Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 476 Lingxiao Pavilion's Pre-Battle Preparations and the Movements of the Mysterious Org

Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, and Liu Ruoli, carrying the three keys, traveled day and night back to Lingxiao Pavilion. Along the way, they paid no heed to the scenery, their minds preoccupied with the impending battle. Zhang Peng gazed ahead, his expression grave. He knew that collecting the keys was only the first step; how to use their power to seal the Shadow Clan and how to deal with the black-robed men's obstruction were the enormous challenges facing them.

Back at Lingxiao Pavilion, Zhang Peng immediately summoned the leaders and elders of all the major sects for an emergency meeting in the pavilion's council hall. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and everyone's faces bore expressions of worry and unease. Zhang Peng placed the three keys on the table and recounted in detail their experiences in searching for them, as well as the ancient pact and the Shadow Clan's conspiracy.

"I never imagined that such a huge crisis was hidden behind this," an elderly man with white hair said with a frown.

“Yes, the black-robed man is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. If they succeed, the entire cultivation world will be plunged into utter ruin,” another sect leader chimed in.

Zhang Peng stood up, looking at everyone with a determined gaze: "Now that we have collected all three keys, our next step is to find a way to seal the Shadow Clan while simultaneously preventing attacks from the black-robed men. Does anyone have any ideas?"

Everyone fell into deep thought. After a moment, a young elder stood up and said, "I have seen records of ancient contracts in ancient books. It is said that activating the power of a contract requires a specific location and a specific ritual. However, the ancient book does not mention the specific location or ritual."

Zhang Peng nodded slightly: "This is indeed a crucial issue. We must find this specific location and ritual as soon as possible; otherwise, the power of the key cannot be exerted."

Just then, a disciple rushed in, looking panicked: "It's bad, Senior Zhang Peng! We've discovered traces of the men in black robes! They seem to be heading towards Lingxiao Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly: "They've come at the perfect time. We were just worried about not being able to find them, and they've delivered themselves to our doorstep."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Peng said, "Everyone, don't panic. Let's prepare our defenses first. The Lingxiao Pavilion's magic array can temporarily withstand the black-robed man's attack. We'll use this time to continue searching for a way to activate the contract."

The leaders and elders of the various sects nodded in agreement and quickly returned to their respective sects to organize their disciples to strengthen defenses. Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, and Liu Ruoli went to the Lingxiao Pavilion's library to peruse ancient texts again, hoping to find clues about activating the contract.

Inside the library, mountains of ancient books exuded an aura of antiquity. The three examined each book meticulously, leaving no detail overlooked. Time ticked by, and the sounds of black-robed figures attacking the Lingxiao Pavilion's magic array could be heard outside, but they still hadn't found any useful clues.

"Did we forget something?" Liu Ruoli asked anxiously.

Zhang Peng rubbed his temples; his eyes were bloodshot, clearly showing his exhaustion. But he forced himself to stay awake and continued flipping through the ancient books. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a tattered old book. On its cover was a strange symbol, somewhat similar to the one they had seen earlier while searching for the key.

He carefully opened the ancient book, and a sense of antiquity wafted out. The book contained an ancient legend, which stated that in ancient times, cultivators built an altar on a mysterious mountain to seal away the Shadow Clan. Only by performing a specific ritual at this altar could the power of the contract be activated.

"This is it!" Zhang Peng said excitedly, handing the ancient book to Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli.

After reading it, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli showed expressions of joy. "It seems we need to head to this mysterious mountain as soon as possible," Murong Yu said.

Zhang Peng nodded: "But the black-robed men are attacking Lingxiao Pavilion right now, we can't just leave like this. Let's defeat them first, and then set off."

The three left the library and arrived outside the Lingxiao Pavilion. At this time, the Lingxiao Pavilion's magic array was already on the verge of collapse, and the black-robed figures, led by their leader, were frantically attacking it. Zhang Peng unleashed the "Chaotic Law Shield," protecting the Lingxiao Pavilion members within it, while simultaneously casting "Chaotic Myriad Phenomena Break," the power of the Chaotic Law coalescing into a gigantic chaotic sword, which he slashed towards the black-robed group.

Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," its sword energy crisscrossing as it attacked the man in black robes. Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaos Shield" and simultaneously played the "Sonic Chaos Impact," the sound waves transforming into sharp blades that shot towards the man in black robes.

Under the combined attack of the three, the black-robed man's offensive was temporarily suppressed. However, the black-robed man was numerous and his strength should not be underestimated, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Zhang Peng knew that this couldn't go on; he had to find the black-robed men's weakness as soon as possible and deliver a fatal blow. He concentrated his mind and used the power of the Chaos Law to sense the power fluctuations of the black-robed men. Suddenly, he discovered that the leader of the black-robed men possessed a unique spiritual energy fluctuation, different from the other black-robed men.

"Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, focus your attacks on the leader of the black-robed men! The spiritual energy fluctuations on his body are very special; perhaps that's their weakness!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli immediately changed their attack strategy, focusing all their attacks on the black-robed leader. Under the combined assault of the three, the black-robed leader gradually became unable to withstand the onslaught; the light of his magic grew weaker and weaker, and his defenses began to show weaknesses.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Peng unleashed "Chaos Sovereign's Sanction," a five-colored beam of light carrying a world-destroying force shooting towards the black-robed leader. The black-robed leader watched in terror as the light approached, attempting to dodge, but it was too late. The light struck him with a deafening roar, and the black-robed leader vanished within the light.

With the disappearance of the black-robed leader, the other black-robed figures fled in all directions. Zhang Peng and the others did not give chase; they knew the real danger was yet to come. They had to reach the mysterious mountain as soon as possible to activate the power of the contract and seal the Shadow Clan…
