Out of the Way, You Up Ahead!

Upon learning of his subordinate's death, Tantai Jing immediately ordered a full-scale search for the target...

However, the moment the order was given, Tantai Jing realized something was wrong...

Tantai Jing immediately cancelled the search order in the Black Wind Forest and told everyone to go back to what they were doing...

Even if the target is outside Black Wind Forest, not inside it... just proceed as usual...

The Demonic Sect disciples in the Black Wind Forest should continue delivering goods and transporting items as usual; there should be no changes...

What the hell? Why do you think Tantai Jing is like this...?

Tantai Jing retorted, "Have you forgotten that Black Wind Forest has two living fathers?"

These two living fathers of the Demonic Sect are truly not to be trifled with...

Tantai Jing said that although he knew about the two living fathers, Tantai Jing didn't have the guts to tell his subordinates that the two living fathers were in the Black Wind Forest.

What's wrong? Have you gone mad? Those two living fathers over there are hiding some secrets. If they suddenly tell their subordinates that it's Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang, given the nature of the Demonic Sect, it'll be known throughout the Four Continents in no time...

I wonder how many people will come over then...

Tantai Jing didn't care about these people, but what if his orders disrupted Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang's rhythm... and made them hold a grudge against him? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Chu Xinghe is alright, but Ma Liang is the kind of person who can find bones even in an egg...

If I were to offend Ma Liang, and he came to me Tantai Jing, to discuss the classic Chinese philosophy of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, or metal, wood, earth, fire, and water again, could I possibly withstand that?

Therefore, Tantai Jing quickly cancelled all activities in Black Wind Forest and stated that everything would continue as usual...

Even if we're going to do something, we should wait until these two living fathers leave Black Wind Forest before we make a move!

What the hell? Do you think I, Tantai Jing, have ever suspected that this might have been orchestrated by Ma Liang or Chu Xinghe?

Tantai Jing stated that he had never done so...

The reason is simple... just take a look at that formation...

That formation looks pretty powerful... but Tantai Jing is certain... let alone Chu Xinghe, whose Innate Formation Mastery.

Even Ma Liang couldn't possibly be this incompetent, setting up such a terrible formation...

Moreover, tell me, if it really was Ma Liang or Chu Xinghe who made the move, what reason would they have to use an array to kill the Demon Demon Express?

If the Demon Demon Express really messed with them, given Ma Liang's character, after killing those people, he'd probably still demand compensation from Tantai Jing for his emotional distress...

Therefore, although these two "living fathers" were in the Black Wind Forest, Tantai Jing was certain that this matter could not possibly have been handled by them...

Tantai Jing everything to continue as before, while he continued his search within the Black Wind Forest...

Although it was only Tantai Jing himself, everyone was well aware of just how terrifying Tantai Jing's methods were...

Time passed second by second...

Night gradually fell...

In the Black Wind Forest, the Yue Ling trio did not rest, but continued Xiangqian under the cover of Black Wind Forest.

"Why don't you take a break?" Ma Liang felt a little sorry for Yue Ling, who looked somewhat tired.

At this moment, he spoke up, wanting Yue Ling to rest...

"Yeah... you look a bit tired. Why don't you rest for a bit and continue tomorrow morning..." Chu Xinghe could also tell that Yue Ling was a little tired.

After all, Yue Ling only had Third Rank cultivation level, which Chu Xinghe had just achieved by giving her a stroke of Third Rank fortune.

Therefore, it's normal for Yue Ling to be tired.

But as soon as Chu Xinghe said this, Yue Ling immediately retorted, "You're still not convinced that you, Chu Xinghe, have no experience... What are you taking a break for?"

"Where is this? This is the Black Wind Forest... Have you forgotten that I'm still being chased...? Take a break? This Black Wind Forest is in the middle of nowhere, it's extremely dangerous to rest here, don't you have any common sense?"

He glared at Chu Xinghe, then said to Ma Liang, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Ma Liang. But we have pursuers behind us. Let's wait until we leave Black Wind Forest and find a safe place before we rest."

Ma Liang: "Alright!"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Nima Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed his pants...

Wait... wasn't it Ma Liang who suggested taking a break?

I was just going along with what Ma Liang said, okay...

Isn't your double standard, Yue Ling, a little too obvious?

Couldn't you at least put on an act?

I know you're a fan of Ma Liang... but even if you Ma Liang, isn't this double standard and differential treatment a bit too outrageous?

Your double standards are so superficial, like an actor without talent; the audience can see it at a glance!

I now absolutely believe you are a die-hard fan of Ma Liang...

Your brother is always right... Even if your brother looked like a donkey, he'd still be cute, right?

And Ma Liang bastard Ma Liang, what the hell is with that smug, lewd look on your face?

Even if you, Ma Liang, didn't have a mirror, wouldn't you still pee?

You should at least take a piss and look in the mirror. With your appearance, you're a bit ridiculous, you know that?

Yue Ling ignored Chu Xinghe's complaints, and the three continued Xiangqian...

As the night deepened, the three continued their journey through the Black Wind Forest. Yue Ling asked suspiciously, "I've walked through the Black Wind Forest before, and it's always teeming with demonic beasts and ghosts at Black Wind Forest... How come we haven't encountered a single one this time? Are we just lucky?"

