Cooperation

However, if this person is at the Nascent Soul Realm stage, then there is nothing to fear.

Wei Hai thought to himself.

Judging from this person's Spiritual Power level, if Nascent Soul stage, it must be Nascent Soul that was built up with pills, which is far inferior to someone like me who cultivated steadily and surely.

Regardless of whether this person is Golden Core cultivator or Nascent Soul, although he caught me off guard with one move, in terms of overall strength, this person is definitely no match for me.

Thinking of this, Wei Hai looked at Lin Xiao and chuckled:

"Boy, if you kneel down now, kowtow, and call me 'Grandpa' three times, and return your grandpa's Spirit Stone mine, I might consider sparing your life. It would be such a waste to have wasted all the cultivation you've accumulated over the years, what a pity, tsk tsk."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao glanced at him calmly before turning his gaze to the deserted Xiushui Village below, the villagers filling the Wenxin Heart-Questioning Path, and the Lingxian Sect members on the mountainside who were looking at him with delight.

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, a time when Xiushui Village should be at its most lively and joyful.

But now, the entire Xiushui Village is in chaos, a complete mess.

Upon emerging from the pass and witnessing this scene, he pursed his lips, remaining silent, though the veins on the back of his hand, gripping his sword tightly, were already bulging.

Lin Xiao's attack just now happened in an instant. Upon hearing Lin Xiao's voice, everyone on the mountain exclaimed in surprise:

"Brother Xiao!"

"It's Brother Xiao's voice!"

At this moment, the flames in the air were dispersed by the Sword Qi, and dust settled. The Lingxian Sect members below also saw Lin Xiao, who was standing in the air above, facing the Nascent Soul Cultivator.

After half a year apart, everyone felt that Lin Xiao seemed to have changed a bit, yet also seemed unchanged.

They paused for a moment while looking at Lin Xiao above, then suddenly gathered their energy, drew their swords, and charged towards the Nascent Soul Cultivator!

Lin Xiao knew that he could not possibly defeat a Nascent Soul Cultivator head-on with his Golden Core power.

But looking at the Nascent Soul Cultivator covered in wounds, he knew he couldn't give him a chance to catch his breath and recover.

Seeing Lin Xiao attacking him, Wei Hai immediately used his Spiritual Power to create a shield to block!

It must be said that although Lin Xiao is a very powerful Golden Core cultivator, there is still a huge gap between the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages.

When Lin Xiao's full-force attack collided with Wei Hai's Spiritual Power shield, he immediately felt a tremendous backlash shaking his entire body. With a loud 'bang,' many cracks appeared on his exposed skin.

Although his sect uniform was not damaged, it was billowed and flew around by the huge gust of air generated by the collision.

The white robe etched Lin Xiao's lean and strong physique into the giant waves of air, as if he would be blown away by this immense force at any moment.

The Spiritual Power energy shield in front of Wei Hai was also covered with dense fine lines, and was on the verge of breaking.

Upon seeing this, he immediately increased the flow of Spiritual Power, and gradually the fine lines on the surface were repaired one by one.

It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment.

After Wei Hai used all his strength, Lin Xiao was finally blasted away by his Spiritual Power shield. Under the force of the explosive airflow generated by the two of them in the air, he was sent flying backward towards the Lingxian Sect!

Seeing this, Wei Hai immediately pressed his advantage and followed closely behind.

But as he was about to pass the mountain path below, which was covered with peach petals, he felt as if he had stepped into some kind of area.

The next moment, he found himself trapped in a formation.

At the same time, Lin Xiao, who had just regained his footing in the air, received a telepathic message from Liu Yunan:

"Brother Xiao, he's trapped!"

He looked back and saw that Wei Hai was indeed trapped in the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation. Only then did he wipe the blood from his face and catch his breath.

"Well done, Tuzi!"

It turns out that Liu Yunan had planned to set up the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation on the Heart-Questioning Road, but was stopped by Senior Liao.

Because he knew that no formation could be placed within the Heart-Questioning Road.

Later, Senior Liao went out to rescue people with Sun Yigao, so Liu Yunan decided to act according to the situation and placed the Heart-Questioning Road in front of him.

However, since activating the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation requires the user to infuse their own Spiritual Power to connect the array nodes, which takes a lot of time, he cannot just rush out.

Otherwise, if that Nascent Soul Cultivator discovers him, he will surely be annihilated before he can even activate the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation.

Currently, the only people with relatively high cultivation levels left in the sect are Fuzi and the talisman master Liu Chun; they are the best candidates to activate the formation.

However, since this matter required going outside the sect's Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation, Liu Yunan did not want them to take the risk.

So when Lin Xiao emerged from seclusion and faced off against the Nascent Soul Cultivator, he knew his opportunity had arrived.

While everyone's attention was focused on Lin Xiao and the Nascent Soul Cultivator, he quietly slipped down the mountain, set up the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation, and successfully activated it by inputting Spiritual Power to connect all the nodes.

The moment the system was successfully activated, he sent a telepathic message to Lin Xiao, instructing him to lead the people over there.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Xiao immediately released his strength and allowed himself to be blasted towards the sect.

Only through their cooperation were they able to successfully lure the Nascent Soul Cultivator into the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation.

Trapped in the formation, Wei Hai immediately realized something was wrong and tried to break free. However, before he could even begin to charge, all sorts of deadly attacks from within the formation, controlled by Liu Yunan, swept towards him relentlessly.

Wei Hai was struggling to defend himself, but he knew that such formations had time limits. Moreover, such a powerful formation consumed a lot of energy and moved extremely fast. As long as he could hold out as long as he could and not be killed by the formation, he would have a chance to get out!

Unexpectedly, just as he was struggling to deal with the various killing moves of the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation, Lin Xiao also drew his sword and entered the formation, attacking him!

Wei Hai was already struggling to cope with each attack of the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation, and now Lin Xiao's arrival was like adding insult to injury, causing him to retreat steadily in no time.

When he was finally pierced in the Nascent Soul by another spike from the Two Aspects Life and Death Formation, he was exhausted and hung on the spiked pillar like a rag doll, with only a breath left.

Lin Xiao walked through the air to stand in front of him, and raised the peach wood sword in his hand.

Looking at the young man before him, Wei Hai felt extremely resentful.

He couldn't understand why he, who had been invincible for hundreds of years and had recently conquered a sect that had a long-standing presence in the Mortal Realm and become its leader, had been completely defeated by this new sect he had never heard of before.

Thinking about how he had cultivated for many years, transforming from an ordinary mortal into a Nascent Soul Cultivator revered by ordinary people, Wei Hai felt a pang of regret. He wished he had been more cautious.
