Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Three days later, a complete Ren Water Four Symbols Formation appeared in Zhang Feng's hand.

Four dark blue array flags floated silently in his palm.

Zhang Feng accepted three of them and took out the Xuanwu Flag and placed it separately.

"Brother Zhang, let's go!"

Jin Li sent a telepathic message to Zhang Feng's cave.

As Zhang Feng stepped out of the cave, he saw that Burning Tiger and his group had already assembled.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, come quickly!"

Burning Tiger waved to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng remained silent, nodded slightly to the crowd, and then walked to the back of the group.

In recent days, quite a few cultivators have heard of Zhang Feng's name and want to come and befriend him.

But most of them were turned away by Jin Li.

Jin Li once stated that Zhang Feng was the deputy commander of the Star Palace's guards, working alongside him, the commander of the guards.

To combat evil and heretical forces and to assist righteous cultivators.

Zhang Feng did not refute, as he did not want to associate with too many cultivators, lest unexpected things happen if they turned against each other later.

Zhang Feng scanned the crowd with his divine sense and discovered that in addition to Jin Li and Fen Tianhu, who were both late-stage Core Formation cultivators, there were two other late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

However, both of them appeared rather weak, clearly indicating that they were injured.

The other four were just as weak as the two.

These people should be the cultivators who were defeated by Wen Tianren but survived the attack that the Burning Tiger had gathered.

But Zhang Feng was puzzled. Having been defeated by Wen Tianren and barely survived, shouldn't he have hidden away to recuperate? Why did he dare to come out again?

"Fellow Daoists, that demon Wen Tianren has been relentlessly challenging the Core Formation Island Masters within the sphere of influence of our righteous sects, resulting in heavy casualties among our righteous followers!"

"As the young master of the Wanfa Sect, the number one righteous sect in the Chaotic Star Sea, I will absolutely not tolerate the various acts of this demon."

"Therefore, I have gathered all my righteous comrades, as well as the two guard commanders of the Star Palace."

"Including the Fellow Daoist Li Huo from Li Huo Island, there are a total of twelve Core Formation cultivators."

"Let us all work together to eliminate evil and uphold justice."

Burning Tiger was filled with passion and fear.

There were twelve Core Formation cultivators, several of whom were in the late Core Formation stage.

Such a force is enough to wipe out some medium-sized sects.

The twelve-person formation seems to have a chance against Wen Tianren, who is only at the late stage of Core Formation.

Even Wen Tianren's personal guards wouldn't be stronger than these twelve.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng couldn't help but think to himself that he would definitely turn around and run if he were faced with such a situation.

No wonder the Burning Tiger is so confident.

No wonder these injured people were still willing to continue to fight.

"That's right. Wen Tianren is a heinous criminal. As the commander of the Star Palace Guards, I naturally have the duty to punish evil and promote good."

"Everyone, please join us in upholding the righteous path."

Jin Li seemed to be infected by this and immediately offered her support.

"Good, it should have been done long ago! How can we allow the demonic path to run rampant within the sphere of influence of righteous forces!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Burning Tiger summoned a spirit ship several meters long.

"Follow us on our spirit ship. Fellow Daoist Li Huo has sent word that today is the day that demon dies."

Zhang Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly. This Burning Tiger was quite generous, sending out a warship several meters in size right off the bat.

Everyone boarded the ship.

"disease!"

After everyone boarded the ship, Burning Tiger came to the bow, formed a hand seal, and let out a soft call.

The sails fluttered, and several streams of spiritual energy surged out.

The ship's hull formation was activated simultaneously.

Wow~

The spirit ship suddenly vanished, disappearing into the clouds like a fish.

Zhang Feng's eyes flashed. This ship was quite good; it was fast and could hide, so it must have taken a lot of effort to make.

"Fellow Daoists, Wen Tianren is accompanied by a team of guards. This team of eight cultivators consists of most of them who are in the early or middle stages of Core Formation."

"There is also a group of maids, most of whom are in the late Foundation Establishment stage, so they are not a concern."

"When Wen Tianren is fighting, he usually doesn't allow others to interfere, so the guards keep a certain distance from him."

