196: leave

Ye Tian hadn't expected that this formation, which seemed powerful, was actually just a facade.

It could be broken with a single sword strike. It seemed he had overestimated the formation setter.

Thinking about it, how could there be an Upper Grade Array Formation Master in this Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range? Even a Middle Grade one would be treated like a Bodhisattva.

Hmph.

The other party actually dared to attack him.

After getting out, he would definitely throw the other party to his Disciples for Dual Cultivation.

Ye Tian's face was cold as he held his bloody longsword and charged towards the outside.

The next moment, he passed through that opening, and his figure appeared in the formation.

That's right.

He was still inside the formation; the entrance to the outside remained, and everything was unchanged.

Ye Tian's expression slightly changed.

What does this mean?

He continued to charge forward, passed through the opening again, and once again appeared back where he started.

Ye Tian stood frozen, completely unable to understand the situation.

Boom—

Suddenly, a huge sound echoed in his ears.

The silent formation remained unchanged, but Ye Tian suddenly felt himself being attacked, and a sharp pain surged into his heart.

His chest sank, and he spat out a mouthful of essence blood. His aura instantly withered, and he was sent flying back towards the opening.

The immense pain blurred his vision in front of him. The next second, he saw endless light blades already surrounding him, falling like a rain of pear blossoms.

Ye Tian's face paled with fright, completely unaware of how these light blades, which appeared out of thin air, had materialized.

He raised his sword to block, enduring the pain and activating his spiritual energy. His body flickered with spiritual light, and at the same time, he didn't forget to throw out several defensive Talismans.

Bang bang bang—

The light blades fell, and explosions rang out one after another. Radiance shone everywhere, and terrifying power fluctuations swept out. The surrounding trees all collapsed and shattered, and the ground was left with charred scratches, a shocking sight.

Within the radiance, Ye Tian spat out another mouthful of essence blood, his face pale.

The formation's attack wasn't as strong as he'd imagined, but it came suddenly and concentrated so much power at once.

Even at the Qi Training stage, eighth level, with those few Talismans, he couldn't block it.

"Damn it, what exactly is going on?" Ye Tian stabilized his body.

He looked ahead, and more light blades fell from the sky, one after another.

Ye Tian gritted his teeth and charged out, desperately trying to block them.

At the center of the Formation, Zhou Luo quietly watched Ye Tian, who was attacking the air haphazardly, a mocking expression on his lips.

This illusory power is indeed very strong. When caught off guard, even a Cultivator at the Qi Training stage, eighth level can be easily affected.

It seems his choice back then was correct.

Ye Tian was unaware that he was in an illusion until, due to exhaustion, the light blades touched his body without causing any harm.

Only then did he suddenly realize that everything he saw was an illusion.

"What kind of Array Formation is this?" Ye Tian roared, took a Pill, and cleared his mind.

Immediately after, the scene before him changed again, and countless light blades fell once more.

Real and illusory, illusory and real.

Ye Tian didn't know if these attacks were illusions or not. He didn't dare to gamble and could only take a Pill to restore his spiritual energy and charge forward again.

Because he had detected the illusion, Ye Tian was indeed no longer affected after taking the Pill.

After all, this illusory power was limited and couldn't achieve the Realm of true illusion being real and real being illusory.

Even so, after suffering repeated heavy blows, Ye Tian's spiritual energy was unsustainable.

Even if he had other means, in front of an Upper Grade Array formation, as long as he couldn't leave, only Death awaited him.

Not to mention Zhou Luo was still interfering and launching sneak attacks from the side.

Half an hour later, Ye Tian fell to the ground with a thud, ultimately dying within this formation.

Zhou Luo didn't go over immediately. Instead, he controlled the formation to bombard the other party's corpse a few more times.

It wasn't until the corpse was unrecognizable and flesh and blood splattered that he walked over and took the other party's storage bag.

Inside the storage bag.

Besides Spirit Stones, there were some Pills, Talismans, and an Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

Their value was decent; selling them all could fetch a considerable price.

In addition, there were a few books on Evil Cultivation Methods for Dual Cultivation. Zhou Luo already had these, so he simply burned them on the spot and didn't sell them.

On the one hand, he wanted to prevent buyers from discovering that these belonged to a Joyful Union Sect Disciple. On the other hand, he didn't want more people to learn these evil methods that could cause chaos in the world.

On the path of cultivation, only through diligent effort can one succeed. Those who seek shortcuts will ultimately suffer backlash.

After burning these Cultivation Methods, Zhou Luo also found a token exclusive to Joyful Union Sect Disciples.

Although these Evil Cultivators have now become rats in the gutter, they still have an organization.

This man named Ye Tian was one of the deacons, similar to Wang Tong back then.

After obtaining this token, Zhou Luo erased the aura that belonged exclusively to Ye Tian and injected his own aura into it.

This way, if he were to encounter Joyful Union Sect Disciples again in the future, he might be able to impersonate one.

After putting away the token and other items, Zhou Luo dismantled the formation, took away the formation stones whose energy had not yet been depleted, and quietly left the Magic Forest.

To avoid that woman Shangguan Qianxue waiting for him outside.

Zhou Luo waited for a few days and then changed into another appearance.

Wang Tong's mask was indeed useful. As long as the Cultivator didn't have strong Divine Sense or a high cultivation Realm, it was basically difficult to see through.

Finally, leaving the Magic Forest, Zhou Luo found that Shangguan Qianxue was indeed waiting outside.

Besides her, there was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in green, who seemed to be her fellow Disciple.

When Zhou Luo came out, the young man glanced at him and transmitted a message, "Senior Sister, is it him?"

He was Shangguan Qianxue's Senior Brother. Upon receiving her message, he had quickly rushed here.

From her words, he learned that she had almost obtained three top-grade Magical Artifacts.

However, she had encountered many things later and, in the end, had to abandon everything to save her life.

The young man who heard this naturally couldn't bear to part with these three top-grade Magical Artifacts, and it was said that the person who might have obtained two of them was only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

In that case, it was even less possible to let him go.

So, under the guise of wanting to help her take revenge, he planned to wait for the rabbit by the stump.

Hearing this, Shangguan Qianxue looked at the man wearing a purple-gold robe and shook her head slightly.

In her opinion, with Xu Changsheng's strength, even if he had many hidden cards, it was highly likely that he wouldn't return.

After all, this Magic Forest was far more dangerous than imagined; even she, at the Qi Training stage, seventh level, had almost perished.

As for the Middle-aged man who took one of her Upper Grade Magical Artifacts and one top-grade Magical Artifact, she didn't know when she would see him appear again.

Hearing that it wasn't the person she was looking for, the young man didn't pay much attention.

Zhou Luo successfully left the Magic Forest and rapidly departed towards the outer reaches of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

His harvest from this trip to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was not small.

Especially obtaining a top-tier Dual Cultivation Technique made him feel that this trip was not in vain.

He didn't choose to enter the Market. Instead, according to the map left by Wu Gang, he chose another path to leave the mountain range.

Anyway, this mountain range was vast, and he could leave from anywhere.

And this choice, by a strange coincidence, saved his life.

Because as long as he entered the Market, two Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouses would be waiting for him.
