With a paper fan in his hand, the Meridian Gate opened wide, transforming Nine Heavens Prison into a soggy quagmire with a lift of his hand.
The quagmire seemed like a voracious mouth of desire, incessantly pulling the guards of Nine Heavens Prison down, devouring their hopes of survival. A Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression expert was swallowed by the quagmire within a few breaths, not even having time to open the Meridian Gate.
An Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression could still struggle a bit, but his attacks only caused mud flowers to splash in the quagmire, raising no great waves.
In the next moment, a colossal mud dragon raised its head from the quagmire, like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, soared high and then disappeared back into the mud.
Along with its disappearance went the guards of Nine Heavens Prison, and Nine Heavens Prison’s walls and the blood-stained cells.
"Ye Wuhuan!"
"Are you rebelling?"
Those Nine Heavens Prison guards rushing from the depths of the prison saw this scene and immediately reacted like cats with their fur standing on end.
Ye Wuhuan laughed aloud toward the sky, saying, "When did I, Ye Wuhuan, ever pledge allegiance to your Dragon Gate? And who are you to question me?"
With a lift of his hand, the Meridian Gate shook!
Instantly, countless swiftly moving mud snakes surged from all directions in the quagmire, lunging at the incoming Nine Heavens Prison reinforcements.
Numerous guards hurried to form a Vein Formation Array, resisting Ye Wuhuan’s attack. Yet, as the Meridian Gate was just forming, Ye Wuhuan’s attack arrived. Mud snakes penetrated their Spirit Bodies like loaches drilling into the mud.
In through the chest, out through the back!
In moments, the quagmire turned crimson with their blood, mixed with swirling mud, gray and red, utterly horrifying. Yet, guards from Nine Heavens Prison continued to arrive relentlessly.
At the same time, in that moment, a burst of golden light shot skyward in Nine Heavens Prison, followed by a thunderous explosion-like boom, bursting open and casting the image of a dragon head in the skies. It suddenly acted like a summoned totem, instantly gathering Dragon Gate members throughout Jianshui City.
Lei Qianshan and Jian Chenxin were no exception!
Nine Heavens Prison was under attack; both knew it was surely someone from Jinzhi Tower sent to rescue.
"Finally came!"
Lei Qianshan leapt up, then soared toward Nine Heavens Prison.
Simultaneously, as Lei Qianshan took off, a hundred golden pillars suddenly shot up into the sky in Jianshui City, like giant columns holding up the heavens.
These pillars stood around Jianshui City, rapidly contracting and encircling a ten-mile radius around Nine Heavens Prison, as countless golden gates emerged simultaneously.
Dragon Gate Lifeless Array!
Activate!
Forged by the previous Dragon Gate Sect Leader over fifty years as the final essence of life from a top-tier Four Vortexes Vortex Divine Artisan!
Those trapped inside the formation, unless they’ve cultivated Dragon Gate Cultivation Technique, Dragon Gate School Vein Skill, or Dragon Gate Spirit Body, would all have their power restricted.
