Chapter 2361 Dark Night Devil Formation

Qian Wuji had been extremely frustrated these past few days, as the Four Great Elders of his Sect had all inexplicably vanished.

They were neither alive nor dead, and despite dispatching search parties in various directions, not a single piece of news had returned.

It was important to remember that four Great Ascension Stage powerhouses were half the foundation of the Sect, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

In desperation, he personally left Wuliang Temple to search for their whereabouts, and coincidentally received a message from Nine Heavens Immortal Palace nearby, so he immediately rushed to Tianlong Temple with his people.

Due to his foul mood, he directly ignored Ximen Jiayin beside him and looked at everyone present.

"What exactly is going on?"

In fact, he had already seen everything clearly; his question was merely to assert his position among the crowd.

A gaunt old man stepped forward; this person was Li Qingyang, the Sect Leader of Zhengyang Sect, one of the five Eight-Star Sects.

"Sect Master Qian, Tianlong Temple is currently besieged by the Demonic Sect and is in grave danger."

Great Master Faxiang took a step forward, his palms pressed together: "I implore everyone to lend a hand; Tianlong Temple will be eternally grateful."

"Great Master, rest assured, we will do our utmost…"

Everyone expressed their commitment; in reality, the two Nine Star Sects were still in charge here.

Qian Wuji looked at the dense black mist before him and coldly shouted, "Remnants of the Demonic Sect, do you dare to come out and fight this old man?!"

"Old Ghost Qian, if you have the guts, then charge in and taste my Dark Night Demon Formation."

A cackling laugh echoed from within the black mist, the voice dry and unpleasant, like the caw of a crow in the dead of night.

"Do you think a low-grade Formation can stop this old man?"

Qian Wuji smiled faintly, then waved a hand behind him, "Go, give it a try!"

A burly Disciple from the Sect immediately stepped forward, his wrist flicking to reveal a two-meter-long mountain-cleaving saber in his palm.

This person was a Core Disciple of Wuliang Temple, his cultivation having already reached the Early Stage of Void Tempering, and the saber in his hand was no ordinary item.

At this moment, man and saber became one, immediately emitting a powerful Aura.

"Sever!"

The massive mountain-cleaving saber erupted with a several-zhang-long saber glow, carrying an Aura of destruction as it slashed towards the black mist before him.

Formations are powerful, but they also have their limits; for Cultivators with extremely high cultivation, ordinary Formations can be broken by brute force.

It's like a rope; to tie someone up, it needs appropriate strength. If it's too thin and the person being tied is a very strong man, he can easily break free.

What this Disciple was about to do was test the strength of the Formation before them, to see if it could be broken by brute force.

Everyone else's gaze also focused, wanting to see if this Formation could withstand a full-strength blow from a Void Tempering powerhouse.

Under everyone's gaze, the mountain-cleaving saber fiercely struck the black mist.

To everyone's surprise, the anticipated earth-shattering commotion did not occur; the long saber directly sank into the black mist without causing a single ripple, the previous strike completely swallowed.

"This…"

The Disciple was also quite surprised, but then he felt his hand lighten; the saber he had held earlier had been completely swallowed by the black Devilish Qi, leaving only a foot-long hilt in his hand.

The black Qi continuously writhed, seemingly emitting crunching sounds of chewing, scaring him into quickly retreating.

Even the Spiritual Artifact divine weapon in his hand could not resist this Devilish Qi, let alone a human Physical Body, which showed how powerful the Formation laid by the Demonic Sect was!

Everyone else was the same, each secretly clicking their tongues in amazement.

Although hundreds of Cultivators had gathered, only a few had truly reached the Dongxu Realm or above in cultivation.

Seeing that even the powerhouse from Wuliang Temple was helpless against this black Qi, how could they dare to even try?

At this moment, the crow-voiced person within the black Qi laughed again: "Hahahaha, I told you long ago, you trash can't possibly break my Dark Night Demon Formation.

This time, our Demonic Sect is determined to succeed; the reason we set up this Formation is to prevent you people from providing aid.

I'll tell you this: today, Tianlong Temple is doomed, and no one can save it!"

After speaking, that person again burst into a wild and arrogant laugh.

Qian Wuji's face turned extremely ugly; he had stepped forward first, but now he had returned without success and was being mocked, which made him lose face.

"Sect Master Ximen, how about we two join forces?"

He had truly used all his strength in that last sword strike; if he couldn't break the Formation under such circumstances, he could only seek help from Ximen Jiayin.

"Alright!"

Ximen Jiayin readily agreed, not taking his previous rudeness to heart at all.

People's moods change; now that she and Zhang He had cultivated together, her cultivation had progressed again, subtly nearing the Bottleneck of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, so how could she bother with such a small matter?

The two joined forces, standing to the left and right of the black Qi, each holding their long swords.

"I'll go first!"

Qian Wuji shouted, once again swinging the Dragon-Patterned Sword in his hand, bringing forth an overwhelming Aura as it slashed towards the black Qi.

Immediately following, Ximen Jiayin also moved, her treasured sword erupting with a sky full of Sword Qi, striking the exact same location as Qian Wuji.

The two could be said to have tacit cooperation, attacking the same position one after another.

The superimposed effect of such an attack was definitely greater than one plus one equals two; an ordinary Formation would absolutely not be able to withstand it.

They still underestimated the Formation set up by the Demonic Sect this time; although the two's attacks were extremely sharp, they only caused the black mist to sway for a moment, and then it swallowed the overwhelming Aura cleanly.
