Chapter 820: Afraid You Wouldnt Return It (II)
Daoist Cangsheng's plan had been flawless. He would mobilize five masters of the Heavenly Origin. Four of them would restrain the Mount Shu Sect's masters of the Heavenly Origin, while he alone would kill Chu Liang. There was almost no possibility of failure.
Yet, unexpectedly, Chu Liang wasn't even on Mount Shu. It was his clone!
Who could have imagined that Chu Liang's cautious actions of sending his clone off Mount Shu while he hid on the mountain had been a facade this whole time? The Penglai Supreme Sect had completely missed the mark.
In that case, there was only one choice left for the group from Penglai. They had to wipe out all of Mount Shu. Without the support of his sect, Chu Liang would never be able to stir up any storms in the future.
The Celestial Cosmic Ring continued to contract, accompanied by rumbling. Most of the Mount Shu Sect disciples still within the sect's peaks began to panic. Some launched attacks at the Celestial Cosmic Ring, but their efforts were futile.
How could the power of a legendary artifact be shaken by mere ants?
They could not interfere in the battle between masters of the Heavenly Origin. Only the Mount Shu Sect's Four Guardian Elders and those at their level dared to remain close enough to observe.
Baize tried to stop the Celestial Cosmic Ring from contracting further, but Daoist Cangsheng hindered her from doing so. Using the power of the Great Dao of Infinity, he trapped himself and Baize in a space where time flowed like a slow-motion recording. No matter who won or lost, there simply would not be enough time for them to stop what was happening outside.
Venerable Wen Yuan was the only one who could do something to stop the Celestial Cosmic Ring. By relying on the Grand Mountain-Protecting Formation, Venerable Wen Yuan could barely manage to hold back the Celestial Cosmic Ring from contracting.
But the rainbow-colored light barrier was shaking violently under the pressure. Furthermore, he was still fending off Daoist Cangqiu and Daoist Cangyun, who were both powerful eighth-realm Eminent Ones. The Grand Mountain-Protecting Formation could shatter at any moment.
Right then, several beams of light streaked across the sky outside Mount Shu.
