I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Lu Xuan's words caught everyone off guard.

During the day, you humiliated the Prince in every way! You said you would give the Prince face, but in reality, you didn't give him any face at all. Instead, you kept trampling on the Prince's dignity. And now you're surrendering?!

However, those familiar with Lu Xuan know that he is probably using a scheme at this moment.

Once Lu Xuan leaves, won't that fifth-rank expert just run rampant and kill everyone in this group?

Lu Xuan originally thought that after he begged for mercy, the other party would at least give it a second thought.

But Master Qian Yuan just sneered.

"Lu Xuan, stop acting here."

"The prince said that everyone can live, but you cannot."

"That's what Master Qian Yuan said calmly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's face immediately fell.

"That's not very interesting of you. You're not giving me any chance at all."

"Then don't blame me."

Lu Xuan said.

When Qian Yuan Zhenren heard Lu Xuan still uttering such harsh words under such circumstances, he immediately smiled disdainfully.

"Lu Xuan, do you think that having some martial arts skills means you can roam freely in this world?"

"I have plenty of ways to kill you."

"In my eyes, you're nothing more than a slightly stronger dog."

"To tell you the truth, I went to great lengths to lure you into this formation."

"The formation you are in is called the 'Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart Formation'."

"With just a thought from me, I can unleash a continuous stream of arrows that pierce your hearts. Moreover, this formation has already locked onto your auras, so no matter where you hide, the attack will not miss a single one."

"Even if you, Lu Xuan, are a fifth-grade cultivator, how much power do you have to withstand the drain?!"

Master Qian Yuan burst into laughter.

Deep down, he always looked down on those who practiced martial arts.

Ultimately, he was just a level below me.

With just a slight movement, he could control their lives and easily rise above them.

As long as he is within the formation, he is a god who controls everything!

"Elder Lu, why don't we join forces to break the formation?"

Mo Yan stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

She knew, of course, that Lu Xuan's deliberate plea for mercy was merely a ploy to mislead the other party.

After all, that's just Lu Xuan's personality; he'll always try to seize any opportunity to resolve things simply.

Last time, regarding the matter with the Heavenly Soul Sect, Lu Xuan also used a strategy of retreat to advance.

Now that things have come to this, there is clearly no other way but to fight to the death and try to break through the encirclement.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that this would be a tough battle.

These Thousand Soul Guards are all at the fourth rank in cultivation, and their combined strength is even greater.

Apart from Lu Xuan, no one present could withstand the Thousand Soul Guards alone.

Someone with a cultivation level similar to Yi Huai'an would probably be killed the moment they met.

This situation is extremely dangerous for them as well.

"No need for that."

"It's just a mere formation."

Lu Xuan waved his hand, looking confident.

The others didn't know, but Yi Shuhe did. Perhaps the array formations in Xianhe Manor were all set up by Lu Xuan himself. In that case, Lu Xuan was actually a top-notch array master.

Yi Shuhe wasn't sure, but he had several guesses in his mind.

"A mere formation?"

"Heh... I think you're just getting old and senile!"

"If you can walk out of my formation alive today, I will give you my head..."

Master Qian Yuan still thought he had an absolute advantage and was making threats.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lu Xuan raised his hand and released a wisp of spiritual energy, which he then pressed lightly onto the ground.

In an instant, the entire ground began to shake.

A tremendous, rumbling sound.

The stone slabs that had surrounded Lu Xuan and his group suddenly scattered at this moment.

And in the next instant, he appeared beside Master Qian Yuan.

Master Qian Yuan was still watching the changes in his surroundings in shock.

However, the Thousand Soul Guards scattered in all directions immediately.

Unfortunately, although the Thousand Soul Guards reacted quickly, they still underestimated Lu Xuan's power. During the formation's transformation, Lu Xuan also activated the attack techniques within the formation.

In an instant, a powerful attack was launched, continuously bombarding the Thousand Soul Guards.

Spikes shot out from the jungle, piercing straight through some of the Thousand Soul Guards.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

There were originally twelve Thousand Soul Guards, but only four managed to escape; the other eight were killed.

The remaining four are also in a difficult situation.

Mo Yan and Yan Meng, these two peak fourth-rank experts, are not silly dolls standing still.

