Chapter 92: Formation Deployment

Although the little girl in red didn't get along well with Zuoqiu Lianzhu, she didn't argue with her on this matter. She had secretly entered the Xinze Secret Realm this time to obtain the Tianji Xuelong Grass to treat Cui Yayun and Gong Haorang.

Despite her young age, the little girl in red had a deep affection for the Xuanjian Sect. For the sake of the sect, she was willing to take great risks.

"Junior Brother Chu, please feel free to make any requests, and we will do our best to cooperate," Tan Youxin also seized the opportunity to express her stance.

With Chu Jianqiu and Zuoqiu Lianzhu, two major disciples of the Fourth Peak, present, if they could establish a relationship with them, the chances of entering the Fourth Peak in the future would greatly increase. How could Tan Youxin miss such a good opportunity?

Upon hearing this, Zuoqiu Lianzhu glanced at Tan Youxin, her eyes revealing satisfaction. This woman was indeed sensible.

Chu Jianqiu looked at the hundreds of disciples gathered at the foot of the mountain and said to Zuoqiu Lianzhu, "Let the others leave here first, except for the necessary ones."

Without a word, Zuoqiu Lianzhu ordered the disciples to leave, leaving only about twenty behind and driving the rest away.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu understood that Chu Jianqiu was thinking of these people's lives. Once the Tianji Xuelong Grass was obtained, the beast would surely go mad and start a massacre. These people being here would not only be useless but would also risk their lives.

These were almost all the elite inner disciples of the Xuanjian Sect. If they suffered heavy casualties under the hands of this Sea Transformation Realm beast, it would severely weaken the Xuanjian Sect, making it even more impossible to complete the sect's mission to stop the Blood Fiend Sect from collecting the Blood Fiend Mystic Liquid.

The disciples, not understanding the situation, were resentful when Zuoqiu Lianzhu suddenly ordered them to leave. Although they dared not disobey due to Zuoqiu Lianzhu's authority, they all blamed Chu Jianqiu, as Zuoqiu Lianzhu had listened to him and ordered them to leave.

"Damn, where did this waste of space come from? Why should I leave when I'm here just fine?"

"He may be a waste of space, but he has the backing of Zuoqiu Lianzhu. He's just showing off his influence to make himself feel important."

"Damn, what's wrong with Zuoqiu Lianzhu? How could she favor such a waste of space? I'm so talented and outstanding, I'm a hundred times better than that pretty boy, and she can't even see it. Her judgment is really poor."

"If I ever meet that pretty boy alone, I'll teach him a lesson. He's being too arrogant. Does he think this Xuelong Mountain belongs to him?"

...

With Zuoqiu Lianzhu's cultivation level, she naturally heard these comments. Her face turned fierce, and she was about to give those who were gossiping a lesson.

These people were truly ungrateful. She was thinking of their lives, but they were disrespectful.

The little girl in red, seeing Zuoqiu Lianzhu's angry face, felt a sense of satisfaction. Zuoqiu Lianzhu, you have your day too, for always bullying others.

Zhao Gaochi and Ji Zhixin, upon hearing Chu Jianqiu's words, felt as if they had been granted a reprieve. They thought Chu Jianqiu would take the opportunity to seek revenge and use them as cannon fodder to attract the Sea Transformation Realm beast.

Now, hearing Chu Jianqiu's words, they immediately turned and left, without any hesitation, not even caring about their leaders, Bu Feiyue and Yan Junbi.

Bu Feiyue and Yan Junbi, however, looked as if they had seen death. With their cultivation levels, they were naturally left behind to deal with the Sea Transformation Realm beast.

Looking at the departing disciples, they felt incredibly envious. For the first time, they felt that their cultivation levels were a burden.

In the past, they were proud of their rankings among the inner disciples, but today, they wished their names were not on the inner disciples' ranking list.

After the disciples were far from Xuelong Mountain, Zuoqiu Lianzhu looked at Chu Jianqiu and asked, "What's next?"

Chu Jianqiu did not answer immediately. He silently untied the bag on his back and took out several strange objects.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu, seeing these strange objects, was surprised. These strange objects were actually formation plates!

Although Zuoqiu Lianzhu was not very familiar with formations, she recognized these as the foundation of setting up a formation—formation plates.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu watched as Chu Jianqiu methodically placed the formation plates in a mysterious pattern, forming a complex formation. She was deeply impressed.

Looking at this junior brother with a relatively low cultivation level, Zuoqiu Lianzhu suddenly felt that Chu Jianqiu was incredibly unfamiliar and mysterious.

She thought she had understood Chu Jianqiu well enough, but now she realized that her understanding of him was just the tip of the iceberg.

This junior brother not only had strength far exceeding his apparent cultivation level, but his meticulous thinking and deep wisdom were far beyond that of ordinary people.

Most importantly, he was also proficient in the art of talismans and formations.

When Chu Jianqiu first took out the Flash Escape Talismans, Zuoqiu Lianzhu thought he had just had some lucky encounters and obtained these miraculous talismans by chance.

But when Chu Jianqiu used these talismans with such nonchalance, Zuoqiu Lianzhu had already guessed that these talismans might be made by Chu Jianqiu himself.

Now, seeing Chu Jianqiu take out these formation plates, Zuoqiu Lianzhu was even more surprised.

Formations were even more profound and difficult to understand than talismans. Although the two had some similarities, mastering both was no easy task. It required not only outstanding talent but also extraordinary diligence.

After placing the formation plates, Chu Jianqiu lightly brushed his sleeves, and a mysterious aura rose from the area where the plates were placed, but it quickly returned to normal, leaving no trace of any difference from the surroundings.

After completing everything, Chu Jianqiu clapped his hands and said, "Alright, let's get to work!" He then took out a handful of Flash Escape Talismans from his pocket and distributed them to everyone.

Facing the Sea Transformation Realm beast, even with everyone working together, it was still extremely dangerous. With these Flash Escape Talismans, they would have more security.

Chu Jianqiu wanted these people to assist him, so he couldn't let them die. He had to give them some means to protect themselves.

Seeing that Chu Jianqiu seemed to have an endless supply of Flash Escape Talismans, the others were both delighted and envious when they received the talismans. Their eyes turned red with jealousy, wishing they could take all the talismans from Chu Jianqiu.

However, they only dared to think about it. Not only were there formidable figures like Zuoqiu Lianzhu and the violent Tang Ningxin standing nearby, but even with the many talismans Chu Jianqiu had, they couldn't easily harm him.

If Chu Jianqiu used a Flash Escape Talisman to escape, they wouldn't be able to touch him, and they would face the Fourth Peak's fierce retaliation.

So, even though they were extremely envious of the talismans Chu Jianqiu had, they could only think about it.
