Chapter 1084: The Savior Arrives, The Savior Vanish

Millions of miles south of Moon God Pavilion.

At the confluence of the Three Forked River Valley, the surroundings lay in utter devastation.

The riverbeds had dried up, and the vegetation had turned to ash!

In the valley, now resembling a desert, the Moon God Pavilion Master and numerous elders stood pale and rigid. The young Qing Yin Xianyun was gasping for breath, her temples drenched in sweat.

Everyone wore a grave expression, unwillingly gazing up at the stone mountain to the east.

The Moon God Pavilion Master, Xue Fengtian, stepped forward, gritting his teeth as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Li Daoran! Shame on you for being the leader of a sect, yet resorting to such despicable tactics, setting up a poisonous trap. Aren't you afraid of tarnishing the reputation of a Heaven-tier expert when this gets out?!"

On the stone mountain to the east, a one-eyed old man with an eye patch laughed heartily.

"Hahaha..."

"Xue Fengtian, our two sects have been at war for a thousand years. As the saying goes, the victor becomes the king, and the loser, the bandit. Once I exterminate all of you, the outcome of this battle will naturally be decided by my word alone!"

"In the future, the outside world will only hear that I, with my supreme cultivation, annihilated several members of the Moon God Pavilion, and from then on, the treasured Moon God Peak will belong to our Heavenly Dao Sect!"

As he spoke, a fierce glint appeared in the old man's right eye, and his smile grew even more sinister.

"Blame yourselves for encroaching on the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect!"

"This place is the convergence of three rivers, and the valley beneath your feet lies in the Yin position. The extreme Yin land coincides with today's extreme Yin hour, allowing the activation of the Heaven's Chill Absolute Formation. It is destiny's will!"

"The thousand-year conflict will be settled today. Your time of death has come!"

The old man's eyes were filled with malice, and a triumphant, uncontrollable smile spread across his face.

Behind him, several disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect congratulated him, their flattery and arrogance reaching new heights.

"Sect Master, you are wise!"

"Sect Master, your divine strategy and use of the terrain and timing to set up the formation are unparalleled in the entire Lan Star!"

"Not just that! Sect Master's wisdom is unprecedented and will be remembered for eternity!"

"Nonsense! The Sect Master triumphed with his supreme cultivation. What formation are you talking about?"

"Oh~ Right, right! The Sect Master's cultivation is peerless, and his name will be remembered for eternity!"

The flattery made Li Daoran's smile widen even more.

Standing atop the stone mountain, his weathered face was filled with the satisfaction of having everything under control.

"Xue Fengtian, I never thought that someone as cautious as you would fall into such a predicament. The Heaven's Chill Absolute Formation is about to activate, and soon the valley will become a land of extreme Yin. You will all turn into ice sculptures!"

"Within this formation that borrows the power of heaven and earth, even with your Heaven-tier cultivation, your Dao power will be drained, leaving you with no chance of escape!"

"Considering our thousand-year conflict, two days from now, when you have turned into ice sculptures, I will return to grind your bones to dust!"

"Hahaha..."

His hoarse laughter faded as several figures vanished into the void.

Qing Yin Xianyun and the elders were filled with resentment, but they suddenly felt the valley turn as cold as ice!

The chill was so intense that even the gravel beneath their feet began to freeze.

The scattered river sand suddenly started to solidify into ice, spreading rapidly toward them.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their legs began to stiffen!

After cultivating for hundreds or even thousands of years, this was the first time they had experienced such a bone-chilling cold. They immediately realized the gravity of the situation and quickly activated their Dao power to resist it!

But as soon as they began to circulate their Dao power, the precious Dao power they had accumulated over years of cultivation was being sucked away by the surrounding cold, as if by a bottomless pit, never ceasing!

Watching their Dao power continuously drain away, the warmth they barely maintained was rapidly depleting.

The surroundings were covered in ice, and the sandy ground beneath their feet was only a few inches thick!

Many of the elders looked panicked, and Qing Yin Xianyun trembled as she asked,

"Master!"

"What should we do? If this continues, our Dao power will eventually be completely drained, and we will end up like the ice at our feet..."

Seeing her beloved disciple trembling and exhaling warm breath, the Moon God Pavilion Master also wore a grave expression.

"First, steady your mind. Do not stop circulating your Dao power."

After carefully surveying the surroundings, he spoke solemnly.

