“You are Bai Zihe?”
Qin Changkong injected a strand of true essence into the communication jade slip.
Tenglong Bay.
Bai Zihe looked at the communication jade slip in his hand, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He and Qin Changkong needed to settle their scores.
“Qin Changkong, I killed your brother, and I killed your disciple.”
“Even…”
“I even transferred all the ores from the spirit stone mine right under your nose, and you didn’t even find out. Aren’t you curious about me?”
Such a message was a provocation to Qin Changkong!
A naked provocation!
Qin Changkong fell silent, his eyes narrowing.
He was indeed curious.
Someone who could prevent a Tribulation Crossing realm expert like him from detecting the slightest trace suggested that Bai Zihe possessed extremely powerful treasures.
Perhaps…
They had even reached the Heavenly grade!
At the thought, Qin Changkong’s heart burned with desire.
Heavenly grade treasures…
How many such treasures existed in the entire Long Live Realm of Great Xia?
If one counted, they could be numbered on less than ten fingers!
Furthermore…
These Heavenly grade treasures were either weapons or defensive items, each possessing immensely powerful functions.
It was a pity…
In recent times, with the depletion of spiritual energy and the disappearance of artifact refining sects, no new Heavenly grade treasures had emerged.
The known ones were all in the hands of the top powers.
For instance.
The sect master of their Tianshan Sword Sect possessed the Zhuxian Sword, which held the power to deceive gods and ghosts. Combined with the sword techniques of the Tianshan Sword Sect, the sect master could fight three opponents of the same realm alone!
Another example.
Ji Xianyun, the Palace Master of Xuanyuan Palace, possessed three Heavenly grade treasures, earning her the title of the foremost person in the Long Live Realm of Great Xia. In a one-on-one fight, no one was her match.
Even…
A hundred years ago, Ji Xianyun alone stormed the Demon Sect, battling three Tribulation Crossing realm experts and ten Mahayana realm experts, including peerless demon lords like Han Laomo.
The final outcome…
The Demon Sect was annihilated, and Ji Xianyun returned victorious.
It was from that battle that Ji Xianyun’s reputation as invincible was cemented, and no one dared to easily challenge her might!
And the reason for her victory, besides her cultivation of the Xuanyuan Jue, was her three Heavenly grade artifacts!
These were items capable of reversing the tide of an entire battle.
“You are quite arrogant.”
Seeing the message from Qin Changkong, Bai Zihe could almost imagine his expression and mood.
Thus.
Bai Zihe slightly curled his lips and sent him a message: “Shall we spar?”
This was no longer a provocation; it was a challenge!
A battle with Qin Changkong!
Qin Changkong, as a Tribulation Crossing realm expert who had cultivated for over three hundred years, had never encountered such an audacious cultivator.
According to the information he had obtained.
Bai Zihe was at most in his early twenties.
Even with a fortuitous encounter or heaven-defying artifacts, he couldn’t possibly be a match for a Tribulation Crossing realm expert.
What gave him such confidence?
“I will wait for you at Tianshan Sword Sect.”
“If you do not arrive within three days, the Bai family will be reduced to ashes.”
Qin Changkong’s message was simple, but the fury within was evident.
Even from afar, Bai Zihe could imagine it.
The Bai family reduced to ashes?
The one who deserved to die was Qin Changkong!
"Crack!"
The next moment, Bai Zihe crushed the communication jade slip, which turned into a wisp of smoke and slowly dissipated in the air.
“Junior brother.”
Several senior sisters rushed over: “We must return to our respective places.”
“Alright.”
Bai Zihe was not one to procrastinate: “Seventh Senior Sister, send the list of medicinal ingredients needed for the immortal pills from the previous scripture to all the senior sisters. We will pool our wisdom and search together.”
“After I’m done with my business, I will refine the pills.”
“Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, Fifth Senior Sister… mobilize the members of your respective forces and collect as many of the required materials as possible.”
Bai Zihe had a bold idea.
However.
Given the current situation, whether it was the Wolf Army under the Eldest Senior Sister, the Southern War Zone under the Second Senior Sister, or the subordinates of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Senior Sisters, their strength was still too weak.
Apart from a few Grandmaster-level experts, the rest were merely Houtian Martial Masters to Grandmasters.
Such strength…
In the past, it was certainly formidable.
But now, it was far below the standard of those immortal sects.
Even…
Any random elder from an immortal sect could carry out a massacre, which was extremely dangerous.
They had not yet launched any large-scale attacks on the mortal world, but Qin Changkong’s dispatch of Chen Changhong this time served as a wake-up call for Bai Zihe.
He had to prevent such an occurrence to avoid future regret.
And now, he had a method.
“Understood!”
Yao Ke’er smiled: “Actually, after you left that day, we had already started discussing this and began cultivating some of the experts under our command.”
“We are striving to cultivate some Core Formation realm experts as soon as possible, so we won’t be so passive.”
Bai Zihe nodded slightly.
It was all the better that his senior sisters had prepared in advance.
“When you return, try to accelerate the progress as much as possible. Do everything you can to cultivate the experts under your command, striving to achieve Nascent Soul or Spirit Transformation realm strength soon.”
After giving his instructions.
The senior sisters left.
Soon, Bai Zihe also began his actions.
Before facing Qin Changkong, he had another matter to attend to – setting up a formation, a formation that could envelop the entire Tenglong Bay villa.
This way.
Even if he were no longer around, Tenglong Bay villa would not be a place where anyone could enter or leave as they pleased.
It would also prevent.
When he fought Qin Changkong, Qin Changkong from sending people to raid his home.
He thought it, he did it.
Tenglong Bay villa covered an area of over a thousand square meters. While this area might be large for a house, it was child’s play for the formations Bai Zihe had comprehended from the nameless scripture.
After all.
Some formations could cover an area of thousands of miles. Once activated, they could summon wind and rain, obscure the sky and cover the sun, truly possessing invincible might.
"Swish!"
"Swish swish swish..."
Bai Zihe shuttled back and forth around the villa.
As streaks of light descended, a mysterious power began to spread within this small piece of land.
As Bai Zihe finished arranging the spirit stones.
“Heaven and Earth Divine Might, Zhu Quell Ghostly Thieves!”
“Six Yi Assist, Heavenly Dao Praises Virtue!”
“My belief is what I practice, nothing is impossible to attack!”
“Formation complete!”
With a shout from Bai Zihe, a powerful aura instantly surged outwards. After spreading for a hundred zhang, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier and then abruptly vanished.
Bai Zihe let out a long breath.
This formation was named the “Hun Yuan Yi Qi Formation.” Once completed, it could form an absolute defense over the covered area.
Not only could the outside be unable to forcibly break through, but there would also be various means within the formation.
Although the range of this formation was not large, it consumed eighty-six thousand four hundred spirit stones from Bai Zihe, and its power was incredibly potent.
Bai Zihe estimated.
Even a Tribulation Crossing realm expert would not be able to break through it in a short time!
The only drawback was that it required personnel to operate!
