196: Chapter 196 Dual Formations Combined

Huang Jinglong narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Demonic Path and I actually have the same goal? Is the Bone Fiend Immortal Master joking when death is at his doorstep?"

"I am not, honestly speaking. Our Bone Fiend Sect has one and only one goal for coming to your Immortal City, and that is that Xu Changsheng."

"It is Fellow Daoist Xu again. I really want to know what he did to make you all so persistent. Tell me about it."

Liu Fuqi was slightly stunned: "Does Yellow Ox not even know about this?"

He shook his head: "I did want to interrogate him, but he has someone backing him, so I could not touch him."

"What do you mean someone backing him? Is it not just the Jinyang Sect?"

"It seems it really is the Jinyang Sect. Does Fellow Daoist Liu know the inside story? Would you care to tell me?"

He laughed freely: "Of course, no problem. The Jinyang Sect cannot hide this kind of thing for long. Why should I not tell you?"

...

A quarter of an hour later.

What happened at Three Realms Mountain was recounted by Liu Fuqi exactly as it occurred.

"There was actually such a thing..."

Jin Chuan listened to Xu Changsheng's astonishing feats in a daze, finding it hard to believe:

"I have heard of the Old Locust Demon's deeds since I was a child. I do not know how many tens of thousands of years it has been sleeping. I did not expect it to be awakened by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It is simply inconceivable."

Then he sighed: "It is a pity. Fellow Daoist Xu is a person of great Opportunity."

Huang Shaotian and Chu Linger below also showed expressions of shock. As fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they found it hard to imagine that a peer could continuously repel Golden Core True Persons.

They were genuine Golden Core True Persons, and Late Stage Golden Core ones at that, not comparable to False Core Cultivators at all.

Even if external force was used, it was still a legendary event.

Chu Linger's eyes glistened with tears, filled with admiration for Xu Changsheng.

"As expected of my Revered Master, he really is someone who accomplishes great things. I must persuade Revered Master later to let him become a Guest Elder in the Immortal City!"

Seeing Chu Linger's adoring expression, Huang Shaotian felt uneasy: "Senior Sister Chu seems very concerned about this Fellow Daoist Xu..."

Then he comforted himself: "Fortunately, this Fellow Daoist Xu is either dead or has left, and will never appear in front of Senior Sister Chu again."

Huang Jinglong was unexpectedly calm after listening.

As a high-level figure in the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World, he knew about what happened in Three Realms Mountain, but the Jinyang Sect attributed all the credit to a Disciple named Crimson Rainbow.

He had always felt there was more to it.

He realized it the moment Gu Lingye radiated immense malice toward Xu Changsheng, but he had not been sure.

Now, his guess was confirmed.

Seeing Huang Jinglong's indifferent expression, Liu Fuqi felt uneasy and continued to explain: "Yellow Ox, everything I said is true. I am willing to swear to the heavens."

He raised his right hand, but then slowly lowered it.

Huang Jinglong opposite him shook his head: "Of course I believe what you say is true, but what was your intention in using this Opportunity to slaughter the Loose Cultivators in our Immortal City?"

His voice became more solemn: "Clearly, Xu Changsheng was already killed by you!"

He immediately retorted: "Yellow Ox, do not spout nonsense. I did not kill Xu Changsheng. I have not even seen him once."

"Is that so? You Demonic Path people really love to lie with your eyes open. Ever since Xu Changsheng left through the South Gate, there has been no trace of him. If you did not kill him, who could it be?"

"I really did not. If Yellow Ox does not believe me, I have the communication talismans of my Disciples for you to check, and I can also swear."

"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Liu, stop. I do not believe in your Demonic Path oaths at all. As for your communication talismans, I will take them and check them after you fall."

"I..."

Liu Fuqi's voice cut off abruptly, and his figure turned into nothingness again.

His voice echoed in the Void Realm: "Everything I said is true. I will find Xu Changsheng again, hehe!"

Accompanied by a flash of silver light, the surrounding yellow Formation patterns trembled violently, emitting ripples.

"Clang!"

The ripples turned into sound waves, coming from all directions.

The Formation was hit hard, and the spiritual patterns dimmed one after another.

"Huang Jinglong, until we meet again!"

Jin Chuan flew over hurriedly, his face full of regret: "Is this stinky Daoist so strong? He can even break the Earth Emperor Sealing Heaven Formation?"

Huang Jinglong ignored him, his eyes slightly lowered: "Fellow Daoist Liu, did you think I did not know you were stalling for time just now?"

He tapped his Storage Pouch with his right hand.

"Coincidentally, my Earth Emperor Sealing Heaven Formation also needed some time to be fully set up."

The next moment.

A black-brown Formation Plate the size of a millstone appeared in his hand.

The Formation Plate seemed extremely heavy; the veins on Huang Jinglong's arms bulged as he barely held it up with both hands.

He chanted continuously.

Dozens of breaths later.

He slowly descended, pressed his hands to the ground, and spiritual power surged in like a tide. An earthy-yellow light curtain rose from the ground, rapidly expanding and spreading toward the distance.

In almost an instant, it spread for several miles, stretching across heaven and earth.

The regret on Jin Chuan's face immediately vanished, replaced by shock: "Revered Master, you, you repaired the Earth Emperor Sealing Heaven Formation?"

He was the one who originally collected this incomplete top-tier Tier 3 Formation, but because his own Formation attainments were insufficient, he simply offered it to Yellow Ox.

Even as an incomplete Formation, its power was not inferior to a Tier 3 Low Grade Formation.

But now, this power...

The ground under his feet turned into quicksand, and an invisible gravity pressed down on him.

Everywhere he looked was yellow light, trapping the sky and locking the earth; there was no escape.

"This is a complete quasi-Tier 4 Great Formation!"

Huang Jinglong pinched his hands like wheels and glanced at him: "Making a fuss. Since I took this Formation, I had the confidence to find someone to repair it!"

Then he looked into the distance, the direction in which Liu Fuqi had fled.

"Bone Fiend Immortal Master, the real battle begins now."

The yellow light rolled up the dust of the earth and surged away.

"Ah! What the hell! Run!"

"I cannot move!"

The several Demonic Path Disciples lurking in the vicinity thought they would not be affected by the battle between Golden Cores at such a distance, but they did not expect that they would not be spared even from so far away.

The yellow light carried a few wisps of the power of heaven and earth, and within just a few breaths, they were crushed into mud.

Only a faint bloody scent announced the fact that they had existed.

The yellow light continued to spread.

Until it touched the towering Yellow Ox Immortal City at the end of the line of sight.

The next instant.

A pillar of light shot up from the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the Immortal City, straight into the clouds.

The Heaven-Filling Thick Earth Formation of Yellow Ox Immortal City resonated with the spreading Earth Emperor Sealing Heaven Formation, rippling with astonishing spiritual fluctuations.

Dual Formations Merged!

This was Huang Jinglong's trump card against the Demonic Path. Even if a Tier 4 True Monarch came, he had the confidence to resist for a while!
