Translator: 549690339
Lin Jing had never had any contact with these people and did not know what kind of people they were.
But…
It’s essential to guard against others, especially at times like this. Who knows what unbearable consequences letting them in could lead to?
Therefore, Lin Jing dared not take the risk, nor would he gamble.
So, no matter what, Lin Jing would not let these people in.
The Red -Robed Cultivator saw Lin Jing’s stance and his face turned extremely unsightly, barely suppressing his anger he said:
“Fellow Daoist is really so heartless, to watch fellow clan members die without helping?”
“That’s right, you all are too selfish…”
“To encounter clansmen in distress and yet do nothing to save them, do you all have no conscience whatsoever?”
“Exactly, exactly…”
For a moment, everyone was accusing Lin Jing and his companions, their words coming one after another.
“Mommy, why won’t Uncle Lin let them in?”
Luo Luo tilted her head up, looking at Ning Yue and whispered her question.
Ning Yue gently stroked Luo Luo’s head and softly said:
“Your Uncle Lin is doing the right thing.”
“You’re still young; you’ll understand when you grow up.”
“Oh…”
Luo Luo uttered an ‘oh’ and then stopped asking further questions before burying her head in Ning Yue’s embrace.
The noise irritated Yan Xiong so much that he could no longer restrain himself.
“All of you, scram as far away as possible.”
“Be careful not to annoy me, or I’ll chop each of you down with a single stroke.” Next to the Red-Robed Cultivator, a man in a black shirt challenged Yan Xiong:
“Nothing but trash at the Qi Refinement stage dares to be so arrogant; just you wait.”
After speaking, he turned his head to the Red-Robed Cultivator and said:
“Big brother, it seems that they are not willing to open the formation. How about we just storm in, kill them all, and seize that Defensive Array Plate?” The Red -Robed Cultivator observed the formation for a moment, shook his head and said:
“This formation is not so easy to break.”
The man in black did not take it to heart and said:
“Big brother, with your Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation and that top-class Magic Artifact, surely breaking this formation would be a piece of cake for you?”
The Red -Robed Cultivator turned to look around. The surrounding buildings were collapsed, and ruins were everywhere. He frowned and said:
“The wave of Demonic Beasts has clearly passed through here, yet this formation remains intact. Obviously, the defensive capabilities of this formation are extraordinary, and it won’t be easy to break.”
After speaking, he turned his gaze back to Lin Jing and the others inside the Defensive Array, and said:
“Fellow Daoist, I’ll urge you one last time, it would be best to open the Defensive Array. Otherwise, with so many of us attacking at the same time, your formation may not be able to hold up.”
“You brat, you…”
Yan Xiong was so angry that he had already grasped his sword.
But he was stopped by Lin Jing.
“Old Yan, stay calm. They are just trying to provoke you; there’s no need to pay attention to them.”
“Rest assured!”
“This formation is not that easy to break.”
Having said that, Lin Jing ignored the people outside and simply sat down cross-legged.
Seeing Lin Jing’s uncompromising attitude, the Red-Robed Cultivator’s face darkened immediately, and with a cold look and voice he said:
“Since that is the case, don’t blame us for being impolite.”
After speaking, he turned around and shouted to the group of cultivators behind him:
“Everyone, seeing as the person controlling this formation is heartless, totally disregarding our lives, we have no need to hold back any longer. Let’s all attack together and break this formation.”
Having said this, the Red-Robed Cultivator surveyed the crowd.
“Fine…”
“If you are heartless, don’t blame us for being unrighteous.” “Snatch his Array Plate; such a treasure is utterly unworthy of him.”
“This person doesn’t deserve to be part of our Cultivation World; I wholeheartedly support taking it from him.”
A wave of righteous indignation surged among the crowd, and they all shouted excitedly.
Seeing the crowd’s reaction, the Red-Robed Cultivator also showed a hint of a smile on his face.
“Everyone, please be quiet.”
The red-robed cultivator gestured with his hand, and everyone immediately stopped their arguing and looked at him.
“Hear me out…”
“I possess a top-grade magic artifact of immense power.”
“I have an idea…”
“When the time comes, everyone will first use their magic artifacts to attack one spot in the formation. Then I will follow up with a subsequent attack. If all goes as expected, there is a very good chance we could break through the formation.”
“What do you all think of my proposal?”
After hearing this, the crowd was initially in turmoil, but then people began to express their positions.
“I agree.”
With the first agreement, the rest began to express their consent one by one.
“I also agree.” “Me too…”
“Same here…”
The red-robed man watched the crowd and nodded with a smile.
“Good.”
After speaking, the red-robed man pointed at a spot in the formation and said: “Everyone attack here in a moment. Once your attacks land, I’ll follow up.” After the red-robed cultivator finished speaking, everyone took out their magic artifacts.
Yet, the red-robed cultivator remained unconcerned.
Thus, someone questioned, “Where is your top-grade magic artifact?” The rest also turned their heads to look at the red -robed cultivator.
“It’s been here all along.”
The red-robed cultivator smiled mysteriously, looking at the person who had just spoken.
That person felt a chill creep up his neck and hastily looked down, only to see an invisible longsword that had appeared without notice.
At that moment, it was silently positioned at his throat.
The man immediately broke into a cold sweat, and those around him also took several steps back.
After all, the situation was too eerie.
“Everyone,” the red-robed cultivator began.
“This is my top-grade magic artifact—the Flawless Sword.”
“When this sword attacks, it is silent, shadowless, and lightless, extremely covert, and also powerful. Due to its invisible and shadowless nature, it’s aptly named Flawless.”
“If it weren’t for the heartless person behind this formation, who wanted us to die at the claws of the Demonic Beasts, I wouldn’t have revealed Flawless; I hope everyone can keep this secret in the future.”
Upon reflection…
Indeed, the Flawless Sword seemed most suitable for surprise attacks. By revealing it openly, wasn’t he giving people a chance to be on their guard?
With this thought, the crowd’s favorable impression of him greatly increased. “Fellow daoist, rest assured, we definitely won’t expose your trump card.” “Please rest easy, fellow daoist. We will certainly keep your secret.”
At this moment, the black-robed man beside the red-robed cultivator also stepped forward and echoed:
“For everyone’s safety, my elder brother has revealed the Flawless Sword, such a top-grade magic artifact.”
“I think, after we break the formation and seize the Array Plate, it should be controlled by my elder brother.”
“I’m sure everyone has seen my brother’s character. He is definitely not as selfish as those within the formation and will surely ensure everyone’s safety.”
“I agree.”
The first to speak was, in fact, the man who had just had the Flawless Sword at his throat.
With him speaking up, the others also agreed one after another.
Finally, no one objected, and all nodded in agreement.
Now that everyone has no objections, then follow my command. The red-robed man turned and pointed towards a spot in the formation.
“Attack.”
Then, in the mid-air, a kaleidoscope of colors burst forth, with the glow of various magic artifacts intertwining together, transforming into a stream of multicolored light, rushing towards the formation with great speed.
This glow turned into a ribbon of color, strikingly beautiful..
