The Power of Li Xue's Formation

"She was being hunted down?" Shen Ge's thoughts shifted, and she seemed reluctant to discuss the topic. "Whatever, I'm already being kind by not hunting her down myself."

The two chatted for a while longer before someone came over and they stopped talking.

"There are three of them, and they're surrounded by a dense purple aura. We could try and steal from them."

"You stop them from escaping, I'll handle it."

Li Xue nodded.

"It's you?" A red-haired man in the air immediately showed a look of surprise and delight, and shouted, "Boy, hand over the Lightning Origin and everything you have is yours. If you behave, maybe we can let you go."

The three quickly positioned themselves to surround Shen Ge and his companion, and in the blink of an eye, a formation was formed.

With three against two, and the added advantage of a formation, the odds seemed to be in their favor, so they weren't in a hurry to make a move.

"The Heavenly Position Attack Formation, you seem quite skilled at using it," Li Xue said casually.

"Not bad," the red-haired man said with a smile, seemingly arrogant. "Since you know us, behave yourself and don't make us lay a hand on you."

"Pretty arrogant," Shen Ge scoffed. "I was actually thinking about how to keep you here, but you stopped on your own, which is just what I wanted."

"Now, hand over everything you have, and I might spare your lives."

"Hmph!" The red-haired man snorted coldly, his voice low and menacing. "Ungrateful wretch!"

"Do it!"

Just as Shen Ge was about to make a move, Li Xue stopped him. She took a step forward and lightly stepped out, and array formations shot out from under her feet. In an instant, countless array patterns formed a large array, and it was an extremely powerful offensive array!

The three red-haired men immediately stopped in their tracks. They stared at the formation with grim expressions. After a long silence, the red-haired man's tone suddenly softened.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this? We were just joking with you, it's not that serious."

"Yes, yes, just kidding, it's not that serious, really not."

"Fellow Daoist, we were just joking around. Please don't activate this formation."

The three men had fawning expressions and looked ingratiating.

They didn't want to be so subservient, but they had no choice. Now that they were trapped in this Immortal-Trapping Formation, their only hope of survival was to beg for mercy.

Li Xue remained expressionless and said softly, "Hand over everything you have, then get out!"

Despite its soft tone, the voice carried an undeniable authority.

The three of them exchanged a glance, and although they were all unwilling, they immediately took out several Storage Bag and placed them on the ground.

"Fellow Daoist, look," the red-haired man said in a low voice, pointing to the Storage Bag on the ground, with a hint of grievance, "Can we leave now?"

"Roll."

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll leave right away and never disturb your enjoyment again." The three bowed repeatedly, then fled through the newly formed hole in a flash.

Shen Ge glanced at the three of them as they walked away, then looked at Li Xue with a slightly amused expression. "Your mastery of formations has probably reached a high level."

Li Xue glanced at Shen Ge, and with a slight beckoning of her finger, Shen Ge felt a chill run down his spine. It wasn't that he was frightened by Li Xue's action, but rather that he sensed a powerful murderous intent, causing both his body and soul to frantically warn him.

After a while, the murderous intent dissipated, and Shen Ge returned to normal. He silently looked at Li Xue, seemingly lost in thought.

"How about it? Can you feel the terror of this formation?" Li Xue said with a light laugh, her expression somewhat amused.

After a long silence, Shen Ge nodded and sighed, "This formation is indeed terrifying. I just felt a strong sense of life and death crisis."

"So, Shen Ge, I have every right to execute you on the spot, but I didn't. You need to understand my intentions."

Shen Ge's face darkened, and he said with some displeasure, "Why do you always want to take me right here and now? Besides, even if you get my body, you won't get my heart, so what's the point?"

"Familiarity breeds fondness, you know?"

"Alright, alright, alright..." Shen Ge waved his hand and said, "I'm not going to talk about 'time' anymore. I still have to rush to snatch the Purple Jade. See you next time."

With a gentle wave of her hand, Li Xue presented the three Storage Bag containing purple jade to Shen Ge: "It's just purple jade, you can have all of mine."

Looking at the Storage Bag in front of him, Shen Ge felt, for some reason, as if he were being kept by a rich woman, and this "soft rice" (a euphemism for being fed) felt like it was being forcibly fed to him.

Without taking the Storage Bag, Shen Ge turned to Li Xue with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "If you don't want the purple jade, then what are you doing here?"

"I came to find you," Li Xue said bluntly.

Shen Ge's words faltered; the conversation was over. He simply took the three Storage Bag, his face darkening, and said, "Suit yourself. Since you don't want them, then help me grab some. I want them, the more the better."

outside world.

Seeing the three escape, Venerable Thunder Sea turned to Venerable Azure Nether beside him and asked, "Is this the Immortal-Trapping Formation?"

Venerable Azure Nether put down his teacup and nodded, saying, "It is indeed the Immortal-Trapping Formation, but it's not complete; it's been simplified somewhat. However, no matter how simplified it is, its power is still undeniable."

"The formation set up by this little girl would be no different from sending a dozen or so Peak Nascent Soul to their deaths."

"That little girl and that boy know each other, and they seem to get along quite well. Fellow Daoists, do you think that boy might have a relationship with Granny Xu?"

Venerable Azure Nether pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "It shouldn't matter. Everyone knows that Xu Wei is known as the Master of Ten Thousand Formations; all his skills lie in array formations, which have nothing to do with that kid."

"Furthermore, none of the fellow cultivators she knows have any connection with this kid. His background is truly mysterious; I can't figure it out at all."

At this moment, Venerable Heavenly Craft hesitated for a moment before saying uncertainly, "Gentlemen, I just saw a trace of the Star Sea Bright Moon Sect in that kid's attack methods."

"The Star Sea Bright Moon Sect?" Venerable Azure Nether frowned slightly and asked, "Is it the Star Sea Bright Moon Sect from the Heaven's Edge Domain?"

"I'm not very familiar with that area, so I'd appreciate it if Fellow Heavenly Craft Tiangong could explain it to me in detail."

"It was probably around ten thousand years ago. Back then, our Artifact Forging Pavilion had a weapon-forging exchange with the Heaven's Edge Domain. The Star Sea Bright Moon Sect was in charge of receiving us. We were just bored at the time, so we arranged a competition between one of our disciples. That's why I have a little bit of knowledge about the Star Sea Bright Moon Sect's low-level Cultivation Method."

"However, the Cultivation Method this kid is using doesn't quite resemble the Star Sea Bright Moon Sect's; it only has a slight resemblance."

"Just a glimpse?" Venerable Azure Nether and Venerable Thunder Sea both seemed lost in thought. After a long while, Venerable Azure Nether suddenly picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Gentlemen, do you still remember the Spirit Moon Sect Star Sea Bright Moon Sect in the Luo Heaven Sea?"
