301: Breaking the Formation

A city-protecting great Formation is usually a Second-Order great Formation. To completely break this type of defensive Formation, it would require a Second-Order Formation Master to be present.

However, as long as there are enough Array Masters, through extensive deduction and calculation, they can still find a gap in the formation and enter the city through it.

After all, this is just a defensive formation, so there's no need to worry about being attacked by the Formation.

Of course, the premise for this kind of deduction and calculation is when the Formation's power is insufficient.

When the Formation's power supply is insufficient, the Formation's operation becomes slow, and Array Masters can seize the opportunity to capture the formation's operational trajectory, perform deduction and calculation, and find the formation's gap.

Generally, for defensive formations like this, if you want the power to be insufficient, you can only resort to various bombardments.

This is also a relatively mainstream method of breaking formations.

By attacking forcefully, affecting the formation's operation, and then using Array Masters to calculate the operational patterns to open a gap.

Currently, this group of Array Masters is just observing this formation, building a relatively concrete outline of the formation to facilitate capturing its operational patterns later.

After the Array Masters were in position, Lin Xi gave another order, instructing the other Cultivators to begin attacking the formation.

One after another, flying boats approached the city-protecting great formation, and various attack Talismans fell from the sky, shining with brilliant and dazzling light.

Boom boom boom—

Bursts of immense power erupted in the air, unleashing tremendous might.

The entire formation also flickered with intense light, and ripples appeared on the light shield, occasionally collapsing into a large dent before recovering again.

The formation's power was fully activated, resisting these attacks.

On the city wall, the Lu Family Patriarch gave an order, and the Family Cultivators rushed out, charging towards those breaking the formation.

Their momentum was like a rainbow; knowing that their Zhou Family was about to be annihilated, they could only fight to the death.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

All sorts of spell battles were dazzling, and both sides erupted into fierce combat.

"Zhou Fellow Daoist, do you think the Lu Family has any other means?"

Above the clouds, the Lin Family Old Ancestor standing on a flying shuttle suddenly asked.

In his heart, he advocated recuperation and slowly strengthening the Zhou Family.

After all, a Immortal Family is not that easy to kill, especially since the opponent can also rely on the city-protecting great formation to defend against enemies.

Qingtian City might eventually be breached, but the Lin Family would also suffer great losses. If other forces in the Qingyuan Domain coveted them at that time, it would be troublesome.

Everyone was scrambling to become the "dog" of the Azure Origin Sect.

A domestic dog always lives more comfortably than a wild dog.

However, since Zhou Luo insisted on this, this Old Ancestor of his eventually acquiesced.

Because this was both a danger and an opportunity. If they could easily take down the Lu Family, the Lin Family a hundred years later would undoubtedly stand proudly above all the Longevity Families, becoming the largest force in the Qingyuan Domain, second only to the Immortal Sect.

At this moment, he really wanted to know where Zhou Luo's confidence in being able to annihilate the Lu Family came from.

Zhou Luo smiled slightly: "The Lu Family's only means is probably to hold fast to this city. As for anything else, Lin Daoist friend, you don't need to worry at all."

For this great battle, he had made ample preparations.

First, he brought the Wang Family and Li Family over, and later secretly divided the Lu Family and Zhang Family.

Now the general situation was decided, the Lu Family was merely a turtle in a jar.

The only thing that probably made him curious was when the Lu Family would surrender.

Among the Array Masters, he, dressed in a green robe, held a white jade Formation Plate and was seriously conducting formation deduction.

In recent years, with Zhou Luo's help, his understanding of Array formation had become increasingly profound. This time, he even participated as an elite in the deduction of the Second-Order formation.

This was a very rare opportunity. Even if he couldn't break the formation, he could still gain considerable insights from that Second-Order great formation.

And the reason Lin Xi arranged for him to be on the front line was self-evident.

She was starting to cultivate her own forces.

Now, although Second Elder Lin Guangxuan and the others had sided with Zhou Luo, they were ultimately not of the same mind as Zhou Luo, and many matters were still difficult to arrange.

As the saying goes, with a new emperor comes a new court.

After Lin Xi became the Family Head, she would definitely need to have her own power within the Elder Council.

Relying solely on Zhou Luo would definitely not be enough.

Because on major Zhou Family matters, the Elder Council's vote of approval is required.

In the future, Zhou Luo would definitely not stay in the Zhou Family for long. At that time, Lin Xi would need others to support her decisions.

Xu Changsheng was clearly a good candidate.

As long as he performed outstandingly in this great battle, when merits were discussed and rewards were given afterward, he would very likely become the Zhou Family's new Elder, or even control the Zhou Family's industries related to Array Formation.

Xu Changsheng also understood this very well.

He was a smart person. When opportunity was placed before him, he would firmly seize it.

Just like when he became the steward of Zhou Garden.

Therefore, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Besides him, Zhou Luo's children also participated in it.

This was an excellent opportunity for tempering them, which would be of great help to their future cultivation.

Moreover, with Zhou Luo secretly looking out for them, their Life safety was also guaranteed. Furthermore, the death of their eldest brother at the hands of the Lu Family made them even more courageous.

Among them, the siblings Zhou Changle and Zhou Shiling were particularly outstanding.

As Disciples of an Immortal Sect, and having taken a Golden Core True Person as their master, the abilities they displayed were exceptionally fierce.

This was their last tempering opportunity before Foundation Establishment. After this matter concluded, they would return to the sect for secluded cultivation to break through.

Half a day later, after the battle concluded, Xu Changsheng and the other Array Masters also retreated.

They needed to discuss and research in order to find a way to open a gap in the formation.

And the other Cultivators also needed to rest and adjust.

A great battle was never achieved overnight, and everyone was prepared for a long-term engagement.

Another month passed.

Facing the aggressive Lin Family, the Lu Family was already struggling to stand alone.

And the deduction and calculation of the city-protecting great formation had also achieved a major Breakthrough. This group of Array Masters was very confident in finding a gap in the formation within a month.

The speed at which the formation was being broken this time was greatly related to Zhou Luo.

As a First-Order top Array Master, he had also secretly observed and deduced this formation, and then informed Xu Changsheng of all the information he knew, using him to accelerate the speed of breaking the formation.

When Xu Changsheng saw the information about breaking the Formation, he was once plunged into deep doubt.

He knew there was a gap between himself and Zhou Luo in Array Formation, but this gap was like a natural chasm. Every time he felt he had closed the distance with the other party a little...

...the other party could always slap his face hard again.

To this day, Xu Changsheng still didn't know what Realm Zhou Luo was in regarding Array Formation.

Recalling when he first knew the other party could set up Formations, he was still guessing that the other party should be a Middle Grade or Upper Grade Array Formation Master.

Time had passed, and the other party had long since stood at the peak, an existence he could only look up to.

On this day, the Lin Family maintained their daily battles methodically, continuously bombarding that great Formation.

The great Formation that was originally brilliant and dazzling had now dimmed considerably.

And that Old Ancestor of the Lu Family finally couldn't hold back. He shot up from the ground and roared angrily: "Lin Jiu, come fight to the death!"
