"Alas, such a humorless person. How dull. Off I go. Uncle Wang, your niece takes her leave."
Hua Yue Chang sighed softly, bowed to Wang Chang Ye, and also vanished.
Following Hua Yue Chang's departure, Zhao Ling Er and Hong Shi San also paid their respects to Wang Chang Ye and disappeared one after another.
"Someone who can casually produce billions of top-grade spirit stones must have a significant background. It's a pity we couldn't recruit them." Wang Chang Ye glanced in the direction Li Xuan had left, shook his head slightly, and his figure then merged into the void and vanished.
Wu Xue: "..."
"It seems they've all retreated." Li Xuan was currently on a mountain peak. After sensing carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief and said.
An hour later, when Li Xuan appeared in the sky above the mountain range where he had previously stayed, the expressions of the two changed instantly.
The mountain range below was completely shattered. Within a hundred-mile radius, not a blade of grass grew. The mountain peak where they had previously cultivated had vanished without a trace. Even the formation Li Xuan had set up was now devoid of any spiritual energy.
"A Jin!"
"A Li!"
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he rapidly descended. A vast divine sense then spread out rapidly in all directions.
A moment later, Li Xuan's face turned grim.
Before re-entering Gu Tong City, Li Jin and Li Li had wanted to enter with Li Xuan, but he had ultimately refused. Li Jin and Li Li, not wanting to enter Zhen Yu directly, had been left behind by Li Xuan to play.
Given Li Jin and Li Li's strength, coupled with the formation Li Xuan had set up, Li Xuan hadn't been overly worried. But what was happening now was undoubtedly Li Xuan's greatest fear realized.
Li Xuan clearly sensed that the blood on the ground carried Li Li's aura.
"A Li is injured, but neither A Jin nor A Li were found here. They must have been taken away. And the only ones capable of defeating them both and breaking my formation would be people from the Nine Sects; it's unlikely to be anyone else."
Looking at the faded bloodstains at his feet, Li Xuan suppressed his rage and tried to calm himself to analyze the situation.
"Young Master, why not ask the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth? There is no spirit beast in this world that the Ancestor cannot sense." The voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
"Big Brother, I can't sense their aura either. But their last sensed aura disappeared in that direction." After Li Xuan brought Xiao Bai out, Xiao Bai pointed towards the northeast and said.
Li Xuan took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Since that is the case, then I must make a trip to the Nine Sects."
"Young Master, with your strength, confronting the entire Nine Sects will not be easy. If one of the Nine Sects' leaders were to act, you might not even be able to retreat. This matter requires further deliberation, Young Master."
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao Brush interjected.
Li Xuan frowned and asked, "Little Brush, how long will it take you to repair the formation disk?"
The Heavenly Dao Brush replied, "With the help of the Ancestor, ten days within Zhen Yu."
Li Xuan nodded and then looked at Xiao Bai, saying, "Xiao Bai, I'll trouble you for these ten days."
"Don't worry, Big Brother. I will work twice as hard. You must find those two little ones as soon as possible." Xiao Bai nodded.
The next moment, Xiao Bai returned directly to Zhen Yu.
Time passed in a flash.
"Young Master, it's repaired. As long as you drip your blood to merge with it, you can activate it." The Heavenly Dao Brush came before Li Xuan and said.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. With a thought, he forced out a drop of his vital blood and dripped it onto the formation disk.
Buzz!
With a buzzing sound, the formation disk flickered with a formation light. In an instant, the formation disk merged into Li Xuan's forehead and disappeared.
Li Xuan sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation.
Half an hour passed. Li Xuan's eyes suddenly opened. The formation disk then floated out again before Li Xuan.
The formation disk before Li Xuan emitted a dazzling white light. Then, around the formation disk, a Bagua array diagram instantly emerged.
The Bagua array diagram rapidly transformed, from simple to complex, and from complex to simple, constantly evolving and deducing. Li Xuan did not even blink.
After another hour, all the array diagrams flashed with white light, then reverted to the formation disk, and swiftly shot into Li Xuan's forehead.
A look of joy appeared in Li Xuan's eyes. With a thought, he waved his hand. With just this casual wave, a Level Four Illusion Formation instantly materialized.
"No wonder all formation masters need a formation disk. With the enhancement of the formation disk, the strength of a formation master is truly terrifying!" Li Xuan, having effortlessly conjured a Level Four Illusion Formation, showed a trace of shock in his eyes.
"Next, I will cultivate sword formations. A Jin, A Li, wait for Daddy." Li Xuan collected his thoughts and directly activated the formation disk to begin cultivating sword formations.
Time passed in a flash.
In Zhen Yu, two years had already passed.
One day, a sword light suddenly flashed on Li Xuan's body. Shijian then flew out of Li Xuan's body, a formation abruptly appeared, and then rapidly shrunk to integrate into Shijian.
Ching.
Sword hums echoed, and Shijian's body pulsed with golden light, intensifying its radiance.
At the same time, Li Xuan's eyes opened.
"I never expected it to be truly possible to integrate formations into spirit swords. If Senior Yun Qi were not absent, he would likely have gone even further." Li Xuan's face was filled with emotion. With a thought, he left Zhen Yu.
"Slash!"
Li Xuan willed it, and Shijian directly slashed towards the ground below.
Boom!
With a tremendous roar, a rift in the earth stretching for a hundred miles appeared before Li Xuan's eyes. Wherever it passed, trees and mountain peaks collapsed and shattered.
"What a powerful Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!" Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but swallow. His current Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was only just starting. Once it reached minor or major completion, its power would likely multiply several times over.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was a major killing move from Yun Qi's inheritance. If laid out by a formation master, such a sword formation would be profound and unpredictable, brimming with infinite killing intent and immense danger.
"Xiao Bai, are you sure it's the northeast direction?" After testing the might of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Li Xuan confirmed again.
A moment later, Li Xuan moved, shooting directly towards the northeast. In a few breaths, Li Xuan's figure completely disappeared.
The instant Li Xuan left, Wu Xue's figure appeared on the mountain peak where Li Xuan had been.
When Wu Xue saw the changes below, his pupils involuntarily contracted violently.
"Such terrifying destructive power... could it be him?"
