The stolen magic is a bit magical

What is a "troublemaker"?
The ancient texts record that it was born in the cracks between the laws of heaven, and was created by the intertwining of the seven laws, which could disrupt the laws of the world.

In layman's terms: the greatest function of this insect is to "disrupt the seven laws of heaven," and its most appropriate use lies in the array formation.

The array is a sophisticated "power-borrowing instrument" that uses the power of the heavens to achieve goals that are unattainable by ordinary people.

The laws and rules of the array formation are extremely strict.

If the Chaos Insect appears, a gap will inevitably appear in the array!

Whether the true Great Zhou Tian Formation can be disrupted is another matter, but the "Great Zhou Tian Small Formation" or "Pseudo Great Zhou Tian Formation" that Lin Xiaosu can currently use can definitely create an opening in this Chaotic World Insect.

The most dangerous thing is that the bronze box contained a female insect.

Once released and coming into contact with the Seven Laws of Heaven, it will continuously generate, one begets two, two begets three, three begets countless more...

Lin Xiaosu felt a chill on her back.

Fortunately, he had made advance arrangements and arrived at the enemy camp ahead of time, accurately selecting this beast tamer. Otherwise, even if he had quietly set up the "Great Zhou Small Killing Formation," this crucial variable could still have led to failure.

Is this the only "little surprise" the other party has prepared?
That's not all!
Lin Xiaosu obtained the final answer from the consciousness of this beast tamer, who was also a slave.

Ji Nu's mission is to break through Xueyi Hou's formation.

He did not intend to take Xueyi Hou's head.

The one who truly wants his head is someone else.

This man's name was Ji Fan, and he was a monk from Puji Temple, one of the three great Buddhist and Taoist temples of the time.

He was in another tent protected by silver armor.

Lin Xiaosu's senses bypassed him and the hundreds of soldiers among the monks, reaching the tent. He sensed the monk's combat strength, which should be at the peak of the Dao-Holding Realm.

Such combat power makes them a formidable opponent for Lin Xiaosu at this moment.

But with such fighting strength, can we be sure of taking his head?

Lin Xiaosu was somewhat puzzled.

Even though he was a beast enslaver, he didn't know the monk's specific combat methods or his killing techniques. He only knew that Yan Huang, the commander of the Yan Kingdom, valued the monk highly and seemed very confident that as long as Ji Fan made a move, he would definitely be able to kill Su Lin, regardless of Su Lin's previous achievements.

So, what exactly is he relying on?

Lin Xiaosu sat by the window, her withered fingers gently stroking the smooth wooden coffee table, completely baffled.

Following the example of the current possession, how about directly possessing this Ji Fan?
This is impossible.

Although Buddhism doesn't have many positive images in Lin Xiaosu's dictionary, it is undeniable that the primordial spirits of most eminent Buddhist monks are extremely powerful.

Lin Xiaosu had left his original physical body and the Sea of ​​Wheels where the Seven Laws coexisted. With just his primordial spirit, he couldn't possibly deal with this Daoist. If he acted blindly, and his primordial spirit was locked by the other party's Buddhist teachings and probed in reverse, then the trouble would be immense—he had no doubt about the achievements of Buddhism and Taoism in the realm of the primordial spirit.

Time passes by minute by minute.

The night was gradually torn apart.

The northern sun has reappeared.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and mist, illuminating the Zheyun Terrace.

A fierce wind howled through the air, while a large flag fluttered on the stage.

The largest flag at the top stands tall, with a black background and a dragon emblem, the Great Wilderness Army Flag.

Beneath the military flag, a man gazed up at the distant mountains. His half-inch beard was as hard as iron, and he wore a set of blood-red armor that resembled a blood dragon coiling around him.

He is General Blood Dragon, the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies.

In the past, Blood Dragon could kill millions on the battlefield with ease, but today, Blood Dragon was somewhat agitated.

Because Mad Wolf reported to him that someone would be coming to Zheyuntai today.

This person was the key to getting him out of prison.

This person was the one who advised His Majesty to allow Blood Dragon to return to Zheyuntai.

This man, who rose from the Heart Pavilion to a high-ranking official in the imperial court in just six months, is the most legendary marquis in history: Marquis Xueyi.

Clouds drift and swirl in the sky.

Three figures arrived, seemingly stepping into thin air.

On the left and right sides were beauties of unparalleled beauty, and in the middle was a handsome and dashing man dressed in snow-white clothes.

