Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 180: Not Simple

Pang Su and Huang Dapeng both had pale faces. They now understood that Wang Chuan and his companions had been prepared in advance, which allowed them to easily break through the formation and escape.

They were inner sect elders, yet they were completely unaware of this. Obviously, they had been abandoned by the sect.

Pang Su and Huang Dapeng didn't have time to feel angry or frustrated because a group of blood-robed cultivators was charging towards them.

Every one of these blood-robed cultivators had strong spiritual consciousness, clearly all at the Foundation Building stage.

Pang Su and Huang Dapeng exchanged glances and turned to fly towards the Feima Gathering Point.

There were too many of these blood-robed Foundation Building cultivators, a total of seventeen. Even a Gold Core cultivator would have a hard time dealing with such a large group.

Pang Su and Huang Dapeng were experienced, and they knew from the number of opponents that they definitely couldn't win.

There were still many sect cultivators at the Feima Gathering Point, but they definitely couldn't stop a group of blood-robed Foundation Building cultivators.

When there are many people, chaos ensues. In chaos, there is a chance to escape.

Moreover, Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang were on the other side. These two could also distract some of the Foundation Building cultivators.

Gao Xian saw Pang Su and Huang Dapeng's plan. In fact, the four of them working together could definitely fight against the enemy.

Most of these blood-robed Foundation Building cultivators were at the early stage. Perhaps due to their demonic cultivation techniques, their spiritual power was more turbulent.

This proved that although these demonic sect Foundation Building cultivators had strong spiritual power, they lacked precise control over their strength.

As long as someone could slightly distract them, Gao Xian was confident that he could kill all of these demonic sect Foundation Building cultivators.

Under these circumstances, Pang Su and Huang Dapeng definitely couldn't trust him, and the two sides had no basis for cooperation.

On the other hand, there might still be Gold Core cultivators within this formation. This was not the stage for him to show off his skills.

Gao Xian chose a direction opposite to Pang Su and Huang Dapeng, rushing into a pine forest with Zhu Qiniang at high speed.

As long as they didn't touch the formation that sealed off the four directions, they would be fine. The Shadowless Robe at the Grandmaster Perfection stage was enough to conceal their presence.

The spiritual sense range of a Gold Core cultivator was one thousand steps, which Foundation Building cultivators couldn't compare to.

However, the range of the formation covered dozens of miles, which was spacious enough. As long as they didn't run into a Gold Core cultivator head-on, there wouldn't be any problems.

Gao Xian chose the pine forest for a reason. His Flower Discerning Mirror could see the flow of spiritual power and spiritual energy.

Within the vast range of the formation, he couldn't see many changes in spiritual power. But he could confirm that the pine forest was safe.

It was already late spring, and the weather was getting hotter.

The pine trees began to exude resin, and the forest was filled with a strong scent of resin.

Behind a tall and straight pine tree, Gao Xian suddenly stopped. Then he activated the Shadowless Robe to cover Zhu Qiniang as well.

Zhu Qiniang didn't make a sound and silently restrained her aura, sticking close to Gao Xian.

Gao Xian moved with Zhu Qiniang to the other side of the pine forest, stopping by a tall green pine tree that was about a zhang high.

This straight pine tree had a diameter of less than half a chi and sparse branches, so it didn't provide any cover. It was precisely because of this that others wouldn't pay much attention.

At this moment, Zhu Qiniang relaxed. She even gently leaned her head on Gao Xian's shoulder.

If there were no enemies, Gao Xian would actually enjoy this warmth.

Unfortunately, seven of the blood-robed Foundation Building cultivators split off from the group and chased after them into the pine forest.

These seven people are all wearing the same style of crimson robes, which appear to be the standard robes of a sect, with only slight differences in details.

Among the seven, there are both men and women, and their exposed skin on their faces, necks, and hands is adorned with dark tattoos. Their eyes are also all crimson in color.

