Chapter 94

"Clan leader, how did you think of setting up the formation in advance?" Ji Liuzhen couldn't help but ask.

This was also the confusion of Ji Ning and the others. No one had seen the clan leader set up the formation in advance, and when the Zifu cultivators from Snow Dragon Mountain came over... they didn't even give them time to set up a formation.

Ji Jiuhuo glanced at everyone, "When looking at things, one must look far ahead. I briefly investigated the spirit stone vein and found it to be on a large scale, fearing it would attract the greedy hearts of Snow Dragon Mountain. Thus, I began to be wary of Snow Dragon Mountain! They might come to force us, so I set up a large formation around us early on. If they don't act, then it's fine; if they do, we will have the upper hand. As for not telling you? If I had told you, and you knew that a large formation was set up around us, would you still be so indignant and angry? You might have quickly been found out by the people of Snow Dragon Mountain."

"Hmm." Ji Ning and the others nodded.

However, Ji Ning also understood...

Saying it out loud wasn't actually a secret, but when they were all shocked by the spirit stone vein, no one thought to set up a formation first. This was a matter of experience and training!

"Regardless, what I did is also a betrayal to the ancestors of the Ji clan, putting the Ji clan in danger," Ji Jiuhuo said solemnly. "I didn't want to choose this path, but by choosing it, we are directly confronting Snow Dragon Mountain. The Ji clan must sign a contract with the Xia Dynasty as soon as possible. Once the contract is signed, it will ensure the safety of the Ji clan for a thousand years. In a thousand years, I believe the Ji clan can rise again. Even if we remain weak, a thousand years will be enough for the Ji clan to make its own arrangements."

"Now..."

"We will kill them, one by one. The more we kill, the less pressure on the Ji clan." Ji Jiuhuo's gaze swept over everyone, including Grandma Ying, Old Servant Awaking, Ji Liuzhen, Ji Yichuan, and Ji Ning, who were the top combatants of the Ji clan. "I, Little Ying, Awaking, and Ji Ning, the four of us will go and kill the He Fang siblings! Liuzhen and Yichuan, you two deal with Jusan."

"Yes."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Grandma Ying then asked, "What about Dong Ziqi? He is a great menace and must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"He has already joined Mu Si," Ji Jiuhuo said. "We will deal with them last."

"Let's go! I will guide you through the mist." Ji Jiuhuo immediately moved forward, and Grandma Ying, Awaking, and Ji Ning followed. These four were the strongest of the Ji clan. The mist in front of Ji Liuzhen and Ji Yichuan automatically formed a path, and they quickly advanced along it.

...

Inside the formation.

Dong Ziqi's face was cold. "To fall into the hands of that old villain." Eight black crystal spheres appeared around him, each the size of a head, with faint dragon shadows moving inside. His black robe with a blood-red octagon immediately emitted a blood-red glow.

The blood-red glow also enveloped the eight black crystal spheres.

"Roar!"

Gigantic blood-red dragon shadows appeared around Dong Ziqi, a total of eight blood-red dragon shadows, playing with each other and continuously moving within the formation.

"Junior brothers and sisters, stay far away and don't move," Dong Ziqi shouted, while controlling his Octagon Blood Dragon Formation to expand continuously.

The Octagon Blood Dragon Formation kept expanding, making the range of the eight blood-red dragon shadows expand even more, quickly reaching a hundred zhang, directly enveloping Mu Si, who was not too far away. Such a large formation expanding in all directions... even a maze formation couldn't confuse them!

"Senior Brother Ziqi," the gray-robed man Mu Si said in surprise, as he was already enveloped in the Octagon Blood Dragon Formation.

"What about the other junior brothers and sisters?" Dong Ziqi looked around.

"No," Mu Si shook his head. "Only I have touched the Octagon Blood Dragon Formation."

Dong Ziqi gritted his teeth and shouted, "I am with Junior Brother Mu Si. He Fang and He Xing, you two be careful. And Jusan, protect yourself."

"Rest assured."

"We, the siblings, are not afraid of them."

"If they want to kill me, I will take them down with me."

Three voices came.

"Damn it," Dong Ziqi said unwillingly. "Falling into this old villain's trap, otherwise, the five of us together, how could the Ji clan dare to bully us? I alone could wipe out most of them. Junior Brother Mu Si, your Eternal Green Vine Technique is quite profound. If you use it, can you break through this maze formation?"

