Chapter 203: Nine-Nine Wind, Fire and Heavenly Thunder Talisman Array!

“Zixiao, did you have something to do when you went to the Treasure Pill Pavilion before?”

On the spirit boat, Lu Changsheng asked Ling Zixiao.

“Wasn’t it because I thought Lang Jun had a good relationship with the two little girls?”

“Thinking that now that we’re leaving, the two sisters will be lonely and helpless in the Immortal City, which is quite pitiful, so I introduced a few friends to them.”

“That way, if something happens in the future, they can seek help.”

Ling Zixiao was dignified, and her voice was gentle and soft.

As she spoke, she smiled slightly, revealing a bit of teasing, “I see that these two little girls are very reluctant to part with Lu Lang, and it seems they have a lot of affection for him.”

“If Lu Lang is willing, invite them, and maybe they will be willing to leave with you.”

Ling Zixiao’s lips curled up, with a hint of teasing.

“It’s just a fleeting encounter, they obviously have deep feelings for the Treasure Pill Pavilion.”

“So why make them leave the Nine Heavens Immortal City to follow me to such a small place?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said softly.

Just as Ling Zixiao said, if he invited Li Xingruo and her sister to leave with him, the two girls would definitely consider it seriously.

But he thought about it and didn’t choose to do so.

One reason was that if he made the invitation, the other party might not agree.

After all, his relationship with the two sisters was not deep enough to that extent.

And the two sisters obviously had deep feelings for the Treasure Pill Pavilion and were reluctant to part with it.

Otherwise, when faced with their previous predicament, they could have sold the shop and left.

With Li Xingruo’s alchemy talent, relying on the money left by her parents, it would obviously be better not to guard the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

On the other hand, what reason should he use to invite the two of them back together?

If the two agreed, how should he arrange for them?

Concubines?

Alchemy tools?

Guest elders?

So Lu Changsheng thought about it and decided against it.

After all, his basic principle was that if he took someone home, he had to fulfill certain obligations and responsibilities.

He had a lot of things to do now.

He didn’t want to spend too much time and energy on this for the time being.

Ling Zixiao just smiled faintly when she heard this and didn’t say much.

She looked at the surrounding scenery and said casually, “Where is Lu Lang in the Azure Cloud Realm?”

“Green Bamboo Mountain.”

“According to the distance, it will probably take four or five months to arrive.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He certainly couldn’t rush all the way back like this.

He needed to stop and rest along the way to relieve Ling Zixiao of the dragon’s yin energy.

“Green Bamboo Mountain.”

Ling Zixiao nodded thoughtfully when she heard this.

She had previously purchased information about Lu Changsheng from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

She knew that Lu Changsheng came from the Lu family of Green Bamboo Mountain.

However, the situation she learned from interacting with Lu Changsheng was completely different from the information about Lu Changsheng in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

“I have some opportunities and adventures, so I usually hide my abilities in Green Bamboo Mountain.”

“This time when I go back, I need you, Zixiao, to conceal some things about me.”

Lu Changsheng said, without hiding anything, revealing some of his situation and information.

He had revealed his second-order top-grade alchemy skills in front of Ling Zixiao.

After returning to Green Bamboo Mountain this time, although he was prepared to display his alchemy skills, it was impossible to reveal them all at once.

There needed to be a gradual process.

“Please rest assured, Lang Jun.”

Ling Zixiao showed an elegant smile on her face after hearing this.

She knew that the intelligence information from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was not wrong.

It was just that Lu Changsheng had been hiding his abilities, hiding them very deeply.

This made her secretly surprised.

According to the information from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Lu Changsheng was less than forty years old now.

At this age, he had not only broken through the Foundation Establishment stage but also raised the two skills of alchemy and talisman-making to the second order.

This was simply amazing.

She had an extraordinary talent in the art of formations and had been taught by a famous teacher to grow to where she was today.

But according to the information from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Lu Changsheng had failed the immortal sect assessment of the Azure Cloud Sect before becoming the Lu family’s son-in-law.

