77: Chapter 77 Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth

"Halt." A Baifeng Sect guarding Disciple stepped forward before the mountain gate.

"Where do you come from? Where do you cultivate? Do you have a calling card?"

Three questions in a row.

Qin Shaoshang's expression darkened. Just as he was about to assume the airs of the Qingwei Sword Sect, he saw Yu Xiu step out from the side.

No fluctuations of Qi were visible, nor were any Concepts manifested. Yet, the four guarding Disciples who had been asking this and that while blocking the mountain gate suddenly went silent.

'Did he kill them?' Qin Shaoshang hurriedly looked over, then breathed a sigh of relief.

'He didn't.'

Those four guarding Disciples were still in the same place, yet it seemed as if they were not.

Their mouths kept opening and closing, clearly speaking, yet no sound came out. They were clearly striding forward, even using light footwork to leap, yet they remained in the same spot.

'Imprisonment?'

'Seal?'

'Or a Formation?'

Qin Shaoshang watched in astonishment, various thoughts flashing through his mind, but he could not find a method that fit this situation.

Imprisonment and Seals could both be categorized under Formations. The difference was that Formations required a base, while imprisonment and Seals did not, though they required utilizing the terrain.

But Yu Xiu had neither, and he hadn't even formed any hand Seals!

The four Baifeng Sect guarding Disciples before him were already in a state he couldn't even fathom!

'Truly unfathomable!' Qin Shaoshang marveled inwardly.

He had seen this mysterious Senior act twice, yet he had never been able to discern what cultivation method or technique he practiced!

It was as if this Senior didn't need to do anything, and Heaven and Earth would naturally act on his behalf!

[Spell: Drawing a Circle as a Prison (Perfection)]

Comprehension Ability +5000

Lifespan +5000

The four Baifeng Sect guarding Disciples were noisy, so Yu Xiu had specifically created this Spell for them.

It was indeed quite useful.

Qin Shaoshang asked curiously, "Senior, is that fellow shrouded in mist really the Baifeng Sect Leader?"

Yu Xiu had obtained a wisp of aura from Qin Shaoshang and had come following this very wisp.

"Whether it is the Baifeng Sect Leader, I do not know, but the person is indeed within the Baifeng Sect," Yu Xiu replied casually.

Having walked only a few steps, they heard successive shouts coming from all directions.

"Who dares trespass on our Tengyun Mountain?"

"How dare you run wild on our Tengyun Mountain!"

"Who are you scoundrels before the Baifeng Sect? State your names."

These shouts were extremely loud, echoing throughout Tengyun Mountain.

In an instant, three old men appeared before Yu Xiu and the other.

At the same time, many Disciples came rushing up from the mountainside upon hearing the commotion.

"It's the three mountain-guarding Protectors, Tao, Guo, and Ding!" A Disciple's eyes narrowed, followed by shock.

"What a grand spectacle. Who is trespassing on the mountain to have even alarmed these three Senior Protectors?"

"Regardless of who it is, with all three Protectors out, even the most powerful expert would be suppressed on the spot!"

"I heard that over a decade ago, a Devil Head of the Pixu Realm attacked and was instantly killed by the three Senior Protectors; they didn't even cross the mountain gate!"

"These two are young; they might have a big background, but their strength should be limited."

The Disciples discussed among themselves.

On the other side, Qin Shaoshang snorted coldly. "Baifeng Sect, such grand might. Do you not even hold my Qingwei Sword Sect in your eyes?"

'Qingwei Sword Sect?!'

These four words carried an invisible majesty, causing the three Protectors, Tao, Guo, and Ding, to instantly fall silent.

Even the Disciples who were originally gossiping and watching the commotion suddenly went quiet!

"The Qingwei Sword Sect is supreme. Your Excellency, with just empty words, do you expect us to believe you?" The Protector surnamed Tao was no longer loud, but he wasn't exactly polite either.

Qin Shaoshang said nothing, but his Sword Qi and Sword Intent erupted instantly like a tsunami or a collapsing mountain.

In an instant, Sword Qi tore through the air, and Sword Intent whistled. From all directions, it seemed as if invisible sharp swords hung in the air. The air hissed, and sword marks appeared one after another on the surrounding vegetation.

'Such Sword Qi!'

'Such Sword Intent!'

'A Sword Cultivator!'

The three Protectors exchanged glances, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

Aside from the Qingwei Sword Sect, where else in Yan Province could there be such an astonishing Sword Cultivator!

