Chapter 1345: Chapter 1346: Miss, the brakes have failed (2)
Public anger is formidable; the wrath of the common people is always the most potent weapon! This is precisely the awareness that the Aristocratic family lacks!
An Yiqing, meanwhile, subtly leveraged this overlooked point to defeat the Xuanqing Sect and the Shao Brothers.
"But Little Sister Xiao Qing, although you won this time, there are some matters that I, Big Brother, must discuss seriously with you."
Yu Tianyou gently set down the teacup in his hand, gazing at An Yiqing with a deep sigh.
"Xuanqing Sect suffered such a big loss this time; I have some understanding of that old man Long Zaitian. He would never just let it go easily, so you must be careful. Let me tell you what I know about the Xuanqing Sect."
An Yiqing didn’t speak, and she nodded slightly, signaling Yu Tianyou to continue.
"The status of Xuanqing Sect in Jinyin City is similar to that of the Muyun Society in Xuandu City. However, the difference is, Muyun Society is the leader in the martial world of the Xiluo Continent, while Xuanqing Sect might not have such overwhelming power, their hundreds of years of reputation is not for nothing. Both the domestic and foreign martial worlds give Xuanqing Sect some face. Xuanqing Sect’s prestige today is definitely not just due to ordinary recklessness and aggression. Little Sister Xiao Qing, have you heard of the Eighteen Golden Figures Formation?"
An Yiqing nodded; this was the second time she had heard the term "Eighteen Golden Figures Formation" after coming to Jinyin City.
"I’ve heard of it, but I don’t understand it well."
"The Eighteen Golden Figures Formation is slightly similar to the Formation of the Eighteen Bronze Figures of the Buddhist sect, but its power is far greater than the Formation of the Eighteen Bronze Figures. Have you heard of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation?"
An Yiqing nodded, and quickly in her mind, she recalled all the information related to the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.
"Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation" is a battle formation designed for ancient battlefields based on the eight gates’ positions, star constellations, and geographical terrain in "Qimen Dunjia." It is a method for making astrological techniques more convenient through directional techniques of "Qimen Dunjia." Zhuge Liang revised using the methods of "Qimen Dunjia," thus devising the complete "Eight Trigrams Formation."
The eight gates in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation are: Rest Gate, Life Gate, Injury Gate, Blocked Gate, View Gate, Death Gate, Shock Gate, Open Gate.
"What is the relationship between the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and the Eighteen Golden Figures Formation?" An Yiqing asked.
"The Eighteen Golden Figures Formation is a combination modified from the mystical Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and the Formation of the Eighteen Bronze Figures of the Buddhist sect. The reason Xuanqing Sect has survived to this day is because of this formation. The power of the Eighteen Golden Figures Formation in the martial world is unparalleled. It’s said that even Muyun Society couldn’t easily break through this formation. That’s why Xuanqing Sect has stood firm in Jinyin City for so many years."
Yu Tianyou’s explanation left An Yiqing enlightened, realizing that Xuanqing Sect has stood invincible for years due to this reason. The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation is the crystallization of ancient wisdom, with unimaginable power, further combined with the might of the Formation of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, no wonder Xuanqing Sect remains steadfast even today.
"However, has no one managed to break it over the years?"
Yu Tianyou shook his head, then nodded, "It’s not that no one has managed to break it, but those who attempted have died inside. As far as I know, over the years, only one person successfully broke the Eighteen Golden Figures Formation, and then joined under Long Zaitian’s banner, being utilized ever since."
"Is there such a person?" An Yiqing raised her brows lightly; can someone as tyrannical as Long Zaitian subdue such talent?
"Hmph, Long Zaitian doesn’t have that kind of ability!" Yu Tianyou snorted coldly, showing disdain for Long Zaitian, "That person’s name is Chiang Yu, who as a youth was saved by Xuanqing Sect’s Old Sect Leader, who is Long Zaitian’s godfather, so he came to repay the favor."
