“Pa*s on my order to activate the Yanjing Grand Formation!”
Inside the Xu family manor, Xu Lei, who had long since received the news, finally activated the very last amulet that Ye Fan had given her, the last amulet of protection.
As Xu Lei gave the order.
That night, pillars of light shot up from around the Xu Family Manor.
Countless pillars of light connected with each other, eventually constructing a wall of energy light that covered the entire Xu Family Manor.
“Clan Master, can… Will it work?”
“This thing, can it really stop the Chu Clan’s attack?”
Within the Xu Family Manor, people were on edge.
Many of the clan members doubted the reliability of this so-called Yanjing Grand Formation, and did not feel that with these few shadows of light, they would be able to stop the siege of the number one power in the world.
But Xu Lei’s eyes were full of determination, and there was an inexplicable confidence in her beautiful eyes.
“Will do.”
“Brother Little Fan’s formation protecting me will definitely be able to block all dangers in the entire world!”
Xu Lei said in a deep voice, and was convinced.
Outside the Xu family manor.
A one-armed old man was leading a dozen of Chu Clan powerhouses to surround the Xu Family.
Yes, for a secular power like the Xu Family, a dozen or so Chu Clan strongmen would be enough to completely flatten it and leave it defenceless.
After all, the Xu Clan did not even have a single clan master.
And the one-armed old man, back in his heyday, was a world-beating powerhouse with half a foot in the seal.
However, when Ye Fan attacked the Chu Clan, he was severely injured when Ye Fan chopped off his arm, and his cultivation stagnated.
For the rest of his life, he had no chance of ever stepping into the Seal realm again!
But even so, the one-armed old man’s current strength was enough to walk around Yanjing.
It could be said that a small Xu family could be crushed by him alone.
However, just as this one-armed old man was about to rush into the Xu Family’s manor, suddenly, a pillar of light shot up into the sky.
That huge curtain of light covered the entire Xu Family Manor in an instant.
“Elder Dory, you… Look!!!”
“This… What the hell is this?”
Outside the manor, the Chu Clan strongman was, however, speechless with shock.
The broken-armed old man named Dolly’s brow furrowed in response.
“It’s just a blindfold.”
“Don’t bother, everyone continue to rush in.”
After taking a few glances, Dolly made an instant judgement.
Let everyone not worry, just charge straight in.
However, as Dolly’s command was given, several Chu Sect powerhouses rushed in several times, but were all blocked back by that light curtain.
Some were even shaken by the wall of light and spat out blood.
“Elder Dory, it won’t work!”
“This light curtain is too bizarre.”
“We can’t rush in!”
The strong men of the Chu Sect were instantly terrified, the unknown was always terrifying.
Just like this curtain of light covering the real Xu Family Manor in front of them, it was undoubtedly unseen and unheard of to them.
“What are you panicking about?”
“All get out of the way!”
“Let me do it.”
“How dare you show off your skills in front of this Elder?”
“I don’t believe it, this Elder was half-step sealed back then, so why can’t he still break a mundane family’s little formation?”
Doli did not believe in evil.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, before a long blade, appeared in his hand.
“Break it for me!”
Doli roared, and endless energy exploded powerfully above his palm.
A long, horizontal blade slashed at the protective formation in front of him!
“Can it hold?”
The Xu clan members hiding in the manor, seeing this scene, undoubtedly had cold sweat on their nervous palms.
Even Xu Lei was unconsciously holding her breath.
Boom!
Finally, in the next second, a boom sounded.
The entire formation, like a lake smashed into a boulder, fluctuated violently.
But this fluctuation only lasted for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the crowd saw the old man with the broken arm, just like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood and being directly shaken away for a hundred metres.
The Xu family had been shocked to their core.
They didn’t expect that this formation left behind by Ye Fan was really this strong?
The heart that Xu Lei was hanging on to, also loosened.
At the corner of her mouth, a smile of relief appeared.
She knew that the things his Little Brother Fan had left her during his lifetime were the most powerful.
