Song Yan Ning, Qin Yushen, and Elder Mie Yu had just stepped out of the Defensive Formation when they were immediately swept up by wave after wave of ax glints.
Qin Yushen and Elder Mie Yu simultaneously drew out their Magic Artifacts to confront the assailants.
She Tan! Song Yan Ning joined the battle, calling out She Tan at the same time.
As soon as She Tan emerged from the Spiritual Pearl and saw the scene before him, he licked his lips excitedly. "Young Master hasn’t fought in a long time, hahaha..." While speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of green light and joined the fray.
Song Yan Ning curved her lips into a smile, battling the Cultivators rushing toward her while finding momentary breaks to deploy talismans and set up an Array. The combined forces of the sects ambushing Tianyi Gate amounted to at least tens of thousands, and the three of them alone were certainly no match for them. Therefore, she had to resort to the power of the Array.
She’s setting up an Array, stop her quickly! said Elder Liu, his pupils constricting as he shouted at the others upon noticing Song Yan Ning continuously scattering talismans. If he was not mistaken, the Protective Array of Tianyi Gate had also been reinforced by Song Yan Ning. He was an Array Master himself and could naturally tell that Song Yan Ning’s skill with Arrays was far superior to his own.
The number of Cultivators surging toward Song Yan Ning increased instantly. Even with her formidable strength, Song Yan Ning could not easily set up an Array while engaged in combat.
Qin Yushen moved behind Song Yan Ning, his Magic Artifact sweeped, and blood splattered everywhere in an instant.
"You set up the Array, I’ll cover you," Qin Yushen said with determination in his tone.
"Mm," Song Yan Ning nodded, her trust in Qin Yushen absolute.
Compared to the fervent battle outside, inside Tianyi Gate was silent as a grave, everyone’s gaze fixed on the Defensive Formation. They could not see the outside situation, but they knew that it was certainly not calm and undisturbed out there.
Murong Liying walked to Murong Xiao’s side. "Father, I want to go out and help Junior Sister Song and the others."
"Mm," Murong Xiao nodded. He had long wanted to go out. This was Tianyi Gate; the sects were attacking Tianyi Gate, and every single one of them had the responsibility to protect it. He could not place such a heavy burden on Song Yan Ning and the others alone.
"Sect Master, I’ll go out and help them," Lin Cai spoke up.
"I’ll go out and help them too."
"We’ll go out and help them too." At first, it was only the Peak Masters and elders of the different mountains. Later on, the Disciples also started to speak up one after another.
Qin Moyang scanned everyone and nodded in satisfaction. "Let’s go, we’ll go out." The most important thing for a sect to be strong is unity. Seeing everyone so united truly pleased him.
Elder Liu watching the sect Disciples who were charging toward Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen retreat one after another, felt both furious and irritated. "Useless trash!"
He conjured a black Soul Summoning Banner, about to strike toward Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, when suddenly he felt his legs go weak, and completely lost all strength.
He looked around and noticed others were in the same state, slumped to the ground, and the battle also ceased at the same time, terror flickering in their eyes. Had they been poisoned? When had the opponent administered the poison, and why hadn’t he noticed?
Song Yan Ning scattered the last talisman, glanced at the people collapsed on the ground, and smiled. She had already released sedatives as soon as she had come out, so she wasn’t worried.
She recalled She Tan and snapped her fingers. The Array she had just set up instantly turned into a cage, ensnaring everyone within it.
Who exactly are you? Elder Liu looked at Song Yan Ning in horror. He had never heard of such a powerful figure in Tianyi Gate, otherwise their sect would definitely not have joined this alliance.
