Fang Chen's busy figure appeared repeatedly at the corners of Fengyan City over these past few nights. Time flew by during this period.
Today marked the third day since Fang Chen arrived in Fengyan City.
In the morning, at Fang Residence.
Creak...
Fang Chen pushed open the door and stepped outside. He raised his head and slowly scanned the four directions of Fengyan City, a faint smile gradually appearing at the corners of his mouth.
After two nights of hard work, the Four Symbols Killing Formation was finally completed last night. Using the four corners of Fengyan City as the foundation, he set up the Azure Dragon Formation, White Tiger Formation, Vermilion Bird Formation, and Black Tortoise Formation. Once activated, these four formations would unite in an instant to cover the entire Fengyan City. At that time, as long as those disciples of Jincheng Sect remained in Fengyan City, they would be trapped within the Four Symbols Killing Formation.
"They should be arriving soon; I really look forward to it," Fang Chen murmured softly, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.
Today was already the third day. According to the information provided by Luo Qingyan, starting from today, the group of Jincheng Sect disciples could arrive at any moment.
"Cheng'er, now only we from Fang Residence remain in Fengyan City," Fang Qingshan's voice slowly came through.
Since yesterday, the Fang Family had begun their actions, which involved temporarily "inviting" everyone from Fengyan City outside the city.
Although Fengyan City was not large, it was still a city with a considerable population. To "invite" everyone out of Fengyan City for just one day was no simple task. Even in the past, it would have been difficult for Fang Residence to accomplish this. However, with the Fang Family's absolute control over Fengyan City now, it took some effort but was ultimately completed.
Yet despite this accomplishment, Fang Qingshan still felt some confusion. The decision to clear out all of Fengyan City came from his son Fang Chen. While he understood that Fang Chen must have had his reasons for doing so due to the impending arrival of Jincheng Sect's people, he questioned whether it was necessary to clear out the entire city.
Fang Qingshan was puzzled.
Seeing the look of confusion in his father's eyes, Fang Chen wore a mysterious smile and replied lightly, "Father, allow me to keep you in suspense for now; you'll understand once those people arrive."
As a top-tier Eighth Level Spirit Array, the Four Symbols Killing Formation possesses the power to annihilate Primordial Embryo Realm Martial Artists. Once fully activated, although it will be under Fang Chen's control and specifically target the members of the Jincheng Sect, it will still unleash its destructive force throughout Fengyan City. The resulting devastation will be significant, and even a slight residual effect could easily kill many weaker martial artists.
Moreover, if the disciples of the Jincheng Sect find themselves trapped in the Four Symbols Killing Formation, with no way to escape, their desperation might lead them to act recklessly. This would pose a serious threat to the other inhabitants of Fengyan City. Fang Chen does not wish for the slaughter of all Jincheng Sect disciples to result in a massacre of nearly half the city.
Thus, he has no choice but to temporarily turn Fengyan City into a ghost town, leaving only the Fang Residence occupied.
As for whether this transformation into a ghost town would alert the Jincheng Sect disciples, that is beyond Fang Chen's concern. It is a deliberate scheme.
He is openly signaling to them that something is amiss in Fengyan City; whether they choose to enter is their own decision. Furthermore, even if anyone can see that something is wrong, the true nature of the Four Symbols Killing Formation remains largely unknown to anyone except Fang Chen until it is fully activated.
Of course, if there happens to be a Spirit Array Master among the Jincheng Sect who surpasses Fang Chen in array techniques, that would be a different story. However, such individuals are exceedingly rare, even more so than those at the Heavenly Realm level. Fang Chen does not believe he will be fortunate enough to encounter one, nor has he heard of any exceptionally skilled disciples in array techniques within the Jincheng Sect.
Looking at Fang Chen's mysterious demeanor, Fang Qingshan smiled helplessly and chose not to press further. His son has brought him countless surprises over time. This time, he continues to look forward to what Fang Chen will reveal next.
"Here they come!"
At that moment, Fang Chen's gaze sharpened as he suddenly looked up towards the eastern sky.
"Hmm?" Fang Qingshan raised his head in confusion and followed Fang Chen's line of sight but saw nothing at first. Just as a look of doubt appeared on his face, several figures suddenly emerged in the previously empty sky!
Whoosh!
A piercing sound of breaking air echoed from afar.
