Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

A team of about 400 warriors was galloping at this time. Although these warriors were strong, they looked tired.

The leader of one of the two teams was a young man wearing brass armor. The iconic brass armor made it easy to identify him as the leader of the Benxiao Pavilion in the Sacrifice Hall.

This young man was much younger than Wu Tian, ​​but he had already become the leader of the Pavilion. His strength had reached the peak level of cultivating Qi. It can be seen that his talent and strength were both top talents.

The Benxiao Pavilion was divided into two pavilions, Ye Shuang Pavilion and Ye Yu Pavilion. The outside world preferred to call them Shuang Pavilion and Yu Pavilion. Wu Tian, ​​the leader of the Yu Pavilion, was a strong man cultivated by the Sacrifice Hall, and his background and foundation were all in the Sacrifice Hall.

The young Pavilion Master in front of him was named Ye Shuang, and his background was much stronger than Wu Tian, ​​because he belonged to the Ye family, the royal family of the empire. As for the original Rain Pavilion and Thunder Pavilion in Benxiao Pavilion, it was only after Ye Shuang became the Pavilion Master that the name of the original Thunder Pavilion was changed to the current Frost Pavilion. It can be seen how much the Sacrifice Hall and the Empire value this person.

Behind him, two small Pavilion Masters in golden armor followed closely, and behind them were two hundred Benxiao Pavilion warriors in bronze armor. Even the Pavilion Master Ye Shuang, who led the team, could already be seen to be obviously tired at this time, but even so, the whole team still maintained a neat formation, and rushed forward with another team not far away.

Obviously, they were all warrior teams under the Ye Lin Empire, but they maintained this state with each other. However, this scene in front of them would never be surprising to those who knew the internal situation of the Ye Lin Empire, because the team that came with Benxiao Pavilion was a warrior from the Sacrifice Hall.

As the two sides moved forward silently, they were getting closer and closer to the Acropolis. These people were warriors who used the teleportation formation from Jingtan County to rush to the Acropolis at the fastest speed now. It was also a team of strong men sent by the empire to solve the various crises encountered in Xinxu County.

Using the teleportation array, the entire journey has actually been shortened by more than four-fifths. Because the magic beast mounts cannot be teleported together, the two teams of warriors can only enter Xinxu County by galloping all the way after being teleported to Heisen County.

The two teams of warriors were alert all the way, but what surprised them was that Xinxu County was very calm, and the chaos judged by the empire's high-level officials did not happen. Especially along the way, everyone almost didn't see a monster. Instead, when passing through the Tianping Mountains, they could feel that there seemed to be special energy fluctuations inside the mountains.

If it weren't for the death order from the empire's high-level officials that they must rush to the Acropolis as soon as possible, they would definitely enter the mountains to explore.

But now there is no time, they must keep going at full speed and rush to the Acropolis in the shortest time. At this time, the sky has completely darkened. On the contrary, in such an environment, if a battle is taking place, it is easier to detect.

But from a distance, apart from the lights on the city wall, there was no sign of any battle, which made the two teams of warriors who were moving forward feel relieved.

However, unlike Ye Shuang's completely relaxed state, Hui Ren, the soul master leading the Sacrifice Hall, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes, and then he began to slow down.

If Hui Ren had made such a move along the way, Ye Shuang and his team would have immediately raised their vigilance. However, as they were about to enter the Acropolis, Ye Shuang did not think much about it. Instead, he was more worried about the situation inside the Acropolis. He led the team to surpass the warriors of the Sacrifice Hall and quickly headed towards the Acropolis.

This Acropolis is not a county city, so it will be subject to considerable restrictions in terms of communication. It can only send limited information to the empire within a period of time. But this limited information includes the death of a great priest. As the head of the Ye Shuang Pavilion of the Ben Xiao Pavilion, Ye Shuang had to worry about the future of the Sacrifice Hall.

Over the years, although the Sacrifice Hall and the Sacrifice Soul Hall have always been the two pillars of the empire, the relationship between them is not harmonious. It can even be said that in recent decades, the contradictions between them have been constantly intensifying, and there is a hint of hostility.

Fortunately, the Sacrifice Hall has always been in charge of the external affairs of the empire, and some important internal affairs are controlled by the Shaoyu Palace. The Sacrifice Soul Hall has always been suppressed and has not been given a chance to rise. However, after this severe blow, a high priest fell, and it is said that Zheng Lu was also seriously injured, and the specific injury is still unknown.

This series of blows will have an immeasurable impact on the Sacrifice Hall. However, what is more worrying is that the weakening of the Sacrifice Hall’s strength will have an immeasurable impact on the high-level structure and balance of the entire Ye Lin Empire.