"Very difficult," Mu Si shook his head. "Even if I can break through, it will take a long time, and my essence energy might not be enough."

"Use it anyway," Dong Ziqi said. "I have a bottle of Essence Recovery Pills for you."

"Alright," Mu Si gritted his teeth. "Then the defense is up to you, Senior Brother."

Dong Ziqi said confidently, "As long as you are in my Octagon Blood Dragon Formation, even if they all attack together... I am not afraid. I just fear they won't come! Damn it, if I had known, I would have started killing them directly. Now, I can't even find them to kill." He alone was as strong as the other four junior brothers and sisters combined, but it was a pity that he had no place to use his strength.

"Rise."

Mu Si stood there, and a seed fell to the ground.

Whoosh!

The seed suddenly sprouted a large number of vines, spreading wildly in all directions.

"The maze formation confuses the senses," Mu Si said solemnly. "My green vines will also be affected by the maze formation, making it hard to determine direction. However, these vines will continue to spread to new areas... covering new regions. If they can grow endlessly, they will eventually cover the entire maze formation and even grow beyond it. My mind is also integrated into the vines, and as soon as any vine leaves the formation, I will sense it."

"But I don't know how large this formation is. For every tenfold increase in range, my vines need to grow a hundredfold. The further on, the more astonishing my essence energy consumption will be." Mu Si was not confident.

"Let's fight," Dong Ziqi gritted his teeth. "Being trapped like this, we can only be at their mercy."

"Alright." Mu Si said no more and exerted all his strength in the spell.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Countless vines grew wildly, but in the maze formation, direction was hard to determine, and the vines grew randomly. However, one thing was certain... they spread to areas without vines! Continuously covering new regions.

******

In another place.

Ji Ning, Ji Jiuhuo, and the others were there.

"The He Fang siblings are ahead," Ji Jiuhuo said. "I will attack first, then the mist will part, and you will see them. Each of you should attack with lethal force."

"Alright." Ji Ning nodded.

Whoosh!

Over seven hundred sword treasures appeared around Ji Ning, each emitting a faint white light. The sword treasures undulated slightly, drawing the power of heaven and earth to gather. Ji Ning's true essence also transformed through these sword treasures, gathering into a dazzling white sword beam in front of him.

The Ninth Level of the Lesser Thousand Sword Formation!

"Such a sharp sword beam." Ji Jiuhuo, Grandma Ying, and Old Servant Awaking were all surprised, even though they hadn't touched it, they could sense the sharpness of the sword beam.

Grandma Ying pointed remotely, and three flying swords floated in front of her, each with a faint fire glow.

Next to her, Old Servant Awaking raised his hand, and a large black hammer appeared in his hand.

"Go." Ji Jiuhuo waved his hand, and a colorful flying sword shot out. Ji Jiuhuo was known for his poisons and formations... this flying sword, although a rank-entering treasure, was essentially a poison sword.

...

Thirty zhang in front of Ji Ning were the He Fang siblings. They were also using talismans, and both were enveloped in a golden glow. Two treasures were floating around them, one resembling an iron rod and the other a peculiar vase.

"We can't see around us; they will definitely ambush us. Be careful," the green-haired man He Fang said sternly.

"Alright." His sister He Xing was also on high alert.

Suddenly—

A colorful flying sword descended instantly, incredibly fast. However, the ever-vigilant He Fang siblings immediately used their techniques.

"Whoosh~~~" Suddenly, a large amount of green water spewed from the floating vase, forming a curtain that was incredibly resilient. When the colorful flying sword pierced the water curtain, its speed was greatly reduced.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Three flying swords with a fiery glow also shot through the air, precisely Grandma Ying's three flying sword treasures.

The He Fang siblings' faces changed drastically as they began to resist with all their might, but the water curtain was starting to struggle to hold.

"Boom!" A massive black hammer was even more powerful, directly piercing through the unstable water curtain and then smashing into the golden glow around He Xing, causing it to tremble as if about to shatter.

"Not good."

"Quick, run. We are sitting ducks here." He Fang and He Xing were panicked by the continuous attacks, clearly facing several opponents.

Whoosh!

A dazzling sword beam instantly drew an arc, leaving a beautiful trail, and instantly pierced through the trembling golden glow around He Xing...
