Just like there were those who successfully cleared their cultivation ordeal, there were also those who fell to it. While the Phantasmal Space Ordeal was not the most frightening of the various cultivation ordeals, there were still plenty of cultivators who would fall to it each year. Besides, given the monstrous scale of the cultivation ordeal there, even if the young man was zapped to death, Yang shi would only be able to blame his beloved disciple for acting too arrogantly.
Of course, they would also have to make sure to put on a convincing act so as to not give themselves away!
Zhang Wuchen was silent for a moment before softly asking, "What should we do?"
While the First Elder's actions infringed on the values that master teachers embraced, in order to protect the Zhang Clan, there was no other choice.
Zhang Xuan had only been in the Zhang Clan for a day so far, but he had brought great losses to them. If they allowed him to continue acting as he pleased, their entire heritage could very well be wiped cleanly away, and they would soon become a thing of the past.
"Seal his movements and render him incapable of dodging the lightning bolts. Given the current state he's in, he won't be able to withstand the might of the lightning tribulation," the First Elder said coldly.
While Zhang Xuan wielded extraordinary prowess for a cultivator of his level, he was still far too weak to be dealing with such a powerful lightning tribulation. As long as they were to bind his movements and allow the lightning to ravage him, he would surely drop dead soon enough!
"We have to move quickly. If he summons the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast and Inferno Qilin, we'll lose our chance to strike!"
Those two saint beasts were both Saint 9-dan Macrocosm Ascendancy realm experts. Once those two noticed that something was amiss, they would surely cook up a huge commotion. While they would not have any problem suppressing them eventually, such an incident would surely produce doubts in Yang shi's mind.
"I understand!" Zhang Wuchen nodded.
"I want you to operate our clan formation and grant the lightning tribulation greater power. Meanwhile, I'll seal the space around Zhang Xuan so as to prevent him from fleeing!" the First Elder instructed grimly.
Zhang Wuchen shot a sweeping glance at the widespread destruction around him and heaved a deep sigh before slowly nodding his head.
As long as that young man remained alive, their Zhang Clan would not survive this calamity. Instead of waiting for their own doom, they might as well make the first move!
It's been twenty years since our clan has faced such a catastrophe, Zhang Wuchen thought grimly as he flitted toward the central tower of the clan.
Twenty years ago, the wife of their clan head, the Meng Sword Saint, had gone on a rampage and destroyed innumerable buildings, and more than half of the elders had been injured while attempting to subdue her. While the scale was much smaller this time around, and no elders had been harmed yet, there was no question that this incident had brought great shame to the Zhang Clan.
Boom!
Controlling the formation, Zhang Wuchen channeled the surrounding spiritual energy toward the storm clouds, and in just a few moments, the weakening storm clouds abruptly buffed up once more.
What's going on? The charred Zhang Xuan noticed the anomaly with the storm clouds as well, and his eyebrows shot up in astonishment.
It was already difficult enough for him to cope with the lightning tribulation as it was, but why would abruptly buff up at this point once more?
