High-Grade Fifth-Rank Formation Master: Revenge and Establishing Prestige [Monthly Votes Requested]

Several months later, in a Market within the Loose Cultivator Alliance's territory.

Lin Chang'an, Fairy Ice Butterfly, Wild Crane Wanderer, and Green-Horned Ox looked out over the bustling Market through a private room's window.

"This is one of the most prosperous Markets under the Loose Cultivator Alliance. One or two Spirit Transformation Cultivators are stationed here year-round. According to my information,

"one is at the Early-Stage Spirit Transformation, while the other, at the Mid-Stage Spirit Transformation, is the man who ambushed me."

Wild Crane Wanderer stroked his beard with the air of an enlightened sage, but a cold glint entered his eyes as he gazed toward the distant Spirit Vein.

"Exactly. Besides, the Loose Cultivator Alliance struck first. If they can't keep their people in line, we'll help them."

Wild Crane Wanderer was grateful to Lin Chang'an and Fairy Ice Butterfly for standing up for him, but the sight before him made him frown.

Formations were profoundly intricate. Fighting inside one would not necessarily let the enemy trap them, but it could restrict their strength.

"A formation?"

At those words, Lin Chang'an gave a calm, untroubled smile.

"It's only a Mid-Grade Fifth-Rank Mountain Protection Formation. A little troublesome, perhaps, but nothing serious."
