305: The formation was startled by wind and rain.

On the stone table in the Hanyue Valley Underground Palace, Yellow Pharmacist embedded the last purified void stone into the Grand Void Teleportation Array's core.

The amethyst-like stone, upon contact with the surrounding runes, instantly glowed with brilliant light. The entire underground palace seemed to be enveloped by stars, dimming even the light of the bronze lamps.

"It's done!" Yellow Pharmacist straightened up, brushing dust from his robes, and twirled his jade flute between his fingers. "How about a short-distance teleportation test? Let's send someone to the Luowang stronghold in Qingzhou. There are 'Xuan' group members there to receive them."

Jun Xiaoyao tapped a coordinate point on the light screen, and the scene of the Qingzhou stronghold immediately appeared—Star Plucker was sitting on a rooftop drinking, toying with a jade pendant he had stolen from a Wanfa Holy Land Elder. The Luowang Assassinss inside the stronghold were performing their duties, completely unaware of the impending anomaly.

"Target: Qingzhou stronghold rooftop," Jun Xiaoyao ordered, then looked at West Gate Blows Snow. "Mr. Ximen, I'll trouble you to be the first to teleport and confirm the Formation's stability."

West Gate Blows Snow nodded, his white-robed figure stepping into the center of the teleportation array. Yellow Pharmacist adjusted the speed of the rune flow and said in a deep voice, "Remember, do not circulate your Qi to resist during teleportation; just follow the spiritual energy."

The core of the array glowed intensely, and runes like a tide engulfed West Gate Blows Snow. Jun Xiaoyao stared at the water mirror, only to see the rooftop of the Qingzhou stronghold suddenly emit the same purple light as the underground palace. The next moment, West Gate Blows Snow's figure had appeared beside Star Plucker, the strong wind he brought overturning a wine jar.

"Tsk, what a spoilsport." Star Plucker wiped the wine stains from his face, then raised an eyebrow upon seeing the newcomer. "West Gate Blows Snow? How are you faster than a homing pigeon?"

West Gate Blows Snow ignored him, simply speaking into the message talisman as agreed, "Teleportation stable, no anomalies."

Inside the underground palace, Yellow Pharmacist stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "It really worked! The precision of this Formation is even higher than my Peach Blossom Island's Qimen Formation!"

Jun Xiaoyao looked at the "Teleportation Success Rate 100%" prompt on the light screen and paused his finger on the coordinates for "Wanfa Holy Land's Back Mountain Secret Path." With the Grand Void Teleportation Array, The Net's mobility would completely crush other forces. The Alliance between Wanfa Holy Land and Blood Shadow Cult was nothing but a joke.

"Zhao Gao," Jun Xiaoyao called, "have the 'Ying' group escort Xuesha to the interrogation room. I want to question him personally."

Half an hour later, in the interrogation room.

Xuesha was bound to an iron rack with chains. The burns on his shoulders had been treated with the best medicine, but his face was still pale. He looked at Jun Xiaoyao, who was seated in the main chair, his eyes filled with terror—a force capable of enlisting West Gate Blows Snow's service was definitely not something he could contend with.

"Speak, the details of the Blood Shadow Cult and Wanfa Holy Land's Alliance," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, toying with a void stone. "Including the assembly time, troop deployment, and main attack direction."

Xuesha gritted his teeth and remained silent, clearly still intending to resist. Jun Xiaoyao gave Shangguan Jinhong a look, and the 'Heaven' level commander immediately stepped forward, the Dragon Phoenix Rings clashing crisply in his palm: "It seems you haven't tasted the flavor of the 'Bone-Shattering Ring'."

The Phoenix Ring suddenly flew out, accurately latching onto Xuesha's ankle. With a burst of spiritual energy, the sound of bones shattering was clearly audible. Xuesha screamed, cold sweat soaking his robes: "I'll talk! We agreed to assemble on the third day of next month at Ten Mile Slope outside Hanyue Valley. The Blood Shadow Cult will send three hundred Blood Crow Guards, and Wanfa Holy Land will dispatch five Heaven-Man Realm Elders..."

He confessed intermittently, and Jun Xiaoyao recorded it on the light screen, quickly piecing together the complete Alliance plan—Wanfa Holy Land would attack the front gate, while the Blood Shadow Cult would infiltrate through the back mountain secret path, aiming to seize the resources of Beyond Heaven and the secret of the summoning array.

"How greedy," Jun Xiaoyao sneered. "Does your Cult Master Blood Butcher really have such confidence in taking Hanyue Valley?"

Xuesha gasped, "The Cult Master said... he has already achieved the Early Earthly Immortal Realm, and with the Blood Shadow Demonic Art in hand, he fears no force..."

"Land Immortal Realm?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes darkened slightly; this was an unexpected variable. He looked at Zhang Sanfeng. "Daoist Priest, what is Blood Butcher's strength?"

Zhang Sanfeng walked in from outside, gently sweeping his whisk: "This humble Daoist once met him years ago. At that time, he had just entered the Peak Heaven-Human Realm, and his Blood Shadow Great Technique was incredibly sinister. If he has truly Broken Through to the Land Immortal Realm, he might be difficult to deal with."

[Character: Blood Butcher]

[Realm: Early Earthly Immortal Realm (Suspected)]

[Martial Skills: Blood Shadow Demonic Art (Legendary), Bone-Corroding Claw (Perfection)]

[Weakness: Fears True Yang spiritual energy]

Jun Xiaoyao looked at the weakness prompt on the light screen, a faint smile playing on his lips. True Yang spiritual energy? Zhang Sanfeng's Nine Yang Divine Art and West Gate Blows Snow's True Yang Fire were both Blood Butcher's natural enemies.