This time, the action to support the Acropolis should have been the responsibility of the Sacrifice Hall, but the Sacrifice Soul Hall wanted to get involved, and the high-level officials of the empire actually agreed. From this point alone, it can be seen that the Soul Sacrifice Hall intends to take this opportunity to raise its head. In the future, it is not impossible to compete with the Sacrifice Hall, or even suppress the Sacrifice Hall.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Ye Shuang has always kept a distance and vigilance from the people of the Soul Sacrifice Hall around him. It was not until he reached the outside of the Acropolis that he relaxed a little, but he could not help but worry about the future of the Sacrifice Hall and even the entire Ye Lin Empire.

Although it was completely dark, these warriors themselves had a high level of cultivation. With the help of the lights on the city wall at intervals, they could already see the city wall and the city gate clearly.

Everyone immediately began to adjust their direction and ran straight to the city gate. As they had special identities, they did not need to wait until dawn to open the city gate. They could just go to the city and ask for the city gate to be opened.

But when they were less than five miles away from the city gate, a light suddenly lit up behind the team. This light appeared without any sign, so that it attracted everyone's attention the moment it appeared. However, everyone was already close to the Acropolis, so they were not too nervous, but turned their heads subconsciously out of curiosity.

It was a ray of light blue. If it were not for this dark night, most people would not be able to notice the light.

When everyone turned their heads to look, they saw that the light slowly fell and merged under everyone's feet. After seeing this, a group of warriors from the Benxiao Pavilion felt very puzzled.

Only Ye Shuang, who was at the front, frowned subconsciously after seeing it. Although his sight was not very clear through the crowd, he could still barely recognize that the light blue light was the light released by the formation jade.

"Everyone, disperse..."

Ye Shuang reacted the fastest. The moment he discovered the subtle change, he secretly cried out "not good" in his heart. The first reaction in his mind was that the light blue light that lit up was very likely an activated array jade.

Judging from the location where the array jade appeared, it was very likely released from the team of the Soul Sacrifice Hall. Thinking of the role that the array jade could play, a chill quickly rose in his heart.

Ye Shuang's words had just been shouted out, but before he could even say the last word "open", everyone present immediately noticed the change.

The pressure like a mountain suddenly enveloped the whole body, dragging everyone down. At this time, everyone present had already noticed that this was the air-trapping force released by the array, and everyone had been trapped in the air-trapping array without knowing when.

The speed of the array was too fast, and there was no sign in advance. Nearly half of the people were caught off guard and began to fall quickly down.

"Hold steady, don't fall!"

The eyes suddenly focused, and at this moment, they could see the flashing light of the formation under their feet. Especially when the formation was lit, everyone also found that it was a narrow formation extending half a mile long, extending all the way to the city gate.

Those warriors of the Benxiao Pavilion who were initially affected by the formation and fell to the ground were now facing the attack of the formation. The various sword lights and sword shadows that condensed into substance under the formation flew out directly, and each attack was comparable to the full force of a peak Qi-gathering warrior.

Maybe one of them was not fatal, but under this huge number of attacks, even Ye Shuang, who was at the peak of the Qi-cultivation stage, did not dare to take them all.

Amid the criss-crossing attacks, all the warriors of the Benxiao Pavilion whose bodies fell to the ground were immediately restricted in their movements. It was very difficult to move even half a step, and it was naturally even more difficult to avoid the attacks released from all directions.

In a short moment, more than 30 people were killed on the spot, and more than 30 others were seriously injured. Moreover, the attacks from below were still being released continuously. Those who were injured at this time were obviously unlikely to survive.

Faced with such a change, although Ye Shuang was furious, he did not panic, but quickly ordered: "Everyone release the formation in the armor, and use the simulated beast to protect yourself from the formation first."

However, when he issued the order, he found that although the men around him were trying their best to activate the formation in the armor, no simulated beast appeared at all.

Only two of his subordinates, the young pavilion masters, managed to release the formation with great difficulty, but it seemed that it was also difficult.

At this moment, some of his subordinates were injured, and Ye Shuang shouted to the two young pavilion masters: "Ling Qi, Ling Jiu, use the simulated beast to protect them and walk south, and the other injured people follow me closely."

In just less than a breath of time, Ye Shuang had already discovered that the attack of the large formation below was more fierce the closer to the center area, and in this narrow formation, the attack near the edge area on both sides was weaker.

After Ye Shuang finished his command, he activated the beast in his armor and swooped down, wrapped up the injured but not dead men, and rushed straight to the north.

From a distance, he watched the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion split into two groups and rushed to the north and south. Gray Blade raised his mouth slightly, sneered, waved his hand, and said, "Don't pay attention to him, everyone follow me into the city!"
