“Is it ready?”

Nearly an hour later, Master Mu stepped forward and asked General Heiyu.

“Almost there.” General Heiyu said, “After a few rehearsals, the brothers should be able to complete the formation.”

“Alright.” Master Mu turned and left.

He then took out a black python as thick as his arm from his sleeve. It was asleep when he took it out, but as he gently stroked it with his left hand, the python’s head suddenly lifted, opening a pair of vertical pupils.

Plop.

Master Mu put the python down, and it immediately burrowed into the ground. With a plop, its entire body disappeared into the soil.

As the python disappeared, Master Mu closed his eyes slightly and felt for a moment. After a while, the python emerged from the ground dozens of feet away.

He then opened his eyes and said, “We can start now.”

General Heiyu immediately waved his hand and shouted, “Brothers! Form up!”

The disciples under the banner of Zhongyi Hall had already studied the formation for a while, and upon hearing the command, they immediately dispersed. They formed the formation according to the positions on the map, with the spot where the black python emerged as the center.

Chu Liang and his companions had quietly chosen three peripheral positions earlier. These positions were higher and had a wide field of view, allowing them to observe the entire field.

Master Mu stood at the center of the formation and shouted, “Begin!”

Boom——

Seventy-two demon cultivators simultaneously activated their true qi, according to the operation method of the formation, began to gather the earth’s evil energy, and stimulated the Yin veins beneath the earth.

Human power has its limits, but the power of heaven and earth is endless.

The core of the formation technique is to use human power as a key to mobilize the infinite power of heaven and earth to achieve things beyond human reach.

Xu Hongqiu, whom Chu Liang had seen before, was a practitioner of the orthodox formation technique. With her fourth realm cultivation, she could change the flow of time in a local area, which was unimaginable in other cultivation methods.

But the formation technique could do it.

Hoo——

But to move a thousand pounds with four ounces, you need a base of four ounces. The role that the demon cultivators were playing at this moment was similar to a lever, using their combined strength to pry the earth’s veins.

Their cultivation was running wildly, and their true qi was gushing out.

The earth’s evil Yin veins, like terrifying waves, turned into a black dragon circling around, and the dark fog was overflowing. In the blink of an eye, the field was shrouded in an endless cold black fog, and the heavy sense of power pressed on everyone.

The power that Master Mu bore was the greatest. As the center of the formation, the final power all converged into his body and then flowed out. His clothes were fluttering, and he began to emit a terrifying pressure, and soon began to tremble.

How could a human body bear such a huge force?

And he was not even bearing this force, but acting as a bridge. In his hand, he held a black half-moon jade plaque, similar in shape to the half-moon missing from the mountain wall.

It must have been made to open this secret realm.

At this moment, it was to infuse power into this jade plaque.

When the formation was more than halfway through, Chu Liang glanced at Luo Yao and Pǔ Shàn, secretly reminding them to be careful.

There was something wrong with this formation.

He had carefully looked at the formation map just now. If it was running normally, it should not consume so much true qi. Was Master Mu, as the center of the formation, deliberately drawing more of their cultivation?

Originally, he thought that no matter what they were going to do, they could just get through it simply, but now it seemed that something was going to change?

Just as he was hesitating whether to remind General Heiyu, he saw Liu Mojie flying over and starting to say something to General Heiyu.

And the operation of the Earth Sha Formation was getting faster and faster.

Something’s not right!

The formation should slow down as it progresses, so that it can stop slowly. If it is still accelerating at this time, the power to be borne at the end will be greater and greater, and it will be impossible to stop!

“Stop!” He shouted, immediately stopping the operation of the Zhou Tian.

Luo Yao and Monk Pǔ Shàn behind him heard his shout and immediately stopped, withdrawing from the formation. But the disciples under the banner of Zhongyi Hall who were nearby and unfamiliar with them naturally did not listen to him.

They hesitated and looked at General Heiyu.

But Master Mu, who was at the center of the formation, also heard this reminder. He immediately concentrated his eyes and withdrew his true qi!

