Chapter 936: The Blood Sea Grand Formation

But when Lin Fan saw a few figures in the void, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"So I was overthinking it. I knew it—this emperor has hidden himself so deeply; how could those retarded supreme beings possibly find me?"

Still, these guys are pretty reckless. This is Pangu the Primordial God's turf, and they dare to act up here. Aren't they afraid of getting beaten to death?

"Master, these seem to be the Bat Clan. What are they doing?" Yang Wantian looked up at the void and asked in confusion.

"None of our business. Someone will handle it," Lin Fan said calmly.

Yang Wantian nodded and then busied himself.

At that moment, the residents of Licheng looked up at the void in terror, not knowing what was happening.

The entire city was enveloped by a blood-red light curtain.

Especially the eerie laughter that echoed through the air, filling them with dread, as if thousands of demons were flitting past their ears.

Now, the four Bat Clan members in the void looked down at the panicked residents of Licheng and burst into wild laughter.

"We are determined to get the bloodlines. We've endured for so long just to break the protective formation of Licheng," said a Bat Clan creature with bloodshot eyes.

"The 'Blood Sea Grand Formation' bestowed by our ancestor is truly powerful. Once we refine all the living beings in Licheng, we can condense holy-grade divine blood, and our strength will become even greater."

The Blood Sea Grand Formation was used to refine living beings and extract the bloodlines within them. The cultivation technique practiced by the Bat Clan was to seize the fruits of others' labor.

Originally, Licheng had a defensive formation set up by a supreme being, but with the Blood Sea Grand Formation granted by their ancestor, these Bat Clan members managed to wear it down.

Now, the living beings of Licheng were like turtles in a jar, ready to be refined at any moment.

Seeing this, countless cultivators in Licheng naturally wouldn't just sit idly by, but the oppressive force descending from the void was violent and filled with a bloody aura that weighed on their hearts.

In the imperial city.

Boom!

Several figures shot up into the sky.

The imperial city's guardians looked grim. "Bat Clan, we of Licheng have never interfered with you. What is the meaning of this?"

These guardians were originally residents of Licheng who had gone out to train. When their cultivation improved, they returned to their hometown, joined the imperial city, and became protectors of the realm, second only to the emperor.

Though they didn't know exactly what was happening, they knew it couldn't be anything good.

Licheng had faced some disturbances before, but those were decades ago, and there had been no activity since. But today's situation made them uneasy.

They didn't know which great power had left the defensive formation of Licheng, but it was immensely effective, capable of blocking all invasions.

Now, however, they found that the protective formation had been destroyed and could no longer be activated.

"Father, those despicable Bat Clan dare to run wild in our Licheng. Let me go up and teach them a lesson," the Crown Prince said angrily.

"Come back. Stay out of this."

The emperor's expression was grave. The situation before him was far from ordinary.

"Hehe, a race without the protection of a supreme being is doomed to die. Your Bat Clan grandfather is cultivating a divine technique and needs your bloodlines—consider it your blessing," one Bat Clan creature shrieked shrilly.

"Reverse the formation."

Boom!

The four Bat Clan creatures suddenly roared, and a mysterious magical power seeped into the formation. In an instant, the blood-red light curtain covering Licheng began to flow like water.

The mysterious, evil runes flickered continuously.

A chilling, terrifying aura burst forth, pressing down on the residents of Licheng like a mountain.

"How dare you!"

The guardians could no longer hold back and struck out immediately. They could already feel the refining power emanating from the formation.

It seemed to be communicating with their bloodlines, trying to pull them out.

Just as the guardians made their move, several blood-red beams suddenly erupted from within the city.

"Hehe, resistance is useless."

The guardians were shocked. They hadn't expected that there were still Bat Clan members hidden in the city.

…

"The experts in the imperial city can't hold out much longer," Lin Fan said, watching the scene in the void like a spectator, along with Yang Wantian and his son.

"Master, these Bat Clan came prepared. Although the guardians are powerful, they seem to be suppressed under this blood-colored formation," Yang Wantian said.

"Yes, this formation heavily suppresses you, directly restraining your bloodline power. I didn't expect the Bat Clan to have such a technique," Lin Fan said.

But what puzzled Lin Fan was why Pangu the Primordial God hadn't shown up.

Wasn't he supposed to protect his sworn brother's people?

Then again, the world was vast, and there were countless cities. How could he watch over them all?

"You ants, stop struggling. Let us take your bloodlines, and we might spare your lives," the Bat Clan members cackled darkly.

To them, Licheng was already in their grasp.

"Father, are you all right?" The Crown Prince quickly shielded his father. He couldn't believe that all the imperial city's guardians were no match for these few Bat Clan members.

Cough, cough!

The emperor coughed up blood, his face pale. He clearly hadn't expected the Bat Clan to be so strong.

Under this formation, they couldn't even unleash half their strength.

Whoosh!

The formation activated.

The ordinary residents of Licheng immediately screamed in agony, feeling as if something vital inside them was about to burst out.

"Right, I'll go find that guy. He can definitely help me," the Crown Prince suddenly realized, then turned and ran off into the distance.

"Where are you going, my son?"

"Father, I'm going to ask that person for help," the Crown Prince said.

"Come back! These are the Bat Clan. If he wanted to help, he would have done so already..." The emperor knew that if the other party was willing, they would have acted by now. The fact that they hadn't probably meant they were wary of the Bat Clan's supreme being.

But the Crown Prince's figure had already disappeared.

"Master, are you going to intervene?" Yang Wantian asked.

Now Lin Fan had no choice but to act. He had thought the imperial city's guardians could handle it, but they were all too weak, without any chance to resist.

After all, Pangu the Primordial God had given him something.

If he didn't step in, Licheng would likely be completely annihilated.

Just as Lin Fan was about to make his move, a figure came running over in delight.

And from another direction, another figure was also running over.

Lin Fan was amused when he saw them.

The Crown Prince and Shang Qingcheng...

It seemed these two weren't stupid; they knew to come find him.

Since that was the case, he might as well let them put on a good show.

But Lin Fan knew that once he acted, it would be time to leave this place.

The Bat Clan's ancestor had a nose sharper than a dog's.