"I, along with Brother Jin, Fellow Daoist Zhang, and Fellow Daoist Yang, took advantage of the fight between Fellow Daoist Li Huo to set up an array to control Wen Tianren."

"The rest of the fellow Daoists, led by Daoist Li Huo, clipped his wings, and finally joined forces to kill Wen Tianren."

What do you all think?

Burning Tiger spoke to the two late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Clearly, among the dozen or so Core Formation cultivators present, only those in the late Core Formation stage were worthy of his attention.

"Hmm~ Good, Brother Fen is absolutely right."

"Although Fellow Daoist Qing and I are injured, dealing with early and mid-stage Core Formation demons is still a piece of cake."

The Burning Tiger's technique clearly resonated with the injured cultivators.

Zhang Feng sighed softly. It was theoretically feasible for the four of them—two late-stage Core Formation cultivators and two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators—to set up an array to control Wen Tianren and then join forces to kill him.

However, in practice, it is hard to imagine.

Zhang Feng understood that cultivators like Wen Tianren, who had elders at the late Nascent Soul stage, were generally Core Formation cultivators.

They are generally difficult to kill because you might be facing a secret technique cast by a Nascent Soul cultivator behind them.

Unless in a specific place like the underworld.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang and Fellow Daoist Yang, you two will take charge of the formation. Brother Jin and I will distract Wen Tianren from the side."

Burning Tiger turned around and transmitted his voice to Zhang Feng and the others.

The specific tactics were only revealed before the decisive battle to prevent leaks.

This Burning Tiger was also somewhat cautious.

"Uh~ okay, no problem."

Jin Li hesitated for a moment, but still responded.

When it comes to a magical duel, he really doesn't have much confidence.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng frowned slightly, as he had some understanding of Jin Li's skill level.

But it is unknown what Jin Li said to Fen Tianhu and his group.

Zhang Feng's reputation for killing two late-stage Core Formation cultivators seemed to have been completely ignored by the Burning Sky Tiger and his group.

They treated him as an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, and valued Jin Li's combat strength even more.

It must be the intimidating force of the Jinli Star Palace Guard Commander.

However, this is also good; showing weakness to others will actually benefit Zhang Feng.

……

After several hours of flight, a crimson island appeared before them.

Lihuo Island is famous for the red bird that flies away from the island.

The Old Monster of Li Huo is the one who refined this fire, and he has few rivals among those of the same level.

The Crimson Bird Flame is a type of Earth Core Flame, which is very helpful for refining weapons and alchemy.

Therefore, many masters of alchemy and weapon crafting gathered on Lihuo Island.

Commerce was booming, and all four major business alliances had branches here.

Wen Tianren's choice to spar with Li Huo Shangren clearly indicates his ambition to conquer this place.

At the center of Lihuo Island stands a 100-foot-high Flaming Mountain, its interior constantly burning.

Due to the high temperature above the mountaintop, a large amount of water vapor gathered to form a thick layer of clouds.

The spirit ship of the Burning Tiger was hidden inside.

"Brother Fen, where are Fellow Daoist Li Huo and Wen Tianren's group?"

Jin asked aloud.

"Brother Jin, don't be anxious!"

"The two sparring naturally wouldn't take place within the territory of Lihuo Island."

"We will simply wait quietly for Fellow Daoist Li Huo to lure Wen Tianren back."

Burning Tiger's words dispelled Jin Li's doubts.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng unleashed his divine sense to explore the surroundings and take the opportunity to observe the protective formation of Li Huo Island.

The temperature at Flaming Mountain is extremely high, and the temperature of the clouds gathered above it is also not low.

Zhang Feng sensed tiny array runes traveling along the heatwave from the Flaming Mountain into the clouds.

The method of adapting to local conditions and utilizing the potential energy of Lihuo Island itself to construct a hidden protective array is quite ingenious.

The formation connects to the island's terrain, making it exceptionally powerful.

"Fellow Daoist Li Huo, we've been having a pleasant conversation, why are you running away?"

An arrogant voice rang out, and Zhang Feng immediately turned his head to look upon it, sensing it with his divine sense.

A red streak of light flashed past, followed by a purple streak of light.

Two streaks of light approached Lihuo Island at lightning speed, one after the other.
