Chapter 286 Begins Breaking the Formation

Even so, there are only two of us.

Zhang Yunhe simply slashed his sword at the formation: "I refuse to believe we can't break it!"

He drew his sword so fast that the others didn't even have time to react. Only Su Bai quickly cast a protective spiritual shield on himself.

As Zhang Yunhe's sword fell, the others only had time to see the lightning and fire barrier in front of them tremble slightly before a huge lightning and fire dragon appeared, spitting out a mouthful of lightning flames at them.

As the one who launched the attack, Zhang Yunhe absorbed the majority of the impact. By the time Yang Jingjing and the others intervened, they had repelled the Thunderfire Dragon and rescued him. He was already emanating a burnt aroma.

The scene was very quiet for a moment, except for the demons on the Demon Ancestor Continent who smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Zhang Yunhe: “…”

He wiped his face, circulated his internal energy, and cast a cleansing spell on himself, quickly returning to his former elegant and dashing appearance.

Lei Yan seemed to have caused him great harm, but such superficial injuries could be healed in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea for a cultivator in the Heartbeat stage.

Seeing that Zhang Yunhe didn't seem to care about the sound of him swallowing, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and gave the fat golden crow on his shoulder a vicious pinch.

The reason is simple: the sound of swallowing just now was made by Jin Ya!
Lin Zhao transmitted her voice: "Did I starve you or what? You almost killed me."

Jin Ya felt very wronged: "Well, it was baked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so it's no wonder I wanted to eat it."

Some things you don't crave just because you're hungry.

After all, there is an attribute called craving.

Lin Zhao said helplessly, "Behave yourself."

Seeing that there was really no one else to choose from, Lin Zhao stepped forward and said, "I am Lin Zhao, but I am also a level six spirit talisman master."

When Lin Zhao appeared, the others were fine, but Yang Jingjing and the people from the Ancestral Phoenix Continent had strange expressions, especially when they saw that she actually came from the Demon Ancestor Continent's camp, their expressions became even stranger.

The woman who had previously mocked Lin Zhao seized the opportunity to further her argument: "I've long heard that the Phoenix Medicine Sect of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent has chosen a young master who is at the early stage of the Heartbeat Realm. But it's one thing for the young master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect to be at the early stage of the Heartbeat Realm, but to judge a book by its cover is quite another!"

Lin Zhao said calmly, "I chose this camp because I know His Majesty You Su, and joining forces with him might be smoother."

In an unfamiliar environment, why would she choose a bunch of strangers instead of people she knows? Is she crazy?
The woman scoffed and was about to speak when Yang Jingjing slapped her in the face with a gust of wind: "The people of my Ancestral Phoenix Continent can choose whomever they want. What does it have to do with you, a person from the Ancestral Spirit Continent? Feng Xiao, keep your dog on a leash."

The woman's face darkened as Yang Jingjing insulted her, and she looked at Feng Xiao, the representative currently chosen by the Ancestral Spirit Continent.

However, Feng Xiao merely glanced at her, showing no intention of making a decision for her: "Apologize to Young Master Lin Zhao."

The woman's face turned pale.

She reluctantly apologized to Lin Zhao.

Yang Jingjing crossed her arms and gave Feng Xiao a cold look: "You'd better get your bunch of mad dogs under you under control, or I won't mind cleaning up your ranks."

The Five Ancestral Spirit Planes are the most bizarre and chaotic places in the cultivation world, apart from the Five Demon Realms. Ghosts and monsters roam freely there, and Rakshasa are everywhere. It is a paradise of evil and slaughter.

This also means that, apart from not eating humans, they are not fundamentally different from demons and have no moral bottom line.

Feng Xiao wasn't angry; his smile was gentle: "Miss Yang has always been protective of her own. I wonder if you'll still be able to protect the people you want to protect when Ji Wantang ascends the throne."

