Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 897: Chapter 896 Formation Complete

These people watched Su Yang and his companions set up the formation and arrange the positions, looking pitiable, hoping that Su Yang would let them stand up first for having knelt for such a long time.

However, Su Yang, from beginning to end, did not even glance at them, as if they didn’t exist at all in his eyes.

Watching Su Yang lead those people back into the Medical Saint Sect, those kneeling outside almost felt the urge to cry. Su Yang was heading back, likely to rest; did that mean they had to kneel here until dawn?

But even if they really knelt until dawn, it wasn’t certain that Su Yang would allow them to get up. They really didn’t know how long they would have to kneel.

About an hour passed, and seeing no movement within the Medical Saint Sect, one man who was relatively towards the back cautiously stood up and tiptoed, attempting to slip away.

The eyes of the others lit up; at this time, Su Yang and his people should be resting, certainly lowering their vigilance. If they didn’t escape now, then when?

However, even though everyone had this thought, they didn’t dare to act, just staring intently at the fleeing man. If this man could escape, then they would immediately follow suit.

But the man had barely taken two steps when he suddenly stood still in place, as if he was frozen.

Everyone was astounded—why did he suddenly stop? Could it be a change of heart?

Soon, they realized something was wrong. The man froze in place for a while, then slowly collapsed on the ground. Immediately after, a patch of dark red blood appeared beneath him—he was dead on the spot.

With this, everyone promptly behaved, kneeling upright without daring to entertain other thoughts.

Now they understood that attempting such tricks in front of Su Yang was truly like a long-lived person courting death.

After more than an hour, Su Yang once again emerged with people from the Great Sects. Everyone dispersed and entered the mountain, standing in the positions determined earlier.

Watching these people go in, Su Yang then asked some people following behind to start descending the mountain.

As these people were halfway down, Su Yang directly commanded, ”Activate the formation!”

Those standing in positions around Accumulated Cloud Mountain simultaneously took out the Supreme Green Jade in their hands. At that moment, the stars in the sky suddenly shone brighter, and three hundred sixty-five rays of light descended from the heavens, echoing the Supreme Green Jade in the hands of the people.

At the same time, a mist began to envelop the mountain. Those walking through that mist immediately began to circle around disorientedly, like headless flies, completely clueless about which way to go.

The Sect Leaders, Gate Leaders and Great Elders, who were following Su Yang, were stunned by this magical scene and asked, ”What... what’s happening here?”

”This is the simplest Star Array,” Su Yang explained. ”It utilizes the power of the stars to confuse the mind, making it impossible for people to find their way. Of course, if the guardians of the formation are too weak, they can only channel the power of the stars to achieve this effect, temporarily preventing people from exiting. If they were stronger and could harness the power of the stars, the formation would become lethal. By then, even experts of the Fusion Realm wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping once inside!”

Everyone was shocked, and a Sect Leader excitedly said, ”This formation, can it trap nearly ten thousand people?”

”This is limited by the area. If this land could be more expansive, it could accommodate tens of thousands of people,” said Su Yang.

”Good heavens, this formation is incredibly strong!” everyone exclaimed excitedly.

Su Yang smiled. The Star Array was naturally formidable, after all, it was one of the most powerful formations recorded in Destiny’s Tome.

The Star Array, officially known as the Zhou Tian Star Fighting Formation, when practiced to its limits, could integrate the stars of the heavens and earth within it. It was said to be capable of guarding a world, with terrifying power so immense that even Immortals who fell into the formation could only despair and die. Trapping ordinary people was naturally a trivial matter!

”With this formation, our chances of winning this battle have greatly increased!” a Sect Leader said excitedly.

Su Yang replied with a light smile, ”That’s why I say, there’s no need for everyone to worry too much. We may not necessarily lose this battle!”

Everyone nodded, now genuinely filled with hope after seeing all this.

”Master Su...” a Sect Leader suddenly said, ”You mentioned that the positions of those guarding the formation shouldn’t be disturbed, otherwise, the formation will be destroyed. Under normal circumstances tomorrow, there should be two to three thousand people trapped within this formation. Even if these people get lost in the formation, they would still be walking within its bounds. What if they unknowingly approach the guardians of the formation and injure them? Wouldn’t that break the formation?”

This question immediately made the others look towards Su Yang, indeed highlighting a flaw that caused concern.

”There is no need to worry,” Su Yang reassured with a smile. ”The guardians will be protected by the power of the stars. Anyone trapped in the formation will be drawn by its force and will not be able to reach the guardians.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yang continued, ”Of course, we must be on guard against those in the Integration Realm. They can approach the guardians. Though they may be able to exit the Star Array, they will be somewhat affected upon entering. Even if they manage to locate the guardians, getting close to them will require effort. Tomorrow, the task for all the Sect Leaders, Great Elders, as well as Mr. Huo and Mr. Nan, will be to stop those in the Integration Realm from approaching the guardians!”

At this moment, Huo Zihen and the others finally understood why Su Yang had tasked them with stopping those in the Integration Realm—it was for this reason.

”Rest assured, Master Su, leave it to us!” Huo Zihen declared.

Su Yang responded with a modest smile of thanks and stood at the peak, gazing at the distant mountain path, he said softly, ”After tomorrow’s battle, the scenery of Accumulated Cloud Mountain will no longer be the same, will it?”

Following Su Yang’s gaze, everyone knew that if the Divine Physicians Alliance emerged victorious, Accumulated Cloud Mountain would become a holy site in the Southern Six Provinces, naturally changing its splendor!

The question remained, however, could they win this battle?

The Star Array was not an issue, and the task of Huo Zihen and others to stop the Integration Realm experts was manageable.

The real challenge lay with Su Yang himself. Could he achieve victory facing so many Sovereigns alone?

Now, the critical point of this battle once again rested in Su Yang’s hands. If Su Yang could triumph, then they could win the battle. But if Su Yang lost, then they too would lose!
