“No,” the old man shook his head, “I’m not good at mental power to begin with, and just now when my mental power spread out, it was affected by the power of space…”
"...Should we stop?" After a brief hesitation, the middle-aged man looked at the dozen or so colleagues behind him and asked.
“There’s no question of stopping or failing this operation,” a gaunt old man grinned. “The Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram has already been delivered to us. If we were to abandon this operation because of some spatial fluctuation… hah.”
The old man gave a cold laugh and didn't continue speaking, but everyone knew what that cold laugh meant.
"Once the spatial fluctuations subside, we can ask the Necromancer General," a woman said calmly. "We went to great lengths to send him to the ancient battlefield, wasn't it all for this moment?"
After glancing at the woman, the middle-aged man who spoke first nodded, then looked at a bald man in the crowd, "Liu Shan, remember to contact the Necromancer General after the spatial fluctuations disappear."
“…Okay.” Liu Shan, who used to be Liu Shan, had his consciousness erased by Xiao Yan’s spiritual power after the Heaven-Sealing Array that was protecting them showed some fluctuations. Liu Shan, who had become a puppet, nodded blankly.
He glanced at Liu Shan with some curiosity, but since they came from different sects, the middle-aged man who spoke first didn't notice anything amiss. He nodded silently and looked outside the Sealing Heaven Formation, waiting for the spatial fluctuations to disappear.

'Are there really people from the Western Xuan Region in the ancient battlefield?'
In the once chaotic, rocky land… Xiao Yan rose from the dust, shaking his head in slight distress. 'These guys are way too cautious, aren't they?'
Xiao Yan, who was about to continue complaining, paused slightly. Then, wounds of varying sizes appeared all over his body, looking like serious injuries. At the same time, he raised his left hand with some difficulty, and a small cluster of black flames appeared on it.
"Prepare to die, Song Zhen!"
As Xiao Yan roared in an extremely exaggerated manner, Lin Dong, who had just gotten up from the dust, stiffened slightly, and then a scar appeared on his body that was very symmetrical to the wound on Xiao Yan's body.
"Isn't this too fake?" Xiao Yan's voice reached Lin Dong's ears as he threw the small cluster of flame in his hand.
"Just give him a perfunctory answer. Anyway, that guy's mental strength is very weak, not even comparable to a First-Level Heavenly Talisman Master." Lin Dong chuckled dryly.
'What if those two talisman masters come down too?'
'They haven't set off yet, have they? Besides that deacon from Yuanmen, only one old man came.'
Better safe than sorry!
'Know.'
After Xiao Yan and Lin Dong communicated telepathically more than ten times, Song Zhen, covered in burns and various lacerations, finally managed to stand up amidst the dust on the other side. However, the moment he stood up, he saw a cluster of black flames flying towards him.
Even though the Yuan energy in his body had been completely depleted in the explosion, 'Song Zhen' still desperately squeezed his meridians to produce the last few strands of Yuan energy.
"The Gluttonous Demon Armor!"
With a roar, dense black light emanated from Song Zhen's body, eventually coiling around him and solidifying rapidly, transforming into a black armor. Black energy swirled around the armor, accompanied by repeated roars.
呲——
However, the wisp of Yuan energy that Song Zhen squeezed out was ultimately too little. The black armor, shrouded in black mist, melted instantly upon contact with the black flames, just like ice and fire.
Just as that wisp of flame was about to touch Song Zhen's body, a white primordial energy containing life force enveloped Song Zhen's body, and then that wisp of black Nirvana Demon Flame completely disappeared.
"Heh, only treating people from the Heavenly Demon Dynasty? As expected of you," an old voice rang out, the sarcasm in his words completely undisguised. "If I hadn't followed, these two prodigies from low-level dynasties might have been killed by you, right?"
As the words fell, two streams of life energy descended, enveloping Xiao Yan and Lin Dong respectively.
"Huh? You two aren't seriously injured?" An old man landed on the ground and looked at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong with some surprise. "You're just out of Yuan energy?"
"May I ask who you are...?" Xiao Yan did not answer the old man's question directly. He glanced at the old man, then at the middle-aged man with gray hair who was standing next to Song Zhen, and asked cautiously.
"The Daoist sect, enlightenment," the old man said casually, "If you choose the Daoist sect later, I can offer you some..."
"Enough!" Liu Tong frowned and scolded, "The matter of recruiting disciples must wait until the Hundred Dynasties War has fully begun before it is allowed to proceed!"
That's what they say, but normally no one would openly stop such a thing. If Liu Tong hadn't confirmed the disappearance of his array diagram from the seriously injured Song Zhen, he wouldn't have spoken up to stop it.
“Heh,” Wu Dao sneered, “He is Liu Tong, a steward of the Yuan Sect, and is considered the person in charge of this year’s Hundred Dynasties War.”
"What just happened?" Liu Tong didn't care about Wu Dao's slight belittling of him. "Song Zhen, you go first!"
With the help of Liu Tong's vital energy, which contained life force, all of Song Zhen's injuries had been healed. At this moment, he was standing obediently behind Liu Tong with his head down, like a puppy that had made a mistake.
