Thirty-nine Kings joined hands, their presence was grand and their aura shocked the heavens; even the clouds in the sky were scattered by the tremor.
Looking at this scene, everyone from Star Pavilion’s complexion changed dramatically.
"Protect Star Pavilion!"
The First Guardian, Lei Lie, let out a thunderous roar, immediately urging his Spiritual Power.
The other five Guardians did the same.
Ling Chen, Shen Xing, and Yang Shen also dared not be careless, ready for battle with solemnity.
Even the Elders, Stewards and disciples standing behind were also unleashing their cultivation.
Although they knew that even if they gave their all, they were probably no match for a single one-star King.
But, to protect the Star Pavilion, they must make a stand.
Even if it means death, it’s more dignified to die standing than kneeling!
However, Liu Xiao stepped forward, shielding everyone behind him, loudly declared: "I’ve said before, I will keep you all safe, this Pavilion Master will not go back on my word."
People from Star Pavilion looked towards Liu Xiao, disbelief in their eyes.
They had seen Liu Xiao’s strength.
Indeed, he was on par with Ye Tianjun, the Eastern Domain Master.
But this time, Liu Xiao’s opponents were not just Ye Tianjun alone.
There were more than thirty Kings on the opposite side!
Unless Liu Xiao had advanced to the Sixth Layer of the world!
Seeing this, Ye Tianjun let out a cold snort, saying: "What, Liu Xiao, do you really think you can contend with us alone?"
The Kings behind him also sneered in response.
Ling Chen also looked towards Liu Xiao, wondering what he was plotting.
Liu Xiao grinned and said: "Correct! Just by myself!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianjun and others stopped in their tracks.
Having fought against Liu Xiao, they were very clear about his strength.
He was not much different from them.
Unless Liu Xiao destroyed his special constitution, only then could he elevate his strength to another level.
Such strength, they dare not face head-on.
However, once a special constitution is self-destructed, after time has passed, death is certain!
He was indeed afraid that Liu Xiao would take them with him in mutual destruction.
Therefore, Ye Tianjun dared not press forward directly.
"You few, go deal with the others!"
Ye Tianjun instructed.
As his voice fell, several one-star Kings flew towards the King Realm Cultivators of Star Pavilion.
He then communicated to the other eight Sect Masters, saying: "Let’s make our move together!"
They didn’t dare get too close.
In case Liu Xiao really self-destructed his special constitution, they could avoid the danger.
Chen Yuxuan and the other eight immediately responded.
"Yin Moon Mysterious Strike!"
Ye Tianjun and the nine Sect Masters made their move simultaneously.
Their attacks were almost at the peak of their strength.
Not only did they unleash the strongest Emperor Spirit Technique, but they also deployed the Holy Body Secret Technique.
One after another, terrifying attacks blasted towards Liu Xiao.
In the wake of the nine attacks, space was cleaved apart.
"Be careful, Pavilion Master!"
Lei Lie and the other Guardians shouted immediately.
However, Liu Xiao’s expression did not change at all; instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He suddenly extended his right hand.
A Jade Scroll appeared in his palm.
Next, Spiritual Power poured into the Jade Scroll.
The Jade Scroll immediately burst into a brilliant radiance, and countless beams of light enveloped the land below toward Qingluan Peak like a downpour of light rain.
The speed of the light was too fast.
It reached the utmost extremity.
Ye Tianjun and the nine’s attacks had only flown out a few dozen zhang, yet the beams of light had already penetrated Qingluan Peak.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
A series of earth-shattering explosions erupted, followed by countless dazzling beams of light surging towards the sky from Qingluan Peak.
Ye Tianjun and the others were astounded.
Such a feat was beyond anything they could achieve.
Even a seven or eight-star King might not be capable of this!
The members of the Star Pavilion were also dumbfounded.
They had never imagined that their Pavilion Master possessed such a technique.
Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed.
He had studied Spirit Arrays before, and thus he had some understanding of them.
This appeared to be a vastly expanded type of Spirit Array.
"Immortal Spirit Array!"
Ling Chen suddenly realized.
Spirit Arrays were differentiated into lower, middle, and upper grades.
Above the upper grade were the Immortal Spirit Arrays.
And with Liu Xiao’s confidence,
It was very likely that this Immortal Spirit Array was of the middle grade.
Because only a middle-grade Immortal Spirit Array could withstand attacks from cultivators at the King level!
As countless beams of light shot out in all directions, they each aimed towards a single point.
All of the beams of light converged at a point in the sky, right above the center of the Star Pavilion.
When all the beams gathered together, a golden, ripple-like membrane spread out in an instant, extending downwards from that point and enveloping the entire Qingluan Peak within it.
And Ling Chen and his group were inside it too.
The instant the Immortal Spirit Array formed, Liu Xiao’s face showed a trace of disdain as he looked towards Ye Tianjun and others, saying, "What do you think you are? You also want to break the Sect Protection Array of my Star Pavilion?"
At that moment, the attacks from Ye Tianjun and his nine men arrived.
Nine attacks bombarded the golden membrane.
However, the golden membrane rippled like water, and with ripples spreading out, it resolved all nine attacks completely!
Without even making a sound.
The Kings gasped in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.
Such powerful attacks fell upon this Sect Protection Array, and there was no reaction at all?
Their nine sects had their own Sect Protection Arrays.
But none was as heaven-defying as the Star Pavilion’s, which could dissolve attacks into nothingness.
Without even a sound?
The Star Pavilion’s cultivators were also stunned.
However, they felt more surprise than shock!
No matter what, their Star Pavilion had temporarily gained a respite.
"Everyone attack together!"
Ye Tianjun was the first to recover, issuing the command coldly.
Although the Sect Protection Array had formidable power, it likely consumed a great deal of spiritual power.
He did not believe that the array could withstand the simultaneous attacks from thirty-nine Kings.
Upon hearing this, the other Kings immediately reacted.
Then, they began furiously attacking the Sect Protection Array.
Looking at the nearly crazed Kings outside, the expressions of joy on the faces of the Star Pavilion’s cultivators slowly faded, replaced by deep concern.
The day their Sect Protection Array fell would be the day of their demise!
Lei Lie said with a worried expression.
Liu Xiao stopped Lei Lie, saying, "I know what you all mean. But what I can tell you is that I have prepared plenty of Spirit Crystals in advance, so this Sect Protection Array should hold out for some time."
"Now, what you all need to do is to do your utmost to enhance your strength."
"Alright, everyone go back."
"Remember, we can only be trapped here now. To get out, we must all work hard together."
Cultivators of the King Realm all responded in chorus.
One by one, they bowed to Liu Xiao.
Especially those cultivators at the ninth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm.
They knew that only by ascending to the King level could they possibly contend with the enemies outside!
One by one, they glanced at the Kings outside the Sect Protection Array, their eyes growing ever more resolute before they transformed into beams of light and departed.
The crowd returned to their abodes and immediately entered seclusion.
The Pavilion Master had bought them some time, and only by enhancing their strength could they repay their Pavilion Master.
