Chapter 472: Chapter 221: Chen Xuan! Here to Break the Formation!

’Damn them,’ Feng Wuji cursed inwardly.

’They really think those beings from the dark depths are saints.’

’If they stick with me, I can at least guarantee the safety of the vast majority.’

’But if you follow that bunch from the dark depths, you won’t even know what hit you when you die!’

’Damn it! I’ll just go get that deadly weapon and see who dies then!’

Feng Wuji’s expression hardened, and he strode directly toward the rear courtyard.

’Although that deadly weapon is difficult to control...’

’...when it comes to a critical moment, who cares if it’s controllable or not?’

’You want to kill me?’

’Then I’ll take you all down with me!’

’So what if you’re beings from the dark depths?’

’You’ll still turn to ash when you die!’

He had only walked a short distance when he suddenly sensed something. His expression changed, and he shot up into the sky.

’Have traitors appeared at the rear of Qianling City, too?’

His body soared into the air, divine light erupting from his eyes as his aura surged violently.

His gaze pierced through the darkness, landing directly on a crowd in the distance.

He felt that the figure at the very front was incredibly familiar.

’That’s... Chen Xuan! That’s Chen Xuan!!’

Feng Wuji was utterly astonished, finding it hard to believe. With a flash, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot forward at extreme speed. The closer he got, the more clearly he could see the faces at the front.

Besides Chen Xuan, there was Chu Shanhe, Lu Qilin, Gongsun Wuwo...

They were all the Dharma Aspects from the Grotto Heavens.

They had all come!

Feng Wuji’s heart leaped with joy, and he laughed heartily.

’My reinforcements have arrived!’

But he was quickly struck by shock again.

’How did Chen Xuan get so many people to come over?’

’There are at least seven or eight hundred Outer Saints!’

’And eight or nine at the Dharma Realm.’

He had contacted them countless times before, and they had all agreed verbally but had actually been making excuses.

Yet now, they were all following behind Chen Xuan.

"Young Friend Chen, you’ve really kept me waiting!"

Feng Wuji laughed and quickly flew over to greet them.

"City Lord, don’t worry. I came specifically to help!"

Chen Xuan also laughed heartily.

The two parties officially met in mid-air.

"Brother Feng, what’s the situation?"

Chu Shanhe got straight to the point and asked directly.

Zhu Jiuyou, Lu Qilin, Gongsun Wuwo, Sun Yunxiao, and the others also turned their gazes to Feng Wuji.

They were old acquaintances of Feng Wuji.

After all, Feng Wuji wasn’t just guarding this shallow expanse of darkness.

He was guarding the entire world of light.

Many of them had dealt with this man, the second-ranked expert on the Celestial Ranking, before.

"It’s difficult. Very difficult. Small-scale conflicts have been erupting constantly lately. We’ve lost more than we’ve won, and we’re continuously losing ground!"

"Just half a day ago, the Jiang family’s experts mobilized again. This time, the scale was even larger. All their powerhouses spread out, formed a great formation, and are now bearing down on us. I’ve already ordered the Vice City Lord to set up a great formation of our own to counter them. However, the enemy has superior numbers and countless masters. Even if we resist with a formation, we’re destined to not last long!"

"I came back this time to retrieve a deadly weapon!"

"That deadly weapon was secretly left behind by my master before he departed. It’s extremely difficult to control, and I really don’t want to use it unless absolutely necessary!"

Feng Wuji said quickly.

"Oh? What kind of deadly weapon is it?"

Chen Xuan asked, curious.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

Feng Wuji replied.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

Chen Xuan was startled.

’Holy crap!’

’This thing actually exists!’

In his previous life, he had heard of this item’s fearsome reputation more than once.

’There was a saying: Don’t put in the effort to cultivate, and you’ll end up as brothers in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!’

’And another: Don’t be proactive with your cultivation, and you’ll be doing Tai Chi in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!’

’Oh right, it had another name.’

’The Human Emperor Banner!’

’Of course, that last one was a joke.’

’After all, the Human Emperor Banner doesn’t emit black smoke.’

"How powerful is it?"

"I don’t know yet. It’s under layers of seals placed by my master. It’s never been used since it was forged. Let’s not talk about it for now. I’ll go get the Ten Thousand Souls Banner first, then we’ll head to the front lines!"

Feng Wuji said.

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan nodded immediately.

Feng Wuji turned and flew toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

He was invigorated and incredibly excited.

’We’re safe! We’re safe!’

’Now that Chen Xuan has brought so many experts to help...’

’...and with me retrieving the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, this is a sure victory.’

’Beings from the dark depths, I’ll make sure you don’t even have a place to be buried!’

Feng Wuji’s eyes were ice-cold.

In fact, those few beings from the dark depths had tried to assassinate him in secret before.

But he had sensed them on the spot every time.

The two sides were almost evenly matched in strength.

He found it difficult to kill them even when using all his means.

But it was also incredibly difficult for them to eliminate him.

That was why the situation had deteriorated, leading to the current state of affairs.

Chen Xuan led his people and flew over directly.

Everyone landed automatically, touching down in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Chen Xuan and Chu Shanhe, however, followed Feng Wuji personally toward the rear courtyard.

Feng Wuji arrived before a room firmly bound by chains. He formed a hand seal, muttered an incantation, and pointed a finger. Instantly, the chains retracted rapidly, like great pythons.

CREAK!

Feng Wuji stepped forward and pushed the door open.

BOOM!

A wave of sinister, strange, and cold wind blew out from the room. It surged violently, letting out a wailing sound as it swept toward Feng Wuji, Chen Xuan, and the others.

But the moment the cold wind struck, it was completely blocked by the True Essence covering Feng Wuji’s body.

He walked into the pitch-black room. In the very center, there was a table.

On the table rested a jet-black iron case.

The iron case was over a meter long and about two feet wide.

A yellow paper talisman was pasted on it, densely covered with blood-red characters.

Without hesitation, Feng Wuji grabbed the iron case and started walking out, saying, "Let’s go!"

"Is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner inside this?"