Upon hearing Liu Tong's words, Song Zhen cautiously raised his head, glanced at the old man who had attained enlightenment, and then quickly lowered his head again. "I challenged them to a duel here, but they resorted to underhanded tactics..."
"I'm talking about what just happened!" Liu Tong frowned. Normally, he could have slightly protected Song Zhen, who was likely to become one of the Eight Spirit Generals in the future, but now... apart from Wu Dao standing aside and sneering, his disappeared array diagram also made him lose the will to protect Song Zhen.
Sensing Liu Tong's bad mood from his words, Song Zhen swallowed hard, reorganized her thoughts, and began to explain what had happened in a serious and unembellished manner.
After Song Zhen finished recounting everything, Liu Tong looked expressionlessly at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, who were standing next to Wu Dao, and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
"...The core of the formation used by Song Zhen came from a Shengxuan Realm cultivator." After exchanging a glance with Lin Dong, Xiao Yan cautiously spoke.
"I see..." Upon hearing Xiao Yan's report, Liu Tong's heart finally died.
"The core of a formation set up by a Shengxuan Realm cultivator?" Wu Dao was slightly taken aback, but he didn't doubt that it was something Liu Tong had given him. After all, formations had been lost in the Tianxuan Continent for quite some time, and Liu Tong was just a steward of the Yuan Sect. It was unlikely that he would have such a treasure. "What kind of formation is it?" He looked at Xiao Yan with great interest.
“A fixed space…” Xiao Yan said after a slight hesitation.
“A fixed space? It looks like something passed down from ancient times,” Wu Dao’s eyes widened slightly. “Tsk tsk tsk, a treasure left over from ancient times, just vanished like that… How extravagant.” He looked at Song Zhen, who was looking down, with a strange expression.
Liu Tong remained outwardly calm, but his heart was bleeding. The things he had painstakingly hidden away, just to save face for the Yuan Sect, were now gone... And he dared not tell his superiors about this!
"Since the two of us have intervened, let's consider your duel a draw," Liu Tong said coldly after taking a deep breath. "Both of you, raise your hands and reveal the Nirvana Seal."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong both raised their hands, revealing the Nirvana Seal with a hint of purple-gold color to Liu Tong.
Seeing the Nirvana Seals with a hint of purple-gold in their hands, Liu Tong's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't say anything. With a flick of his sleeve, a burst of energy shot out and directly entered the Nirvana Seals in their palms.
"Consider this compensation for the two of you." Liu Tong said calmly after seeing the Nirvana Seals in their hands turn purple-gold. Then, ignoring Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's reactions, he grabbed Song Zhen's arm, and with a movement, he disappeared from the spot along with Song Zhen.
"Heh, compensation..." Wu Dao chuckled, then looked at Xiao Yan, "Be careful, Liu Tong is petty. Although the destruction of that formation wasn't your fault, he might not let you off the hook."
After leaving those words, Wudao disappeared before the two of them.
"They actually gave us compensation directly?" Lin Dong curled his lip, looking at the purple-gold Nirvana Seal in his palm. "It seems there's no need to keep Blood Shadow and Hua Gu after all..."
In the explosion just now, besides saving Song Zhen, who had released the Taotie evil spirit and exhausted all his Yuan energy, Lin Dong also managed to save the lives of the seriously injured and dying Xue Ying and Hua Gu. But now it seems that it was somewhat unnecessary.
"It's always good to make more preparations," Xiao Yan waved his hand casually. "Now that Song Zhen has been taken away, all that's left is to wait for the Hundred Dynasties War to begin!"
He stretched and looked at the little sable and the others who were flying towards this place from the former rocky area.
"Is it resolved?" Little Marten asked casually after arriving beside Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.
“It’s resolved,” Xiao Yan nodded, “whether it’s Song Zhen or the people from the Western Xuan Region.”
Of course, apart from Xiao Diao, Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yan, the others could only hear the first half of the sentence.
"Are only the two of you alive?"
Before they could exchange more than a few words, a group of people who had met a few times before, led by Lan Ying from the Immortal Dynasty, arrived. However, upon seeing that it was only Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, Lan Ying's words were somewhat impolite.
"And there's Song Zhen," Lin Dong said calmly. "And those three, are they your friends?" He raised his hand and pointed to the air.
Swish!
Everyone's eyes followed the direction Lin Dong was pointing, and three figures were floating silently in the air.
Three figures appeared. The one in the lead was a young man dressed in white robes, upon which a large sun rose. He was tall and slender, extremely handsome, and exuded a unique aura as he stood with his hands behind his back.
Behind the man in white stood two other men with languid expressions. Their clothes were adorned with a sun motif, suggesting they belonged to the same dynasty.
"Qin Tian?" Lan Ying frowned slightly. "Is there something you need?"
While Lan Ying was questioning the young man, Qing Feng whispered to Xiao Yan and the others, "In order to compensate the Tianyuan Dynasty for losing the Immortal Yuan Ancient Fruit and hundreds of millions of Nirvana Pills to Yan Xiao, who was ranked number one on the sect's wanted list, the Yuan Sect suffered a huge loss. One of the reasons was that Qin Tian, who was then in the fifth-level Nirvana Realm, broke through to the sixth-level Nirvana Realm. Now, he has most likely become the seventh-level Nirvana Realm."
