A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

"Blood Refining Corpse Array?" Lin He looked bewildered, but Zhou Yuan explained in a deep voice.

"This is a corpse-refining formation that can turn the corpses within its range into controllable corpses. These corpses are immortal and indestructible. People trapped in this formation will have their mana slowly depleted until their mana is exhausted, at which point they will be killed by these corpses."

"Immortal and indestructible?" Lin He exclaimed in surprise, unable to help but ask, "There's such a heaven-defying formation?"

Sect Master Wang casually unleashed a sword light, slaying a Foundation Establishment corpse. However, the corpse suddenly stood up again and charged forward once more, though upon closer inspection, it was clear that the crimson color on its body seemed to have faded slightly.

Seeing this, Sect Master Wang sighed and said, "This formation is not without its weaknesses. Not only is it extremely complicated to set up and very costly, but its coverage area is also small, only able to control corpses below the Core Formation stage. Therefore, its practicality is not very strong. However, it is most suitable for this place. It seems that the other party wants to exhaust our mana before dealing with us. Am I right, Fellow Daoist Gu?"

Outside the crimson light barrier, Elder Gu, Elder Miao, and two others stood guard outside the formation. Elder Gu chuckled smugly upon hearing this, "Indeed, Sect Master Wang is quite knowledgeable, recognizing such an obscure formation. You'll get a taste of its power. We'll continue to control the refining corpses to attack, not giving them a chance to breathe."

The other three naturally had no objections. Apart from the two elders who were killed by Lin He, the Core Formation cultivators of the Six Linked Halls had come out in full force this time in order to completely annihilate the Wonderful Sound Sect.

Inside the blood-red light curtain,

"Let's go, fly up into the sky and see how they chase us!"

Sect Leader Wang and the others flew into the sky, looking down at the numerous refined corpses that seemed to be swarming like headless flies. The old man surnamed Zhao smiled and said, "Sect Leader Wang's reminder was timely. Let's see how they manage to attack us now."

The scholar surnamed Meng took out a short sword, a magical weapon, and slashed fiercely at the blood-red light barrier, but he couldn't break through it at all. He could only say in a deep voice,

"No, this crimson light barrier is too strong. Only a powerful ancient treasure that excels in attack could possibly break through it."

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Wang frowned. A powerful ancient treasure, especially one of the offensive type, was not something that could be obtained casually.

At this moment, Lan Chou suddenly stood up. Everyone seemed to have guessed something, but they still looked incredulous.

Lan Chou took out the Mountain-Splitting Seal. With the activation of his magic power, the seal immediately enlarged, emitting a terrifying surge of spiritual energy that astonished everyone. The old man surnamed Zhao couldn't help but exclaim, "A top-quality ancient treasure! And a top-quality offensive ancient treasure at that!"

After speaking, the old man surnamed Zhao and the scholar surnamed Meng exchanged a glance, and a strange light flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Sect Master Wang was overjoyed and said, "Great! I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lan to have such a treasure. It seems that breaking through this light barrier shouldn't be a problem."

At this moment, Zhou Yuan suddenly reminded her in a deep voice, "Look down below quickly."

Everyone quickly looked over and saw that one of the Foundation Establishment corpses below had lifted another Foundation Establishment corpse high above his head with astonishing strength, and was actually throwing him towards them.

It turned out that the elders outside the light screen knew something was wrong and immediately controlled the Foundation Establishment Corpse Refining to attack.

"Stop it! We must protect Fellow Daoist Lan so he can break the formation in peace!"

With a command from Sect Master Wang, a layer of magical energy shield appeared. Lin He and the others stretched out a hand to block the shield and poured in their magical energy. The shield formed by the combined efforts of the five Core Formation stage cultivators was incredibly powerful. The Foundation Establishment corpse that had been thrown hit the shield without causing the slightest ripple.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. However, the Foundation Establishment corpses below all took the same action. In an instant, more than twenty Foundation Establishment corpses were thrown from all directions, all aimed at Lan Chou, in order to prevent him from breaking the formation.

The group could only increase their magical power input. The thick protective barrier was indeed extraordinary. Facing the continuous onslaught of Foundation Establishment Corpse Refiners, it remained standing and successfully protected Lan Chou behind it.

At this moment, an astonishing spiritual energy emerged. With Lan Chou's full power, the Mountain-Splitting Seal transformed into a giant seal, crashing down on the blood-red light barrier.

The crimson light curtain erupted with a dazzling crimson radiance. However, the Mountain-Splitting Seal was indeed a fine ancient treasure. With a powerful slam, the entire crimson light curtain collapsed after only a few breaths!

The Blood Refining Corpse Formation was broken, the crimson light dissipated, and the Foundation Establishment Corpses on the ground collapsed and turned back into corpses.

This time, everyone was smarter and launched fireballs to destroy their bodies and cover their tracks.

Having done all this, Sect Leader Wang finally looked up at the opposite side, his expression one of complete confidence and smugness.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, Fellow Daoist Miao, your scheme has failed. The formation you painstakingly set up failed to trap us. Now that we have broken free, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Elder Gu shook his head and said, "It's still too early to tell who will win. Sect Leader Wang, don't be too happy."

"What a joke! We have six people on our side, but you only have four. Isn't it obvious who will win?"

Elder Gu looked on with a mocking expression. Although the Six Halls were clearly at a disadvantage, Elder Gu and the others were not flustered at all, as if they had something else to rely on.

"Sect Leader Wang, you don't actually think you've already won, do you?"

"Still bluffing?" Sect Master Wang was getting impatient. At this point, the Miaoyin Sect and the Six Linked Halls had already formed a feud, and it was impossible for them to back down. He was about to make his move.

At this moment, Zhao and Meng, who were behind Master Wang, exchanged glances and were poised to do something.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared, one fat and one thin, who turned out to be the two who had been following Lin He earlier.

"Hey, aren't these Fellow Daoists Guo Yun and Liu Hong from the Qingyang Sect?"

Elder Gu immediately recognized the two men; the fat one, surnamed Guo, stepped forward and announced loudly,

"So it's Elder Gu from the Six-Hall Connection. I didn't expect that even though we haven't left Qingyang Sect for so many years, someone would still recognize us."

Liu Hong, growing impatient, pointed at Lin He and said, "Old Guo, stop wasting time. Elder Gu, this kid has offended my young master. We need to take him down and hand him over to him. You have no objections, right?"

Unexpectedly, two more early-stage Core Formation cultivators joined the group. Elder Gu naturally had no objections and said cheerfully, "Please do as you wish. We are dealing with the Miaoyin Sect, so this kid is your responsibility."

As they spoke, Elder Gu said with a smug look on his face, "Sect Leader Wang, it's not six against four now, it's six against six."

Guo Yun and Liu Hong flew to the opposite side of Lin He and Lan Chou at the same time, both of them with unfriendly expressions.

Elder Gu and his four companions quickly stood opposite Sect Master Wang and his group of four, and a battle was about to break out!
