The World that Tao Rules, Volume 18, page 24
"I thought it was just a coincidence, but then, another group of twenty-seven people from the southeast direction were also attacked and breached by the enemies in the group."
"I still thought it was a fluke, but just now, a group of ninety-nine people from the east direction was also breached!"
"Once is a coincidence, twice is a fluke, but three times definitely can't be just a coincidence or a fluke."
"What's more, the number of people in the three breached groups doubled each time, which can only mean that someone in the Hall of Deicide has finally found a way to break through the Nine Blood Chain Array!"
Because Jiang Yun was on the battlefield, which covered almost the whole Desolate World.
Even though his divine sense was powerful, it couldn't cover the entire battlefield. Therefore, he couldn't see the fighting situations in the distant areas, only focusing on what was happening within a few miles.
Unlike Tianluo, who was a commander with great strength, he always stayed high in the sky to oversee the whole Desolate World. So, he needed to know every detail of the battlefield in order to give commands immediately.
Therefore, after witnessing three different Nine Blood Chain Arrays being directly breached in various locations, he naturally inferred that someone in the Hall of Deicide had figured out how to break through the arrays!
After hearing Tianluo's explanation, Jiang Yun finally understood the reason behind the strange feeling he had just experienced.
It turned out that his unease was not because Taoist Lord was going to kill him, but because the Nine Blood Chain Array had been broken!
The Nine Blood Chain Array was not originally created by Jiang Yun, but was based on the Nine Snow Loop Array set up by Xue Mucheng. Jiang Yun improved it by combining his understanding of formations and his skills in formations.
Even though this formation was very powerful, it didn't mean it was flawless.
Where there are formations, there are ways to break them.
The reputation of the Nine Blood Chain Array spread widely, so enemies like the Hall of Deicide from the three major tribes would definitely try everything to crack the formation.
Although the Desolate World tribe trained in this formation in specially designated military camps and strictly kept it secret, many people had already witnessed it during the Military Merit Competition.
Among those people, there must have been cultivators from the Hall of Deicide.
Even though just by watching, they might not have been able to figure out how to break the formation, Jiang Yun later taught the formation separately to the Samsara clan and the Chaos tribe.
The two families kept their secrets very well, but it wasn't difficult for the Hall of Deicide to send someone in to find out the specific layout of this formation.
In this ancient era, there were definitely many cultivators who were skilled in formations.
For example, the Zhen Dao Sect, which had not yet been established but was already taking shape!
So it was normal for someone capable of breaking through a formation to appear.
Jiang Yun had actually thought about the possibility of someone being able to break the Nine Blood Chain Array of the Hall of Deicide.
However, he had no way to deal with it.
After all, Jiang Yun was not the most knowledgeable in formations; it was Xue Mucheng and Hou Muran who truly excelled in them.
Jiang Yun was like standing on the shoulders of these two, creating the Nine Blood Chain Array.
This formation was the ultimate manifestation of his knowledge in formations; it was impossible to increase its power or add more variations.
So he could only pray that such a person would not appear, but unexpectedly, what was supposed to come finally could not be avoided.
"Oh no, another formation in the west has been broken, and this time, it's the formation of a thousand people!"
Just then, Tianluo's voice rang out again.
At this moment, Jiang Yun forcibly suppressed the slight panic rising in his heart, and calmly said to himself, "Tianluo, there's no need to think about it, someone must have broken the formation."
"And it must have been not long ago, right after arriving on this battlefield, that they found this person!"
"I'm already searching for them!"
It must be said that both Jiang Yun and Tianluo were extremely meticulous in their thinking, and immediately speculated on the general situation.
If the Hall of Deicide had long known the method to break the formation, or had someone to break the formation, then it would not have been possible for them not to use it until they were in a losing situation.
Therefore, it could only be that among the reinforcements continuously arriving from the Hall of Deicide, there came someone who could break the Nine Blood Chain Array.
Tianluo's voice sounded again, saying, "Not long ago, the big army from the Hall of Deicide suddenly attacked fiercely, probably to distract us and hide the appearance of that person."
"So, the person who broke the formation appeared at that time."
"But the Hall of Deicide always had reinforcements coming, I couldn't remember who showed up at that time."
"Also, this person intentionally broke the formations in different directions, so we couldn't find his location easily, that's why it will take some time to find him."
"Find him as soon as possible!"
Jiang Yun's voice carried a strong intention to kill, "Additionally, inform everyone that until we find this person, there should be no less than ten thousand people in the Nine Blood Chain Array formation!"
