These formation flags were going to be used to trap the special Birth Chart Beast. They were left here in advance to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and Primal Qi. Once they were activated and turned into a flag formation, it would be easy for them to take down the special Birth Chart Beast.
Now that Tian Ming had activated the formation ahead of time, how could the white-clad cultivator not be angry?
The white-clad cultivator urged the white mystic bird to fly higher up in the sky. At this time, from his high vantage point, he finally saw two people trapped in the triangular formation. He did not pay them any attention and flew toward the fierce beasts that were flying in different directions at lightning speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just a moment, the sky was filled with energy sabers and energy swords. Following that, a white astrolabe would appear and disappear every once in a while.
The commotion lasted for an hour before silence finally returned.
.
The white-clad cultivator flew back on the white mystic bird. At this moment, he was putting the life hearts from the Birth Chart Beasts that he had just obtained into a floral bag. He nodded in satisfaction as he muttered to himself, “My luck’s not bad. There are really more Birth Chart Beasts in the Southern Kingdom. To think the Black Tower Council had been secretly capturing Birth Chart Beasts here. How despicable!”
After he put the bag away, he flew to the top of the triangular formation again. Then, he looked down at Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai who were trapped and asked icily, “You killed Tian Ming?”
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong raised their heads at the same time to look at the white-clad cultivator.
Yu Zhenghai asked with a straight face, “Tian Ming? Who’s that?”
The white-clad cultivator scoffed as he pointed at a corpse lying nearby. “Tell me. How do you want to die?”
“Even if you want to kill us, you should give us an explanation, right? Who are you? Why do you want to kill us?” Yu Zhenghai asked.
The white-clad cultivator said sternly, “I’m Nangong Yutian, one of the judges in the White Tower Council.”
“What a formidable background,” Yu Zhenghai said fearlessly, “Do you know who I am?”
“It doesn’t matter. You won’t live long anyway,” Nangong Yutian said.
“My master is the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Yu Zhenghai said haughtily.
“...”
Nangong Yutian looked at the haughty Yu Zhenghai and shook his head as he said, “I’ve never heard of him.”
“...”
Yu Zhenghai felt slightly embarrassed. He grumbled inwardly about the intelligent network of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council. His master had caused such a huge uproar, how could they not have heard about his master?
After calming down, Yu Zhenghai said again, “My master once killed Wu Guangping, the judge of the Black Tower Council, with one palm strike.”
Nangong Yutian looked down and studied Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong who was poisoned before he said indifferently, “It’s good that Wu Guangping is dead.”
“...”
Yu Zhenghai gritted his teeth and said, “He died without knowing why.”
“I believe you. Unfortunately, you still have to die. Those who destroy the formation flags will have to die. Even if the Tower Master of the Black Tower Council comes today, he won’t be able to save you,” Nangong Yutian said.
The white mystic bird cried out again.
Nangong Yutian said expressionlessly, “However, with your cultivation bases, how did you kill Tian Ming?” He had sensed the duo’s auras, and there was nothing special about them.
“You want to know?” Yu Zhenghai said, “I’ll tell you if you step into the formation.”
Nangong Yutian scoffed. “This small flag formation is nothing to me. I can deactivate it whenever I want…”
“...”
“Speak so we can get this over with,” Nangong Yutian said as he shook the bag in his hand playfully.
As soon as his voice fell, another voice that sounded like it came from the depths of hell rang from the north of the ruins.
“Nangong Yutian?”
Soon after, five black-clad cultivators flashed over, leaving afterimages in their wake, before they came to a stop outside of the triangular formation.
Nangong Yutian, who was sitting on the white mystic bird, frowned when he saw the five newcomers. “Blackguards?”
A hint of a smile could be seen in the eyes of the black-clad cultivator standing at the lead as he said, “Nangong Yutian, we haven’t seen each other for many years. Your eyesight is still so bad…”
“You are?”
“Do you not remember?” the black-clad cultivator said.
Nangong Yutian frowned before his eyes suddenly widened. He suppressed his shock and said with a smile, “So it’s the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council. Tower Master Xiao, everyone said you were killed and died in the Black Water Mystic Cave. I didn’t expect you to still be alive.” Then, he glanced at the other man next to Xiao Yunhe and said, “Are you planning to make a comeback?”
“That’s not something you have to worry about,” Xiao Yunhe said.
Nangong Yutian pursed his lips before he said with a smile, “Of course, I have to worry about that. Our White Tower Council loves to watch the Black Tower Council’s internal strife the most. If you’re willing, our White Tower Council can help you. Otherwise, how can one person like you go against the Black Tower Council?”
