#424 - Easily eliminated
The trapping formation that Shen Qiong Lin and Mudan created was indeed effective.
Wang Ji Xuan controlled the alien soul, hovering above the great formation, originally intending to interfere with the nine guests from 'Mysterious Group Two'.
Unexpectedly;
He didn't even need to take action.
Mudan was secretly manipulating hundreds of robots, constantly changing their positions with such precision, and sixty percent of these hundreds of robots were backup units.
Regarding the current formation's effectiveness, the 'actual experience participants' had more to say.
Wang Daozhang didn't even need to eavesdrop using spiritual sense secret techniques; the opponents were already shouting incessantly.
"It's a formation! A formation!"
"Nonsense! Do you think I can't see it's a formation? Luo Tianxiang, aren't you a formation grandmaster? Hurry up and break the formation!"
"The formation bases are moving! The formation changes three times in an instant; this humble Daoist can't find the formation gate at all!"
"In the forbidden land of immortals, we were ambushed by the Black Storm and trapped in a formation; we can't defeat it even with all our strength."
Wang Daozhang glanced sideways at the other side.
The four guests from 'Mysterious Group One' were now a bit dumbfounded.
They had already rushed out of the ambush site;
But the ever-changing great formation in front of them not only had a bewildering effect on those inside but also on those outside. Shen Qiong Lin and Mudan had done a lot of homework when designing this great formation.
This was originally a secret weapon specifically designed to deal with Hei Yao and his group, but now it was being pulled out and used ahead of schedule.
Wang Ji Xuan thought for a moment;
He had to think of a way to make the two sides really fight and spill their brains out.
"Mudan?"
Wang Ji Xuan's main body picked up the communicator.
"Chief, Mudan is here."
"Can you let those four people in? Or have the formation cooperate with them a bit?"
Wang Ji Xuan said:
"This trapping formation is a bit interesting; I can see that you and Shen Qiong Lin put a lot of effort into it, but… it's just too strong. They should be used to formations with fixed or slowly changing bases. They can't adapt to our formation that changes position every three seconds."
Mudan pondered for a moment: "Then I'll deliberately sell a flaw and let two people out for them to fight?"
"That'll work," Wang Ji Xuan said, "Let them draw blood from each other first before we can continue talking."
"Yes."
Mudan immediately began to operate.
Mudan simply issued an order, and with the support of the supercomputer array, hundreds of millions of formation calculations were completed in half a second.
This group of mechanical bodies changed their rhythm simultaneously, and two people who had been dispersed and isolated in the trapping formation crashed out of the formation boundary at the same time, facing the four mysterious guests on the periphery.
Four eyes met eight eyes; everyone was dumbfounded.
Then the female A in the four-person group shouted: "Exterminate the demonic members of the Dark Sect!"
The four people decisively took action!
Thunder flashed, earth fire spewed, and heavenly winds raged; the area within a hundred miles instantly changed color!
Then, streamers of light flickered as six figures engaged in a chaotic battle!
Wang Ji Xuan's alien soul watched with excitement.
This was a real battle between cultivators!
These guys' origins were definitely not that simple!
Wang Daozhang wasn't idle either.
His alien soul quietly hid in the dark, waiting for one of the two people to fall.
Don't think it was four against two; the side with fewer people directly fought desperately and even wanted to rush back into the formation, which really took some effort for the side with more people.
Finally.
A middle-aged male cultivator was hit by several streamers of light one after another, and his body directly exploded, and a three-inch-tall 'infant' wanted to escape.
A Nascent Soul!
Wang Ji Xuan was quick-witted and quick-handed; the alien soul shot out, and billowing black gas was thrown from his hand!
Neither side of the fierce battle could react; Wang Daozhang had already captured the cultivator's Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul shouted in horror: "Fellow Daoist! Give me a way out!"
Wang Ji Xuan only gave a cold snort; the alien soul's left arm transformed into a dragon's head and bit down.
With a crunching sound.
The Nascent Soul's head was bitten off directly.
Memories turned into fragments and were directly absorbed by the alien soul.
However, Wang Ji Xuan quickly frowned.
These memory scenes… were either hazy or very abstract; the whole thing was just a mixture of pure fragments.
They really had spells on them to prevent their memories from being窥探.
He had already directly devoured them with demonic techniques, and it still didn't work.
Suddenly, it became quiet next to him.
Wang Daozhang turned his head to look over, made eye contact with the five people who had stopped at the same time, and suddenly smiled grimly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Are you all not fighting anymore? Should I release two more?"
"Attack!"
The female A, the leader of the four-person group, shouted loudly, and the four people attacked at the same time, directly blasting the body of the second person in the nine-person group.
Four against one was a qualitative change caused by a quantitative change compared to two against one.
They also seemed to be worried that the second person's Nascent Soul would be plundered by Wang Ji Xuan's alien soul, so they directly took a ruthless approach, not hesitating to spend a lot of mana to tear the Nascent Soul of the second person in the nine-person group to shreds.
A stream of pure Essence Qi washed the heavens and the earth.
This was the process of a cultivator's own mana returning to nature after death.
Wang Daozhang watched this scene with a smile, signaling the four people to rest for a while.
