Chapter 1009: Scheme Against Each Other (Part 1)
To say that the major sects were not completely unprepared, Yang Chen had already reminded them at the beginning that it was not the elixir provided by Yang Chen. This clearly meant that someone was causing trouble and they would be a fool not to be careful.
But beware, beware, but there doesn't seem to be much problem with this elixir. Experts from various medicine halls have checked it countless times, but they can't find the hidden trap inside. This is not the kind of crystal that was used during the catastrophe of mortal magic. It was refined by myself. I think there should be no problem in eating it, right?
Especially when Xuantian Sect also said that there was no problem, basically all the major sects relaxed their vigilance. Of course, it's just a group of people, and the top management still doesn't dare to relax. The smart ones just keep an eye on Chunyang Palace. Whenever Chunyang Palace lets its disciples take it, they will follow suit. If Chunyang Palace never allows its disciples to take it, then nothing will happen.
It's just that although the major sects are on guard, they haven't set up sect rules to guard against it like Chunyang Palace. It's just a harmless elixir, and it's not worthy of such a big fanfare. Moreover, there are many disciples in each sect, and many have reached the stage of boredom in practice. With this kind of pill, it can collectively improve the cultivation of a large number of disciples. As long as the sect does not encourage it, it is enough. This attitude is also the attitude of most sects. They don't encourage it, but they don't understand the prohibition on it. They just treat it as a kind of elixir like the Questioning Heart Pill that can assist in practice. It only plays a supporting role, and the final level of cultivation depends on the monk himself.
However, the attitudes of all the major sects are very consistent in certain aspects. The group of masters who entered the trial area had almost the same ideas.
Except for the Xuantian Sect, which already knew there was something wrong with the pill and deliberately let some masters take the Heart Refining Pill so that they could easily enter the trial site, the other sects arranged for masters to enter without knowing it.
Just like Xuantianmen's method, the masters who enter the trial land all work in small teams. There were as many as dozens or hundreds of people, as few as ten people, and at least five or six people. Everyone enters together. On the one hand, there is care, and on the other hand, it will not be eaten up suddenly.
This method was commonly used when regaining lost ground before. This is especially true when entering the territory of Xuanxian monsters. It's okay to fight alone among low-level monsters, but when you encounter high-level monsters, every one will die. Only when everyone gathered like this, could they slowly eliminate the monsters and regain the lost territory bit by bit. The Zhao family was targeting experts from all sides, but they were not surprised to see such a situation. Many masters have followed this pattern for so many years since the beginning of the Demonic Tribulation, and it is no longer surprising. Anyway, the Zhao family's trap is just to let more and more Xuanxian masters enter the depths of the trial place. As for the method. The Zhao family doesn't care.
The trump card used to eliminate these masters is the kind of medicinal gas that induces addiction. As soon as the medicinal gas comes out, these masters will inevitably be affected for at least two breaths. When masters fight each other, two breaths are enough to distinguish between life and death. Although there are many Xuanxian masters from various sects, there are also many masters from the Zhao family, right?
When Yang Chen announced the news, it was when the Zhao family was already planning to take action. Yang Xi was right. There was still a time lag from when Yang Chen announced the Heart Refining Pill conspiracy to when the news was sent to the major sects. This time difference was just enough for the major sects to know but were unable to notify the elites in the trial area. Yang Chen could not be blamed afterwards. In order to add a halo to Yang Chen's head again. Yang Xi also took great pains.
The elites of the Trial Land were indeed in trouble. However, they ran into trouble. It's not the conspiracy of the Heart Refining Pill, but the formation at the core of the trial place. It was the formation that Yang Chen and Li Cheng wanted to enter the real core place but were blocked from outside. If Yang Chen hadn't carried the magic weapon of the Zhao family manor with him, which belongs to the same lineage, the two wanted to enter the trial without alerting anyone. The core of the refining land is simply impossible.
The masters of the major sects today are encountering exactly the same troubles that Yang Chen and Li Cheng encountered back then. An invisible barrier blocked them from the core area, and once this invisible barrier was probed with divine consciousness for a long time, it would even absorb divine consciousness crazily and even kill the monks.
Just because of this characteristic of swallowing up spiritual consciousness. At least hundreds of Xuanxian masters fell into the trap and were sucked into human bodies and died.
The purpose of each major sect sending Xuanxian masters into the trial place. It's nothing more than one clearing out the mysterious monsters in the trial area, and the other trying to find the whereabouts of the Zhao family. It took almost ten years for so many masters to achieve the previous goal. A lot has been completed as well. But the latter target has never been found.
After clearing the peripheral monsters, it is natural to enter the core area. All the Xuanxian masters who came in were a little excited. In the past, masters of many generations and generations could only circle around the periphery of the trial place. Now, with the help of the Heart Refining Pill, they finally reached the edge of the core area. How many people They were all very excited.
The stronger this invisible barrier is, the more it indicates there is a problem inside. The truth is simply obvious. When the Zhao family fought in the Sanjiang Alliance, there were so many mysterious monsters, and everyone could guess their origin.
When they think that the other side of the barrier is the Zhao family's lair, the experts from all sides feel itchy. At this time, everyone basically followed the unspoken rules of the past. Which sect would attack from the direction originally controlled by that sect, but now they are all blocked by this barrier.
Each sect paid the price of several Xuanxian masters, but it also made everyone understand that this barrier cannot be probed casually with spiritual consciousness. Elite masters from all sides are concentrated in this area, trying every means to break this barrier and get to the back.
At this point, the various sects have begun healthy competition based on tacit cooperation. Everyone already has a common understanding, whichever sect breaks through this barrier first will be the biggest winner. Even if there are rewards based on merit in the future, it will still be the first achievement.
Basically, experts from all parties have gathered together and are distributed in all directions. Except for the occasional few who were still mopping up the few Mysterious Immortal monsters outside the trial area, almost all the elite masters were outside the barrier.
What the Zhao family wants is for the masters to gather together so that they can all be caught in one fell swoop. If the attack fails, so many Xuanxian masters will disperse in a rush, and it will not be that easy to annihilate them.
The Zhao family, who had been keeping an eye on the experts from all sides, began to make targeted arrangements. When all preparations were made, a thunderous attack suddenly launched.
