After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 29: Letting Go? That's Impossible 2
“Master, the stone golem won’t last long before it shatters into dust and can’t be restored. Should I go instead?” the spirit sword said.

The stone golem isn't some rare and precious treasure; it's just ordinary stone, so it's normal that it's not very durable. As long as the spiritual energy in its body isn't completely depleted, it can regenerate on the spot even if it's scattered or split into several pieces.

Once blasted into dust, it cannot be restored, but any remaining spirit stone energy will be absorbed by the formation, so it is not wasted.

"No need, just stay here and wait for him to call."

She pulled people into the formation to fight, not only to prevent them from sending signals to find someone to rescue her, but also to deplete their physical and spiritual energy, just like when she fought those monsters last time.

She can set up this formation even more perfectly, and she has added more elements to it than last time. If she still can't win under these circumstances, then she should reflect on her actions.

The male cultivator's robes looked expensive, and the magical artifacts and techniques he used were extremely evil. I wonder if he was a high-ranking member of some evil cultivation sect or a scion of a noble family who took shortcuts.

In short, no matter which type it is, there are definitely good things in the storage bag.

She underestimated the speed of her opponent; the stone golems were too numerous to break, and she made her way to the center of the formation.

Lin Yan certainly wouldn't wait at the core of the formation. She designed a formation within a formation, and would activate the formation once the person reached the core.

Setting up this array within an array cost her fifty high-grade spirit stones. If she hadn't been lucky enough to have spirit stones with her, she would have run away if she encountered someone with a higher cultivation level than her, and wouldn't have thought of trying to steal the treasure.

This person probably never imagined that she had prepared a formation within a formation.

While learning about illusion arrays, she wondered why, since arrays are self-contained microcosms, they couldn't be nested within larger arrays like matryoshka dolls. She deduced this in her mind and found that it was possible.

This is the first time using a formation within a formation; hopefully, it can last a long time. Ideally, she should deplete the opponent's spiritual energy and stamina to half, and then launch a sneak attack while the opponent is replenishing their spiritual energy.

She waited a short while before the small formation was broken, and she was teleported directly to the vicinity of the large formation. The moment she was teleported out, she made her move!
She drew upon all her spiritual power, waiting for this one fatal opportunity!
Lin Yan's attack was destined to hit. Her opponent reacted quickly to block, but still couldn't stop it, and Lin Yan pierced straight through. With another palm strike, Lin Yan slammed the opponent to the ground.

The male cultivator, on the verge of death, managed to utter, "I am...an elder of the Longevity Pavilion...please...please spare me...I am willing to offer...a treasure..."

Let him go? Impossible! If she lets him go, once he recovers, will he let her go?

Although she didn't know how an elder could appear alone in the Myriad Demon Forest, that wasn't important. What she needed to consider was whether the person was truly dead!
Her eyes flashed with ruthlessness as she condensed fireballs and hurled them at the opponent, who became completely still.

The spirit sword was stained with blood, but Lin Yan used a spell to make it as clean as ever!

The spirit sword readily slipped from her hand, unleashing a series of sword energies to slice the motionless male cultivator in half like cutting a watermelon, before boasting, "Hehe, did I do it right?"

Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction, walked over and took away the other party's storage bag and magic weapon.

She dispelled the formation, took away the formation plate, and didn't return the unused spirit stones to her. Instead, she stored them in the formation plate as energy to activate the formation next time.

The Crimson Demon had already dealt with the Lion Beast, and was now sitting obediently beside the corpse, waiting for her to come out.

Upon seeing her master emerge from the formation, the Crimson Enchantress immediately stood up, happily leaping to her side and affectionately rubbing against her leg. "Well done." She gently patted the Crimson Enchantress's head, then walked to the lion beast's side and used the bottle to collect the corpse.

There had just been a battle here; it wasn't appropriate to stay any longer. She decisively led the Crimson Enchantress and the Spirit Sword away. Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead. She stopped, her brow furrowed, and she became wary.

A huge black crocodile emerged from the forest, and with a sweep of its tail, massive trees fell to the ground.

It's a Tier 7 Abyssal Crocodile, usually slumbering in deep abyssal valleys, rarely waking up. This valley is probably its sleeping place; perhaps the continuous battles within it woke it up!
This is really... not good!
"Hurry!" she exclaimed, quickly picking up the Crimson Demon and returning the spirit sword to the mark on her wrist. With nimble movements, she darted through the forest.

The seventh-tier abyssal crocodile would not let her go easily. Its massive body chased after her relentlessly, and trees fell wherever it passed.

Lin Yan carried the Red Enchantress and ran desperately, her forehead covered in sweat and her breathing becoming rapid.

In the central and outer rings of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, flying artifacts were unusable, let alone sword flight. If she could have used a sword, she wouldn't have been chased so relentlessly.

Sigh, when we were killing the monsters, we should have used force to subdue one of the flying monsters instead of killing them all...

The red-clad demon squirmed restlessly in her arms, trying to break free and help. "Don't move!" she shouted, her escape speed undiminished.

She's the kind of person who likes to gamble with fate. If there's a 20-30% chance of winning, she might take the plunge, but if there's only a 10% chance of winning and she can escape, she won't gamble.

She cherishes her life very much!
As they fled, a steep cliff suddenly appeared, blocking their path. She placed the Red Enchantress on her shoulder, saying, "Hold on tight!" Then, without hesitation, she climbed up the cliff.

With the help of spiritual energy, she was able to climb up quite quickly.

The abyssal crocodile chased her to the bottom of the cliff, repeatedly ramming against the cliff face, trying to knock her off. But she nimbly used the momentum to leap to the top of the cliff.

Enveloped in mist, she couldn't see what was happening below from the cliff top. Lin Yan conjured a fireball in her hand and hurled it downwards; the impact created a gust of wind that dispersed some of the mist.

She saw the abyssal crocodile climb up the cliff and get hit on the head by its own fireball.

The abyssal crocodile, gripped by pain, grew even more enraged and climbed faster. It opened its gaping maw and spat out green venom.

The venom flew into the air, spread out, and fell like rain!
"Damn it!" She almost lost her temper and swore. What kind of heaven-defying skill was this! Lin Yan used her spiritual power to set up a protective shield to block the venom.

She knew she couldn't let the monster climb up, or she and the Crimson Enchantress would be crippled or killed. With one hand supporting the defensive shield and the other gathering fireballs, she continuously hurled them at the Abyss Crocodile.

The abyssal crocodile, with its thick skin and tough flesh, withstood the attack and continued to climb upwards.

Suddenly, Lin Yan noticed several huge boulders nearby. She used her spiritual power to envelop the boulders and hurled them at the seventh-tier abyssal crocodile. As the boulders fell, she quickly took out five third-grade weight-bearing talismans and used them to envelop the falling boulders with her spiritual power.

The Abyss Crocodile was smashed to the ground and crushed under a boulder. Seeing that the Abyss Crocodile was unable to escape, she quickly grabbed the Red Enchantress and fled.
