The Twentieth Chrysanthemum

  When they saw these four masters suddenly appear, Zulóng and his companions let out a sigh of relief, but their joy was premature.

  "Just listen to Luo Hou's disdainful words: 'I thought it was who had such a big tone, it turned out to be you, Qián Kūn, this old ghost. You think that just because the four of you idiots joined forces, you can save these three tribes' fools?'"

  These four people who suddenly appeared, Chu Jiu Yin didn't recognize any of them, but he believed that among these four people, there must be one who is the Ancestor of Hong Jun Dao. After all, things had reached this point and there was nothing good to hide anymore. From now on, everything would depend on strength, and the Ancestor of Hong Jun Dao would naturally appear too.

  "Lo Hou, let go! As long as you're willing to let go, we won't make things difficult for you!"

  Luó Hóu said disdainfully: "Hóng Jūn, who do you think you are? Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? You want me to let you go and have your own way?"

  Upon hearing Luo Hou's words, Zhu Jiu Yin couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Oh! So he is indeed the Ancestor of the Hong Jun Dao, but it seems like he isn't even a match for Luo Hou!"

  Just as Hong Jun was indulging in wild fancies, Luo Hou continued to scold: "Hong Jun, don't think I don't know what you bastards are thinking. I'm crystal clear about the ideas you're harboring. You bunch of hypocrites! If you say you didn't know I secretly instigated this fight, that's a lie. You just want to use me to take care of these three tribes and then snatch their destiny from my hands. To tell the truth, you're even more despicable than me, who took direct action!"

  The original dragon, phoenix and qilin three tribes showed unparalleled kindness to the suddenly appearing Hong Jun Dao Zu, but when they heard Luo Hou's words, they became cautious and no longer had the previous kindness, only vigilance.

  After being scolded by Luo Hou, the faces of Hong Jun Dao Zu and others became extremely ugly. Hong Jun Dao Zu shouted loudly: "Luo Hou, don't talk nonsense! If you want to fight, then let's do it, otherwise today will be your death date!"

  Seeing the angry faces of Hong Jun Dao Zu and several others, Luo Hou burst out laughing: "How did I hit your sore spot? Now you want to play tough with me? Don't think that just because you four useless people are working together, you can intimidate me. You're not much better than those three idiots either. Do you think your clever plans can take down both me and those three idiots at once? Unfortunately, I'm a lot smarter than you bunch of morons! Did you really think I couldn't handle those three idiots? Ha! I was just luring you fools out!"

  As soon as Luo Hou spoke, the faces of Hong Jun Dao Zu and others changed color. Only to hear Hong Jun Dao Zu loudly shouted: "It's bad, we fell into Luo Hou's despicable plan!"

  Luo Hou burst out laughing: "You four fools finally understand now, but it's too late. I've been waiting for you four turtles to jump into the net on your own. Activate 'Heavenly Sword Formation' for me!"

  As Luo Hou's voice fell, four icy swords suddenly rose around the battlefield, each emitting a piercing killing intent that formed four pillars of light that locked in the battlefield. Above the battlefield was a formation chart that enveloped everyone, filled with endless killing intent that made one's hair stand on end.

  In an instant, the entire battlefield was shrouded in a killing aura, and the power of the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation locked everyone down. Those who had escaped the previous sweep by Luo Hou were not just Yan Jiu Yin alone, but many others. However, this time they could no longer continue to hide, one by one being forced out by the power of the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation.

  The Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation was complete, and the three tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin were divided into three groups to resist the killing aura of the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation. The four ancestors of the Hong Jun Dao joined forces to block the descent of the Exterminating Array Diagram. Finally, there were those people who had just been forced out, but these people obviously couldn't withstand the ferocity of the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation, and one by one they were crushed by the power of the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation until they could hardly breathe.

  Perhaps at this time, only Zhu Jiu Yin was able to continue hiding, not because Zhu Jiu Yin's cultivation was particularly powerful, but because his divine heart helped him out, allowing him to block the killing aura of the Xian Jian sword array, and with his strong physical body, he was able to avoid being forced out by Luo Hou.

  For those who were forced out, whether they were the three clans' masters or the four of Hong Jun Dao Zu, none of them had the mind to take care of them, which made those people on the verge of collapse.

  At this time, Luo Hou sneered: "Hong Jun, you have always been self-righteous about benevolence and righteousness. Why are you now watching these people fall without lifting a finger?"

