Chapter 47 Han Laomo's Methods
The message for help has been sent, but Kuixing Island is still quite a distance away.
Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator uses all their strength to fly away on their magical artifact, it would still take at least half a day to arrive and provide support.
For the next half day, Han Li planned to stay put and not come out, since he had already set up three large formations around his cave.
They are the Inverted Five Elements Formation, the Fierce Heavenly Wind Formation, and the Illusory Heavenly Net Formation.
All three are Foundation Establishment level formations, especially the Inverted Five Elements Formation, which can temporarily trap even Core Formation cultivators.
Therefore, even though he only had the cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining at the moment, he was not afraid of those uninvited guests who broke through the formation and entered the island without saying a word.
"Disturbing my peaceful cultivation is a death sentence!"
A cold glint flashed in Han Li's eyes, and his aura suddenly became sharp.
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the herb garden like a ghost, leaving Qu Hun standing there like a statue.
......
At the same time, on the outskirts of Xiaohuan Island.
Nie Shan, along with Luo Qing and twelve other disciples at the late stage of Qi Refining, were flying through the air on their magical artifacts.
In his hand, he held a newly refined array-breaking cone, the tip of which still retained a trace of the array's spiritual energy.
"The island's protective formation has been breached!"
Nie Shan's voice was low and deep, carrying a hint of barely perceptible solemnity.
"The spiritual veins on this island are one of the outer defenses, and there must be cultivators stationed there. Everyone, be on your guard!"
"Luo Shiba, you take three men and follow me in a frontal assault! The rest of you, flank from both sides!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qing muttered to himself.
As he had hoped, Nie Shan led him away from the main battlefield where they might encounter Core Formation cultivators.
They only said that their mission was to destroy the foundation of a great formation, but they didn't tell him the name of the island, nor did they mention the cultivation level of the cultivators stationed on it.
They've clearly used him as a tool!
Fortunately, Luo Qing was confident in his strength. Among the Qi Refining stage cultivators, he was not invincible, but he was certainly hard to beat.
Even if he were to encounter a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment alone, the opponent would surely perish under his fists if he underestimated them even slightly.
Therefore, Luo Qing didn't say much at the moment. He selected three people and followed closely behind Nie Shan, flying towards the depths of the island.
After passing through an ordinary, quaint town, the scenery ahead suddenly changed.
A thick, swirling white fog appeared before everyone's eyes without warning.
The fog was so thick that it covered the entire mountain peak, making it difficult even for divine sense to penetrate.
"A bewitching formation? That's a bit tricky."
Nie Shan frowned and pondered for a moment, then realized that things were getting a bit tricky.
Even his mid-Foundation Establishment stage divine sense felt as if it had fallen into a quagmire within this white mist, making it difficult to move.
If we were to rush in directly, it would probably take a considerable amount of time.
However, Kui Xing Island was nearby, and his original plan was to complete the mission and evacuate within an hour!
No sooner had he finished speaking than one of the Qi Refining disciples beside Luo Qing suggested:
"Uncle-Master, it would be unwise to rush into the formation. Why don't we slaughter the mortal town we just passed and see if we can force them out?"
After all, the cultivator guarding this island has a responsibility to protect those mortals; if he doesn't stop us, he will certainly be punished afterwards.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qing's gaze shifted slightly, and she secretly began to scrutinize Nie Shan. Seeing that he was seriously considering the matter, she felt a chill run down her spine.
But before Nie Shan could make a decision, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, the white mist a hundred feet ahead came to life, surging towards them like a tidal wave.
"Not good! Retreat immediately!"
Nie Shan exclaimed in surprise and turned to flee.
But the next moment, a celestial melody suddenly emanated from the white mist, melodious and captivating, melting away as soon as it entered the ear.
Nie Shan suddenly felt the scene before him blur. The original white mist disappeared, replaced by a magnificent palace with jade towers and pavilions. Several fairies dressed in colorful robes were dancing gracefully, their celestial music filling the air and making one's heart flutter.
Not only Nie Shan, but the other eleven Qi Refining disciples also stood there with dazed eyes, letting the white mist rush in at an accelerated pace.
Only Luo Qing felt a slight dizziness the moment the celestial music entered her ears, and immediately regained her senses.
He glanced around and immediately understood.
Everyone was captivated by the ethereal music, but he remained unharmed.
The white mist was now almost within reach; in just one more breath, they would all be swallowed up by it!
Although Luo Qing was confident of escaping, he thought again that if he fled alone, he would definitely be targeted by the owner of this formation.
He currently knows nothing about the enemy's cultivation level and methods, and it would be unwise to rashly expose his own special abilities.
Rather than doing that, it's better to temporarily pretend to be the deceived prey and be drawn into the trap along with everyone else.
With his divine sense, this mere bewitching array couldn't possibly trap him!
The thought had barely formed when a thick white fog swept in, engulfing Luo Qing and the other twelve people.
Meanwhile, deep within the cave on Little Huan Island.
Han Li was standing in front of a fog mirror, in which the scene within the white fog was clearly reflected.
Thirteen figures surrounded them from three directions, but they were all trapped in the Illusionary Heavenly Net Formation.
Although it was just a small trick to deliberately reduce the range of the formation, the effect was surprisingly good!
Soon, Han Li saw Nie Shan and the others break free from the illusion and begin to grope around aimlessly in the white mist.
Some shouted loudly, some rushed forward with their heads covered, and others stood still to observe the situation.
Even though they were so close, they were completely isolated from each other by the Illusionary Heavenly Net Array, unable to hear or see each other.
Those cultivators who ran or flew away with their heads covered were just spinning in circles and had no chance of escaping by chance.
"One person in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, twelve people in the late-Qi Refining stage..." A cold smile curled at the corner of Han Li's mouth. "Although I don't know your purpose in coming here, you seem to think highly of my little Huan Island."
After saying that, Han Li turned his gaze to Nie Shan.
This person was not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also took out a compass-shaped magic artifact and was activating it, seemingly having a way to escape.
"Since you're so eager to escape, then go and stay in the Reversed Five Elements Formation!"
Han Li murmured, made a hand seal with one hand, and a flash of spiritual light appeared at his fingertips as he pointed at another array plate beside him, which was engraved with the five elements runes.
Just as Nie Shan was getting a clue amidst the white mist, the scene before him suddenly changed, transforming into a bamboo forest.
"This is...."
Nie Shan was startled. Before he could react, a scorching heat wave suddenly surged out from the depths of the bamboo forest!
"boom!"
The bamboo forest was instantly engulfed by a sea of fire, with flames soaring high that the air itself seemed to distort.
Before Nie Shan could unleash his defensive magic weapon, the sea of fire suddenly vanished, replaced by a frozen wasteland, where a biting chill instantly enveloped him.
Nie Shan extended his divine sense, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea; he couldn't find a way out.
Panicked, Nie Shan quickly summoned a small bronze shield to protect himself, while simultaneously casting spells and randomly bombarding the area in front of him.
But his attacks landed on empty air, hitting only invisible barriers and producing dull thuds.
Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath Nie Shan's feet suddenly lit up with five-element array patterns, and a powerful spatial force suddenly surged forth, pulling his figure to the side and making him only able to scream in vain within the illusion and restrictions.
