Breaking It Open? Easy
Even after retiring for so many years, the Liang Household of Qing Zhou still holds such a strong attraction for the Gong Household, all because of a Secret Method of the Liang Household.
The Liang Household had an ancestor who was a cultivator skilled in prophecy, who ascended to the Upper Realm in one fell swoop.
However, he did not forget to leave some treasures for his descendants, one of which was the "prophecy" hidden in the bodies of the Liang Household.
Therefore, apart from the Cultivation Method for predicting good and bad fortune, every member of Liang Household family with Liang Household blood, even without the potential to learn their own Cultivation Method, can exhaust half of their Essence Blood to arrive at an incredibly accurate prediction.
Liang Ranyue intends to use this prophecy to gain her freedom.
Now, she has achieved half of her goal!
Watching Gong Chengsi leave, Liang Ranyue couldn't help but move closer to Sang Ying: "Will our plan proceed smoothly? Can the Gong Household really disappear completely from the snowfield?"
Sang Ying didn't look at her, but instead quietly pointed to Jiang Zhuoxue, who was hidden in her sleeve, with her finger. "I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure."
Gong Chengjue's loss of his Wisdom Eyes means that Jiang Zhuoxue has regained hers.
In this way, it becomes possible to break the several Vitality Formation hidden deep in the snowfield.
However, everyone will probably be quite busy over the next three days.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhuoxue, hidden in her sleeve, secretly wrapped the tip of her tail around Sang Ying's hand...
Just as Sang Ying had guessed, Gong Chengjue's unexpected death robbed the Gong Household of its former vitality, and Gong Chengsi gained an absolute advantage, taking control of the entire Delusion-Breaking City.
While everyone was busy with the succession ceremony, Sang Ying and her group, with Jiang Zhuoxue's help, finally located several Vitality Formation.
When the group reunited in Sang Ying's courtyard, the first thing that caught their eye was a snowfield topographic map made of ice and snow on a small square table.
"These three locations are where the Vitality Formation is situated." Sang Ying raised her hand, and three circles appeared out of thin air on the terrain map, making the location of the Vitality Formation clearly visible.
"There are three locations? How should we allocate manpower?" Fang Chi asked.
Their plan was to break the Vitality Formation before Gong Chengsi took over, and then, taking advantage of the mixed crowd at the succession ceremony, destroy the secret chamber that contained all the life-giving energy of the snowfield.
However, with three Vitality Formation now in place, the distribution of manpower has become somewhat problematic.
Sang Ying said, "Eldest brother and Liang Ranyue will definitely stay. One of them is the future head of the Jimo Household, which is of great significance, and they will definitely be watched closely by the Gong Household. The other is a young lady from a prestigious Aristocratic Clan who was once engaged to the Gong Household. Given Gong Chengsi's personality, he will definitely make sure she attends this occasion."
"You two staying here can help us cover for us, so that Gong Chengsi and his men won't easily discover our departure."
Meeting Jimo Qing's gaze, Sang Ying continued, "As for breaking the formations outside, Hai Tingzhou and I both know formations, so we'll each take charge of one. The remaining one will be handled by whoever breaks the formation first."
"However, I think that if the plan goes smoothly and two of the formations are broken, the secret chamber will be destroyed, and the last formation probably won't be of much use."
This statement was echoed by the others.
"Then I'll go with Sang Ying," Fang Chi said, not noticing Hai Tingzhou's hesitant expression.
But before Sang Ying could even agree, Jiang Zhuoxue jumped in. "You should stay with Hai Tingzhou. I'll take care of things here with Sang Ying."
His eyes were covered by a white veil, obscuring half of his eyebrows and eyes, which only made him look even more handsome.
Jiang Zhuoxue practically wore the word "provocative" on her face. Fang Chi wanted to argue with her, but Hai Tingzhou said pitifully, "If you go with Sang Ying, then I'll have no one to protect me."
Fang Chi was immediately persuaded. Considering his relationship with Sang Ying, Fang Chi reluctantly let the person go.
"Alright, you'll get off easy this time!" Fang Chi pretended not to see the smugness on Jiang Zhuoxue's face.
Now that the person has been chosen, it's best not to delay any longer.
So, while everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming succession ceremony of the family head, Sang Ying and her three companions blatantly left the palace under the pretext of going to the outer city for a visit.
Before long, several important figures quietly disappeared from Delusion-Breaking City. Unseen by anyone, four figures ran off in two different directions and quickly vanished into the snowfield.
When Gong Chengsi received news that Sang Ying had gone out and came to investigate, Liang Ranyue couldn't help but feel nervous looking at the empty courtyard.
Sitting opposite her, Jimo Qing poured herself a cup of spiritual tea, seemingly oblivious to Gong Chengsi's shouts from the doorway.
"Young Master Jimo isn't worried at all? What if they break in?" Liang Ranyue usually looks imposing, but she's just all bark and no bite.
Now that Gong Chengsi has come knocking on her door, she is quite apprehensive when she thinks of everyone's plans.
Fortunately, Jimo Qing was there to keep watch. Seeing the door being pounded on, Liang Ranyue's expression grew increasingly serious.
The male cultivator in green robes dipped his finger in the tea and pointed it towards the air.
Four familiar figures appeared instantly, and the one in the lead was none other than Sang Ying, whom he had just sent away earlier!
"This is..." Liang Ranyue's eyes widened, but she couldn't see any difference between these people formed from tea and True Person.
"Alright, you can go open the door now," Jimo Qing said.
Reminded of this, Liang Ranyue immediately got up and opened the door with a smile.
When Gong Chengsi peeked through the crack in the door, he saw several pairs of eyes staring straight at him, their eyes full of impatience.
"What's the matter, young master? Why are you coming here so aggressively?" Inside the door was the eldest son of the Jimo Household, dressed in blue, who posed a question with hidden meaning.
Hearing the ramblings of his men, Gong Chengsi, who had assumed Sang Ying and her Gong Chengsi had quietly left, and who had caused all the trouble, gave a bitter smile:... It's over.
Sang Ying didn't care what Gong Chengsi was about to face; she only cared about how long the snowstorm would last.
"This must be it?" Comparing the terrain map she had drawn, Sang Ying looked at the area covered by thick white snow in front of her and silently walked up to Jiang Zhuoxue.
Jiang Zhuoxue replied, "This place is nice, but the formation is probably frozen solid under the thick snow. How are you going to break it?"
As the two were talking, the howls of wolves echoed from afar. Their presence, carried by the cold wind, had attracted the nearby demonic wolves.
"Breaking through here, isn't that easy?"
Sang Ying raised an eyebrow slightly, and the Floating River Sword was suddenly drawn from its sheath.
Before her lay pristine white snow, and behind her lurking terrifying wolves.
The wolf charged at the two men recklessly, determined to devour them whole.
The cold wind did not weaken in the slightest, relentlessly burying the formation.
The spirit sword emitted a faint light, standing out prominently against the white snow.
The female cultivator wielding the sword seemed to drop her blade lightly, and the terrifying Sword Qi instantly shattered all the snow and wind in front of her.
The thick snow was violently cleaved open, and the flying snow waterfall buried all the charging wolves!
Beneath that deep crack, a faint golden light emanated from the Vitality Formation.
