Chapter 1486: The Saint Son Grand Formation

In the tens of thousands of years since the Saint Son Hall was established, for the first time, a student had beaten up the acting hall master and elders, and for the first time, the formation of the Hall Master's Hall was destroyed and the buildings collapsed.

If this trend continued, what authority would the elders and hall master have?

"Teacher Zhang, what should we do?"

Seeing many elders of the Saint Son Hall floating in the air, the protective formation activated, and space sealed off, Chen Le'ao's face turned pale, trembling.

Although she was a genius of the Ice Plain Palace and had experienced many battles, she had never seen such a grand scene!

One person against the entire Saint Son Hall—if not unprecedented, it was certainly unparalleled.

"What else can we do? Once caught, it will be impossible to save Zhao Ya!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

The situation with Zhao Ya was critical and could not be delayed. If caught, it would inevitably cause delays. Moreover, judging by the demeanor of Master Zhan and the others, punishment would be unavoidable.

Therefore, he must not allow himself to be captured; otherwise, there would be no chance of turning things around.

He had not yet fulfilled the three conditions and could not produce the Hall Master's Token; otherwise, it would be equivalent to voluntarily giving up the identity of hall master. This was the test for successive hall masters, and he could not break the rule. Helpless, he could only resist by force.

Understanding this, Zhang Xuan did not explain. Staring at the protective formation already in operation in the air, he muttered in his mind.

"Flaws!"

Immediately, a book appeared before his eyes. He lightly tapped it, and knowledge flowed into his mind.

"The One Qi Heaven Repairing Formation! A peak ninth-grade formation... truly powerful!"

The protective formation of the Saint Son Hall was left by Saint Kui in ancient times and later supplemented by countless hall masters.

Every true hall master of the Saint Son Hall possessed the Eye of Insight, able to find flaws. After tens of thousands of years and the wisdom of so many, the formation before him had very few flaws. Even if not perfect, it was close.

"Only seven flaws—the fewest I've seen in any formation..."

He raised his eyebrows.

According to the library's introduction, the formation before him had seven flaws. But no matter how many flaws there were, as long as they existed, they were not a problem for him.

"Qilin Beast, Azure Dragon Beast, you break the formation and block the attacks of these fellows. I will continue studying the teleportation formation..."

Relieved, he moved his mind, imprinting all the flaws and changes of this formation into the minds of the two sacred beasts.

Back in the Warlord Union, he could already transmit messages through the soul. Now that his soul was even stronger, doing this was effortless.

"Roar!"

Receiving the information in their minds, both sacred beasts trembled.

They had long known that this master, though young, had extraordinary insight, but they never dreamed that he could analyze so many flaws in this profound formation, which they could not understand at all, in the blink of an eye.

These flaws, individually insignificant, when combined, were enough to affect the foundation.

"Zhang Xuan, your spirit beasts are powerful, but before the protective formation, they are nothing. I advise you to see the situation clearly..."

Seeing that after his shout, this Zhang Xuan was not afraid but continued studying the formation flags on the ground, Master Zhan's eyes narrowed again, nearly exploding with rage.

Roar!

Before he finished speaking, the Flame Qilin Beast suddenly charged upward. With a roar, its thick claws shimmered with cold light, tearing through the air and striking in a direction.

At the same time, the Hell Azure Dragon Beast, its long body hugging the ground, shot forward, ramming its head into a nearby building.

The reason the protective formation was so powerful was due to the cultural fortune accumulated over ten thousand years by the academy and the connection of the spiritual energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years with the earth veins.

The Qilin Beast's claws struck a node of the formation, and as the Azure Dragon Beast crashed into the building, it collapsed, causing the connection point between the earth veins and spiritual energy to immediately disperse.

With two flaws attacked, in the blink of an eye, the mighty One Qi Heaven Repairing Formation became like a leaking balloon, losing its previous power.

Boom!

The power that had just been frozen in midair continued to gush forth, falling straight down toward Zhan Shi and the others.

"This... this is impossible!"

Pale-faced, Zhan Shi was so frightened he nearly fell from the sky.

The protective grand formation of the Saint Son Hall had been attacked by elite members of the Alien Spirit Clan no fewer than dozens of times over tens of thousands of years, each time returning in vain. Its defense was so strong that, even if not invincible under heaven, few formations could surpass it!

Such a defense, broken in one blow by two sacred beasts... how was it done?

"Block it!"

Realizing panic was useless, he flipped his palm while in midair, and a palm print descended from the sky.

Saint Domain top-grade martial technique, River-Overturning Seal!

This technique, created by the fourth hall master of the Saint Son Hall, descended from the sky with unmatched power. Combined with the surging fortune of the Saint Son Hall, it could kill even a mid-stage Saint Domain Ninth Layer cultivator in one blow.

However, his opponent was the Flame Qilin Beast.

Having broken the formation in one move, the Qilin Beast was in high spirits. Seeing the palm wind coming, it didn't even dodge; it raised its head and charged straight forward.

Boom!

The palm print landed on its head, as if striking a top-grade saint artifact, numbing the hand. The next moment, the Qilin Beast's head reached Zhan Shi's chest and slammed viciously into it.

Whoosh!

Zhan Shi flew backward, shooting straight into the sky like a meteor, turning into a streak of light.

"Hall Master..."

Not expecting the beast to be so ferocious, Elder Ge and the others were startled and hurriedly rushed over.

The Qilin Beast roared, its originally small body suddenly expanding to thirty or forty meters in size, and it charged into them bodily.

Crash!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Elder Ge and over a dozen elders were simultaneously sent flying backward, their eyebrows and hair all scorched.

The Flame Qilin Beast's strongest aspect was not its claws or tail, but its physical body!

Tempered day and night by Qilin fire, its body had long become as hard as a top-grade saint artifact. When it charged bodily, even a peak Saint Domain Ninth Layer cultivator could not withstand it, let alone these people.

"This is... Teacher Zhang's beast pet?"

"How can it be so powerful?"

"Openly opposing the hall master and many elders—is Teacher Zhang rebelling against the Master Teacher Hall?"

The many students watching from around were all stunned.

In their eyes, Acting Hall Master Zhan and Elder Ge were invincible beings; they never dreamed that they would be knocked into disarray by a sacred beast, utterly unable to resist.

Most crucially, by attacking these people in public, there was no way to explain it to the Master Teacher Hall. Was Zhang Xuan no longer going to be a master teacher?

"Damn it, damn it!"

With a dent in his chest and spitting large mouthfuls of blood, Zhan Shi flew back from afar and shouted again before even arriving: "All elders, heed my command! Form the [Saint Son Grand Formation] and attack together!"

The protective hall formation was broken, and he and all the elders were brutally beaten. Intense anger could no longer be suppressed.

If not properly punished, the entire Saint Son Hall would become a laughingstock!

"Yes!"

The many elders responded in unison.

Immediately, they scattered in all directions, taking their respective positions, and simultaneously surged their power, forming something like a fishing net in the air.

"The Saint Son Grand Formation... Teacher Zhang, this is bad, run!"

Her face turning deathly pale, Chen Leyao couldn't help but look at the young man beside her who was still studying the teleportation formation. Her delicate body trembled, filled with terror.
