445: Chapter 445 Encirclement and Suppression of Tianyin

[Year 72,]

[In these two years, with the support of the xuantian treasure mirror, you have gained quite a lot.]

[First, your Space Law and Time Law have finally reached Perfection.]

[Second, by borrowing a trace of the Imperial Path Law's power from within the human emperors seal, your Imperial Path Law has finally reached the Initial Level.]

[Third, the two Divine Abilities, "Lonely Slaying Annihilation" and "Two Principles Rotation," have both advanced from the Initial Level to Minor Achievement.]

[After reaching Minor Achievement, these Divine Abilities not only respond to your every thought but their power has also surged tremendously.]

[On this day—]

[Chu Fan took your Clone to see someone you didn't expect.]

[It was actually Yan Feng.]

[Inside a private room in the Tianxing Tower, the three sat together.]

[Chu Fan got straight to the point: "Qin Tian, this is Yan Feng. The higher-ups need to mobilize some manpower, so I recommended you."]

[You were secretly surprised, but your expression remained as calm as water. You cupped your hands with a smile and said, "Greetings, Brother Yan. May I ask what your instructions are?"]

[You naturally knew that such recommendations involved fighting and killing, with life-threatening risks, so Chu Fan didn't actually value you.]

[Of course, from another perspective, some people enjoy doing such things and instead treat them as an Opportunity.]

[Yan Feng glanced at you indifferently, his tone calm: "Don't ask too many questions, just follow me."]

[Having said that, he stood up and left, leading you straight to a mansion.]

[Inside the mansion, more than ten Soul Transformation experts stood side by side. The leader—was actually Liu Tianci.]

[Your pupils constricted slightly.]

[Fortunately, your Perfection-level Illusionary Form Technique had already disguised your skeletal structure and aura. As his gaze swept over, he didn't recognize you.]

[Yan Feng stepped forward and cupped his fists: "Uncle Liu, everyone is here."]

[Liu Tianci nodded with satisfaction: "Good, Feng'er, you've worked hard. This journey is dangerous; you should stay in the Heavenly Palace, there's no need for you to go."]

[Given the history between the Liu Clan and the Heavenly Palace's Yan Clan, this form of address was quite normal—even if they were worlds apart, they still had to maintain appearances.]

[Yan Feng shook his head: "Uncle Liu, I've been feeling restless during my recent meditation, so I want to follow you for some experience. Perhaps I'll gain some insight."]

[Liu Tianci pondered for a moment and then nodded.]

[Listening to this, you understood in your heart—these ten or so Soul Transformation experts had all been mobilized from various law enforcement teams.]

[The Heavenly Palace often did this when conducting business outside.]

[Mobilizing some manpower was nothing more than—cannon fodder.]

[The Liu Clan had already suffered heavy losses, so it was only natural to mobilize Soul Transformation experts from the Heavenly Palace to fill the gaps.]

[Liu Tianci's gaze swept over you all, his tone indifferent: "This matter is confidential. Once it's accomplished, there will be rewards."]

[You Soul Transformation experts looked respectful on the surface but were laughing inwardly.]

[Who didn't know the Liu Clan's current situation? These empty promises were just for show.]

[What truly motivated people were the perks of an outside mission—the people killed and the treasures obtained would all belong to oneself.]

[This kind of income was much more practical than Liu Tianci's empty promises.]

[A moment later,]

[Liu Tianci led you all onto the grand teleportation Formation.]

[Amidst the flickering light—]

[Tianxuan Star, Tianxuan Immortal City.]

[Your heart stirred; you hadn't expected it to be this place.]

[Tianxuan Immortal City was the territory of the Tianxuan Immortal Dynasty and the only city on Tianxuan Star with a grand teleportation Formation.]

[Liu Tianci brought so many people... Could he be looking to cause trouble for the Immortal Dynasty?]

[As soon as you appeared at the teleportation Formation, Liu Tianci directly tore open the Void Realm.]

[Under the astonished gazes and discussions of the nearby Cultivators, you all stepped inside—]

["A Void Refinement Mighty One?!"]

["And more than ten Soul Transformation experts?!"]

["What are they going to do? Is something big about to happen on Tianxuan Star?"]

["This is an Opportunity! Hurry, go and scavenge for scraps!" someone shouted.]

