Only the hall masters and those at higher levels can re-enter the domain of Sky Shadow's pressure. In fact, the strength of a hall master is not necessarily less than that of an elder. On the contrary, they can become hall masters precisely because their expertise in the Five Elements is exceptional, even beyond the elders.

At this moment, three elders have already broken through Sky Shadow's first barrier, each displaying their special techniques...

Some rely on sheer, iron-like destructive force to break through. Especially those elders proficient in fire attributes, they immediately unleash physical attacks. It's said that brute strength can counter all techniques; in the face of powerful physical force, the Five Elements Technique doesn't carry much lethality. They have fought with Sky Shadow before and know that this person seems more afraid of physical damage, so when physical attacks are possible, most choose close combat.

Of course, there are also those skilled in Mystic Arts who simultaneously use their techniques, such as Mingfei and Xiao Protector. With their female physiques, they do not excel in Body Techniques. Instead, their innate talents are high, making the power of their techniques greater. Therefore, when they make a move, Mystic Arts are naturally their first choice.

For a while, an overwhelming flurry of attacks flew towards Sky Shadow as if throwing trash. Such an all-encompassing assault would surely overwhelm an ordinary person in less than a second. However, Sky Shadow was not too bothered by this. His aura erupted, but his body remained still, with only the silent currents rippling on his surface indicating something.

Bang!

With a dull thud, an elder's punch finally touched Sky Shadow's skin at this moment... However, it would be more appropriate to say that the punch could only reach this far, unable to penetrate further. Because as the elder attacked, he was also constantly fighting against a repellent force, so by the time the punch landed on Sky Shadow, its impact was already depleted, like a spent arrow.

The elder's palm transmitted an illusion of striking a hard rock. He paused for a brief moment and was then met with an even greater rebound force, sending him tumbling back through the air, flipping countless times.

However, attacking Sky Shadow wasn't the act of that elder alone. Around them, there were other Protectors and hall masters; even inner disciples, seeing everyone act, quickly stretched out the Five Elements Formation, completely confining Sky Shadow at the center.

As the inner disciples' formation took shape, the sky lost its color, replaced by chaotic darkness, and the grand hall where he stood quietly vanished, turning into something resembling a central sacrificial formation.

What... even the attacking elders seemed to vanish instantaneously as the formation enveloped them, leaving only the inner and outer disciples whose figures continuously shifted in the sunless space.

Sky Shadow suddenly felt a sense of alertness. With a slight flicker, a slender hand appeared out of nowhere at the spot he had just been standing, then disappeared into thin air. It was a woman's hand; specifically, Protector Jin's hand.

But how could the strange phenomena around him be explained? "Hmm, what formation…" Sky Shadow carelessly muttered.

"Heaven and Earth Formation, let's see how you escape today." The response was Protector Jin's cold laughter, yet her figure was unseen.

Heaven and Earth Formation? Sky Shadow, a battle-hardened expert well-versed in military tactics, had indeed heard of Heaven and Earth Formations. Moreover, he knew the Eight Trigrams Golden Lock, the One-Character Snake, and the Crane Wing formations, but these were only things he knew roughly. Due to their age and irrelevance to modern battlefields, once useful formations were now mostly suitable for interstellar warfare, like the Fixed Inference Circular Array or the Mobile Breakthrough Fish Scale Array. However, it was his first time seeing the Heaven and Earth Formation.

Still, not having seen it didn't mean he didn't know of it. It was rumored that these so-called Heaven and Earth Formations were merely branches of Mystic Escape Techniques, not difficult to master, as they largely relied on manpower. The Heaven Formation belonged to the sky, formed by the wind; wind being wood, it was a wood-based Five Elements Formation.

The Earth Formation belonged to the earth, taking shape when meeting ground, and was an earth-based Five Elements Technique.

