Chapter 195 The atmosphere is solemn
Shangguan Jiannan pondered in his heart, he knew that this was just an introductory work in the world of formations.
But even so, the occasional flashes of red and green light still made him excited.
He took a few steps back, his expression becoming serious.
Suddenly, he shouted loudly, and quickly formed seals with his hands. Green spiritual energy surged out like a tide and poured into the formation.
The formation began to vibrate violently, accompanied by bursts of whistling sounds, as if wind had appeared out of nowhere, making a humming sound, and the entire secret room was filled with this mysterious power.
In the formation, a dazzling red light suddenly shot up into the sky, like the arrival of daylight, instantly illuminating the surroundings. The red flames soared into the sky, reaching several feet high, sweeping away the surrounding darkness, accompanied by crackling sounds of burning.
"This power is really extraordinary!" Shangguan Jiannan was quite knowledgeable about the way of fire, and he couldn't help but marvel inwardly at this moment.
He knew very well that if he were to release a flame of such power on his own, he would probably use up most of his spiritual energy.
Now, with the help of the formation, he can achieve it by consuming only a small amount of spiritual energy, which makes him secretly happy.
It seems that this art of formation is indeed worthy of his in-depth study.
Within the sect, rumors about Shangguan Jiannan and Ji Beishan spread rapidly, as if they had wings.
This time, Shangguan Jiannan became the focus and was evenly matched with Ji Beishan, which was rare in the Tianjian Sect.
His name became popular again after being silent for several months, especially after he started to challenge the elite list. The popularity reached its peak, even overshadowing masters such as Ji Beixuan and Chu Qingxuan, and became a hot topic among everyone.
After a few days of rest, Shangguan Jiannan's body was filled with spiritual energy, and he immediately embarked on the journey to challenge the elite list.
In just a few days, he jumped from ninth place to the top five and won every battle easily.
"Too strong, the battle is over within three moves!" "He is only in the late stage of Sword King realm!" "Who is stronger, Shangguan Jiannan or Ji Beixuan?" The sect's disciples discussed the matter after watching the battle. Some even compared Shangguan Jiannan with Ji Beixuan, the sect's number one master.
With the rise of Shangguan Jiannan, the situation of masters originally controlled by several major families began to shake.
On the fifth day, Shangguan Jiannan made another step forward and was promoted to fourth place; on the seventh day, his ranking continued to rise with an unstoppable momentum.
Shangguan Jiannan made rapid progress and jumped to third place.
Time flies, and his daily progress impresses everyone.
The status of those inner disciples who were once high and mighty is no longer stable. They live in fear every day for fear of being surpassed.
When everyone's attention was focused on the upcoming peak showdown between Shangguan Jiannan and Ji Beixuan, the plot suddenly took a turn and the challenge was not issued, which was surprising.
The atmosphere in the spacious and solemn hall was so solemn that it was suffocating. Shangguan Jiannan sat steadily at the head of the table, his eyes as deep as a pool of water, gleaming with wisdom. The waiters beside him bowed their heads and stood respectfully on both sides, even breathing carefully, as if they were afraid of breaking the tranquility.
Originally, Shangguan Jiannan had made full preparations, with the aura in his body surging like a tiger about to burst out, ready to launch a thrilling challenge to Ji Beixuan. However, at this critical moment, a waiter hurried over with an anxious look on his face, and reported in a low voice: "Yin Wuqing has something important to discuss, and urgently summoned Master Jiannan to come."
This sentence was like a flash of lightning that broke through the night sky, causing Shangguan Jiannan to stop moving. He stood up suddenly, with a flash of surprise and confusion in his eyes. Now, Yin Wuqing suddenly summoned him urgently, there must be a reason, which made him alert.
The moment Shangguan Jiannan heard those words, his heart suddenly sank, and his face involuntarily darkened. The waiter's hasty words hit his heart like a heavy hammer, making him feel an inexplicable palpitation. He frowned, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to see the truth through the waiter's eyes.
Without any hesitation, he flashed away from the solemn hall like a ghost, with an unconcealable anxiety in his eyes.
As he rushed out, a gust of wind seemed to sweep around him, driving the surrounding air flow to surge straight to where Yin Wuqing was.
Shangguan Jiannan muttered to himself: "What kind of urgent matter could make Yin Wuqing lose his composure like this and send someone to find me?" This abnormal situation made him surprised and confused, and his steps became more hurried.
He used the Shadow Escape Technique to its fullest extent. He turned into an almost invisible shadow and shuttled through the whistling wind. In just a few minutes, he was standing at the threshold of another hall.
Without any hesitation, he pushed the door open and strode in.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, a spiritual energy so dense that it was almost solidified rushed towards him, causing Shangguan Jiannan to hold his breath involuntarily.
The dull and depressing atmosphere in the hall gave him an ominous feeling.
His face darkened and he quickened his pace, heading deep into the hall.
Several figures have gathered in the hall, they are surrounded by majestic spiritual energy, forming subtle waves that make the whole space seem heavier.
Shangguan Jiannan glanced over and saw that all of these people were heavyweights in the Tianjian Sect - Sect Master Long Qianshan, Great Elder Mo Tiancheng, Second Elder Yin Wuqing, and several other elders.
Although the number of people is small, this lineup is enough to shock the entire Tianjian Sect.
However, at this moment, a strange atmosphere filled the hall, causing Shangguan Jiannan's face to turn pale instantly.
His eyes were sharp as torches as he carefully looked at everyone present, and a strong shock surged in his heart.
These sect leaders who usually look high and mighty all look extremely solemn at this moment, as if they are facing some unprecedented crisis.
Shangguan Jiannan took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil and prepare to face the upcoming unknown challenges.
He knew that today's trip was destined to be extraordinary.
Shangguan Jiannan stepped into the hall lightly, and an inexplicable chill instantly invaded his whole body. He saw that the eyes of the great elder Mo Tiancheng were as sharp as a cold snake, locking onto him tightly.
Thinking back to how he had taught Mo Tiancheng's grandson a lesson not long ago, this old fox must be harboring resentment.
But Shangguan Jiannan just smiled indifferently and didn't care. After all, Yin Wuqing and others were present, and even though Mo Tiancheng was the great elder, he didn't dare to act rashly.
What's more, although Yin Wuqing is the second elder, his influence and status are far beyond what Mo Tiancheng can achieve.
"Shangguan Jiannan, please take a seat."
Yin Wuqing's voice was low and powerful, breaking the silence around him.
After his brief greeting, his brows were still furrowed and his expression was solemn, as if indicating that the matter about to be discussed was of great importance.
Shangguan Jiannan's heart trembled, his expression became serious, and he slowly sat down.
He secretly wondered if this sudden solemn atmosphere was related to Guo Cheng's matter? Looking around, everyone's faces were filled with confusion and uneasiness, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
At this moment, several figures quickly rushed into the hall. They were all high-ranking figures of the Tianjian Sect, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
