Chapter 665 Unification Phalanx
As Xiao Shun watched his opponents one by one giving way for him, he shrugged and with a relaxed smile on his lips, he headed straight towards the mountainside ahead.
These so-called Old School Society experts were almost all “cultivators”, attempting to stop him with their numbers was clearly impossible.
Just now, he was just a spiritual energy vortex, and he instantly dealt with more than half of the obstacles in his path, which was a great example.
Without a word, Xiao Shun arrived at a small hill without any hindrance.
A few dozen meters ahead, there was a small pavilion. It was unclear when it was built, but its shape exuded an ancient charm.
Inside the pavilion, there were about twenty people, all of them looked extraordinary, and they should be the Seniors of the Old School Society.
Among these people, there was also an old acquaintance of Xiao Shun, the high leader who was domineering at the “Hero Cup”.
“Just a moment ago, he was able to come here. It seems there’s more to him than meets the eye!”
“Hmph, I think this person is probably using his physical skills, otherwise it would be impossible!”
“Did you feel the energy fluctuation just now?”
…
Silence filled the pavilion.
Just a while ago, they had felt a powerful energy fluctuation at the foot of the mountain.
The overwhelming force released from that, startled these Seniors, as even they had not experienced such a violent fluctuation!
While everyone was secretly contemplating, the high leader slowly spoke, “We must not be careless. This person’s strength displayed in the ‘Hero Cup’ is definitely not to be underestimated, and at that time, he deliberately suppressed his power!”
As the strongest among these Seniors, the high leader saw through what the others did not see from that outburst of energy just now.
He believed that during Xiao Shun’s battle with Gu Baiyi, he must have hidden a small portion of his strength.
After all, judging from the energy just now, Gu Baiyi was definitely not a match for Xiao Shun!
While the group was discussing, Xiao Shun had already walked outside the pavilion.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Looking at the Old School Society Seniors sitting inside, he smiled faintly.
“Hehe, twenty ‘Foundation realm peak’ individuals, and a ‘Posterior’ cultivator. What a powerful lineup!”
At this point, the high leader stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, staring at Xiao Shun and questioning, “Xiao Shun, have you ever considered the consequences of causing a rift with our Old School Society?”
“No,” Xiao Shun shook his head and smiled lightly, “That’s not within my consideration.”
“Arrogant!”
“Daring!”
Two Seniors were provoked by his dismissive words and immediately shouted.
Xiao Shun remained silent, looking at the two who had just reprimanded him, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.
Under his piercing gaze, the two “Foundation realm peak” Seniors felt a chill creeping up from their feet, instantly enveloping their entire bodies.
Just a simple glance was enough to make the two experts feel fearful.
This was a bit too intimidating.
At this point, the remaining Old School Society Seniors were also feeling nervous.
Seeing how easily Xiao Shun’s gaze had affected the two Seniors, they too felt apprehensive.
The high leader, seeing that after just one glance, their side had been completely defeated by Xiao Shun’s eyes, was not pleased with this turn of events.
He quickly frowned and said in a low voice, “Xiao Shun, Master Nie is personally overseeing the Cliffside Array at the moment. Even though you are skillful, you are no match for us. If you surrender, I will plead for leniency on your behalf to the head of our sect!”
His words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly rallying their anxious colleagues.
Yes, Master Nie is on the mountain right now, what do we have to fear from Xiao Shun?”
“Surrender?” Xiao Shun sneered.
“Hehe, it seems you think quite highly of yourself.”
The high leader and the others sneered.
“Overestimating yourself. Do you really want to fight your way up the mountain?”
Never mind whether Xiao Shun could break through the hands of more than twenty Seniors.
Even if he managed to make it to the top of the mountain, Nie Jiuchong was still there, and after a round of battle, not even a deity would be able to save him!
In the face of the high leader’s disdain, Xiao Shun spoke loudly.
“Cliffside belongs to the ‘Hanging Flask Inn’, according to rights. It is under the jurisdiction of my New School Society. You lead your troops here to try and seize my territory, and now you want me to surrender. It’s quite absurd!”
At this moment, a burly man arrogantly chuckled, “The Old School Society governs practitioners of all kinds in all directions, while you are just a remote king of a small place. How dare you compete with us for control of the Hanging Flask Inn?”
His words were met with numerous agreements, and all the Seniors immediately began to rebuke Xiao Shun nearby.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled faintly.
“All of you, please remember one thing. I didn’t come here to argue with you… After all, my reasoning… lies in my fists!”
Before his words had even finished, Xiao Shun’s aura suddenly changed, and he shot towards the pavilion like a unsheathed sword, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake. The speed was so fast that even the high leader and others’ faces turned pale.
Immediately, the high leader shouted, “Don’t underestimate him, form a formation to stop him!”
Hearing this, the others quickly reacted, and under the leadership of the high leader, they formed an extremely mysterious formation, instantly enveloping Xiao Shun who was charging towards them!
Sensing the unusual changes around him, Xiao Shun halted his attack, and calmly surveyed his surroundings.
He could feel an invisible “field” enveloping him.
Within this field, the operation of Xiao Shun’s spiritual energy even began to slow down, and there also seemed to be an invisible resistance attached to his body, making his movements unusually stiff and slow.
As he carefully pondered the unusual changes around him, the high leader standing not far away looked as if victory was within his grasp, and sneered at Xiao Shun, “Boy, today you will understand the power of Old School Society’s ‘Unification Phalanx’!”
The ‘Unification Phalanx’ was an ultimate formation that the Old School Society had discovered in a secret location in their early years. It required at least ten ‘Foundation realm’ cultivators to maintain, and was then presided over by a ‘Posterior’ expert.
Once this formation was activated, it could confine a space and impart profound and mysterious changes to everything inside, as well as significantly weaken the opponent’s strength.
The reason Xiao Shun had felt strange just now was all due to this formation’s restraint.
However, he was not someone who liked to be restricted by others. Even though the situation was grim, he remained unwavering.
Gathering his focus, Xiao Shun stepped forward again, moving to the side of the high leader.
Through his observation just now, he had already identified that the high leader was the key to breaking the formation. By defeating him, the formation would naturally collapse!
