It read: "Are you lost?"
In the outer maze of Little Qiong Peak's Pill Chamber.
A group of demons in human form stared at the wooden tablet in front of them. Their numb faces twitched.
The wretched human qi-trainers, who should have been sliced into pieces, had actually lured them into a maze!
He could still see their figures just now, but now, they were nowhere to be seen.
At the front, the old demon who was in the Heaven Immortal realm squinted his narrow eyes and casually smashed the wooden tablet in front of him.
"Come out!"
A female demon shouted. There was no reaction from the surroundings.
The demonic energy in the old demon who shattered the wooden tablet surged. Rays of light-yellow streams of light erupted around him.
A strong gust of wind blew over, instantly dispersing the array formation.
The surroundings suddenly became clear. Their immortal senses that had been blocked earlier could immediately detect everything in the surroundings...
Almost at the same time, the demons saw a burly human drinking water leisurely under a tree in the distance...
It seemed that... he had gotten thirsty after scolding them.
The demons were instantly enraged!
Even the Blood Mosquito's mental control was almost broken by the exasperation!
The burly man seemed to have reacted a little slower. When he heard the rumbling sounds and looked up, he shivered and looked anxious.
"You little demons! You actually found me!"
With that, he carried the huge ax and ran back.
The fire was almost pouring out of the demons' eyes. They threw their Dharma treasures and divine powers in front of them and fiercely took chase!
Demonic power erupted from their bodies, and they looked ferocious.
The two old demons at the front were in the Heaven Immortal realm!
The female demon on the left was plump, and a piercing green light erupted from her body. Her white arms turned into a pair of green wings.
She spread her wings and stood on one leg. Two hundred kilograms of green feathers flew forwards in front of her!
The old demon, who had just broken through the maze, had a cunning-looking, black-furred deer head. With a casual sweep, black sand surged out from his body, forming pitch-black swords that shot towards the back of the burly man!
However, just as the burly man took a few steps forward, he suddenly roared and pounced forward. His entire body strangely disappeared...
The green feathers, black swords, and the dozens of rays of light behind them disappeared at the same time. They were nowhere to be found!
Array formation!
Traces that resembled water ripples suddenly appeared all over the forest. The demons reacted quickly and immediately rushed to the sky.
However, as soon as they left the ground, their vision blurred. They rushed into the starry sky at the same time. In an instant, the world spun and they lost their direction. They did not know where to go!
Before they could do anything, they were filled with shining stars!
The Blood Mosquito puppets were puzzled as well.
We have clearly just encountered an ordinary and basic array formation, but why did it suddenly appear in this form after we took a few steps forward? It became a high-level array formation that even the old Heaven Immortal demon could not see through!
Why would this inconspicuous peak have such a mysterious array?
Behind the stars, there seemed to be pairs of eyes watching them...
It was as if a group of demon-eating ogres was hiding in the starlight. At the same time, hundreds of strong, murderous, and emotionless witches were brewing their murderous aura!
Two Perfected Immortal realm demons looked at each other after which they immediately looked left and right.
However, just as they took two steps forward and ended up at a spot that was only four feet away from their original position, two inconspicuous stars flashed gently, and two rays of light that reflected off the blade appeared strangely in front of their necks...
At the next moment, two heads were tossed up into the sky and the demons' blood splattered everywhere!
Another bolt of lightning struck, and the Demonic essence soul in the two corpses instantly shattered!
What made the demons even more terrified was that the two corpses had transformed into half-human and half-demon forms. However, the demonic powers in the corpses were instantly sucked out by the array formation!
Those demons did not dare to move anymore...
The two Heaven Immortal realm demons immediately attacked. They bombarded the surrounding starry sky and unleashed their demonic powers in a frenzy. However, their attacks did not bring about any response at all...
However, if they did not move, the killing array formations would not be able to be activated for the time being. That did not mean that they would be safe for the time being.
Wisps of colorless and odorless poisonous powder drifted under the starlight and found every great demon.
In an instant, a few demons with lower cultivation levels rolled their eyes and fainted.
One after another, the demons fainted immediately. The two Heaven Immortals only lasted for two more breaths before roaring in indignation and slowly collapsing...
