Chapter 309 Joke

About two or three days.

In front of the snow barrier.

The sword spirit, which had been motionless and seemed to have been interrupted by something, suddenly started moving again, and turned around and retreated in front of everyone's gaze.

Xiao Ying'er, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the strange scene in front of her with surprise.

This... could it be possible that they actually managed to do it in the time it took to arrange a date?!

"Master...so do we still need to guard it?" The disciple beside him asked hesitantly.

Every previous riot in the Snow Region had caused panic and kept everyone on guard, yet this time it ended so dramatically?

After Xiao Ying'er pondered for a moment, she waved her hand and gave the order.

"Send Elder Zhou here. You will be divided into three groups and take turns guarding. If there are no abnormalities after a week, you will resume your normal guard duty."

"Yes." The leading disciple accepted the order.

As one of the few specially appointed formation-building elders of the Xinglan Sect, Zhou Jin heard that the Law Stone in the Snow Region had been filled and repaired by someone using a formation.

His first reaction was that it was nonsense. Even Hua Linggu was not sure he could do it, but this person who came here out of nowhere succeeded?

After being summoned by the sect leader, he rushed over without stopping.

Arriving at the gate of the Snow Region, a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe saw Xiao Ying'er and quickly stepped forward to speak first.

"Sect Master, how can the core of the Snow Region be repaired casually with a formation? Don't let Hualinggu's reneging on your promise lead you to seek help from all directions and be deceived by some half-baked person who showed up from nowhere!"

Putting aside the intricacies of the laws, how could they be easily filled with formations? Not to mention that if one wanted to set up such a complex formation, how could one person do it?

Xiao Ying'er looked at the person in front of her, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she didn't speak for a while.

Seeing that the Sect Master seemed to be thinking about something, Zhou Jin struck while the iron was hot.

"Master, in my opinion, it is indeed difficult to set up a formation in the Snow Region, but since it concerns the safety of the Snow Region, it is better to fulfill the request of the people from Hualing Valley. This way, at least it will be safe..."

"Elder Zhou," Xiao Ying'er interrupted him slowly.

"I didn't invite you here to listen to your sermons and doubts. Whether this formation is effective or not, you should go with me and see it with your own eyes. It's inconvenient to know everything."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jin felt a little uneasy for no reason. Could it be that this formation really... ?

No, impossible!

Not only had he studied formations for so many years in Hualing Valley, he was later hired as an elder of the Xinglan Formation. He had never seen anyone with such ability to set up such a large formation on his own.

It was estimated that the other party had used some secret method to attract the sword spirit away, creating the illusion of a successful formation to deceive the sect leader.

After he enters the country, he will definitely expose the other party's true identity!

......

Above the icy lake.

"Done."

Luo Diandian clapped his hands and stood up. He looked at the small stone floating in the air again and nodded in satisfaction at the result of his hard work.

The intricately intertwined runes above were emitting a faint halo, drawing out wisps of spiritual energy from beneath the ground. The slow waves of light spread out in all directions like ripples.

When the ripples spread out, the sword spirits scattered at the border were like puppets being pulled by strings, consciously moving towards the inner circle, not daring to step beyond the line.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulders.

"Okay?" A cold voice came out from next to my ear, which sounded pleasant and itchy.

"Hmm..." Luo Diandian was a little stiff, so he could only respond in a mosquito-humming voice.

Lu Wuhui took her hand and asked, "Let's go back then?"

"We still have to wait for the small fire!"

Luo Diandian did not forget that Xiaohuo was still on the road to breakthrough, so if they wanted to go back, they could go back together.

In fact, yesterday, they had already heard a dragon roar that resounded throughout the heaven and earth. It was obvious that Xiaohuo was breaking through to the God Transformation stage.

Originally, Xiaohuo was just one step away from success, but when it came to cultivation, he was more concerned about food, so Luo Diandian followed him. Now, with Lu Wuhui's pressure, he broke through quickly.

Lu Wuhui was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to agree with her.

At this moment, two figures suddenly flew over from the sky.

As soon as Xiao Ying'er and Zhou Jin landed, they looked up and saw the two of them leaning against each other, sticky and overlapping.