If speaking of High Rank Yin-Yang, Eight Trigrams, and Five Elements Escape Techniques, he might still have some apprehension, like the Dream Butterfly Escape, Control Water Technique, Mysterious Fire Technique, Flashing Time, or Yanhuang Soul's Martial Arts. But how could these trivial little techniques of the Three Doctrines and Nine Schools block him?

"A mere trick."

Sky Shadow disdainfully snorted and followed with a burst of personal power soaring to five million. Under the storming breath, the central disciples were thrown everywhere almost instantly. The shock of this aura was too powerful, and even several elders couldn't resist, their figures retreating repeatedly.

The dark, sunless world returned to its original colors in a flash, with a halo of purple light surrounding the Immortal Mountain's hall, leaving only the stunned gazes of the crowd…

Indeed, rather than saying Sky Shadow broke the formation, it would be more accurate to say that his powerful pressure scattered all who set up the trap, forcibly breaking through.

What does a personal battle power of five million represent? Even elite disciples, elders, or Protectors could hardly resist, especially weaker women like Protector Jin and Protector Mingfei, who were not close to the wood-based Five Elements, finding it even harder to withstand. After all, the fierce wind belonged to wood, and once mastering the control of natural wind through the wood-based Five Elements, power would rise accordingly. But neither Mingfei nor Protector Jin possessed wood attributes, and even the hall master of Azure Dragon Hall, Qingya, found it hard to resist that wind which tore like sharp knives, let alone them.

Whoosh, whoosh...

In the next instant, hundreds of disciples fell, and the only ones able to maintain balance were elite disciples and even the higher-ups of the Jade Clear Sect.

This...

Wu Tian was also shocked by Sky Shadow's move. This was Sky Shadow, who several years ago, had fled when facing many elders and Protectors. How had a few years transformed a person into something so terrifying? It was inexplicable.

"Do you still want more?"

Sky Shadow walked towards Wu Tian step by step, not minding ending anyone who dared to stand in his way.

"What exactly do you want?"

Wu Tian's voice made Sky Shadow stop, but this time Sky Shadow paused only for a moment and didn't answer, silently brushing past Wu Tian...

Wu Tian clenched and unclenched his fists multiple times. If there was even a slight possibility, he wouldn't let Sky Shadow act so rampantly. But, Sky Shadow's strength was such that he could admit there wasn't even a chance of winning, let alone for other disciples.

Once he took action, the remaining disciples surely wouldn't stand by; the situation would become unimaginable.

It could be said Wu Tian wasn't afraid of others coming for him. Whether it was John or anyone else, at worst, there'd be a fight, but Sky Shadow was different. This person had already reached a level where defeating him seemed impossible. In other words, whether to fight or not, the result would be the same.

There is, of course, a difference. If they fought, many disciples would die or be injured, but if not, the disciples' lives could be preserved. Yet he couldn't just watch Sky Shadow take away the two children.

After a brief deliberation, Wu Tian decided to clear the disciples away. He silently waved his hand, ordering the multitude of disciples to disperse, forbidding them from following, including the elders and Protectors. Although they didn't know why the sect leader suddenly did this, nobody dared to disobey their master's command.

Wu Tian, alone, followed Sky Shadow, ensuring he wouldn't just watch a group of innocent disciples lose their lives.

Until Sky Shadow reached the North Mysterious Hall, Wu Tian only then silently appeared in front of him.

"You know you are no match for me."

"No need to say more, let's do it."

Just then, an anxious disciple unexpectedly ran over from somewhere, exclaiming trouble as soon as he saw Wu Tian.

Sky Shadow and Wu Tian turned towards the disciple.

"Sect leader, Feng Luo and Feng Wu..."

"What! How?"

"They disappeared!"

"What? Disappeared!?" Wu Tian immediately turned to Sky Shadow, "Where have you hidden the two children?"

Sky Shadow froze for a moment upon hearing this. What was this about? He had come to find and capture people, not hide them. But from Wu Tian's expression, he could clearly tell his urgency wasn't an act.

"How should I know? I should be the one asking about the children's whereabouts."
