Ruan Jingtian put away Dan Lei and began discussing the details of their plan with Qin Xiaotian and the others. They showed no signs of avoiding Xunuo's presence. Xunuo realized that their blatant disregard meant he would not have a chance to escape before the operation began, and it wouldn't be long before they acted.
After a brief discussion, Xunuo suddenly spoke up, "Last time I obtained the four wings of the Crimson Fire Ant King and asked Cao Dao You to reforge the Against the Wind Boat. However, after it was reforged, it mysteriously disappeared. Does anyone know what happened?"
Without hesitation, Qin Xiaotian replied, "It's most likely in Lin Jianfeng's hands."
Xi Dao Jing added, "It definitely is with him. The Against the Wind Boat is the only Flying Artifact that can help us escape from him. He won't tolerate anything in Chaotic Valley that isn't under his control."
Xunuo had suspected as much. Hearing Xi Dao Jing's certainty made him feel frustrated. "Damn it," he muttered, falling silent again.
The group continued to discuss for half a day until they finally arranged all the details.
Although Xunuo had no say in the matter, he understood one crucial point: this operation was predicated on there being only one Foundation Establishment Stage Valley Master, Lin Jianfeng, in Chaotic Valley. The other two Valley Masters had already fallen. However, this premise was merely conjectured by Xi Dao Jing and the others.
As a newcomer in Chaotic Valley, Xunuo knew very little about its secrets. Yet as an observer, he picked up on some underlying implications. The Black Dragon Society was particularly resolute about this plan to lure and kill Lin Jianfeng. Most of their combat strength came from the Black Dragon Society, which also had the largest number of High-Level Practitioners. In contrast, the Heavenly Dragon Society and Crimson Flame Hall were trying to rely on external forces while avoiding sending more personnel from their own ranks, seemingly intent on conserving their strength for ulterior motives. Xi Dao Jing even proposed using the Three Talents Confining Dragon Formation as the Heavenly Dragon Society's strongest combat force, as if this formation had always belonged to them.
Once their discussions concluded, Xi Dao Jing smiled and invited Xunuo to a gathering at the Heavenly Dragon Society. Xunuo understood his intentions and followed Xi Dao Jing without hesitation.
Xunuo was arranged to stay at a separate residence within the Heavenly Dragon Society. After chatting briefly with two Tenth Layer Cultivators who accompanied him, they took their leave, informing Xunuo that they would be outside if he needed anything. Xunuo anticipated that they would monitor his every move before their operation.
However, Xunuo had his own plans. He didn't want to expose himself completely under the Heavenly Dragon Society's surveillance. Thus, he set up a Divine Sense shielding formation around him to block any detection from outside. This type of formation could only provide protective effects and remained within the Heavenly Dragon Society's tolerance; Xi Dao Jing did not pay any attention when he received reports about it.
That night, high-level Cultivators from the Three Forces stealthily departed in groups to set up their ambush at Copper Sand Sea.
The next day, just as dawn broke, a ripple appeared on the surface of the Tracking Disk floating before Xunuo, followed by a flash of Azure Light. Frowning slightly, Xunuo realized that Lin Jianfeng had left Three Sacred Mountains.
The magical imprint left by Lin Jianfeng was sent over when he cast a spell to communicate. This trace was too faint; if it were a Tracking Talisman, it would be difficult to seal it away. However, the Tracking Disk could manage it just barely.
Xunuo focused intently on Lin Jianfeng's magical trace and sped toward Copper Sand Sea. Moments later, he produced a Great Illusion Concealment Talisman from his hand and slapped it onto himself without hesitation. Instantly, his figure flickered and vanished into thin air. At the same time, he activated a Basic Flying Talisman with his other hand and soared upward toward Three Sacred Mountains.
Xunuo did not hold high hopes for the Three Forces' encirclement of Lin Jianfeng. His greatest hope for escape lay in seizing back the Against the Wind Boat amid the chaos created by Lin Jianfeng's departure from Three Sacred Mountains. This time, Xunuo planned to take advantage of Lin Jianfeng leaving to risk climbing up and stealing back the Against the Wind Boat.
Even if he failed, Xunuo did not intend to remain behind but instead relied on the Great Illusion Concealment Talisman's capabilities to make a swift escape.
Having retrieved the Divine Consciousness Mark left by the Death Contract Exchange, even a Foundation Stage Cultivator would find it difficult to easily trace their whereabouts. Thus, although this escape was somewhat reckless, it was not without hope.
Of course, the main reason was that the Chaotic Valley had completely deviated from its normal state, leaving no room for survival. This great turmoil had drawn Xunuo into its chaos, but it was something beyond Xunuo's capacity to bear.
Xunuo quietly flew to the Three Sacred Mountains, heading straight for the Mountain Valley without pausing. Upon reaching the fork leading to the medicinal field, Xunuo did not stop but continued along the small path deeper into the Mountain Valley.
After a moment, another fork appeared on the small path. Xunuo pondered for a moment and decided to fly sideways down this new path. At the end of this fork was another small medicinal field.
Looking around, Xunuo did not find any caves or houses and realized this was not where Lin Jianfeng usually cultivated. So, Xunuo turned back to continue searching.
At that moment, a sudden roar echoed from deep within the Mountain Valley. Instantly, a surge of immense magical power shot up into the sky. Following that, a blue figure stepped onto a Golden Giant Sword and swiftly flew out of the Three Sacred Mountains, racing towards the Crimson Copper Sand Sea.
