Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Isolated for Five Hundred Miles, Everyone Panics

After leaving the Void Mountain, Leng Yanran didn't even return to the Moro Kingdom. Instead, she hurried straight towards the Luo Heaven Sect.

Remembering her master's instructions—leave no survivors—she didn't reveal herself immediately. Instead, she put on a black robe and pulled a hood over her head, covering herself tightly to avoid being noticed prematurely.

Unsure of the exact range of the restrictive array her master had given her, Leng Yanran decided to play it safe and wait until she reached the foot of the mountain where the Luo Heaven Sect was located before deploying it.

If she misjudged and someone from the Luo Heaven Sect managed to escape, she wouldn't dare return to the mountain to face her master in shame!

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way, and by the time she arrived at the foot of the Luo Heaven Sect's mountain, it was already nearing dusk, with the sun beginning to set.

"Stop! Who goes there?"

"Leave immediately! The Luo Heaven Sect is not accepting visitors today!"

Just as Leng Yanran reached the foot of the mountain, two figures blocked her path.

With a quick glance, she saw they were just two disciples in the Airborne Realm.

Without hesitation, she reached out, grabbing both by their throats as if they were mere chicks, lifting them effortlessly.

"Take a deep breath. It's normal to feel a bit dizzy the first time..."

Recalling the scene from when she first met her master, Leng Yanran couldn't help but mimic her master's words, whispering softly into the disciples' ears.

To the two disciples, her words sounded like those of a demon.

After a brief struggle, just as expected, both stopped breathing.

Having casually dealt with them, Leng Yanran patted the storage pouch at her waist and retrieved two array disks.

With a small surge of spiritual energy, she activated the pre-carved formation on the disks.

Following her master's orders, the first disk she activated was the restriction formation, preventing anyone from Luo Heaven Sect from escaping!

Buzz— With a soft hum, an invisible barrier began to expand rapidly.

In just a moment, it covered five miles... ten miles... a hundred miles!

Eventually, the circular barrier stopped expanding when it reached five hundred miles in radius. Though transparent, it was incredibly sturdy!

"This... the range is way too big!" Leng Yanran was stunned. She had been so cautious, going all the way to Luo Heaven Sect's front gate before activating the formation.

If she had known the range was this large, she wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths!

With no time to dwell on it, Leng Yanran quickly infused her spiritual energy energy into the second formation disk, activating the defensive formation.

Given all the commotion, Luo Heaven Sect would surely be alarmed, so she couldn't afford to be careless!

As she activated the second disk, another circular barrier appeared, but this one only extended about ten meters around her before stopping.

Leng Yanran moved around a bit, finding that as long as she carried the disk, the formation would follow her, and ten meters was more than enough!

With that, she rose into the air, heading toward the entrance of Luo Heaven Sect, protected by the defensive formation.

Such a spectacle naturally attracted the attention of Luo Heaven Sect and all the nearby rogue cultivators.

"What's going on? What is that?"

"What happened!?"

"I feel uneasy, like there's some kind of danger looming..."

"I'm not sticking around for this. Farewell, fellow Daoists, until we meet again!"

"Whoa!"

"What the hell is this thing, why can't I get out?!"

Several rogue cultivators, their courage failing after sensing something unusual, tried to leave for the time being.

But as they headed in various directions, they discovered that no matter which way they went, there was an invisible barrier blocking their path.

Even the skies above and the ground below were blocked by the barrier, leaving no escape.

"The larger the barrier, the weaker it must be. Since this barrier is so vast, it shouldn't be too difficult to break!" someone suggested.

"Fellow cultivators, let's work together to break this thing and get out of here!"

"Agreed, let's strike together!"

The group of cultivators exchanged uneasy glances. After one person suggested joining forces, everyone readily agreed.

In an instant, dozens of cultivators attacked in unison. Some were in the Void Sky and Profound Sky Realms, while a few were even in the powerful Unity Realm.

Boom—

Their collective strike focused on one point of the barrier.

The result left them dumbfounded.

"What?"

"We didn't even make a crack?!"

"Are you kidding me? With this many people attacking at once, even a Ninth Layer Unity Realm expert would be reduced to dust!"

"But we didn't even shake this barrier!"

Panic rose among the cultivators who had tried to join the action. After several more futile attempts, they gave up and retreated to the furthest edge of the barrier near Luo Heaven Sect, deciding to wait and see what would happen next.

It was obvious that whoever had set this barrier was targeting Luo Heaven Sect. If the sect could defeat the person responsible, the barrier would naturally be lifted.

Meanwhile, within the Luo Heaven Sect, Sect Master Luo Wu and Sect Master Yang Chun had spent the entire afternoon drinking, though neither of them had become drunk.

When they noticed the unusual disturbance, they exchanged glances.

Everyone in the hall rose from their seats and made their way to the sect's main square.

"I didn't think that person would actually have the nerve to come here," Luo Wu said, squinting up at the barrier in the sky, feeling a sense of unease creeping in.

"Should I fail in the coming battle, Brother Yang Chun, I'll need your assistance."

Luo Wu's eyes narrowed as he scanned the barrier. 

The fact that the enemy had the confidence to set up a large formation to trap everyone in Luo Heaven Sect meant they must be extremely confident in their own strength.

For a moment, he wasn't sure what to make of the enemy's power.

"Of course," Yang Chun responded, his expression equally serious. He too found the enemy's boldness unsettling.

Soon, Leng Yanran's figure appeared above the Luo Heaven Sect, and the people in the square finally saw her.

"Are you the powerful Extinction Realm expert behind Leng Yanran?" Luo Wu asked, squinting at her, but all he could see was a layer of defensive formation around her, masking her aura. He couldn't gauge her true level of strength.

Leng Yanran was cloaked in a black robe, concealing her identity, which led Luo Wu to misunderstand her as a higher-level expert.

The disciples and elders of Luo Heaven Sect stared nervously at the black-robed figure. Their minds raced with questions: When had she managed to set up such a massive barrier? Could it be that she had quietly infiltrated the area over the past two weeks and prepared the formation in advance?

What meticulous planning! To think that she had been plotting for half a month without anyone noticing, right up until she activated the formation!

How terrifying!
