Chapter 697 – Forbidden

After the decline of the Ouyang Family and the rise of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, about seventy percent of the power of the Yu Cheng was in the hands of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. After all, the Ouyang Family was an established family, and although the had been devoid of talent all these years, it still controlled thirty percent of the power of the Yu Cheng.

Right now, the Ouyang Family and the Heaven-Shaken Sect were united, and the two sides had joined forces in the Yu Cheng, causing the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to instantly feel an unprecedented pressure. It was said that the secret path that led to the top of the Heaven-Shaking Peak was already guarded by Spiritual Master Lin Canghai himself.

In front of the various sects, Spiritual Master Lin Canghai only had one reason, only when the five great formation masters of Yuzhou agreed to work together to break through the array, would he be able to let go of this path. Just based on this one reason alone, the Adept Zhu would not agree to it, no one would be willing to share their possible gains with others, and furthermore, the moment the forbidden array was broken, the Heaven-Shaken Sect would obtain the greatest advantage.

Secondly, as the controller and guardian of this passage, Lin Canghai representing the Rogue Cultivator Alliance requested for the various sects to get an additional ten percent of the harvest. In other words, other than giving ten percent of the harvest to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, the remaining ninety percent would be given to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance as part of the distribution.

What channel controller and guardian were merely things that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had plastered onto his face. If not for the fact that they were afraid that Spiritual Master Lin Canghai would destroy the secret passage after jumping into a desperate situation and let the forbidden array once again flood the cave at the top of the mountain, they would have long entered the Yu Cheng to argue with him.

It was precisely because the agreements between the various sects outside the Yu Cheng were not progressing well, that many of the cultivators from various sects outside the Yu Cheng were plotting against the Heaven-Shaking Peak in their boredom.

After so many years of exploration, countless Martial Realm Cultivator s broke into the forbidden array one after another, and had already opened up a few safer tunnels within the large array. Although these passages looked like they went deep into the interior of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, in reality, they did not even necessarily reach the mountainside of the mountain where the huge mountain had collapsed. Although there were occasionally rumors of treasures being obtained from the forbidden array, the true essence of the Heaven-Shaking Peak was not obtained by anyone, and this was also the reason why all the sects gathered together once again to break the forbidden array and divide it.

The various sects have all sent their more powerful late stage martial arts realm cultivators to the forbidden array, not only as experiences, but also to gather more information on the situation within the forbidden array, to provide support for the formation masters of the various sects. Of course, it would be best if they could truly be fortunate enough to obtain one or two treasures, after all, this is a great sect that had dominated the Yuzhou for many years.

Within these few days, there had already been at least two pieces of information on finding spirit artifacts. At the same time, there were rumors that Adept Realm Cultivator had sealed his own cultivation and entered the forbidden array with the strength of a grand achievement martial arts realm. It seemed that the two spirit artifacts had only been obtained because of the participation of these people.

“It was because Senior Yan heard this news that she decided to investigate the forbidden array, and so she went to find Senior Master Yan to seal her cultivation. Naturally, Junior Yan did not want to do so, but Senior Yan said that she had entered the forbidden array with Master Jun Shan several times before, and in terms of understanding this formation, I’m afraid that not even the array masters of the sect would be able to match her, and right now, my Tan Xi Sect’s understanding and calculation of the forbidden array is far behind that of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the Zhuge family, the Yuxiao Sect, the Jade Sword Sect, and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.”

In addition, there are other sects that have cultivators sealing their cultivation and taking risks to enter the forbidden array. Aesult, they sealed a portion of Senior Yan’s cultivation with the Cultivation Sealing Talisman and allowed her to lead a portion of their elite disciples into the forbidden array. ”

“But unexpectedly, two days after Senior Yan entered the great formation, the forbidden array of the Heaven-Shaking Peak changed greatly. forbidden flood affected the entire ruins of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, and in order to save the other disciples of the sect, Senior Yan had risked her life and forcefully activated the seal to activate the light barrier, allowing the dozen or so elite disciples of the sect to escape. On the other hand, she and a few disciples who did not manage to escape in time were swept away by the forbidden flood.

Adept Qing Feng finally understood why Lu Yizhen had been so hostile when he first saw him, because in his opinion, if not for the fact that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had always been at the entrance to the passage preventing the various factions from entering, and had a huge battle with the various factions, there would not be anyone from breaking into the forbidden array with their cultivation sealed. If they did not do that, Yan Qinxi would not have followed suit and at the same time, she would not have been trapped in the forbidden flood.

Lu Yizhen sighed, and said: “Speaking of which, my Tan Xi Sect is really not good at array formations. Not to mention comparing with the Heaven-Shaken Sect and the Zhuge family, even if compared to the Yuxiao Sect and the Jade Sword Sect, I am still inferior. Senior Yan was caught in it, but we are helpless.”