“Elder Dory, are you alright!”
The people of the Chu Sect all went over to help the one-armed old man.
Dory pooh-poohed, spitting out the blood in his mouth and cursed.
“D*mn it!”
“This should be something like a defensive formation.”
“It must have been left behind by that Chu Tianfan before he was born!”
“As expected of a supreme powerhouse who is number one on the Heavenly Rankings, the residual power left behind after his death is so difficult to deal with?”
Doli cursed angrily.
With this formation in place, Dory quickly realised that they were no longer able to storm into this Xu Family Manor anytime soon.
“Since we can’t kill them, let’s consume them to death!”
“Pa*s on my orders, cut off water and electricity to them, seal . Lock all the major exits and forbid anyone from entering or leaving the Xu family.”
“Kill every single one that comes out!”
“I’d like to see how long they can hide inside!”
Dolly changed his tactics and waited for the others, ready to drag the Xu Clan to death.
The Xu Clan clansmen who realised this had desperate faces on their faces.
“Family head, what should we do?”
“They are trying to consume us to death!”
“It happened suddenly, and we didn’t prepare much water and food at all.”
“Even if we don’t get killed, we will still starve to death sooner or later!”
The people of the Xu family panicked.
“Don’t worry about it, I’ve prepared all the supplies in advance.”
“Even if the Chu Sect seals . Lock us up, with the supplies I have stored, it will be enough to last through this winter.”
Xu Lei’s words made the panicked hearts of the Xu family much calmer.
However, there was still someone who asked Xu Lei a crucial question.
“Family Head, what about after the winter?”
“And what should we do?”
After this question was asked, Xu Lei was also silent.
It was true.
Even if we could survive this winter.
But what about afterwards?
No matter how much they struggled, they were only fighting against a trapped beast.
Apart from surviving for a while, it would still not change the final outcome.
There would be no one to save them.
The Martial Hall has already been destroyed.
The Jiangdong side, I think, is in a difficult position to protect itself.
Xu Lei and the others, after all, were prisoners in a cage, having been cut off from any hope long ago.
“I’m sorry everyone.”
“I can only guarantee that you will all survive this winter.”
“As for the future, we’ll have to leave it to fate.”
Xu Lei spoke in a low voice.
Her mood, too, was a million times heavier and lowered.
In fact, she had predicted this ending.
Why did she not go back to Jiangdong with Ye Yuyan in the first place.
Because she was clear that going back would not go, and the result would remain the same.
Even if she went back to Jiangdong, so what?
Even if the Yunzhou Great Formation was stronger, so what?
It could hold off the Chu Sect for a day, two days.
But what about a year, two years?
One day, the Great Formation will be breached.
At that time, it will still be a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of the Chu Sect.
This is a dead end!
It was a deadlock that would not be solved.
It could be said that the day Ye Fan fell, he was already doomed to this deadly situation.
For there was no one else who could resist the Chu Clan, who could save them from death and life.
There was silence, a long silence.
Everyone in the room, unconsciously lowered their heads.
How would a man feel if he knew he was going to die after this winter?
Is it powerlessness, is it despair, and is it crying?
“No, Miss Xu, there is still hope for us!”
Suddenly, Xue Renyang shouted.
Xu Lei was stunned, not knowing what Xue Ren Yang meant by this.
And Xue Ren Yang didn’t say anything, just trembled and handed the phone to Xu Lei.
“Miss Xu, it’s… It’s Dragon… Dragon Master.”
“The post from the Dragon Lord.”
“Dragon… Dragon Lord he’s not dead.”
“Dragon Lord he’s coming back.”
“He has issued the Four Seas Convening Order again.”
“Dragon… The Dragon Lord will return with his glory.”
“We don’t have to wait for this winter this to end, maybe we will be saved.”
Xue Renyang was excited with old tears.
Xu Lei looked carefully at that post, carefully looking at every word, this always strong woman, was also in tears in a moment.
