Chapter 3425 – The Ninth Lord, Wu Chongjiu
It seemed the best option now was to break the formation and go through. Otherwise, to reach the Eastern Victorious Divine Land he would have to take an even longer detour, which was really not worth it.
Weighing the two, Jiang Chen had no choice but to forcibly break open the formation.
“Ten days. I’ll try to break this formation within ten days. Otherwise, there’s no way we can go around.”
Jiang Chen sighed. This Drifting Formation was not too difficult for him. At the very least, this was the only option left at the moment. No matter who had set it up, Jiang Chen could only break the formation first and worry about the rest later.
“I hope this won’t bring us even more trouble.”
Yan Qingcheng said indifferently. Jiang Chen could not care about so much. Breaking the formation as quickly as possible was the top priority.
Jiang Chen rose to the nine heavens, to the source of the formation. He charged at it three times, and even he, a Divine Emperor expert, was knocked back by a tremendous force. Jiang Chen’s heart grew even more serious.
He activated the No Beginning Formation and evolved the formation’s cycle of revolution. Jiang Chen was extremely careful and solemn as he began rapidly altering the formation, evolving the No Beginning Formation to dismantle it. It was not something that could be done in a day. Although Jiang Chen was very anxious at heart, he still had to take it one step at a time.
Seven days passed, and Jiang Chen grew more and more excited. Seventy to eighty percent of the formation had already been broken. In two more days at most, he would definitely break it completely.
“It won’t be long before this Drifting Formation breaks.”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. He was now quite a formidable formation grandmaster, completely unafraid of any formation. It was only a matter of how fast. However, the person who had set up this formation was probably not weaker than him. This person must be an extremely powerful formation genius.
But Jiang Chen did not care who it was. If he wanted to cross this void, he had to break the formation.
Time passed minute by minute. The originally mighty Drifting Formation was at this moment completely broken by Jiang Chen. In the void, a purple ripple spread outward, and the whole sky seemed to turn clear at this moment. A bright smile curved the corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth. They could finally hurry on their way!
At this moment, in Youlan City, in the City Lord’s Mansion, the residence of the Ninth Lord, a middle-aged man in a purple robe embroidered with a wild dragon suddenly stood up. His eyes were fixed on the northeast, narrowed slightly, and his face looked extremely ugly. He said in a deep voice:
“Who dares break my formation! Today I will fight you to the death!”
A voice of uncontainable fury shot straight beyond the nine heavens. The middle-aged man’s expression had changed completely. With the Drifting Formation broken, the people of the Long Family would inevitably attack with irresistible force. By then he would be in even greater peril. His family’s ancestral land would surely be devoured bit by bit, and his own daughter would not escape disaster either. She would surely become a sacrifice to a marriage alliance.
It must be a formation grandmaster invited by the Long Family. Otherwise, who else had the ability to break his formation? The Long Family certainly had no such person. Even in the whole Earth Divine Land, there could be no one like that. Could it be an expert from the Central Region Divine Land?
The middle-aged man’s face grew darker and darker, and he murmured:
“Is heaven going to destroy my Wu Family?”
At the same time, among the mountains north of Fuyu City, a group of people riding flying demon beasts swept across the skies over Fuyu City and began rapidly heading in the direction of Youlan City.
“What’s going on? Could it be that Lord Wu’s formation has been broken? Has the Long Family finally brought in an expert to break the great formation of our Wu Divine Clan?”
“Yes. Is our Wu Divine Clan really finished?”
“Hard to say. The Long Family has been eyeing us greedily for years. Although our Wu Divine Clan is far weaker than it used to be, holding off a mere Long Family should still be no problem.”
“A mere Long Family? Heh, you underestimate the Long Family too much. If it weren’t to protect the Wu Divine Clan and hold off the Long Family, Lord Wu wouldn’t have spent ten years laying down this Drifting Formation in the first place. Now that the great formation has been broken in one stroke, the Long Family can hardly wait.”
Countless people of Fuyu City, and even of the Wu Divine Clan, turned pale with shock, filled with anguish.
The Wu Divine Clan had always been another name for the Wu Family. It had been passed down to this day, which was no easy feat. But the Long Family had long been eyeing them, wanting to seize the Wu Divine Clan’s territory and wipe them out. The experts of the Long Family swept across the void in a dark, dense mass, filling the people of the Wu Divine Clan with heavy oppression.
To the people of the Wu Divine Clan, Lord Wu was their pillar. The Drifting Formation that Lord Wu had poured all his strength into had actually been broken. For many years, precisely because of the Drifting Formation, the Long Family had been unable to launch a full-scale invasion, and countless outside enemies had not dared to covet the Wu Divine Clan at all.
And now, large numbers of Long Family experts crossed Fuyu City, crossed thousands upon thousands of miles, and began advancing on the Wu Divine Clan, heading for Youlan City.
Jiang Chen had no time to look back and kept going. The auras of three Divine Emperor experts were instantly detected by Wu Chongjiu, and he came face to face with Jiang Chen and the others.
Wu Chongjiu was the legendary Ninth Lord, the master of the Wu Divine Clan and the ruler of Youlan City.
“Who are you?”
Jiang Chen frowned, because at this moment Wu Chongjiu was already blocking his way, cutting off the path of all three of them.
“Who am I? Hahaha, you actually dare to ask who I am? You broke my formation, and now you’ve come to mock me? How much did Long Feiwu pay you?”
Wu Chongjiu shouted coldly, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, unimpressed.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know any Long Feiwu either. I just want to pass through here. Unfortunately, you set up a formation over this area, so I had no choice but to break it first.”
Jiang Chen frowned deeply. This guy must be the Ninth Lord the city guard had mentioned.
“Hmph, stop quibbling. You broke my formation. If it wasn’t that bastard Long Feiwu who sent you, why would you make an enemy of my Wu Divine Clan? You and I have no grudge between us, yet you’ve plunged my Wu Divine Clan into peril. I hate it! You bastard, I will fight you to the death!”
Wu Chongjiu roared again and again, shaking the world. Countless subjects of the Wu Divine Clan looked up at this moment at Jiang Chen and Wu Chongjiu in the void, their hearts filled with dread.
“Is this guy really someone sent by the Long Family? It seems the crisis of our Wu Divine Clan has finally come.”
“Hard to say. But even the Ninth Lord has appeared, so this time it definitely isn’t that simple.”
“Sigh. After so many years of peace, is it finally going to be shattered? Our Wu Divine Clan has always been peaceful and never liked war, but in the end, we still can’t escape disaster?”
Countless hearts were filled with sorrow and despair. Once war broke out between the Long Family and the Wu Divine Clan, it would spread across hundreds of thousands of miles. The ones who would suffer would only be the common people like them, along with the weak sects and cultivators. Who would care whether they lived or died?
