The stolen magic is a bit magical

Er Yan'er smiled faintly: "Father, Elder, just because we don't move doesn't mean others won't. If he weren't an array master, he might really be able to roam freely in the Bridge Realm, but he happens to be an array master. Now that this array master has entered the Netherworld, naturally someone will target him! Let's sit back and watch the tigers fight!"

The clan leader and the Grand Elder's eyes lit up...

On the back of the ferocious king, Li Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Before I left, Mother had one thing to say!"

Li Xueyi's heart skipped a beat. As a daughter, she was very sensitive to her mother's instructions. She could roughly guess what kind of instructions her mother would give, and she could think of the bottom of her waistband.

Her mother must have told her to tighten her belt and not to give herself away carelessly.

It's not surprising that my mother gave me such instructions; it would be strange if she didn't.

But can she hear me?
Oh...no...

Is it appropriate to say this publicly?

However, Li Feiyang's next words caught her off guard.

Li Feiyang said, "Mother is right. Brother, when you enter the Netherworld, you need to be especially wary of several array masters."

Li Xueyi was overjoyed: "Which array masters?"

Her joy stemmed from two things: first, her mother hadn't directly presented her with a difficult problem; second, her mother's instructions themselves represented approval, because only by truly approving of him would she genuinely care about his safety.

Li Feiyang mentioned several names...

Wilderness, the formation master of the Wilderness Clan.

Er Wutian, a formation master of the Long-Eared Clan.

Yin Xuan, the Yin Clan's array master...

"The Yin Clan?" Li Xueyi was slightly surprised: "Does my clan also have a grudge against the Yin Clan?"

Li Feiyang said, "The Yin Clan acts primarily based on Yin principles, so why would they need any grudges? These people are all black-blooded; they'll do anything that harms others without benefiting themselves."

"Is there anything else?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"There's one more person you need to be extra careful with," Li Feiyang said. "Li Qing!"

Li Qing!

Upon hearing this name, everyone fell silent.

Li Qing was originally a member of the Li ethnic group. She possessed Li blood, and at a high level—silver blood, representing the second tier of the Li ethnic group, second only to the golden blood of the clan leader's lineage.

She was once a Li ethnic group formation master.

The Li people are known for their bloodlines and for their skill in real battles and warfare. Very few people practice formations, and she is the only one in the past three hundred years.

She is highly skilled in array formations and is a renowned array formation master in the bridge world.

She also brought glory to the Li people.

However, three hundred years ago, the Li people split into two, and she abandoned her own lineage and chose the art lineage—the Ancestral Temple.

From then on, the Li people no longer had array masters.

The green vines she left behind became a place that the Li people both loved and hated.

This name has gradually become a source of pain for the clan.

A smile appeared on Lin Xiaosu's lips: "Don't worry, although I'm quite simple-minded, I'm not stupid either."

"Simple and honest?" Li Feiyang laughed heartily. "Brother, let me tell you the truth. I've doubted your fighting ability, your drinking capacity, and even your talent, but I've never doubted your simplicity and honesty. Because I know very well that with your cunning and scheming nature, the word 'simple and honest' has absolutely nothing to do with it..."

"Brother Feiyang, that's not a good way to put it. Let your sister tell me if I've ever tried to outsmart her?"

Li Feiyang said, "Come on, if you hadn't played some tricks, would my sister have been so easily fooled? Do you think my sister has never seen a handsome man before?"

Li Xueyi was initially enjoying listening to her brother and lover's conversation, but once they started talking, they couldn't stop. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she kicked her brother hard and used the Li tribe's special vibration skill to send a message: I don't object to you talking nonsense, but when it comes to topics involving me, can you please avoid talking about me first?
A strong wind swept across my face.

Flames raged all the way.

The whole thing has been a hot topic of online arguments and debates.

It leads straight to the abyss.

Seven hours passed in the air, and the temperature gradually decreased.

Ahead lay a deep valley. The ferocious king swooped down, tearing through the curtain like a super-sharp blade. Lin Xiaosu suddenly felt as if she had entered a completely different world.

A deep valley, shrouded in mist.

Deep in the valley, there was a huge tree that seemed to stretch endlessly.

The roots of this tree are of unknown origin, and its treetops disappear into the void. If it weren't for the enormous branches swaying across the sky, you might only recognize this tree as a high mountain.

On the right, crimson lava erupts, forming a waterfall that plunges into a bottomless abyss, leaving only a crimson trail in the void.

It was this flowing shadow that brought a glimmer of light to this pitch-black abyss.

Lin Xiaosu rode the Ferocious King across countless mountains and rivers underground, and upon arriving at the Abyss, she was immediately and deeply shocked by its strange appearance.

Eerie, grand, and heroic...

These seemingly unrelated adjectives appear to converge perfectly above this abyss.

With a sidestep, King Phantomhive cleaved through the deep darkness of the abyss and shot towards a huge platform. This platform, suspended above a large tree, looked like a temple in mid-air from afar, but upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a creation of the universe.

The platform is hundreds of feet wide, and there are people, beasts, monsters, and high platforms on it.

Humans, perhaps, are monsters in themselves.

This place is home to people of all kinds from over a hundred different races across the entire Bridge Realm.

There are giants who are several meters tall, infants who are as small as babies, blue-glowing creatures, and spirits who glow white.

