Chapter 76 Eight Trigrams Furnace Formation
"Leave? No, let's meet them here."
"The two of us are not enough to repair all eight great formations."
Luo Qing was worried about not having enough time to collect the materials for setting up the formation, but now, the helper has come on its own.
"What? Eight seats?"
Fan Jingmei didn't know why Luo Qing suddenly had such a big plan, but she still understood his meaning.
"You want those Crimson Fire Island cultivators to help you, but we killed Zhou Yuan and the other two. They would surely want to grind us to dust. How could they possibly agree to that?"
"I don't want to be a heretical cultivator on Whale Corpse Island either, but I'm only leaving the island now because I'm ordered to. Whether you're willing or not depends solely on whether you're strong enough."
Luo Qing spoke calmly, but dark golden spiritual power was already quietly flowing around her, and her three-stage golden body was slowly operating.
"Once I break their spirits, I'll naturally find a way to make them obediently collect spiritual materials."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a series of hurried footsteps came from the stairwell, followed by nine figures dressed in red robes filing in.
As soon as Zhao Fengyun, who was in charge, appeared, his gaze swept across the entire top floor like a knife, finally settling on Luo Qing and Fan Jingmei.
"Where is that vixen surnamed Liu? Hand her over, and I'll give you a quick death!"
Zhao Fengyun completely disregarded Luo Qing and Fan Jingmei, two cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, and immediately threatened them with a fierce expression.
At the same time, the eight Crimson Fire Island cultivators behind him quickly dispersed, summoned a crimson banner, and waved out streaks of crimson flames that intertwined to form a net that sealed off the escape route at the top floor!
Immediately, the giant golden sun dog took two steps forward, twitched its nose a few times, and barked at Fan Jingmei.
"This aura is actually yours?"
Zhao Fengyun immediately showed a look of surprise and doubt.
Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with Liu Yueru?
As Zhao Fengyun was pondering to himself, Luo Qing took a step forward, directly activating his Third-Stage Golden Body, his tone extremely arrogant, filled with undisguised arrogance:
"Stop guessing. I killed those three good-for-nothings, Zhou Yuan."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Zhao Fengyun and the eight cultivators from Crimson Fire Island were all taken aback, as if they hadn't heard him clearly.
Luo Qing scoffed, her tone extremely firm:
"Are you all deaf? Or are you saying you didn't come for Zhou Yuan and the others?"
But that's not important. Since we're here, let's not leave today.
"Hahaha!"
After a brief moment of astonishment, the people of Crimson Fire Island suddenly burst into laughter, their laughter filled with sarcasm and disdain.
A cultivator clutched his stomach and pointed at Luo Qing, mockingly saying:
"This heretical cultivator has probably corrupted his primordial spirit, daring to utter such arrogant words!"
Another monk chimed in:
"That's right! With our senior brother here, let alone an unknown nobody like him, even Liu Yueru, who is at the peak of Foundation Establishment and possesses countless treasures, would die here today!"
The doubt on Zhao Fengyun's face vanished completely, replaced by a chilling killing intent. He sneered, his gaze sweeping contemptuously over Luo Qing:
"You fool, since you've confessed, I'll grant your wish. However, you're not worth my personal attention."
He turned to his eight junior disciples behind him and gave them an order:
"Set up the formation!"
"yes!"
The eight cultivators from Crimson Fire Island responded in unison and rushed towards the array positions surrounding Luo Qing.
"Ah, I'm just about to see what they're like!"
Instead of retreating, Luo Qing charged forward towards the eight people.
In this way, the eight Foundation Establishment cultivators from Crimson Fire Island naturally took their positions around Luo Qing at an even faster pace, according to the Bagua directions.
The next moment, they simultaneously channeled their magical power into the crimson banners in their hands.
Suddenly, the eight Xuan Guang Crimson Fire Banners burst into raging crimson flames, the runes on the banners lit up, and one after another, chains of flame extended from the banners, intertwining and forming a crimson light array.
Immediately, the runes in the light array turned, and a huge phantom of a crimson Bagua alchemy furnace condensed.
The alchemy furnace stood on three legs, and inside was a sea of fire with no blind spots, trapping Luo Qing inside.
The scorching heat immediately caused the temperature on the top floor to rise sharply, and even the stone walls of the Mirror Tower were slightly reddened by the heat.
"This person truly has no idea of his own limitations!"
"That's right. If it weren't for our senior brother wanting us to practice our formations, he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator; he wouldn't have been worth us setting up an array to kill!"
"Fellow disciples, shall we bet on whether this person can survive until the deadline?"
...
The eight cultivators from Crimson Fire Island felt no tension about the battle at all. While maintaining the formation by channeling their magic power, they also chatted and laughed.
Only Fan Jingmei, who was already familiar with Luo Qing's style of doing things, was not worried about Luo Qing's safety at this time. Instead, she felt that these Crimson Fire Island cultivators were about to be in trouble.
Indeed, even within the formation, Luo Qing remained completely at ease, letting the sea of fire burn without showing any intention of breaking the formation.
It would be easy for him to kill these Crimson Fire Island cultivators, but to completely terrify them and make them willing to be his tools, he would have to give these guys a chance to act.
Suddenly, Meng Bao's voice rang out in Luo Qing's primordial spirit, carrying a hint of excitement:
"Master! This is a wonderful thing!"
The array patterns on this set of Mystic Light Crimson Fire Banners are of excellent quality. If they could be reforged with Golden Light Divine Fire, they should be perfect for assisting their master in cultivating the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique!
Luo Qing was overjoyed. He had only intended to recruit these people as laborers, but he hadn't expected to gain something unexpected.
He looked up at the Xuan Guang Crimson Fire Banner outside the formation, a burning glint in his eyes, as he let the waves of fire wash over him.
When the Three-Turn Golden Body was activated to its limit, the Iron Bone Shield was also activated by its Condensed Body, forming a dark golden light on its body surface.
The flames landed on the light membrane, making a "sizzling" sound, but they were unable to break through this seemingly thin defense.
Luo Qing carefully sensed the changes within his body. As expected, the consumption of magical power and blood energy was minimal, while the consumption of baleful energy was extremely drastic.
These Redfire Island cultivators used their magic to deplete his baleful aura, which almost made him laugh!
Outside the formation, Zhao Fengyun saw that Luo Qing was engulfed in flames but did not scream. He raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.
"You do have some skill, no wonder you're so arrogant, but how long can you endure this hardship?"
After saying that, he looked at Fan Jingmei beside him, and said with a hint of scrutiny:
"You must be the female cultivator from the Miaoyin Sect who accidentally entered the secret realm. Why did you get involved with the evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island and even kill my three junior brothers?"
Besides this kid, have you seen any other evil cultivators? How much do you know about Liu Yueru?
If you confess honestly, I might spare your life.
Ultimately, the only person Zhao Fengyun truly valued was Liu Yueru!
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingmei immediately sneered, her gaze falling on the still upright figure within the formation:
"The outcome is still uncertain, yet Senior Brother Zhao dares to make such boastful remarks? Isn't that a bit too overconfident?"
...
P.S.: I had a lot of writer's block today, but I'll still update another chapter.
