Chapter 101 Someone is up to something
The scene descended into chaos. Some recruits, in their extreme fear, completely ignored the shouts around them and didn't hear the orders at all. Others were already preparing to run away, but were kicked back by several instructors.
There was even a time when an instructor tried to escape but was caught and brought back.
Thank goodness this isn't a battlefield, otherwise every single one of those who retreated would have been hacked to pieces by the supervisory team.
The crimson flames flowing into the gap in the great formation were like a waterfall, which was incredibly awe-inspiring at first glance. In just a few breaths, the flames flowed through the gate, creating a heat wave. Even those on the mountaintop felt a significant increase in temperature.
Just then, a blue figure suddenly jumped down from the disc above and fell straight into the sea of fire.
"It's Yuan Xuzi! Yuan Xuzi has made his move!"
A powerful cultivator, renowned among the Golden Core stage soldiers, is rushing towards the sea of fire at a speed of nine hundred miles per hour!
He stopped; he hovered above the sea of fire.
He was taking out his storage bag. What kind of powerful magical artifact would he use to end all of this?
It's white, a white spherical object. Could it be the Heavenly Yuan Pearl? No, he's still rummaging through his storage bag!
It was a long black pole. I had never heard of him having such a magical artifact before. Could it be a brand new weapon he had prepared for this mission?
He did it; he stuck the white thing onto the long pole.
start.....
烤？
Ok?
Yuan Xuzi stood in mid-air, skimming across the sea of fire as if fishing, then shouted towards the sky:
"Honey! Want some barbecue?"
"I'll eat your big head!"
"Then I won't bake it for you."
Yuan Xuzi flicked his sleeve, and the vast sea of fire was extinguished instantly.
Everyone stared in disbelief. Was this the effortless grace of a true powerhouse?
With a flash of blue light, the blurry figure returned to the sky. Half a breath later, it crashed back to the earth at dozens of times the speed.
Why didn't you give me the first bite? Don't you love me anymore!
The new recruits shrank back, keeping their eyes down, noses down, mouths down, and minds down.
We didn't see or hear anything. We were focused on maintaining the operation of the formation, and it had nothing to do with us.
What kind of monster is capable of beating Yuan Xuzi so badly? Could it be that a Nascent Soul cultivator is keeping him... oops, I mean, giving him special treatment?
As Zhong Ming poured spiritual energy into the great formation, he felt the terrifying heat wave of the Nascent Soul level. Even a trace of residual heat made them, who were in the Qi Refining stage, extremely uncomfortable. If they were to withstand a direct attack, how many Qi Refining stage cultivators would need to be drained dry?
How effective is it for them to pour spiritual energy into the great formation? It's probably not even as effective as Yuan Xuzi's casual strike just now.
If Yuan Xuzi was able to free his hands, why didn't he inject spiritual power earlier? Even if, according to common sense, the great cultivators need to maintain their peak combat power and let the cannon fodder go first, the purpose of maintaining combat power is to maintain the great formation and turn the tide in case of unexpected situations. But even the Qi Refining stage cultivators saw the giant dragon coming, didn't they inject spiritual power to increase its strength?
It’s weird.
.....
On the disc, exquisite ornaments lay scattered about, jewels and glass shattered on the ground, and several powerful cultivators were injured. The only one who was uninjured had just jumped up from below.
Yuan Xuzi stepped into the room and touched the white fox spirit that was secretly hiding to the side. The white fox had cultivated to the point that it could speak. It was his spirit pet and also the voice that had just impersonated his wife.
"Is everything stable?" An old woman was half-lying on the ground, surrounded by a pile of bottles and jars, as she was swallowing pills whole.
"It's stable. No cultivators have noticed anything unusual. I've collected all the fragments."
While inspecting the surrounding array patterns, Yuan Xuzi cleared out a space.
"The spiritual energy is disordered, it will take some time. We need to use the backup resources." An elderly man who looked to be in his eighties said, clutching his chest. His injuries were serious, and he had almost passed away.
After receiving permission, Yuan Xuzi took down the storage bag hanging on the wall, infused it with spiritual power, and poured it into a large fireplace-shaped hole in the wall.
Countless high-grade spirit stones mixed with top-grade spirit stones gushed out like a fountain.
After doing all this, the white fox also cleared out a clean area.
Yuan Xuzi poured what he had just retrieved onto the floor. It was countless fragments of "jade tablets," their colors as beautiful as pearls from the deep sea, and they looked absolutely stunning.
He stretched out his hands, his fingers moved slightly, and strands of spiritual energy flowed and connected to different fragments. He moved his fingers like a shadow puppeteer, and soon pieced together the original appearance of the "jade tablet".
Upon closer inspection, this was a piece of the floating "shell" that had been commonly seen a few days ago—a defensive plate revealed during the preheating of the grand formation. However, there was a huge pit in the very center, from which countless cracks spread, causing the entire jade plate to shatter.
“This was breached from within. Without a doubt, these are signs of an internal explosion. There are at least two traitors.” Yuan Xuzi’s eyes were deep as he looked down at Jishui Mountain.
Just now, a traitor, an traitor from an unknown force, suddenly reversed his cultivation method when all the Golden Core cultivators were channeling their spiritual energy into the great formation. He used some unknown means to directly absorb the spiritual energy of the great formation, and then his body exploded violently due to absorbing too much spiritual energy, almost injuring all the cultivators present.
At the same moment, the great formation was also destroyed. If Yuan Xuzi had been seriously injured at this time, the mine would now have been burned to the ground.
The fire dragon will burn away all traces, and no one will know which force was responsible. A stronghold along the river was easily wiped out.
"Damn it, it's definitely not the barbarians. They wouldn't cause trouble in the north. It's unlikely that the monsters are here either. Those extreme egoists wouldn't come up and self-destruct."
"Could it be the opposition or a cult? That shouldn't be the case; they have no motive."
The opposition has long been wiped out. Even if they bombed the capital, let alone the strongholds, they still wouldn't be able to seize power. The Chen family's two Nascent Soul cultivators have them firmly under control.
"It's the enemy from the north. It seems someone doesn't want the Twin Dragons to succeed and is preparing to make a move at a crucial moment. So they're eliminating our stronghold to cut off any possibility of reinforcements. It seems the place they want to cause trouble isn't far from here."
"It seems we've been too lenient with them. We need to slaughter them a few more times to teach them a lesson."
After some discussion, the group decided to have Yuan Xuzi and the uninjured puppet spirit pets guard the area, while the Golden Core cultivators needed to recover as quickly as possible. The emergency plan was fully activated, with half of the troops holding their posts and the other half searching for the traitor.
The Golden Core cultivator who self-destructed had been traveling with them the whole time, so someone else must have planted the explosives.
