Chapter 1578: The Boy Attendant

"How dare you! Men, seize this witch!"

Seeing the girl block Luo Xuanqing, the Luo family head on the side finally understood. His face darkened as he shouted.

If he allowed this woman to take Zhang Xuan away today, the Luo family would not rise but become a laughingstock across the entire continent.

"Yes!"

Swish!

As the words fell, dozens of Luo family elders flew up and, in the blink of an eye, surrounded Luo Ruoxi and the boy attendant beside her.

"Don't..."

Zhang Xuan was frantic, not expecting things to turn this way so quickly. But as he moved, he felt his body tighten. Turning his head, he saw two Luo family elders simultaneously sealing the space around him.

"Witch, since you're here, stay here today!"

With a light snort, Luo Qingcheng formed a sword with his fingers and pointed.

The girl's expression remained calm, returning to her previous aloof demeanor. She lifted her eyelids, about to strike, when the boy attendant beside her stepped forward: "Miss, let me handle these chickens and dogs. Don't dirty your hands."

"Mm."

Nodding, Luo Ruoxi clasped her hands behind her back and stood still, as if utterly unconcerned by the attack from the Luo family's grand elder.

"Die!"

Enraged by the opponent's arrogance, Luo Qingcheng's sword light grew fiercer, howling as it tore through space.

Just as it was about to land on Luo Ruoxi, the boy attendant smiled lightly, stepped forward, and caught it with two fingers.

Pop!

The sword light shattered instantly.

"Lie down!"

Having shattered the opponent's sword energy, the boy attendant flipped his palm.

Turning his hand, he summoned clouds and rain!

Luo Qingcheng felt as if heaven and earth had overturned; his center of gravity unstable, he was about to fall from the air at any moment.

"Attack together!"

Unable to bear it any longer, he shouted loudly.

This boy attendant, who looked only thirteen or fourteen, was unimaginably powerful.

The many elders surrounding them, seeing the grand elder at a disadvantage, did not hesitate and attacked together.

Dozens of elders, all at least at the Ninth Layer of the Saint Domain, struck simultaneously. Their power, like a torrential rain, formed a circular ring of light in the courtyard in an instant, tearing toward the boy attendant.

Cracks appeared in the space around the ring; as soon as this power emerged, it shredded everything. At the center, a storm raged, capable of annihilating even a top-grade saint artifact within a single breath.

"It's the Luo family's Demon-Subduing Ring! Even I can't withstand this move..."

Yang Shi's expression turned grave.

Individually, the Luo family elders were not exceptionally strong, but united, they were terrifying.

Even a super-strong expert like Yang Shi, who had reached the Undying Realm of the Great Sage, would struggle to contend with it.

"Heh, interesting!"

Facing this move, the boy attendant remained unruffled. His five fingers stretched out like spreading branches and gently tapped the air.

Pop!

Space rippled, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Under the stirring ripples, the advancing ring of light veered sideways like a wave, deviating from its original target, shooting into the sky, and vanishing without a trace.

"This is... stirring space? What cultivation level is this boy attendant?"

Yang Shi's pupils contracted; he was startled.

He had thought that a mere boy attendant blocking Luo Qingcheng was surprising enough, but he never dreamed that the boy could casually block the Luo family's strongest Demon-Subduing Ring and redirect its power outward!

This was beyond terrifying.

"Stirring space? What's that?"

Xing Jiansheng on the side couldn't help asking.

Even he hadn't understood the technique the boy attendant had just used.

"The Demon-Subduing Ring is a combined formation created by a Luo family ancestor. It unites twenty-one experts to form three Big Dipper formations, concentrating their power into a ring that cuts through space. When a normal cultivator encounters it, no matter how they evade, they are locked by the aura and cannot dodge... That's why I said even I might not be able to withstand it."

Yang Shi spoke gravely: "However, this boy attendant, with a light tap, stirred space and easily broke it. If you think of space as a cloth, and a swarm of ants charges over it, as long as you're on the cloth, you can't avoid them. But if you jump off the cloth and lift it, the ants will rush elsewhere and have nothing to do with you... Stirring space is exactly that! By stirring the entire space like a cloth, even if the Demon-Subduing Ring can cut, it will follow the lifted space and continue onward, posing no threat..."

"This..."

Xing Jiansheng trembled all over.

He could tear space too, but this was clearly more terrifying than tearing!

If even a boy attendant was this formidable, who exactly was this woman his son liked?

"Enough playing. All of you, lie down!"

Having broken the Luo family's combined Demon-Subduing Ring with one move, the boy attendant smiled again and slapped down with his palm.

Swish!

Luo Qingcheng and the others could no longer resist; they fell from the sky, faces pale, spitting blood.

"Activate the sect-protecting formation..."

Not expecting the opponent to be so terrifying, the Luo family head could no longer hold back. A token in his hand floated into the air, and a violent energy fluctuation surged out. In an instant, the sky seemed sealed.

As a family passed down for tens of thousands of years, the Luo family's sect-protecting formation was immensely powerful. Once activated, without knowing how to break it, even Yang Shi would be trapped inside.

Zhang Xuan had been able to leave the Zhang family easily back then because he used the library to find loopholes. Any formation, before him, was like a naked beauty—no secrets, hence no threat.

But for others, it was different.

With space sealed, many spatial techniques became unusable, and one's strength would drop by seventy to eighty percent. The formation also contained various attacks; even an Undying Realm expert caught inside would be flustered and unable to escape.

Seeing that the combined elders couldn't subdue the opponent, the Luo family head immediately unleashed his trump card formation.

"The Luo family's sect-protecting formation is decent, but trying to trap me is still naive!"

Still smiling, the boy attendant suddenly flew up.

Zzzt!

The formation activated instantly, sending countless ropes-like tendrils coiling toward him, as if to tear him to pieces.

Raising his eyebrows, the boy attendant spread his ten fingers, grabbed outward, and pulled gently.

Boom!

The formation collapsed, and violent energy shot out in all directions. Under his pull, the Luo family's sect-protecting formation couldn't withstand it; spiritual energy scattered.

"Any other tricks? Bring them all out!"

Having dismantled the Luo family's sect-protecting formation with one move, the boy attendant clasped his hands behind his back, hovered in the air, and looked over calmly.

For a moment, there was dead silence.
