Chapter 1825: Chapter 1825: Blood Moon Formation

"Ridiculous."

"The Hall Masters of the Asura and Wind Shattering Two Halls unable to arrive in time?"

"Holy Moon Sect, your arrogance knows no bounds."

A contemptuous shout suddenly echoed from the ranks of the Black Cloud Academy.

It was none other than Qin Yi of Illusion Wind, known for his traceless speed.

As a Martial Artist of the Wind Shattering Hall, Qin Yi had immense faith and confidence in the Hall Master of the Wind Shattering Main Hall.

A cold voice also rose from the ranks of the Five Great Academy.

"With the cultivation prowess of the two Main Hall Masters, it won’t take long for them to reach the Extreme East."

"When that time comes, you four had better prepare your necks."

Linghu Wang’s voice was icy, brimming with rage.

The death of his elders, the death of the academy’s predecessors, and the ten Peak of Supreme assassins—all were laid at the feet of the Holy Moon Sect by the Five Great Academies.

Elder Jingz Yue smiled indifferently.

From the start, he showed not the slightest anxiety.

His face was the oldest among the four, yet also the most composed among them all.

Unlike the others, Jingz Yue carried an air of scholarly elegance.

This air of elegance and refinement tempered his aged face, making him appear gentle and comforting.

However, the sinister smile and murderous intent he wore struck fear into hearts.

"Chengfeng Hall Master, astute as you are, why not enlighten these youngsters as to your current predicament?"

Elder Jingz Yue chuckled as he spoke.

The expression of Chengfeng Hall Master, previously composed, had now turned deathly pale, grave in the extreme.

"Jingz Yue, the Blood Moon Formation is a forbidden formation of your Holy Moon Sect."

"Once deployed, the Blood Moon Formation creates a separate realm within its range."

"No one can find this place."

"Chengfeng Hall Master, what do you mean?" Guu Feifan furrowed his brows.

Chengfeng Hall Master replied in a heavy voice, "The meaning is simple. Even if you leave the Blood Moon Formation, you will still be in the Extreme East."

"However, finding the way in, no one knows where the entry to this space is."

"Even if someone stands outside in the Extreme East now, they wouldn’t see this formation."

"The entry to this space might be in the Four-direction Domain, the Six Dragon Territory, or the Heavenly Hidden Territory. Any place within the Central Region is possible."

Guu Feifan’s face changed, "You mean that even if the Hall Masters of the Wind Shattering and Asura Two Halls arrive, they wouldn’t find this place?"

"This Blood Moon space is completely isolated from the normal world?"

Chengfeng Hall Master nodded gravely, his gaze fixed on Elder Jingz Yue.

"Jingz Yue, I advise you now to disperse the formation while there’s still time."

"No." Elder Jingz Yue shook his head indifferently, "To be precise, Vice Master Xiao Yi, you still have time to make a choice."

"Vice Master Xiao Yi." Elder Jingz Yue looked at Xiao Yi.

"You now understand the situation, and you should know you have no opportunities left."

"Make your choice quickly."

"If unnecessary, I do not wish to stain these old hands with blood."

Elder Jingz Yue smiled gently, glancing at his old hands.

"Jingz Yue." Chengfeng Hall Master suddenly roared, "Do you truly intend to cause a great calamity?"

"Here are the talents of the Five Great Academies, four of the most outstanding from the Eighteen Mansions, along with the Black Cloud Academy, and successors of my Wind Shattering and Asura Two Halls."

"If something happens to these youths, can your Holy Moon Sect bear the consequences?"

At this moment, Ran Qi raised his head in confusion, casting an intrigued glance at the blood moon in the sky.

With just one look, Ran Qi cried out in pain.

"Ah, my eyes."

Ran Qi clutched his eye, blood gushing from his hand, his body nearly collapsing.

Ye Liu was quick to catch Ran Qi.

"Brother Ran?" Ye Liu’s face turned grim with shock.

"Don’t look at the blood moon." Chengfeng Hall Master promptly admonished.

"The Blood Moon Formation’s core is that blood moon."

"This is also the most terrifying aspect of the formation."

Hengtian Palace Master added, "Outside in normal heaven and earth, a martial artist can absorb the essence of the sun and moon to enhance cultivation."

"But within the Blood Moon Formation, the opposite is true."

"The blood moon will instead absorb the essence of the martial artists within."

"Or, put more simply." Elder Jingz Yue laughed softly, "Even if we do not make a move, you young ones will gradually lose all vitality within the Blood Moon Formation."

"Under the cold light of this blood moon, you will become dessicated corpses."

"Oh, and one more thing." Elder Jingz Yue, smiling, looked at Xiao Yi.

"To correct something Chengfeng Hall Master just said."

"The one truly causing a great calamity is not my Holy Moon Sect."

"The power to decide the survival of the talents present lies in your hands, Vice Master Xiao Yi."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s heart turned cold.

He naturally understood Elder Jingz Yue’s implications.

"Holy Moon Sect, you just wish to kill me. Why involve others?"

"I’ve said it before." Elder Jingz Yue shook his head, "If unnecessary, I do not wish to stain my hands with blood."

"The same goes for you."

"Abolish your cultivation, sever an arm and a leg, and I can spare your life. The Blood Moon Formation can be dispelled immediately."

Xiao Yi’s face turned cold.

Before he could speak, a loud voice rang out.

"Impossible." Guu Feifan sneered, "I, Guu Feifan, am not accustomed to owing others."

"Nor am I." Linghu Wang sneered, "Holy Moon Sect, you killed my academy’s elder. I will make you pay for that."

Elder Jingz Yue scoffed, "The death of your academy’s elder has nothing to do with my Holy Moon Sect."

"Xiao Yi, there’s no need for words." Qing Lin’s eyes were cold, "If it’s a fight they want, then a fight they’ll get."

"Indeed." Mo Youu nodded, eyes equally cold, "We of the Black Cloud Academy’s monsters are never afraid of threats."

"Brother Xiao Yi, let’s battle to our heart’s content." Ye Liu was already channeling Primordial Power into his palm.

Ran Qi remained silent, only wiping the blood from the corner of his eye. In his hand, the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear had long been drawn, never dissipated.

"A bunch of old coots." Ran Qi pointed his long spear.

"All you can do is bully the young while relying on your cultivation to suppress young talents."

"But I’ll tell you, Ran Qi, this world will ultimately belong to the younger generation."

"Us young monsters might not be afraid of you four old things."

Elder Jingz Yue, unfazed by Ran Qi’s pointing spear, looked only at Xiao Yi.

"Vice Master Xiao Yi, I’ve given you ample time to consider."

"Since you remain obstinate, you leave us no choice."

At that, Elder Jingz Yue took a step back.

Hua Yue, Shui Yue, and Holy Moon all revealed murderous intent.

Holy Moon Elder sneered, "As always, the Holy Daughter’s standards are high, but still not high enough."

Elder Jingz Yue shook his head, "Vice Master Xiao Yi, truth be told, you have some very fine friends."

"But today, you are the cause of their death."

"They will die because of you."

"Strike."

Hua Yue, Shui Yue, and Holy Moon Elders attacked simultaneously.

Chengfeng and Hengtian Hall Masters were prepared.

Clang...

A strand of purple lightning flashed.

Xiao Yi finally drew his sword.