It was Lin Xiaosu, Hu Ji, and Qingying who arrived.

Blood Dragon stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Marquis!"

He held the rank of a third-grade military officer.

Lin Xiaosu is a third-rank civil official, and also holds the title of Marquis.

Whether it's an official position, a noble title, or a past favor.

Lin Xiaosu was more than worthy of such a great gift from him.

But Lin Xiaosu moved her feet and landed in front of him in mid-air. She gently raised her hand and supported his arms: "Marshal Xue, there is no need for such formalities. I have come here today only as your strategist to devise a strategy for our army to defeat the enemy."

All the generals on Zheyun Terrace were overjoyed.

Blood Dragon laughed heartily: "When you went south of the Yangtze River, you had already demonstrated the essence of military strategy layer by layer. Zhang Tao regarded you as a master of military strategy. Today, you have entered my Zheyuntai. The 300,000 troops are blessed! Please enter the commander's tent, my lord!"

"Marshal, please!"

The group entered the main tent.

Inside the tent, a large flagpole stood in the center, with a huge map below it. The location where the flag was planted was exactly where the map showed. When the flag was unfurled, the map seemed to come alive. They were in the commander's tent, but it felt like they were in the wilderness.

Zhang Tao gave Lin Xiaosu a full report...

The number of people on both sides is roughly equal, around 300,000 each, but in terms of combat strength, the other side is far superior.

Because the opponent was the Bloodfire Legion, one of the strongest legions in the Yan Kingdom.

At the beginning of the major battle before the Lunar New Year last year, the troops here witnessed firsthand what the strongest Yan army truly was.

That indomitable fighting spirit...

Those were cultivation and combat abilities that everyone was eyeing from the heavens...

Those highly reinforced swords, spears, and armor...

They were just a hair's breadth away from breaching the Zheyuntai.

In that battle, even General Blood Dragon was wounded, and more than 70,000 of his soldiers were killed or wounded.

If the battle had not been so perilous, given Blood Dragon's unwavering tradition of never retreating first in countless battles, he would never have asked His Majesty for help.

Since the Zhen Tian team joined the battle, they have finally stabilized the situation.

Later, a scandal involving the ruler of Yan broke out, which severely damaged the enemy's morale and gradually eased the tensions of the battle...

At this point, Xuelong added, "Zhang Tao deserves great credit for striking at the enemy's morale. The song that spread throughout the army was written by him personally, and he personally arranged for it to be sent to the Yan army camp."

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "The heart of the Yan king is filled with righteous indignation, for whom did the bloody battles at the border go... Is this the poem?"

Everyone in the command tent laughed: "Exactly!"

Blood Dragon said, "Once this song spread, the morale of the Yan Kingdom plummeted. If it weren't for these series of actions, we probably wouldn't have been able to spare any manpower to support the Marquis when he summoned the Zhentian Battle Team yesterday."

Zhang Tao was embarrassed: "Marshal, please don't praise me like that. I only learned a little bit of military strategy from you when I went down to the south of the Yangtze River. It was all thanks to your teachings. The reason why this song spread so quickly is because of its wonderful melody. This melody is also borrowed from your poem 'Spring River Flower Moon Night'."

Lin Xiaosu patted his shoulder: "When soldiers reach the higher ranks, everything can be used. General Zhang has truly grasped the essence of military strategy!"

Zhang Tao was truly happy.

Just as he said that day...

Gu Suixin said he had mastered the art of war, but he wasn't happy. Only when Lord Su said he had mastered it did he truly feel happy.

Today, the former Lord Su, now the Marquis, praises him for his profound understanding of the essence of military strategy—this is authoritative certification.

Lin Xiaosu said, "Brothers, you've suffered in the past wars! From today onwards, I, the Marquis, have come to the border to determine a war strategy..."

The audience was silent.

Standing beneath the banner, Lin Xiaosu made arrangements and deployments...

In the Yan army camp, the "dried-up" Lin Xiaosu sat by the window, carefully studying the beast-taming techniques recorded in Ji Nu's sea of ​​consciousness.

The art of taming beasts is actually similar to secondary divine arts; both involve the invasion of consciousness, connecting and controlling the sea of ​​consciousness of humans and beasts to achieve the purpose of taming beasts.

In theory, having received this "unreserved" method of beast taming, he should be able to learn the art of beast taming.

