Chapter 236
Aside from Zhang San in the Divine Passage realm and the Nirvana realm old man, several other upper four realms cultivators took action simultaneously, their might vast and shaking the void.
Any Core Formation cultivator facing such a perilous situation would indeed be doomed, but Jiang Chen was not panicked at all.
Knowing that the Ancient Pill Tower would resort to such assassination and siege tactics, how could he be unprepared?
Glancing at the upper four realms attackers, he remained calm, a golden talisman appearing in his left hand, inscribed with eight cinnabar blood lines and a large blood-red “Break” character in the center.
The sight of this item made the attacking cultivators pause indisbelief.
“A formation breaking talisman?! And it’s eighth-grade?!”
The so-called formation breaking talisman is where a formation Grandmaster seals their thoughts and insights into a golden talisman, which can be activated at a critical moment to forcefully break a formation.
The grade of the formation breaking talisman is linked to the blood line seals on it.
An eighth-grade formation breaking talisman can break all formations below the eighth-grade.
In other words, as long as Jiang Chen activates the talisman in his hand, the “Dragon Turtle Lock Formation” would be instantly broken.Then, if Jiang Chen crushed a transmission jade slip, the Jiang family would arrive in an instant.
Watching the attackers who were aggressive just a second ago now looking horrified, Jiang Chen shook his head and sneered.
He thought these people were all fools and a bunch of frogs in a well.
Indeed, these people had investigated him and acted very cautiously.
To deal with him, a Core Formation cultivator, they even brought out a Nirvana realm Old Ancestor.
But the might of the Jiang family… how could these people comprehend it?
As the sole son of the Jiang family, he might not have many other things, but he had plenty of life-saving items.
The once certain kill situation had been reversed by a simple formation breaking talisman, causing the faces of the attacking cultivators to darken.
“Jiang Chen, consider it as if I was never here today,” one cultivator decided to make a run for it.
“Wang Er! Are you thinking of retreating in the face of battle?” another cultivator loudly questioned.
“Hmph!” Wang Er snorted coldly in response.
“We can’t kill him now, so should we stay here and wait for the Jiang family’s retaliation?”
“…”
His words left the speaker speechless.
For a moment, many cultivators began to entertain thoughts of leaving.
“Hahaha!” Suddenly, a formation cultivator named Zhang San burst into laughter.
Seeing everyone’s gaze turn towards him, he smirked smugly and said, “I’ve always said that I’m a cautious person! This eighth-grade formation is just a facade!”
Facade?
His companions, puzzled, cast inquiring glances at him.
“Calm down everyone, just watch me,” Zhang San said with a proud smile, infusing a stream of spiritual light into the formation plate in his hand.
In an instant, the formation plate began to spin, gathering spiritual energy upon it.
Under his control, the Dragon Turtle Lock Formation’s light reversed, divine light spread out, shooting up into the sky like pillars from five different directions.
It was like five divine pillars, standing tall on the earth, locking the heavens and trapping the earth.
“A Grandmaster of formation paths…” Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.
“Haha! No more hiding, no more pretending!” Zhang San laughed loudly, his expression full of pride.
“That’s right, I am a Grandmaster of formation paths. In fact, the full name of this formation is the Five Pillars Locking Dragon Sky-Entrapping Formation. Its grade surpasses the eighth grade, and although it’s not quite ninth grade, your eighth-grade formation breaking talisman can’t break it!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
After coming back to their senses, the cultivators from the upper four realms were speechless:
“Zhang Daoist friend, you’re being overly cautious!”
“Indeed, but it’s precisely because of your caution that we’ve managed to turn the situation around.”
“They say Zhang Daoist friend is incredibly strong but excessively cautious. I didn’t believe it before, but now I see the rumors are true.”
“Zhang Daoist friend, this move of yours is truly eye-opening!”
“…”
Even the Nirvana realm elder gave a thumbs up in praise: “Zhang Daoist friend, you really keep your cards close to your chest!”
“Hehe.”
Zhang San smiled faintly, modestly waving his hand as if indicating that it was nothing much.
