan Family had a numerical advantage, they were steadily pushed back under the attacks of Nine Yang Holy Master and Immortal Master Ziyang, unable to resist at all.

The ancient Formation sealed this space, making everyone from Cloud Heaven Holy Land feel like they were turtles in a jar, but they didn't expect to be trapped inside, unable to escape.

“When will this Formation unseal the space?”

The Experts of the Shangguan Family began to panic.

“The spatial seal cannot be lifted now, unless those two Heavenly Demons are killed,” Xiao Chonglou said, dodging a sword from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land Grand Elder.

Their cultivation levels were similar, or rather, Xiao Chonglou's was slightly higher.

However, Cloud Heaven Holy Land's Grand Elder was not far behind, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to suppress Xiao Chonglou.

This kind of suppression had no real effect; at most, it prevented Xiao Chonglou from attending to others.

“Damn it, this has completely trapped us inside!”

The Saint Realm Expert from the Shangguan Family cursed loudly.

Killing those two Heavenly Demons was impossible; doing so would only offend the Tianyi Magic Region.

Now that they had betrayed the Human Race, if they also offended the Tianyi Magic Region, they would have no place to stand in the Tianxuan Realm.

“Are there any other ways?” Shangguan Wudi, the Clan Chief of the Shangguan Family, asked.

“There is no other way, unless an Emperor-tier Divine Weapon is used to break this Formation, or the two Heavenly Demons inside are killed, or the Heavenly Demons outside open the Formation.”

“Otherwise, we won't be able to get out for a while,” Xiao Chonglou said.

It seemed like there were solutions, but in reality, there were none.

To break this Formation with an Emperor-tier Divine Weapon, first, the Shangguan Family didn't bring any top-tier Emperor-tier Divine Weapons, nor did Xiao Chonglou.

Furthermore, this space was sealed, preventing them from contacting the Heavenly Demons outside to have them open the Formation.

Originally, they were under great pressure; if not for the Heavenly Demons from the Tianyi Magic Region backing them, they wouldn't have dared to besiege Cloud Heaven Holy Lord and Cold Moon Sword Immortal.

If they also fell out with the Heavenly Demons, their situation would become dangerous.

“Damn it, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?”

The three Saint Realm Experts from the Shangguan Family became furious, only able to curse incessantly.

“Haha, isn't it good to stay here?”

“Why do you want to leave?”

Nine Yang Holy Master and Immortal Master Ziyang burst into laughter, then launched a fierce assault on the Shangguan Family's Experts.

At this moment, their mood couldn't have been happier.

The four major forces—Shangguan Family, Heavenly Demon Sect, Snake Clan, and Tianyi Magic Region—these guys, thinking they were clever, wanted to besiege Cloud Heaven Holy Lord and Cold Moon Sword Immortal.

But they ended up hoisting their own petard, trapping themselves within the Formation, becoming turtles in a jar.

Now they held an absolute advantage; if Cold Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyue fully recovered, their advantage would become even more obvious, and they could definitely keep all these people here.

With the ancient Formation sealing this area, even these top-tier Saint Realm Experts couldn't escape in a short time.

“Such traitors should be killed!”

“And these Experts from the Shangguan Family, now that they are turtles in a jar, we must keep them here this time.”

Immortal Master Ziyang said coldly.

He usually detested such individuals who betrayed the Human Race, especially since the Shangguan Family was a prominent Human Race Family, enjoying endless privileges yet doing such things.

“Hmph, it won't be that easy to kill us,” Shangguan Wudi said coldly.

So many Experts fighting in this space, and all of them were at the Late Stage of the Saint Realm or above, directly caused this space to tremble, as if it could collapse at any moment.

“Ao Zhengxiong, do you know what you're doing?”

“You've allied with the Human Race; this is a betrayal of our Yao Race. Our Yao Race's Ancient Royal Clan will never let you off.”

“The Dragon Clan will also seize this opportunity to destroy your Phoenix Clan!”

The Snake Clan Leader gnashed his teeth.

Ao Zhengxiong's Aura was too powerful, making the Snake Clan Leader extremely uncomfortable.

Ao Zhengxiong was already at the Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation, with terrifying strength.

“If you perish here, no one will know any of this.”

“You are not qualified to speak of betrayal in front of me!”

“You colluded with the Tianyi Magic Region; if this news gets out, who will be the traitor of our Yao Race?”

Ao Zhengxiong sneered.

Ao Zhengxiong's strength was extremely formidable; even a Quasi-Emperor Realm Expert was no match for him.

“Aren't you afraid of the Dragon Clan?” The Snake Clan Leader threatened.

Among the Yao Race, the Dragon Clan held an extremely high status, having been the number one Yao Race for millions of years.

For this reason, the Dragon Clan held immense prestige within the Yao Race, and almost all major Yao Race forces feared the Dragon Clan to some extent.

Even a powerful Ancient Royal Clan like the Phoenix Clan had to fear the Dragon Clan a little.

This was also why the Phoenix Clan had never dared to act against the Dragon Clan.

Throughout history, the Phoenix Clan had not refrained from attacking the Dragon Clan, but each time, the Phoenix Clan ended in a disastrous defeat.

Because of this, the Dragon Clan's prestige within the Yao Race became even higher, and it also caused the Phoenix Clan to harbor fear towards the Dragon Clan.

This was the result of long-term accumulation; unless they possessed the true strength to defeat the Dragon Clan, they would not easily move against them.

“You say we are afraid of the Dragon Clan; why should we be afraid?”

“Now the Dragon Clan can barely protect themselves; when have you seen the Dragon Clan emerge in so many years?”

“Only you fools are willing to be the Dragon Clan's lackeys, a bunch of good-for-nothings!”

Ao Zhengxiong coldly rebuked.

If the Snake Clan hadn't betrayed them, and the Phoenix Clan surpassed the Dragon Clan in the future, the Snake Clan's status would also greatly improve.

Unfortunately, they didn't have such an opportunity now, all because they sided with the Dragon Clan.

“Impossible, how is this possible!”

“The Dragon Clan has always prospered; how could they decline?”

The Snake Clan Holy Master naturally didn't believe it, after all, they had become the Dragon Clan's subordinates.

“A bunch of fools!”

“If the Dragon Clan were still as powerful as before, how could they still let you act in the dark?”

Ao Zhengxiong sneered.

These Snake Clan members were stubbornly deluded, still unable to see the situation clearly.

Perhaps the Dragon Clan's past reputation was too great, causing these Yao Race forces to be filled with fear and unable to make a normal analysis.

“Hmph, I won't believe your nonsense,” the Snake Clan Holy Master said coldly.

Ao Zhengxiong also didn't think that a few words from him could change the other party's mind; after all, to become the Snake Clan Holy Master, one must be a person of extremely firm resolve, with an unbreakable Dao Heart.

Unless the truth and evidence were laid bare, they would absolutely not believe it.

Besides, there was another reason: they had no choice.

When they chose to side with the Dragon Clan, they had no turning back, so even if what Ao Zhengxiong said was true, they were unwilling to believe it.

Ao Zhengxiong also didn't waste words; he directly displayed his powerful strength, and instantly, Phoenix True Fire surged in the sky.

The Snake Clan Experts continuously wailed, but in front of the powerful Ao Zhengxiong, they were no match at all.

Soon, these Snake Clan Experts suffered heavy injuries.
