Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Seizing the Command

Mu Qianqiu frowned slightly upon hearing Ding Xingzheng’s words. According to the rules, Ding Xingzheng was not on the frontline battle list of the Endless Sky, and if Mu Qianqiu followed the rules, indeed she should not open the array for him.

However, Ding Xingzheng was one of the powerful ancestors of the Formation Sect, second only to Qin Batian. If Mu Qianqiu refused to give him face, it could bring trouble to herself, and even affect Lin Chen.

After hesitating, Mu Qianqiu decided to still open a corner of the array and let Ding Xing enter the defensive formation.

"Hand over the flags of the formation eye here."

As soon as Ding Xing entered the defensive formation, he said to Mu Qianqiu.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianqiu’s expression changed slightly, feeling that Ding Xingzheng’s actions were unusual; he suddenly appeared at the frontline and now he demanded the control of the formation eye, which made her believe that Ding Xingzheng definitely had some scheming plans.

"Elder Ding, Lin Chen entrusted this array to me, and I regretfully cannot hand over the control of the formation eye."

Mu Qianqiu responded firmly; she could not hand over the control of the formation to anyone, especially as it was a task specifically entrusted to her by Lin Chen. Even if Qin Batian himself came, she could not possibly hand over the control, unless Lin Chen personally ordered it.

"Lin Chen, always Lin Chen. Within the Formation Sect, is it really Lin Chen who calls the shots, or us ancestors?"

Ding Xingzheng asked Mu Qianqiu sternly, his face ugly, not expecting Mu Qianqiu to dare refuse him.

"Elder, this is not right. This formation was originally created by Lin Chen. He handed the control to me; I can only return it to him. This is Lin Chen’s personal item, and it has nothing to do with the Formation Sect."

"Moreover, even if this is a property of the Formation Sect, I am now an Elder of Law Enforcement within the sect. If Elder intends to take the control of the formation from me, please present the sect’s decision token.

Ding Xingzheng was stunned when he heard this, as he then remembered that Mu Qianqiu had already reached the Peak of the Nirvana Realm and was just one step away from the Half-step to Creation Realm.

Although Mu Qianqiu had just broken through recently, and even with the resources and treasures provided by Lin Chen, it would still take decades to reach the Half-step to Creation Realm.

Compared to the past Ding Xingzheng, Mu Qianqiu’s cultivation speed was already astonishing.

Without Lin Chen’s help, Mu Qianqiu might not have reached even the Seventh or Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm.

Thinking this, Ding Xingzheng felt envious of Mu Qianqiu, Qin Batian, and others, and his hatred for Lin Chen deepened. If Lin Chen would submit to the Ouyang Family, they wouldn’t need to go through such great lengths to deal with him.

"If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being rude."

Ding Xingzheng said in a deep voice, then stretched out his hand, releasing power and grabbing towards Mu Qianqiu.

Mu Qianqiu was terribly shocked, not expecting Ding Xingzheng, being an ancestor, to strike at her, a junior.

This move further confirmed Mu Qianqiu’s worries; Ding Xingzheng indeed had ill intentions.

Facing the attack from Ding Xingzheng, Mu Qianqiu had no choice but to rally her own power to resist.

Although her strength had already broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, there was still a notable gap compared with Ding Xingzheng.

Bang—

Ding Xingzheng’s palm strike sent Mu Qianqiu flying, with her spewing out fresh blood. At the same time, the control token of the Endless Sky frontline defensive formation was also snatched by Ding Xingzheng.

Despite being severely injured by Ding Xingzheng’s heavy strike, Mu Qianqiu was fortunate that she had a Defensive Magical Treasure given by Lin Chen, or else she might have lost her life.

The surrounding Formation Sect disciples all turned pale, not expecting Ding Xingzheng, as an Elder, to land such a heavy hand on a junior.

Ding Xingzheng’s intention in seizing the control of the defensive formation raised doubts, especially since the conflict between the Ouyang Family, Lin Chen, and the Qin Family was well-known to all. However, the internal conflict within the sect should not affect the frontline, especially in this battle that involved the survival of the Formation Sect and the status of the Divine Flame Alliance in the Eastern Domain.

"Form up!"

Before Mu Qianqiu could even give the order, the surrounding Formation Sect army quickly arrayed, pointing their sharp swords and long spears at Ding Xingzheng.

They had been fighting for many years at the Endless Sky frontline under Mu Qianqiu’s leadership; her status in their hearts far exceeded that of Qin Batian, Ding Xingzheng, and other ancestors, almost like family.

Facing this army of 300,000, Ding Xingzheng also felt wary, knowing that with his cultivation alone, he couldn’t withstand the entire army.

Ding Xingzheng, holding the formation control token, revealed a satisfied smile and began to infuse power into the token.

Once he refined this token, he could control the Endless Sky frontline array at will, then use this power to deal with Lin Chen, which made him feel very elated.

However, when he infused his Soul Power into the token, his expression suddenly changed, showing disbelief.

There was an incredibly profound power within the token, firmly guarding it, and with his Half-step to Creation Realm Soul Power, he could not even probe inside, let alone refine it for his own use.

"Damn it, what kind of power did this guy infuse inside."

"Since I cannot take it, then I will destroy it."
