“Young Master Li, I’ve brought the people, what do you say?” Ouyang Di looked at Li Xiaobai with a somewhat playful gaze.

Li Xiaobai knew the King wanted to make trouble, and the Fire Qilin Cave expert who could have deterred him had already left. Now, his mind was becoming more active.

“You’ve injured my people, a simple compensation of one or eight hundred thousand will do,” said Li Xiaobai.

“Surely you jest, Young Master. You first came here to leverage the power of the Fire Qilin Cave to press us into submission and boasted of your might afterwards, making quite the display. But have you considered the consequences?”

Behind the curtain, the woman spoke again, her voice cold and detached.

“Are you suggesting that you want to make a move against me?”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently, hands clasped behind his back.

“Indeed, Young Master is a clever person. You have a great secret on you; surely you don’t think you can leave the Imperial Palace so easily?” Ouyang Di said with a smile, sensing that the other retainers had already taken their positions.

“Father, no, Young Master Li he…”

“Silence!”

Ouyang Di rudely interrupted Ouyang Shuanger: “Since it’s you who brought him back, I will not deal with you. Just stay out of this and hold your tongue!”

Ouyang Shuanger paused, then edged closer to Li Xiaobai: “Big brother, can you let my father off the hook?”

“Now it is he who wants to make trouble, not me,” Li Xiaobai replied, shaking his head lightly.

“After ascending to the pinnacle of the Confucian Path, one truly becomes the epitome of hypocrisy. King, make your move. If I can’t stand against it, I’ll concede defeat!”

“Grand Array of Immortal Spirit Zhenyuan!”

Ouyang Di’s eyes bulged with rage as he bellowed, and instantly, a dazzling white light filled the hall. Patterns of the great Dao crisscrossed the ground, enveloping the entire palace.

In the void, a figure materialized, dressed in white and holding a scroll, muttering something under his breath.

Behind him roared torrential rivers, transforming into a sea of characters that suppressed the void. In this small world, everyone felt an immense pressure that rendered them immobile.

“This is the complete Liturgy Defiance Chart!”

“Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?”

“This formation draws on the royal family’s fate and can harness Dragon Qi. Your Majesty, we have always been loyal to Zhenyuan Country, please don’t do this!”

“Yes, Your Majesty, please spare us…”

The many dignitaries present recognized the origin of the figure in the void and were petrified with fear. This was a Slaughter Formation created by Great Immortal Zhenyuan; although it was from his earlier years, it was certainly not something they could withstand.

The oppressive sensation alone was unbearable, even for those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

“My dear ministers, rest assured, you are all wise men of Zhenyuan Country. I, of course, will not kill you. Sit quietly for a moment, and once I have captured this man, I will retract the Formation and Divine Skills,” Ouyang Di stated.

“Li Xiaobai, you are far too presumptuous. Even though you are a genius, there is no possible escape from this formation. I am always cautious in my actions. This is a formation left by Great Immortal Zhenyuan from his time, manifested through the dignified energy of the Confucian Path, capable of suppressing everything. Even those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage would be trapped.”

“I’m not afraid to tell you that there are several Tribulation Crossing Stage experts outside the palace, all of whom are retainers of Zhenyuan Country. Knowing you are a genius, I take action with equal caution. You won’t be able to fly away today!”

Li Xiaobai gestured for the Situ Family to move closer to him.

Feeling the values flashing on the System panel, a smile appeared on Li Xiaobai’s face.

[Attribute Points +2000…]

[Attribute Points +3000…]

[Attribute Points +5000…]

Quite good, in just a few breaths’ time, the Attribute Points in my System have already increased by ten thousand.

Worthy of being a formation by Great Immortal Zhenyuan, very effective. However, thinking it could break through my defenses is impossible; if it could withstand attacks strong enough for those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, then naturally, I can withstand them too.

He exchanged several high-grade Golden Body Talismans from the store and tossed them to a few people.

Golden light surrounded them, blocking the formidable power of the formation from the outside.

“Your Majesty, wait, we haven’t exited yet!”

“We are all your loyal subjects!”

The Family Heads of Ancient Moon City were deathly pale with shock. They were only at the Golden Core Stage, and such beings were beyond their wildest dreams. The power of the grand array was too immense, and within it, they felt their very Flesh Mountains cracking bit by bit.

“Since you are my good subjects, then make a contribution to Zhenyuan Country. Once I obtain the secrets of Tangneng First-class, I will compensate your descendants!”

Ouyang Di’s eyes flashed with cold light, his hands constantly forming Seal Spells, activating the array within the entire hall completely.

The white silhouette in the void sighed, hitting everyone’s hearts like a sledgehammer. In an instant, the people of Ancient Moon City spat out fresh blood, their faces listless as they fell at Li Xiaobai’s feet.

“Young Master Liangchen, I know you have a kind heart, give me one more chance, save my life!”

“Yes, yes, Young Master Liangchen, I’ll be your ox and horse, please save me!”

The many Family Heads, like grabbing at the last straw, screamed desperately and frantically at Li Xiaobai.

Situ Yanyu turned her head away, unable to bear the sight.

“I will take good care of your children.”

Li Xiaobai sighed, saying that these people had to pay the price for their actions.

“You…”

“Even as a ghost, I will not let you off…” The Family Heads’ faces were fierce, and they howled madly as the silhouette in the void exerted force, turning these people into a mist of blood in an instant.

Li Xiaobai was speechless. It was someone else who wanted to kill you, so why curse me? These people really were servile, not daring to resist Ouyang Di to the very last moment.

The scarlet mist clung to the silhouette in the void, and the previously pure figure instantly turned into a blood-colored silhouette.

Even the eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glow.

Li Xiaobai was taken aback, was this the true meaning of Liturgy Defiance? Did this Formation replicate an experience of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan from the past? Did this paragon of the Confucian Path also have such moments of madness?

“Destroy him!”

Ouyang Di’s face was emotionless as he spat out these few icy words.

The blood-colored silhouette made a move, reaching toward Li Xiaobai with a shaking grip. Li Xiaobai felt a tightness all over as his body began to show signs of cracking. At the same time, strands of Blood Qi started to invade his body frenetically.

This feeling was somewhat familiar, similar to the Evil Sect Cultivation Technique of the straw-cloaked man from that day. It too had the power to erode with Blood Qi, except the power of this Formation was far too strong, and if this continued, his fleshly body would likely fail to hold up first.

[Attribute Points +3000…]

[Attribute Points +6000…]

[Attribute Points: 30000.]

Put them all in defense.

[Defensive Power: Flesh Sanctification (210000/1000000).]

[Blood Sacrifice Fragment: Four Pieces.]

A series of data flashed across the System panel, and Li Xiaobai sharply noticed the words Blood Sacrifice Fragment.

When these items were close by, the System would provide a prompt. He hadn’t expected to encounter them within Zhenyuan Country, and there were as many as four pieces.

Could it be that these fragments were somehow related to Zhenyuan Country?