This shows that Lu Changsheng’s spiritual root talent should be very ordinary.

And as the Lu family’s son-in-law, even if Lu Changsheng had an extraordinary talent in the art of talismans and alchemy, without a famous teacher to guide him, it would be difficult to have such achievements.

What’s more, he had achievements in talisman-making, alchemy, and cultivation.

She didn’t think too much about this and chatted with Lu Changsheng.

She told him some of her own things, her past.

Telling her past and reminiscing about the past was beneficial to enhancing the relationship between the two.

“Huh!?”

Just after the two had chatted for a long time, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

“Lu Lang, what’s wrong?”

Ling Zixiao asked when she saw Lu Changsheng’s expression.

“It seems that we have been targeted by someone after leaving the Immortal City.”

Lu Changsheng frowned and smiled wryly.

With the help of the Violet Palace Pill, his divine consciousness had already been raised to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

So he had just noticed that a aura was rapidly approaching his direction.

But this speed kept a certain distance from his spirit boat.

This made Lu Changsheng, who had experienced many robbery and cultivation incidents, immediately guess that the other party was most likely coming for him and Ling Zixiao.

Thinking that after leaving a certain area of the Immortal City, they would come for a wave of interception and killing.

“Being targeted!?”

Ling Zixiao was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Although she was very weak due to the Dragon Yin Body, and her mana was less than 10%, her divine consciousness was not a problem.

And she had cultivated divine consciousness techniques and taken elixirs in this area, so her divine consciousness was far superior to her peers and comparable to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

But she hadn’t noticed anyone tracking them.

However, she would naturally not question Lu Changsheng’s statement.

After all, it was reasonable to say that someone was secretly watching her and wanted to kill and seize her treasures after she transferred and sold the shop and left the Nine Heavens Immortal City.

Immediately, Ling Zixiao took out a set of array tools from her storage bag and said, “Lu Lang, this set of ‘Heavenly Curtain Sumeru Array’ can cover up our figures and isolate our aura, making it difficult for even Foundation Establishment cultivators to discover.”

“Now you pull away and find a place to land, and we can hide with the array.”

Ling Zixiao said quickly.

As a formation master, she naturally had some tricks.

She had prepared several sets of array tools for self-defense.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng nodded when he heard this.

He controlled the spirit boat’s center, allowing the flying speed to increase to the fastest, drawing a stream of light in the sky.

With more than three hundred second-order spirit talismans, he was not afraid of this kind of interception and killing at all.

But he was now carrying a Ling Zixiao.

Although Ling Zixiao was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she was not as good as an ordinary Qi Refining Peak cultivator due to her physical weakness.

Therefore, he wanted Ling Zixiao to hide and protect herself through the array.

As for himself.

Since these people dared to chase after him, he would naturally not be polite.

He had spent a lot of spirit stones in the Nine Heavens Immortal City this time.

After returning to Green Bamboo Mountain, buying spirit land would also be a considerable expense.

Now that someone was here to give him money, he would naturally not be polite.

After a while.

The spirit boat landed on a mountain top.

“Zixiao, after you have set up the array, set up a defensive array for yourself.”

Lu Changsheng said to Ling Zixiao after putting away the spirit boat.

“Lu Lang, are you planning to…”

Ling Zixiao asked when she heard this, seeing Lu Changsheng’s calm and indifferent expression, she immediately realized his intention.

“That’s right, since they want to be robbers, they naturally have to pay the price.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was indifferent, and he smiled lightly.

Ling Zixiao was immediately surprised when she received confirmation.

She had experienced many things in the Nine Heavens Immortal City for so long.

She naturally knew that most of the people who dared to be robbers were not simple.

Especially this kind of secretly lurking, chasing all the way, usually had great confidence.

After all, being a robber was for money, and they wouldn’t take risks if they weren’t sure.

But Lu Changsheng dared to face it head-on after discovering that there were robbers secretly tracking him, wanting to kill the robbers, which was simply amazing.

Although she didn’t know exactly how strong Lu Changsheng was.