However, what's most important to you is that the Tianyuan Dynasty, like the Tianmo Dynasty, is a direct descendant of the Yuan Sect.
Although they couldn't understand what the initial "Sect Wanted List" and "Immortal Yuan Ancient Fruit" meant, Mo Ling and the others could understand the latter part of the sentence. So, subconsciously, Mo Ling and the others looked at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong. The purple-gold Nirvana Seal in their hands was obtained by absorbing the talents of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty.
"Don't worry," Xiao Yan said reassuringly, then stepped forward. "You came here for Song Zhen and the other two, right?"
"I suppose so," Qin Tian said with a smile and a gentle nod.
"He made a serious mistake and was taken away by Deacon Liu Tong." Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Qin Tian's feigned gentleness reminded him of that guy named Yang Hao...
“Deacon Liu Tong?” Qin Tian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then came to his senses. “Do you know why he was taken away?” His voice remained gentle, but his words carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Aren't you a direct descendant of the Yuan Sect? Why don't you just go and ask him when the Hundred Dynasties War starts?" This behavior, exactly the same as Yang Hao's, made Xiao Yan frown even more. He gave a cold reply and then turned away.
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian smiled slightly, sighed softly, and shook his head.
Swish!
Just as he shook his head, a figure shot out from behind him, appearing in front of Xiao Yan in a flash. The figure's fingertips flashed with cold light, and it ruthlessly stabbed at Xiao Yan's eyes.
Click!
However, before his fingertips could touch Xiao Yan, his wrist was already gripped in Xiao Yan's hand, and with a crisp sound, his entire arm was twisted into a pretzel.
"If you want to know, come and ask me yourself," Xiao Yan said calmly after casually shaking off the person whose hand had been twisted into a pretzel. "It's better to have your underlings jump out."
Looking at the guy who had been thrown aside and whose strength was at the fifth level of Nirvana, and then at Xiao Yan's expression, Lin Dong was unsure whether Xiao Yan was not planning to directly confront the people from the super sects, or simply intended to give the people from the Tianyuan Dynasty a warning.
Appears in Chapter 279
After glancing at the Tianyuan Dynasty man whose hand was twisted into a pretzel, Lan Ying and the others looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
The aura emanating from that person was not much weaker than theirs, which meant that he was at least a powerful expert at the Fifth Nirvana Realm. Yet, even such a person couldn't withstand a single move from Xiao Yan!
However, Xiao Yan did not demonstrate this level of ability when he fought Song Zhen before!
In mid-air, Qin Tian's expression darkened slightly. Although he didn't think his subordinate could defeat Xiao Yan, he still found it hard to believe that Xiao Yan could defeat a subordinate at the Fifth Nirvana Realm with just one move.
"What, can't you speak?" After glancing at the person who tried to get up but was slapped to the ground by Little Mink, Xiao Yan looked provocatively at Qin Tian in the air, "Or is it that you feel ashamed that your subordinate's dog is injured, and you're going to take matters into your own hands?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian frowned slightly and gently lowered his hands, which had been behind his back.
Seeing this scene, many people present felt a chill. Qin Tian, who was close to or at the Seventh Nirvana Realm, must be the strongest in this Hundred Dynasties War. Could it be that he is now preparing to lower himself and attack Xiao Yan, who is only from a low-level dynasty?
Xiao Yan stared at Qin Tian, whose hands were hanging down, his eyes flashing with cold light. After breaking that man's hand earlier, he realized that this guy, who was too similar to Yang Hao in every aspect except for strength, made him a little excited. But if Qin Tian really made a move, even if it meant destroying the Yuan Sect, he would kill Qin Tian directly.
Although he didn't know what Xiao Yan was thinking at the moment, Lin Dong still stood by Xiao Yan's side without hesitation. Although his body was a little thin, the Yuan energy surging around Lin Dong reminded Qin Tian that this was a strong person who was no weaker than Xiao Yan!
Xiao Yuan stood behind Xiao Yan without hesitation. All her achievements today were brought about by Xiao Yan. This alone was enough for her to stand firmly on Xiao Yan's side in everything.
Xiao Yan's burly figure stood directly behind Lin Dong, his black python staff slamming heavily on the ground. The terrifying power made the earth tremble. Although he had a moment of rest, the murderous aura left on Xiao Yan from the previous battle had not dissipated; in fact, it had become even stronger.
The little sable didn't do anything special; it just casually looked at Qin Tian in mid-air, but the oppressive feeling in its gaze made Qin Tian's heart sink slightly.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Mo Ling, Su Kui, Su Rou, and the others did not hesitate at all and stood directly behind Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.
Upon seeing this, Liu Bai and the others' expressions changed slightly. They had thought that Xiao Yan and his group were already incredibly audacious for driving them away from the ancient secret realm, but judging from their current attitude towards Qin Tian…
Perhaps, at the time, simply driving them away was already a concession because they hadn't directly attacked?
