The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 563 Some things can be done but not said.

After Lao Jun noticed that Li Jingxiao had returned to the mountain, and then saw Li Jingxiao appear outside the palace in a flash, he knew without guessing that Li Jingxiao must have something to ask him.

He said something to the palace guard beside him, and the guard quickly nodded and bowed.

He hurried out of the palace and welcomed Li Jingxiao in.

When Li Jingxiao met Laozi, he bowed but did not stand on ceremony.

He explained in just a few words how he had set up a grand formation and easily trapped all the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

However, he was still mindful of the relationship between Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, so he only said that he had defeated the Chan Sect people using a great formation.

However, it was not mentioned that the members of the Chan Sect fell into a coma as soon as they entered the great formation.

But Laozi wasn't so easily fooled, and he was very curious about what kind of grand formation Li Jingxiao had set up that could make all the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect admit defeat.

Li Jingxiao had no choice but to tell a story that was mostly true and partially false.

Unexpectedly, the old man became interested in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation of the 'Three Talents Position'.

This time, Li Jingxiao didn't hide anything.

The Laozi in front of him preached to him every few days, and he was much more dedicated than the Supreme Laozi in the Journey to the West world.

They are also more responsible.

He even gave me the magical treasure, the Flaming Banner, which was far more generous than Laozi in Journey to the West.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao didn't really care much about a mere improved version of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Moreover, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation cannot harm any saint at all.

Therefore, there was even less need to keep it a secret from Laozi.

Li Jingxiao recounted the story in detail, and after listening, Lao Jun frowned and pondered it carefully.

He quickly stroked his beard and laughed heartily, praising Li Jingxiao several times.

They also highly praised this formation.

They said that this formation could not be broken by anyone but a saint.

Li Jingxiao chuckled, now he had gained the recognition and endorsement of a saint-level being.

Li Jingxiao snapped out of his daze and quickly offered a few words of modesty.

Then, he took the opportunity to imply that he was worried that those guys from the Chan Sect would shamelessly seek help from Yuanshi Tianzun.

What if Yuanshi Tianzun, as his senior uncle, really helps his own disciples break the formation?

Then the deterrent power of this formation will be reduced by more than half.

Before he could finish speaking, Laozi shouted a curse.

“You monkey, instead of meditating and reciting the Yellow Court Classic all day long, you have wild thoughts. You really deserve a beating.”

After saying that, he waved his hand in the air, and a beam of divine light struck Li Jingxiao directly on the back.

The force of the palm strike was immediately neutralized by ninety percent of the power emanating from Li Jingxiao's Bagua Cloud Robe.

Furthermore, Li Jingxiao's mastery of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" meant he was completely immune to half of the physical or magical damage.

But Li Jingxiao was quick-witted. As soon as he heard Laozi say "should be beaten," he understood that the old man was blaming him for trying to guess the thoughts of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

We should not doubt the character of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Even if Yuanshi Tianzun really would help his direct disciples like Guangchengzi, Li Jingxiao, as his nephew, should not slander his fellow disciple.

If Laozi doesn't punish him, Li Jingxiao might suffer at the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun in the future.

Therefore, although Laozi's palm strike from afar had 90% of its force neutralized by the Eight Trigrams Cloud Robe, it was still effective.

Li Jingxiao cried out "Ouch!" and staggered, then quickly cupped his hands and begged for mercy.

He kept shouting "guilty, guilty".

He even blamed himself, saying that he shouldn't have doubted his uncle's character.

Lao Jun nodded with satisfaction, and was extremely pleased with Li Jingxiao's clever performance.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he concealed the secret of Li Jingxiao's arrangement of the "Three Talents Position" Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation outside the Golden Light Cave.

Li Jingxiao chuckled to himself, thinking to himself that this old man was actually quite protective of his own.

While claiming to believe in Yuanshi Tianzun's character, he still helped Li Jingxiao conceal the true nature of the formation. Li Jingxiao thanked Laozi and, after leaving the Eight Trigrams Palace, flew straight to his large house on the cliff outside the palace.

When they saw Yunxiao, Shiji and other women, the three brothers Nezha, Ao Bing and Lei Zhenzi had already entered the mansion.

He was telling Shi Ji and the other women of his master's family what he had seen and heard at Qianyuan Mountain and Jinguang Cave.

When Shiji, Yunxiao, and the others first heard Nezha say that their men were being besieged by fifteen members of the Chan Sect and were in a passive situation,

All seven women wore expressions of anger.

He was cursing the people of the Chan Sect for being shameless, for ganging up on the few with the many.

Moreover, when they couldn't win an argument with their own men, these people from the Chan Sect actually steered the conversation toward unorthodox and heretical doctrines.

It's really too much of a lie.

But when they heard that Li Jingxiao had set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, he not only easily trapped Nezha and his three generations of disciples inside the formation.

They also imprisoned the Antarctic Immortal and fifteen others within the formation.

Moreover, Nezha genuinely considered himself Li Jingxiao's disciple.

He is now considered the third generation of the Taiqing Sect, or even the first disciple of the third generation.

Naturally, they wouldn't care about the reputation of those from the Chan Sect.

So he continued talking to Shi Ji and the others about him, Lei Zhenzi, Ao Bing, and Yang Jian.

Around the Bagua Platform of the Great Formation, the members of the Chan Sect stood motionless like stone statues.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji and the others immediately beamed with joy.

Then Shiji, Daji, and the other women showered Yunxiao with flattery.

They praised the Yellow River Formation as formidable.

He also thanked Yunxiao for wholeheartedly teaching Li Jingxiao such a powerful formation.

Yunxiao was naturally very happy, but he was also very curious and surprised about the "Three Talents Position" and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation mentioned by Nezha.

She thought to herself, how long has her husband been learning this formation from her?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like it's only been a little over three months.

Unexpectedly, in just this short time, Li Jingxiao not only learned the formation.

It's amazing that they can still innovate now.

With the improvements made to the formation, its power should have been greatly enhanced.

Yunxiao himself was extremely familiar with the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

But she wasn't confident that she could wipe out all fifteen members of the Chan Sect with just this formation.

Therefore, Yunxiao truly admired Li Jingxiao from the bottom of her heart.

Yunxiao's true trump card has always been the Hunyuan Golden Bucket.

No matter how powerful the Yellow River Formation is, it is still immovable.

Once the formation is set up, it will not harm anyone unless the enemy tries to break through it.

But if Yunxiao has the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, then it's a different story.

Using this treasure, they captured both the person and their magical artifact, then threw them into the Yellow River Formation.

That is, figuring out how to control the other person.

The most severe punishment, of course, is to kill the enemy outright.

The second option is to reduce the cultivation level of the people inside the formation.

The next method is to confine the person for a short period of time before releasing them.

How to treat the other party is entirely up to Yunxiao.

However, without the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, the power of the Yellow River Formation would immediately decrease by at least 30%.

However, Li Jingxiao did not use the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron to enhance the power of this formation when he set it up this time.

Yet they still managed to trap fifteen members of the Chan Sect with ease.
