Five Extremes Spirit-Devouring Grand Formation

The atmosphere instantly became tense the moment the sword was pressed against the cultivator's neck.

The members of Jia Twenty-Nine Squad drew their swords and surrounded Qin Fei.

What are you going to do?

After struggling for a moment, the members of Jia Sixteen Squad stood next to Qin Fei.

Apart from Lu Caiwei just joined.

"Caiwei, come here quickly."

Sun Tang called out.

Lu Caiwei kept her head down and didn't move an inch.

"No need to call her anymore, they're in cahoots."

Qin Fei narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the cultivator surnamed Lu.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who broke through inside is Lu Tianchou, right?"

The cultivator surnamed Lu frowned, then relaxed.

"Interesting, how did you guess that, fellow Daoist?"

Qin Fei confirmed his thoughts, and his expression turned cold.

Lu Tianchou, the young master of the Lu Household, is the holder of the Heavenly Spirit Root and the recognized Shangyu Market. He is someone who can break through to the Foundation Establishment at any time.

However, this person had nearly killed him several times before, and he hadn't forgotten that grudge.

It's utterly ridiculous to now entrust him with protecting his Foundation Establishment.

"It's not hard to guess this. In Shangyu Market, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment is a momentous event, and it should be carried out secretly in a safe place."

"You've done the opposite, choosing this border region between the human and barbarian tribes, simply because you fear the Lin Household will get wind of it and sabotage you secretly."

The Lin and Lu families had previously been locked in a fierce battle over the matter of the secret realm.

Although relations have temporarily eased, it's not so easy to reconcile after so many disciples were sacrificed in the past.

If it were a trivial matter, the Lin Household might not bother with it out of respect for the Azure Wood Palace.

However, if the Lu Household gains another Foundation Establishment, it means they will become the number one Lineage in Shangyu Market, and the Lin Household will not stand idly by no means.

Qin Fei snorted coldly and continued:

"Were the reinforcements that came to our aid also secretly dispatched by you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, we can use our defenses against the barbarian army now, and once that person inside succeeds in Foundation Establishment, it will be our death day. Fellow Daoist, am I right?"

The cultivator surnamed Lu was shocked, never expecting that their entire plan would be revealed by the person in front of them.

His eyes darted around, and suddenly he started clapping.

"Fellow Daoist is wise, I admire him. However, the barbarian army has already attacked. Are you perhaps planning to desert in the face of battle?"

Qin Fei, of course, would not do as he wished.

If he deserts in the face of battle, he will be falsely accused by the Lu Household and regarded as a traitor to the human race, and the entire clan will be on his wanted list.

It has to be said, that was a ruthless move by the opponent.

These support teams were caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

The cultivator surnamed Lu also seemed completely confident that Qin Fei under his control, sitting calmly on the sidelines.

However, Qin Fei's next move surprised everyone.

He chuckled softly, took out a communication talisman from his Storage Bag, and said to the cultivator surnamed Lu:

"This is Jia Sixteen Squad, currently on a mission to protect the young master of the Lu Household Foundation Establishment. We are currently facing a large-scale barbarian army and request support from the Lin Household."

He sent the message directly to Lin Man, along with his location.

Lin Man is the Lin Household, and she hates Lu Tianchou to the bone. Knowing that he is about to Foundation Establishment, she will definitely not let this opportunity pass.

"You, you..."

The cultivator surnamed Lu pointed at Qin Fei, speechless for a long time.

Qin Fei pretended not to know and asked in confusion:

"I asked the Lin Household for help, to have them hold off the barbarian army and buy the young master time for his breakthrough. You should be happy about that."

The cultivator surnamed Lu nearly cursed out loud, for if the Lin Household came, they would definitely not allow Lu Tianchou Foundation Establishment.

The problem is that Qin Fei's actions were perfectly legitimate, and it was only natural for him to request help from the barbarian army; he couldn't find any fault with it.

"It seems we can only inform the young master to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible. The Lin Household will need quite some time to arrive, so there's still a chance."

The cultivator surnamed Lu pondered this in his heart and quickly sent a message.

But after seeing the reply, he stood there stunned.

Lu Tianchou only replied with a short sentence:

"Ignore the Lin Household and let the barbarian army into battle."

