Chapter 1492: Chapter 72 Action_2

However, her expression soon changed subtly.

The stream of mortals surged around her, yet four figures stood firm like boulders, unaffected by the crowd. Instead of being pushed back, they silently closed in from all sides, subtly sealing off her escape routes.

Wang Qingyang’s expression remained unchanged as her gaze swept over these four individuals.

“Four Golden Cores?”

Meanwhile, the Rogue Cultivators who sensed something amiss in the atmosphere swiftly flew towards the city’s outskirts with remarkable alacrity.

Although they didn’t know what would happen, none were foolish enough to linger, disregarding any potential rewards as they quickly fled.

No sooner had they ascended than one of the Golden Core Practitioners standing atop the city walls effortlessly captured them with a wave of his hand!

The mortals scattered, panicked like startled birds, but no one paid them any heed.

In the blink of an eye,

on the open space not far from the city gates, only Wang Qingyang and the four surrounding Golden Core Practitioners remained.

Wang Qingyang’s expression darkened slightly as she surveyed the four individuals, as well as the Cultivators peeking over the city wall, her voice growing colder:

“What do you mean by this?”

A ruddy-faced Cultivator said with a chuckle:

“Hehe, esteemed guest, you sneak about and arrive at Rongmeng City cloaked in invisibility, yet you are questioning us? Isn’t this a case of a guilty party accusing others first?”

Wang Qingyang’s expression tightened.

She had indeed concealed her trail, but unexpectedly someone saw through her disguise.

The ruddy-faced Cultivator then cheerfully added:

“However, we have no desire to trouble you, Taoist Friend. How about this: accompany us to meet our Family Master. If he finds no issues with you, you’re free to move about the city, and we won’t interfere.”

“Family Master Xiao?”

A thought flickered through Wang Qingyang’s mind.

Meeting Family Master Xiao would actually save her some trouble.

The only complication was that she wasn’t sure how to deal with Family Master Xiao.

After some thought, she didn’t refuse and nodded:

“Alright, then take me to see him.”

Upon hearing Wang Qingyang’s response, the four figures were momentarily astonished, having not expected Wang Qingyang to actually agree.

The ruddy-faced Cultivator sized her up a few times, unable to help but ask:

“You… you’re not deceiving me, are you?”

Wang Qingyang remained calm:

“Why don’t you take me there and see for yourself?”

The four exchanged glances.

All could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

How did this person cultivate to the Golden Core Realm? Is she really this gullible?

However, since the Golden Core female Cultivator was so cooperative, they naturally seemed pleased to oblige.

They immediately prepared to escort Wang Qingyang towards the Xiao family’s estate.

But just at that moment–

‘Boom!’

Accompanied by that loud noise, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Wang Qingyang, sensing something, abruptly looked up at the sky.

She saw a pale red Formation Light Shield floating above.

This was the Great Array that protected Rongmeng City, activated in response to a threat.

However, this Formation now appeared to be on the brink of collapse.

The light of the Formation shook violently, quivering as if it could break at any moment.

And in the next instant,

a massive black Mana hand flew from the horizon, crashing down upon the Formation with a crushing blow!

All at once, the sky darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light!

Another immense rumble.

The entire Formation was torn apart by a vast hole, signaling its breach.

It all happened in less than a moment,

yet every person in the city had already turned pale with shock.

The four Golden Core Practitioners who surrounded Wang Qingyang couldn’t help but show expressions of terror.

The more experienced ruddy-faced Golden Core Practitioner cried out urgently:

“Enemy assault!”

“Enemy assault!”

The next moment, sensing the commotion outside,

from the distant Xiao family territory, suddenly an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul soared into the sky.

“It’s Grandmaster Yuanhai!”

Seeing the figure of the Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, the ruddy-faced Cultivator immediately showed a look of elation.

But Xiao Yuanhai at this moment seemed pained as he looked towards the distant sky, shouting angrily:

“Who goes there, daring to violate my Xiao Family’s Rongmeng–”

His voice abruptly ceased at that moment.

He stood dumbfounded, staring at the figures hurtling from afar, along with the towering Demonic Qi that was not the least bit concealed!

Terror, stemming from the depths of his memories, seized his entire will in an instant!

“The… primitive Holy Sect?!”

The next moment, a black Mana palm howled through the air, slamming into him!

Xiao Yuanhai’s face changed drastically, and he immediately clenched his teeth, mustering all his Mana. A tide of vengeful spirits rose up, shrieking and wailing, creating a flood of tormented souls to meet the onslaught.

Simultaneously, he pleaded loudly:

“Upper Sect! Why do you strike against us? Could there be some misunderstanding? We’ve offered countless Tributes and Blood Sacrifice gifts year after year, why does the Upper Sect still make moves against us? What have we done wrong? Please enlighten us, Upper Sect…”

However, after only a few dodges, the gap between them proved too vast; Xiao Yuanhai was quickly bound by the towering figure from the Demon Sect.

Meanwhile, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, seven figures rushed over in quick succession.
