Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: Breaking the Formation? The Trap Was Set Long Ago

Hum—

With the power of Ding Xingzheng surging in his palm, he immediately infused this energy into the Token he held.

However, the anticipated scenario did not occur; the Jade Token remained unscathed, which shocked Ding Xingzheng.

"A mere Token, and I, at the Half-step to Creation Realm in Cultivation, can’t subdue you?"

Ding Xingzheng muttered to himself, then once again gathered all his strength and squeezed forcefully.

Crack—

In a series of sounds, the Token finally couldn’t withstand Ding Xingzheng’s full-strength blow and cracked all over, releasing dazzling light. The appearance of cracks made the light even more intense, and in just a few breaths, the Jade Token turned into nothingness before the eyes of Ding Xingzheng.

Ding Xingzheng smiled with satisfaction; though he could not Refine the Token and use its power to oppose Lin Chen, he could destroy it.

In doing so, the Martial Artists of the Divine Flame Alliance within the Endless Sky Mountain Range would suffer a fatal blow when facing the Red Soul Hall.

As the Token shattered, the surrounding defensive light screen also dissipated. Ding Xingzheng then sent out this message, though it was unknown to whom.

Mu Qianqiu, witnessing Ding Xingzheng’s actions, furrowed her brows deeply, her doubts intensifying.

"Elder Ding, what do you mean by this? Why would you do such a thing?"

Mu Qianqiu inquired, as Ding Xingzheng’s actions were extremely detrimental to their Formation Sect and the Divine Flame Alliance.

"Why? Haha, the Divine Flame Alliance’s influence is waning, the future belongs to Red Soul Hall. Why should we resist in vain?"

"Such resistance is futile and will only lead to needless sacrifice. I advise you to surrender early; perhaps you can still save your lives."

Upon hearing what Ding Xingzheng said, the people around had a sudden realization. They never thought that one of their own elders would betray them.

Even an elder of the Formation Sect had turned traitor; this fact was like a bolt from the blue, deeply shocking them.

...

Tens of miles away, Xue Yuanba and the Demon Cultivators of Red Soul Hall were lying in wait for the signal to attack. They were already fully prepared for the upcoming battle, just waiting for the command.

Suddenly, Xue Yuanba seemed to receive a message. He hastily checked it, his face breaking into joy.

"Haha, good news! Ding Xingzheng has successfully destroyed the frontline defenses of the Endless Sky Mountain Range. Our time to attack has come!"

At Xue Yuanba’s command, the Demon Cultivators of Red Soul Hall excitedly prepared to launch their attack.

The frontline defense of the Endless Sky Mountain Range had been a major obstacle for them, but now that it was gone, they could advance upon the Divine Flame Alliance unimpeded.

In the past, the Defensive Array of the Endless Sky Mountain Range had caused the Demon Cultivators of Red Soul Hall to suffer losses at the hands of the Martial Artists of Divine Flame Alliance, losing a great number of their forces.

But now, with the frontline Formation destroyed, they could advance upon the Divine Flame Alliance without any hindrance.

Just as Xue Yuanba and the other Demon Cultivators were preparing to launch their assault, Yan Yue and other powers’ experts also sensed their presence. The various powers immediately led their troops toward the Endless Sky Mountain Range.

However, en route, they felt a powerful aura; everyone immediately looked towards the direction of the aura.

They discovered that the aura came from a massive beast, over fifty zhang tall, drenched in fresh blood as if it had just crawled out of a Blood Pool, and its strength had even reached the Half-step to Creation Realm.

Facing this gigantic Monster, Yan Yue and the others wore grave expressions. They knew that the battle with this Magical Beast was inevitable.

Yan Yue drew his Sharp Sword and soared in front of the monstrous beast, issuing the command to attack.

He led the powerhouses and army of the Divine Flame Alliance straight towards the giant beast and the Magical Beast army of Red Soul Hall.

At the same time, Ding Xingzheng watched Mu Qianqiu and the others coldly, preparing to leave this place.

His real purpose had been achieved; there was no need for him to linger.

Although he was not capable of opposing the grand army of the Endless Sky Mountain Range by himself, these people could not detain him either.

However, just as he was about to leave, a ring of light suddenly rose up under his feet, instantly restraining him.

Ding Xingzheng’s complexion changed drastically, he hurriedly employed his Spells to resist the light, but it was all in vain. The beam of light held him firmly, lifting him into the air.

"Elder Ding, don’t waste your efforts. With your Half-step Nirvana Realm Cultivation, you will not be able to escape from my Soul Binding Array," a calm voice said as Ding Xingzheng struggled.

As Ding Xingzheng looked up, he saw a dark figure slowly flying toward him from the sky.

"Lin Chen!? How can it be you? Did you set up the Formation around here beforehand?"

Ding Xingzheng looked at Lin Chen, speculating in his heart.

At that moment, Lin Chen was accompanied by Qin Batian. Their sudden appearance — were they lying in wait for him here all along?

"Weren’t you going to meet up with Yan Yue and the others? How are you here?"

Ding Xingzheng asked in confusion, already guessing that he might have been outmaneuvered by Lin Chen.

"Of course, I was waiting for you."

Lin Chen replied coldly; in fact, he had long suspected Ding Xingzheng of colluding with Red Soul Hall, and he had been having the Dark Division track the information.

After confirming Ding Xingzheng’s connection with Xue Yuanba, Lin Chen set this trap, leading Ding Xingzheng to fall into it on his own accord.