"Enter the battle?"

He muttered to himself, completely baffled.

Currently, relying on the power of the Yin-Yang Limitless Formation, there is still a chance to hinder the barbarian army.

If we let them in, how will we defend ourselves?

The cultivator surnamed Lu couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and gave the order to everyone.

"Release the magic array and let the barbarian army in!"

Everyone was shocked, but they had no choice but to do as instructed.

"Captain Qin, what do we do?"

The members of Team Jia Sixteen were at a loss and all looked to Qin Fei, waiting for his order.

"Being together would be too much of a target; let's break out separately in Shangyu Market."

"At the same time, send a message to the other teams that came to their aid, expose the Lu Household's conspiracy, and tell them to leave together."

"After entering the city, seek protection from the Lin Household. With news of Lu Tianchou's breakthrough, they won't make things difficult for you."

"Captain, what about you?"

"Don't worry about me, let's go!"

Everyone nodded in unison, then suddenly transformed into several streaks of light and shot off in different directions.

"Qin Fei, you're courting death! There will be no place for you in Shangyu Market!"

The cultivator surnamed Lu shouted angrily.

Qin Fei didn't even turn his head, plunging headfirst into the dense forest.

The scene before him flashed by rapidly, and in no time he was separated from the crowd.

"Young Qin, wait a minute."

Just then, the Big Yellow suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Fei landed on a treetop and asked in confusion.

The Big Yellow didn't say anything, it just kept sniffing with its nose sticking out.

"Strange, why doesn't this Yin-Yang Five Extremes Formation have Twin Power? If there were restrictions blocking it when the formation was first activated, it would be understandable that I couldn't detect it. But now that the barbarian army has been allowed in, why can't I still sense it?"

"Twin Power, what are those?"

"The Twin Power is a unique energy of the Yin-Yang Five Extremes Formation. The reason why the power of this formation is continuous is entirely due to the support of the Twin Power."

The Big Yellow casually offered an explanation, but the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

He followed the Heavenly Mystery Elder through the cultivation world for hundreds of years, and his knowledge and understanding were extremely diverse.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed such a strange thing.

What kind of formation is it if it has no soul?

"No, this isn't the Yin-Yang Level 5 Formation!"

The Big Yellow seemed to have figured something out and suddenly understood.

Then, its face lit up with ecstatic joy, and it turned to look at Qin Fei, saying:

"Young Qin, your fortuitous opportunity has come!"

Qin Fei, unaware of the reason, calmly said:

"Don't overreact, just tell me what happened."

The Big Yellow grinned, its mouth stretching almost to its ears.

"Hehe, this formation isn't the Yin-Yang Five Extremes Formation at all. We've all been fooled. If I'm not mistaken, this is a High Antiquity formation called the Five Extremes Spirit-Devouring Grand Formation!"

Qin Fei frowned and continued to ask:

What's the difference between the two?

"The difference is huge."

The Big Yellow paced back and forth as it spoke:

"The Yin-Yang Five Extremes Formation can utilize the Twin Power to injure and defend against enemies; it is primarily used as a battle formation."

"The Five Extremes Spirit-Devouring Grand Formation, on the other hand, allows one to sacrifice blood to the cultivators within the array, seizing their Spirit Root essence to nourish oneself. This is High Antiquity forbidden array, strictly prohibited in our time."

"I don't know where that person got this formation from, but the scale of their scheme is so grand that even I, an old dog, am somewhat moved."

Qin Fei was shocked; the events that had happened earlier instantly connected into a single thread.

No wonder Lu Tianchou let those barbarian soldiers into the battle; he was preparing for a blood sacrifice.

Those were tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers!

Besides the barbarian soldiers, there were also many Lu Household cultivators in the magic array, who also seemed destined to become sacrifices.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by saying my fortuitous opportunity has arrived?"

Qin Fei puzzled. If he didn't escape the magic array soon, he would become a sacrifice. Where did this fortuitous opportunity come from?

The Big Yellow chuckled and said slyly:

"That blond brat only knows one thing, not the other. This formation has two key points, both of which can benefit from the power of blood sacrifice."

"Now that the main array eye has been captured, we only need to infiltrate the auxiliary array eye to take a portion of the blood sacrifice power. Qin kid, are you in or not?"
