The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1775: Chapter 1872: Sword Shadow Array

“Then what should we do? We can’t just do nothing, right?” said the old man with the snakehead mask.

“Should we inform the other factions about the array?” Silver Fox said.

Fang Lin shook his head, “For now, let’s not act rashly. We still don’t know what the Sealing Sword Pavilion intends to do.”

Even so, Fang Lin took out the lotus platform artifact from the Nine Palace Bag and secretly activated it, finding that the lotus platform artifact was still usable.

“With this item, we can safely get out,” Fang Lin said through sound transmission, putting the lotus platform artifact back into the bag, his expression calming significantly.

The few nodded slightly. They were all aware that Fang Lin possessed a lotus platform artifact that could instantly transport people a certain distance, the distance being dependent on the user’s cultivation—the higher the cultivation, the farther the transmission could be.

With this item, even if the Sealing Sword Pavilion truly activates an array intending to trap everyone present, the Sky Swallowing Palace would still have the ability to leave and would not be trapped here.

Buzz!!!

At this moment, a bizarre sound suddenly echoed from the sky, followed by the sight of countless sword shadows gathering.

If the factions could not sense such commotion, they might as well be wooden, and immediately, they all looked up at the sky, bewildered and completely unaware of what was happening.

“What’s going on here?”

“Why is there an array covering us? When was it set up?”

“What is the Sealing Sword Pavilion trying to do?”

····

All factions weren’t foolish. Seeing the array enveloping them, a vague sense of unease arose, promptly questioning the Sealing Sword Pavilion’s actions.

It wasn’t until this moment that everyone suddenly became aware. Looking around, there were surprisingly no Sealing Sword Pavilion members present, having disappeared without a trace.

Even the slowest to react sensed the danger, each one extremely vigilant, staring intently at the densely sword-shadowed array above the sky.

The duel on the Ask Sword Platform naturally came to a halt. Jian Angxing and many swordsmen also looked up to the sky, no longer in the mood to continue fighting.

“Where is the Pavilion Master of the Sealing Sword Pavilion?” The Tang Emperor stepped forward and shouted loudly.

His voice echoed for miles, yet the Pavilion Master of the Sealing Sword Pavilion did not appear, as if he had not heard the Tang Emperor’s call at all.

The Tang Emperor shouted thrice, yet the Pavilion Master of the Sealing Sword Pavilion still did not appear, not even a single response, with no one from the entire Sealing Sword Pavilion replying as well.

The Tang Emperor’s face looked somewhat unpleasant. He didn’t care if this was the Sealing Sword Pavilion’s territory and directly struck the sword shadow array above with a palm.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion occurred; the Tang Emperor’s palm was quite powerful, being an all-out strike by a Great Longevity practitioner that fell upon the sword shadow array, immediately causing an extremely intense disturbance.

The sword shadow array flickered constantly but was not broken by the Tang Emperor. It shimmered for a while before returning to tranquility.

“Do you want to trap us all here? It seems your Sealing Sword Pavilion Master indeed harbors ill intent!” From the side of the three sects, Situ Yue leaped into the air, executing the Heaven Step, and fiercely kicked the array.

Situ Yue’s kick was formidable, with the Heaven Step’s extraordinary power capable of subduing ten groups at once, yet it still failed to break the array.

“Let me!” From the Taoist Sect, the Black-robed Master of Chongyun Temple stepped forward, demonstrating the strength of a half-step Immortal practitioner.

A giant hand appeared to hold up the sky, colliding powerfully with the sword shadow array, attempting to break it open with absolute strength.

The sword shadow array emitted incessant humming sounds, with strands of Sword Qi seeming enraged, continuously attacking this giant hand.

The Black-robed Master’s cultivation was extremely high, a half-step Immortal, and their full-force strike far surpassed that of the Tang Emperor and Situ Yue.

Yet, even with the Black-robed Master’s power, it was unable to break the array. The giant hand, continually assaulted by Sword Qi, finally collapsed and scattered, with the array still intact and seemingly unaffected.

At this point, everyone’s expressions turned quite grim. Three formidable figures took action in succession, unable to shake the array, let alone others.

“What on earth is happening?” someone shouted angrily, but no one responded.

The Black-robed Master attacked again, their entire cultivation surged, exhibiting Taoist Sect secret skills within their hands.

The Yin Yang Two Energies converged, forming a realm, and the Black-robed Master, wielding the power of the world in their palms, fiercely struck the array.

Rumble!!!!

This time, the array responded significantly. Countless Sword Qi surged down like a storm, fiercely attacking the Black-robed Master.

The Black-robed Master’s expression slightly changed, using their cultivation to protect themselves and summoned their Taoist sword, attempting to fend off the incoming Sword Qi.

However, unexpectedly, these Sword Qi seemingly ordinary were extremely powerful. Despite the Black-robed Master’s profound strength, after blocking a dozen or so Sword Qi, they were already unable to sustain, being directly knocked to the ground.

Although uninjured, the Black-robed Master deeply felt the array’s formidable nature—not only extremely sturdy but also possessing very potent power.

The Black-robed Master looked towards the Sky Swallowing Palace group and said, “Now we’re all trapped here, will you stand by idly?”

Dugu Nian said coldly, “You’re not qualified to order us.”

After speaking, Dugu Nian pointed out, a finger light soared into the sky, with the power of an Immortal practitioner, much stronger than the Black-robed Master’s previous two efforts.

Seeing the Sky Swallowing Palace Master take action, people from all factions around showed anticipation. After all, the Sky Swallowing Palace Master was indeed an Immortal practitioner. With her action, even if the array was strong, it should be breakable.

After all, in the eyes of martial artists under the sky, Immortal practitioners represent the mightiest force in the world.

The crimson finger light collided with the array, causing it to shake violently, and the sword shadows within swiftly aimed at Dugu Nian.

This momentum was even more fierce than the attack the Black-robed Master faced earlier.

“Get back!” Dugu Nian snorted coldly, and with a wave of her red sleeve, a piercing zither sound erupted, surprisingly dispersing all the dense sword shadows advancing towards her.

Dugu Nian’s move instantly set her apart from other strong figures; while others faced array attacks they couldn’t fend off, Dugu Nian handled it with ease, unaffected by the array’s offensive.

However, Dugu Nian’s attack had not broken the array either, and seeing the array intact, everyone inevitably felt some disappointment and urgency.

If even an Immortal practitioner couldn’t break the array, then is it impossible to escape? Could it be that they are all destined to be trapped here to death?

“The array is very strong; even if I go all out, I can’t break it,” Dugu Nian said with a somewhat solemn voice to the people beside her.