However, the frustrating thing is that there are certain requirements for performing this beast-taming technique.

The threshold is the lifeblood.

Beastmasters possess a unique physique; their bloodline is the Beast God bloodline passed down from their ancestors. Only with this physique can they connect with countless beasts instantly. Without this special bloodline, the art of beast taming is ultimately ineffective, at best only connecting a few or a dozen beasts, far from achieving the goal of having hundreds of millions of beasts move simultaneously once tamed.

That is why there are actually very few beast tamers, even within the beast taming sect.

The vast majority of those who follow the Beast Taming Sect do not possess the qualifications to tame beasts; instead, they take a different path—the path of strengthening their own cultivation by using exotic beasts.

So this body seems to have some value. If we use this body to command beasts, it would be a surprising and effective weapon.

The only regret is that this body is too ugly and too old.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door: "Master Ji, the Commander requests your presence!"

Lin Xiaosu slowly walked to the door, opened the tent flap, and saw three men in silver armor outside.

"Going to the commander's tent?" Lin Xiaosu's voice came out in her most familiar tone, the same as Ji Nu's voice in the past, sinister and deep.

"Yes!"

Lin Xiaosu slowly walked towards the commander's tent.

He had seen Ji Nu's gait many times through time travel, and when he performed it now, there was nothing unusual about it.

He entered the commander's tent when no one was on guard.

This command tent is much larger than the one in the Great Wilderness, but it only houses five people.

At the head of the main seat sat a man whose entire body, down to the tips of his hair, was radiating energy. He had a ruddy face, a full beard, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. He was none other than Yan Huang, the marshal of the Bloodfire Legion of the Yan Kingdom.

The first person sitting to Yan Huang's left was none other than the monk Ji Fan.

The right side is reserved for him.

Lin Xiaosu sat down, and a military maid served her tea.

Yan Huang waved his hand gently, and the military girl left the main tent.

Only four people remained in the main tent: Jia Lin and Xiao Su, making a total of five.

Lin Xiaosu felt a slight ripple in her heart. This large tent was so big that it could normally accommodate over a hundred people.

In the past, when the commanders held meetings, there were indeed hundreds of people present. He had seen this many times in the Ji Nu Yuan Shen Imprint. But today, there were only five people. The fewer people there were, the bigger the matter was.

Yan Huang spoke up: "Masters, I have just received intelligence from the other side that Marquis Su Lin in Snow Robes has arrived at the army camp!"

Master Jifan suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. At this moment, he no longer resembled a monk.

Lin Xiaosu also looked up and met Yan Huang's unfathomable eyes.

Yan Huang said, "That traitor Su plans to use the 'Zhou Tian Formation' to wipe out my vanguard army in one fell swoop! Master, you need to be prepared!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled coldly: "How could this kid possibly set up a true Zhou Tian Formation? It's nothing but a pseudo-Zhou Tian Formation. Commander, rest assured, I guarantee that his so-called Zhou Tian Formation will crumble in an instant and fall apart."

Yan Huang said, "Even a master should not underestimate it. After all, this formation destroyed the Demon Emperor's Palace on the day it was created and the Thousand Poisons Sect yesterday. Even if, as you say, it is not a true Zhou Tian Formation, its power is still extraordinary."

Lin Xiaosu said, "That's because this thief hasn't run into my 'Troublemaker' yet!"

Yan Huang nodded slightly: "That's true! Then I'll trouble you, Master!"

Lin Xiaosu cupped his hands in greeting: "General, you need not worry about the matter of array formations... What I am worried about is that Su is clever and unpredictable, and has repeatedly broken out of the ordinary framework. Have you made thorough preparations for a decisive move against him?"

Yan Huang smiled: "Master Ji Fan is absolutely certain that there will be no problem with the thief's killing move, so you don't need to worry."

"Absolutely foolproof? How so?" Lin Xiaosu turned her gaze to Ji Fan: "Master, please forgive my rudeness, but this young man is indeed too special..."

Ji Fan slowly shifted his gaze over and smiled faintly: "Amitabha, although this matter is top secret, I must tell Master Ji about it today, because I also need Master Ji to exert his full strength, to break the great formation with the most powerful methods and the most decisive attitude. The more thoroughly the formation is broken, the higher the chance of success."

"Master, please speak frankly!" Lin Xiaosu's eyes flashed.

