Mortal: I possess a copy of the Jade Manual of the Sea of ​​Consciousness!

After waiting a while, seeing that the time was ripe, Wang Xuan's demeanor suddenly changed!

Han Li, sensing something amiss, quickly shifted his gaze to Wang Xuan, a warning bell ringing in his heart.

Why did this person's aura suddenly change so drastically? Could it be that they're planning to betray us?!

Wang Xuan ignored Han Li and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, you'd better not try anything funny later."

Otherwise, if my spirit pet goes berserk and doesn't recognize people, I won't be responsible if you get devoured."

The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect over there are almost all dead, except for Nangong Wan who is still struggling to withstand the attack of the level two Ink Dragon. Now is the perfect opportunity for him to make his move!

Wang Xuan tossed the spirit beast bead in his hand, and a giant golden-armored crocodile, over ten zhang long, appeared out of thin air.

The overwhelming pressure from the level-two demonic beast caused Nangong Wan, who was engaged in a fierce battle, and Han Li, who was hiding in the shadows, to suddenly change their expressions!

"A level-two demonic beast?! How is this possible?! How could a mere Qi Refining cultivator possibly control such a powerful demonic beast?!"

Nangong Wan exclaimed in surprise, her composed expression vanishing.

His eyes were incredibly gloomy as he looked at Wang Xuan, who was watching the show with predatory eyes, and felt somewhat helpless.

Although she could rely on the Vermilion Bird Ring to fight the black dragon, even if she was no match for it, she could still escape.

But with Wang Xuan's sudden appearance, her life was in grave danger!

As for the black dragon, it did not stop attacking because of Wang Xuan's appearance and remained menacing.

Instead, their offensive became even more intense.

It seems this beast is also under great threat from the Golden Water Crocodile and wants to deal with Nangong Wan first before dealing with Wang Xuan.

Venomous spraying, dragon coiling around the body, and other methods are constantly emerging.

"Fellow Daoist of the Hidden Moon Sect, it's best not to be distracted during the battle, otherwise, if you get entangled by this black dragon or come into contact with its venom, your life may be in danger."

Wang Xuan was always eager to see a good show; it was rare to see a Core Formation Master Uncle in such a sorry state.

Nangong Wan suppressed her anger and said weakly, "Senior brother, are you just going to watch me die in the mouth of this beast?"

"Why don't you join me in killing this beast, senior brother? Afterwards, I promise to reward you handsomely, and I'll even give you all the treasures in this hall."

Wang Xuan chuckled twice, his tone calm: "Junior sister is still joking."

The things inside this hall are meant to be acquired by the capable, and now it seems highly likely that they will all be mine.

If you know what's good for you, junior sister, leave now and I won't stop you. Otherwise, if anything unexpected happens, I can't guarantee what will happen to you.

Just as Wang Xuan and Nangong Wan were facing off, Han Li on the other side had the urge to run away again.

The opponent actually had a level two demonic beast with combat power comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators assisting him. As long as he was here, the only outcome would be that he would be killed and his treasures stolen.

Taking advantage of the fact that Nangong Wan and Wang Xuan were too busy to pay attention to him, he stuck a few concealment talismans on his body and slowly moved towards the door.

But just as he took his first step, something unexpected happened!

Seeing that it couldn't subdue Nangong Wan, the black dragon's body blazed with green light, and its poisonous gas began to boil.

His aura had actually climbed to its peak, approaching the threshold of the second-level top stage!

Seeing this, Wang Xuan didn't wait for Nangong Wan to make a move. He directly commanded the Golden Water Crocodile to attack the Mo Jiao after it erupted.

"It seems that now is not the time to turn against each other. Junior brother over there, come quickly and help us!"

Otherwise, if this black dragon went berserk and started attacking indiscriminately, my junior brother would most likely be caught in the crossfire.

Han Li, who was trying to escape from the shadows, cursed inwardly upon hearing this, but still had no choice but to step out.

He made hand seals and unleashed a spell at the black dragon, seemingly going all out, but in reality, the dark-skinned boy was just going through the motions.

Han Li hasn't used any of the talismans or treasures he has yet.

Wang Xuan didn't say much, but secretly glanced at Nangong Wan to prevent her from making any tricks.

"Fellow Daoist of the Hidden Moon Sect, bring out whatever tricks you have up your sleeve."

My golden crocodile can't withstand this black dragon for long.

Nangong Wan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this will disappoint you, fellow Daoist."

"I just used all my skills to be able to put up a fight against this beast."

Now that his spiritual energy is almost depleted, he can no longer unleash any powerful moves.

"Why don't the three of us work together to escape this place? The treasure is valuable, but losing our lives would be a huge loss."

Even the usually taciturn Han Li nodded, agreeing with Nangong Wan's statement.

"Yes, senior brother, right now this beast is going berserk. Even if your spirit pet is a level two demon beast, it is probably no match for it."

