Ferocious beasts are attacking from all directions!
They're surrounded!
Escape? Where can you escape to!
"What should we do! You all need to think of something!" A female cultivator from the Jade Maiden Sect was already crying in desperation.
No one answered; only the young faces remained deathly pale.
Feng Sili took a deep breath and softly commanded, "Disciples of Penglai, heed my command!"
"Form ranks!"
"yes!"
Five Penglai disciples, including Feng Sili, stepped forward, formed hand seals, channeled their energy into a shield, and golden light intertwined between their fingers, instantly drawing one intricate rune after another. In the blink of an eye, the array was complete, and the spiritual light shone brightly, converging into a very large spiritual energy shield that enveloped everyone!
At the same time, the giant beast's fangs were within three steps!
Drooling and stinking, the stench was almost unbearable!
Immediately following, countless demonic beasts crashed into the spiritual energy shield!
One second, two seconds, three seconds!
The formation is broken!
The formation backfired! All the Penglai disciples were thrown several meters away!
"Ah—help—"
Screams!
"Fu—"
A single word, weighing as heavily as a thousand pounds, pressed down from the heavens!
In an instant, all the frenzied beasts were slammed to the ground! It was as if an invisible giant mountain had mercilessly crushed their spines! The beasts struggled desperately, emitting extremely unbearable snorts and frenzied roars!
Someone was pinned down by a monster, and before he could even spit out a mouthful of blood, he was sent away by the jade tablet.
Some people stood there dumbfounded, seemingly not understanding what had happened.
Some people had their limbs pinned down and were enduring excruciating pain as they tried to pull their legs out.
Some people saw the gaping maw, so close yet so close, hover and then crash into the ground, and couldn't help but let out a sob of relief.
"Dear senior brothers and sisters, could you please be quiet for a moment?"
Everyone's eyes widened, and they instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Liu Jinghong patted the ashes from the Heavenly Spirit Jade on his hands and jumped down from a nearby tree, clearly having arrived some time ago. A somewhat slender figure emerged from the shadows. He frowned in disgust, seemingly displeased with the stench of blood in the air. He held a jade fan to his mouth and nose, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, exuding a refined and elegant air.
"Senior Brother!" The three poor souls from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion recognized their senior brother.
Liu Jinghong took off her folding fan, shook it, and gestured for them to come behind her.
"It's like this, fellow disciples of Penglai, Sword Pavilion, Jade Maiden Sect, and Joyful Union Sect, please hear me out. Just now, to save you, I activated the Demon-Subduing Array, which I had painstakingly set up using countless spirit stones, and activating the array also wasted eighteen pieces of Heavenly Spirit Jade." Liu Jinghong squatted down, his jade-bone fan snapping shut with a crisp sound. "Shouldn't you all offer something in return? Compensate me for my losses?"
This has already caused a huge uproar outside the secret realm.
If a panoramic shot were taken from top to bottom at this moment, it would be discovered that every spirit stone that Liu Jinghong stepped into the mud was continuously inputting spiritual power into the center. The pale golden array patterns intertwined and converged into a huge array with the lake as the center!
"Liu Jinghong's mastery of formations is terrifyingly profound!"
The disciples who had just been ejected from the secret realm were also bewildered. They had been stationed by the lake for so long and had no idea when Liu Jinghong had set up the formation.
"So, when Young Master Liu stepped on the spirit stones in the mud earlier, he was actually..."
"How can one accurately calculate where the next spirit stone should be placed based on only a limited glimpse visible to the naked eye? And how can one connect all the array points without the slightest deviation to form such a massive demon-subduing array?! It's simply impossible!"
"Perhaps it's just a matter of practice makes perfect."
"Youth is formidable. Youth is formidable." Yue Zheng Chang'an's eyes were full of admiration.
Penglai excels at formations, specifically magic formations. These formations use people as the base and draw spiritual energy as the runes, emphasizing teamwork and adaptability. Their advantage lies in their ability to change formations instantly and respond to any situation. Just like the Thousand Threads they used to defeat Octopus Brother.
The array built on the main peak of Tianji Pavilion uses spiritual stones, spiritual jade and other objects rich in spiritual energy as its base. It emphasizes the precise technique of the array master. The slightest error will result in a huge mistake. Its advantage is its great power, but its disadvantage is that it is expensive.
But Liu Jinghong just happened to have plenty of money.
Thinking about this, I wonder whose heart I've hurt.
Inside the secret realm, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, finally realizing what had happened. The last remaining female cultivator from the Jade Maiden Sect spoke up, her face pale with anger: "Since you had already set up the demon-subduing formation, why didn't you act sooner? You caused my senior sister to be smashed out of the secret realm by the demonic beast!"
"Junior sister, be careful what you say." Liu Jinghong's eyebrows curved, but there was no smile in her eyes. "Firstly, this is a competition, and everyone is a competitor. I have no obligation to save your senior sister."
"Secondly, with my strength, the area that my formation can cover is really limited. If we don't wait for all the demon beasts to enter the formation, even if I make a move, you may not be able to escape unscathed."
"Thirdly, I advise you to show some respect while I still remember manners! Except for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, everyone else, hand over your demon cores! Otherwise, how long this formation can last depends on my mood."
"You!" The Jade Maiden Sect female cultivator's face flushed red with anger, but she couldn't utter another word.
"Why must Young Master Liu bully a woman like this?" Among the sword cultivators, who were always bursting with a sense of justice, someone spoke up in dissatisfaction.
"I didn't know there were sword cultivators who knew how to cherish women," Liu Jinghong teased, his mockery undisguised. "Then how about you pay for this junior sister's demon core? Although all the demon cores you have now belong to me, you can buy them on credit!"
