Chapter 771: Formation Seal
“Everyone!”
Dark radiance surged from Tuoba Chongyuan’s body. He appeared especially luminous within the formation formed by the great seal. The spear in his hand emitted a fearsome edge.
Quan Yi’s expression turned grim, his heart cold as ice, as he shouted, “So that's your skill! Not even a hundred exchanges and you’ve already resorted to this dharma artifact! How insidious... If you intended to kill us from the start, you needn’t have gone through all this!”
Tuoba Chongyuan remained calm and simply said, “You jest, Fellow Daoist. The Purple Mansion Realm cultivators outside Shengle Heaven are treacherous and the Maha terrifying. As with all things, caution must come first. Treating every encounter as a life-or-death struggle is the way to preserve one's life.”
His expression grew solemn, and his words caused everyone’s expressions to turn complicated.
Yu Yuwei had long since lost his former composure and said coldly, “Fellow Daoists, we are now grasshoppers bound to the same rope, there’s no retreat left. Let’s stop hesitating and act!”
Quan Yi remained silent. He extended his two golden cords, auspicious qi surging around him. He took out two pills from his sleeve and swallowed them, saying heavily, “I understand now.”
There had always been something hidden in Quan Yi’s heart that he dared not say. His Immortal Foundation vaguely sensed fortune and misfortune. He had long suspected there would be no good ending in this valley. He should have fled. But he had been unwilling to abandon his companions, and mindful of dragging his mother into it, he had delayed and lingered.
Now that escape was no longer possible, his demeanor became instantly resolute. His entire presence transformed. The pills he had taken burned through his lifespan, but his aura surged more powerfully than ever.
Li Xizhi did not hesitate. He flipped out a gold-blue pill he had long kept hidden in his sleeve.
The pill was called Autumn Convergence Pill, something he had secretly obtained through Yang Ruizao. Once he had been chased all the way by Dongfang Heyun, he’d realized early the necessity of preparing life-saving pills. Coming north was even more dangerous, so he had prepared well in advance.