Outside the array formation, Li Changshou was sitting on a branch of a big tree, while stowing away the porcelain bottles.
The thirty-six array foundations in Little Qiong Peak slowly converged their spiritual power.
The killing array, called the 'Thousand Battles of Stars', had returned to a state of standby.
Compared to the poisonous pills, Li Changshou was more concerned about the consumption of spiritual energy in the array foundation. After all, the killing array at the Little Qiong Peak had to be used back and forth on that day.
When the array formation closed, layers of ripples appeared in the air.
Strange-looking demon corpses appeared out of thin air. They fell from the sky and formed a pile.
Most of them appeared to be half-human and half-demon. At that moment, their souls had been corroded by the second wave of poison...
Li Changshou mumbled, "It's better to release the poison personally so that I won't waste the poisonous properties."
Three paper dolls jumped out of the paper effigy' sleeve and transformed into three sullen-faced old Daoists. They charged forward skillfully...
Due to the fact that there were too many paper effigies that he had to control at the same time, the battle situation was pressing. The next batch of "customers" were being lured over. The follow-up could only be simple.
The paper dolls poured out three bottles of Bone Erosion Divine Water and threw out two Soul-Bewitching Pearls...
Li Changshou "personally" threw out two shots of True Samadhi Flames. The demon corpses, which had lost most of their defensive power, were instantly engulfed by the True Samadhi Flames.
In order to protect the Little Qiong Peak's environment, the three paper dolls carefully controlled the range of the True Samadhi Flames and began to recite sutras.
All of a sudden, the sound of mosquitoes appeared in the forest.
Li Changshou was already prepared. Tiny electric arcs immediately appeared around the paper effigies!
However, before the Blood Mosquito could get close to Li Changshou, a long tongue stuck out from a nearby tree branch. It caught the Blood Mosquito accurately and pulled it aside.
Croak...
The Jade Frog, that was lying on the tree branch, called out to Li Changshou softly as if it was asking for credit.
All over the forest, the sounds of frogs croaking could be heard...
Li Changshou felt that it was a pity. He had originally wanted to test if the 'Lightning Mosquito Web' had any effect.
You're even asking for credit eh...
I'll fry you after the fight!
Li Changshou turned around and jumped off the tree branch. He then added another shot of True Flames.
After a while, the corpses were burned to ashes. With a hard slap of his hand, the ashes scattered everywhere.
It felt comfortable...
"I earned some merit again."
It's good even though compared to the incense offerings he had accumulated by "accidentally", that amount of karma-repelling merit is considered very small...
The three sullen-faced old Daoists quickly cleaned up the battlefield, returned to their paper doll forms, and jumped back into the sleeves of the burly paper effigy.
Li Changshou looked at the destroyed forest in front of him and felt a little regretful.
Many of the trees were planted after he went up the mountain...
Forget it. In order to protect the sect, making some sacrifices is inevitable.
If the Immortal Du Sect can make it through this time, I'll secretly go to other peaks and steal some spirit wood and roots after the battle. I'll just treat it as a reward from the sect...
He chuckled and ran to the outer boundary of the maze. Then, he hung a new wooden sign that read "Are you lost?"
Then, the burly man patted his face and sprayed some blood belonging to the spiritual beasts, onto his body.
He ripped off his clothes and shook his long hair. His aura became chaotic and it was as if he was seriously injured. He was strong on the outside but weak on the inside...
He returned to his usual arrogant and domineering self. Carrying his huge ax, he jumped into the air and rushed towards the Heaven-Splitting Peak while continuing to yell.
"Ahahaha!"
"You brats! Your grandfather, I, am back again!"
"If you have what it takes, fight me head-on!"
"Those useless things have all been destroyed by my Dharma treasures! Hahahaha!"
On the Little Qiong Peak, the outer array formation that had been blown apart earlier was recovering on its own.
The array foundations that were hidden deep inside emitted light once again. With the help of the deeper array formations, they slowly returned to their correct positions.
The real Chain Array formation was not as simple as just adding one link to another.
Under the outer layer of the array, there was a deep layer of array formations that could maintain and repair the outer layer.
Not long after the burly paper effigy left, the entire forest was just like before. From the outside, it looked exactly the same as before...