This huge force of the Earth Sha was like a vortex carried by everyone. If the people of Zhongyi Hall stopped first, then he, as the center of the formation, would bear all the backlash; if he stopped first, then it would be the people operating the formation who would receive the backlash.

Just now, as the leader, he had turned the vortex very fast and fierce. At this moment, the formation suddenly stopped and violently rebounded. There was an immediate explosion in the air!

Boom——

In this instant of explosion, countless black qi burst out from the ground, and the huge black dragon shattered in an instant.

Master Mu was prepared and retreated quickly.

But the demon cultivators in the formation had nowhere to hide. They were covered by the exploding Earth Sha Yin veins, and immediately some died and some were injured.Except for Chu Liang and his two companions who had already dodged in mid-air, the rest were either dead or severely injured, their true energy completely drained.

The casualties were heavy in an instant!

…

On the other side, Liu Mojie was talking to General Heiyu. She was all smiles, saying, “General Heiyu, you are young and promising. I made the right choice asking for your help.”

As she spoke, her arm casually moved closer to General Heiyu, lightly brushing against him, hinting at some ambiguity.

However, General Heiyu did not move closer. Instead, he took a step back, creating some distance between them. He laughed and said, “Liu Mojie, there’s no need to be so polite. We’ve had a pleasant cooperation. Let’s continue next time.”

Just as Liu Mojie was about to say something, she heard Chu Liang’s shout from the other side. Her eyes instantly hardened.

“Hmm?” General Heiyu looked over.

In a flash, Liu Mojie shouted and struck out with her palm!

This palm strike, accompanied by a heavy aura of blood, was as fast as lightning! And with such a close distance, it was almost impossible to dodge!

Caught off guard, General Heiyu could only raise the half of his cloak made of black feathers. The black feathers instantly hardened, turning into a thorny armor-like shield, blocking Liu Mojie’s palm strike. With one hit, the half of his cloak made of black feathers shattered!

Liu Mojie had already reached the sixth realm, while General Heiyu was still in the fifth realm, far inferior to her. The higher-level cultivator had launched a sneak attack, it was not easy to block this palm strike.

He felt a sudden explosion in his blood vessels, and a mouthful of blood was blasted out by this palm strike!

The blood control technique of the Red Robe Hall was extremely tricky and vicious!

“I’ve been helping you wholeheartedly, and you actually want to harm me!” General Heiyu, retreating in the face of adversity, shouted in despair while enduring his severe injuries.

“You’re too naive.” Liu Mojie sneered, “Do you know what this secret realm is? It’s the Azure Dragon Secret Realm! How could I possibly leave any survivors with such a secret?”

As she spoke, General Heiyu raised the other half of his cloak made of black feathers, transforming it into a giant wing. He spread it out, intending to escape into the distant sky!

In his desperate situation, he moved incredibly fast. Liu Mojie did not pursue him, and it seemed that he was about to escape.

“Trying to escape?”

A sudden shout came from above.

General Heiyu’s attention was completely focused on Liu Mojie behind him. He was startled by the voice from above and looked up.

He saw ripples in the air, and Master Mu’s figure had somehow appeared above. The sky behind him had turned into a black mirror-like barrier.

A secret formation had been set up here long ago!

This man and woman intended to use him and his men, and then discard them. No wonder Liu Mojie, who was at such a high level, was eager to cooperate with him. It was all for the convenience of killing and silencing them!

With this thought, her request for the Elixir of Eternal Youth was probably just a bait, to make the second invitation seem logical.

Such deep calculations!

He had figured it out, but it was too late.

Master Mu, being a high-ranking formation master in the Demon Sect, was also in the sixth realm, definitely superior to General Heiyu.

Even if all his men were in perfect condition, they might not be able to escape from the combined forces of these two sixth realm cultivators. Let alone now, when he had been caught off guard and had lost his fighting ability.

