Chapter 877 The Great Demon Self-Destructs
With the Western sect members and Yang Jiao and others taking the initiative, the battle situation on the Xiqi side showed no improvement whatsoever. In the end, in order to prevent the Shang dynasty from seizing all of Xiqi's grain, Ji Fa used a small banner to issue an order for the great demons whose grain had not been taken to temporarily leave Xiqi with the grain!
The powerful figures of the Yin Shang dynasty were pleased to see the great demons leave Xiqi with the grain, since they would consider their mission complete once they had plundered all the grain within Xiqi's borders!
Originally, Ji Fa thought that the great demons would be able to return once the Yin Shang experts left. However, not long after the Yin Shang experts finished plundering the grain and left the territory of Xiqi, the Yin Shang side activated the great formation, which made it impossible for the great demons to re-enter Xiqi!
After all, this great formation is not like other great formations, which only have strong resistance to the creatures inside the formation, and can be easily broken through from the outside!
According to the Tongtian Sect Leader's estimate, it would take at least the strength of a Quasi-Saint to break through this formation from the outside. Even with the cultivation level of those great demons who escaped from Xiqi, even if they sacrificed themselves and self-destructed, they could only shake the formation. It would be a long way from breaking through the formation!
The moment the formation rose again, Ji Fa felt a little numb. It was this formation that had driven Xiqi to the brink of despair. If it weren't for Zixiao coming to the rescue, Xiqi would have been finished long ago!
Now that this great formation has risen again, Ji Fa is filled with deep despair and has deep doubts about his father Ji Chang's so-called "heavenly prosperity of Xiqi"!
However, the only thing that makes Ji Fa feel gratified at the moment is that there is a demon from Xiqi outside the formation. He can use the small banner to control the big demon and make them risk their lives to test how strong the formation's defense is!
What Ji Fa didn't know was that, in addition to the previous great formation, the Jiejiao Immortals of the Yin Shang side had also taken advantage of the gap in repairing the trapping formation to set up another great formation on the outermost perimeter, specifically for defense, thus forming a formation within a formation!
This defensive formation was devised by the Tongtian Sect Master. In order to maximize the formation's defensive power, the Tongtian Sect Master directly sacrificed the internal protection of the formation. If anyone were to attempt to sabotage it from the inside, even a mortal cultivator at the very bottom of the prehistoric food chain could easily destroy it.
However, this sacrifice has its rewards. The defensive power of the formation has been maximized. The only problem is that this great formation is missing a supreme treasure-level array eye. Otherwise, unless it is a Saint of the sixth level or above, there is no way to break it from the outside!
The formation is now devoid of the innate treasure as its core, which has reduced its defensive capabilities. However, given the current suppressing object at the core of the formation, it is impossible to break through the defensive formation from the outside unless a powerful expert at the second level of the Saint Realm or above intervenes.
As for the cultivators within the range of the defensive array, they are trapped in the array and cannot touch the outermost defensive array at all. Naturally, the so-called defects of the outer defensive array can be ignored!
Getting back to the main point, after activating the formation, Grand Tutor Wen had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but for the time being, he couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong!
In an effort to pinpoint what he felt was amiss, Grand Tutor Wen meticulously began to analyze the current situation. Ultimately, after careful analysis, Wen Zhong still couldn't glean any useful information.
However, Wen Zhong understood that what he sensed was wrong was likely some overlooked detail that could very well lead to a head-on attack on the Yin Shang army!
To guard against the unknown enemy, Wen Zhong activated the defensive formation that could cover the entire Yin Shang camp! After the formation was activated, Grand Tutor Wen felt his previous panic and unease disappear without a trace!
This further convinced Grand Tutor Wen that his intuition was absolutely correct, and that he had simply forgotten something important!
Just as Grand Tutor Wen was deep in thought, a loud bang was heard, and Grand Tutor Wen's attention was drawn to the direction of Xiqi!
