Chapter 1907: Chapter 1908: The Cycle of Karma

“The matters of the Human Clan have nothing to do with us, but when your collusion turns against us, isn’t that a bit too much?”

As Bai Qiu spoke, he started thinking about breaking the formation, but this formation set up by hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm practitioners of the Demonic Path was something even Bai Qiu was not confident he could forcibly break.

“There’s no way around it. The three of you are such a threat to our Demonic Path. However, before coming here, the strategist instructed me. If the three of you are willing to betray Su Chengyu and join us, the strategist wouldn’t mind offering the entire Xiao Tribe for you to vent your anger.”

“Screw you! I’ve done a lot in my life, but surrendering is something I’ll never do!”

“Heh, I figured as much. Just as the strategist predicted. In that case, don’t blame me for being impolite. We’ll have to use some forceful methods. Attack.”

As the sinister words fell, the Four Symbols Soul Refining Array instantaneously assaulted Bai Qiu and Long Ao Tian together.

Yet, Long Ao Tian and Bai Qiu had no intention of just sitting there waiting to die, so they joined forces to strike against this formation specifically targeted at them.

Pfft!

Golden dragon blood splattered the ground as Long Ao Tian was the first to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Bai Qiu, who was a bit stronger, though not seriously injured, also understood that continuing to resist would only lead to capture sooner or later.

In the next moment, Ling Xiao finally emerged from the cave.

However, at this moment, Ling Xiao’s face was noticeably pale, looking even worse off than Long Ao Tian and Bai Qiu.

The woman immediately noticed Ling Xiao, sneering as she spoke.

“Another one? Fortunately, my formation was prepared for the three of you from the start. Unless the Four Sacred Beasts gather, no one can save you.”

“Is that so?”

A calm voice echoed from within the cave as Chen Mengmeng slowly walked out from behind Ling Xiao.

The sight of Chen Mengmeng, looking as calm as ever, finally unsettled the woman.

“How can this be? Could it be that the information from Yang Qianyan was false?”

“Yang Qianyan? No wonder the target was so clear.”

Chen Mengmeng spoke softly, then looked at the woman, saying, “He didn’t deceive you. Although I’ve been severely injured before, I’ve fully recovered now, just like that.”

The woman’s voice grew urgent as she listened to Chen Mengmeng’s words.

The Xiao Tribe’s great formation was specifically designed against the Demon Clan, with extreme restraint, making it nearly ineffective against ordinary people.

She was well aware that, for an ordinary person, impossible to break, this great formation could be easily breached by this young sect leader from Qingcheng Sect.

“You all keep these three beasts trapped. I’ll go deal with this person!”

The woman, seeing no other choice, rushed forward, and Chen Mengmeng reacted swiftly, a dozen flying swords emerging from behind him.

Under Chen Mengmeng’s pure sword intent, the Heavenly Gang Sword Intent seemed to have eyes, accurately predicting the woman’s every move, leaving countless wounds on her body within mere moments.

In the brief skirmish, Chen Mengmeng detected some subtleties and spoke softly.

“It seems that even after joining the Demonic Path, Saint Envoy Cang Xue hasn’t grasped even a trace of the Heavenly Dao Breath.”

“Bah! Shut up! This is the normal cultivation path for us. Do you think everyone can be like you, using the Heavenly Dao Breath upon entering the Void? This is the path for us ordinary people. You humans are the real outliers!”

Chen Mengmeng shook his head powerlessly, hearing these words: “No one ever said that entering the Void required mastering the Heavenly Dao Breath; it’s just about finding a path. Even so, like Daoist Wan Qiu from Quanzhen, hasn’t he also forged a path of his own?”

“My master once said, ‘The strong never complain about the environment. The weak, no matter what environment they’re in, are never satisfied.'”

“You shut up!”

Cang Xue, agitated, exclaimed, then summoned a blizzard towards Chen Mengmeng.

“I hate your preachy types the most. I can’t beat you, but so what? As long as I keep you from breaking the formation, those three beasts will still be suppressed by us, and then it’ll be you who dies!”

Chen Mengmeng blinked and lightly flicked his fingers, the three flying swords behind him instantly blocking the blizzard, while he slightly turned his head to look over there.

“So that’s it, that’s your goal.”

Over on that side, Bai Qiu, still struggling against the great formation, couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“How obvious does it have to be for you to see it? Haven’t you been with Su Chengyu long enough to grow more perceptive?”

Chen Mengmeng sheepishly scratched his head: “Sorry, I’m naturally a bit slow. My big brother has told me a few things, but often, I’m a step behind. But I know, once someone says it out loud, it’s most likely true.”

“But…”

Chen Mengmeng shook his head, stopping Bai Qiu from continuing.

He indeed didn’t have as much insight as Su Chengyu nor as much scheming as Xu Nanzhi.

But now, sitting as the sect leader of Qingcheng Sect, Chen Mengmeng has his own way of making choices.

How does being a step slower matter?

As long as his actions are quick enough, isn’t that fine?

“Formation… break!”

With those two resounding words exiting Chen Mengmeng’s mouth, the power of cause and effect in the world rapidly circulated, and nearly half of the mana within Chen Mengmeng was nearly drained in that instant.

The next moment, every array eye making up the Four Symbols Soul Refining Array exploded simultaneously.

Cang Xue’s eyes widened, staring blankly at the blood scent hanging in the air.

She couldn’t understand how Chen Mengmeng accomplished this. To Cang Xue, what Chen Mengmeng did went beyond explaining by the Heavenly Dao Breath; such a brute force method of breaking the formation would be impossible without an Earth Immortal.

“How can this be? How…”

The roar of a dragon and a tiger echoed from the valley, and Cang Xue hadn’t yet recovered from her shock when Long Ao Tian, having broken through the formation, appeared before her.

With a mighty dragon claw, he grabbed Cang Xue’s head and smashed her form directly into the ground beneath her.

“Girl, weren’t you quite arrogant just now? Come on, show some arrogance to your Grandpa Dragon one more time!”

The Dragon Ao Tian, clearly upset by the trick played on him by the woman before him, clenched his dragon claw tightly to the point of nearly crushing Cang Xue’s head.

“Wait.”

At this moment, Chen Mengmeng spoke to halt Long Ao Tian’s actions, walking up beside Cang Xue and blinking as he said.

“Saint Envoy Cang Xue, if I remember correctly, haven’t you already died once?”

Held by Long Ao Tian, Cang Xue sneered and said, “What would you know? You primitive people wouldn’t understand the resilience of our noble Demon Clan’s life force. Killing us is just a pipe dream.”

“As expected.”

Chen Mengmeng confirmed his suspicion internally, then looked at Long Ao Tian.

“Senior Ao Tian, would it be alright if I take care of this one?”