  Hong Jun Dao Zu actually wanted to save them, after all, the Xian Jian sword array was a killing formation that grew stronger with each person it killed. Hong Jun Dao Zu didn't want to see anyone fall into the sword array and strengthen its power. However, due to Luo Hou's cunning and treachery, he had struck first and caught them off guard, leaving Hong Jun Dao Zu and his companions powerless to act. As for the powerful cultivators of the three tribes, they were struggling to protect their own people and couldn't spare any energy to help others.

  Upon hearing Luo Hou's words, the Old Ancestor of Heaven and Earth angrily shouted: "Luo Hou, you sinister little man, if you have the ability to openly and honestly fight a battle, then what is the point of secretly plotting against others?"

  Luó Hóu said disdainfully: "Qian Kun old monster, are you stupid? You several turtles were hiding in the dark before, wasn't it to ambush me? How come you can't even ambush me and instead got cleaned up by me, and now you want to single out? Do you have the qualifications to say such things in front of me? Today I will annihilate all of you bastards, seize the aura on your bodies, and prove my way!"

  After being calculated by Luo Hou, the situation of Hong Jun Dao Zu and others was somewhat precarious. If they were not careful, they might fall here. Hong Jun Dao Zu took a deep breath and said to Zu Long: "Zu Long fellow daoist, now everyone is an ant on the same rope. To escape, we must work together. Otherwise, everyone will die here!"

  Upon hearing Hong Jun's words, the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Phoenix, as well as the Qilin King, exchanged opinions. The current situation is extremely perilous for their three tribes, as all of their main forces are concentrated here. If Luo Hou's plot succeeds, the three tribes will truly disappear in the great tide of the Hong Huang. If they want to fight for a chance at survival, they can only join hands with Hong Jun and others to resist Luo Hou; there is no other way.

  Zulong nodded and said: "Hongjun Daoist friend, tell us what to do!"

  Upon hearing Zu Long's agreement with his opinion, Hong Jun and the four ancestors - Qian Kun, Shan He, and Kun Wu - let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were truly afraid that the three tribes would refuse to cooperate with them due to Luo Hou's previous words. If that happened, their situation today would be precarious. After all, Luo Hou had been planning for so long and had taken the initiative by grasping the "Heavenly Sword Formation", a powerful killing array that could borrow endless killing intent to strengthen his own power.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu said in a deep voice, "Alright, please have the three tribes of Ancestral Dragon Dao friends separately hold down the three gates, and I will single-handedly hold down one gate. The other three Dao friends will then use their full strength to break through this 'Heavenly Extermination Array'. As long as the array is broken, Luo Hou's time of death will also arrive. Even if his cultivation is strong, he won't be a match for our seven people!"

  Perhaps for the Ancestral Dragon and others, they thought that Hong Jun Dao Zu's arrangement was reasonable. To be strict, Hong Jun Dao Zu had to bear much more pressure than others, after all, he alone came to hold back a sword gate. However, Xiu Jiu Yin hiding in the dark did not think so, others were unclear about Hong Jun Dao Zu's strength, but Xiu Jiu Yin had some understanding.

  "What a great Hong Jun Dao Zu, indeed sinister enough to let others take the cannon fodder for you, while you reap the benefits of the fisherman, no wonder you can laugh till the end!"

  Although Jiuyin could slightly understand Hongjun Daozu's plan, others did not know this point, and at present the situation was critical, they had no other choice, so everyone naturally agreed with Hongjun Daozu's arrangement, each showing their own strengths.

  Only to see the Ancestral Dragon raised the "East Azure Lotus Treasure Color Flag" from the Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure Heaven and Earth Five Directional Flags, while the Ancestral Phoenix raised the "South Departing Land Flame Light Flag", and the Qilin King raised the "Central Xuji Apricot Yellow Flag".

  The three tribes each held a treasure flag, which shocked Candle Nine Yin. He really didn't expect that the three pre-heavenly spiritual treasures would be the treasures of the three tribes. What happened next was even more shocking to Candle Nine Yin. The Qiankun Old Ancestor sacrificed the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure "Qiankun Map", one of the three great pre-heavenly treasure maps. The Shanhe Old Ancestor sacrificed the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure "Shanhe Sheji Map", also one of the three great pre-heavenly treasure maps. Finally, the Kunwu Old Ancestor's sacrifice was even more terrifying - a set of pre-heavenly sword arrays, "Kunwu Eight Swords". Each sword was a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, and their combined power was unmatched. Above his head hung the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure "Kunwu Mirror"!