The male C in the four people took the initiative to step forward and collect the body fragments of the two dead people, collecting noses if they could find noses, and ears, lips, and fingers if they couldn't find noses, in descending order of priority.
Wang Ji Xuan didn't understand what the rules were, he just watched quietly.
After a while, the formation changed, Wang Ji Xuan's alien soul hid again, and two more cultivators from the nine-person group were released.
The members of the four-person group twitched their mouths frantically and couldn't help but transmit their voices and scold:
"This guy is so annoying!"
"What does he take us for!"
"Damn it, seeing him hiding there leisurely, this humble Daoist really wants to drag him over and beat him up!"
Only the female cultivator at the head had a large enough pattern and calmly commented:
"This person is also a talent."
Complaining was still complaining, and the members of the Dark Sect still had to be killed.
The four-person group scolded while ruthlessly attacking the members of the Dark Sect, magic weapons, formations, talismans, and other things flew around one after another, causing the two members of the Dark Sect to be defeated.
Wang Ji Xuan watched carefully from the side.
He used his mind for two purposes, his main body observing the fighting methods of these cultivators, as well as the flaws revealed by each person during the fight.
The alien soul carefully digested the Nascent Soul that had been devoured.
Although those memories were distorted, destroyed, and extremely fragmented, he could still find some impressive and vague keywords.
For example, 'Tian Luo'; this name should be the organization that the four-person group belonged to.
Tian Luo and the Dark Sect were fighting endlessly.
However, apart from this, Wang Ji Xuan still hadn't gained anything.
Wang Ji Xuan had some understanding;
If the problem of the Immortal's Finger could not be solved, he could use the power of Tian Luo and the Dark Sect to try to break open the Immortal Gate in the future.
As for whether to join Tian Luo or the Dark Sect, it didn't make much difference to him.
As for the members of the Dark Sect who died today…
They were killed by the Tian Luo four-person group; what did it have to do with Wang Ji Xuan, who was honest, trustworthy, and a righteous man?
… …
Hei Yao led his subordinates, hiding outside the atmosphere.
His plan had failed again.
Originally, Hei Yao's plan was very complete, including how to attack the city and create chaos, and how to rescue the remaining members of the 'Nine-Person Group' who had been ambushed.
But before he had time to show off his skills, the Black Storm side gave him a lesson.
Formation.
Yes, the 'dynamic great formation' composed of hundreds of mechanical bodies as formation bases, and the four cultivators who jumped out from the dark, made Hei Yao directly give up rescuing the nine people.
Hei Yao had heard the nine-person group say that an opposing force was also looking for the Black Storm.
The purposes of the two sides were different.
The nine-person group wanted to erase the Black Storm and obtain the Black Storm's memory to investigate the secret of the Black Storm's undying death in ancient times.
Their opposing force wanted to take the Black Storm away and imprison it, possibly to make the Black Storm work for them.
Hei Yao had also heard the nine-person group say that the two forces would fight whenever they met, and the nine-person group won more than they lost.
Powerful, needless to say.
But today, on this blue planet that was 'unlucky' for him, the nine-person group seemed to have overturned.
Or a big overturn.
Hei Yao observed the battle situation from afar with his psionic circuit, watching helplessly as the nine-person group lost four people one after another, and watching the Black Storm appear and swallow one of their 'souls'.
Hei Yao frowned tightly.
In this situation, he could only protect himself.
However, Hei Yao also had a way.
He found a psionic circuit that he hadn't used for a long time and began to 'record' the situation that his clone was seeing at this moment.
The pictures recorded by this psionic circuit all came with anti-counterfeiting marks.
The latest and most complete novels are on the Six/Nine/Book/Bar/First/Post!
He asked his subordinates to prepare a space teleportation array, and if he saw something wrong, he would immediately escape far away.
By the way, Hei Yao was already thinking about how to deal with Wang Zheng's endless methods.
He was suppressed technically.
This was what Hei Yao had to admit.
"Leader," an old man asked, "Are we not going to help? There are only five of those mysterious people left below."
"The other side is hiding an unknown amount of combat power in the dark."
Because he was not in the mood to make expressions, Hei Yao responded with a cold and hard face:
"The nine of them plunged into the trap themselves, defeated by their own arrogance. There is no need for us to make too many sacrifices.
"Does anyone have a way to restrain the Black Storm's formation?"
Several old men looked at me, I looked at you, and shook their heads honestly.
Hei Yao sighed softly.
Seeing that the 'recording' he had made was almost enough, Hei Yao didn't wait any longer and waved his hand.
"Let's go, retreat first, lest the Black Storm come to its senses and block us here."
"Leader, are we really not going to save them?"
"Do less things you're not sure about. Waiting for the opponent to make a mistake is the only secret to laughing last."
Black Obsidian snapped his fingers, leading several of his subordinates to quietly leave the area, concealing any trace of their presence.
He even instructed them not to rush into activating the teleportation array, but to fly further away, making it harder to detect any fluctuations before departing.
They came silently and left silently.
As if they were just passing by.
Events proved that Black Obsidian's instincts were indeed sharp.
