"Shen Gongbao?"

Upon hearing this name, Xie Hengjiang's expression subtly changed several times.

He didn't expect that at this time, this group of people would still be thinking of targeting Shen Gongbao.

However, as Changmei said, Shen Gongbao is indeed the best candidate to investigate the white mist in front of them.

But when he thought about the conflict between him and Shen Gongbao, he hesitated again.

Half an incense stick later, Xie Hengjiang gritted his teeth and appeared in front of Shen Gongbao's carriage with a storage bag in his hand:

"Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao, Xie Hengjiang requests an audience!"

As Shen Gongbao scanned the storage bag in front of him with his divine sense, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Are all the people from the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas so magnanimous?"

Even if it's just for the sake of this storage bag, I still have to make the trip today.

Following closely behind Xie Hengjiang, Shen Gongbao also slowly walked out of the carriage.

As Shen Gongbao stepped out of the carriage, the surrounding crowd murmured sarcastically:

"As expected of a former disciple of a sage, his enlightenment is beyond our reach. I just wonder if we'll return empty-handed?"

"Returning empty-handed? Are you kidding me? He's a Golden Immortal, how could he possibly return empty-handed!"

"That's right. With a Golden Immortal taking action, how can we compare? He'll definitely succeed in no time. I estimate that he'll break through this mere white mist in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

...

Hearing the sarcastic remarks from those around him, Xie Hengjiang couldn't help but frown slightly.

A bunch of guys who aren't even Golden Immortals, what right do they have to mock Shen Gongbao?

However, Shen Gongbao remained unmoved, as if the people around him were not talking about him at all.

In fact, Shen Gongbao really didn't take these people seriously.

Even Yang Jian's Howling Celestial Dog knows that a dog that bites doesn't bark, but these people are not even as good as the Howling Celestial Dog.

Having acquired the Thunder Whip, Shen Gongbao stepped forward without hesitation, heading straight towards the white mist in front of him.

Upon first seeing the white mist before him, Shen Gongbao felt a vague sense of familiarity.

As Shen Gongbao stepped into the white mist space, he instantly understood what this white mist was.

The white mist before us is the secret Taixu Immortal Locking Formation of the Chan Sect.

Although the Chan Sect is not known for its array formations, it is not surprising that when people reach the level of sages, they can draw inferences from other cases and develop one or two array formations.

The Taixu Immortal Locking Formation was a formation specifically designed by Yuanshi Tianzun for Yu Ding Zhenren. The purpose of designing this formation was to further leverage the advantage of Yu Ding Zhenren's powerful physical body.

The entire Taixu Immortal Locking Formation is based on Kunlun Cold Jade, which is engraved with Jade Clear Cloud Patterns. It draws the Qi of Taixu into mist and suppresses it with Pure Bamboo, making the white mist flow without stopping, forming a perfect whole.

Because the white mist of the void contains no magical power, it cannot be detected by divine sense or divination techniques. Those who enter the formation only feel that the world is vast and they cannot distinguish directions.

Furthermore, because the formation contains the Jade Purity Seal, those who enter the formation gradually lose their magical power. By the time they realize it, it is already difficult for them to use their supernatural abilities. At that time, if a physical powerhouse like Jade Cauldron True Man were to emerge, who would be his opponent?

But how could the secret Taixu Immortal Locking Formation of the Chan Sect be set up here?

It should be noted that due to the special nature of the Taixu Immortal Locking Formation, even within the entire Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable only passed on the Taixu Immortal Locking Formation to the lineage of Jade Cauldron True Man.

Could it be?

Suddenly, Shen Gongbao thought of someone.

That person was Master Changmei, who was also Master Yuding's disciple.

If we were to say who is most likely to set up the Taixu Immortal Locking Formation, the most likely candidate would be Changmei, the disciple of Jade Cauldron True Man.

Thinking back on all of Changmei's previous actions, Shen Gongbao suddenly found it amusing.

Why did Changmei deliberately push himself into the Taixu Immortal Locking Formation?

The Taixu Immortal Locking Formation is not a killing formation in the simple sense; its greatest effect is to trap enemies and provide support.

Is he simply trying to keep himself trapped in the Taixu Immortal Locking Formation?

Or is there some special gift waiting for me in this Taixu Immortal Locking Formation?

"But you might be disappointed."

Shen Gongbao smiled slightly.

The Taixu Immortal Locking Formation is indeed a secret of the Yu Ding lineage. Even Shen Gongbao, the original direct descendant of the sage, was unaware of its arrangement.

In his previous life, Yu Ding had personally set up the Tai Xu Locking Immortal Formation on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods. In order to enable his fellow disciples to cooperate, he specially taught them the control method of the Tai Xu Locking Immortal Formation, in addition to Shen Gongbao's own mastery of formations.

The next moment, the Jade Purity Talisman was drawn on Shen Gongbao's fingertip, and in an instant, the restrictions in the Taixu Immortal Locking Formation were activated.

At the same time, outside the white fog.

Several exclamations suddenly rang out:

"Oh no! The white mist has moved! Shen Gongbao has been sucked into it!"

"He was sucked in? Shen Gongbao is a Golden Immortal, how could he be sucked in by a piece of ordinary white mist?"

"That's not ordinary white mist at all, it's an array!"

"Formation?"

Everyone was stunned.

However, they couldn't think of anything other than an array that could trap a Golden Immortal like Shen Gongbao in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Xie Hengjiang appeared at the edge of the white mist.

The white mist was still the same white mist, but compared to before, it suddenly extended outward by several feet. It was this sudden extension of several feet that completely trapped Shen Gongbao, a Golden Immortal, within it.

For a moment, looking at the white mist in front of him, Xie Hengjiang felt a chill run down his spine.

After taking several steps back, Xie Hengjiang then used his magic to transform into a stream of water to lift himself up.

However, when Xie Hengjiang saw the white mist beneath his feet, he still felt a strange sense of unease.

As far as he could see, the entire area in the direction of Chongcheng was enveloped by a thick white fog, and this fog was continuing to expand in their direction.

Suddenly, he saw a white mist abruptly spread towards him from below.

Remembering Shen Gongbao's example, Xie Hengjiang dared not be negligent and urged the water beneath his feet to quickly retreat in the opposite direction of the white mist.

"What happened?"

"Why did General Crab escape?"

"Even General Crab has escaped, what are we waiting for? If we get sucked into that white mist, how could we possibly survive!"

"Run! Run!"

Exclamations of alarm rang out from the caravan of Sihai Tongbao Pavilion. When Xie Hengjiang rushed back to the caravan, he saw people fleeing in disarray.

"All of you, stop right there! Not one of you is allowed to escape!"

Crab Hengjiang shouted angrily.

However, the cultivators present ignored his shouts.

Let alone Xie Hengjiang, even if Ao Bing and Ao Lan, the two owners of the Four Seas Treasure Pavilion, stood in front of them, they would not risk their lives for the reward from the Four Seas Treasure Pavilion.

As Xie Hengjiang watched the crowd flee, his heart grew colder and colder.

His coldness wasn't due to the people in front of him running away.

Instead, as the surrounding crowd continued to flee, the formation that had been set up around the Sihai Tongbao Pavilion caravan began to fall into disrepair.