Xiao Ying'er: ...

He coughed twice, attracting the attention of the two people.

"Sect Master?" Luo Diandian asked subconsciously.

Xiao Ying'er was a little dissatisfied when she heard Luo Diandian call her that, but now that there were outsiders present, it was understandable to call her that.

"Mr. Lu." Zhou Jin recognized the man behind him at a glance.

Lu Wuhui straightened up, glanced at him, and nodded in response.

"This is Zhou Jin, the formation practitioner of my sect. I brought him here to take a look at the formation." Let's talk privately, and Xiao Ying'er got straight to the point.

On the other side, Lu Wuhui frowned slightly when he heard this.

It went without saying that he was blaming her for questioning him, but Xiao Ying'er didn't show any emotion on her face.

Zhou Jin was also secretly looking at the two people who were leaning on each other.

Seeing that Luo Diandian looked young and was very intimate with Lu Gongfeng, he immediately felt more confident about the matter.

It seems that it's not just a simple deception, there's even the possibility of favoritism! If this gets out... Zhou Jin couldn't help but have some small thoughts.

Luo Diandian naturally noticed the other party's gaze, which contained a not-so-well-hidden contempt, but she was naturally not afraid of any doubts.

She knows better than anyone how each step on the road of inheritance was taken.

It’s just that...the people around him were not very satisfied, and a fierce look appeared in their eyes.

But Xiao Ying'er pretended not to see it and motioned Zhou Jin to come forward.

Luo Diandian patted Lu Wuhui's hand to appease him, and generously made way for him.

"Then please."

After Zhou Jin bowed, he came to the side of the sword stone, put his hand on it, and began to explore.

He had a look of disdain and uncertainty at first, but after his spiritual consciousness entered, he was shocked when he saw the intricate array in front of him, and then slowly began to become serious.

After a long time, the investigation was completed. Zhou Jin's eyes wandered left and right, suppressing the shock in his heart.

This formation is really no joke. It is meticulous and detailed, and perfectly connects with the incomplete rules of Snow Sword Dao. It is not inferior to the original restraining effect on the sword spirit at all.

Even the extraction of spiritual energy from the spiritual veins to nourish the sword spirit and maintain the energy of the snowy area are clearly distinguished!

The formation was blessed with mysterious runes, some of which he had never even seen before and could not understand at all.

But the fact is that the problem that has troubled Xinglan for so many years has now been solved. Then, wouldn’t the resources supplied to Hualing Valley for so many years have become a joke!

No...Zhou Jin suddenly realized something.

"How is it, Elder Zhou?" Xiao Ying'er watched his actions quietly and asked suddenly.

Zhou Jin paused, then came to Xiao Ying'er, lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before saying,

"Master, this formation can play a certain role, but... it is still lacking. To be on the safe side, I think it is better to -"

"Are you the one who invited Hua Linggu?" Xiao Ying'er said lightly.

Zhou Jin bowed even deeper.

"That's right, Sect Master. After all, Hualing Valley is a sect with many years of experience in talisman formations. As a junior, she may not be able to master everything."

Xiao Ying'er suddenly spoke up, "Elder Zhou, how many years have you been in Xinglan since you left Hualing Valley?"

"More than a hundred years."

"For so many years, you've been the one who took charge of the handover with Hualing Valley, right?"

Zhou Jin felt something was wrong when he heard this, but he still said, "It's the Sect Master."

Then Xiao Ying'er was heard to chuckle, her face gloomy.

Given an opportunity, but not knowing how to cherish it.

Her treatment in Xinglan is much better than that in Hualinggu, but she didn't expect that there would be such a traitor!

"In that case, I don't think there's any need to hand over anything to Hualing Valley from now on. Just pack up all the spirit stones and resources you're going to use to set up their formations and hand them over."

"Also, please list all the detailed bills for setting up the formation over the years. If you make a mistake, I'll start to suspect there's some secret between you and Hualinggu."

When Zhou Jin heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue, and his whole body trembled.

Unexpectedly, the sect leader didn’t believe what he said at all!

Or perhaps, the object of the sect leader's suspicion from the beginning to the end was not the formation at all, but - what about him?
