Yong Ji was in a great hurry. He knew that his master, Yu Hong, valued Mi Xiaojing highly. If Xiaojing were to die here, he would bear a great responsibility.

The rogue cultivator who was entangling Yong Ji burst into laughter. Yong Ji suddenly shook his spirit sword, which instantly transformed into countless sword lights sweeping across. He himself, however, lunged towards Xiaojing, determined to protect him at all costs.

The rogue cultivator charging at Xiaojing roared, casting several magical techniques. His copper coin sword suddenly transformed into a stream of coins, surging towards Xiaojing.

Xiaojing also cast a magical technique, shouting, “Rise!”

In an instant, the Qingmu Formation expanded, not only trapping the charging rogue cultivator but also enclosing Yong Ji and another rogue cultivator within.

The two rogue cultivators were instantly dumbfounded. Having been in the Cultivation World for so many years, how could they not know that this was a powerful formation? They never expected that a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage would possess such a mobile formation!

The three of them were trapped in the Qingmu Formation, all suppressed by it. Xiaojing took this opportunity to approach Yong Ji and asked, “Can you handle one… no problem, right?”

Yong Ji was overjoyed and replied, “No problem!”

Xiaojing handed over a Cultivating Essence Pill, saying, “First recover a bit, then fight!”

Yong Ji was immediately excited. He had just exhausted a lot of his true essence and was hesitating whether to take a Cultivating Essence Pill. He didn’t expect Xiaojing to directly give him one for recovery. He would never refuse such a good thing. He immediately swallowed the pill and began to recover on the spot.

It must be said that the medicinal power of the Cultivating Essence Pill was excellent. Even a low-grade pill had a noticeable effect. Yong Ji recovered most of his strength in just a few minutes.

During this time, Xiaojing did not use the Qingmu Formation to attack, but only to trap the two men, which saved quite a few spirit stones.

Although the two rogue cultivators were not attacked, they were extremely terrified. Both of them realized that no matter how they struggled, they could not find a way out. In other words, they were trapped in the formation.

A world of green mist surrounded them. Whether they tried to fly upwards, burrow downwards, or break out in any direction, they could not escape the formation. They understood that they had encountered a sophisticated formation!

What was particularly terrifying was that they could no longer see their surroundings. They were originally at the foot of the main peak, but now they didn’t even know where the main peak was. This was the power of the Qingmu Formation. Once activated, even without attacking, it could make people feel desperate.

Yong Ji didn’t delay and said to Xiaojing, “Find one and bring him to me. Keep the other one separate… After I deal with one, I’ll take care of the second one!”

Xiaojing asked, “Do you need my help? I mean, using the formation to attack, not me personally.”

Yong Ji replied, “No need, I alone am enough. These two guys cooperate too well. I can’t beat them together, but if it’s just one, watch how I deal with them!”

Xiaojing laughed and said, “Alright, your turn!” He wanted to save some spirit stones. Since Yong Ji was going to fight, he planned to just watch and started to show off to Wang Weijun.

“Look, I just activated the Qingmu Formation. I didn’t even need to launch an attack. Just by trapping two people, I didn’t have to spend many spirit stones!”

“So, tell me, how many spirit stones did you use?”

“Well… haha, it seems I used a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, but that’s not too bad…”

“A few hundred low-grade spirit stones, isn’t that still spirit stones?”

“Well, it’s not too bad… haha.”

Xiaojing laughed awkwardly, but he felt that spending a few hundred spirit stones to turn the tide for Yong Ji was worth it.

The Qingmu Formation started to operate again, and the man using the copper coin sword was sent in front of Yong Ji. Yong Ji appeared suddenly, which scared the man into a panic.

This man’s strength was actually average. He mainly lacked good magical weapons and techniques. He was able to suppress Yong Ji only by helping each other with his companion. He knew very well that he was no match for Yong Ji in a one-on-one fight.

In just a short while, Yong Ji won. A rogue cultivator fighting a sect cultivator head-on was truly powerless, especially when it came to weapons. Yong Ji had a spirit sword, which made him stronger than most rogue cultivators. Without a weapon of equal power, it was too easy to be at a disadvantage.

With Xiaojing trapping him with the formation on the side, the man was even less of a match for Yong Ji.

After successfully dealing with the two rogue cultivators, Xiaojing finally put away the Qingmu Formation.

Yong Ji asked, “Why are you coming back? This is a battlefield for high-level cultivators. You could easily be affected here. Hurry up and leave the sect. Wait for a while before returning…”

Xiaojing replied, “I can’t escape. There are rogue cultivators everywhere outside…”

Yong Ji couldn’t help but curse, “These bastards, wait until the sect recovers, none of them will be able to escape!”

Sect cultivators have always looked down on rogue cultivators, and rogue cultivators, given the chance, will certainly take advantage of sect cultivators. The relationship between the two is quite interesting.

When a sect cultivator encounters a rogue cultivator, they either ignore them or fight. However, rogue cultivators usually suffer more because they are disorganized.

Moreover, the roles between rogue cultivators and sect cultivators often switch. Rogue cultivators who join a sect are no longer rogue cultivators, and cultivators who leave a sect become rogue cultivators. Their relationship is quite complex.

Xiaojing gradually understood the relationship between the two. Compared to rogue cultivators, he identified more with sect cultivators. Rogue cultivators were too chaotic, with no rules to speak of. At least in the sect, there were some rules to follow. Anything they did would consider the sect’s attitude, while rogue cultivators were reckless, doing whatever they wanted, limited only by their strength.The rogue cultivators who came here were all seeking opportunities. As long as there was something to snatch, they didn’t mind resorting to murder and arson. It couldn’t be said that all rogue cultivators were scoundrels, but the majority of them, due to the lack of restraint, were not good people.

For this reason, the cultivators from the sects also killed rogue cultivators without any scruples.

Yong Ji said, “You hide here, I still have to go to the main peak… They think they have already won, hmph, the outcome is still uncertain!”

Mi Xiaojing said, “I’m going up too!”

Yong Ji said, “It’s too dangerous up there, you should stay here and wait. When the winner is decided, I’ll come to find you!”

Mi Xiaojing didn’t say anything more. For him, if he didn’t go to the main peak, it meant that he had no chance. Since he had come to the main peak, he wouldn’t go back. He had to go to the main peak, what he had in mind was the sect’s treasure vault.

After giving a few more instructions, Yong Ji left and flew upwards.
