Mo Wen and the other experts hunted down the immortal-level Nether Soldiers, while Tian Wei and the other three used the life force of Monkey Brew to lure away the many Nether Soldiers. Bu Wen led the experts of Tianyin Temple in taking turns fighting in the Arhat Formation, with Shangguan Longyin, Wu De, and the others lending their assistance. Grandpa Zi Yun and Old Man Ling hurried to set up the formation. Everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan.
With the formations set up by Linglong and Ling Tian, everyone recovered much faster. They also saved a great deal of spiritual energy by using Explosive Jade Talismans, and their condition gradually improved. Without too much pressure, they held off the Nether Soldiers' attacks.
Time drifted by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
After a month of remaining at high alert, everyone was inevitably weary. But when Grandpa Zi Yun and Old Man Ling announced that the formation was complete, the group was ecstatic. They rallied their remaining strength to drive back the Nether Soldiers, then entered the Defense Formation one after another.
The spiritual energy inside the Defense Formation was exceptionally dense, and the deathly aura was quite faint. Everyone felt refreshed.
But no one rested right away. They watched the outside anxiously, worried that the Defense Formation might not withstand the Nether Soldiers' attacks, which surged in like an ocean.
As if he could see their concerns, Grandpa Zi Yun laughed heartily, his voice brimming with confidence. "Rest assured, everyone. This formation has astonishing defensive power. Even a peak Heavenly Immortal would need some time to break through it. What's more, the formation can absorb attacks from outside. The harder they attack, the stronger the counterattack they'll face."
Grandpa Zi Yun commanded considerable respect