There were tribes similar to humans, such as the Li, Litian, Huang, and Chang'er tribes, as well as tribes completely unlike humans, like the Dong and You tribes. Of course, most of them still had some human-like features. Biological verification has shown that species with four limbs, two ears, two eyes, and upright walking are best suited for survival in the biological world. Therefore, through natural selection, many races eventually converged into this commonality. This is how the myriad races of ancient times coexisted.

In fact, the myriad races underground evolved in the same way.

A voice rang out from the high platform: "Infant Clan handover! 500 array crystal pillars, 100 second-realm warriors!"

Lin Xiaosu raised her eyes and stared at the source of the sound.

It's really hard to call someone who makes a sound a person.

At first glance, it only has a big head covered with dense hair.

It has very little hair, an enormous head, but almost no body. If you took it outside and rolled around like that in the dark, everyone who saw it would probably be terrified.

“The Night Clan is in charge of the Netherworld,” Li Xueyi whispered in his ear.

The Night Clan is a race that originated from beneath this abyss. They are extremely strange and powerful. When the various races of the Bridge Realm came to the Nether Abyss, it was reasonable for them to take the lead, as even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

Lin Xiaosu nodded gently.

The Infant Clan began the handover, sending 500 glittering array crystal pillars onto the high platform, with 100 young warriors awaiting their command.

From this angle, they really do look like a group of ants lined up in an orderly queue.

Perhaps this is a visual illusion created by comparison, because behind them happened to be the tallest giants.

The giants were generally over ten feet tall, with some reaching over twenty feet, and the leader was over thirty feet tall.

"The giant race will hand over 800 array crystal pillars and 200 second-realm warriors!"

Jiu'er's voice came: "Miss, look, this is unfair. The giants are about the same number of people as us, and they occupy about the same territory. They have 800 crystal pillars and 200 men, while we have 3000 crystal pillars and 300 men."

"Don't be so angry, we're not giving anything away today!"

Jiu'er said, "That's because we have a son-in-law! Although he's a scoundrel, but..."

"Get out!" Li Xueyi glared at her. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. What do you mean by saying the son-in-law is a piece of trash?"

Lin Xiaosu rubbed her forehead, turned around, and said, "Brother Feiyang, let's go!"

Li Feiyang asked, "Brother, are you ready?"

"Ready? Let's go!"

Li Feiyang and Lin Xiaosu walked out side by side and went straight up to the high platform...

Li Feiyang's blond hair stood out among the group of non-human figures. The Night Clan sphere on the high platform locked onto him at a glance and announced, "Li Clan handover: 3000 array crystal pillars and 300 second-realm warriors!"

His shout caused the entire venue to fall silent for a moment.

Perhaps it's because of this enormous number, or perhaps it's because of the touching name of the Li ethnic group.

Although the Bridge Realm is vast and contains numerous races, information travels very quickly. The explosive news of the Li tribe's annihilation of the Wilderness tribe in a single battle had already spread throughout the Bridge Realm.

People from all ethnic groups reacted with a range of emotions: some were gloating, some were heartbroken, some were worried and afraid, and some were simply enjoying the spectacle. However, they all shared one thing in common: they were all quite shocked.

This is the first time an important figure from the Li ethnic group has appeared in public since the Li people exterminated the Huang tribe. Will this bring anything different?

Something different will come soon.

Li Feiyang stepped onto the high platform and announced loudly, "The Li Clan has no need for resource handover. The Li Clan will send out their formation mages!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the room!

On the highest platform, amidst a clump of black hair, a pair of eyes suddenly opened.

The moment those eyes opened, the entire platform seemed to suddenly transform into an eternal night.

This person is the true leader of the Night Clan, the Supreme Elder Night Ghost, whose cultivation has reached the fourth realm.

On the platform below the high platform, discussions were in full swing...

"Li ethnic group's formation masters? They have them?"

"Nonsense! There was one many years ago, but they didn't recognize the Li ethnic group at all; they recognized the ancestral temple instead."

"Is it because the workload assigned to them was too heavy, and they're planning to renege on their promise?"

"To be honest, it was indeed a bit too heavy. Out of 193 tribes, only their share exceeded 2,000, reaching as high as 3,000. What were they thinking at the time?"

"What else could we think? It was the Wilderness Clan's turn to chair the meeting, so how could we not take this opportunity to give them a good thrashing?"

"Brother, stop talking. That blow was satisfying, but the consequences were extremely serious. The Li tribe launched an attack and wiped out the Huang tribe." Someone whispered a reminder from the side.

"My God, the Li people exterminated the Huang tribe just because they were given a larger share of the levies? This...this level of revenge is incredible!"

Suddenly, the rhythm below changed completely.

Several members of the Wilderness Clan had dark aura flowing across their faces, and their eyes burned with rage.

Li Feiyang turned his gaze to Ye Gui, the leader of the Ye Clan: "Senior Ye, regarding the Netherworld Plan, all clans should contribute manpower and strength. Those with array masters need not contribute resources. This is a consensus among all clans, isn't it?"

"Of course!" Night Demon grinned. "Where are the noble array masters?"

Lin Xiaosu took a step forward: "Me!"

The Night Demon's gaze, sharp as a ghostly candle, fell upon Lin Xiaosu. His face was filled with surprise: "Are you a member of the Li Tian clan?"

"Yes!"

"how old?"

"24!"

"A mere twenty-year-old array master?" (End of Chapter)
