<h4>Chapter 587: Chapter 586: Sect-Protecting Great Formation</h4>


    The scene was as still as death; those who had just been moring for the Sect Master to kill Su Yang had now all shut their mouths.


    Those who previously imed Su Yang had won the May Dragon Head Meeting only with the help of Sword Saint Ye now fell silent as cicadas in winter.


    With such strength, who needs anyone’s help?


    Now, everyone finally understood why Su Yang had emerged victorious at the May Dragon Head Meeting!


    It was his own absolute strength!


    From a distance, Lin Zhenshan and others were stirred with excitement. Particrly Lin Qing, who jumped up happily, shouting, "Young Master Su, that’s great, really great!"


    Jeang Zier was also dumbstruck. Their Divine Farmer Sect had studied the River God Sect for a long time and naturally knew just how strong the River God Sect Master was. In her opinion, it would have been decent if Su Yang could fight to a draw with the River God Sect Master.


    Who could have expected Su Yang to possess such strength, defeating the River God Sect Master so casually?


    This caused Jeang Zier’s heart to race, thinking that if such a master were willing to help, perhaps he could resolve the great cmity facing her sect!


    "How... how is this possible? How is this possible?" Zhao Wuyuan came back to her senses, tremblingly said, "He actually defeated the Sect Master, how is this possible?"


    Zhao Wunian was even more shocked, his face nk, on the verge of copse.


    If Su Yang had been killed by the Sect Master, then they would have been off the hook. All the earlier ndering and framing of Su Yang would have been wiped clean.


    But now, the Sect Master had been defeated. And Su Yang had won so easily; that really spelled trouble.


    After Su Yang dealt with the Sect Master, what good oue could they possibly expect?


    As everyone was thrown into a panic, the Sect Master suddenlyughed out loud. He tilted his head back and looking at Su Yang almost maniacally, he roared, "Good! Good! Good! Indeed, with each new generationes new talent that surpasses the old. Young man, to possess such strength at your age is indeed impressive, you are one of the most promising youths I’ve ever seen!"


    "But do you think you can defeat me just like that? You’re too naive!"


    Everyone was startled. Could it be that the Sect Master had other hidden strengths?


    The Sect Master took a step back and proimed loudly, "The River God Sect has existed for so long, producing Spiritual Medicine from the River God Cave every year, but do you know why no one dares to cause trouble for the River God Sect?"


    Su Yang nced at the Sect Master and said coldly, "You’re not going to tell me it’s because of your strength, right?"


    "Hmph, not just because of my strength, but also because of our Sect-Protecting Great Formation!" sneered the Sect Master. "I know what you’re here for, you’re here to rescue that Magician with the surname Fang. Hmph, but do you know where he is?"


    Su Yang’s expression remained calm, "You’ll tell me!"


    "Indeed, I will tell you. But can you save him?" The Sect Masterughed heartily. "I’ll tell you, he’s right behind our Sect-Protecting Great Formation!"


    Su Yang frowned; this was something he had never heard of.


    "The Sect-Protecting Great Formation of the River God Sect envelops the entire sect. Inside this River God Sect, I can harness the power of the Great Formation!" The Sect Masterughed loudly to the sky. "People say I am in the Near-God Realm. Do you know what the Near-God Realm is? Once I employ the Sect-Protecting Great Formation of the River God Sect, I can basically wield the power of Terrestrial Immortals!"


    "You might be able to withstand one of my Near-God Moves, but can you withstand a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand?"


    No sooner had he spoken, the Sect Master stepped back and shouted, "Where is the River God Jade!"


    The Sect Master had hardly finished speaking when a loud shout came from a distant mountain: "Sect Master, catch the jade!"


    Su Yang furrowed his brow; he could feel that, from a distant cave, four people were working together to move a piece of jade stone out.


    The jade stone flew swiftly and soon arrived inside the grand hall.


    Su Yang flicked his finger to deflect the jade stone, but he clearly underestimated the stone’s power. The jade stone deflected his force andnded directly in the Sect Master’s hands.


    With the jade stone in his grip, the Sect Master’s demeanor suddenly lifted, and heughed loudly, "With the River God Jade in hand, I can activate the River God Sect’s Sect-Protecting Great Formation. Within the River God Sect, nobody can escape!"


    No sooner had he spoken than the Sect Master leapt into the air, clutching the River God Jade and channeling its power with all his might.


    Immediately, endless ck light surged from within the River God Jade, spreading rapidly in all directions. At the same time, ck mist began to appear around the pce, quickly enveloping the building.


    The people inside the pce were thrown into a panic, with some trying to run outside. However, as soon as they approached the ck mist, it corroded them, leaving their bodies rotted and decayed to death.


    The crowd grew even more terrified. Zhao Wunian urgently said, "Sect Master, we are from the Zhao Family of Yangchuan!"


    Feng Wenchuan also spoke urgently, "Sect Master, we of Zifeng’s Seven Great Families would never dare to defy the River God Sect!"


    The Sect Master looked up with a coldugh, "I know, as long as you sit here in this grand hall and don’t move, I can protect youpletely!"


    Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and all sneered as they looked at Su Yang.


    "Su, this time, you’re definitely dead!" Zhao Wuyuan said excitedly; she wished for Su Yang to die immediately so she wouldn’t have to be afraid anymore.


    In the distance, Jeang Zier was also frantically leading Lin Zhenshan, Lin Qing, and Niuniu in flight, with ck mist constantly emerging, leaving them nowhere to hide.


    Su Yang frowned, raised his hand, and a piece of azure jade stone rapidlynded above Jeang Zier’s head.


    "Stand there, don’t move; this jade stone will protect you!" Su Yang said with a deep voice.


    Though Jeang Zier was fearful inside, she trusted Su Yang deeply. She and the others stood still, and from within the jade stone above their heads, a faint azure light flickered, enveloping them in its glow.


    No matter how the ck mist outside spread, it could not prate into this azure light. This jade stone had indeed created a safe space for them!


    The Sect Master, however, had his eyes light up and said in a deep voice, "Another precious jade? I truly didn’t expect you to have such a treasure. It seems it’s my River God Sect’s turn to make a fortune. Once I kill you, this precious jade will be mine, hehehe..."


    Without wasting words, the Nine Cold Jade Sword rose from behind Su Yang, and he stood proudly in midair, with another piece of white jade stone appearing above his head.


    The one he had given to Jeang Zier was the Azure Dragon Jade, and the one above his head was the White Tiger Jade; both were Divine Beast Jade stones as powerful as the Kirin Jade.


    The Sect Master was taken aback, eximing, "Another precious jade? The heavens really favor me; I’m making a fortune this time!"


    "You can talk about killing me after you’ve managed it," Su Yang retorted coldly, snapping his fingers on the Nine Cold Jade Sword.


    The Nine Cold Jade Sword immediately shot out, rushing towards the Sect Master.


    "A mantis trying to stop a chariot,ughably overestimating oneself!" the Sect Master coldlyughed, not bothering to dodge as he shook the River God Jade in his hand.


    At that moment, the ck mist inside the grand hall suddenly condensed and transformed into a giant ck python, rushing swiftly towards the Nine Cold Jade Sword.