"Maybe it's because those ghosts and monsters are afraid of me!" Ma Liang said with a smug look on his face.

Chu Xinghe didn't want to say anything about what Ma Liang said...

What do you mean by "good luck"... Girl... it's because you're blind...

You can't even see what the hell is above our heads right now...

Look to Ma Liang's left, there's a ghost of Martial God- like power floating there invisibly... What the hell is this ghost that dares to approach?

To Ma Liang's right was also a ghostly being of the Martial God level wandering around... What kind of monster is that? Wouldn't it scare the crap out of you?

Ma Liang flung out a dozen or so Martial God- level ghosts in all directions... Let me tell you, even if Half-Step Mystic God- level ghost emerged from this Black Wind Forest, it wouldn't dare to come any closer...

At this point, let alone the ghosts and monsters of Black Wind Forest coming up on their own, even if you grab a monster and try to drive it this way, they'd rather die, they'd rather jump off the cliff on the other side of Black Wind Forest than come here!

The three continued Xiangqian... and right on their inevitable path, the Jiu Hai trio had been lying in ambush for half a day!

"Jiu Hai, are you sure your formation won't malfunction this time?"

"Absolutely, definitely, and without a doubt!" Jiu Hai gritted his teeth and said...

This guy, Jiu Hai, is basically saying, "It's only because I'm not available to deal with you, Black Sha, right now... otherwise, if it were any other time, you, Black Sha, would have been dead a thousand times over!"

I am a Ninth Rank- rank formation master!

Do you even understand the Ninth Rank?

This level is called Martial Emperor!

I'm a damn Ninth Rank Martial Emperor...

Even now that the Four Continents have merged, this Ninth Rank expert is still among the strongest!

I'm a Ninth Rank Martial Emperor level formation master, and you keep saying there might be something wrong with my formations, without even mentioning what happened before. Just saying that is enough to kill you ten thousand times over, okay?

However, Jiu Hai knew... now was not the time to argue with Black Sha about this. Suppressing his anger, Jiu Hai smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Lord Black Sha, please rest assured, we have no idea how we could possibly lose this time!"

Jiu Hai wasn't talking nonsense. Jiu Hai said that he had brought out all his trump cards this time. This formation was not as simple as using cannons to kill mosquitoes... it was like using a swarm of cannons to kill a single mosquito!

Once this formation is activated, there is absolutely no possibility of any unforeseen events!

Of course, the reason why Jiu Hai takes this so seriously is because the last time was truly bizarre...

You know... this last chain of killing formations worked flawlessly... so why did it suddenly malfunction when it was activated?

Jiu Hai himself couldn't understand why he did it back then...

It seemed as if some unknown force had isolated him from all control over the formation.

To be honest, Jiu Hai couldn't understand what kind of power that was...

Ultimately, one can only conclude that there was a problem with how they set up the formation...

But this time, Jiu Hai really didn't dare to be careless at all... This time, Jiu Hai had checked the formation almost a thousand times to make sure that there was absolutely no problem with the formation!

While the trio of Jiu Hai were waiting, they noticed from Jiu Hai the trio of Yue Ling were heading towards their killing formation.

Jiu Hai wasn't on the killing formation side...

Jiu Hai is still quite a distance from the killing formation. The reason they can see what's happening on the other side of the killing formation is because Jiu Hai left a spying array near it!

You can clearly see what's happening over there!

Now, seeing the Yue Ling trio appear through the spy array... a cruel glint appeared in Jiu Hai's eyes!

"This time... you're all dead!"

Just as Jiu Hai watched through the spy array as the trio entered the killing formation without any precautions, Jiu Hai activated the formation without hesitation!

"Kill formation! Activate!"

The killing formation... no response!

Jiu Hai: "???"

Seeing that the killing formation still didn't react at all, Jiu Hai was completely dumbfounded...

Another problem?

But this time, a ferocious look appeared on Jiu Hai' face!

Do you think I, Jiu Hai, am the same Jiu Hai as before?

I've left myself a backup plan this time!

I left a passively triggered array pattern in the formation... Now that it cannot be activated actively, the passive killing array pattern that I left in the center of the formation will be activated automatically. At that time, the killing array in the very center of the formation will directly kill these people!

Therefore, Jiu Hai did not continue to try to activate the killing formation, but simply waited!

Wait for Yue Ling and the others to reach the center of the formation, and wait for the formation to be triggered and activated!

Just as Jiu Hai watched the trio get closer and closer to the center of the formation, and the formation was about to be activated, a sudden change occurred...

A team of Demon Demon Express rushed out of the depths of the Black Wind Forest in a panic!

"Get out of my way, you three! We're from Demon Demon Express, we're in a hurry! If you don't want to die, get the hell out of my way and find another way, or don't blame me for getting dirty!"

Hearing the Demon Demon Express's curses, Yue Ling was annoyed, but she quickly pulled Ma Liang and Yue Ling Chu Xinghe to the other side, saying as she made way, "Let's make way, this is the Demonic Sect's Demon Demon Express, we can't afford to offend the Demonic Sect... Let's go, let's go... let's go that way..."

Before Yue Ling could finish speaking, the killing formation in the distance... erupted with light... The next moment, all the Demon Demon Express who had entered the killing formation... were completely annihilated...

Yue Ling: "?"

Jiu Hai: "??????????????????????"