Yang Junshan’s face sank, but his eyes flashed quickly. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice: “Can she confirm that she’s still alive?”

Lu Yizhen nodded his head, “Actually, I rushed here from the Xi’an County after receiving the news. After I received the news, the sect immediately scouted the Soul Hall, but Senior Sister Yan’s Soul Lamps were still lit, but they have become much weaker, perhaps because her cultivation is still sealed, or because she was severely injured, but she is definitely still alive.”

Yang Junhao only heard a little about the relationship between Yang Junshan and Yan Qinxi. He couldn’t help but say, “Didn’t you say just now that she took a risk and broke the seal?”

Lu Yizhen looked at Yang Junhao, and said: “Martial Uncle Yan ialisman crafting master, and Senior Sister Yan is his biological daughter.

Yang Junhao did not care about Lu Yizhen’s tone at all, and instead sighed: “Master level Symbol Master, what a guy, you’re almost catching up to my fourth brother’s ability.”

Yang Junshan nodded, his gloomy face becoming slightly better, he asked anyway: “When you received the news, the other four formation masters were already there, did they go to Heaven-Shaking Peak?”

Lu Yizhen nodded his head, and said: “Such a big thing happened, forget about the four great formation masters, in truth, all the formation masters of the various families were gathered in the vicinity of the Heaven-Shaking Peak because they were unable to pass through the passage, so they immediately began their deductions. It is said that at that time, there were many formation masters who were either too deep in or near the periphery of the forbidden array, and were caught up in the large scale forbidden flood explosion, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.”

Yang Junshan immediately asked again, “Then what did the four array masters say? What exactly caused this forbidden flood to happen?”

Lu Yizhen shook his head, “At that time, I was already on my way to Xishan Village, so I’m not very clear about what had happened in the last two days.”

Yang Junshan then looked at Adept Qing Feng, only to see him smiling bitterly: “It was also because of the forbidden flood that Alliance Head Lin sent me to rescue you. In fact, according to our agreement, Brother Yang did not need to head to Yu Cheng so early.”

With regards to the eruption of the forbidden flood this time, majority of the formation masters think that someone activated the forbidden array, and some suspect that it was caused by the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and some suspect that it was the Adept Realm Cultivator who sealed their cultivation and entered the outskirts of the forbidden array, and some suspect that it was caused by some formation masters, and some think that the problem lies with one of the four formation masters or even some of them, and that only they have the possibility of triggering the forbidden flood, and of course, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance that is at the entrance of the peak is also suspected.

“Looks like I got rid of my doubts when I went there late this time around!”

Yang Junshan laughed bitterly, feeling somewhat guilty in his heart. If not for the delay in his journey to the Tuo Wu Shan, he might have arrived in the Yu Cheng in advance, and if he was here, Yan Qinxi would not have risked going to explore the forbidden array. Even if he was, he might have discussed with him in advance, and even chose to save him the moment his forbidden flood exploded.

With the speed of their legs, it took the four of them less than a day to reach the outside of Yu Cheng.

When the four of them just arrived, they had already started to attract the attention of the various auras of the high order cultivator that lingered around the area. However, the thing that made people suspicious was that these auras had only made a slight contact with each other, before shifting their focus once more, and even with Yang Junshan’s arrival, they only attracted a bit more attention, before once again heading towards the direction of the Yu Cheng.

“This situation doesn’t seem right!”

Yang Junhao unrestrainedly guessed, “Could it be that Lin Canghai can no longer hold on and the various factions have already begun to enter the cave at the summit?”

Adept Qing Feng and Lu Yizhen’s expressions changed, but Yang Junshan’s expression became gloomy: That’s not it, someone is fighting in the direction of the Yu Cheng. Let’s go, let’s go and take a look!

Even when the Adept Qing Feng was near him, he could feel a kind of heavy pressure coming from it. Lu Yizhen had even intentionally distanced himself, in case his aura was so oppressive that he couldn’t even use his escaping ability, even the carefree Yang Junhao didn’t dare to spout nonsense. At the same time, they were all shocked at the strength Yang Junshan had displayed.

Hearing Yang Junshan’s words, the other three unknowingly followed in Yang Junshan’s footsteps, and once again, they only sensed the faint spirit energy fluctuations that came from the direction of the Yu Cheng after approaching a distance of one or two kilometers away from him. It was true that there were people fighting with their methods, but they could feel the range of the spirit energy ripples, which seemed to indicate that the person fighting was at the Heavenly Dipper Realm realm.

Was it really like what Yang Junhao said, that someone was fighting with Lin Canghai?