"This formation borrows the power of the terrain and the timing of heaven, surpassing Li Daoran's usual capabilities. Even a second-tier Heaven-tier expert would find it difficult to escape, unless they used supreme cultivation to forcefully break the surrounding terrain!"

"For now, our only option is to maintain the circulation of our Dao power to resist the extreme cold and quickly come up with another way to break the formation!"

"Elders, please work together to find the formation's core. Any useful strategy, speak up!"

All the elders nodded, their expressions extremely serious.

The Moon God Pavilion was a renowned force on Lan Star, and its elders were mostly highly skilled. Naturally, there were formation masters among them. Even in this crisis, they could remain calm and search for a solution.

Qing Yin Xianyun, a prodigy of her generation, had an especially strong mindset. She also continuously spread her spiritual sense to search for the formation's core.

But after two full days, the dozen or so people had found nothing!

The ten elders' feet were already encased in ice, and the ice was creeping up to their shoes, as if foretelling that their lives were nearing their end!

Qing Yin Xianyun, with the lowest cultivation among them, was surrounded and protected by the elders, but frost still formed on her eyebrows. Her lips turned blue, and she trembled as she exhaled cold breath.

"What... what should we do?"

"Elders, have you found the formation's core?"

The elders remained silent, only able to look with difficulty toward the front.

The Pavilion Master stood tall, his shoulders covered in white frost.

He spoke with difficulty, his voice tinged with resignation.

"It is fate..."

"This formation has no flaws. Only immense cultivation power can break it from within. Even if we tried to break it from the outside, we would need to shatter the surrounding mountains to disrupt the power of heaven and earth, which would also require immense strength."

"We are in the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Where would we find help?"

"Even if there were help, where would we find someone with such strength?"

It's over...

The low voice carried a sense of helplessness. Qing Yin Xianyun and the elders all turned pale.

The sudden silence gave rise to a suffocating sense of despair!

At that moment, two streaks of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky!

Everyone's eyes widened in shock!

"The Heavenly Dao Sect's dogs are here!"

But when the streaks of light stopped above them in the sky, everyone was momentarily stunned, then erupted with surprise and immense joy!

"Elder Xiong...?"

"Heavens, it's the missing Elder Xiong and his son!"

"So they're safe, that's wonderful!"

"Yes, and Elder Xiong can help us find reinforcements to break the formation."

"Truly, heaven has eyes, and it blesses our Moon God Pavilion!"

"Elder Xiong, hurry and find help to break the formation!!!"

The elders shouted with all their might, and Qing Yin Xianyun also looked delighted.

Reunited after a long separation, the father and son had never seemed so dear to them. Even the usually unreliable Xiong Zhong, standing in the sky, now appeared dignified, like an unknown expert.

The Xiong father and son also noticed their presence and immediately flew over.

Everyone's joy grew even more intense.

Only the Moon God Pavilion Master, Xue Fengtian, noticed something and suddenly changed his expression!

"Not good!"

"They don't know about the deadly formation here. They're going to rush in!"

Coming to his senses, Xue Fengtian shouted a warning!

"There's a deadly formation here. Do not enter recklessly!"

The others were also struck as if by lightning, hurriedly waving their hands and shouting,

"Stop! Stop!"

"Don't come any closer!"

The Xiong father and son, having greatly improved their cultivation, couldn't stop in time.

From a thousand feet in the air, they covered the distance in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the Xiong father and son landed in front of them, their faces filled with emotion as they bowed respectfully.

"Pavilion Master, Holy Maiden, elders, it's been a long time!"

"Pavilion Master, we are late!"

But as they bowed in greeting, they saw the group standing rigidly like stone statues.

The Pavilion Master's face was extremely grim.

The Holy Maiden's eyes were filled with despair.

The once dignified and composed Grand Elder was so angry that his beard bristled, and he even cursed out loud!

"Long time no see, my foot!"

"You two fools, why couldn't you listen?! Damn it, this is the end of our Moon God Pavilion!"

The Xiong father and son were dumbfounded.

They had come to help, so why were they being treated like this?

The end of the Moon God Pavilion? What was going on?

The father and son exchanged confused glances, suddenly feeling a cold breeze at their backs. Something felt off, and they noticed the group shivering from the cold!

Immediately, Xiong Fen's expression turned serious.

"Pavilion Master, what's going on here? Why is it so strange?!"