Just as they left the Earth's outer space perimeter, a surge of black energy erupted from the ground, and the remaining five members of the Dark Sect began attacking wildly in all directions.
The robot formation immediately shifted, adding a defensive array to the confinement array.
Taking advantage of the shift in formation, the Dark Sect's 'leader' shouted angrily:
"How long are you going to keep watching!"
"Help me escape! I'll help you join the Dark Sect!"
Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and the aberrant soul hiding in the shadows immediately began searching.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly remembered something, instructing Mudan to immediately activate the planetary array.
Mudan was hiding in the control room beneath Cloud City—the same place where He Ruli had once concealed herself.
Relying on her immense computational reserves, she had almost completely taken control of Cloud City's formations, and at this moment, she was fully activating Cloud City's spiritual energy clusters.
After eighty years, the planetary array reappeared!
However, this time, the planetary array was not meant to defend against external enemies, but to try and prevent the enemies from escaping.
Unfortunately, Black Obsidian's doppelganger had already slipped away.
Wang Jixuan searched for a long time afterward, but to no avail.
No, it couldn't be said that the search yielded nothing.
At the site of the intense battle on the ground, the four Tianluo members, who had finished recuperating, looked up at the light barrier that had appeared in the sky, their foreheads almost entirely consumed by black lines.
They were a little numb.
This spirit-energy-depleted forbidden land actually…
"Good thing we didn't directly fall out with him," the third man muttered quietly.
Following this, the Tianluo quartet fought even more vigorously.
…
After five intense battles.
With the Dark Sect leader being surrounded and killed by the Tianluo quartet, this straightforward fishing ambush finally came to an end.
Wang Jixuan also didn't attempt to use the dragon-python aberrant soul to devour the Nascent Souls of the other members.
The four Tianluo members, all wounded, found a corner on the ground to sit down and meditate before they could even count their spoils.
Wang Jixuan signaled Wu Man and the others to continue hiding, and the aberrant soul strolled over.
The four of them smiled in unison when they saw him.
However, two of them showed knowing smiles, while the other two had stiff smiles, as if they were just going through the motions.
"How was the harvest, everyone?"
"This is your share," the female cultivator, 'Jia Nu,' tossed over a storage pouch.
Wang Jixuan's aberrant soul reached out and caught it, glancing at the contents inside, discovering only some spirit stones and precious materials for refining artifacts.
There were no cultivation techniques or array talismans.
This should be what they could decide to give away.
Venerable Daoren thanked them with clasped hands.
Jia Nu shook her head with a wry smile: "We should be the ones thanking you.
Killing nine members of the Dark Sect this time is a great gain for us, allowing us to cultivate in peace for ten years without having to leave seclusion."
Wang Jixuan's eyes flickered slightly.
The other party seemed to be intentionally revealing some information.
Wang Jixuan said directly: "This poor Daoist will not beat around the bush.
I only have one question for you, and I hope you can answer honestly."
"Please speak, Daoren."
"In my second life, I passed through the Heavenly Tribulation, withstood the Heavenly Punishment, and entered the Immortal Gate, but I was struck down by a finger, nearly dying and losing my Dao."
"Does the owner of that finger belong to the Dark Sect or the Tianluo?"
The four of them had different expressions.
They seemed very surprised that Wang Jixuan knew the word 'Tianluo'.
They then thought of Wang Jixuan's aberrant soul devouring the Nascent Souls of the Dark Sect members.
Jia Nu pondered for a few moments: "It belongs to neither the Dark Sect nor the Tianluo.
If we are not mistaken, the one who killed Daoren should have many connections with the Dark Sect."
"Then I understand."
Wang Jixuan's aberrant soul nodded and sat down in front of the four of them, saying gently:
"I also want to join the Tianluo organization that you belong to.
Do you think I have a chance?"
Jia Nu seemed to have expected this, and smiled wryly: "We can't make a decision…
Having killed nine Dark Sect members this time, we can already report back.
I can make a recommendation for Daoren, but how the superiors will consider it is beyond my knowledge."
"I yearn for progress," Wang Jixuan said seriously.
Jia Nu said with a smile: "Daoren simply yearns to ascend."
"Who doesn't?"
Wang Jixuan sighed softly, a hint of melancholy in his eyes:
"This poor Daoist has cultivated for three lives, once failing a beauty, and once failing the grace of my teacher, only to fulfill the long-cherished wish of ascending and becoming an immortal."
Jia Nu said in a low voice: "Are we not struggling desperately for this now?
I never thought that Daoren had already passed through the Heavenly Tribulation.
Is the Heavenly Tribulation easy to pass?"
Wang Jixuan pondered for a few moments: "This information requires Daoren to exchange ten pieces of confidential information for it."
Jia Nu couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The other three laughed at the same time.
Wang Jixuan smiled and said: "Honest and fair, I am too fair."
"Hmph," Jia Nu snorted, not saying much, "We will leave after we finish healing.
We will return here in about three months…
Daoren, please be careful.
Whether it is the Dark Sect or us Tianluo, once we have arrived in an area, we can teleport directly to it later."
Wang Jixuan nodded: "Then I will, wait for good news."