The aura of power emanating from them is fierce and restless, completely lacking the stability and calmness of Foundation Building cultivators.

Even a naive child could tell that this group of people is definitely not good-hearted.

The bald man leading them has the highest cultivation level, at the late stage of Foundation Building. The spiritual consciousness he emits is also the most violent and ferocious.

The most exaggerated thing about this bald man is that his head is covered in black runes, with only half of his face having normal skin color, making him look extremely ferocious.

The bald man in blood-stained clothes, at this moment, reveals a hint of confusion in his eyes. The enemy's aura has completely disappeared!

The other six Foundation Building cultivators also have a bewildered look on their faces. Their spiritual consciousness repeatedly searches through the pine forest, sensing every tree hole, underground mouse, and ant, but they can't find the man and woman anywhere.

The seven Foundation Building cultivators gather together and communicate through their spiritual consciousness.

Several hundred steps away, Gao Xian is observing these seven Foundation Building cultivators through the Flower Discerning Mirror.

"They are all weaklings who can't withstand a single blow. Only that bald one is a bit more formidable."

Gao Xian silently evaluates and is confident that he can eliminate these few demonic cultivators in a short time.

However, being inside the formation, he doesn't need to take risks.

Gao Xian believes that Yun Taihao must be nearby for this stone-throwing inquiry to make sense.

Otherwise, with so many deaths and the abandonment of four Foundation Building cultivators, is it worth it just to hear a sound?!

Yun Taihao may not have good character, but his intelligence is definitely sufficient. Gao Xian believes that this sect master must have some plan.

For the current plan, the goal is to delay as much as possible and wait for the right opportunity.

In the sky tens of miles away, Yun Taihao looks at the huge golden mirror in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed and his expression gloomy.

The mirror reflects a blood-red giant net that covers the sky and the earth, as well as the embarrassed figures of Pang Su and Huang Dapeng, two Foundation Building cultivators.

As soon as the two rushed into the Feima Assembly, they were blocked by three blood-stained Foundation Building cultivators, preventing their escape.

With ten more blood-stained Foundation Building cultivators coming from behind, Pang Su and Huang Dapeng, despite using all means, are firmly trapped in the middle.

If it weren't for the fact that the group of blood-stained Foundation Building cultivators weren't in a hurry to kill, the two would have died long ago.

Even so, they can't hold on for much longer.

Yun Taihao doesn't care about the life or death of Pang Su and Huang Dapeng. He threw so many people in to observe the changes in the formation, to see who is controlling it.

In such a small Feima Assembly, there are actually more than twenty blood-stained Foundation Building cultivators hidden inside!

"The Blood Slaughter Sect has actually gone all out. The Old Demon Qiansha must be hiding in the formation, and the Mu Zhengfeng of the Seven Slaughter Sect should be there too."

Yun Taihao looks at the white jade pendant in his hand. This Nine Transformation Sun Yang Pendant he borrowed is a spiritual treasure with a spirit inside, and he finds it difficult to fully control it.

Therefore, when he activates it, there is always some stiffness, and it is difficult to fully unleash the power of the spiritual treasure.

If Yun Qiushui were here, it would be great. With him as the master, activating the Sun Yang Mirror would be enough to reflect the center of this formation and find the Gold Core cultivator hidden within.

Yun Taihao is a bit speechless. Such a precious treasure was actually given to a Foundation Building cultivator. Qingyun Sect is truly rich and powerful, making him unable to help but feel envious.

If he had such resources to support him when he was cultivating in his early years, he might have been able to form a third-grade Gold Core and have the hope of becoming a Nascent Soul True Immortal!

Pang Su on the golden mirror is already in a desperate situation. The old man is desperately self-detonating the Red Sun Bead, and a fierce red light erupts.

The blood-stained Foundation Building cultivators around him all retreat in panic. Even so, one unlucky person is pierced through by the red light and turns into black charcoal on the spot...

