CHAPTER 1053: 1053 YUN SHANG PALACE GRAND FORMATION ACTIVATED! (3RD UPDATE)

The owner of the library followed Ye Qiu back helplessly.

On the way, Ye Qiu discovered Jin Shanshun, Jin’er and others, and immediately instructed them to go to the Cloud Palace to wait for him. It was already an undeniable fact that they had been defeated by the Ancient Tribes, and there was no time to think too much; preserving everyone’s life was the top priority.

"Young Master, the four traitors have been killed by us. Please be careful." Shui’er said.

Ye Qiu did not care about the life and death of Shi Da and others. At this time, his heart was concerned about the safety of Mo Lao and he couldn’t say much to them. After a few simple words, he continued back to the battlefield.

In the air, Mo Lao looked around at the six King Realm figures surrounding him. It was exceptionally difficult to leave, not merely hard, and just one Ji Batian before was already enough of a headache, let alone now there were five more in the King Realm.

After confronting each other for a moment, they all struck together, bombarding Mo Lao at the center.

The power of each King Realm martial artist was enough to split mountains and rivers. The combined attack of six powerful individuals was imaginable in its dreadful might.

Mo Lao managed a defense for a moment but was launched into the air by the crowd, spewing blood wildly from his mouth.

"Today we will tear off your mask and see what you really look like," Ji Changtian said.

No one was worried that Mo Lao would escape; before the six King Realm fighters, it was simply impossible for Mo Lao to get away.

Whoosh!

Another strike landed on Mo Lao, causing him to stagger and nearly fall.

"Remnants of the Dugu clan, kneel!" Ji Qianye said coldly.

"Qianye, don’t you also wish for a pair of eyes like mine? Today let’s kill him and take his eyes for you. How about that?" Ji Bairi said.

In the past, Ji Bairi attained a pair of magical eyes by seizing Dugu Qiujian’s eyes, which could cast opponents into illusions, much to Ji Qianye’s envy.

"Brother, your idea is not bad. The Dugu clan has only this one treasure, and it’s a pity to waste it." Ji Qianye said.

In front of Mo Lao, these two ancestor-level figures of the Ji clan openly discussed such matters, fully believing that Mo Lao was doomed to die.

"This guy hasn’t gone berserk, be careful," Ji Batian reminded.

Hearing this, those around immediately retreated a few steps. Ye Qiu’s berserk state could skyrocket by an entire realm, so if this King Realm martial artist went berserk too, it would be even more terrifying.

Mo Lao surveyed the surroundings and, seeing the sudden apprehension among the crowd, made a sudden dash.

"He’s trying to run!"

Mu Tianxing shouted. If Mo Lao managed to flee despite their siege, word getting out would utterly disgrace the strong individuals of the three Ancient Tribes.

Mo Lao burst out, heading straight for the Cloud Palace.

The six people behind swiftly chased him, with Ji Batian being the fastest among them, almost right at Mo Lao’s heels. To prevent Mo Lao from really escaping, Ji Batian relentlessly attacked from behind.

With a casual punch, he caused explosions in the air as if they were cascading flowers, flattening even a mountain to level ground.

Mo Lao darted like a loach, dodging the attacks left and right.

In the distance, Ye Qiu quickly approached, seeing Mo Lao break through the encirclement, and shouted with a heart full of joy, "Mo Lao, I’m here."

Mo Lao had long sensed Ye Qiu’s aura, and with a leap akin to a fish jumping over the dragon gate, abruptly increased his speed, disappearing right before Ji Batian.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Whoosh...

When Mo Lao reached him, Ye Qiu immediately took out a crystal stone for Mo Lao to recover.

The owner of the library urgently said, "Don’t delay, hurry back to the Cloud Palace."

They immediately turned and left.

At the same time, people from the three Ancient Tribes moved towards the Cloud Palace. The words of Ji Changtian, Mu Tianxing, and Shi Lie had long been relayed back to their tribes; they intended to annihilate the Cloud Palace in one fell swoop.

After the three quickly traveled over a hundred kilometers, Ji Batian finally caught up.

At this point, they weren’t far from the Cloud Palace, only thirty kilometers or so away.

"Ye Qiu, you go first. We two will deal with him." Mo Lao instructed, and immediately went to assist the owner of the library in dealing with Ji Batian.

With the owner’s assistance, Ye Qiu felt confident the two of them would be fine and could quickly return to the Cloud Palace. Hesitating only slightly, Ye Qiu followed Mo Lao’s advice and headed straight for the Cloud Palace.

After a moment, Ye Qiu reached the Cloud Palace, where Venerable Wu Yang was activating the grand formation. Time was urgent now; if the three Ancient Tribes arrived before the formation was activated, everyone would be at risk of being destroyed by them.

"Young Master Ye, you’re just in time. Help me activate the formation quickly," Venerable Wu Yang said anxiously.

At the moment, Boss Yun was exhausted and quite injured, leaving everything to Venerable Wu Yang. However, he was not familiar with formations, and despite his efforts, he had not succeeded in activating it.

"Young Master, how can we help?" Jin Shanshun and others breathed a sigh of relief seeing Ye Qiu return safely, but they also knew the crisis had not yet been resolved. If the formation could not be successfully activated with the Ancient Tribes approaching, everyone’s lives would be at risk.

"Take care of Boss Yun," Ye Qiu instructed, then said to Venerable Wu Yang, "Senior, leave the formation to me. You should recover from your injuries first."

Venerable Wu Yang’s injuries were unclear, but there were several visible wounds on his chest, inflicted by the clan leaders of the three Ancient Tribes.

Venerable Wu Yang did not refuse. He knew Ye Qiu’s cultivation technique proficiency was quite profound, making him suitable for activating the grand formation.

The grand formation of the Cloud Palace had not been activated for many years. Ye Qiu reached the formation eye pointed out by Boss Yun.

"It certainly is a grand formation." Ye Qiu identified the size of the formation eye at a glance—undeniably a setup for a grand formation, though he didn’t know what formation it was, it didn’t feel weak to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu immediately circulated his true art, activating the formation eye to start the grand formation. Suddenly, dazzling white light rose around the Cloud Palace.

Beams of light shot forth, piercing the sky.

It’s done!

Seeing this, Venerable Wu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and Boss Yun mustered a difficult smile.

The light screens acted like giant petals, encapsulating the entire Cloud Palace. Mist began to rise around it, gradually obscuring the Cloud Palace’s presence within it.

"This grand formation holds more than the power of just a third-level formation." Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed, glinting with light. With his formation proficiency, he recognized the extraordinariness of this formation. With Ye Qiu’s perception, this grand formation could completely withstand attacks from King Realm fighters.

Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s gaze shot outside the formation, and Mo Lao and the library owner still hadn’t escaped from Ji Batian.

Through his piercing sight, Ye Qiu finally saw clearly that the clan leaders of the three Ancient Tribes had somehow caught up, binding Mo Lao tightly. The library owner tried several times to help Mo Lao escape, but unfortunately, it was to no avail.

The opponents had too many King Realm fighters, giving even the library owner a deep sense of helplessness.

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and dashed out of the formation.

"Mo Lao, you can’t die!"
