177: River City Crisis

At the valley entrance, the formation was still there, and the white mist had not dispersed.

Zhou Luo remembered the group of people who were previously trapped in the formation and decided to see if they were dead or alive.

Walking into the mist, he took out his array disc and began calculating the route.

This formation was not comparable to the formation Lu Chou had set up; even he had to be careful and cautious.

In a certain area of the formation, the big man who had been holding a large saber earlier was leaning against a large tree, panting. Four or five corpses lay sprawled in front of him.

The Cultivator team, which originally had eight people, now only had him left.

Just then, the mist surged, and the big man became alert as if facing a formidable enemy. He grabbed the large saber beside him and looked ahead vigilantly.

The next second, Zhou Luo, holding the array disc, walked out from it.

Seeing the person who arrived, the big man's face lit up with joy.

He quickly got up, ignoring his injuries, and shouted, "Take me out! I can give you all these things."

Zhou Luo glanced at the corpses on the ground.

It seemed that after finding a safe area, these guys had fought again for the storage bags.

He didn't expect the final winner to be the big man in front of him.

He said calmly, "If I kill you, these things will also be mine."

Hearing this, the big man's face changed drastically. His eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he said sternly, "Just you? I think you should still take me out. I can promise to give you everything in all the storage bags."

"The last ones who made a promise were those two guys from the Lu Family," Zhou Luo said indifferently.

Hearing this, the big man's expression changed. Suddenly, he exerted force with his feet and charged over fiercely. The large saber in his hand was instantly enveloped in a bloody spiritual light.

"Then you're just courting death," he roared.

Zhou Luo didn't care at all.

The big man in front of him was merely at the end of his strength. He retreated backward into the mist, disappearing before the other party.

The big man immediately stopped his movement.

He dared not leave this area.

Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun!

Just then, Zhou Luo charged out from the side again, and a golden great sun descended with a crash.

The big man quickly raised his saber to block. Bloody spiritual light shot out in all directions, barely blocking the opponent's attack.

But Zhou Luo disappeared again.

Playing inside a formation with an Array Master, even if the opponent was at Qi Training Level Seven, was not enough.

Next, Zhou Luo was like a ghost, attacking from various places within the mist, catching the big man off guard every time.

The frustrated big man used all his tricks but was helpless.

Coupled with the fact that he was already severely injured, he could only die aggrievedly under the opponent's sword in the end.

Zhou Luo looked at the corpse on the ground and took the opponent's storage bag.

As for the contents of the other people's storage bags, they had long been plundered by this guy.

After doing all this, he walked out of this formation.

Outside the formation, Cultivators gathered in twos and threes again.

They hovered in front of the mist, wanting to go in but not daring to.

After Zhou Luo appeared, everyone's gaze fell upon him, all with malicious intent.

"Don't look at me. If I could break the array, would this mist still be here?" Zhou Luo said, spreading his hands.

Everyone had doubts.

At this moment, Zhou Luo directly turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

It was already too late for the others to chase.

...

In a certain dense forest, Zhou Luo concealed his aura and was approaching the location of the Dual Cultivation Technique.

According to the clues, that place was very close to the depths of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, and the Cultivators active there were also more fierce and formidable.

The main reason was that it was the location of the Joyful Union Sect ruins, so a large number of Cultivators appeared there every day.

Zhou Luo had learned about this in the Market earlier.

That Magic Forest was considered a relatively famous location in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

Due to the existence of restrictive formations, it only allowed Qi Training cultivators to enter. Legend had it that as long as one passed through the Magic Forest, they would have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the Joyful Union Sect.

Of course, the inheritance here naturally did not refer to the Evil Cultivator methods like those of Liu Fuchen.

Instead, it referred to things from the ancient Joyful Union Dao.

Zhou Luo knew that what was being referred to here was actually the Dual Cultivation Technique.

He estimated that the Magic Forest was probably also created by the Azure Origin Sect to train Disciples.

Otherwise, if there were truly good things, the Azure Origin Sect would have likely plundered them long ago, and it wouldn't be their turn.

However, Zhou Luo was extremely interested in this Dual Cultivation Technique.

If one could increase their cultivation while engaging in matters between men and women, it was probably the lifelong dream of many male Cultivators.

Especially for Zhou Luo, who possessed the System, it was simply a perfect match.

However, the more it came to this point, the more careful and cautious one should be.

...

Jiang City.

The once prosperous streets were now incredibly chaotic.

Countless Cultivators were frantically plundering.

Some of them were Cultivators from the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, and some were people from the Lu Family.

Since confirming that Jiang City's defensive strength was greatly depleted, the Lu Family had already begun to act.

If Lin San hadn't reacted in time, the entire Jiang City would have probably already belonged to the other party.

But at present, the situation was still not optimistic.

Except for a few important shops of the Lin Family, other places had already fallen.

Many Lin Family Cultivators were injured or killed, and they could only rely on the formations to desperately hold on.

In front of the Lin Family Estate.

A Middle-aged man wearing Lu Family attire looked at the light shield covering the entire estate, his brows tightly furrowed.

"They haven't arrived yet?" he asked in a deep voice.

A subordinate beside him said fearfully, "Eighth Elder, we contacted them several days ago, but Deacon Lu Ming said he would rush over soon."

"You said that two days ago. They have flying shuttles; why are they still so slow?" the Lu Family Eighth Elder said sternly.

Lu Ming and Lu Chou were the Array Masters specifically dispatched by the Lu Family to Jiang City this time.

If unexpected situations like chaos occurred in Jiang City, with them present, they could completely ignore the formations here.

But just three days ago, they had already sent someone to inform the two of them.

That day happened to be the day Zhou Luo appeared.

They originally planned to break the formation in one go and then rush back.

Who knew that afterward, they would be counter-killed by Zhou Luo and remain in the valley forever.

It was also thanks to this; otherwise, the Lin Family's properties in Jiang City would likely all fall into the hands of the Lu Family.

Hearing this, the subordinate bowed his body and dared not reply.

The Lu Family Eighth Elder, with a hint of anger between his brows, spoke again, "Continue contacting them. If they still haven't arrived by tomorrow, they will be dealt with according to Family law."

"Yes." The subordinate received the order and left.

The Lu Family Eighth Elder, on the other hand, looked up at the clear blue sky, a hint of worry flashing in the depths of his eyes.

It had been almost ten days since they entered Jiang City, and the Lin Family's reinforcements should arrive soon.

They must quickly seize control of Jiang City's formations; only then could they truly occupy this city.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes: "Continue the fierce attack."

The dozen or so Lu Family Disciples beside him exchanged glances and continued to attack.

Inside the estate.

Lin San was worriedly discussing countermeasures with Lin Dong.

Lin Xin sat there silently, not saying a word.

This Lin Family Third Miss was completely unable to help with such matters.

Now she only hoped the Zhou Family reinforcements could arrive as soon as possible.