“How dare you!” Xiao Yunhe’s voice darkened. His majestic aura was revealed at this moment, “You weren’t even born yet when I began to cultivate.”
Nangong Yutian chuckled before he said, “Tower Master Xiao, if I’m not mistaken, your Birth Charts have been destroyed. You’re no longer the Tower Master who could control the world with one hand. Why are you putting on airs in front of me? Do you think I’ll be afraid of you?”
At this moment, Wu Chao, who was standing next to Xiao Yun and had already recovered after being rescued previously, scoffed before he said, “How do you know our Tower Master hasn’t restored his Birth Charts?”
Upon hearing these words, Nangong Yutian’s expression turned solemn immediately, and he retreated a few meters toward the triangular formation.
In the end, this world one still one where strength reigned supreme. The strong bullied the weak; the weak feared the strong.
Xiao Yunhe said, “I didn’t come here to make things difficult for you. I have no intention of making an enemy out of the White Tower Council.”
“Then why did you come here?” Nangong Yutian asked suspiciously.
“I just came to tell you that you can’t kill those two people,” Xiao Yunhe said.
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai, who was still trapped in the flag formation, said, “Tower Master Xiao, I didn’t expect to meet you again so soon.”
Xiao Yunhe glanced at the duo and said, “I remember both of you are only at the Ten-leaf stage. Why did you come here? Do you want to die? If I didn’t coincidentally pass by after attending to some business, no one would be able to save you.”
Nangong Yutian did not expect them to be acquainted. His expression stiffened as he said, “Tower Master Xiao, I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect them. These two killed Tian Ming, a whiteguard, and wasted three formation flags as a result. If I don’t kill them, how is the White Tower Council going to face others in the future? Moreover, are these people worth your protection?”
“No,” Xiao Yunhe said as he shook his head, “I’m not protecting them; I’m protecting you.”
“Huh?” Nangong Yutian was puzzled.
Wu Chao chimed in, “If you insist on killing them, prepare yourself for a life of being hunted until you’re killed.”
“Hunted until I’m killed?” Nangong Yutian laughed. “How interesting. This is the first time I’ve heard of someone being bold enough to hunt down a judge of the White Tower Council. I’m not like you and Xiao Yunhe; I’m not a coward.”
“Their cultivation bases are indeed low. I’m not talking about them; I’m talking about their master,” Xiao Yunhe said.
“Master?” Nangong Yutian recalled the man carrying a saber at his waist seemed to be bragging about his master earlier.
Xiao Yunhe said with a shrug, “In any case, I’ve already warned you. If you insist on killing them, by all means, go ahead…” Then, he placed his hands on his back and turned away from the flag formation.
Nangong Yutian’s smile vanished immediately. He shifted his gaze away from Xiao Yunhe to the calm Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. He was not one to easily believe other people’s words, but there was no harm in being careful. In the end, he looked at Yu Zhenghai and said, “Call your master over. I’ll spare you for now. However, the whiteguard can’t die in vain. If I don’t get a satisfactory explanation, even if Tower Master Xiao speaks on your behalf until the sky falls, I still won’t let this matter slide.”
Nangong Yutian decided to take a step back for now. He needed to guard against Xiao Yunhe and also the possibility that Xiao Yunhe was telling the truth.
Yu Zhenghai shook his head and said, “I’m afraid you’re not worthy of meeting my master.”
Xiao Yunhe. “...”
Xiao Yunhe coughed and said, “Little brother, it’s better to be cautious about this matter. Nangong Yutian is a judge from the White Tower Council.” It was clear he was trying to tell Yu Zhenghai to invite his master over. He believed the duo’s master should be nearby.
Yu Zhenghai said, “So what if he’s a judge of the White Tower Council?”
Xiao Yunhe said meaningfully in a low voice, “He’s different from the others”
“...”
At this moment, Yu Shangrong, who had been silent all this time, finally said, “My master is busy and doesn’t have the time to deal with these trivial matters. Tell me, what do you want?”
“You’re quite sensible.” Nangong Yutian laughed. “First, you must apologize. Second, the two of you must return to the White Tower Council with me. Third...” He paused briefly before he finally said, “I haven’t thought about the third condition. I’ll tell you once I figure it out.”
“I hope that you can maintain your arrogance when you meet my master...” Yu Shangrong said indifferently as he held a talisman between two fingers and lit it up.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yunhe knew it would be difficult to bring the duo away, but he thought it should not be a problem to protect them for a little longer. Thus, he said with a smile, “Then, I’ll accompany the two little friends…”
