Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The Killing Formation, Life Formation, and Death Formation, while increasing in power respectively, have a gradually decreasing range of protection.

The Killing Formation could protect the thousands of feet encompassing the Lanfang Sect, including the main peak and its affiliated mountain ranges. However, the Life Formation's protective range shrank to only a few hundred feet, capable of guarding only the main body of the Lanfang Sect, leaving the other mountain peaks and spiritual springs unattended. As for the final 'Death Formation,' its protective range was even smaller, only capable of protecting the plaza where everyone was located, serving as the last barrier of the Lanfang Sect.

It was called the Death Formation because once it was breached, the Lanfang Sect would undoubtedly be doomed! Over tens of thousands of years, the Lanfang Sect had its Killing Formation and Life Formation broken, but this Death Formation had never been breached. Therefore, these young Lanfang Sect disciples firmly believed that this time, nothing would happen either.

However, their thinking was still too naive.

Although the Lanfang Sect's three formations were strong, they needed someone to control them to maximize their power in both offense and defense. But with the cultivation levels of these children, they could only activate the most basic defensive functions of these three formations and could not use the offensive methods within them. As a result, the power of these three formations was greatly reduced.

So, as everyone trembled in fear, they heard a loud 'Boom!' as the golden light罩 (zhào, cover/shield) conjured by the Life Formation collapsed under the immense pressure.

"Haha! Brothers, follow me and charge! Once we get through this gate, the Lanfang Sect will be doomed, and our days of liberation are not far away!"

At that moment, accompanied by an excited shout, thousands of people as dense as ants, led by a middle-aged man in a blue robe, surged into the plaza from the outside, completely surrounding the fifty-odd Lanfang Sect disciples!

"嗡 (wēng, humming sound)!"

But at this moment, a red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield) suddenly emerged from around these children and spread rapidly outwards.

This red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield) contained extremely vast power, with strong killing intent circulating around it. Wherever it swept, no matter how strong the person was, they would explode and die instantly.

So, before long, hundreds of intruders died from coming into contact with this red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield).

The red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield) continued to spread outwards for a hundred feet before stopping, then transformed into an inverted bowl shape, protecting the bewildered and helpless Lanfang Sect disciples.

"Leader Liang, the power of this Death Formation is so strong, can we really break through it?" After seeing the power of the red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield), one of the men in white immediately stepped forward and asked with surprise and doubt.

The identity of this middle-aged man in blue was actually the leader of the Heartless Sect. And this Heartless Sect was the second largest sect in Busheng Prefecture, second only to the Lanfang Sect. They had long harbored the intention of replacing the Lanfang Sect. But because they lacked an opportunity, they had always submitted to the Lanfang Sect.

Now, after learning of the major changes within the Lanfang Sect, Leader Liang realized that the opportunity had arrived. So he hurriedly gathered other sects, traveled day and night, and broke through all the Lanfang Sect's defenses, until reaching this plaza!

"Hehe, Sect Leader Bai, we've already reached this point, are you perhaps afraid and want to withdraw?" Looking at the man in white who had stepped forward, Leader Liang smiled sinisterly and said coldly.

"Of course not." The man in white's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he hurriedly shook his head, saying, "Leader Liang, you should know that our White Saber Sect has always been loyal to you, how could we be afraid? It's just that you've also seen that the power contained within this red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield) is too terrifying, several times stronger than the Killing Formation and Life Formation combined, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through."

"Hmph, how can you achieve great things with such timidity?" However, after hearing the man in white's hidden worries, Leader Liang became somewhat angry. His gaze turned gloomy as he said, "You must remember that the current Lanfang Sect is no longer the powerful Lanfang Sect it once was. Although this Death Formation is terrifying, because no one is controlling it, it's just a simple protective light罩 (zhào, cover/shield). And with so many of us, are we still afraid of not being able to break it!"

Compared to the man in white, Leader Liang seemed much more confident. After all, he had been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and now that it was about to be achieved, how could he easily retreat?

But after hearing these words, the man in white still looked doubtful, and he opened his mouth again, saying, "Leader Liang, I naturally don't take these inexperienced children seriously, but I'm afraid that once Li Qianyun returns and sees this scene, she might fly into a rage. At that time, we might all not survive!"

It turned out that what the man in white truly feared was Li Qianyun!

After all, he knew how powerful Li Qianyun was, and he also understood very well that everyone here combined could not possibly be Li Qianyun's opponent!

"Hmph, can't worry about that much anymore, since we've already come this far, there's no turning back!" Hearing the man in white's worries, Leader Liang's gaze turned cold, and he said coldly, "You should understand that we're all in the same boat now. We live together, we die together, there's no other choice. We can only keep moving forward! Advance or die, do you understand?"

"This… Alright!"

Hearing Leader Liang's firm tone, the man in white seemed to have made up his mind as well, and he no longer refuted. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly loudly ordered the crowd behind him, "Listen up, take up your magical treasures and attack with all your might! Whoever can break this Death Formation will have performed a great service, and our Leader Liang will surely reward you handsomely!"

Everyone knew that they were doing something life-threatening, and there was no possibility of turning back. So, after hearing these words, they all roared angrily, then once again took up the magical treasures in their hands and fiercely attacked the red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield) in the center of the plaza.

"Boom!"

After a wave of attacks, although they failed to break through the red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield), it caused the entire light罩 (zhào, cover/shield) to shake violently. Seeing this scene, the Lanfang Sect disciples with weaker cultivation levels became even more afraid, as if they could already see the footsteps of death approaching them!

"Senior Sister Qianyun, where are you? Come and save us!" The young man surnamed Zhang also felt despair in his heart. His face was pale as he murmured weakly.

"Hmph, stop dreaming! Let me tell you, no matter who comes today, it's useless. Just obediently die!" After hearing the young man surnamed Zhang's words, Leader Liang sneered disdainfully. Then, he formed hand seals, preparing to continue attacking the red light罩 (zhào, cover/shield).

"Oh, is it really that no matter who comes, it's useless?"

However, at this moment, a voice as cold as ice and devoid of any emotion, like the Grim Reaper, suddenly drifted over from afar.
