Chapter 721 Breaking the Formation!

Luo Dao's concerns are valid.

The restrictions within this ancient hall had been dormant for countless years. When he and Lan Yichen tried to break them, although they failed, they inadvertently triggered some of the hidden formations within.

The formations, like ancient beasts awakened from their slumber, began to slowly activate, gradually revealing the aura of the Eight Treasures Qilin.

The aura was so unique, carrying the fragrance of eight kinds of heaven and earth spirits. Just smelling it made one feel refreshed and invigorated, making it hard not to attract attention.

really……

Before long, several figures flew from the city streets and landed steadily in front of the ancient palace.

Leading the group were three men and two women, all dressed in matching moon-white robes; they were members of the Patching Heaven Sect.

Their auras were all strong, and the leading man had even ignited his divine fire, emanating a faint pressure from his body.

"Is this the ancient temple you were talking about before?"

The leading man's gaze swept across the palace gate, then landed on Luo Dao, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

A woman beside her whispered, "Hmm, I smelled a strange fragrance earlier. There must be some extraordinary medicine in this hall."

The man in the lead nodded, took a deep breath, and the exotic fragrance became even clearer.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at Luo Dao, and smiled slightly: "Isn't this Fellow Daoist Luo? What are you doing here? Is there some treasure in this hall?"

Luo Dao's face darkened. He stood in front of the palace door and said coldly, "This ancient palace was discovered by Lan Yichen and me. The things inside already have owners. Please leave."

The leading man laughed: "You found it first? Everything in this ancient ruin is ownerless; whoever finds it gets a share. You say you found it first, so it's yours?"

The other woman chimed in with a coquettish laugh, "That's right, Luo Dao, can you manage to eat all this food all by yourself in such a huge ancient hall? Why don't we go in and take a look? If there's anything good, we can all share it."

Luo Dao's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists, but dared not make a move.

There are rules in Bright City that forbid private fights.

Moreover, the Patching Heaven Sect is very powerful, and he simply cannot afford to offend them alone.

But he couldn't step aside; Shi Hao was about to arrive, and the Eight Treasures Qilin had to be handed over to him.

"I told you, you are not welcome here."

Luo Dao looked at the group of people in front of him and repeated his previous words.

However, the leading man's expression turned cold upon hearing this, and he stopped arguing.

With a wave of his hand, several people behind him simultaneously unleashed their magical artifacts.

Those treasures emitted various colors of light, but instead of attacking Luo Dao, they transformed into beams of light that enveloped Luo Dao.

"you……"

Luo Dao was shocked and tried to break free, but found that the power of those treasures had actually imprisoned him.

Although it was only a few breaths, it was enough.

"go!"

The leading man gave a low shout and, along with several fellow disciples, transformed into streaks of light and charged directly into the ancient hall.

After the restraints were lifted, Luo Dao immediately followed him inside.

The hall was dimly lit, and the huge stone statue in the center still stood, its hands supporting the sky, as if watching over every intruder.

On the stone platform in front of the statue, the Eight Treasures Qilin lay quietly in a jade box, radiating seven-colored light.

"It truly is a miraculous medicine!"

The man in the lead's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it.

"stop!"

Luo Dao rushed in, blocking the stone platform, and glared angrily, saying, "Are you trying to rob us? Don't you care about the rules of Bright City?"

The leading man sneered, "Rules? What rules? In this ancient ruin, might makes right."

As soon as he finished speaking, runes suddenly lit up in the void around him.

The runes emerged from the walls, floor, and ceiling, weaving together into an impenetrable net that completely sealed off the interior of the ancient temple.

"Oh no, you've triggered the restriction!"

Luo Dao's expression changed drastically. The members of the Heaven-Mending Sect were also taken aback.

The leading man hurriedly tried to push the palace door, but found that the door did not budge, as if it had been welded shut.

He raised his hand and slammed it against the door, but was bounced back by a recoil that made his arm go numb.

"This is... an ancient restriction?"

"Damn it, we're trapped inside!"

Luo Dao sensed something was wrong. He and Lan Yichen had tested these restrictions before and knew their terrifying power, but he didn't expect them to be triggered at this time.

The members of the Patching Heaven Sect forced their way in, triggering the self-protective mechanism of the restrictions and trapping everyone inside the hall.

Worse still, the aura of the Eight Treasures Qilin was also sealed off, and it could no longer be sensed by the outside world.

This means that people outside will not know what is happening here.

And the people inside... were unable to call for help from the outside world.

The members of the Patching Heaven Sect exchanged glances, a hint of ruthlessness gradually flashing in their eyes.

The man leading the Patching Heaven Sect turned to look at Luo Dao, his gaze icy as he said, "Luo Dao, tell me... what should we do now?"

Luo Dao took a step back, looking at them warily: "What do you want?"

The man did not answer, but instead took out a long sword from the cave.

Seeing this, the others also summoned their magical artifacts and quickly surrounded Luo Dao in the middle.

"Senior brother, kill him... and the sacred medicine will be ours."

"Yes, the restrictions here isolate us from the outside world, and no one knows what's happening here."

"Kill Luo Dao, then take the sacred medicine. Once the restrictions dissipate, we'll leave without anyone noticing."

Luo Dao listened to these people's words and felt a deep sense of despair.

Those who are able to enter this ancient immortal ruins are all core disciples of various families and sects, either the first generation or the sect's prodigies, and their strength is not to be underestimated.

If Lan Yichen were here, they might be able to manage the situation.

But now he's all alone, no match for these people, and even if he fights desperately, he can't hold out for long.

"Your Patching Heaven Sect is going too far..."

Luo Dao gritted his teeth, gripping the Sparrow Sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight to the death.

However, at that moment...

"--boom!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly came from outside the hall.

The entire ancient hall trembled, and the runes sealing the hall flickered violently, as if they had been subjected to a powerful impact.

The expressions of the members of the Patching Heaven Sect changed drastically, and they turned to look at the palace gate.

"Is someone forcibly breaking the formation?"

"Impossible! This is an ancient restriction; who could break it?"

Before the words were even finished, a crack appeared on the palace door.

The crack grew larger and larger, spreading rapidly like a spider web.

A moment later, the entire palace door shattered with a crash, and a figure emerged from the smoke and dust.

He was an exceptionally handsome man, followed by a man in white and a young man in Five Elements Armor wielding a long spear.

It was Shi Hao, Lan Yichen, and Qin Hao.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, Lan Yichen, you've finally arrived..."

Upon seeing the group, Luo Dao felt as if he had seen saviors and immediately flew over.
