The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 559 The Formation Displays its Divine Power

Yun Zhongzi's expression changed drastically, and he muttered, "This formation contains innate secrets, and it faintly reveals a life-or-death crisis. It is an ominous sign."

After muttering to himself, Yun Zhongzi had second thoughts.

This guy is known as the 'Immortal of Fortune and Virtue,' which doesn't mean he has the best fortune and virtue.

They are the most cautious and know how to protect themselves.

If there's real danger, they're usually the first to run.

Or they might simply go into seclusion and not come out.

Without disasters or hardships, one naturally becomes the "immortal of good fortune" in the eyes of others.

This statement contains both praise and envy, as well as a hint of sarcasm.

The other members of the Chan Sect also had their expressions change drastically upon hearing his words.

Who is Yun Zhongzi? How could his fellow disciples not know?
Because Yun Zhongzi was good at warding off disasters and misfortunes, his relationship with many second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect was actually not very good.

After all, no one wants to entrust their back to someone who either won't show up when something happens.

Either teammates who simply run away.

The most direct example is when Yun Zhongzi went to Chaoge City and discovered that the nine-tailed fox had transformed into human form and entered the palace to bewitch King Zhou.

He clearly had the ability to secretly kill the Nine-Tailed Fox, but he only gave Bigan a wooden sword.

The wooden sword almost killed Daji, but after King Zhou ordered it to be destroyed, Yun Zhongzi immediately left.

Aside from the fact that King Zhou was ignorant and brought about his own death.

Also because he was worried that he was being targeted by the Emperor.

This self-preservation approach is, of course, the wisest decision an individual could make.

But to his fellow disciples and to those loyal and righteous men, he was utterly irresponsible.

However, Li Jingxiao strongly agreed with Yun Zhongzi's approach.

When it comes to his own life and interests, the well-being of the people and the righteous path of humanity are secondary to Li Jingxiao.

Of course, Li Jingxiao himself could not be a saint, but he greatly admired those who were selfless and devoted to the public good.

No one in the Chan Sect doubted Yun Zhongzi's discernment and caution.

Therefore, as the Antarctic Immortal and the others' expressions changed drastically, their gazes and eyes when looking at Li Jingxiao also became different.

He secretly thought, "This guy's strength and cultivation in the art of formations are actually so formidable?"

Moreover, it seems that Li Jingxiao and Yunxiao only spent a few months together.

Yet, in such a short time, he actually learned the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

They even innovated and created new formations.

Such talent inspires both envy and intense admiration.

However, among the Twelve Golden Immortals, there were not only those who were cunning and scheming.

Some bold and simple-minded people were convinced that no matter how fierce the formation was, Li Jingxiao would not harm anyone's lives.

So before anyone else could speak, Huanglong Zhenren, who was always impulsive yet loyal, shouted loudly.

"Fellow disciples, I will go ahead and scout the way."

After saying that, he transformed into a golden ray of light and went straight into the formation.

Huanglong Zhenren's actions shocked not only the members of the Chan Sect.

Li Jingxiao also frowned slightly.

This guy always tends to think the worst of people, and the more reckless Huanglong Zhenren appears, the more suspicious Li Jingxiao becomes of his motives.

Perhaps this seemingly simple-minded person is actually the one who is cunning and courageous.

Huanglong Zhenren had the lowest cultivation level, only a Golden Immortal.

If you don't show loyalty and a willingness to step up when needed.

Not to mention Yuanshi Tianzun, even his other dozen or so fellow disciples would definitely look down on him more and more.

They even subtly excluded him from everyone's circle.

However, Huanglong Zhenren was indeed very lucky. During the Investiture of the Gods, he was captured several times and almost killed on the battlefield several times.

But in the end, nothing happened to him. Everyone thought that this guy was the luckiest one in the Chan Sect.

Otherwise, how could they always turn misfortune into good fortune and danger into safety?
Of course, during the battle with the Three Immortals, he couldn't escape the fate of having his cultivation level wiped out.

But he was just a Golden Immortal.

Compared to his fellow disciples, who were all at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, he wasn't in as much pain.

Perhaps while rebuilding, he might actually turn misfortune into blessing and break through to the Taiyi Realm.

The fact that Master Huanglong took the initiative to explore the path truly made many of his fellow disciples feel grateful.

Moreover, those who step forward in times of crisis are more likely to earn points in the eyes of others.

And it left a deep impression.

That's why someone as cunning as Li Jingxiao would suspect Huanglong Zhenren's intentions.

Guang Chengzi and the others also stared worriedly at Huanglong Zhenren as he entered the formation.

But no sooner had this guy entered the formation than the three formations suddenly began to emit mist, like waves surging and clouds rolling.

In a short while, Huanglong Zhenren disappeared.

Li Jingxiao smiled, revealing that the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation contained the 'Bewitching Immortal Pill' and the 'Sealing Immortal Technique'.

Of course, the so-called "bewitching immortal pill" and "closing immortal technique" are not actually pills or immortal techniques.

Instead, those who enter the formation will have their minds confused and their five senses and six perceptions sealed off by the formation.

Then comes 'losing the spirit of immortality, extinguishing the soul of immortality, trapping the form of immortality, damaging the energy of immortality, losing the original essence of immortality, and damaging the limbs of immortality'.

To put it bluntly, it can destroy your physical body, as well as your soul and will.

This is the core power of this formation.

Therefore, once someone enters the formation, a chilling wind will blow and a black mist will shroud the sun and moon.

Then you will be trapped by this formation, and your whole body will be like a drunkard who has not yet woken up, in a deep sleep, without any feeling.

That's why Master Huanglong went silent as soon as he entered the formation; he was directly trapped by it.

Only the sound of his breathing told me he was still alive.

The others in the Chan sect were now in a very awkward position.

A fellow apprentice went ahead to lead the way, but they didn't manage to gather any information or useful details.

There wasn't even the slightest commotion, so how could we possibly investigate the true nature of this formation and break it?
In the end, it was Guang Chengzi who looked at Li Jingxiao's expression.

Seeing the corners of his mouth slightly upturned and a smile on his face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I was certain that Junior Brother Huanglong should be alright.

Then his eyes darted around.

He thought to himself, if we can't break the formation this time, then we'll just lose.

And judging from the looks of it, there's a 99% chance of losing.

But we still have to go in and take a look.

So that we won't be unable to break the formation during the next discussion.

That's like losing a round before even starting to "sit down and discuss the principles".

Not only does it look bad, but it also puts us at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

So Guang Chengzi gritted his teeth, stood up, and shouted at the crowd: "It's no use for us to hesitate here any longer."

"Let's go into the formation and take a look. Fellow disciples, please follow me."

After saying that, Guang Chengzi flashed away and took the lead in flying out.

Seeing this, the others could only grit their teeth and follow suit, raising auspicious clouds or golden light.

Streaks of divine light flashed and flew into the great formation.

However, Yang Jian, who was watching from the sidelines, hesitated for a moment.

He looked up at Li Jingxiao, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Uncle-Master, may I also enter the formation to take a look?"
