Chapter 322: Starting the Formation

The situation was deadlocked for a moment.

Everyone was fighting fiercely, only Tao Zi stood behind Yue Qingya with a leisurely look, watching them fight.

Only Yue Qingya knew that she was hiding behind him.

Seeing Yue Qingya gradually losing strength, Tao Zi did not move his eyebrows, but just said: "A quarter of an hour, hold on for another quarter of an hour."

The senior reminded her in her mind, "Your spiritual sense is too powerful for you to fully control, so it's mostly in a 'sleeping' state. That move can certainly force you to unleash your inherent spiritual sense, but the backlash will also be severe. You must be mentally prepared."

She agreed in her heart.

At the same time, the aliens suddenly felt uneasy, but they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they could only become more vigilant.

A quarter of an hour later, Tao Zi transmitted a message: "Retreat."

Yue Qingya immediately stepped back, and an illusory slender hand appeared in front of him out of thin air, with the palm facing the alien.

Wangxu sensed the fluctuating divine consciousness above and blurted out, "Demonic consciousness materialized?!"

The materialization of spiritual consciousness is a method that only cultivators at the out-of-body stage and above can possess. The power varies. Some are merely materializations and have no offensive power, while others can exert power equivalent to the fifth or sixth level of their own spiritual energy.

The alien also knew this. His expression changed drastically and he retreated quickly. No matter what type of manifestation it was, he could not deal with a cultivator in the out-of-body stage.

In a flash, the palm firmly grasped the alien's head. As it tightened, screams spread throughout the valley, and it turned to ashes.

Tao Zi's face was pale beneath his cloak, and a few traces of blood were oozing from his mouth. However, under the gaze of Wang Xu and the others, his voice remained calm: "Everyone, I will take this thing away."

Wang Xu cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Since this item was given to you by the senior, it naturally belongs to you."

Qiu Xuanhuan also holds the same view.

As for the owner of the valley, they all forgot about him.

Tao Zi nodded and left quickly.

They didn't know that at this moment, two more groups of aliens came outside the valley. One group surrounded the valley without any concealment, and the other group entered the valley directly.

This time, the news couldn't be controlled.

The Sword Sect and the Chunqiu Sect were the first to make the decision. Their leaders and masters immediately put pressure on the Minglan Sect to open the valley.

It was because of their request that Xu Qianjia found out what had happened. His face looked extremely ugly, and he immediately sent a message to Old Xu: A large number of alien races appeared outside the valley, return quickly.

Old Xu looked at the news and his expression darkened. He did not obey the order of the young sect leader Xu Qianjia, but instead rushed towards the direction of the alien race.

He didn't get a response for a long time, so he smashed another cup in anger. He was so brave!

"Young Sect Master!" A disciple stumbled over, "The Heavenly Venerable has emerged from confinement! Pass the order that the valley shall not be opened."

No one expected that Qinglan would come out of seclusion specifically for this matter, but Xu Qianjia was actually relieved and immediately issued the order to activate the mountain defense formation.

Now it is a difficult question whether to open the valley or not. Now that the master has stepped forward to take on this task, he feels a lot more relieved no matter what the result is.

Before the Sword Sect disciples arrived, the large formation outside the Strange Beast Valley had already been activated, tightly separating the inside and the outside. Except for cultivators at the Out-of-Body Stage or above, no one else could enter or leave.

Qiu Xin, the eldest sister of Chunqiu Sect who arrived urgently, looked at the aliens in the formation and was so angry that she rushed directly to Minglan Sect, while the other disciples stayed outside the formation.

When she got there, a junior fellow from the Sword Sect was already standing there, arguing with Lan Yongji who had just returned.

The junior fellow asked angrily, "Why are you setting up the mountain defense formation? Are you trying to protect those alien races?"

"If we don't activate the mountain defense formation, what will happen if those aliens escape?" Lan Yongji still had that cold expression, but there was a sneer in his eyes. "Why are you so anxious? Could there be an alien among them that the Sword Sect cares about?"

The junior fellow was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to say that his young master was inside - sneaking into someone else's territory was not something that could be said.

Qiu Xin, however, didn't have so many concerns. She, who always had a bright smile, rarely turned cold and said, "Let your senior brother come out and talk."

Lan Yongji replied with a nonchalant smile, "Am I not qualified to talk to you?"

"It's really not enough."

He was furious and shouted, "Qiu Xinxin!"

She sarcastically said, "We're letting someone who has no right to make decisions come out and perfunctorily deal with us. The dignified Minglan Sect doesn't even have someone who can take the responsibility?"

"Fellow Daoist Qiu is wrong."

Xu Qianjia's voice rang out, and everyone turned to look. He was walking towards them.

Qiu Xin flicked his sleeves and said, "Master Xu, please tell me again in front of me, are we going to withdraw this formation?"

He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, we really can't withdraw from this formation."

Qiu Xin angrily said, "The alien race is a serious matter for the entire continent. If the Minglan Sect won't withdraw and won't let us go in to meet the enemy, they must give a reason."

Facing her rage, Xu Qianjia maintained his gentle demeanor. "Master has sent a message that the aliens that appeared this time are quite powerful. He will have a senior in the Out-of-Body Stage deal with them. I hope you two will be patient. Not even a single alien will escape."

Hearing this, her heart sank. The junior brother from the Sword Sect became more anxious, but could not speak.

At this moment, Lian Qingzhou appeared behind them, smiled delicately and said, "If you two don't believe me, you can stay in the sect temporarily."

The Sword Sect disciple forced a smile and replied vaguely. Qiu Xin turned around and looked at her with an unfriendly look: "Since Junior Sister Lian has sincerely invited me, it would be disrespectful for Qiu to refuse."

Watching their departing backs, Xu Qianjia breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the unknown situation of the Beast Heart Grass and Old Xu who refused to respond, he felt a little bad and could only pray that they were safe.

Arriving in the courtyard, Qiu Xin said coldly, "Let's be frank. What dirty deals have you made with the alien race?"

She kept smiling, "Senior Sister Qiu, you're going too far. Our Minglan Sect is pure and innocent. How could we have anything to do with an alien race?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Xin burst out laughing: "Lian Qingzhou, you are really good at pretending. No wonder I haven't been able to see your true face for all these years."

Lian Qingzhou couldn't deny it, but his words remained official: "Master has already sent several elders to the Wonder Beast Valley. They will definitely not let the aliens escape. Senior Sister Qiu, don't worry."

At the moment, the situation in the Valley of Strange Beasts was not very good. A group of alien races surrounded Tao Zi, and Old Xu was protecting her.

Old Xu whispered, "My fellow Daoist, I don't know why the aliens attacked you, but they are definitely at fault. I will lead them away in a moment, and you flee immediately."

Tao Zi looked at Mr. Xu with mixed feelings and agreed.

Not far away, Yue Qingya and others were killing the enemies frantically, intending to rush over here.

Qiu Xuanhuan took a breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Qingya, what are you crazy about? You're fighting so recklessly that I can't save you."
