Leading the group to stand before Li Tian, the Bright Moon Consort did not immediately make a move.
Her stunning face, blooming like a peach blossom, chuckled as she spoke.
"After several hundred years, I didn't think Senior Brother would still remember this humble one."
A few hundred years ago, when Li Tian first took office as the Town Guardian Envoy, He and Li families discovered traces of the Demon God Sect operating locally.
Following the trail, He and Li families eventually found the Bright Moon Consort.
Of course, that was a different Bright Moon Consort; although the two looked completely different, their auras were similar.
Cultivators only recognize the aura, not the person.
Ordinary changes to appearance are not very effective; to disguise oneself, one must tamper with the aura.
The Bright Moon Consort had no disguise; she was merely an Incarnation of the Demon God Sect Master.
She has many Incarnations like this.
Seeing that the Bright Moon Consort was not rushing to attack, Li Tian glanced toward Zhang Yuhe.
Seeing Formation Flags being thrown out from Zhang Yuhe's hands one after another, He and Li families roughly understood Zhang Yuhe's intentions.
He and Li families hadn't expected that Zhang Yuhe was not only extremely fast at Cultivating but was also highly proficient in the Dao of Formation.
The fact that Zhang Yuhe was carrying a large number of Formation Flags immediately allowed Li Tian's taut nerves to slowly relax.
Everyone understands the principle of Breaking the Formation with a Formation, but understanding it is useless; you need to know how to do it, and you need the right tools.
It now seemed that Zhang Yuhe was exactly the kind of person who both knew how to set up a Formation and had the necessary tools.
Li Tian understood that He and Li families only needed to stall the Bright Moon Consort and her group, allowing Zhang Yuhe to focus on Breaking the Formation.
Once the defensive Formation of Mirror Void City was broken, they would naturally have a way to destroy the Altar inside the city.
Looking at the Bright Moon Consort's beautiful smile, Li Tian was happy to humor her.
He and Li families spoke to the Bright Moon Consort with a hint of disdain.
"Zhao Mingyue, do you only dare to send out an Incarnation, while your True Body hides?"
"Hehehe, this humble one truly doesn't dare. It wouldn't be good if I were caught by the Old Monsters of your Dao Saint Sect."
"What, does Senior Brother want to see my True Body? When this humble one Breakthroughs to Mahayana, I'll go see you at the Dao Saint Sect, how about that?"
"Dream on. Relying on Cultivating that Body Transforming into Ten Thousand Divine Ability, you can forget about Breakthrough to Mahayana in this lifetime."
Hearing Li Tian's words, the Bright Moon Consort's expression instantly became extremely gloomy.
Because that sentence struck her painful spot.
About ten thousand years ago, Zhao Mingyue accidentally acquired the External Incarnation Divine Ability, and at the time, she treated it like a priceless treasure.
This was because this Divine Ability was simply too powerful, capable of creating countless Incarnations.
Furthermore, these Incarnations all possessed a certain level of power, only two major Realms lower than the True Body.
Such a powerful Divine Ability completely overturned common Cultivation knowledge.
However, what she didn't know at the time was that this External Incarnation Divine Ability had a fatal flaw.
Cultivating this External Incarnation Divine Ability not only required consuming a massive amount of time.
Most importantly, every Incarnation required a portion of her Divine Soul aura to be attached to it.
Once an Incarnation was destroyed, that portion of the Divine Soul would be permanently lost.
The consequence of an incomplete Divine Soul was the inability to ever make another Breakthrough.
She was unaware of this at the time, only realizing the enormous flaw of this Divine Ability after her first Incarnation was killed by the Dao Saint Sect.
Ten thousand years ago, Zhao Mingyue was already at the Body Integration Perfection Realm of Cultivation.
But ten thousand years later, she was still treading water, with not an inch of progress in her Cultivation.
Zhao Mingyue had tried various methods, but none could solve the problem of her incomplete Divine Soul.
From then on, Zhao Mingyue became even more fanatical.
She used her Incarnations to stir up trouble across Yu Fan Heaven.
Because she understood that relying on herself, she would probably never be able to solve this tricky issue.
She could only pin her hopes on the Demon Race, and specifically those Demon Gods comparable to True Immortals, who might have a way to solve her incomplete Divine Soul problem.
