A bunch of the Purple Clouds Sect cultivators lifted the banners using some secret manual. As the 12 banners swayed, they initiated a formation. This formation prevented the slit from closing.
But with the pressure exerted by the dragons, the formation was threatened and could be crushed any moment.
This formation’s purpose was to resist an enemy. However, the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Purple Clouds Sect were entirely helpless against the dragons under the circumstances that they were in. They used the formation to fight for a slim chance of survival.
This chance of survival was also fought for the others.
For those who initiated the formation, they were opening the path for others to escape and also shutting their own path of escape. For them to survive this ordeal, it was almost impossible.
