Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 125: Breaking the Formation and Occupying the Mountain
Outside Pingyang Mountain.

Li Ye raised several formation flags in succession and set up another formation outside the mountain protection formation.

Too late and things will change.

Even though Xu Pingyang and Ma Ying had both died at his hands, logically no one in this barren land and mountains could be his match.

After settling Lan Xinyi, Li Ye immediately went to Pingyang Mountain to attack alone.

Without him!

Although all those who besieged him had been eliminated, there were probably other cultivators paying attention to the situation around Changcui Mountain where the large formation had not yet arrived.

With them around, the news will spread quickly.

He had to seize control of this mountain before the news spread too widely and before the people of Pingyang Mountain could react...

This is to prevent any valuable items from being looted by the monks who take advantage of their familiarity!

Although Li Ye's current attainment in formation is only at the lower level of the second level, it is still not enough to break the second level formation with another formation.

However, the person who controlled the formation was just a cultivator with some attainments in formation. At most, he could only fight back with the formation token.

In fact, it is not much better than the formation's own reaction!
It was so rigid and stiff, but Li Ye now had the help of spiritual consciousness, and he had an unprecedented clear vision of the changes in the formation, which naturally gave him the opportunity to try.

"If Xu Pingyang hadn't been suffering from paranoia and even controlled this formation token with blood refining, it would have been useless to me...why would I have gone through so much trouble?"

Li Ye shook his head secretly, but he also knew that this was a common method of asking others to set up an array.

Otherwise, if you don’t understand the formation yourself and don’t have any means of protection, how can you make people feel at ease?
After thinking for a while, Li Ye waved the flag in his hand, and suddenly a magic circle was half embedded in the second-level mountain protection formation, disrupting its operation and revealing some loopholes.

Seeing this change, Li Ye immediately discovered several loopholes in the formation, and then sent out a few more formation flags, which greatly reduced the power of the formation and created a weak channel.

Just as he was about to make another effort and try to take control of this formation.

Suddenly, Luo Feibai walked out of the formation tremblingly, holding the secondary authority token of this formation in his hand.
"We are willing to surrender to Senior Li. Here is the token for this formation. Please show mercy!"

"Now that you believe Xu Pingyang has died at my hands, you dare not resist any longer?"

Li Ye asked with a smile.

"I dare not! I dare not! We are blinded by greed and dare to confront you, Senior... This Pingyang Mountain should belong to you, Senior!"

Luo Feibai spoke quickly, feeling mixed emotions.

As the first person from Pingyang Mountain who came into contact with Li Ye, he could be said to have watched Li Ye improve his cultivation step by step until he reached where he is today.

His cultivation was still stuck at the eighth level of Qi training, struggling against the bottleneck...

But Li Ye made rapid progress. In just four years, he reached the foundation-building stage from the eighth level like him!
This contrast of changes really made him feel sad.

But the reason why he was able to go out and beg for mercy was because he was the one with the best relationship with Li Ye in Pingyang Mountain, so Xie Yushu simply did not let him go to Changcui Mountain.

I didn’t expect that I could save my life because of this!

Well... it seems too early to say this. Whether he and the many cultivators in the mountains behind him live or die depends on Li Ye's attitude.

"The formation is about to break. I know I should be more careful, but now it's too late..."

Li Ye said this lightly, and Luo Baifei's heart immediately sank.

But Li Ye immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed the token from a distance. He took a quick look with his spiritual sense and knew that the token was correct.

Magic power was immediately injected to activate the formation ban. At the same time, the many formation flags that were scattered were slightly adjusted and turned into nodes to be integrated into the formation.

With the help of the token, he immediately brought the formation under his control quickly and truly.

Immediately, the formation changed, the loopholes disappeared, and its power was restored, but at the same time, it was suddenly closed inside and outside.

None of the monks inside can escape!
Seeing all the unmoved and earth-shaking changes in the formation, Luo Feibai, who was blocked outside, was stunned, "This... this..."

He seemed to know what Li Ye wanted to do, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Li Ye pressed the spiritual light and came in front of him, smiling faintly,

"You and I are old friends. No matter what the reason was during the many incidents before, at least you never took advantage of me. I will not kill you..."

"But on Pingyang Mountain, there are many people who have clearly expressed hostility towards me..."

"But I can't keep these people!"

As he spoke, Li Ye strolled leisurely into the formation.

Luo Feibai looked nervous and followed him unconsciously, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

The mountain protection formation of Pingyang Mountain is of fire attribute. According to Li Ye's observation, it should be a second-level formation called the Blazing Flame Formation.

In fact, it is a formation that is more inclined towards attack, and is rarely used as a mountain protection formation. Perhaps it is a choice made to cater to the geographical advantages of this place and the attributes of Xu Pingyang's martial arts.

It is still quite useful nowadays.

"Those who have been hostile to me, who have taken the initiative to embarrass me and take advantage of me, will all receive retribution today... Those who have nothing to do with me should not act rashly. I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and I will ensure your safety."

Li Ye's voice spread throughout the entire Pingyang Mountain, causing many monks to either kneel down and beg for mercy, or flatter and fawn, or stare in fear, or go crazy before death.

There were rays of blazing flames that kept falling, killing the monks one by one on the spot.

Of course, Li Ye is not a murderer.

The only people he actually killed were those he knew had actually taken action. If someone just agreed with Xu Pingyang's attitude and said a few words, he would simply let them go.

By the time he reached the hall on the mountainside and sat in the seat that used to belong to Xu Pingyang, he had only killed dozens of people.

He didn't care about the remaining people, even if there were some that slipped through the net...

What he did today brought fear to the many monks in Pingyang Mountain, which was enough to make them obey obediently.

"From now on, the Red Land and the mountains will be under my control..."

Li Ye looked at the group of monks, including the big cats and the small cats, who had surrendered and announced calmly. Then he looked at Luo Feibai.
"Luo Feibai, you will take over Xie Yushu's duties and handle many matters on my behalf!"

"Ah I?"

Luo Feibai was stunned for a moment, then he bowed excitedly, "I obey your command!"

"That's it for now."

Li Ye nodded and headed towards Xu Pingyang's cave on the top of the mountain.

Only a group of people were left staring at each other in panic and confusion.

In this world where great power belongs to oneself, although strategies and tactics are of some use, more importantly, the realm of mind is what matters.

As the only one who has established his foundation here, Li Ye can be a hands-off boss as long as his cultivation is still higher than theirs.

……

The spiritual light flew, and Li Ye rose all the way up to Xu Pingyang's magnificent and luxurious cave palace.

"This style is really vulgar, let's rebuild it..."

Li Ye showed a bit of disgust, then strode into the room.

Xu Pingyang has occupied this place for many years, but what Li Ye found in his storage bag was far less than expected.

There must be other collections in his cave!