She thought he was at most in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

One was his age.

The other was that Lu Changsheng had shown her his middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

But thinking that Lu Changsheng could detect someone tracking him and dared to do this, Ling Zixiao didn’t persuade him too much.

She nodded and said, “Since Lu Lang is confident, I will first set up the ‘Small Upside Down Five Elements Array’ to ensure my safety.”

“Later, I will set up the ‘Small Shura Killing Array’, and Lu Lang can lead people into the array at that time.”

Ling Zixiao said quickly.

Between words, a set of array tools appeared.

She pinched her fingers with both hands, offering a pole of array flags, flying into the air.

Then she took out spirit stones, dialed the array plate, and set up the array not far away.

“Zixiao, be careful, don’t hurt your body, I am confident, there is no need to do this.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He naturally saw that Ling Zixiao wanted to contribute to prevent him from being defeated.

But in his opinion, unless the robbers who were chasing him were Core Formation real people, otherwise he was sure, there was no need to use the array.

But if they were Core Formation real people, they wouldn’t have been discovered by him.

So these robbers were at most Foundation Establishment.

“Lang Jun, this concubine knows.”

Ling Zixiao’s still pale face smiled slightly when she heard Lu Changsheng’s words.

Her hands were still pinching her fingers, simply arranging the simplified ‘Upside Down Five Elements Array’.

The arrangement of the array can be simplified and reduced in scope according to the number of array flags.

Now that time was limited, Ling Zixiao was simply using the array to protect herself, so it was very simple, only three feet in range.

After the ‘Upside Down Five Elements Array’ was arranged, Ling Zixiao walked into the array area.

Dialing the array plate, she made herself and the array directly disappear in front of Lu Changsheng.

“This is the simplified ‘Upside Down Five Elements Array’, as expected, it is extraordinary.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly as he watched the disappearing Ling Zixiao.

If he hadn’t seen Ling Zixiao disappear in front of him, and his divine consciousness was comparable to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it would have been difficult to capture Ling Zixiao’s aura.

Moreover, this ‘Inverted Five Elements Formation’ also has a hallucinatory effect.

Even if he captures Ling Zixiao’s aura, it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s where Ling Zixiao is located.

“In the future, when I establish my family, I’ll have two sets of formations, internal and external. The internal formation can use this complete version of the ‘Inverted Five Elements Formation’.”

Lu Changsheng mused to himself.

After a while, he saw a surge of aura within the formation.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Small flags flew out and landed in the distance.

He knew that Ling Zixiao was setting up another killing formation.

“Zixiao, the people are coming soon.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng sensed the aura coming from afar and said.

“That’s good.”

Ling Zixiao immediately transmitted her voice upon hearing this.

She adjusted the formation plate to complete the ‘Little Shura Killing Formation’ in the distance.

However, due to limited time, this ‘Little Shura Killing Formation’ only had a range of three zhang.

It could only be used as a small-scale trap.

“Lu Lang, be careful. If you can’t defeat them, lead the enemies into the killing formation.”

“My ‘Inverted Five Elements Formation’ can also share some of the pressure.”

Ling Zixiao transmitted her voice.

“Okay, don’t worry,”

Lu Changsheng said, gently raising his head to look at the distant sky.

Before long, a small flying boat appeared from afar.

“Five people?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he saw five figures standing on the spirit boat.

He had only sensed four auras before, thinking there were only four people.

Now, seeing the number of people on the spirit boat, he knew that one of them had concealed their aura, preventing him from noticing.

“Three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, one mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and one late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?”

Lu Changsheng used his divine sense to observe the five people’s cultivation levels.

Apart from one person who concealed their cultivation aura, making it impossible for him to determine, he could see the cultivation strength of the other four at a glance.

“Five Foundation Establishment rogue cultivators?”

Ling Zixiao, within the Inverted Five Elements Formation, was immediately shocked when she saw the spirit boat appearing in the sky and the figures on it.

