407: Duan Yangrong arrived at the battlefield and the general attack began!
It had been a while since Lu Hao had come out. He stretched lazily. Inside, he felt constantly suppressed, and although it wasn't very strong, it was still somewhat unpleasant.
The outside world was much more comfortable. There was no Law suppression, and he could even shatter the Void Realm with a wave of his hand!
Lu Hao raised his right hand, forming a palm-blade, and lightly sliced the space in front of him!
"Tsk!"
The space was cut open, emitting a sharp sound, like a piece of paper torn into two, revealing the endless Void Realm within!
Moments later, a dark Void Realm tunnel, about ten feet in diameter with raging spatial turbulence flowing along its edges, formed!
Around the tunnel, there was also a spatial storm. Lu Hao glanced sideways, his luck was quite good; he had just opened the Void Realm and could already see a Void Realm storm.
That was a terrifying thing in the Void Realm.
Even the smallest Void Realm storm was enough to tear apart a Yuan Xu Realm expert.
But with Lu Hao's casual wave, the Void Realm storm, upon approaching within three feet of his body, obediently calmed and dissipated!
Lu Hao's figure transformed into a streak of light imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly disappearing into the dark spatial tunnel!
He headed straight for Wuji Pavilion!
Wei Feiyu stood at the head of the flagship, his eyes indifferently overlooking everything in Wuji Pavilion.
"What a magnificent territory. How wonderful it would be if it could belong to my Purple Rainbow Sect..."
Just then, the space beside Wei Feiyu rippled silently with a subtle tremor.
A gaunt, sinister-faced old man in black robes stepped out of the Void Realm like a ghost, his voice preceding his arrival:
"Hehehe, Sect Leader Wei, this Void Realm tunnel is indeed fast! In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I've traversed tens of billions of miles!"
It was none other than the Sect Master of Xunfeng Sect—Duan Yangrong!
Wei Feiyu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his heart settled.
Although Duan Yangrong was cunning and treacherous, his cultivation at Yang Solid Seventh Layer was enough to be the final straw that broke the camel's back! With his addition, even if Lü Chengtian and Sword Born Flying Feather joined forces, they would not be at a disadvantage!
"Old ghost Duan, you're finally here! Give me a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones first."
"Tch! Do I look like someone who would renege?"
Duan Yangrong then tossed out a Storage Pouch. Wei Feiyu didn't even look at it before putting it away. It was just a mere thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. He believed Duan Yangrong wouldn't bother to play tricks on something so trivial.
"Sect Master Wei, it seems this Wuji Pavilion is indeed quite disheveled now."
Duan Yangrong's hoarse voice sounded as his cloudy old eyes swept over the battlefield below. Seeing the shattered halls and mountains, and the corpses strewn everywhere, a hint of undetectable greed flickered in his eyes.
"We've been preparing for a long time, so of course, we need to see results as soon as we make a move. I just didn't expect that damned Sword Master to also be in Wuji Pavilion, otherwise, why would I need you? I could have taken down Wuji Pavilion myself!"
"Hehe, so be it. I have already given the order. My Xunfeng Sect's people are constantly monitoring the movements of Chiyun Sword Sect's people. Don't worry, their forces won't be able to come to support us for now!"
"Hmm, but to avoid prolonged delays, we still need to make a quick decision!"
After saying this, Wei Feiyu immediately prepared to issue the final general attack order!
His gaze was incredibly sharp as he looked towards Wuji Pavilion's main hall, raising his right hand, ready to give the command.
"Report—!!!"
A Purple Rainbow Sect Disciple rushed onto the flagship's deck, scrambling in panic:
"Sect Master! Urgent intelligence! There's a shocking conspiracy within Wuji Pavilion!"
"Hmm?"
Wei Feiyu and Duan Yangrong both frowned. At this point, was there still some trickery?
"Speak!"
The Disciple gasped, saying urgently:
"This Disciple just received a message from a high-ranking quasi-Elder of Wuji Pavilion. There's an area above Wuji Pavilion that has long been set up with a deadly Formation!"
"According to him, that Formation... that Formation is extremely terrifying. Even if... even if Sect Master and Sect Master Duan, you two accidentally step into it, you... you won't be able to come out alive! He also said that Sect Master must be careful!"
"What?!"
Wei Feiyu's face changed, and Duan Yangrong's cloudy old eyes also narrowed sharply, shooting out two cold beams of light.
Wei Feiyu knew very well that his Purple Rainbow Sect indeed had an informant who had become a high-ranking official within Wuji Pavilion. He had been lurking for over three thousand years and had gained the absolute trust of everyone in Wuji Pavilion, even becoming a quasi-Elder.
This person had also sent out news about Wuji Pavilion several times over the past three thousand years, playing a certain role in the covert confrontation between Purple Rainbow Sect and Wuji Pavilion.
So now that he received this news, Wei Feiyu's first reaction was to believe it!
"Where is that place?! Where is the core of the Formation?!"
Wei Feiyu pressed fiercely, his face already somewhat unnatural. Lü Chengtian, that old fox, did he really have such a contingency plan?
If he were truly trapped, not only would the operation be ruined, but even his life would be in danger!
"That... that quasi-Elder said he's still investigating the specific location and the Formation eye. He hopes Sect Master... will give him a little more time! He will surely find out!"
"How did he get this information?"
"This... your subordinate doesn't know, but judging from that person's message, it must have been very difficult."
Cold sweat trickled down the Disciple's forehead.
"What?"
Wei Feiyu's tightly furrowed brows deepened even further.
Time? Time waits for no one!
If they waited any longer, the reinforcements from the other three major forces might arrive!
So where exactly was this Formation, and was this news true or false?
Wei Feiyu's suspicious nature immediately showed. Even though the message came from his informant who had been hidden for three thousand years, he began to doubt it moments later.
"Old ghost Duan, don't you think this news is too coincidental? We were just about to launch a general attack, and then this news came, which conveniently could stop our intention to attack. Do you think... is it possible that this is news deliberately released by the other side?"
Duan Yangrong was unsure for a moment and said tentatively:
"Sect Master Wei, why not give your informant a little more time? Wait until he finds out for sure? Anyway, the other three major forces definitely won't arrive that quickly, after all, there's only one Void Realm Mirror, a Void Realm treasure, in the entire Eastern Region."
"Good! Then I've decided. We'll launch a general attack immediately!"
"Hmm? What do you mean? General attack immediately?"
"Yes!"
Wei Feiyu said emphatically:
"Even you think we should wait a bit longer. I have a premonition that this is the result Wuji Pavilion's people want to see, so I will not let them have their way!"
"No matter what, you and I will observe the situation first. If Sword Master and Lü Chengtian on the other side don't make a move, neither will we!"
"What war doesn't involve risks? With both of us here, plus the hundreds of Void-Breaking Warships under my feet, I am confident I can control the overall situation!"
