Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: Someone Else Is Undergoing Tribulation
However, the evil entity controlling Xu Caomu is not utterly foolish, it does have some intelligence.
This time, it did not personally delve deep into the array, but attacked from the periphery, searching for the array’s eyes.
Only waves of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals surged into the array like a tide.
Clearly, it wants to use these minions to wear down the people’s stamina within the array, paving the way for its final strike.
As a result, Yang Yan and the others found themselves in a dilemma once more.
The Nine Revolutions Star Array lost its leverage effect at the periphery, unable to fully play its role.
Yang Yan originally thought he could lure the enemy into the trap again, but he underestimated the evil entity’s intelligence.
And wrong judgments come at a cost.
The evil entity’s evil energy was recklessly unleashed, as if it was free, spreading over the array.
Although this array was reputed to be as solid as a rock, at this moment, it was like a water lily trembling in the rain.
Yang Yan glanced back at Lin An, who immediately understood.
He had long been experienced and astute, fully comprehending Yang Yan’s intention.
This was an opportune moment to rally the people and re-engage in battle.
At this moment, when everyone’s morale was declining, someone needed to step forward to boost their spirits and gather them together.
Among them, Lin An had the strongest cultivation, making him the most suitable to take the lead.
He leaped onto a high rock, speaking loudly to everyone present:
"Fellow Daoists, the entire Nine Revolutions Star Array has now become precarious, we are at the most dangerous juncture. If we continue to hide and shrink here, the only path left for us is the road to death!"
"Since there is no retreat, we might as well join forces and fight our way out, paving a path for the younger generations in our sects. If anyone is willing, follow me out to fight."
The people gathered exchanged glances, sorrow written on their faces.
They all knew in their hearts that Lin An spoke the truth.
If they remained passive here, they were waiting for death.
At this moment, the only way was to unite as one, strike when the evil spirits were exhausted, and find an opportunity through offense.
This was perhaps the only way to have a sliver of hope.
"I am willing to fight!" Just as everyone was deep in thought, hesitating, Sect Leader He of the Lingying Sect stepped forward, standing behind Lin An.
"I am now old, for centuries holding only an empty reputation without truly doing anything for the Lingying Sect. Now it’s time to contribute to Lingying Sect and the entire Wandering Dragon Star."
"Moreover, our Lingying Sect is a sect handed down from the Ancient Times. Though we are no longer as powerful as we once were, we’ve never lost our dignity!"
After speaking, Sect Leader He stroked his beard while scrutinizing those around him with a gentle gaze.
Seeing their Sect Leader’s noble and self-sacrificial demeanor, the disciples of Lingying Sect below had moist eyes.
"I agree to fight against the foreign enemy alongside Sect Leader Lin!"
Quickly, another person declared allegiance.
It was Sect Leader Lin Xuanzhi of the Biluo Sect who stepped out boldly from the crowd, moving towards Lin An.
This surprised Yang Yan quite a bit.
He clearly remembered that the young master Lin Hao of the Biluo Sect practiced the Ancient Evil Technique and was an unrepentant demon cultivator; yet, he didn’t expect their Sect Leader to be so righteous.
With the first comes the second.
Moreover, the principle of ’if the lips are gone, the teeth will feel the cold’ was understood by everyone, and there were still people with a sense of justice willing to face death valiantly.
Thus, one after another, sect leaders and experts declared their intentions to fight against the enemy and share the fate of Wandering Dragon Star.
No matter the sect size or school, every sect contributed their highest battle power, while the remaining disciples stayed behind to maintain the array.
This scene filled Lin An with heroic sentiment, as if his boiling blood was about to explode.
How many years had it been since the sects of Wandering Dragon Star were so united?
Lin An swept over the willing combatants, overwhelmed with numerous emotions.
No more need for motivational speeches, just one phrase:
"Everyone, heed my command, follow me, charge!!!"
With a furious roar, Lin An swung his long sleeves and led the charge.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Inspired by Lin An’s cry, the followers’ blood also surged with fervor.
All present were the highest battle power from various sects and schools, rarely involved in battles once they became leaders or elders.
When was the last bloody fight?
Many probably could not even remember.
Lin An led the charge, with the remaining sect experts emerging to resist the foreign threat.
With thousands of experts fighting, the evil spirits swarmed towards the direction of the warriors’ emergence like cats to fish.
The highest battle power of Wandering Dragon Star encountered the evil spirit army, who shouldn’t have existed there, and once they clashed, the superiority was clear.
Although many in number, the evil spirit army was far inferior in skill to the experts of Wandering Dragon Star.
Those daring to fight outside the array were seasoned fighters who walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Who among them did not have battle-hardened experience!
Often, one sweep from the Wandering Dragon Star’s people severed numerous evil spirits in half.
This scene undoubtedly energized the spirits of all present.
Morale soared, and the killing grew more fervent.
The Longsword stained with blood, the battle robes completely red; after only a few exchanges, everyone was seeing red.
Amidst the crowd, Yang Yan, fighting alongside, kept feeling something amiss.
Somehow... everything seemed too smooth.
As if it was all a trap.
This feeling sent chills down Yang Yan’s spine.
The crowd fought on for a long time without spotting Xu Caomu and the two others controlled by evil spirits.
Initially, they thought Xu Caomu was observing secretly, planning to strike in the chaos.
But as time passed, Yang Yan sensed something off.
Evil spirits had already died in large numbers, ostensibly the time for Xu Caomu to appear.
Yet, for some reason, still no movement.
If someone claimed the three had fled, Yang Yan would never believe it.
But where could they possibly have gone?
While Yang Yan was perplexed, a bolt of thunder erupted, startling those battling the evil spirits who turned to the sound’s source.
A mountaintop about a hundred miles away was where the sound came from.
And atop that mountain, thunderclouds loomed!
Soon, spiritual power in the world became tumultuous, as a massive attraction surged from the mountaintop, like water rushing in, forming a vortex-like tornado.
The spectacle was astonishing.
Even Yang Yan, not to mention Lin An, had never seen such a grand display!
It seemed as if it intended to absorb all the spiritual power of Wandering Dragon Star.
The clouds overhead were pitch-black, as if erasing something that shouldn’t exist in this world.
In that moment, many felt the oppression of the Heaven and Earth Laws!
Unlike others’ ascension, Yang Yan could feel this was no avatar of the Heaven and Earth Laws, but the real force!
And the person transcending seemed to want to contend with the heavens themselves.
