The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 562 My Backing is More Extensive and More Powerful
When the members of the Chan Sect heard Guang Chengzi shout, "It's Master Uncle's Flame Banner," they were startled.

Although the Five Banners of the Primordial Elements are not among the supreme treasures of the Primordial Elements, they are still considered top-tier treasures among Primordial Spiritual Treasures.

To a certain extent, in terms of defense alone, it is not much worse than some innate treasures.

Of course, although the difference is not significant, such a small gap can actually make a world of difference.

There's simply no comparison.

At least a sage could easily break through the defense of any one of the Five Primordial Banners.

However, if it is a primordial treasure, even a sage would find it difficult to break.

However, it is said that if the five flags are brought together, they can form the Primordial Five Flags Formation.

It is comparable to the Taiji Diagram in Laozi's hand, the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, and the defensive power of the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus of the Guide Daoist.

It also comes with its own innate Five Elements Grand Array, which is extremely powerful.

When the members of the Chan Sect saw the Flame Light Banner appear here, they quickly realized that Laozi had most likely passed this innate spiritual treasure to Li Jingxiao.

I felt incredibly envious and jealous.

Before everyone could think too much about it, the Flame Banner off the ground flashed with divine light.

Hundreds, even thousands, of talismans radiating a rich aura of immortality suddenly flew out from beneath the ground.

It landed directly on the huge banner of the Flame Light Flag, and was then rolled up by this innate spiritual treasure, flying towards the Golden Light Cave.

It was obvious at a glance that Li Jingxiao, seeing that he had won, used the Flaming Banner to dismantle the great formation.

As for the Haotian Mirror, which was used as the core of the formation, it had already been used when Li Jingxiao played the Heavenly Demon Harp, which awakened Guang Chengzi and the others.

He had already taken it back.

To avoid being seen by the Chan Sect, which would diminish the power of the Haotian Mirror combined with the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

At the very least, it loses its element of surprise.

Li Jingxiao used the Flaming Banner to retrieve more than a thousand talismans from the three Nine-Bend Yellow River Formations.

They deliberately used the Flame Banner as cover to divert the attention of the Chan Sect members from the talismans to the Flame Banner.

If we can make these guys mistakenly believe that the Yellow River Formation of the Three Talents Position uses the Flame Banner that rises off the ground as the formation's core.

That would be fun.

Guang Chengzi and the others, along with Yang Jian and other third-generation disciples, returned to the outside of Jin Guang Cave.

In Li Jingxiao's mind, the notification of +680 million experience points rang again.

Moreover, the gazes directed at Li Jingxiao contained not only admiration, but also fear and envy.

Seeing the Flame Banner fly back to Li Jingxiao's hand automatically, he immediately confirmed that this treasure was indeed a gift from Laozi.

Instead of lending it to him temporarily and then having to return it to Laozi.

Some even speculated that this precious flag might be a gift from Laozi to Li Jingxiao as he returned to his sect.

Or rather, it was Laozi bestowing upon Li Jingxiao a "belated apprenticeship gift".

If that's the case, then the people of the Chan Sect will be even more envious.

Honestly, among the magical treasures bestowed upon his many disciples by the Primordial Celestial Venerable...

In fact, only the Heaven-Turning Seal, the Soul-Losing Bell, and the Yin-Yang Mirror can be considered truly powerful magic weapons.

However, these magical treasures are still somewhat inferior to the Five Primordial Banners.

Among magical artifacts with equal attack and defense capabilities, defensive artifacts are more practical and rarer.

Otherwise, the Flame Light Banner, the Azure Lotus Banner, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, and the Plain Cloud Banner.

It wouldn't be held in the hands of Laozi, Jieyin, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Yaochi Shengmu forever, like a precious treasure.

The members of the Chan Sect were naturally very unwilling to accept defeat this time.

Moreover, his side had a total of fourteen second-generation disciples, who entered the great formation together with the White Crane Boy beside Yuanshi Tianzun.

They were trapped by the formation in a very short time.

They were utterly powerless to fight back. Not only did they lose face terribly, but they also made everyone feel ashamed in front of Li Jingxiao.

Even Yun Zhongzi, who was always good at protecting himself, felt angry and resentful.

The others, all of whom were arrogant and proud, were even more unhappy.

Moreover, the thought that Li Jingxiao would surely set up this grand formation first during the Daoist debate next month, seizing the initiative and undermining their morale was immediately ignited.

Guang Chengzi and the others felt very depressed and worried.

So Guang Chengzi gritted his teeth, thinking that since he had already lost face, he didn't care about losing even more.

He pestered Li Jingxiao, insisting on continuing to discuss formations with him.

Everything he said was related to the "Three Powers Position" Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation that he had set up this time.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes at Guang Chengzi, who had already abandoned all pretense of dignity.

But thinking about it carefully, what if these guys really have no shame?

Unable to find a way to break the formation himself, he went directly to seek advice from Yuanshi Tianzun.

The next time we set up this grand formation, these guys might actually break it.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao still felt somewhat threatened.

After all, Yuanshi Tianzun may appear righteous, but in reality, he is not only extremely protective of his own, but also quite shameless in many ways.

Pretending not to know that the 'Three Talents Position' Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was invented and set up by his nephew, Li Jingxiao.

Then he went to tell his disciples, including Guang Chengzi, about the advantages and disadvantages of the formation, as well as how to break it. Yuanshi Tianzun was truly capable of doing such a thing.

At worst, when Li Jingxiao comes to demand an explanation, he can say that he, as the senior apprentice, did not know that the formation was set up by his junior apprentice.

The blame lies with Guang Chengzi and the others for not explaining things clearly.

Even if Li Jingxiao manages to get compensation, the formation has already been broken, and he will be the one who suffers the biggest loss.

So Li Jingxiao's eyes darted around, and he thought to himself, "You Chan Sect have powerful backers and helpers."

I have one too.

To a certain extent, after finding Laozi, they would then go to Biyou Palace to find Tongtian Jiaozhu.

I imagine this third uncle would be shocked if he knew that the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation had wiped out the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

When they're happy, they'll definitely help themselves out.

At that time, Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu will help conceal the secrets of heaven and cover up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation that has been set up this time.

Even if Yuanshi Tianzun were incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly deduce the true nature of this formation.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao ignored Guang Chengzi completely and simply bowed.

He made an excuse that he needed to return to the Eight Views Palace to serve as a fire-tending boy for Laozi in alchemy.

With a wave of his hand, he wrapped Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and Ao Bing in his arms and took a step forward.

Using the supernatural power of "Shrinking the Earth in the Abyss," one can travel thousands of miles in a single step.

They actually returned directly to the mountain gate outside the Eight Views Palace.

Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and Ao Bing were dumbfounded, filled with envy and admiration.

The three brothers all learned the technique of "Shrinking the Earth in the Abyss," but their results were far inferior to Li Jingxiao's.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao took the three of them with him, and in an instant, they returned from Jinguang Cave to Bajing Palace.

The three of them, including Nezha, understood the implications of this situation.

Therefore, I have the utmost respect for my master, Li Jingxiao.

After giving Nezha and his two brothers a few instructions, Li Jingxiao took another step and appeared directly outside the Bajing Palace.

Lao Jun already knew that Li Jingxiao had returned when he appeared outside the mountain gate with Nezha and the other two.