[In an instant, many people in the city activated Talismans and fled the city.]

[Before the clamor behind you had died down, a different world appeared before your eyes.]

[A vast mountain range stretched out before you, endless and stretching beyond the horizon.]

[This was the Tianxuan Mountain Range.]

[It was the largest mountain range on Tianxuan Star, with Sects standing thick as hair within it.]

[At this moment—]

[A streak of light swept over from the distance and stopped in front of Liu Tianci.]

[The newcomer bowed respectfully: "Junior Feng Yu greets Senior Liu."]

[Liu Tianci waved his hand indifferently: "Lead the way."]

["Yes!" Feng Yu took the order, turned around, and led the group toward an inconspicuous branch of the mountain range.]

[Mingling in the crowd, the corners of your mouth curled up slightly.]

[Feng Yu, Late Nascent Soul Stage, Young Lord of the Huanling Sect.]

[You didn't expect to meet him here.]

[This is truly... a gathering of enemies.]

[But—where exactly is he leading you?]

[And what is the ultimate purpose of this trip?]

[A moment later,]

[Your group landed in front of a Sect gate.]

[Your Divine Sense swept across—]

[On the main hall of the Sect gate, three words were prominently carved: Tianyin Sect.]

[Tianyin Sect?]

[This was once one of the three major Sects of Ziyang Star, yet now it was huddled in this remote corner of the mountain range, reduced to an inconspicuous, small-time establishment.]

[It truly was a case of a tiger falling into the plains.]

[Just then—]

[Liu Tianci flipped his hand and took out a Formation compass, striking it with a beam of spiritual light.]

[The compass flew out of his hand and soared straight into the sky.]

[In the next instant, the sky trembled.]

[A thick beam of spiritual light poured down from the compass, like an inverted giant bowl, completely enveloping everything within a radius of ten million miles.]

[Within those ten million miles, countless Sects were shaken, and countless Cultivators looked up, their expressions changing drastically.]

["This is..."]

["The Heaven-Shrouding Grand Array! This is the Heaven-Shrouding Grand Array that isolates heaven and earth!"]

["Such a grand gesture... which factions are about to go to war?"]

[In an instant, streaks of light shot across the mountains and fields.]

[Some were sword-riding, others were flying; countless Cultivators hovered in mid-air, looking around in suspicion and uncertainty.]

[And inside the Tianyin Sect—]

[Things had completely boiled over.]

[Tens of thousands of light streaks shot out from various peaks. Low-level Cultivators stood on the mountaintops, looking up at the sky, before their gazes all landed on your group.]

[These low-level Disciples—Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment—accounted for a full ninety percent.]

[Their eyes were so clean they seemed as if they hadn't yet been washed by the bloody winds and rains of the cultivation world, still shining with light.]

[In the crowd, a petite female Qi Refining Cultivator timidly tugged at the sleeve of the Senior Brother beside her and whispered, "Senior Brother, what's going on?"]

[The male Qi Refining Cultivator puffed out his chest, trying his best to appear calm: "I don't know. But—on this Tianxuan Star, no one dares to provoke our Tianyin Sect. These people must be looking for death."]

[Not far away, a female Foundation Establishment Cultivator holding a spiritual sword slightly leaned toward the male Golden Core Cultivator beside her and said, "Brother Jing, these people are full of Killing Intent; I'm afraid a big battle is unavoidable. Be careful later, I'll protect you."]

[Even though her cultivation was clearly lower, her tone was so serious it didn't sound like a joke.]

[The male Golden Core Cultivator's expression was grave, his eyes fixed on the Heaven-Shrouding Grand Array in the sky. He whispered, "Sister Rong, I'm afraid we're in trouble this time. Later, find an Opportunity to use an Earth-Escaping Talisman to hide underground; you might be able to survive."]

[He didn't refute her "protection," but instead told her the method most likely to save her life.]

[The sky-filling Killing Intent was like dark clouds pressing down, heavily enveloping the entire Tianyin Sect.]

[Yet these low-level Disciples were instead blissfully ignorant.]

[They only felt that the sky today was exceptionally oppressive and that the group of strangers hovering outside the Sect gate was exceptionally cold.]

[But they did not yet understand—what lay behind that coldness.]