On the side, Huang Dapeng was also affected and was blasted out dozens of zhang. Before Huang Dapeng could react, dozens of blood lights fell like giant swords, shredding Huang Dapeng to pieces.

This level of magical power caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge and stir. Even a Gold Core cultivator would find it difficult to perceive the subtle changes, but Yun Taihao could see them through the Yang Mirror.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is everywhere, and the foundation of a formation is to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As long as one can perceive the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they can find the changes in the formation.

Yun Taihao is also proficient in formations, and with the assistance of the Yang Mirror, he can find the core of the formation through intense magical power fluctuations, and then find the hidden Gold Core cultivators within.

As for the deaths of a few Foundation Building cultivators and hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators, he didn't consider it worth mentioning.

The consecutive deaths of two Foundation Building cultivators finally triggered changes in the formation, allowing Yun Taihao to find the pattern of the formation.

Yun Taihao had a rough idea of where the two Gold Core cultivators were hiding, but he wasn't completely sure yet.

He was waiting for Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang to die in battle, which should completely lock down the positions of the two Gold Core cultivators.

To his surprise, Zhu Qiniang and Gao Xian had disappeared. The Yang Mirror couldn't capture their traces.

"A treasure that can conceal their traces?"

Yun Taihao furrowed his brows slightly. He had underestimated this young couple.

At this moment, Yun Feiying arrived driving the Xunfeng Cart. She bowed deeply from a distance, "Disciple pays respects to Master."

Yun Taihao nodded slightly, "Feiying, you came at the right time, come here."

He called Yun Feiying over and pointed at the light mirror, saying, "Pang Su and Huang Dapeng are dead, but Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang have disappeared without a trace. You are familiar with these two, do you have any information?"

Yun Feiying looked at the golden mirror and couldn't help but show a surprised expression on her face. She didn't know that her master had such a treasure that could see everything dozens of li away.

She couldn't see Pang Su and Huang Dapeng, only the bloodstains on the ground.

Yun Feiying felt a bit uncomfortable. Although Pang Su and Huang Dapeng had been suppressing her, they were still loyal to the sect.

In the end, they met such a fate, which made her feel sorry.

Yun Feiying said with caution, "Master, I am not familiar with Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang, and I don't know what abilities or magic tools they have."

She paused for a moment and couldn't help but say, "They are so young, and you have said that they have great potential and asked me to befriend them..."

Yun Taihao knew what his disciple wanted to say. He was quite dismissive of her. She was still too young and naive.

After all, she was his disciple, and he still needed to teach her.

He patiently said, "No matter how talented Gao Xian and Zhu Qiniang are, they are still outsiders. They have no connection to the sect, no bloodline ties."

Yun Feiying cautiously said, "Master, I have heard that in the way of controlling people, both grace and power are important, and rewards and punishments should be clear."

A smile suddenly appeared on Yun Taihao's cold and deep face. His disciple was so naive, it was quite interesting.

After following him for so long, Yun Feiying saw her master smile for the first time. She immediately knew that she had said something wrong.

She was very puzzled. What was wrong with what she said?

"There's nothing wrong with what you said, it just depends on the specific situation. When the sect is stable, we should act according to reason and human emotions. Now that the sect is about to be destroyed, if we still think about reason and human emotions, it means we hate ourselves for not dying fast enough."

Yun Taihao said, "Let me ask you, at this critical moment for the sect, will Gao Xian and the others sacrifice themselves for the sect or flee?"

Yun Feiying hesitated. In her opinion, Gao Xian and the others probably wouldn't be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sect.

"Don't you understand?"

Yun Taihao said, "Gao Xian and the others stayed in the sect for their own interests. They stay when it's beneficial and leave when it's not. Since these people are not trustworthy at a life-or-death moment for the sect, we should try to make use of them as much as possible."

He turned and said coldly, "Feiying, this battle is related to the survival of the sect. The death of a few people is nothing."

