In the entire hall, only Taoist Huanglong knew Ji Tianxing's plan.
Therefore, he waited patiently and secretly observed several elders.
In the past, he never believed that any elder would have problems.
But Ji Tianxing had warned him, so he was more cautious.
At this moment, when he saw the third elder acting strangely and his eyes evading, he realized something was wrong.
Especially the third elder's excuse made him feel even more strange.
So, he asked in a deep voice: "The captain of the guard sent you a message? What went wrong? Why didn't he come to the main hall to report it?"
"This..." The third elder was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "You gave an order before that everyone should stay in their residences and not leave, so he..."
Taoist Huanglong frowned and was about to refute the third elder.
At this time, Ji Tianxing, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, waved his hand and said: "Huang Long, let the third elder go take a look."
Taoist Huang Long then gave up, glared at the third elder with a majestic look, and said: "Go back quickly!"
The third elder suddenly felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "Disciple, I obey!"
After that, he quickly walked out of the hall and disappeared at the door.
After running out of the hall, he suddenly accelerated his speed and flew towards his residence as fast as lightning.
He had a look of fear on his face, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself: "Humph! So what if Master Huang Long becomes suspicious? I will be relieved immediately!"
While thinking about it, he sped up and flew towards the palace on the edge of the dojo.
At this time, everyone in the meeting hall opened their eyes one after another, showing complicated expressions.
Ji Tianxing changed his previous lazy look and stared coldly at the door of the hall, with a stern sneer on his lips.
Taoist Huanglong's expression was quite complicated, and he sighed with regret.
"Alas... Master really guessed it right!
I never expected that the third elder, who has always been honest and courteous, would actually be...I made a mistake!"
Ji Tianxing stood up, straightened his white robe, and said in a cold tone: "The time has come. It's time for us to go out and meet the people of the three sects and six sects."
After that, he took Zhibai Shouhei and walked out of the main hall.
Taoist Huanglong, the second elder, Feng Ping and Lang Jing quickly followed, and only the elder stood up last.
He took a deep look at Ji Tianxing and looked at his back with a gloomy expression and a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Although this man is the reincarnation of the Sword God, he is even more terrifying than the Sword God of the past!
Back then, the Sword God was only obsessed with martial arts and left everything in the sect to be taken care of by Taoist Huang Long.
And now he...is so scheming!"
After a while, everyone left the hall and walked towards the center of the dojo.
…
At the same time, somewhere in the secret room of a palace.
A middle-aged man wearing armor was bowing to the third elder and reporting the news.
"Third Elder, just now Sect Leader Tang sent a message via a secret method. I have something important to ask."
The third elder frowned and said solemnly: "Li Zhi, we have been relying on Sect Leader Tang for more than 20 years. In order not to arouse others' suspicion, we do not contact you easily on weekdays.
What happened to Sect Leader Tang? Why didn't you ask earlier? Do you have to contact us today?
Damn it! I had aroused Taoist Huanglong's suspicion just now in the meeting hall.
If they cannot destroy Tianzhu Mountain today, Taoist Huanglong will never let me go!"
A middle-aged man named Li Zhi is the captain of the guard of Tianzhu Mountain.
He took out a compass from his arms and explained: "Third Elder, now is not the time to worry about these issues. The top priority is that we must respond to Sect Master Tang!
They had already fought their way outside the mountain gate, but were blocked by the mountain-protecting formation and could not get in.
Sect Leader Tang asked you, is there any way to destroy the mountain defense formation or open a gap?
If a gap can be opened, even if it only lasts for a few breaths, it will be enough for them to come in.
By then, it doesn’t matter even if our identities are exposed, Tianzhu Mountain will be finished anyway!”
Hearing Li Zhi's words, the third elder immediately frowned and murmured gloomily: "Mountain-protecting formation? Our mountain-protecting formation...isn't it the sky formation arranged by the Sword God?"
That great sky formation was closed hundreds of years ago, when did it open again?"
Li Zhi was startled for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Two days ago, I heard from my guards that the Holy Sword appeared, and the dojo was filled with brilliance... Maybe it was opened that day, right?"
The third elder frowned fiercely and said with a gloomy expression: "Did Taoist Huanglong activate the formation? No wonder he asked me to maintain the formation in the back mountain during those two days and deliberately pushed me away!
That’s not right! If he could activate the formation, he would have done so long ago, why wait until now?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized and his expression changed drastically.
"It must be the boy named Ji! He claims to be the reincarnation of the Sword God... Only he can open the sky formation!"
Li Zhi's face also became extremely ugly, and he said bitterly: "I sent this news to Sect Master Tang a few days ago, but he didn't reply to me. It seems that he didn't take it at all."
The more the third elder thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he said with a ferocious face: "Forget it, forget about it! Since Taoist Huanglong has already doubted me, we will continue to do nothing...
Let’s go to the dojo now. Even if we can’t open the mountain-protecting formation, we still have to destroy the formation and create a gap as soon as possible!”
Li Zhi quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay! We have endured it for more than twenty years, and today we can finally give it a try!"
After saying that, the two people quickly left the secret room and hurried to the dojo.
…
Ji Tianxing, Huang Long and others came to the middle of the dojo and stood under the Qianzhang Sword Monument.
Everyone looked up to the sky and saw the nine airships lined up like a huge war fortress.
Taoist Huanglong, Feng Ping, and Lang Jing all had expressions of hatred on their faces, and murderous intent surged in their eyes.
Ji Tianxing looked indifferent, slowly raised his right hand, pinched the magic formula and shot out dozens of streams of light.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The colorful stream of light penetrated the ground and immediately lit up dozens of formation patterns.
Immediately afterwards, the colorful light shield in the sky slowly opened a gap.
This gap is very small, only as big as a washbasin, like a dog hole.
Outside the colorful light shield, Tang Zhanlong and several sect masters and heads had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
Suddenly seeing a gap in the light mask, everyone was shocked and their eyes flashed with light.
"Look! There is a gap in the mountain protection formation!"
"Our spy must have started taking action!"
"Damn it, why is the gap so small? It's like a dog hole. Do we have to get in through that?"
"When has this happened? Do you still care about these things? It would be great if you can open a gap!"
"What are you waiting for? This is a rare opportunity, hurry up and get in!"
Several sect masters and heads were filled with excitement and eager to try, eager to rush in and start a killing spree.
Tang Zhanlong glanced at the gap and then at the dojo on the top of the mountain, feeling vaguely that something was not right.
But the gap in the formation is right in front of us and may close at any time.
He didn't care so much and quickly led everyone to fly towards the gap.