However, it was inevitable that some parts of it were affected by the mystical abilities, leaving some traces behind.
After a while, another two figures rushed to the Little Qiong Peak from another direction. Of course, they were the other two paper effigies who were luring the enemy.
The same scene took place again.
The female paper effigy deliberately let herself get hit by the Dharma treasure that flew behind her and fell downwards.
The paper effigy carrying the sword hurriedly took flight while the dozen or so figures behind him immediately chased after him.
At the edge of the array formation, a few people sensed danger and stopped in their tracks.
However, the male effigy's actions quickly attracted their attention...
The male paper effigy pushed his "junior" into the forest, turned around, and faced his enemies. He gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.
"Don't force me to draw my sword!"
The group of pursuers could not hold themselves back. One of them took the lead and moved together.
...
In a narrow and dark corner, Li Changshou felt that if someone saw his expression, they might think that he was crazy.
He would occasionally look serious and righteous.
Occasionally, he would smile and curse.
Occasionally, he would smile coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.
In terms of acting chops...
Actually, it was because Li Changshou had to be careful of every single detail such as the aura and expression of every paper effigy...
The three paper cultivators took turns to lure the enemies around the Heaven-Breaking Peak. The Little Qiong Peak's array formation played a crucial role. It kept the enemies within the array formation, preventing them from looking outside. They would then be destroyed by killing arrays and poisonous pills.
Although his main body was no longer in the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou was doing his best.
So far, not considering the result of the sneak attack launched together with Elder Wan Linyun, more than one-third of the enemy's combat strength had been destroyed by Li Changshou through the Poison Array, Poison Arrows, self-detonating paper dolls and the paper effigies that lured the enemies. That helped to relieve the immense pressure on the Immortal Du Sect!
In fact, he had even become the factor that changed the outcome!
There was no such thing as a balance in the Primordial World...
Although the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect had made guesses, no one knew anything about the troops that were giving aid, other than Elder Wan Linyun.
At the same time, Li Changshou had to focus his attention on his junior.
An old Daoist in the Heaven Immortal realm and a demonic roc in the Perfected Immortal realm were heading towards the east to attack the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect who had previously used the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array to escape.
That piece of news was also relayed by the Grand Elder to the elders in charge of the external affairs, who were protecting the disciples.
However, there were more than a thousand disciples there. How could they move safely?
At that moment, everyone in the valley, which was originally as beautiful as a painting, was in a state of panic. Many disciples looked terrified.
To them, it was definitely not good news for a Heaven Immortal to be chasing them.
Hence...
Youqin Xuanya stood up again!
"Elders, I am willing to lure away powerful enemies!"
"No!"
A Perfected Immortal who was in charge of the external affairs shouted, "How can we stay safe and let our young disciples risk their lives outside!?!"
"Elder Tian, you and I will fight that evil thief!"
"Alright!" Another elder stood up. The two of them immediately rose into the sky.
At that moment, a slightly uneasy voice came from the crowd."Why can't we use the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array to send two Heaven Immortal realm experts to the sect?"
Everyone turned to look at the voice. It was Ling'e.
Many people were enlightened. What Ling'e suggested was indeed a good idea.
However, a small number of disciples revealed a bitter smile.
The people smiling bitterly were the last batch of disciples to use the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array.
Actually, there should have been hundreds of people from the Essence Immortal realm who had teleported over together. However, those people who had already become immortals chose to stay in the sect at the last minute...
In order to prevent the disciples' whereabouts from being exposed, the Essence Immortals destroyed the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array, cutting off their own escape routes.
After the few of them explained in a low voice, the disciples became excited!
"We'll just fight with them here!"
"Yes!"
"My teacher is still fighting and killing enemies in the sect. We can't die in vain!"
"At most, my soul will be destroyed. In any case, I feel that I won't be able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Li Changshou frowned secretly. This situation was extremely disadvantageous for him.
Fortunately, Youqin Xuanya was there.
Li Changshou pulled his junior and whispered a few words into her ear. The two of them walked towards Youqin Xuanya.
The following plan was to make use of Youqin Xuanya's status and prestige...
He was really not a tool.