Her repeated actions were merely intended to divert the attention of the Dao Saint Sect.
Once the Dao Saint Sect was drawn away by an Incarnation, she would move her True Body, thoroughly opening the Two Realms Channel to summon the Demon Gods.
Although the Demon Race that invaded one hundred thousand years ago was repelled by the Dao Saint Sect, the Two Realms Channel was also sealed by the Dao Saint Sect at that time.
However, a sealed Channel still held the opportunity to be reopened, and Zhao Mingyue had been searching for that chance.
Unfortunately, that Channel was located on the Rear Mountain of the Dao Saint Sect, where not only were Dao Saint Sect Elders stationed, but also Great Ascension Old Ancestors stood guard.
As long as she could find a way to lure away the Dao Saint Sect's Great Ascension Old Ancestor, she would have a chance to sneak into the Rear Mountain and open the Channel again.
The arrangement at Mirror Void City this time was also for this very purpose... Li Tian's words just now were like a knife stabbing into the Bright Moon Consort's heart.
Ten thousand years without any progress in Cultivation had caused her mind to become somewhat twisted.
She looked at Li Tian with a gloomy expression, then glanced at Zhang Yuhe, who was busy working in the distance.
The Bright Moon Consort had always been wary of this newly appointed Town Guardian Envoy.
Because she couldn't see through him; He and Li families seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.
Seeing Formation Flags continuously flying out of Zhang Yuhe's hands, the Bright Moon Consort's expression changed.
She pointed toward Zhang Yuhe and hastily said to the others beside her.
"Go kill him! Don't let him set up the Formation. As for this Senior Brother of the Dao Saint Sect, I will personally entertain him."
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
The Old Ancestors of He and Li families, plus four Soul Transformation Cultivators from Fengxin Pavilion, instantly rose into the air, preparing to pounce on Zhang Yuhe.
"Hmph, no one gets to leave."
Li Tian was originally happy to stall the opponent and wasn't anxious to fight.
After all, Zhang Yuhe was busy preparing to Break the Formation.
Now, seeing several Soul Transformation Cultivators trying to interfere, He and Li families naturally wouldn't allow it.
As Li Tian's voice fell, He and Li families struck out with his palm.
A massive, illusory palm shadow, radiating scorching flame aura, instantly enveloped all seven people opposite him.
Facing the Dao Saint Sect's Senior Brother, no one dared to be careless.
The Bright Moon Consort waved her right hand, and a golden Bell slowly appeared. She formed an Incantation, and the golden Bell instantly floated above Li Tian's head.
The Bell rapidly expanded, covering Li Tian as if trying to trap him inside.
Li Tian clenched his right hand into a fist and punched towards the Bell above his head. The gigantic fist shadow instantly sent the Bell flying.
The others also used their own methods, with shining Spirit Treasures mixed with various Divine Abilities attacking Li Tian.
"Hmph."
Li Tian formed an Incantation with his hands, and a blazing Wall of Fire appeared, blocking all incoming attacks.
At the same time, a Giant Axe, radiating a fiery aura, appeared in Li Tian's hand without warning.
A Low Grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Li Fire Vermilion Bird Axe.
Li Tian formed an Incantation, and the Giant Axe, blazing with endless flames, instantly chopped towards the Li family Old Ancestor, Li Jiangxiong.
Seeing the Giant Axe incoming, Li Jiangxiong was shocked. He and Li families quickly took out a yellow Shield to block in front of him.
The Giant Axe, carrying scorching flames, instantly struck the Shield.
Crack... The Shield in Li Jianghe's hand was only a High Grade Magic Treasure and could not withstand the full power of the Giant Axe's strike; it was instantly shattered by the Giant Axe.
After the Shield broke, Li Jiangxiong spat out fresh blood and flew backward.
With a single full-power strike, Li Tian immediately severely injured one opponent, fully demonstrating the strength of the Dao Saint Sect's Senior Brother.
Zhang Yuhe was setting up the Formation while observing the battle here.
Seeing Li Tian fight one against seven without being disadvantaged, even heavily injuring one opponent, He and Li families couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"As expected of the Dao Saint Sect's Senior Brother, He and Li families truly has some skill."