Although she didn’t dare to use her divine sense to investigate these people’s situation,

she knew without thinking that those who dared to be rogue cultivators and pursue her and Lu Changsheng must have Foundation Establishment cultivation.

“May I ask if you fellow Daoists are looking for Ye?”

Lu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, stood with his hands behind his back, calmly speaking towards the sky.

“Greetings, Daoist friend. We’ve come to find Grandmaster Ling to discuss something with her.”

“May I ask where Grandmaster Ling is?”

The spirit boat flashed and crossed a great distance, arriving above the mountain top.

The leading person, whose cultivation strength Lu Changsheng couldn’t discern, was a middle-aged man with a face full of purple qi, radiating an imposing presence.

He looked at Lu Changsheng before him, then probed with his divine sense, searching for Ling Zixiao’s location.

Through tracking methods, he could roughly sense that Ling Zixiao’s aura was within this range.

“Oh? You have something to discuss with Grandmaster Ling.”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

He vaguely guessed that the other party might have malicious intentions because Ling Zixiao sold and transferred her shop, leaving Nine Heavens Immortal City.

Although Ling Zixiao’s daily expenses were basically used to prolong her life,

her accumulated wealth as a grandmaster of formations was still a huge sum for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, she had sold and transferred her shop and courtyard.

“Grandmaster Ling has some matters to attend to and has parted ways with me. If you fellow Daoists have anything to say, you can tell me.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

But before he could finish speaking, he waved his hands.

From his sleeves, hundreds of talismans emerged one after another, arranged in the air, quickly surrounding the five people on the spirit boat.

Under normal circumstances, he naturally wouldn’t need to use a talisman formation.

But since there were not only five people, but also a suspected late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator,

he decided to be cautious and not be frugal, thinking of using a talisman formation to quickly end the battle!

“So many talismans, be careful!”

“Is this a talisman formation?”

“Who are you,阁下!”

“Daoist friend, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We really came to find Grandmaster Ling for something.”

The five people were all shocked when they saw so many talismans and cried out.

They could clearly feel that among these hundreds of talismans, dozens of them were emitting a second-order aura.

To offer dozens of second-order spirit talismans and hundreds of first-order spirit talismans at the slightest disagreement, how could they withstand that? Even if they were rich, they wouldn’t burn money like that.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng’s talismans were neatly arranged, looking like the legendary talisman formation.

Therefore, faced with this kind of formation, they immediately extinguished the idea of robbery.

“Nine-Nine Wind Fire Heavenly Thunder Talisman Formation!!”

Lu Changsheng completely ignored the five people’s words and, with a thought, activated the talisman formation.

One top-grade second-order talisman, nine high-grade second-order talismans, eighteen mid-grade second-order talismans, and thirty-six low-grade talismans.

As well as one hundred and eight mid, high, and top-grade first-order talismans, were all activated together.

These talismans’ qi were connected, the five elements of wind and fire assisted each other, and heavenly thunder rumbled, arranged in all directions, covering the sky and earth, enveloping the five people on the spirit boat.

“Break for me!”

On the spirit boat, a thin middle-aged man in his thirties immediately sacrificed a pair of scissors spirit weapon, wanting to break through the talisman formation’s encirclement before its power could form.

However, the talisman formation instantly formed, a strong wind swept through, raging fire surged, and heavenly thunder rumbled, its power was astonishing, directly causing the scissors spirit weapon to wail.

“Kill!”

Lu Changsheng formed hand seals, directly activating the great formation, causing the talismans’ spirit energy to surge and begin to bombard.

“Not good, Second, Third, and Fifth!”

The leading purple-faced man also saw the power of this talisman formation.

He formed hand seals, spirit light surged around him, forming a layer of mana shield, and at the same time, he sacrificed a black pillar as thick as a bucket.

The black pillar flickered with a faint light, connected to the spirit boat, and generated a layer of majestic qi shield.

Hearing his voice, the other three people on the spirit boat also took action, sacrificing magic weapons.

But under the offensive of the Nine-Nine Wind Fire Heavenly Thunder Talisman Formation, the purple-faced man’s qi shield instantly cracked and was about to shatter.

