100: Junior Sister is actually at the peak of the Golden Core Realm?

The atmosphere inside the tea shed was deathly silent!

Spirit Snake's old face, previously filled with ferocity and smugness, instantly froze!

His cloudy old eyes widened, staring fixedly at the staff in his hand—the one he had already pushed to the limit with his mana!

His face was written with endless… confusion.

"???"

What was going on?! Why hadn't the Formation activated?

On the other side, Bai Yunxi, Qin Xiaohui, and Lin Yao were also stunned.

They had already prepared themselves for having their mana sealed and fighting to the death.

But now… there was absolutely nothing?!

The three of them looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they all saw a trace of thick… bewilderment.

"This…"

"What happened to the promised Spirit-Sealing Formation?"

Bai Yunxi looked around and spoke, "Could it be… that he was just bluffing?"

Qin Xiaohui realized what was happening. Seeing Spirit Snake, who was already stunned into wooden silence, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"And here I thought he was so powerful!"

"After all that, it turns out he was just trying to scare us?"

Senior Brother Lin Yao also slapped his thigh with a look of realization. "I understand now!"

"This guy was feinting at us!"

Hearing this, Spirit Snake's old face, which had been filled with shock, was instantly replaced by a flushed, embarrassed rage!

"Bullshit!" He was so angry that he immediately began to curse!

"Who the hell is feinting at you?!"

"I really did set up a Spirit-Sealing Formation here!"

"This Formation Plate cost me millions of Spirit Stones to acquire from the black market!"

"The Formation Plate is embedded right here in my staff, and it can be activated at any time!"

He spoke with great agitation, though his heart was filled with equal confusion.

Why was there no reaction?!

It had clearly been set up, and the Formation Plate was under his control within the staff; all it needed was a supply of mana to activate the Spirit-Sealing Formation.

Suddenly! He seemed to have thought of something!

His cloudy old eyes narrowed sharply, and he suddenly turned towards the pitch-black corner behind the tea shed!

The Formation was divided into two parts! The first was the Formation Plate, which served as the hub! The second were the Formation Eyes spread throughout the surroundings!

One only needed to inject mana into the Formation Plate to instantly activate the major Formation Eyes, thereby constructing the entire array!

Now that the Formation Plate was in his hands, there was absolutely no way there could be a problem!

That meant… the only explanation was… something had happened to the Formation Eyes!

Sure enough! When his gaze pierced through the endless night and landed on the corner he had long ago set as the core Formation Eye!

He saw it! A pitch-black, unremarkable-looking Little Black Jiao was lying there, bored out of its mind!

And the most crucial part was… in the mouth of that Little Black Jiao, it was clutching a High-Grade Spirit Stone that was emitting pure spiritual energy fluctuations!

That was the core energy source he used to maintain the operation of the entire array!

Boom—!

This scene was like a bolt of Chaos Divine Thunder capable of splitting the heavens and earth, slamming heavily onto Spirit Snake's crown!

He only felt his brain go "buzz," and his mind went blank.

"Ah—!" The next second, a sharp roar filled with endless rage and madness suddenly resounded through the entire night sky!

"It was you!!!"

"It was you, you damned Little Black Jiao, who caused this!!!"

Hearing this, Bai Yunxi, Qin Xiaohui, and Lin Yao were all taken aback.

They subconsciously followed Spirit Snake's murderous gaze.

When they saw Mysterious Ink, who was clutching a High-Grade Spirit Stone and looking at them with a pair of innocent eyes that seemed to say "What are you looking at?", the three of them immediately understood!

"Pfft!"

"Hahahaha!"

Inside the silent tea shed, a heaven-shaking burst of laughter erupted instantly!

"Mysterious Ink! Well done!"

"I knew it all along! Fellow Daoist Mysterious Ink is definitely no ordinary creature!"

The three of them laughed, giving a thumbs up to Mysterious Ink!

"Hmph!" However, just at this moment! A cold snort from Spirit Snake, filled with endless icy and grim killing intent, suddenly rang out!

"You are rejoicing too early!"

His cloudy old eyes swept over the group indifferently, as if looking at four dead people.

"So what if there is no Spirit-Sealing Formation?"

"You are all going to die today anyway!!!"

The moment his voice fell!

Boom—!

A majestic pressure, many times more terrifying than before and filled with endless bloody and eerie auras, erupted from his hunched body!

Golden Core Mid-Stage!

This guy was actually at the Golden Core Mid-Stage?!

"Not good!"

The smiles on the faces of Bai Yunxi, Qin Xiaohui, and Lin Yao instantly froze!

Replacing them was endless shock and… despair!

The intelligence was wrong!

This guy was not some Early Golden Core Stage cultivator at all! He was a Golden Core Mid-Stage powerhouse capable of easily crushing them all to death!

However! Just as the three of them were shaken to their cores, their minds blank!

A stunningly beautiful figure in snow-white clothes moved!

Ye Feiyan acted decisively.

Fast! It was fast to the extreme!

It was so fast that even with Spirit Snake's Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivation, he couldn't react at all.

A streak of white light, so fast it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, flashed by!

The next second, Ye Feiyan's figure appeared directly in front of Spirit Snake as if she had teleported.

Her slender hand, crystal clear like mutton-fat jade, landed a seemingly light palm strike onto Spirit Snake's chest!

"Bang—!" A dull, thunderous boom!

"Pfft!"

Spirit Snake's old face, previously filled with a sinister grin, was instantly replaced by thick horror.

He only felt as if he had been slammed in the chest by a high-speed, ancient divine mountain!

A mouthful of scalding blood sprayed into the air.

His entire body was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

He slammed heavily into the indestructible wall in the distance, smashing a huge human-shaped hole right through the thick masonry.

And at this very moment, a supreme pressure, a thousand times more terrifying than Spirit Snake's, filled with a sense of perfection and flawlessness, erupted from Ye Feiyan's body.

Golden Core Realm… Peak!

"…"

In an instant, Bai Yunxi, Qin Xiaohui, and Lin Yao, whose figures had been filled with shock and despair, were completely frozen in place, as if cast under a binding spell.
