Chapter 1814: 1814
"Guild leader, I hate to say this, but you'll have to let them go . It won't be long before the other Ancient Sages in the capital arrive in the palace . Once that happens, we'll all go down together!" Ancient Sage Mo Ling advised anxiously .
Of the Ancient Sages siding with Sovereign Chen Ling, there were still another five of them who were not there yet . The only reason that they still were not there was because the formation around the sleeping chamber had prevented any pulsation of energy from slipping out . However, with the collapse of the formation, there was no doubt that all of the Ancient Sages were already on their way here .
Once they arrived, it would be impossible for them to escape!
As powerful as Ancient Sage Mo Ling and Vicious were, there was no way that they would be able to survive an encirclement of so many experts . Even Sovereign Chen Yong had nearly lost his life, let alone them!
Exhaling deeply, Zhang Xuan forced himself to calm down before swiftly going through the situation once more . "If I make a getaway right now, I'll only be put in an even more disadvantageous position against Sovereign Chen Ling, especially without Vicious and the Dragonbone Divine Spear . Furthermore, given that they have learned that I have come to the capital, they will spare no effort in rooting me out . That might undo all of my earlier preparations . The only reason for Sovereign Chen Ling being so docile at the moment is that he has not recovered his strength yet . Once he has recovered, it'll be a calamity for mankind . We don't have any time to spare…"
There were many defensive mechanisms within the capital, such as formations on the city walls . Of course, given Zhang Xuan's means, he would be able to circumvent them easily . If he wanted to, he could even disguise himself as one of the civilians, and it would be difficult for anyone to uncover his true identity .
However, the issue was that he was not the only one around . Sovereign Chen Ling would surely conduct a massive investigation operation after this matter, and that could possibly root out Sovereign Chen Yong and Ancient Sage Hao Xun . Liu Yang might even be held hostage to deal with Sovereign Chen Yong .
Understanding the intentions behind Zhang Xuan's words, Ancient Sage Mo Ling asked, "What should we do then?"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a brief instant before replying, "Hold them back for ten breaths, and you can leave the rest to me . "
"Ten breaths?" Ancient Sage Mo Ling was taken aback . However, he eventually nodded . "Leave it to me!"
Huala!
Driving his soul energy, Ancient Sage Mo Ling pulled the surrounding spiritual energy and wrapped it around him like a vortex before charging toward the two incoming Ancient Sages . As the powers of the three collided, the surrounding space shattered layer after layer .
As Ancient Sage Mo Ling fought, he shot occasional glances toward Zhang Xuan, curious to see what plans he had in mind . What he saw was the latter floating into the sky and bringing out several thousand formation flags .
They were some of the treasures that Zhang Xuan had harvested from the Temple of Confucius . Every single one of those formation flags had reached the level of grade-9 pinnacle .
Seeing Zhang Xuan's actions, Ancient Sage Mo Ling nearly plummeted from the sky . "Is his intending to set up a formation right now? Is he certain that he will be able to make it in time? Furthermore…"
It was true that Zhang Xuan's prowess in formations was formidable; he had witnessed it with his own eyes . However… they were not in any ordinary location .
They were in Sovereign Chen Ling's palace!
The entire area was filled with inscriptions and formations, and all of them were hindering factors . If Zhang Xuan wanted to set up a formation there, he would have to take all of those formations into account and deduce a feasible way to fit his formations among them all .
Putting aside ten breaths, even if there were a hundred 9-star formation masters, they might not even succeed even if they had a year's time!
The calculation that was required for this compound formation to work was simply too great—well beyond a human's ability!
Hu hu hu!
Before Ancient Sage Mo Ling could recover from his shock, the young man in the sky waved his hand, and the formation flags shot off in all directions .
In less than three breaths, the several thousand formation flags were planted all around Sovereign Chen Ling's sleeping chamber and disappeared from sight .
After doing all of that, Zhang Xuan turned to Ancient Sage Mo Ling and exclaimed, "I'm done . Retreat!"
"Alright!" Ancient Sage Mo Ling hurriedly flew toward Zhang Xuan .
Of course, the other two Ancient Sages fighting him would not allow him to leave as he pleased, so they quickly followed up with a barrage of attacks, attempting to tie Ancient Sage Mo Ling down .
Wuuuuu!
At that moment, a resounding bellow sounded in the air .
"Oh? Sovereign Chen Ling, who are these people? They seem to be quite formidable to be able to corner you to such an extent . "
"Hahaha! I trust that you'll give us what you promised us for helping you . After all, a person as great as you won't renege on your promise, right?"
Following which, several wills swiftly suffused the sleeping chamber, and an incredible pressure pushed down from above .
The five remaining Ancient Sages had arrived together!