"At this moment, there is no room for hesitation or soft-heartedness! Even if it increases the slightest chance of victory, their deaths are worth it."

Yun Taihao took out a golden talisman. The talisman was forged entirely of pure gold, covered with countless runes.

"This Qiankun Teleportation Talisman is a high-grade third-tier item worth 500,000 spirit stones."

Yun Taihao said, "Activating the Qiankun Teleportation Talisman is only to invite Master Yun Qingxuan to come."

"I offer an ancient treasure and 50 million spirit stones. Master Yun Qingxuan agreed to help reluctantly, considering our same sect relationship."

Yun Taihao coldly looked at Yun Feiying, "If Qiansha and Muzhengfeng are not within the formation, how can I explain to Master Yun Qingxuan? If we miss this opportunity, how can our sect withstand the alliance of Qisha Sect and Xuesha Sect?"

Yun Feiying was sweating profusely after hearing his words, feeling uneasy and unable to speak.

"As the sect master, I am responsible for our ancestors and the thousands of disciples of the sect. Compared to that, moral righteousness is insignificant."

Yun Taihao activated the Qiankun Teleportation Talisman in his hand. The golden talisman disintegrated into countless tiny golden rays, forming a complex three-dimensional formation in the air.

The intricate and complex formation resonated with a certain place in the distance. Suddenly, the golden rays condensed, and a woman in a green dress stepped out from the rays.

The woman in the green dress had delicate features and fair skin like jade. Her figure was graceful and elegant.

Her green dress was as fresh as tender grass and bamboo, and she stood there quietly, exuding a graceful and watery charm.

However, between her eyebrows, there was a crystal-clear coldness, as if she didn't care about anyone or anything in the world.

Although the woman in the green dress was standing right next to her, Yun Feiying felt as if there were mountains and seas separating them, and she could never reach out to touch this woman.

Yun Taihao solemnly bowed and saluted, "Master Qingxuan."

Yun Qingxuan returned the salute with an elegant and dignified posture, impeccable in every way. However, for some reason, Yun Feiying felt that this woman didn't care about her teacher at all.

It wasn't disrespect, but rather a lack of any emotions. It was like a piece of ice that wouldn't react to anything or anyone.

"Master Qingxuan, Qiansha and Muzhengfeng are inside the formation, but their positions are still uncertain."

Yun Taihao had witnessed Yun Qingxuan's style before, and he also felt uncomfortable. However, she had formed a third-grade Gold Core, which was enough to crush Qiansha and Muzhengfeng, who had been cultivating for hundreds of years, even if she was only in the early stage of the Gold Core.

Regardless of her personality, such power demanded respect.

Yun Taihao proposed, "There are Foundation Building cultivators from our sect inside the formation. One of them has left an imprint on the Yang Fish Crown. When I activate a secret technique, their traces will naturally be revealed..."

His meaning was simple. Once the two's whereabouts were exposed, they would engage in a battle with the Blood Robe cultivators. Yun Qingxuan could also observe the changes in the formation and see where the two Gold Core cultivators were hiding.

Yun Qingxuan's clear and bright eyes turned towards the Yang Mirror. She was very familiar with this spiritual treasure.

As her gaze shifted, she had already seen the two Foundation Building cultivators hidden within the formation. The other party's concealment technique was quite clever, but unfortunately, it couldn't deceive the Yang Mirror.

Yun Qingxuan didn't care about Yun Taihao or the two unfamiliar Foundation Building cultivators. Yun Taihao was the sect master, and how he used his own cultivators was his own business.

At this moment, Yun Qingxuan noticed that the male cultivator looked up and met her gaze.

The male cultivator's starry eyes penetrated the Yang Mirror and entered her eyes.

"He can see me..."

Yun Qingxuan couldn't help but be surprised. She could see that the other party was using the Yang Mirror, and yet, he could still perceive her presence and lock onto her position.

This spell was not simple at all...