"It seems I'll have to summon more manpower." Jun Xiaoyao rose and walked towards the summoning array. The spiritual energy in the array's core had risen to 30% due to the successful activation of the teleportation array, and a new list of summonable characters appeared on the light screen.

[Summonable Character: Guo Jing]

[From: the legend of the condor heroes World]

[Realm: Late Heaven-Man Realm]

[Martial Skills: Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms (Perfection), Nine Yin Manual (Major Achievement)]

[Loyalty: 90%]

[Summon Cost: 25% Spiritual Energy]

"Guo Jing?" Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow. The formidable power of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms perfectly countered sinister Cultivation Techniques. "Summon."

The array's core glowed again, and a figure in coarse clothes with an honest face solidified. He clasped his hands in a salute, his voice like a booming bell: "Junior Guo Jing greets Young Lord."

[Character Panel: Guo Jing]

[Status: Stable]

[Loyalty: 92%]

[Current Thought: It is good to contribute to the country and its people.]

Jun Xiaoyao pointed at Xuesha: "Great Hero Guo, the Blood Shadow Cult this person belongs to harms living beings and monopolizes the void stone mining veins. Are you willing to help clean them up?"

Guo Jing's eyes flashed with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "I will certainly serve! However..." He hesitated slightly, "Can we try to leave some alive? Perhaps we can persuade them to turn over a new leaf."

"You may," Jun Xiaoyao nodded. "But for those who are stubbornly unrepentant, show no mercy."

At this moment, an alarm suddenly blared from the water mirror—Wanfa Holy Land's enforcement team was ambushing The Net's temporary void stone mine in the Western Regions. The leader was Xuan Chen, who had escaped last time, and beside him was a monk in a robe. His palm strike carried Buddhist golden light, yet it exuded an eerie chill.

[Character: Monk Bukong]

[From: Wanfa Holy Land Affiliated Temple]

[Realm: Middle Celestial Realm]

[Martial Skills: Pseudo-Vajra Palm (Major Achievement), Soul-Snatching Art (Minor Achievement)]

[Characteristic: Outwardly compassionate, but secretly colluding with the Blood Shadow Cult]

"Another hypocrite," Jun Xiaoyao sneered, turning to West Gate Blows Snow. "Mr. Ximen, I'll trouble you and Great Hero Guo to go to the Western Regions together and clean up these ruffians."

"No need for two," West Gate Blows Snow drew his sword, its light sharp. "I alone am enough."

Guo Jing, however, stepped forward: "Young Lord, this Junior also wishes to gain experience and see the situation in the Western Regions."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded: "Very well, you two will use the Grand Void Teleportation Array. The coordinates have been set to a valley near the mine."

The two stepped into the teleportation array, a flash of light, and their figures vanished. The water mirror's screen switched to outside the Western Regions mine. Xuan Chen was directing his subordinates in a fierce assault, while Monk Bukong chanted scriptures nearby, his voice causing the Luowang Assassinss inside the mine to feel dizzy.

"Soul-Snatching Art?" Guo Jing's voice suddenly rang out, and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, carrying formidable Qi, struck towards Monk Bukong. "How can a Buddhist Disciple use such an evil technique!"

Monk Bukong was caught off guard, staggered back three steps from the palm wind, and his robe ripped open. Xuan Chen, seeing this, was furious. He pushed the Heaven Burning Art to its limit, and a fiery palm struck towards Guo Jing's back.

"Your opponent is me." West Gate Blows Snow's voice was like ice falling, his long sword unsheathed, and the sword light of Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens aimed directly at Xuan Chen's throat.

The tide of battle instantly turned. Guo Jing entangled Monk Bukong, the formidable power of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms making the pseudo-Buddhist Cultivation Technique retreat steadily; West Gate Blows Snow completely suppressed Xuan Chen, each sword strike forcing him into a desperate defense with no chance to retaliate.

Inside the underground palace, Jun Xiaoyao watched the battle on the water mirror and said to Yellow Pharmacist: "Daoist Priest, try a medium-range teleportation? Send the 'Sha' group to reinforce and completely wipe out Wanfa Holy Land's enforcement team."

Yellow Pharmacist adjusted the runes, laughing: "This is a good opportunity to test the Formation's load limit."

As the order was given, the valley near the mine once again lit up with purple light. Ten 'Sha' group assassins instantly appeared, firing crossbow bolts in unison, striking down the remaining members of the enforcement team. Xuan Chen, seeing the unfavorable situation, tried to repeat his old trick of escaping into the secret path, but West Gate Blows Snow's sword pierced through his scapula.

"It's over." Jun Xiaoyao turned off the screen. The success of the Grand Void Teleportation Array meant that Beyond Heaven truly possessed the ability for cross-domain combat. He looked at Xuesha, who was still trembling in the interrogation room. "Now, it's time to settle the score between you and Blood Butcher."

Xuesha collapsed to the ground, finally understanding what kind of existence he had provoked. The snow in Hanyue Valley might stop, but The Net's shadow had already enveloped the entire continent with the light of the Grand Void Teleportation Array.

Jun Xiaoyao walked to the entrance of the underground palace, looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the valley.

The Ten Mile Slope on the third day of next month would be a good show—he wanted to see whether Blood Butcher's Demonic Technique was more powerful, or if his summoners from Beyond Heaven were stronger.

The spiritual light of the summoning array flickered behind him, and a new summoning countdown had begun. The resource struggle belonging to Beyond Heaven had just entered its white-hot stage.
