The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 990 Breaking the Formation
"Pretty much, that's roughly how it's said in my sect."

"Same!"

Xiao Rulong and Ji You both smiled and expressed their sect's stance.

Lin Chen suddenly realized why they had stood up to help him without hesitation today.

On one hand, it was to repay the favor of saving Zhu Yao and the others, and on the other hand, it was also to leave a connection for the future.

Although I am not yet recognized by the Human Emperor's Seal, what if I do eventually succeed?
There's no loss, is there?
Zhu Yao and the others spoke frankly, and Lin Chen didn't find anything wrong with it, after all, there is no love without a reason.

"Do you think it's possible to break the seal in the end?"

"Who knows?"

As Lin Chen looked at the barrier around the altar, a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

If I use the blood mist that I've collected in the Water-Fire Mirror to deal with that barrier, will it be effective?

Lin Chen thought back carefully and realized that during the time when all the blood mist spread, there was no blood mist around the altar. It seemed that the blood mist avoided the altar.

Lin Chen did not go to test it.

With so many big shots involved, even if his method really works, who will get the arm in the end?

It definitely couldn't be mine; after all, I'm just a nobody with no influence!

After waiting for about two hours, the three Transcending Tribulation stage experts returned. They had many new wounds on their bodies, clearly indicating that they had been through a fierce battle.

They were holding the white-haired old man hostage, but the other two, Yilong, were nowhere to be seen.

"What about the other three?"

"They escaped! They tried to ambush us, but luckily they were seriously injured and their fighting strength was greatly reduced. We took the opportunity to capture one of them, and the other three, seeing that things were not going well, turned around and ran out of the cave."

"Did you find out how to break the seal?"

"I asked, and he said there was nothing he could do."

The white-haired old man laughed sternly, "This immortal's arm is no ordinary object. The immortal sent us to guard this place, so how could he not worry that we would steal it? If we have a way to open it, we might take it ourselves. Why would we wait for you to come?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed.

That makes perfect sense! So what can we do?
A senior elder from Xixuan Mountain sighed, "If there's no other way, then we'll have to resort to the old methods and slowly wear it down..."

Tang Fenkong, the cave master of Kunlun Mountain, nodded: "This is the only way we can try. We've come all this way, we can't just turn around and leave, especially since there are monsters everywhere outside, we can't leave even if we wanted to."

"Let's get started!"

"Let's allocate manpower and take turns working in shifts. There absolutely can't be any breaks. Let's see if we can open it!"

Lin Chen was completely confused and turned his head to ask, "What kind of folk remedy are they talking about?"

Long Yan'er explained, "We set up a formation to break the barrier, and then continuously consume the barrier's energy until the barrier's energy can't keep up, and it is finally completely destroyed."

"A formation to break the formation?"

Lin Chen asked, "A formation specifically designed to break barriers?"

"Yes, you can think of it simply as a siege. The barrier is like a solid city wall that cannot be breached. So, you build a battering ram outside the city and repeatedly and continuously strike a certain spot on the city wall."

"As long as the damage caused by the impact exceeds the amount of repairs needed within the city in the same amount of time, then as long as we hold out, no matter how long it takes, this city wall will definitely be breached!"

"The formation to break the formation is the battering ram used to break the formation. After it is set up, everyone continuously injects spiritual energy into the formation and continuously attacks the barrier."

"With so many Void Realm Perfection experts, if they were to unleash their full power, the formation-breaking force would be enormous. Of course, this doesn't guarantee that they could break through the barrier, but right now, there's no other way; this is the only option."

The cultivators were well-prepared, and soon the four array plates were set up. In front of each array plate sat three Void Realm experts, who poured spiritual energy into the array plates.

The twelve Void Realm experts simultaneously began to inject spiritual energy, and the formation began to operate. A long spear of spiritual energy, like a laser beam, extended from each of the four array plates, then converged at a point, launching a strong and continuous attack on the barrier.

Lin Chen understood. This was a gathering of twelve Void Realm experts launching a continuous attack on the same point. The key now lay in whether the spiritual energy support or source of spiritual energy for this formation was sufficient.

The barrier doesn't even shake.

This is clearly a long process.

Lin Chen sat on the ground, looking at the almost perfect arm, but his mind was on another question.

Of the four celestial servants, one was captured, while the other three escaped. What will they do?
As a celestial servant guarding this place for my master, surely I should have a way to contact him?
If the fairy servant is unable to defeat the enemy, will he inform his master and call for reinforcements?

Meng Lan once said that the passage between the Desolate Realm and the Immortal Realm was severed, but the gate to the Immortal Realm was not closed, and she could be guided back to the Immortal Realm. Does that mean that immortals can also descend to the Desolate Realm?
What would happen if Yan Chusheng and the others summoned their master?
Who can stop a powerful, true immortal?
