Chapter 165: Chapter 163: Haoyang Heaven-Sealing Array

Tuoba Hongyu stood atop a tall mountain, surrounded by Tuoba Dajiang and a host of Barbarian Race chosen warriors!

Tuoba Dajiang and the others looked at the barrier in the sky, equally shaken to their cores!

“Your Highness, what on earth is all this?”

“Is that an array?”

Tuoba Hongyu glanced back coldly at Surihan and said, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!”

“This barrier covers the entire Northern Territory. Aside from the side of the Barbaric Mountain Range, there is no other entrance!”

“And to break it, unless a True Sovereign acts!”

Tuoba Dajiang’s eyes flashed with excitement. “Your Highness, does this mean…”

“The army has already set forth!”

“We will seize the Northern Territory within a month!”

As her icy words fell, the mountaintop was suffused with a harsh, murderous air!

The group of Barbarian chosen warriors were all flushed with excitement, itching for action!

All of this was far too thrilling!

“The chosen and strong individuals from the great powers—if you can capture them alive, do so; they will be of great use later!”

“Also, Xu Yang is not to be killed by anyone!”

“Find him and bring him to me!”

Tuoba Hongyu turned, staring at everyone, enunciating each word: “If he so much as loses a single hair, whoever touched him will be buried with him!”

Everyone’s expressions changed!

He Lan Xing, Guo Wenzhan, and Surihan clenched their fists tightly, unable to accept this!

But under Tuoba Hongyu’s icy gaze, they all realized that this time she was deadly serious, and by no means joking!

Tuoba Dajiang suddenly laughed, “Rest assured, Your Highness. Xu Yang, with such potential in the Alchemy Dao, would be a tremendous waste to kill!”

“He must be made to serve our Barbarian Race!”

Tuoba Hongyu nodded in satisfaction.

…

In a certain forest outside Linye City.

Xu Yang looked up at the golden barrier in the sky, his heart unsettled!

After leaving the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasury, that scene had so shocked him he could not even begin to describe it.

The dog on his shoulder looked up at the heavens with fear in its eyes and pressed itself even closer to Xu Yang.

After leaving, Xu Yang first found the dog before coming here.

He patted the dog, then formed a seal with his fingers and pressed it to the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant beneath his collar.

Buzz!

A faint ripple spread out.

Fang Xuanjiu’s weak voice came from within: “Are we safe?”

“Senior, we’re safe for now!”

“What exactly is that barrier in the sky?”

Xu Yang asked, his heart pounding.

Fang Xuanjiu was silent for a few breaths and then said, “Even I did not know what was hidden within before, never expected it would be an array!”

“An array?”

“Indeed! The Haoyang Heaven-Sealing Array!”

“Even in the days when the Cyan Gang Sect existed, this was one of the foremost ancient arrays!”

“I’ve only ever seen it in ancient records, never heard of anyone actually managing to set it up!”

“Once deployed, it covers the sky and earth, encompassing an immense area, connecting to the great sun above. Once formed, only a True Sovereign can break through it!”

True Sovereign!

An existence beyond the Myriad Phenomena Realm!

Xu Yang’s scalp tingled: “Is all of this something the Cyan Gang Sect planned?”

As he asked this, he suddenly felt foolish!

How could it possibly be the Cyan Gang Sect?

Otherwise, how could Fang Xuanjiu, the Sect Leader, not know?

“Perhaps it’s related to that man named Song.”

Fang Xuanjiu’s words once again left Xu Yang silent!

This man named Song—who was he after all?

There was no information to be found!

Far too enigmatic!

Whether or not it was connected to Song Yuanhao was still an uncertainty!

“The Northern Territory is in deep trouble!”

Xu Yang’s expression shifted again and again, but this was none of his concern, nor could he do anything about it.

He could only wait for the array to be broken!

With such a commotion, there’s no way Daqian would remain ignorant!

Thinking this, Xu Yang composed himself and looked toward Linye City!

