"Eh?" The black formation had revealed nothing while still, but the moment it moved, Zhang Xiaohua saw through it. He laughed wildly in his heart. No wonder it looked so familiar. Isn't this the rabbit talisman formation inside the Niwan Palace? It's just that... magical artifacts have replaced the individual talismans, and... the placement of these artifacts has enormous flaws. They've simply been put in all the wrong places!
With that thought, Zhang Xiaohua leapt into the air and flew before one of the hook-shaped magical artifacts. After examining it for a moment, he reached into his robes and took out a jade talisman—the very rabbit talisman he usually refined. Holding it carefully, he placed it about three inches beside the flying hook. Then he tapped it with a finger, sending a thread of true qi into it. With a soft whoosh, golden light flashed across the talisman, and an enigmatic ripple spread out. Once released, the ripple seemed to possess a powerful suction force, merging with the ripples emitted by the black formation. Before long, the golden talisman became part of the great formation!
Now that the golden talisman had become one part of the rabbit talisman formation, that hook-shaped magical artifact was freed from the restraints of the original formation. The ripples it emitted were no longer accepted by the formation. Zhang Xiaohua reached out and effortlessly picked up the artifact, and an enormous flaw immediately appeared where it had been!
Holding up the flying hook, Zhang Xiaohua carefully inspected it with his divine sense. There seemed to be some unknown restriction on its surface that he could not break. Then, as if recalling something, he extended his right hand and took out from his money pouch the black jade slip he had acquired in the mysterious cave.