The purple-faced man hurriedly shouted: “Daoist friend, misunderstanding! I came to find Grandmaster Ling to discuss something!”

“Hehe.”

Lu Changsheng’s lips curled up, and he sneered.

Ling Zixiao was not far away.

If she knew these people, she would have sent him a voice transmission long ago.

This person obviously thought that Ling Zixiao wasn’t here, wanting to confuse him with these words.

He understood this in his heart, formed hand seals, and fully urged the ‘Nine-Nine Wind Fire Heavenly Thunder Talisman Formation.’

He let the first-order talismans’ wind and fire assist, bringing the second-order talismans’ thunder and fire power to the extreme.

“Boom boom boom—”

The true power of the talisman formation began to erupt, thunder and fire surged, wildly bombarding, instantly shattering the black pillar’s qi shield.

However, the other four people had already sacrificed a red umbrella and a blue flag, layer upon layer of shields, to resist the talisman formation’s surging offensive.

But facing this talisman formation offensive, it was difficult to resist.

“Bastard, you’re going too far!”

The purple-faced man roared in anger, gnashing his teeth, and took out a talisman from his storage bag.

This talisman was thicker than ordinary talismans, and its volume was also slightly larger.

In the next moment, a lifelike bronze spear surged on the talisman, emitting a terrifying aura, causing Foundation Establishment cultivators to be terrified.

“Talisman Treasure!?”

Lu Changsheng recognized this talisman as a Talisman Treasure as soon as he saw it.

He thought to himself that it was indeed worthy of being a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He actually had a Talisman Treasure for self-defense.

Moreover, this Talisman Treasure looked like a superior Talisman Treasure, no worse than his original Golden Brick Talisman Treasure.

The other party had late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, and activating the Talisman Treasure with all his strength would be extremely powerful.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the Talisman Treasure was activated, transforming into a bronze spear, directly breaking open a corner of the ‘Nine-Nine Wind Fire Heavenly Thunder Talisman Formation,’ wanting to kill Lu Changsheng.

He knew that if the talisman formation continued to bombard like this, the five of them could only sit and wait for death.

He had to suppress Lu Changsheng with lightning speed.

“Swish swish swish—”

From Lu Changsheng’s sleeves, dozens more talismans flew out immediately.

Several transformed into golden and blue qi shields, protecting his body.

The others, neatly arranged, flew into the ‘Nine-Nine Wind Fire Heavenly Thunder Formation,’ replenishing the gaps in the talisman formation, allowing the power to continue to surge and attack.

At the same time, a blue talisman appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.

It was the Talisman Treasure he had once obtained from Meng Yibai.

Although this Talisman Treasure was an inferior Talisman Treasure, its power was average.

It could attack and defend, and it could also trap enemies, so its effect was very good.

In the next moment, the blue Talisman Treasure was activated by his mana.

Transforming into a water-light flowing blue jade ruler, several inches in size.

The jade ruler bloomed with dazzling light in the sky, splitting into two, two splitting into four, four splitting into eight, transforming into jade rulers, horizontally striking the bronze spear.

However, under the offensive of the bronze spear, the jade rulers continued to shatter.

“Boom boom boom—”

At the same time, the five people in the talisman formation were already clearly unable to support themselves under the wild bombardment.

The red umbrella and blue flag were all scorched under the bombardment of wind, fire, and heavenly thunder, causing Lu Changsheng to feel a pang of heartache.

This was all money!

“Explode!”

Seeing that several people were still constantly sacrificing magic weapons, talismans, and treasures to resist the talisman formation, Lu Changsheng immediately formed hand seals, uttered an indifferent syllable, and detonated the talisman formation.

As the syllable fell, in an instant, all the talismans’ qi merged together, permeating an extremely violent mana fluctuation.

Immediately after.

“Boom!!!!”

A surging and violent thunder-fire storm, like a mushroom cloud, suddenly appeared in the sky, and a earth-shattering explosion sounded!
