Martial Master

As a seventh-level Royal Rank Refiner, when refining royal weapons, it is naturally necessary to inscribe high-level formations on the weapons. Therefore, this elder is also a seventh-level formation master, and his understanding of formations is extraordinary.

With his vision, he can naturally see some clues.

"Everyone, listen to the opinions of Pavilion Master Shangguan Lu and the elder; it's best to gather together."

Zhao Tiansheng and Jiang Wutou also shouted in agreement. The four of them joined forces, and in an instant, a array of flags appeared in their hands, swiftly thrown out in all directions.

In this critical moment, although Li Xuanji and the other ancestors of the top royal dynasties were clearly much stronger than Pavilion Master Shangguan Lu and the others, they still followed the suggestions of Shangguan Lu and quickly gathered together.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The array flags were rapidly thrown out. Shangguan Lu and the others were sweating profusely, not daring to be careless under the attacks, constantly setting up the array flags.

Li Xuanji and the others also realized the severity of the situation and quickly closed in. The seven top experts of the royal dynasties formed a protective circle, shielding the core members in the center.

This was a routine they had long established; whenever they encountered danger, the strongest ancestors of the seven royal dynasties would be responsible for defense, protecting everyone, while Pavilion Master Shangguan Lu, Zhao Tiansheng, and Elder Su would find a way to solve the problem and help everyone through the danger.

"Pavilion Master Shangguan, since you say this is an eighth-level formation, is there a way to crack it?"

The ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuanji, called out anxiously.

The others also turned to look.

As they saw everyone joining forces, the attack of the black malevolent energy became even more frantic. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Almost every moment, a Martial King fell, a scene of terror, turning into dried corpses.

These were the mainstays and core figures of various major powers. The fall of any one of them was a tremendous loss for the royal dynasties, difficult to recover from.

"We haven't figured out the way to crack it yet. The urgent matter is to first set up a barrier formation to isolate the outside formation's attacks, and then think of how to crack this grand array," Shangguan Lu said solemnly.

"Barrier formation?"

Li Xuanji and the others were taken aback.

It was Qin Chen who, with a focused gaze, couldn't help but nod slightly.

The so-called barrier formation is a very special formation. Once set up, it can often isolate the power of the external formations. This means that the attacks from the external formations will be significantly weakened.

The formation in front of them in this palace was extremely powerful, at least an eighth-level formation. Under normal circumstances, cracking it would definitely not be an easy task.

If they were to slowly crack it, they would probably not have time to find the flaws in the formation before the numerous martial artists around them would have already suffered heavy losses.

However, if they quickly set up a barrier formation, it could weaken the external grand array. Although it wouldn't completely free them, it would at least provide them with some time to consider how to escape.

Thinking of setting up a barrier formation at the first opportunity in such a situation showed that Shangguan Lu, Elder Su, and the others were indeed very quick in their response.

The only trouble was that setting up a barrier formation was extremely complex. Moreover, the formation they were in was an eighth-level grand array. Attempting to set up a barrier formation that could isolate the attacks of this eighth-level formation in a short amount of time, even with Shangguan Lu and others being seventh-level formation masters, was undoubtedly a great challenge.

Qin Chen was amazed. Li Xuanji and the others naturally did not understand what the barrier formation was. At that moment, they could not afford to ask too many questions; they were just desperately defending from the outside.