A massive azure rainbow sword, roughly the size of a small boat, soared through the air. On this sword stood numerous figures silently. At this moment, they were still some distance away from Fengyan City, but an overwhelming aura of severity swept toward them.
Upon closer inspection, Fang Qingshan was alarmed to discover that he could not discern the cultivation levels of these dozens of figures!
"At least they are all strong practitioners of the Primordial Embryo Realm." Fang Qingshan's face was slightly pale. Even though he had an inexplicable confidence in Fang Chen, he couldn't help but feel a bit frightened when facing the imposing group from the Jincheng Sect.
In the Fang Family, counting Fang Chen, there were only three practitioners of the Alchemy Realm, while the other side had brought over ten strong practitioners of the Primordial Embryo Realm. The gap between the two sides was simply too vast.
With worries in his heart, Fang Qingshan turned slightly to glance at Fang Chen beside him. Seeing that the latter still wore a confident smile on his face, seemingly unfazed by the scene before them, Fang Qingshan felt a bit more at ease.
"Ha..." After taking a long breath, Fang Chen's calm confidence seemed to have a positive effect on Fang Qingshan, alleviating much of his unease.
"One late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm and nine mid-stage Primordial Embryo Realm fellows. Tsk tsk, they really think highly of my Fang Family." As his gaze swept over the ten figures on the Azure Rainbow Greatsword, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Fang Chen's mouth.
He was well aware that this was already the result after the Ziyang Sect's interception. If it weren't for the Ziyang Sect's intervention, those arriving would likely not be limited to just these ten from the Primordial Embryo Realm.
"Fortunately, I set up the Four Symbols Killing Formation; otherwise, it would indeed be quite troublesome." Fang Chen thought to himself.
With his current mid-stage Alchemy Realm cultivation, even if he displayed all his means, he would only be comparable to a mid-stage Primordial Embryo Realm practitioner's combat power. Facing such a group would definitely be akin to moths flying into a flame. In fact, if he hadn't fled at the start, he might not have been able to escape at all. However, with the Four Symbols Killing Formation in place now, everything would be different. As long as these ten dared to enter Fengyan City, Fang Chen would ensure they understood what it meant to have nowhere to run.
While Fang Chen was assessing this group from the Jincheng Sect, those ten also turned their gazes toward Fengyan City not far away. However, upon looking, they immediately frowned.
The city was... empty?
This strange situation caused a hint of gloom to rise in their hearts. But soon, with their cultivation levels, they discovered that there was only one place with people in Fengyan City—the Fang Residence!
"This city has almost become a ghost town; however, those from the Fang Family have not left. This is strange," one among them remarked.
"Could it be that they are deliberately waiting for us to arrive?" someone speculated incredulously.
With their cultivation levels, how could they not see that within the entire Fang Residence, there were only three practitioners at the Alchemy Realm level? The rest were merely Qi Boundary and Body Refinement Realm novices. As for any Primordial Embryo Realm practitioners, there were none at all—not to mention any from the Heavenly Realm. This level of strength was far too inferior compared to their group.
Without needing to lift a finger, any one of the ten could sweep through the entire Fang Family. In such a situation, the Fang Family still presented themselves as if they were waiting for them, which left the group puzzled and bewildered. Looking at the empty Fengyan City, they felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation.
"Don't lose your composure; this might just be a trick set up by the Fang Family to confuse us," one of the young men, who was in the late stage of the Primordial Embryo Realm, suddenly said.
"Zhao Shixiong is right. In the face of absolute strength, everything is an illusion. No matter what tricks the Fang Family has, we only need to push through with our overwhelming power," someone echoed.
Ultimately, this group of Jincheng Sect disciples did not regard the small Fang Family as a threat. Their mindset was strikingly similar to that of Zhao Lie and others who had perished at Fang Chen's hands; they looked down on everyone else, believing this was merely a backwater place.
As they spoke, they were already very close to Fengyan City. They were almost at the point where they could descend into the air above Fengyan City with just a breath. However, at that moment, including Zhao Shixiong in the late stage of the Primordial Embryo Realm, all ten felt an inexplicable tremor in their hearts, a vague sense of unease rising within them.
This was an instinctive premonition of a martial artist!
Danger?!
Their gazes sharpened, and the Azure Rainbow Greatsword hovered in mid-air. The ten exchanged glances, each seeing uncertainty reflected in the others' eyes.
In this empty city, was there something that could threaten them?!