This was the hallmark of the Sword Sect; almost no one could fake it!

While the Qingwei Sword Sect was indeed the Heaven of Yan Province, they never interfered in the internal affairs of other Sects. Even if a superior cultivator from the Sword Sect arrived, they would be polite, submitting a calling card first before paying a visit.

Entering the mountain gate directly without a word like this was a first.

To say there was nothing going on, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

The three Protectors still wanted to ask for clarification.

Qin Shaoshang already spoke in a cold voice: "Follow behind."

He was not one to bully others by relying on power, but this time, he could not tolerate it. It was not because he was being hunted by someone suspected to be the Baifeng Sect Leader, but because the Baifeng Sect had slapped the face of the Qingwei Sword Sect.

A Disciple of the Sword Sect's main peak—the Baifeng Sect dared to kill one?

Would they dare to kill the Sect Master of the Qingwei Sword Sect in the future?

The three Protectors waved their hands and lowered their heads. "We did not know it was a true cultivator from the superior Sect. Please forgive our offense."

They dispersed the gossiping Disciples and truly followed behind Yu Xiu and Qin Shaoshang.

They walked up the mountain. The speed was not fast, but they were seen by many Baifeng Sect Disciples along the way. Fortunately, with the three Protectors Tao, Guo, and Ding behind them, no one dared to point fingers wherever they passed.

They climbed to the mountaintop, immediately alarming several Baifeng Sect Elders. But before these Elders could get angry, the three Protectors hurriedly sent a voice transmission: "It is an expert from the Qingwei Sword Sect."

Several Elders frowned, but a white-haired old man still stepped forward: "Two true cultivators from the superior Sect, where are you heading?"

Qin Shaoshang sneered: "You Baifeng Sect did the good deed, and now you are asking me?"

The white-haired Elder was shocked inwardly and hurriedly said: "Is it that a traitor appeared in our Baifeng Sect and angered the true cultivators of the superior Sect? I implore the true cultivator to give us a name. The Baifeng Sect will definitely tie up the traitor and give the superior Sect a satisfactory explanation."

Qin Shaoshang replied coldly: "There is no need to trouble your Baifeng Sect to do it yourself. I will do it personally."

Several Elders and Protectors looked at each other, all seeing the unease in the depths of each other's eyes.

Being bullied to their doorstep like this—in the past, the Baifeng Sect would have already attacked in a swarm, but today was different!

"Senior..." Qin Shaoshang's cold shout faded, and he looked respectfully at Yu Xiu.

He saw that Yu Xiu had already raised his hand and pointed to a mansion. "It is right here."

As soon as the words fell, the observing Elders and Protectors were shocked, followed by great rage.

"Presumptuous! This is our Sect Leader's mansion. How can you be allowed to act presumptuously!" An Elder was shocked and angry: "You two are definitely not experts from the superior Sect. Could you be Yin Demons in disguise, here to cause chaos?"

"Coming straight for our Sect Leader, and you still say you are not Yin Demons!"

"Kill!"

Several Elders and Protectors had no more hesitation.

The leader of a Sect is the face of the Sect, the bridge spanning the sea, the pillar supporting the sky. If they were to be beaten to their doorstep like this, from today on, the Baifeng Sect would have no place to stand.

Therefore, the Yu Xiu and Qin Shaoshang before them could not be people from the Sword Sect!

They must not be!

"Boom!"

In an instant, several Elders and Protectors acted in unison, forming a Formation instantly. The overwhelming pressure connected into a Formation, and in a trance, it seemed as if even Heaven and Earth were cut off.

The Elders displayed their might, the Protectors revealed their techniques, and the great Formation unleashed its Divine Might, severing Heaven and cutting off Earth.

They said nothing, not even giving Qin Shaoshang and the other a chance to speak.

'How bold!' Qin Shaoshang was shocked and angry, but also uneasy inwardly.

Although this Formation was a combined attack Formation, its momentum was astonishing, possessing the power to sever Heaven and Earth. It was likely the Baifeng Sect's town-Sect Formation. Even an expert in the Dongtian Realm, if they fell into it, would find it difficult to retreat unscathed!

He looked worriedly at Yu Xiu beside him, only to see Yu Xiu looking around with great interest, whispering: "Severing Heaven and Earth? It's somewhat interesting, but it's a bit too crude!"
