The Demon Extermination Array may not be omnipotent, but Mu Zifeng's actions transformed this impossibility into a glimmer of possibility. With a drop of blood from Zuo Dao, that glimmer became an infinite potential.
The widespread fall of Golden Core Cultivators left the Ancient Ancestors feeling cold and fearful.
"Young Master Zuo, our Eastern Literary Family has wronged you. Please forgive us and show mercy by letting us go; we will surely repay you generously!"
"Yes, Young Master Zuo, we were just confused for a moment. For the sake of our shared path, please let us out!"
Voices of pleading began to emerge, but Zuo Dao remained indifferent. In the world of Cultivators, would there be fewer accounts to settle later? He understood the principle of cutting down the roots of evil.
Mu Zifeng displayed some backbone, channeling his spiritual energy to push the red mist three feet away from his body.
"You truly bring shame to the Nascent Soul Cultivators."
Everyone fell silent; they were all in the same boat now. It was not wise to turn against each other before Zuo Dao made his stance clear.
"Yuxian Sect, step forward." After Mu Zifeng spoke, he said no more. "Form the furnace battle array and break through the Restriction."
Among the Great Formation, only Yuxian Sect maintained a complete formation. Over twenty Golden Core Cultivators surrounded several Ancient Ancestors with a profound stance.
Mu Zifeng glanced at the Ancient Ancestors beside him.
"At this moment, I don't want to say much. Even if we risk our lives, we must get a few of these disciples out; otherwise, we will have no face to meet our Sect Master again."
"Understood." The remaining Ancient Ancestors from Celestial Sect responded in unison.
Since they had resolved to fight to the death, their counterattack would be terrifying. The places where several Ancient Ancestors stood were shaken into a vacuum. The sound of cracking echoed as the array patterns were shattered.
Each formation consists of three components: the foundation, the eye, and the patterns. The foundation is based on objects, the eye on people, and the patterns on energy—these three are unified.
Zuo Dao's Nine Star Convergence Maternal and Paternal Demon Extermination Formation was based on Mountain Valley, with himself as the eye and spirit stones as the fabric of patterns. Aside from the eye, both Mountain Valley and spirit stones had mediocre effects. If it were the original Demon Extermination Array, it would be based on Celestial Artifacts with immortals as the eye and Celestial Stones as the fabric; only then could it exterminate demons effectively; now it could at most refine infants.
Mu Zifeng surged with spiritual energy, disregarding the danger of being ignited by Void Fire as he charged toward Zuo Dao's position, followed closely by everyone from Yuxian Sect.
"Indeed impressive; you are worthy of being a representative of Yuxian Sect. I will ensure your corpses are returned to Celestial Sect," Zuo Dao remarked. He had always admired those who were unafraid of death, especially those who charged forward knowing they would die; he felt they deserved respect.
The people in the formation were like frogs in a pot, constantly jumping around as the Spirit Energy within Mountain Valley surged higher and higher. The number of missing Golden Core Cultivators was increasing. Even Bian Erzu felt a faint pain in his meridians, a result of being washed over by the powerful and pure Spirit Energy.
Mu Zifeng's attack was nothing remarkable; the only commendable aspect was its solidity.
The battle formation they employed was quite practical, with more than ten people connected in a line to form a circular array. At the center stood Mu Zifeng, while the other Celestial Sect Ancient Ancestors surrounded him. The Refining Formation transmitted the spiritual power of the ten or so Golden Core Disciples to Mu Zifeng in a profound manner.
With the replenishment of spiritual power, Mu Zifeng felt an overwhelming surge of strength that nearly made him lose himself. It was a sensation he had never experienced before. He believed that if he struck now, even against Yao Ming and Fire Rush together with Second Ancestor, he could confidently slay both under his sword.
Like Fire Rush, Mu Zifeng was also a fire-type Cultivator, radiating boundless heat like a blazing sun. The flames of the void could not affect him.
His attack was quite plain; he did not use any advanced spells but relied solely on a basic Flame Ball attack. While ordinary Flame Balls were red, Mu Zifeng's Flame Ball was entirely blue and significantly larger.
Wherever the Flame Ball passed, everything turned to ashes, and the air was filled with cracking sounds as the array patterns were shattered.
Zuo Dao frowned at this sight. He had hoped to deal with the trouble before him with ease but realized he would have to take action. The attack from the Flame Ball had exceeded the array's capacity to withstand it. Although the destruction of this array pattern did not change the overall situation, it was concerning that three of his side had entered deep meditation.
“Mud Horse, I really don't know whether they are my masters or I am theirs,” Zuo Dao muttered under his breath.
At this moment, Yue Tang was already anxious and restless. It had been a long time since he sent out messages without receiving any response. He could not see what was happening in Mountain Valley and kept glancing towards it from afar.
The Yuxian Sect had received Yue Tang's message but had yet to make a final decision due to the entangled interests among factions within their ranks.
Zuo Dao pointed to disperse the formation before him and casually added another layer of defense for the three beside him.
“The Celestial Sect is fortunate to have someone like you,” Zuo Dao remarked as he looked at Mu Zifeng without immediately launching an attack. “I just wonder if your deaths will lead to any reflection within the Celestial Sect. I question whether your sacrifices hold any meaning. Though I do not wish to kill, some matters are understood by both you and me.”
“I understand,” Mu Zifeng replied, gazing at the young man before him with a sense of daze. He had grown up in the Celestial Sect; all his memories were tied to it. His loyalty to the Celestial Sect was unquestionable, which was precisely why this mission had been entrusted to him.
As Mu Zifeng watched fellow Cultivators fall around him, a bitter feeling welled up inside him. How could he not understand Zuo Dao's intentions? He grasped the concept of killing as a warning; however, the cost of this warning was too heavy. Before his eyes, yet another Nascent Soul fell, transforming into pure spiritual power that drifted behind Zuo Dao—where Second Ancestor and Feng Yikong were located.
“What kind of formation is this? To my knowledge, there is no such formation existing throughout Moling Star,” Mu Zifeng raised his hand to silence his disciples' unrest and asked.
“Nine Star Convergence Maternal and Paternal Demon Extermination Formation? But this is a simplified version.” The other party did not make a move, and Zuo Dao was happy to enjoy the peace.
“Nine Star Convergence Maternal and Paternal Demon Extermination Formation? An ancient formation?” Mu Zifeng asked with a hint of doubt. “From the name, it seems to be specifically designed to deal with demons. How could it possibly affect Human Cultivator?”
“All methods return to one; if it can exterminate demons, why can it not refine infants?” Zuo Dao replied somewhat mischievously.
“Indeed, if it can exterminate demons, why not refine infants?” Mu Zifeng no longer pressed the issue. “This time I have only one request: spare them. I will fight you alone.”
“No problem. Actually, you don’t need to do that. If you want to leave, I can let you go.”
“No need. You know that some matters are beyond our control, even as Cultivators.”
“I promise you, as long as Yuxian Sect does not participate in encircling me again in the future, I can spare your people.”
“Let’s forget it. This time has already been fortunate enough; once is enough, but I have no right to ask for more. Let’s get started.” With that, Mu Zifeng signaled for the members of the Sect to retreat.
At this moment, a Golden Core True Person following behind him had tears in their eyes, and even several Nascent Soul Ancestors looked somewhat misty-eyed. Although they had thoughts and intentions, they realized it was all in vain; for the first time, they felt how powerless the words Yuxian Sect truly were.
“Master, please allow me to fight on your behalf in this battle.” A voice came from behind Zuo Dao.