Ji Fan said, "This old monk possesses a Bodhi tree, within which lies the will of the 'Buddha Venerable.' Once unleashed, all things within a hundred miles will lose their spirit! As long as we lock onto Su's true form, this old monk is certain that there will be no mishap!"

Lin Xiaosu was horrified: "The will of the Buddha? Even Zhi San can erase consciousness and primordial spirit?"

“A single will cannot destroy a third-level cultivator, but no one can stop a second-level cultivator. This boy’s cultivation level should not have reached the second level!” Ji Fan said.

“That’s for sure!” Lin Xiaosu said. “In that case, the primary goal is actually to pinpoint this kid’s true identity.”

“Exactly!” Yan Huang said, “This boy is cunning and unpredictable, and skilled in disguise. His true form may not be his true form. If he uses such a deadly weapon and kills a fake body, it would be a waste of this enormous opportunity. However, when he sets up the Zhou Tian Formation, he will definitely be there in his true form. If the Zhou Tian Formation is severely impacted, he will definitely make strong repairs, and then he will be unable to disguise himself…”

A plan was made for Yanhuang.

The plan was meticulously crafted.

This powerful weapon is the will of the Buddha sealed within a Bodhi tree.

This is a one-time, powerful weapon.

It can only be released once.

Therefore, we must not release the hawk until we see the rabbit.

It must not be used until its true form is seen.

As he said, Su Lin is extremely skilled at disguise; he could impersonate Li Chengnian and no one would recognize him.

Who knows if what he says to the outside world is true or false?
A face is easy to fake, but who can fake mastery of array formations?
Therefore, the consensus reached by everyone is that when he sets up the Zhou Tian Formation on the spot, his true body must be right next to him, and once the Zhou Tian Formation encounters a strong counterattack, he will definitely use the foundation of the formation to repair it.

This repair process truly tests one's mastery of array formations.

There is absolutely no one who can replace him except himself.

The person who made the repairs was none other than Su Lin himself.

Now that this is confirmed, the old monk can make his move, using the Buddha's will to kill him!

This was the "little surprise" that the Yan army had prepared for him.

In fact, this little surprise was quite big...

Lin Xiaosu's heart was in turmoil. The Buddha Venerable, from the most remote western spiritual mountain in the Spirit Realm, was not among the "Nineteen Heavenly Beams," yet his prestige was in no way inferior to that of the peerless Buddha Venerable, the Lord of the Heavenly Capital...

His will actually became the trump card to kill me, Lin Xiaosu.

In this world, how many people want me dead?
How many people's interests have I actually threatened?
It seems that every step taken will bring out a formidable opponent.

The Path of the Heart, the Gate ... Ten Thousand Poisons, the Gate of Beast Taming...

Now even the sacred Buddhist mountains, which are detached from worldly affairs, are mixed in!

Well, you're both so competitive, aren't you?

I'll let you guys play a game!

Wait……

My true self had just devised a grand strategy in the command tent at Zheyuntai, and the news has already reached the ears of the Yan army commander so quickly.

Which traitor did it?

With two large armies facing off, infiltration by spies on both sides is inevitable.

Investigating this won't be something that can be done overnight.

Originally, Lin Xiaosu thought it was unlikely that he could find out about this mole, but his time rewind allowed him to capture the exact moment when Yan Huang received the message.

The timing was aligned with the consciousness of the original being, who was far away at Zheyuntai.

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat.

At this point in time, the generals had just left their command tents and were on their way back. In other words, the news had not yet reached the ears of the entire army, and only twenty-seven key generals knew about it.

The pool of traitors narrowed down instantly to just these twenty-seven key generals.

"Zhang Tao, come for a walk with me!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Zhang Tao happily followed along.

Lin Xiaosu appeared to be patrolling Zheyuntai aimlessly, but with the Heavenly Eye and the ability to rewind time, he had complete control over the actions of the twenty-seven generals.

Tracing back to the ninth person!

He Jiangyuan, commander of the 40,000-strong contingent.

Lin Xiaosu has locked onto it.

it's him.

Although his communication actions were extremely secretive, the timing of the communication and the air fluctuations caused by the special transmission method were still clearly seen by Lin Xiaosu.

"My lord, what has happened?" Zhang Tao asked.

Lin Xiaosu said, "Have you considered that there might be a traitor among our higher-ups?"

Zhang Tao's eyes suddenly widened...

A voice from Lin Xiaosu entered his mind: "You will issue accurate battle orders to the generals separately. The orders to the others will be genuine battle orders, except for one person. Give him a fake order..."