He then looked towards Jiang Chen with pride and said, “How about it? Jiang Chen, you didn’t expect this, did you?”
“Indeed, I didn’t expect it…” Jiang Chen nodded honestly.
“Hahahah!”
Hearing this, Zhang San laughed heartily.
Although Jiang Chen was an enemy, the fact that he had surprised the young master of the Jiang family clearly delighted him.
“I didn’t expect that the Ancient Pill Tower would go to such lengths this time, even inviting you, a Grandmaster of formation paths,” Jiang Chen added.
“???”
Zhang San was taken aback.
What did he mean?
Wasn’t he supposed to be surprised that he was so strong yet so “cautious”?
“Why bother with him?” another cultivator interjected.
“Now that he can’t break the formation and send a message, let’s make a quick decision!”
With that, everyone unanimously agreed.
The next second, several cultivators from the upper four realms charged towards Jiang Chen again.
But halfway through their charge, they were stunned.
Because Jiang Chen, unhurriedly, took out another talisman from his spirit ring, a golden talisman with nine cinnabar bloodlines!!
“F*ck! A ninth-grade formation breaking talisman!”
One cultivator exclaimed in shock.
Zhang San, who was skilled in formations, kept rubbing his eyes, doubting whether he was seeing things correctly.
That was a ninth-grade formation breaking talisman! Not to mention the Central Domain, even in the Upper Domain, they were extremely rare!
The value of just this one ninth-grade formation breaking talisman far exceeded the entire foundation of many second-tier sects in the Central Domain!
At this moment, Zhang San wanted to ask.
Was it necessary?
Did the Jiang family really have to be so extravagant, entrusting such a precious treasure to Jiang Chen and letting him run around with it?!
And while everyone was in shock.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“There’s something I forgot to tell you,” Jiang Chen said with a grin while holding the talisman.
“Actually, I’m also very cautious.”
“…”
Everyone was speechless.
Zhang San felt defeated, truly defeated.
It wasn’t that his caution was inferior, but rather his financial power!
The Jiang Family was simply too extravagant!
“Jiang Chen, consider it as if I was never here!” cultivator Wang Er tried to make a run for it again.
This time, no one stopped him.
Because everyone knew that with a ninth-grade formation breaking talisman in hand, Jiang Chen could contact the Jiang family at any moment.
Unless someone could kill him with the speed of lightning before he could break the formation and send a message!
And the only one who could do that was…
With this thought, everyone turned to look at the dwarf elder in the back.
For them, a Nirvana realm expert was not easy to invite.
And the dwarf elder’s arrival had been agreed upon to only oversee the situation, not to take action.
If he were to take action, the price would be astronomical.
“Please, Elder Zhao, take action,” Zhang San said, bracing himself as he bowed.
“My fee for taking action is not small,” the elder said with narrowed eyes.
“In addition to the agreed-upon reward, everything on this young man will belong to me.”
“This…”
Zhang San hesitated.
But soon, he nodded, indicating no objections.
It was a simple choice.
To run away would mean gaining nothing and possibly facing retaliation from the Jiang family.
But by asking the elder to take action, they could at least repay the favor to the Ancient Pill Tower and gain a substantial amount of wealth.
After exchanging glances, the others had no objections either.
The elder smiled in satisfaction, stepped forward into the air, and looked directly at Jiang Chen, “Jiang Chen, you are indeed very cautious, even bringing out a ninth-grade formation breaking talisman. But in the face of absolute power, caution is of little use.”
“Really?” Jiang Chen said with disdain, caressing the ancient bell beside him.
“Do you know who the previous owner of this ancient bell was?”
“…Who?” the elder frowned.
“It was my father.”
“Oh? So what?”
“My father did not completely remove the blood binding with this ancient bell. I can only simply control it. Guess what would happen if I were to detonate this ancient bell?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, the elder’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew very well if that were to happen, it would mean…
The moment the ancient bell exploded, the Jiang family would notice and quickly arrive!
During that time, he might have enough strength to kill Jiang Chen.
But he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape!
“Jiang Chen, pretend I was never here today!” The elder cupped his fists, ready to make a run for it.
