Chapter 556 - 324: Swing and a Miss_2
No one knew what had happened; the cultivators of Jieshan City could only let the two Great Arhats leave without any means to stop them.
Qianye Temple had a detailed plan for this mission and also had contingency measures for failure.
After flying out of Jieshan City, they once again concealed their aura, planning to sneak back to the Righteous Path’s territory through a channel that had been prepared earlier.
However, as soon as they approached the city’s grand Formation, they discovered that it was in a state of full activation, a state that did not permit anyone to pass through.
Even though the presence of the two Great Arhats remained undetectable, trying to return through the originally planned smuggling channel was now impossible.
This was one of Senluo Sect’s responses after Li Yuanba had informed his sect that he had discovered the trace of the two Great Arhats from Qianye Temple.
By sealing off the Formation at Jieshan Mountain Pass, they had locked the two Great Arhats within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
These were Great Arhats, after all; killing two Great Arhats was indeed a means for Senluo Sect to significantly weaken Qianye Temple’s foundation.
The Great Arhats are those who have hope of becoming Venerables, having emerged from countless competitors to become the core of their sects after hundreds of years of tempering.
No longer could they be called mere geniuses; their status in Qianye Temple was exceedingly high, the strongest presence beneath the Venerables.
Most crucially, they had mostly realized their potential, with just the final step remaining—if successful, they would become one of the strongest existences on the Beishu Continent.
Thus, upon receiving Li Yuanba’s message, Senluo Sect immediately ordered the sealing of the Jieshan Mountain Pass.