First, take care of what he needed to do!

He had arranged with Liou Yunfeng to meet in Linye City!

At a certain moment,

When he saw a group of people flying toward Linye City, Xu Yang’s eyes lit up, and he quietly entered the city!

A quarter of an hour later,

In a courtyard in the southern part of Linye City!

Xu Yang met with Liou Yunfeng and the others.

Seeing Xu Yang, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yang glanced around and found that compared to their time in Beixuan City, many were missing!

However, he understood—it was within his expectations!

Some people, after all, had many misgivings. Some just came along for the excitement. After all, they’d already profited in Beixuan City, and now with unexpected changes, how could they keep following along?

But those who remained, although their cooperation was still based on mutual benefit, could at least be considered trustworthy to some extent!

Zhang Yuanshan, Bai Song, Bai Jingxue, Meng Ziqiu, Yang Yi, Zhao Mushen, Lv Xiu, etc.—the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association was absent!

“Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association… Song Yuanhao…” A ripple rose in Xu Yang’s heart.

“Mr. Xu, it’s such a relief you’re alright.”

“The thing in the sky, do you know what…”

Worry was written across everyone’s faces!

Even those strong as Myriad Manifestations Perfection—together, they couldn’t break it; truly terrifying!

And now, there’s the threat from the Barbarian Race!

Even more frightening.

Xu Yang’s expression became grave: “All I know is that it’s called the Haoyang Heaven-Sealing Array. Only a True Sovereign can break it!”

“As for the rest, I’m not sure. Although this array was triggered from the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasury, it actually has nothing to do with the sect itself—they don’t know what’s behind any of this either!”

“What?”

“The Cyan Gang Sect doesn’t even know?”

Everyone looked at each other!

If it weren’t for Xu Yang having no reason to deceive them, they truly couldn’t believe it!

“Wait, the Haoyang Heaven-Sealing Array, that ancient formation…”

“It can actually still be set up?!”

Jian Chuan suddenly exclaimed.

“Mr. Jian knows of it?” someone asked.

Jian Chuan took a deep breath. “I’ve seen it in ancient texts—in the past several centuries, it has never appeared in the world!”

The courtyard immediately fell silent!

Everyone could only force a bitter smile!

Helpless, with no other recourse!

All they could do was wait!

Wait for someone from outside to break through the array!

During this period, the only option was to find a hidden place to lay low, to avoid being found by the Barbarian Race!

Bai Jingxue glanced at Xu Yang, a strange look flashing across her face. Thinking of all that Su Yun had told her, she silently cursed!

Luckily, she’d had someone investigate in detail and learned that Xu Yang had been betrayed by his beloved!

At once she realized, this was why Xu Yang was so wary and cold toward women!

As for what Su Yun said, it was simply utter nonsense!

If she hadn’t checked herself, and had approached things that way…

The result was unthinkable!

Bai Jingxue’s cheeks flushed slightly. Pushing down her stray thoughts, she asked solemnly, “Mr. Xu, are you going back to the Barbarian Race?”

Xu Yang laughed at her words, “After finally breaking free from the Barbarian Race, how could I go back?”

“But I doubt the Barbarians will let go of such a golden opportunity!”

“Indeed, the stronghold has already shown signs of movement!”

“Even though the Beixuan Army is there, only half remain, and there’s no reinforcements. To fend off the Barbarians seems hopeless!” Liou Yunfeng shook his head with a long sigh.

“That’s not all!”

Xu Yang’s expression grew grave: “During my time with the Barbarian Race, their chosen warriors received the Barbarian God’s legacy—and I, by a special method, took one lineage myself!”

“Besides that, they are preparing something special as well, but I have no clue what it is!”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, their faces growing even uglier!

The Barbarian Race was well-prepared!

This meant the Northern Territory could not possibly hold?

Don’t forget, King Beixuan was not present!

If they fail to hold out, what fate awaits those of them trapped here?
