420: It's just a formation. Watch me break it...

Ji Jiangxue hid in the shadows, carefully observing the Winged Flight Leader.

When she realized that her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness, a wave of shock surged within her.

She knew the power of this Realm, a height she could not currently reach.

However, Ji Jiangxue was not swallowed by fear.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart and keep herself composed.

She understood that in this situation, panic would only make things worse.

Her gaze swept over the dense Winged Flyers, and her heart tightened.

These Winged Flyers were numerous, and each exuded a powerful Aura.

Fortunately, most of the Winged Flyers' cultivation was in Qi Refining and Transforming Spirit, with only a few hundred in the Refining Spirit Returning to Void.

The truly difficult one was the central figure they surrounded—the Winged Flight Leader, whose cultivation was at the Great Perfection of Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness.

But she did not retreat; instead, her resolve became even firmer.

Ji Jiangxue began to consider countermeasures.

She knew that a direct confrontation was not advisable; she had to find the enemy's weakness and then use the terrain of Mount Tai to Breakthrough the predicament.

Her mind raced, various strategies flashing through her mind.

But most of them were rejected one by one. Looking at the Winged Flyers in the air, she had dealt with them before, and she generally knew how to kill them.

Thinking of this, Ji Jiangxue disappeared from the spot.

...

A group of various Yao Beasts were happily chatting and eating delicious food under the sun's bath.

“Alas, today is another calm day, and it's almost over.”

“Yes, it's over.”

“Fat Pig, what was that thing you brought back earlier? It smells so good, quickly hand it over!”

“There's none left, none left, Brother Tiger. It was just that thing flying in the sky earlier; it was my first time eating it too.”

“Useless! Why didn't you bring back more?!”

“Brother Tiger, what's so good about that? Let's eat Fat Pig today.”

Pig Yao: ???!!!

I finally saved my pig life, why are you thinking about me again?!

The Pig Yao trembled with fear, begging for mercy while trying to escape.

However, the other Yao Beasts ignored its pleas and pounced on it.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, blocking the Yao Beasts' path.

The newcomer was none other than Ji Jiangxue, holding a long sword, her eyes cold.

“You guys, how dare you bully the weak!” Ji Jiangxue roared.

The Yao Beasts were intimidated by her Aura and dared not move for a moment.

“Oh no, the female Devil Head is here!”

The Pig Yao's eyes became even more desperate; it hadn't forgotten that the female Devil Head had said she wanted to eat its meat not long ago.

Seeing this, Ji Jiangxue felt a slight relief.

She turned to look at the Pig Yao, then at the other Yao Beasts, and said, “What's so good about a body full of fat? Today, I'll take you to eat something different, how about it?”

Yao Beasts: ??!!

Pig Yao: ???!!!

What the heck, eat something different?

What, you're going to eat my meat anyway, and now there's a different way to die?!

Seeing the confusion in the Yao Beasts' eyes, Ji Jiangxue slowly explained, “Didn't you eat the food the Pig Yao brought earlier? How did it taste?”

Brother Tiger's eyes lit up. Although it didn't know what it was and the food was relatively small, it didn't prevent it from being crunchy when eaten!

Some of the Yao Beasts who had tasted it also secretly lit up their eyes, all excitedly looking at Ji Jiangxue.

Seeing that the Yao Beasts had all taken the bait, Ji Jiangxue continued, “You certainly didn't eat well before. This time, many of them have come, and you'll definitely be able to have a big feast.”

“I've eaten them too; they really taste great. This time I'm on your side; I'll take you to catch them together.”

“I'll be responsible for killing, and you'll be responsible for eating, how about it?!”

“Of course, if you kill them yourselves, I won't compete with you. Whoever kills more eats more.”

“You should also know that they aren't big, so eating more at once makes them more satisfying to chew!!”

“Don't you agree…?”

Yao Beasts: !!!

Wow, the female Devil Head is so kind today!

Something's wrong, this guy definitely has ill intentions, but they really are crunchy and even burst with juice, it's hard to resist not going!!!

And so, a group of Yao Beasts nodded one after another under Ji Jiangxue's persuasion.

Ji Jiangxue nodded with satisfaction. Although these Yao Beasts had gained sentience as their cultivation improved.

However, it was clear that while they had sentience, it wasn't much!

Ji Jiangxue led a mighty group of Yao Beasts to the Two Realms Passage. At this time, a small number of Winged Flyers were still gathered together, while most of them had already scattered.

The Yao Beasts excitedly rushed forward to capture them, while Ji Jiangxue watched leisurely from the side.

However, when a Winged Flyer with a Refining Spirit Returning to Void cultivation appeared, the Yao Beasts instantly scattered in fear.

Ji Jiangxue's lips curved slightly, and with a light leap, her sharp sword easily cut off the Winged Flyer's head.

“See, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”

She said to the terrified Yao Beasts.

Ji Jiangxue looked at the scene before her and couldn't help but sigh. Although these Yao Beasts had good strength, they were still not enough when facing the Realm of Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness.

Fortunately, when she persuaded them to come, it was also to have them kill some Winged Flyers in Qi Refining and Transforming Spirit. As for the Winged Flyers in Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness, she would kill them first!

According to Mount Tai's sensing, there were about eighty thousand Winged Flyers this time, and they were all wandering around Mount Tai, wanting to get out.

Unfortunately, Mount Tai had set up barriers against the Yao Beasts of the various mountains long ago. Now that the Two Realms Passage appeared in Mount Tai this time, Ji Jiangxue had set up a barrier early on, and specifically set up an enhanced Formation.

They were like birds trapped in a cage, unable to fly out.

“What's going on? Why can't we get out?”

“I don't know, there's an invisible wall in the air.”

“Go call the Leader and have her break it.”

The Winged Flight Leader frowned upon hearing this.

She had noticed earlier that the Spiritual Qi here was excessively dense and had been wondering about it. She didn't expect someone to be setting a trap for her!

But...

It's just a small Formation of mere natives; surely it can't stump her.

The Winged Flight Leader lightly flew to the barrier. She extended her slender finger, slowly reaching into the air.

Indeed, when her fingertip touched the air, she felt an invisible obstruction.

This was precisely the invisible barrier!

Her heart filled with joy as she confirmed her conjecture.

Then, she tried to casually attack the barrier.

Immediately, the surrounding Spiritual Qi, like a startled swarm of bees, began to fluctuate violently.

They quickly converged, forming powerful ripples of spiritual energy that spread outwards.

The Winged Flight Leader frowned slightly, realizing that this barrier was not an ordinary defensive measure, but a complex Formation closely connected to the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

“It's just a mere Formation; watch me break it…”