It seemed that he could only wait for his execution…

Bang—

Master Mu struck down with his palm, and General Heiyu used the other half of his cloak to block it. Still, he was severely injured and shattered, and was brutally knocked to the ground.

“Ah…” He coughed up a mouthful of blood and roared, “Aren’t you afraid of the Master of the White Bone Hall?”

“Hehe, you think too highly of yourself. First of all, the old man of White Bone Mountain would not offend the Red Robe Hall for you.” Liu Mojie still had that charming smile, but it sounded incredibly cold to General Heiyu, “Moreover, after exploring the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, do you think I will return to the Demon Sect?”

She floated over, intending to take General Heiyu’s life and then enter the secret realm with peace of mind.

Suddenly, Master Mu shouted, “You dare, thief!”

…

In the blink of an eye, the situation had changed dramatically.

Thanks to Chu Liang’s early warning, the undercover team of three still had their full combat power. Seeing the situation in the field, Master Mu and Liu Mojie joined forces, and it would be a massacre for the remaining wounded soldiers of the Loyalty Hall.

Chu Liang thought that although he had the support of the Red Slashing Sword, he might only pose some threat to Liu Mojie, who was in the sixth realm, and victory was not guaranteed.

As for Master Mu, the Red Slashing Sword did not respond.

It seemed that although this man was in the Demon Sect, he had not killed many innocent people with his own hands.

On the contrary, those wounded on the ground, including General Heiyu, were all targets of the Red Slashing Sword. It would not be a problem to kill one with each sword strike. If he suddenly turned against his teammates at this moment, could he gain a glimmer of hope?

In a situation where he couldn’t win, the first choice was naturally to escape.

At this moment, Liu Mojie and Master Mu were focusing their attacks on General Heiyu. The three of them flew towards the sky, only to be blocked by the suddenly appearing black mirror barrier.

Luo Yao struck out with her palm, but was repelled.The powerful formation meticulously arranged by the formation master was not so easily broken through.

Chu Liang could use the technique of shrinking the earth to directly pass through this barrier, but his two companions trapped inside could not escape.

He temporarily put aside the idea of escaping alone.

The three of them had already crushed their jade talismans to call for help from their respective sects at the first moment. However, the ancient dragon nest was far away, and even if their elders came quickly, it would take a while.

During this time, they would not be able to withstand the combined attack of two sixth realm experts.

Even if they summoned Old Fei, as an incomplete war spirit, he would not be a match for either of these two.

With his mind racing, all the situations flashed through one by one.

Finally, Chu Liang’s eyes landed on the half-round iron plaque with inscriptions on the mountain wall. Liu Mojie’s half had already been embedded there.

At this moment, Liu Mojie and Master Mu were on the other side, leaving this side empty.

A glint flashed in Chu Liang’s eyes, and he shouted, “Follow me!”

Instead of running out, they fled inward.

His figure flashed!

With a whoosh, he used the shrinking earth technique in urgency, and his figure instantly appeared before the mountain wall. He took out the other half of the inscribed half-round iron plaque and snapped it on.

Boom.

The pair of iron plaques were embedded there, completing the shape, and immediately burst out with a powerful white light! There was a faint dragon chant!

The mountain wall turned into a huge vortex!

Originally, Nan Lu was worried about the risks in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm and wanted to obtain the seventh realm war spirit before exploring. Little did he know that his wait had prepared a bridal outfit for others.

And it was worn by the person who killed him.

Master Mu noticed the anomaly here for the first time. The two sixth realm experts had not expected such a situation at all! They thought they were weak animals trapped in a cage, but who knew they could open this door?

Not to mention the two of them, even Luo Yao and Monk Pǔ Shàn didn’t expect it.

Although they always knew that Chu Liang was extraordinary and could do many things that ordinary people couldn’t… some things still often exceeded their expectations.

Liu Mojie and Master Mu both erupted with their cultivation and rushed over quickly, but it was still a bit late. They saw the three figures flash and disappear into the huge vortex on the mountain wall.

The two looked at each other and shouted in unison, “Chase!

Good morning.