"Perhaps we should temporarily retreat and wait until this beast is exhausted before making our move."

Hearing that both of them were showing signs of backing down, Wang Xuan rolled his eyes and agreed with their explanation.

"That's fine, but if we can hold this beast down for a while, the three of us working together can also kill it."

If you two fellow Daoists do not have a means to trap our enemy, then it would be best if we left first.

Nangong Wan and Han Li were both intelligent people, and they both realized that Wang Xuan was using the pretext of dealing with the Ink Dragon to test their strength.

It seems that if they dare to leave this place, with that level-two demonic beast under their command, it will definitely attack and kill them.

It seems we have no choice but to join forces to deal with the Ink Dragon today.

Nangong Wan concealed her embarrassment and chuckled, "How could I not have thought of that? It seems this fellow Daoist from Spirit Beast Mountain is indeed very thoughtful."

I happen to have a trapping formation, but it's a bit too high a level.

It is a trapping formation at the Core Formation level, bestowed by the Core Formation ancestor of our family. Only the three of us working together can activate this formation!

"As long as the three of us activate this formation, we can definitely defeat this black dragon and obtain the treasure!!"

Wang Xuan immediately became interested upon hearing this, as it was something that had not been mentioned in the original work.

That makes sense, though. How could a Core Formation cultivator not possess other skills?

"Oh? There's such a formation. No rush, let my Golden Water Crocodile entangle it for a while, then we can discuss how to deal with it."

It's no wonder Wang Xuan didn't get straight to the point; the world is a dangerous place and people's hearts are treacherous.

Besides, he hadn't revealed his identity to Han Li, so who knew if this dark-skinned kid would stab him in the back?

And then there's Nangong Wan, an old woman who's nearly a hundred years old. Who would believe she's not a little cunning?

Although he has a biased view of the character, it doesn't stop him from caring about his own safety.

Nangong Wan knew what Wang Xuan was worried about. He was probably afraid that she would tamper with the formation and fall into a trap, which would be a great regret.

Nangong Wan directly explained the specific details of this formation and how it operates.

Han Li listened attentively from the side; he was currently only a minor Qi Refining cultivator.

Although we don't usually use any formations, it's always good to learn about them in advance.

Moreover, this formation is a high-level formation at the Core Formation stage, so it's essential to learn about it.

After Nangong Wan fully explained the wonders of the formation and personally took out the formation plate to start operating it, Wang Xuan finally dispelled his concerns.

Taking the array plate, the three of them formed a triangle and surrounded the Ink Dragon and the Golden Water Crocodile.

Then the three of them simultaneously channeled their spiritual energy into the array plate, and the array plate shone brightly, with three large, fiery bird phantoms rapidly forming.

Wang Xuan seized the opportunity and put the Golden Water Crocodile back into the Spirit Beast Pearl.

In the end, the three of them worked together to align the array plate with the black dragon.

Phew! !

The three fiery bird phantoms solidified, spreading their enormous wings and grabbing at the black dragon like eagles.

Wang Xuan felt his spiritual power decrease by nearly 40%, and couldn't help but glance at Nangong Wan and Han Li again.

Because of the excessive energy expenditure earlier, Nangong Wan's face turned pale after activating the formation. She only felt better after taking a few recovery pills.

Han Li was the same; he had the lowest cultivation level here, only at the twelfth level of Qi Refining when he activated the Core Formation Formation.

The consumption was also substantial, but fortunately, the opponent had no shortage of pills to restore spiritual energy, so it was not a problem.

"The three of us are too weak. Even with each of us taking on a different role, we have only managed to unleash one or two percent of the power of the 'Three Flames Crow Formation'."

Wang Xuan knew this formation was more complex than that, but he didn't ask further. He turned to Nangong Wan and asked, "How long can it hold this beast?"

Nangong Wan shook her head, somewhat uncertain, and said, "Logically speaking, under these circumstances, it should be able to trap a level two demon beast for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

But this black dragon has gone berserk, its aura surging to nearly the peak of the second level. Moreover, it's a dragon species, its power brutal, so I can't be too sure about its future.

Wang Xuan continued, "Since you can produce this formation, you must be at least a direct disciple of a Core Formation Grandmaster. Do you have any talismans or treasures on you?"

Nangong Wanmei's eyes widened, and she looked at Wang Xuan warily, saying, "What do you want to do? I don't have any talismans left on me. If I did, I would have used them already."

Nangong Wan inwardly complained that if she had known things would become so complicated and troublesome, she would have refined some talismans properly before coming to the forbidden area.

Now, the power of her magic weapon, the Vermilion Bird Ring, has been largely sealed, making it at most a top-tier magic artifact of the highest grade.

If her power had reached the level of a talisman treasure, which is a bit like a magic weapon, she wouldn't be so timid and subservient, addressing a Qi Refining cultivator as her peer!
