Chapter 137: Breaking Formation
The Moon Worship Sect members also looked up at the Li Shui Sect’s protective array.
They knew that the Li Shui Sect had existed for a very long time, and their own sects were only established later. They thought that even if the Li Shui Sect, which had existed for so many years, had declined, the treasures and wealth within the sect must be considerable.
The Li Shui Sect naturally became a coveted prize in the mouths of nearby sects.
The Dao Realm is divided into six major regions: the Tianlong Imperial Court in the east; the Jidao Imperial Court in the south; the Kaiyuan Imperial Court in the west; the Chongwu Royal Court in the north; and the Tiandao Imperial Court in the center.
Each Imperial Court governs a territory several times larger than the Heavenly Desolate World.
And the current location of the Li Shui Sect is in the east, belonging to the Tianlong Imperial Court.
If it were the former Li Shui Sect, even the Tianlong Imperial Court only had nominal jurisdiction and treated it with courtesy, but the current Li Shui Sect has long since declined.

Cheng Tai loudly said, "Ouyang Feng, why are you hiding behind Shangguan Ling? I didn’t expect the Great Elder of your Moon Worship Sect to hide behind a woman.
Moreover, Shangguan Ling is already so old, and you can still stand to look at her. Tsk tsk tsk, I think you should improve your taste."
As Cheng Tai’s words fell, a black-clothed, white-haired old man with an imposing aura appeared within the Moon Worship Sect. He was none other than Ouyang Feng, the Great Elder of the Moon Worship Sect, whose strength had already reached the fifth stage of Heavenly Immortal Realm.
He had heard all the various sarcastic remarks in Cheng Tai’s words, but as the Great Elder of the Moon Worship Sect, how could he be fooled by such a trick? He naturally knew that Cheng Tai of the Li Shui Sect just wanted him to lose face.
Ouyang Feng did not get angry and said with a smile.
"Brother Cheng Tai, considering that your Li Shui Sect is going to be finished today, I won’t bother with you. My Third Elder, Shangguan Ling, was one of the top beauties in the nearby sects when she was young. Alas, time spares no one, and even you have become an old man. Do you still have the face to talk about others? Hahaha."
Hearing Ouyang Feng’s words, Cheng Tai said, "Old man Ouyang, you just said that my Li Shui Sect is going to be finished today?"
"Precisely." Ouyang Feng replied.
After hearing Ouyang Feng’s confirmation, Cheng Tai burst out laughing, "Ouyang Feng, I think you’ve gone senile. Your Moon Worship Sect and my Li Shui Sect have been fighting for so many years, and you can’t even break our sect’s protective array, yet you say my sect will be finished today. Oh, you."
Ouyang Feng also laughed as he listened to Cheng Tai’s words. He then said, "Yes, your sect’s grand array is said to have been left by your founding ancestor, Yue Li, from the Ancient Era. The fact that this array can persist until now shows how formidable your Li Shui Sect’s grand array truly is.
But you’ve forgotten that everything will slowly deteriorate with the passage of time, and your Li Shui Grand Array is no exception, right?"
As Cheng Tai listened to Ouyang Feng’s words, a bad feeling arose in his heart, just as that feeling arrived.
Ouyang Feng continued,
"Therefore, Brother Cheng Tai, although our sect master isn’t here today, just by looking at our formation, you’ll know that we are determined to take down your sect today. Of course, the first step is to break your array.
This time, it won’t be our sect breaking it."
As Ouyang Feng spoke, he took a step back, and under everyone’s gaze, he made a gesture of invitation towards a Black Robed Hat Person standing behind them.
"Sir, the Li Shui Sect’s grand array relies on you. As long as this matter is accomplished, everything you and the sect master discussed will be given to you, not a single bit less."
After Ouyang Feng finished speaking, the Black Robed Hat Person hummed in acknowledgment. He then took a step forward, without any imposing aura.
The Li Shui Sect members were puzzled and confused by Ouyang Feng’s actions. They had heard clearly just now that Ouyang Feng said this Hat Person could break their Immortal Trapping Formation. How could that be possible?
Cheng Tai narrowed his eyes and looked at the Black Robed Hat Person, saying, "May I ask who you are? Why do you want to help the Moon Worship Sect deal with us?"
The Black Robed Hat Person remained silent for a moment before saying,
"I am merely acting on someone else’s behalf. You don’t need to ask any more questions. Today, your Li Shui Sect’s grand array will undoubtedly be broken."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Tai was so enraged that he laughed instead, "Good, then I’ll see how you break my sect’s grand array."
"All disciples of the Li Shui Sect, pour your spiritual energy into the array core."
After Cheng Tai finished speaking, he looked at the Black Robed Hat Person.
And the Black Robed Hat Person, seeing Cheng Tai’s reaction, also shook his head.
"It’s useless, useless. Perhaps when your sect’s grand array was complete, I certainly couldn’t break it, but now."
After the Black Robed Hat Person finished speaking, he spread his palm, revealing an extremely small and exquisite box, on which were complex runes.
The Black Robed Hat Person muttered some incantations, and the runes dissipated. The box opened with a boom.
Inside the box lay a golden glowing bead.
At this moment, Wang Yufan, standing in front of the Li Shui Sect’s mountain gate, murmured,
"So it’s this thing. No wonder he’s confident he can break this Immortal Trapping Formation."
Cheng Tai was the closest and heard it most clearly.
"Cough, cough, cough, Young Master, do you recognize this item? Can it really break my sect’s grand array?" Cheng Tai asked.
Wang Yufan said with a smile,
"What this person is holding should be a Formation Breaking Bead, if I’m not mistaken. This Formation Breaking Bead should be able to pose a threat to this grand array. Formation Breaking Beads are specifically used by some super sects to explore forbidden lands. I think this person should be from an Imperial Court."
Cheng Tai was startled upon hearing Wang Yufan’s words. Although he didn’t believe that what Wang Yufan said was true, it sounded very plausible. If it were true, then wouldn’t their Li Shui Sect truly be finished this time?
Just then, the Black Robed Hat Person looked up, narrowing his eyes to glance at Wang Yufan.
That single glance directly shocked the Black Robed Hat Person, and cold sweat involuntarily dripped from his forehead.
When he looked into Wang Yufan’s eyes just now, it was as if those eyes had a kind of suction, wanting to directly pull his soul in. And the aura of a superior emanating from Wang Yufan also secretly startled the Black Robed Hat Person.
Wang Yufan was right just now; he was, after all, from an Imperial Court, and he adjusted his mindset in a moment.
Then he said, "This young friend indeed has some insight. May I ask where you are from? Your attire seems different from the Li Shui Sect."
Wang Yufan smiled upon hearing this.
"Are you talking about me? Hahaha, I don’t know where I’m from, but I’ve been here before, so I have a great connection with this place. Do you understand what I mean by that?"
