The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

What?!

Wenren Yin still has corpse remnants in the sky?!

What's the difference between this and shouting "Give me eggs at the village entrance!" in the village?!

In an instant, everyone frantically rushed towards the sky!

Even those who hadn't realized what was happening saw the people around them taking off and quickly followed suit.

As Chi Miao watched the light from the array below grow stronger, he couldn't help but feel gratified by his exceptionally clever and rare little brain.

Check it out!

Check it out!

Besides her, who else could have thought of using such a method? Besides her, who else could have come up with such a rhetoric to trick everyone into taking off at the same time!

As for the others that didn't take flight, she sensed their surroundings and didn't recognize any of them.

I don't care if you die or not!

She didn't cause the explosion, how could she have saved everyone? She did her best!

From another perspective, the fact that all her relatives and friends have flown up here shows their trust in her!

As the saying goes, believe in Chi Miao and you will live forever.

Three, two... one!

Explode!

That stupid Heavenly Sword Sect!

however……

"?"

"Chi Miao, where's Wenren Yin's body? I can't see it. Are you seeing things?"

"Damn it! Are you kidding us?!"

Chi Miao looked completely bewildered: "???"

"No... it's me..."

She glanced at the array on the ground and tried to activate it... but it wasn't fully activated. It was just a hair's breadth away from exploding.

Suddenly, Chi Miao froze: "Why?!"

Why didn't it explode?!

Even a formation of this caliber can cause constipation?!

That shouldn't be the case!

"Forget it, it's a good thing we're not going to blow it up. If we blow it up later, everyone can survive."

Seeing Chi Miao's strange behavior, no one dared to say or do anything; they just looked at each other.

The others looked at Chong Shuai and Yan Ge, pointed at Chi Miao, then at her head: "Is there something wrong with her here? Has she gone crazy with joy?"

Just then, everyone heard a series of clanging sounds.

This is??

Everyone looked curiously toward the source of the sound...

The trial bell, and beside it, a mysterious old man with white hair and beard and a kind face.

The mysterious old man tapped the ground with one finger, seemingly suppressing something, and everyone, with a keen sense of perception, immediately noticed—

The tribulation period!

Chi Miao was stunned: "The Supreme Elder?"

She had met this Supreme Elder before when she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He had a very good temper! He even used his beard to tie her hair into pigtails.

Now it seems... it was the Supreme Elder who suppressed the activation of this destructive formation.

No way... you're that strong?!

So, is Nine Swords Mountain really that bad?

And...you came just in time!

What the hell is that stupid Judgment Bell laughing at?! If she laughs again, she'll forge a giant hammer and hammer you for three days and three nights! She'll let you laugh your fill!

Everyone was stunned.

Is he the Supreme Elder of Nine Swords Mountain?!

They actually came out of the mountains?!

The Supreme Elder bowed slightly towards the Judgment Bell and said, "Senior, it's been a long time."

Judge Zhong: "Actually, it hasn't been that long, just a few decades. I just didn't expect... it would still be your Nine Swords Mountain."

He was born only a few times, and twice in a row, he was born at Nine Swords Mountain.

The middle-aged men of Nine Swords Mountain were the most concerned about their reputation, and they couldn't help but blush when they heard this.

The Supreme Elder didn't react much. After a humble greeting, he didn't hide his protectiveness: "Even if it's Nine Swords Mountain, that's no reason for you to bully my disciples and grandchildren like this. Look at the children, they're all pale with fright."

Judge Zhong: "But don't you think it's interesting? If we wait for her to grow up, we won't have this kind of opportunity anymore."

"Now's the time to see her stomp her feet in anger."

Chi Miao finally understood.

Go with the flow...

"So you, you broken bell, already knew my Supreme Elder was coming?!"

"Are you trying to scare me? Are you playing me?!"

Trial Bell: "Clang clang clang~~"

A doting smile~~

Chi Miao took a deep breath, then forced a not-so-pleasant smile: "I'll remember this grudge! One day, I'll forge a giant iron hammer and beat you for three days straight, I'll let you have your fill of hammering!!"

The judge fell silent upon hearing this.

A moment later, she said, "How did you come up with this trick? Don't you think you're being vicious?"

Chi Miao: "Is this all you know?"

The judge, Zhong, said nervously, "No...nothing, you're just hallucinating."

Chi Miao squinted: "It can't be...?"

She must have treated you like this in her past life.

So now you're taking your revenge on her.

The others were completely confused and found it all very confusing.

What are you saying? Why can't they understand?!

and……

"What happened to the remains of Wenren Yin's body?"

Chi Miao was speechless: "...Look at how pathetic you all are, it's truly shameful."

Everyone blushed: "Well...that's a corpse of a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, it's rare! We can take it back for research, okay!"

Just then, the Supreme Elder coughed lightly.

Then, his voice resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect:

"Everyone, I must first apologize on behalf of my disciple Chi Miao. Her statement about the remnants of Wenren Yin's corpse is entirely untrue."

"However, she was doing it for everyone's own good."

The crowd asked, "Venerable One, what do you mean by that?"

The Supreme Elder said, "Everyone can look at the ground."

Everyone looked down.

"Can you see any lines?"

"Oh, I see it. The pattern is quite pretty."

Chi Miao was speechless and rolled her eyes: "You're still praising how beautiful it is? Can't you ten major sects even form a formation master? You can't even recognize formations? This thing is a giant, destructive formation. Once activated, the entire Heavenly Sword Sect will explode along with you."

"I was just trying to trick you into running away as soon as possible, but my Supreme Elder managed to suppress you all."

Everyone: "Huh???"

What the heck? A colossal, destructive formation?!

"Is this really true?!"

Grand Elder: "Hmm."

The single word "um" almost made everyone faint; the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became!

The Supreme Elder said, "I suggest that you all fly higher as soon as possible. The activation of this formation is irreversible, and it is unnecessary to waste spiritual energy here."

That means...

I'm letting go now. Those who don't want to die, hurry up and fly away.

These words frightened everyone so much that they quickly flew into the air.

Seeing this, the Supreme Elder stopped.

A massive, devastating array has been activated!

In an instant! A white light shot into the sky! The immense power seemed capable of engulfing and destroying everything! The Heavenly Sword Sect disintegrated at a visible speed, and fragments flew into the sky along with the white light.

"boom--!!"

The violent explosion nearly pierced their eardrums. If the Supreme Elder hadn't casually drawn a defensive circle to encircle everyone, they would probably have been half-dead from the explosion.

The entire Heavenly Sword Sect territory was completely destroyed!

In an instant, it was razed to the ground...

Such terrifying power is enough to send chills down one's spine.

If they had stood there like idiots, they would have been reduced to ashes too!

They breathed a sigh of relief.

And it was in that very instant.

A voice suddenly came from the side:

"You're celebrating too soon. The most terrifying aspect of this explosion isn't its power. The real reason Wenren Yin set up this formation back then was—"
