After carefully studying the jade piece, Shi Lan tilted her head and smiled.
Unexpectedly, this woman who understands restrictions is also knowledgeable about array formations. No wonder she has so many array plates in her storage bag, and no wonder she instinctively threw out array plates as soon as she made her move.
After putting down the jade piece, Shi Lan reviewed the research she had obtained from the library, and this time she almost burst out laughing.
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're sleepy; her luck is unparalleled.
Unexpectedly, the jade piece she casually picked up was also an array, and a secret one at that.
Shi Lan once again immersed her soul in the jade tablet.
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally let out a long sigh.
The array recorded in the Jade Tablet Secret Method is not complicated. Considering the casual placement of the jade tablets in the library, Shi Lan felt that perhaps when this sect was prosperous, such a small array was only used by disciples to go out on adventures or to set up cave dwellings. But now, it can be used as a sect to guard a certain forbidden area.
After studying the array left by Zhou Qing and understanding the array plate she left behind, Shi Lan abandoned the idea of killing them one by one and decided to gather all those who harbored ill intentions towards her together and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Having decided on her revenge plan, Shi Lan used the array plate as an array flag and, under the Divine Tree, nested the large array left by the secret technique within it, one ring after another.
Around midnight, Shi Lan finally finished setting up the grand formation. Wiping the fine sweat from her brow, she sat down cross-legged and quietly recovered her depleted true energy.
The sun rose again, and Shi Lan suddenly opened her eyes. It was already the sixth day since she arrived here. Those people must have searched the entire sect by now.
Thinking about this, Shi Lan was also a little puzzled. You Yue was also a first-timer here, so how did he know there was such a tree here?
Shi Lan shook her head, dismissing her doubts. Anyway, he wouldn't tell her if she asked, so why bother asking him?
After confirming once again that the formation was correct, Shi Lan smiled and left happily.
On the smooth, flat plaza, Qi Gang impatiently waved away his junior brother who had come to report, and after another fruitless search, he got up and approached Xu Qing, who was sitting calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are truly composed!"
Xu Qing opened his half-closed eyes and gracefully stood up. "Fellow Daoist Qi, please calm down."
Qi Gang was already in a bad mood, and when he heard this pretentious talk, a surge of anger rushed to his head. "You make it sound so easy."
Xu Qing glanced at him, his expression turning cold. "Fellow Daoist Qi, are you trying to attract the attention of the Sword Sect and the Demon Spirit Sect by speaking so loudly? Have you forgotten that they are independent factions and have not formed an alliance with us?"
Qi Gang's chest heaved violently twice. He took a couple of breaths before barely suppressing his anger and lowering his voice again, "Don't forget that we were all instructed by our superiors that this matter must be resolved here. Otherwise, once we leave here, you and I will both be in deep trouble."
Mentioning this, Xu Qing was also annoyed. He frowned his neatly trimmed eyebrows and said coldly, "I have already released all the disciples of the Immortal Misty Sect, but we still haven't found any trace of Shi Lan."
Qi Gang glanced around and whispered, "No news from the monks either?"
Xu Qing shook his head, "They were only somewhat useful on the first day."
Qi Gang scoffed, "I knew I couldn't count on these guys who only know how to play dead."
Xu Qing frowned and said, "Alright, we're all in the same boat now, why be so harsh?"
Qi Gang snorted coldly, turned around and sat back down on the futon.
In the dense forest, Shi Lan leaped and bounded until she finally found two Ghost Control Sect disciples who were as white as ghosts on a hillside.
Shi Lan didn't stand on ceremony and directly summoned Cai Luan.
The disciples of the Ghost Control Sect had never seen any living creatures here except for people, and were completely unprepared for a sneak attack from behind. As a result, one was killed and the other was injured.
Shi Lan retrieved Cai Luan with a single move.
He strolled over to the Ghost Control Sect disciple who was lying on the ground, and was about to squat down when suddenly a green-faced, fanged corpse appeared in front of him.
Shi Lan was startled and summoned the fire dragon without thinking.
After a flash of light, the corpse disappeared without a trace.
The Ghost Control Sect disciple never expected Shi Lan to be so powerful, burning the ghost corpse he had painstakingly crafted in a single exchange.
Fortunately, he was experienced in fighting, and even with a splitting headache, he immediately slapped his storage bag and pulled out a gleaming white stick.
Shi Lan examined the eerie-looking staff and tentatively asked, "A soul-reaping staff?"
“Exactly,” the disciple staggered to his feet, his fingers gesturing wildly.
The luminous white rod grew larger and larger, ready to unleash a burst of white light at any moment, heading straight for Shi Lan.
Shi Lan had only seen similar magical artifacts when she was hunting spirit beasts, from the disciples of her sect who wanted to rob her. At that time, she heard them say how powerful the Ghost Control Sect was when it used this artifact in conjunction with its own cultivation techniques. Now that she saw it, she couldn't help but be curious.
Seeing that Shi Lan made no move, the disciple couldn't help but show a look of joy in his eyes.
Shi Lan smiled faintly, and with a flick of her wrist, an ancient and worn-out tortoise shell appeared above her head, instantly enveloping her in a faint blue light.
With a loud "bang," the Soul-Seizing Staff struck the tortoise shell heavily. The disciple was overjoyed to have succeeded and quickly made a hand seal to prepare for another attempt.
Hearing the noise, Shi Lan looked up at the motionless tortoise shell and was somewhat disappointed.
The rumors are really exaggerated; that strength is less than that stupid snake.
Having satisfied her curiosity, Shi Lan had no intention of wasting time with him and immediately launched the fire dragon.
The fire dragon roared and charged straight at it. The white Soul-Seizing Staff was like a toothpick in front of the raging fire dragon, turning into ashes without even making a sound.