Jiang Yun knew that the enemy's method of breaking formations was not flawless, that's why they continuously tested on smaller formations first before gradually increasing the number of people in the formation.
So far, after four tests, the enemy could instantly break a formation of a thousand people, which means any formation with less than a thousand people could be broken at any time.
Therefore, until they find this person, Jiang Yun had to make sure everyone formed a ten-thousand-person formation to ensure everyone's temporary safety.
Chapter 1008: Taoist Lord Appears
You see, the main reason why the three major clans are able to have an advantage in this big battle is because of the incredible power of the Nine Blood Chain Array.
If the Nine Blood Chain Array doesn't work, it would be a fatal blow for the people of the three major clans who are already familiar with this formation.
The Reincarnation and Chaos clans are not as affected, as they are also skilled with this formation, but they haven't practiced it for long.
Even without setting up this formation, after a brief period of chaos, they can still switch to other formations.
However, the Desolate World tribe is different.
The two million troops of the Desolate World tribe have already engraved the arrangement of this formation deep in their blood and souls.
In fact, initially Jiang Yun strictly ordered them to at least maintain a group of nine people living, eating, and practicing together.
If the Nine Blood Chain Array fails, not to mention them, even Huang Yu and other Desolate Generals may not be able to react quickly in a short period of time.
Even if they tried to change their formation, they couldn't do it in time.
If they don't even have a basic formation and have to fight alone, they will just be pawns in this big battle!
The defeat of the Desolate World tribe army, even if the Reincarnation and Chaos clans can turn the tide and defeat the Hall of Deicide army, for Jiang Yun, it has no meaning anymore.
Jiang Yun's mission is to change the fate of the Desolate World tribe, not the fate of the Reincarnation and Chaos clans.
No matter what, he must prioritize the safety of the Desolate World tribe people.
But no matter what, he must find the person who can break the formation!
Since there's no way to increase the power of the Nine Blood Chain Array, they have to kill the opponent!
Jiang Yun was also busy, continuously spreading his divine sense all around, looking for suspicious figures, but there was no response from Tianluo's side.
Even though Jiang Yun was very anxious, he knew that finding this person would take some time.
After all, there were millions of people here, and the other person must be hiding really well. It won't be easy to find them.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yun heard Tianluo's voice again, "I found him, but just now, a huge formation of thousands of people has been broken!"
Jiang Yun coldly said two words, "Where is he?"
"To the east of you, about a thousand miles away, there is a woman in white clothes."
"I have sent someone to kill her, but besides a large group of cultivators around her, there are also nine elderly men with the weakest Daoxing."
"You go there by yourself. By the time you reach her, the Desolate World tribe will probably be almost wiped out!"
Jiang Yun's divine sense immediately formed into a straight line, spreading wildly thousands of miles away, and indeed saw a young woman in white clothes.
The woman in white sat cross-legged on the ground, just like Tianluo, her lips moving continuously, conveying commands.
Around her, nine white-haired old men also sat cross-legged, with their eyes closed, paying no attention to what was happening around them.
Outside the nine elders, there were at least over one hundred thousand cultivators in a large group!
Clearly, this woman was indeed the one who broke the formation, also known as another commander in this great battle at the Hall of Deicide, apart from the mysterious leader, so the Hall of Deicide protected her in layers.
Thousands of miles away, normally Jiang Yun could instantly reach, but on this battlefield, he had to cross thousands of miles, which meant facing thousands of killings.
Even if he could kill all those blocking him, he would still have to face a large number of cultivators and the weakest nine experts in the Daoxing Realm in the end!
This is almost impossible!
"I'll let Huang Junyan directly take action and kill her!"
As the great battle continued to this point, apart from the sacred objects of the five major clans and their clan leaders, as well as Huang Junyan and Tianluo, almost everyone had joined the battle.
Although the three major clans had many top experts, no one could step forward to kill the woman.
The sacred objects and clan leaders of the five major clans were used for deterrence. Unless their own clans were truly in a life-and-death crisis, they would not move.
General Tianluo, as the leader, if he has to personally fight the enemy, then there's no point in continuing the battle.
So only Huang Junyan can find some time to go and kill that woman.
With Huang Junyan's strength, it won't take much time to kill the woman.
Just as General Tianluo finished speaking, the black palace in the sky suddenly shook and emitted a bright light. In this light, a figure slowly walked out.
The appearance of this figure immediately caught everyone's attention, causing a moment of silence in the battlefield of millions.
