Chapter 270: Taking Action

“The Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation… Damn it, it’s from the Wan Si clan…”
The young man disregarded everything, burning the Void God Laws within him to greatly enhance his strength, and immediately sensed the origin of the external formation.
The Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation!
It was unique to the Wan Si clan.
“Damn it! This time, the leader is Wan Si Yulong… Will you really attack your own people without hesitation?”
The young man roared, his voice filled with indescribable grief and anger. Once the Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation was activated, they had no chance of survival. Even a true god trapped within it would find it extremely difficult to escape.
“Oh? It’s been recognized…”
Wan Si Yulong, the gloomy man from the Wan Si clan, sneered coldly. “Since it’s been recognized, then all of you die.”
As he spoke, Wan Si Yulong formed seals with his hands, and instantly, the power of the Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation surged. Around him, the other nine people took their positions, their divine artifacts emitting beams of light that, combined with the formation’s power, attacked the three people below.
The Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation had locked down the entire space within a thousand miles; only true gods could detect its existence.
But the true gods from the Source Continent were glad to see the descendants of the guardians of the other world fighting among themselves, thus avoiding the need for them to intervene.
“Wan Si Yulong, aren’t you afraid of facing punishment from all the guardians for doing this? You’ll bring disaster upon the Wan Si clan!”
The young man’s face turned red as he shouted frantically.
“As long as you die, who else will know?” Wan Si Yulong laughed heartily. His hands moved rapidly, forming seals one after another, continuously strengthening the Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation.
“I know.”
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang in Wan Si Yulong’s ear. Immediately afterward, that space shattered.
Although the Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation was powerful enough to seal off space, once detected and attacked from the outside, it could be easily broken.
It was more like a trap.
But Chen Xiao didn’t break through the formation—he merely shattered the sealed space outside it, allowing the situation inside to be transmitted directly to the other descendants of the guardians.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted in that space, releasing the energy waves of the Heavenly Fire Formation, which were instantly sensed by the descendants of guardians wandering in the vicinity.
In an instant, dozens of people rushed in from all directions.
“It’s the Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation of the Wan Si clan… That’s Wan Si Yulong!” Someone immediately recognized Wan Si Yulong and the others inside the formation.
“How is this possible!? They’re attacking their own people?!” Everyone found this scenario unbelievable.
The guardians could tolerate their companions being killed or even having their Void God Laws plundered after death. But the actions of the Wan Si clan’s descendants would likely result in them being attacked by everyone.

“Bastard, who the hell is it?!” Wan Si Yu Long was shocked to his core, but at this moment, he couldn’t stop immediately—after all, a grand formation wasn’t something that could be easily retracted. Moreover, being attacked out of nowhere and having their whereabouts exposed had already thrown them into chaos. “Brothers in hiding, thank you!” Inside the formation, the three trapped youths were stunned. They activated their own Virtual Divine Laws and launched a full-force attack at the Tianhuo Formation. With a loud crash, the formation, which had already been weakened by Chen Xiao, was shattered, and Wan Si Yu Long and his group were also severely injured due to the sudden attack. “Hmph…” Hidden in the shadows, Chen Xiao didn’t appear right away but simply watched coldly from above. “Wan Si Yu Long, what are you doing?! As descendants of the guardians, you’re attacking your own people!” The twenty or so people who had arrived later all showed angry expressions. If they could attack those three youths this time, it was only a matter of time before they turned on them next. Dying at the hands of gods infiltrated from the Source Continent didn’t bother them, but dying at the hands of their own people was utterly humiliating. “Let’s go!” Wan Si Yu Long’s face darkened. Seeing more and more descendants of the guardians gathering around, he made a quick decision to leave. “Leave? It’s not that simple. If no one captures you all together this time, you probably won’t be satisfied.” Chen Xiao sneered from the void. In an instant, he spread his massive hand— a huge purple palm covering an area of a hundred miles— and smacked Wan Si Yu Long and the others to the ground. Moments later, a terrifying devouring force emanated from that purple palm, consuming all the Virtual Divine Laws of the ten members of the Wan Si clan. Then, the palm disappeared, and the cultivation levels of those ten people dropped to the Domain realm. “It’s that guy again… Who is he?” The people around couldn’t help but change their expressions upon seeing that purple palm. Over the past half month, this purple giant palm had appeared countless times—either rescuing trapped descendants of the guardians, killing gods from the Source Continent, or driving them away. Everyone thought it must be some god hiding in the shadows helping them. “First, capture these ten from the Wan Si clan. Damn it, killing their own companions and stealing their Virtual Divine Laws—this is pure madness! Even worse than those demons sealed deep within.” These descendants of the guardians said through gritted teeth. In the blink of an eye, those ten were captured by the descendants of the guardians, with their cultivation levels suppressed. These ten were all elites of the Wan Si clan—those who could become candidates for guardians had the potential to become gods. They were the future ten gods of the Wan Si clan. Moreover, after this incident, the reputation of the Wan Si clan would likely suffer, even turning them into public enemies of all guardian families. …

“A wretch of the Wan Si clan, actually exposed like this… But who is that person? Someone who could detect the Ten Directions Heavenly Fire Formation—could it be Chen Xiao, the one who killed Wan Si Yuxiu?”
In a corner of the void, a man like mist wore a cold smile as he watched the captured members of the Wan Si clan.
“However, Chen Xiao has no grudges against my Yun family, so it’s better not to provoke him… But his strength is already extremely close to that of a deity. Where on earth did such a monster come from…”
The mist-like man’s figure flickered slightly before disappearing.