Xunuo froze in place, too afraid to breathe as he watched the golden light vanish into the horizon. Cold sweat dripped down Xunuo's back as he thought to himself: it's over.
Of course, Xunuo was referring to Xi Dao Jing and others. However, he himself was also in grave danger.
After calming himself slightly, Xunuo floated towards the spot where the blue figure had appeared. Moments later, he landed in front of a grand hall and stepped inside. The hall was dimly lit, and Xunuo dared not release his Divine Sense here.
Once inside, Xunuo noticed two gray-clad figures with iron-black faces sitting cross-legged on either side of the entrance. Their hands were pressed against the ground in an unusual posture. These two had strange magical powers but were clearly at the Foundation Stage.
Xunuo possessed a Great Illusion Concealment Talisman and naturally did not worry about being discovered by cultivators of such level. However, upon seeing one of them—a person with a face as pale as water and high cheekbones—Xunuo's body trembled slightly as he took two quick steps back, nearly losing control of his emotions. This seemingly lifeless Cultivator suddenly opened his eyes wide. His large hands reached out where Xunuo had just passed but then fell back down motionless.
Xunuo stared at this person for a moment before murmuring, "Black Wind Old Monster, how could you end up like this?"
It turned out that this person was indeed the Black Wind Old Monster. Xunuo recognized that these two were no longer living beings but rather Reanimations. Although Reanimations were fierce, their loss of consciousness made them easier to evade.
Xunuo had no time for sentimentality; after glancing around the hall briefly, he walked towards the back door. Exiting through it led him into a passage that was pitch black inside. After some thought, Xunuo released his Divine Sense for about ten feet before slowly stepping into the passage. It wasn't long before light appeared at the end of it. Xunuo quickly retracted his Divine Sense and walked out of the passage.
Meanwhile, Xi Dao Jing and others had lured Lin Jianfeng into the Three Talents Confining Dragon Formation. The Black Dragon Society cultivator responsible for drawing him in was heavily injured and sat outside the formation, consuming pills while recovering his magical power.
Inside the formation, Thunder Balls rained down while wind blades slashed towards Lin Jianfeng like a torrential storm. Not only did Lin Jianfeng activate his Magic Shield fully, but he also summoned a Bone Shield artifact to surround himself. He deflected all attacks one by one and unleashed his Flying Sword towards the formation with wild strikes. Each sword strike managed to create a gap in the formation.
However, Xi Dao Jing continuously waved Formation Flags to shift Lin Jianfeng within the formation. Although he could cut open gaps, there was no opportunity for escape. Yet Xi Dao Jing was flushed and drenched in sweat, clearly exerting all his strength.
Surrounding the formation were over thirty Eleventh Layer Grandmasters. Qin Xiaotian let out a loud roar and took action first by summoning a circular artifact. This artifact expanded with the wind to over ten feet in size and descended upon Lin Jianfeng, instantly shrinking down to temporarily immobilize him. In the next moment, over thirty artifacts rained down upon Lin Jianfeng before him.
Lin Jianfeng suddenly found himself unable to attack, focusing entirely on defense. After a series of loud clangs, Qin Xiaotian's circular artifact shattered into several pieces. Lin Jianfeng appeared disheveled and in a state of utter disarray.
Qin Xiaotian showed no signs of regret over the destruction of the circular artifact. Instead, he summoned a spear-shaped artifact, channeling his power for a second wave of attacks that followed swiftly.
The plan to trap Lin Jianfeng with the circular artifact had been discussed the previous day, and the artifact's destruction was anticipated.
With over thirty artifacts attacking in succession, Lin Jianfeng had no chance to counter. While he was not in immediate danger of falling, he was clearly becoming overwhelmed. Occasionally, artifacts broke through his Bone Shield and struck his Magic Shield. The defensive capability of the Magic Shield was evidently inferior to that of the Bone Shield, dimming with each strike.
Lin Jianfeng's face turned pale as he struggled to fend off the attacks, cursing under his breath. He never expected these insignificant beings would dare to attack him.
Xi Dao Jing waved the Formation Flag, channeling the power of the formation to assault Lin Jianfeng while furrowing his brow in deep thought. Suddenly, Xi Dao Jing communicated something to Ruan Jingtian. Upon receiving Xi Dao Jing's message, Ruan Jingtian looked at him skeptically before asking Qin Xiaotian a few questions. Moments later, the three of them wore serious expressions and nodded in agreement on a decision.
Then Ruan Jingtian inexplicably raised his hand repeatedly, yet no artifacts or spells flew out. Following this, Xi Dao Jing shook the Formation Flag. Lin Jianfeng suddenly appeared in another part of the formation.
As soon as Lin Jianfeng materialized, his expression changed drastically. The Bone Shield enveloped him instantly. In the next moment, several earth-shattering explosions erupted around him. A terrifying energy filled the formation in an instant, ultimately causing it to collapse.
As this terrifying energy dispersed, a vast area of the Desert Sea sank like a pit forming a ten-zhang deep hole. At the center of this pit lay Lin Jianfeng, his body mangled and bloodied. His face was unrecognizable, emitting gurgling sounds as his Bone Shield had shattered into hundreds of pieces.
Outside the formation, no cultivator escaped unscathed from the shockwave. None bothered to check their injuries; almost simultaneously, they summoned their artifacts to strike at Lin Jianfeng's remains. Without any artifacts or magical shields for defense, Lin Jianfeng was instantly reduced to a pile of shredded flesh.
