162: Breaking the Formation
Seeing Lu Xingchen and his group approach, the spokespeople for the three factions stepped forward to greet them.
"Li De, Saint of the Yin Yang Sect, greets Miss Yun Li!"
"Wan Chen, Saint of the Dragon Seeking Gate, greets Miss Yun Li!"
"Yun Yun, Eldest Princess of the Liyun Kingdom, greets Miss Yun Li! Although I am the captain of the Liyun Kingdom, my three teammates are even stronger than me!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Li chuckled, "I heard that the Imperial City of the Liyun Kingdom has four great Martial Dao Families, and their members are all Martial Dao elites. May I ask which Family the three of you belong to?"
Hearing this, the three of them simultaneously took a step forward.
"Li Hang of the Li Family, Liyun Kingdom, greets Miss Yun Li!"
"Wang Le of the Wang Family, Liyun Kingdom, greets Miss Yun Li!"
"Lin Lin of the Lin Family, Liyun Kingdom, greets Miss Yun Li!"
Among them, Li Hang and Wang Le were One-Star Martial Emperors, and Lin Lin was a Two-Star Martial Emperor.
Yun Li chuckled, "Has the one from the Wan Family not arrived yet?"
Yun Yun smiled and said, "That fellow Wan Hanwen is in seclusion again, and who knows when he'll come out!"
Lin Lin said in a deep voice, "Actually, Wan Hanwen is the strongest among us, but he's too low-key. He only focuses on Cultivating and rarely shows his face."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.
To be able to earn the heartfelt respect of Lin Lin, a Two-Star Martial Emperor, just how strong could the legendary Wan Hanwen be?
Indeed, the Tianyuan Continent never lacked Geniuses.
Yun Li said in a deep voice, "Since everyone has arrived, let's enter the Martial Ancestor Cave Mansion!"
Yun Yun said softly, "I'm afraid not yet, there's a small problem."
Upon hearing this, Yun Li's eyebrows slightly arched.
"What problem?"
Yun Yun continued, "This Martial Ancestor Expert should be a Spirit Array Great Master, or knew other Spirit Array Masters, and set up a Spirit Formation around the Immortal Cave."
"According to my estimation, the grade of this Spirit Formation has reached Seventh-Grade. Although it has become incomplete over the years, it is still not something we can break."
Yun Li said in a deep voice, "It's not too surprising. Setting up a Spirit Formation to protect an Immortal Cave is a very normal action. Now that I'm here, let's try again! Let's see if our combined efforts can break it. If not, we can only go back and inform the Sect Master."
"No matter what, I will not give up on this Martial Ancestor Cave Mansion."
Yun Yun nodded slightly, "I think so too. Although this Spirit Formation is damaged, it still possesses the power of a Sixth-Grade Spirit Formation. Those below the Martial King realm basically can't do anything about it. Let the Martial Emperor Experts present attack together!"
"Alright."
Thus, Yun Li, Li De, Wan Chen, Li Hang, Wang Le, and Lin Lin stood side by side in front of the stone door, simultaneously launching an attack at a specific point on the stone door.
With six Martial Emperor Experts attacking, the might was undoubtedly formidable.
Ripples appeared on the Formation on the stone door, but it ultimately did not shatter.
Seeing this, Lu Xingchen's eyebrows slightly arched.
These people are all old foxes!
Others might not know, but the power of Yun Li's previous strike was only enough to kill the azure python.
Although very strong, she clearly hadn't used her full strength.
Needless to say, the other five were the same.
Yun Li frowned and said in a deep voice, "Can everyone be a little more serious? We barely made it to the peak, are we really going to leave in dismay without even being able to enter the Immortal Cave?"
Wan Chen, the Saint of the Dragon Seeking Gate, immediately said, "Miss Yun Li, when you are reprimanding others, can you please manage yourself first?"
Hearing this, Yun Li's expression turned stern, and she glared fiercely at Wan Chen.
Just as she was about to retort, Lu Xingchen patted her shoulder and said softly, "Miss Yun Li, there's no need to punish yourself for the mistakes of others."
As soon as Lu Xingchen said this, Yun Li was amused, while Wan Chen's face turned dark.
"I say, who are you? Do you have a say here?"
Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "My name is Lu Xingchen, a newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple of the Cangxuan Sect. But that's not important. What's important is that I can help you break this guardian Formation."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled, turning their gaze to Lu Xingchen.
Wan Chen scoffed, "A newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple? Your strength must be quite ordinary then. How can you break this situation?"
Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Because I am also a Spirit Array Master."
"If this Spirit Formation were a complete Sixth-Grade Spirit Formation, I might not be able to do anything about it. But it is a damaged Seventh-Grade Spirit Formation, inherently having huge flaws."
"With my strength as a Fifth-Grade Spirit Array Master, I might be able to discern the weaknesses of this Spirit Formation, and then direct you all to attack its weak points simultaneously. Perhaps we can break the Formation."
Wan Chen was startled.
What Lu Xingchen said made some sense. If he were to act, perhaps he really could break the Formation.
However, this young man had been somewhat disrespectful to him in his words just now. For a moment, Wan Chen didn't want to give Lu Xingchen a chance to show off.
"You, a mere Fifth-Grade Spirit Array Master, want to command us? Go play somewhere else!"
Just then, Yun Yun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Brother Wan Chen, don't be angry. Lu Xingchen is just straightforward and doesn't understand social etiquette. But his method might actually be useful. I think we can give it a try!"
Wan Chen still held Yun Yun in some respect.
Not to mention that she was the Eldest Princess of the Liyun Kingdom and its future ruler.
Her own strength also warranted attention.
At just over 18 years old, she had Cultivated to Seven-Star Martial King. With the support of the Liyun Kingdom, entering the Martial Emperor realm in the future was basically not a problem, and she even had a chance to challenge the Martial Ancestor realm.
Seeing that Yun Yun had provided an opening, and he himself wanted to break the Formation, Wan Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then let you, young man, give it a try!"
Lu Xingchen walked to the stone door, clasped his hands together, and hundreds of Spiritual Seals flew from his palms, merging into the Spirit Formation before him.
He attached his Soul Power to the Spiritual Seals, sensing the weaknesses of this Seventh-Grade Spirit Formation.
For a full quarter of an hour, Lu Xingchen made no movement.
The people watching from the side began to grow a little impatient.
"A Fifth-Grade Spirit Array Master wants to break a Seventh-Grade Spirit Formation? Who gave him that confidence?"
"Why is there no reaction after so long? Is Lu Xingchen not capable?"
"Most likely not. That's a Seventh-Grade Spirit Formation, capable of resisting Martial Ancestor Experts. How could it be broken by Lu Xingchen, a Martial King?"
"I think so too. Later, he'll just have to apologize sheepishly."
After another three minutes, Lu Xingchen lowered his hands and said with a smile, "I've found the weak points of this Spirit Formation. With the strength you all displayed earlier, you should be able to break it."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was delighted, not expecting Lu Xingchen to actually succeed.
Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Yun Li, Li De, Li Hang, Wang Le, Lin Lin, the five of you, simultaneously attack the positions I indicate. You should be able to break the Formation."
"Alright! I didn't expect Brother Lu to have some skill!" The three Martial Emperor Experts from the Liyun Kingdom immediately took their positions.