After making these arrangements, Zhang Tao felt a surge of emotions.

Upon discovering the traitor, they devised a plan to use him to spread incorrect military orders and mislead the enemy.

I've learned another trick!
But such a tactic is probably only something the Marquis could pull off. Who else has such accurate judgment as him?

into the night!

At the summit of Zhongshan Mountain, Yan Huang, the commander of the Yan army, had a fervent light in his eyes.

According to the inside report, Su Lin's specific action plan has been finalized. The army will march out of Zheyuntai at night, launch a two-pronged attack, and deploy the Zhou Tian Formation to annihilate the 100,000 vanguard troops.

One hundred thousand vanguard troops are in the valley ahead.

Yan Huang did not disturb them.

The saying goes that to catch big fish, you need to use fragrant bait, and the 100,000-strong vanguard was the fragrant bait in his hands.

Su Lin, Blood Dragon, didn't you want to devour my vanguard?
Swallow it!
And I can take this opportunity to stay outside the formation, disrupt the formation, and kill the person who set it up. In this war between two nations, one battle will decide the fate of the world!

Your life, Su Lin, is a great gift that I, the commander, offer to His Majesty the King. The foundation of high office and lasting prosperity will be laid tonight!

The hour is approaching.

The world was utterly silent.

Yan Huang's eagle eyes were firmly fixed on the dark night sky above the vanguard.

According to the inside report, midnight is the time when the general offensive will begin, and this time is rapidly approaching second by second.

Yan Huang turned his gaze to Master Ji Nu beside him: "Master, tonight is the most crucial night for you. Are you ready?"

"Ready!" The master raised his eyes, his gaze filled with intense killing intent and a hint of mockery...

"Strive to disrupt the enemy's formation while also forcing out their formation base, making it easier for the central army to hunt them down," Yan Huang said.

This is their plan. Although the vanguard is just bait, they can't really annihilate an army of 100,000 in one fell swoop. So, when the enemy activates their formation, Master Ji Nu will release the "Chaos Worm" to disrupt their formation. Once the formation is disrupted, the formation base may be revealed. Then, the rested central army will launch a lightning attack to directly attack the formation base. In this way, the enemy will surely suffer a crushing defeat, and Su Lin will inevitably be exposed. Master Ji Fan, who is also prepared, will launch a fatal blow, wiping out Su Lin and the commander of the Great Wilderness Border Army who is with Su Lin in one fell swoop. How can the Great Wilderness Army not be utterly defeated? Taking advantage of the momentum, if nothing unexpected happens tonight, they will capture Zheyuntai.

“No problem!” the master said. “You will be able to see all the array bases soon!”

Yan Huang was overjoyed: "Master, are you confident that you can force out all the array bases?"

"Watch!" Master Ji Nu suddenly raised his finger!
With a simple gesture, a beam of azure light shot from his palm, piercing the heavens.

With a soft hum, a misty blue fog suddenly filled the air, enveloping the entire... central army!
At the end of the blue mist, the pitch-black sky suddenly vanished, and over a hundred warships covered the entire sky...

Yan Huang actually saw the warships in the sky serving as the base of the formation.

but……

Things are so unusual...

Because this great formation did not cover the vanguard, but the central army!

Yan Huang shouted, "The intelligence is wrong!"

Chi!
A sharp sword light, carrying unparalleled killing intent, suddenly appeared between his brows.

This sword strike was extremely sudden.

This sword strike transcends time and space.

Although Yan Huang was also a master at the Enlightenment level and a member of the Wild Wolf clan, possessing an exceptionally strong body and incredibly fast reflexes, he had absolutely no chance to react to this sudden sword strike.

puff!
His forehead was pierced!

His primordial spirit suddenly flew up and crashed into the aftershocks of the sword path. These aftershocks were spatial turbulence, and his primordial spirit shattered instantly upon impact.

The final moments of the primordial spirit's demise were filled with astonishment.

Because this sword light originated from Master Ji Nu beside him.

The man who had killed him with a single sword stroke changed his face, transforming from an ugly old man into a dashing young man. His figure also suddenly grew a foot taller, and he was no longer dressed in blue, but in a snow-white marquis's robe.

Marquis of Snow Robes!
Su Lin!

He is not a slave, he is Su Lin...

This is Yan Huang's last memory. (End of Chapter)