Hit where it hurt, Yang Jingjing remained unfazed: "I don't know if I can protect my people, but if you dare to bark again, you'll definitely lose your own life." Feng Xiao stopped talking, and Cao Yunxuan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Jingjing, I don't think Brother Feng meant anything by it. Brother Feng, Jingjing is always straightforward and doesn't know how to speak properly, so please don't take it personally."

Yang Jingjing glared at Cao Yunxuan, met his helpless gaze, chuckled, and turned away, no longer wanting to confront Feng Xiao.

After fixing his hair, Zhang Yunhe realized the atmosphere had escalated to the point where the two were about to fight. He quickly beckoned Lin Zhao over to bring the situation back to the main point, lest Yang Jingjing and Feng Xiao start a fight. He dared not try to break up Yang Jingjing's fight.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is truly..."

The phrase "young and promising" was transformed into "as beautiful as a fairy" upon seeing Lin Zhao's appearance.

Lin Zhao walked up to the five people, nodded to Su Bai, and then wrote a level six teleportation talisman in front of them.

Fu Cheng put down her pen and looked at the five people.

Feng Xiao and Su Bai's strength and identities do not require verification of her status as a Level 6 Spirit Talisman Master, but she is different. To gain their trust, she must present her proof.

Yang Jingjing saw the level six teleportation talisman. Her anger subsided a bit, but she still didn't give Lin Zhao a friendly look and directly asked Su Bai, "Now that all three level six spirit talisman masters are here, can we begin?"

Su Bai had been secretly watching Lin Zhao ever since she appeared. When their eyes met, he couldn't help but turn his head away, lower his gaze, and calm himself for a long time before saying, "Okay."

He looked at Feng Xiao and said, "I would like to trouble you two to discuss with me how to break the formation."

Lin Zhao and Feng Xiao met eyes, and for some reason, when Lin Zhao met Feng Xiao's meaningful smile, she felt a chill down her spine.

She had a strange feeling that this person might be the most dangerous of the five.

When Lin Zhao started discussing ways to break the formation with Su Bai, he was shocked to realize that Su Bai's mastery of formations was probably far beyond that of a level six spirit talisman master.

"He's limited by his cultivation level. If his cultivation level were higher, the Demon Ancestor would be the strongest spirit talisman master right now," Granny Honghu concluded.

Lin Zhao asked, "Is he even better than the teacher?"

"I was taught by the Ancestral Phoenix, and the Demon Ancestor's skill is comparable to that of the Ancestral Phoenix."

Lin Zhao's gaze towards Su Bai suddenly became somewhat complicated.

Although she had known for a long time that the other person was no longer the orphan she had taken in, this was the first time she had come to know Su Bai's other identity besides the younger brother she had raised.

"The eye of the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Array is that giant thunder and fire dragon. If we want to break the array, someone has to hold it back. This task will be given to the three over there. The three of us will each be responsible for the spiritual array explosions in three directions."

Feng laughed and said, "Forcibly damaging a high-level formation will cause a backlash from the formation."

“We’re not forcing it, we’re just catalyzing its self-destruction,” Su Bai said. “The reason this formation weakens over time is because it’s not permanent. Eventually, it will run out of energy and dissipate. Of course, if we wait until then, the good things inside will have turned into the myriad spiritual objects here. So we need to follow the formation’s layout and let it self-destruct at each point in advance.”

“This requires absolute familiarity with the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Formation.” Feng Xiao looked at Lin Zhao: “Are you familiar with the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Formation?”

Lin Zhao shook his head: "My current spiritual strength is not enough to deal with this formation."

“Absolute familiarity isn’t necessary; a basic understanding of a particular aspect is sufficient.” Su Bai looked at Lin Zhao: “Sister is a level six alchemist, right?”

Lin Zhao was surprised that Su Bai had seen through another one of his secrets so quickly. He nodded and asked, "Do I still need pills to break the formation?"

"It might be necessary for my sister to refine a protective array pill," Su Bai said.

Upon hearing Su Bai call Lin Zhao "sister" and noticing Su Bai's gaze, Feng Xiao's eyes flickered, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
