The expression of the young man changed. He was already a Sword Cultivator in the late stage of orifice transforming, and though the burst of Sword Qi was extremely strong, he didn't expect that it would be so easily clamped by the opponent!
The strangest thing was, the sword he controlled seemed to only extend its Qi to the blade, while the tip of the sword felt as if it had lost control, utterly devoid of strength, and no matter how he drove his Spiritual Power, he couldn't manage it.
"I am not the so-called member of the Yi Trib, if you can understand my words," Xiang Beifei said calmly.
"Still daring to argue! With your strange attire, you are not one of us from the Floating Immortal Isles, but you sneak around and damage our Formation Stones. Just surrender now!" the young man shouted again.
Xiang Beifei touched his forehead, now in an awkward situation. He had recognized that the stone was part of a Formation, so he had wanted to test it, but he hadn't expected that the people here could actually see him, catching him red-handed and leading to this misunderstanding.
The young man tried to pull back his sword to attack Xiang Beifei again, but as soon as he exerted force, he found his sword wouldn't budge, and his hand slipped off the hilt.
"So powerful! This person has a very high cultivation! He must be a spy from the Yi Trib; no, I must notify others!"
The young man's thoughts raced, and with a loud shout, a powerful fluctuation emanated from his body, accompanied by a sharp cry that exploded above him and traveled far.
The signal dispersed, alarming the passersby in the vicinity.
"Quick! Jing Hong is over there!"
Many who originally flew past on their swords turned their heads towards this direction upon sensing the disturbance, and saw the figure of Xiang Beifei, immediately turning and rushing over.
At that time, several terrifying presences also burst out from a majestic hall in the distance, pressing towards this area!
Xiang Beifei felt a slight shock in his heart, recognizing them as masters of the Heavenly Connection realm!
Not only that, but among those presences, there seemed to be an overwhelming force, like dark clouds over the city, making him feel extremely oppressed!
It was that force again!
Without any hesitation, Xiang Beifei immediately dropped his sword and turned around to flash away, flying towards the outside of the isles.
If this young man in the orifice transforming stage could deploy Spiritual Power against him, it meant that other masters of the Heavenly Connection realm could as well. Facing masters of the Heavenly Connection realm, he had no chance of winning, let alone when there was also a terrifying great power present.
"Sect Leader, hurry! There's a Yi Trib impersonator invading our Floating Immortal Isles!" the young man shouted urgently.
A powerful presence instantly locked down the entire floating isle. Just as Xiang Beifei thought of leaping off the isle, he saw a terrifying wave of Spiritual Power blocking his path. Not daring to confront it, he turned and flew towards a vast courtyard, disappearing among the buildings.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost at the moment Xiang Beifei had fled, numerous powerful figures appeared in the air, landing beside the young man. Each of these individuals had an extraordinary aura, led by several older men with flying beards, looking like immortal elders, vigorous and spirited, but now with solemn expressions.
"Jing Hong, what happened?" an elder in a gray Daoist robe asked in a deep voice.
The young man, addressed as Jing Hong, immediately responded respectfully, "To the elders, just now, an intruder destroyed our Formation Stone of the Floating Immortal Isles! Look!"
Jing Hong pointed to the stone that Xiang Beifei had shattered.
The elder in the gray robe said, "Each Formation Stone of the Floating Immortal Isles is interconnected, with very powerful defenses. To just destroy one is not easy..."
But as his gaze fell on the destroyed stone, his expression changed drastically, exclaiming, "How is this possible? Even someone in the late stages of Heavenly Connection shouldn't be able to destroy a Formation Stone!"
The Formation between each stone was integral, solid as rock. Attempting to destroy one would face the full resistance of the Formation, making it practically impossible for ordinary people to break one.
Yet this Formation Stone had been shattered just like that!
Among the crowd, a tall middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold crown stepped forward, appearing beside the broken stone. This man had a robust and upright stature, an impressive demeanor, and an extremely deep and restrained aura, making it difficult to gauge his strength.
He carefully examined the shattered stone, his expression growing more serious.
"This is a very strange type of Spiritual Power, never seen before. This force seems to have blocked and cut off other spiritual energies of the Formation, then destroyed this stone," the middle-aged man observed sharply, having spotted how Xiang Beifei had demolished the stone.
"Who would possess such formidable capabilities that could block and cut off the Formation of our Floating Immortal Isles?" the elder in the gray robe exclaimed in surprise.
"Jing Hong, where did the intruder go now?" the middle-aged man turned and inquired.
Feeling the gravity of the situation, a person capable of destroying a Formation Stone was not ordinary!
"Sect Leader, just after I sent the signal, he immediately fled with great speed. I couldn't stop him!" Jing Hong said.
"I've sealed the Floating Immortal Isles, so he might still be inside!"
A horrifying Orifice Perception swept out from the middle-aged man, scanning the area in search of Xiang Beifei. His Perception was like a vast ocean, flooding into every corner of the Floating Immortal Isles; no living creature on the island could escape his detection.