Watching this middle-aged scholar walking out of the palace, even those who had never seen him before could easily recognize him as Taoist Lord.
In the eyes of Jiang Yun and General Tianluo, he was Taoist Lord's doppelgänger!
The great battle had been going on for several hours, and even though Taoist Lord had arrived earlier, he had stayed inside the palace until now before finally revealing himself.
Most people didn't know why Taoist Lord suddenly appeared, only Jiang Yun and General Tianluo understood that Taoist Lord was there to protect the woman and distract Huang Junyan!
"Good at scheming!"
Tianluo's voice was no longer calm as usual, but with a hint of resentment added!
Although he didn't care about anyone's life or death present, he did care about his own life.
His life depended on Jiang Yun, as Jiang Yun needed approval from the Desolate World tribe's sacred object, and the tribe had to win the battle first.
However, a white-clad woman appeared in the Hall of Deicide, changing the course of the battle. Taoist Lord also appeared, restraining Huang Junyan. The longer the battle dragged on, the more casualties the Desolate World tribe suffered.
Eventually leading to defeat!
Jiang Yun also gazed deeply at Taoist Lord, agreeing with Tianluo's words that Taoist Lord was indeed good at scheming!
He would rather reveal himself than let his mysterious chief appear.
Due to the breakthrough made by the white-clad woman, the chief still needed to lead the Hall of Deicide's army.
This shows that the Taoist Lord had planned the battle process before the big battle began.
Even when Hall of Deicide was losing in the early stages of the battle, he remained calm, waiting for the appearance of the woman in white.
He knew that once the woman in white was found, the three big tribes would do anything to kill her. At that moment, he would show up to protect her.
"Chief of the Desolate World tribe!" The Taoist Lord smiled lightly and looked at Huang Junyan. "After this battle, I wonder if you will still be the chief!"
Although Huang Junyan had heard Tianluo's message and knew about the woman in white, he couldn't bring himself to kill her when facing the Taoist Lord. He smiled and said, "I wonder who gave you the courage to call yourself a lord!"
"Haha, if I can destroy your Nine Silent Clans, why can't I call myself a lord?"
"Enough talk, let's battle!"
Without many words, Huang Junyan's Desolate Mark surged out under his sleeves, and the Taoist Lord, with a laugh, fearlessly entered the Desolate Mark.
Under the cover of Desolate Mark, outsiders couldn't see what was happening inside. Jiang Yun's eyes glinted coldly as he suddenly turned and looked a great distance behind him.
There was a team of ten thousand people fighting bravely against the enemy, and this team used to be called the "Waste Team"!
Even though Jiang Yun let them move freely, they always followed closely behind him.
Jiang Yun knew this, and he really wanted to protect them as much as possible, so he never stopped them from following him.
Now, as Jiang Yun turned around, Ezheng and the others heard Jiang Yun's voice in their ears, saying, "Hurry back to the skyship, Elder Huang will show you the way. Thousands of miles away, we will fight together, follow me to battle!"
Chapter 1009: A Thousand Miles Away
Although Ezheng and the others knew that Jiang Yun didn't really need their protection, they were worried that something might happen to Jiang Yun.
Especially after the brief but thrilling battle between Jiang Yun and Jian Sheng just now, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
Huang Yu felt the same way, so they all followed along.
Even though they didn't know that there was someone who could break the formation in the Hall of Deicide, and they were unaware that the three major tribes had switched from an advantage to a disadvantage, when they heard Jiang Yun's call, it made them all shiver and shout together, "Yes, sir!"
They didn't need Huang Yu's orders at all. Everyone pushed their speed to the limit and crazily flew towards Jiang Yun's skyship in the sky.
Although the Hall of Deicide had already spotted the lonely skyship not joining the battle, they didn't care since there was no one on board. The ship remained motionless in the air.
The team of thousands almost immediately boarded the skyship, with Elder Huang's voice ringing in their ears, "To the east, a thousand miles away!"
"Buzz!"
The skyship trembled slightly and suddenly started, rushing towards the distant horizon.
As for Jiang Yun, right after instructing everyone, he turned into a lightning bolt and soared into the sky, heading towards the woman in white ahead of everyone.
Since no one from the three major tribes could kill the woman in white in the current situation, it had to be him.
Although Jiang Yun didn't want to take the team of thousands, there were over a hundred thousand cultivators protecting the woman in white. He couldn't reach her quickly on his own.
Therefore, he had to summon the team of thousands. When he reached the woman in white, he would personally lead the team to break through the protection of the hundred thousand cultivators!
