This worry obviously came from Northmoon. She calculated his flying speed and stopped worrying as a result. Right now, all they could do was buy as much time as possible.
Jia Zhen counted to one.
“Alright, we’ll hand over the Water God Seal!” Ye Liusu said.
Jia Zhen was unsurprised. E Dan slammed the formation with his huge hand and roared madly, “Bitch, hurry up and hand over the Water God Seal!”
Ye Liusu said, “But you have to swear a solemn oath to the heavens that you definitely won’t harm us after you obtain the Water God Seal! Otherwise, wouldn’t we just be idiots if you turn against us after we give you the Water God Seal?”
“Do you really think a bitch like you has the right to make us swear a solemn oath?”
E Dan became more and more furious. The black wolf tattooed on him radiated with raging daemon qi, which wondrously merged together with his aura. His body swelled up once again, and many parts of his body became covered in long, black wolf hair. His mouth protruded forwards, his spine arched upwards, and his eyes shone with a green light. He seemed half-human, half-wolf.
“Alright!” However, Jia Zhen agreed to it immediately, swearing a solemn oath to the heavens. He sneered inside, Do you really think a mere oath can restrain us?
To cultivators, there were indeed a few oaths that could not be carelessly sworn, but these oaths only became a personal restraint when they were sworn sincerely from the bottom of their hearts. Otherwise, the strong could easily overwhelm the weak and make them swear eternal loyalty, or they would suffer the consequences of their oaths.
And, even if an oath sworn from the bottom of the heart was broken, there would not be something like punishment from the heavens. It would only be easier to develop inner demons. Oaths with greater restraining powers required certain techniques or arcane artifacts. However, there was obviously no need for Jia Zhen to take a solemn oath seriously that was no different from a lie through his teeth.
He had already made up his mind. A weak point would definitely appear in the formations during the moment they handed over the Water God Seal. By then, all he had to do was break through and capture all of the night roamers and daemons as slaves. Later, he could sell them off in the Dragon province.
Ye Liusu considered it for a moment before sighing. “Actually, forget about it.”
“What did you say?” Jia Zhen’s face sank.
Ye Liusu ordered Li’l Red, “Use the Water God Seal quickly to stop them for a moment. Sir Northmoon will be coming to our rescue very soon.”
“You bitch!”
Jia Zhen’s expression changed drastically. He never imagined that even ants would be bold enough to fool him.
“Jia Zhen, I told you already. That trick of yours isn’t appropriate everywhere. It’s just some third-rate formations. Even if there were some additional layers, they still can’t withstand a blow of mine. When I get through the formation, I’ll definitely finish off these two bitches!”
E Dan had run out of patience a long time ago. He did not approve of Jia Zhen’s thoughts of trying to scheme around and find shortcuts everywhere very much at all. As he said that, he threw a punch at the formation.
Suddenly, a surging wave slammed against him from behind. His body over thirty meters tall staggered, and the punch landed on the formation, but it failed to achieve what it was supposed to. The barrier of light became riddled with cracks, but it continued to hold on firmly.
It was Li’l Red who had just transformed successfully wielding the Water God Seal.
E Dan was not injured, but he was surprised inside, The power of the Water God Seal is actually so great. It already possesses so much power in the hands of a measly Daemon General who just underwent the heavenly tribulation. If Northmoon obtains it, wouldn’t he be even more difficult to deal with? I need to get through the formation as quickly as possible!
He let out a wolf howl at the sky and launched a flurry of punches with both fists like claps of thunder. The layer of formation collapsed the moment it was struck.
Jia Zhen waved his feather fan around, barraging the formations with various techniques like a thunderstorm. It seemed disorderly, but he varied the type and element of his technique to target the special characteristics of each formation.
Li’l Red desperately controlled the Water God Seal to obstruct the two of them. However, with his cultivation at Daemon General and all the rivers and lakes of the entire Ruyi commandery, he was unable to unleash the full power of the Water God Seal at all.
Most of the formations around the dwelling came from the major protective formations they had stolen from various sects during the war. Although they were already among the best of the best in the Clear River prefecture, these sects were only small sects with Foundation Establishment cultivators. To Jia Zhen and E Dan, two peak Golden Core cultivators, they could only be regarded as third-rate.
Watching the formations being peeled away one by one, Ye Liusu became stern. Ye Liubo looked back and said anxiously, “The altar still hasn't been activated?”
Suddenly, a dark shadow rose up from the centre of the island, which made the dark night filled with heavy rain seem even more sunken.
Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo both eased up. They left Li’l Red here so that he could continue obstructing them with the Water God Seal as they flew towards where the shadow rose up from.
In the embrace of a small hill, a pitch-black altar had already been constructed. The altar was carved with patterns that fell in line with the night roamers’ style, as well as countless stars and mysterious inscriptions.
Northmoon had told Ye Liusu to lead the night roamers back underground in the past. Aside from the defences from the numerous formations, the reason why Ye Liusu was bold enough to return to this Moon Court dwelling was because of this altar.
Kneeling night roamers filled the surroundings of the altar. They all crossed their hands as if they were praying faithfully. Power gathered towards the black altar and rose upwards.
Ye Mingzhu stood on the altar with her hair dishevelled, chanting away as her figure danced about madly like the fleeting, drifting shadow above her. It was like her shadow had been blown into the sky by this power, yet it also maintained a connection with her body, preventing it from being blown away.
With the True Spirit pills Northmoon awarded to them, large numbers of night roamers who were caught in a bottleneck broke through the first heavenly tribulation. Coupled with the powerful night roamers that existed in the first place, there were over a hundred night roamers that had undergone the first heavenly tribulation now. And further outwards, there were thousands of regular night roamers that had not undergone the heavenly tribulation, all summoned here to partake in this mysterious ritual. They channelled all of their powers into the altar without holding back.
Seeing this, Ye Liusu relaxed slightly. This way, they could buy a little more time, but she also became rather worried again. Just how much longer could the formations last? But at this point, overthinking would do nothing. She arrived before the altar with Ye Liubo and also dropped down on one knee. Both of them crossed their hands.
The shadow above the altar gradually consolidated. Ye Mingzhu suddenly let out an inhuman howl, and the shadow completely consolidated. It seemed like a two-dimensional shadow had been pumped full of air. It was no different from Ye Mingzhu’s figure now.
Outside the dwelling, Jia Zhen and E Dan worked together and smashed through half of the formations before long. One by one, formation discs shattered and formation banners were reduced to dust. Li’l Red had already collapsed on the ground out of exhaustion.
At this moment, a familiar voice rang out from afar. “My good friends, it’s really been some time! What has brought you to my humble abode all of a sudden today?”