The moment he realized he was free, he darted out and charged at the four Thousand Soul Guards.

Bang!Bang!

The two men made their move and each killed one person.

He also injured the remaining person.

They each flew back, each carrying a Thousand Soul Guard prisoner.

Leaving someone alive will always allow us to extract some useful information.

Since the other party has already started to take action, it means that they are quite well prepared.

It would be best to find out as much information as possible.

Clearly, Mo Yan and Yan Meng were very familiar with this procedure. Without any unnecessary words, they threw the two unconscious and severely injured Thousand Soul Guards in front of Yi Shuhe.

This Prince of Xiping is truly arrogant; he's practically insane.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan, they would all probably be dead here today.

Even Qian Yuan Zhenren probably didn't expect that he would be suppressed by Lu Xuan.

"Smile, why aren't you smiling anymore?"

Lu Xuan looked at Qian Yuan Zhenren and said with a faint smile.

At this moment, Master Qian Yuan still did not believe in evil.

"impossible!"

"How could you possibly also be proficient in formations?"

"This must be a smokescreen!"

A look of horror flashed across Qian Yuan Zhenren's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked around and then unhesitatingly summoned his Breaking Formation Hammer, smashing it fiercely forward.

boom!

This array-breaking hammer is precisely the array-breaking spiritual weapon used by True Man Qian Yuan.

The unique array patterns on it, along with the special effects of the spirit stones embedded in it, make this thing very effective at breaking arrays. True Master Qian Yuan thought that what Lu Xuan was using was just some ordinary illusion.

Therefore, he desperately used the array-breaking hammer in his hand to bombard the ground in an attempt to break the array.

However, Lu Xuan's methods were clearly far superior to those of Qian Yuan Zhenren.

The fact that this method alone could subtly alter Qian Yuan Zhenren's formation proves that the opponent could not break through it so easily.

Everything the other party did was in vain.

At this moment, Lu Xuan's gaze fell upon Yi Shuhe, who was standing to the side.

"Brother Yi, what about this traitor's life?"

"Since he is a traitor, then please, Elder Lu, take action and eliminate him directly to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Yi Shuhe clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Xuanyi.

For Yi Shuhe, there was no need for him to build any faction or retain any talent.

Although Master Qian Yuan was a fourth-rank array master, he was still considered a very valuable talent in the entire Xuanwu Dynasty.

But to Yi Shuhe, he was a traitorous beast.

All those benefits were voluntarily shared with True Man Qian Yuan.

But I never expected that you, Master Qian Yuan, would be accepting benefits from him while also having shady dealings with the Prince of Xiping.

Or perhaps he was originally a man of the Prince of Xiping, which would completely deceive Yi Shuhe, and he would deserve to die.

When Qian Yuan Zhenren attacked several times in succession, they all fell to the ground.

The formation in front of them remained completely still.

This made Master Qian Yuan realize that what was in front of him was indeed an array, and that Lu Xuan's array skills seemed to be even above his own.

Immediately, Master Qianyuan also shouted to Lu Xuan.

"No...no!"

"I don't want to die..."

"Senior Lu, I am a formation master! I understand formations, I still have value!"

"If we join forces, we can try to break through a fifth-grade formation!"

"Beneath a fifth-grade grand formation, there must be an ancient spiritual artifact!"

"As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to cooperate and go along with it!"

Master Qian Yuan hurriedly addressed Lu Xuan and the others.

"I can break a fifth-grade formation myself."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Master Qian Yuan's eyes widened in that instant.

The next moment, the spikes in the formation began to whistle out continuously, all aimed at Qian Yuan Zhenren.

shhhhhh!

The whistling spikes pierced through Qian Yuan Zhenren's body in an instant.

Even after being pierced and shot into a pile of minced meat, the spikes continued to shoot out relentlessly.

In the end, it was brutally beaten into a pile of minced meat.

Seeing that the other party was beyond dead, Lu Xuan raised his hand and dispersed the surrounding array.

He raised his hand and made a gesture.

Qian Yuan Zhenren's storage ring, as well as the array-breaking hammer on the ground, also fell into Lu Xuan's hands.

With a flick of his finger, he wiped away all the bloodstains.

When everyone saw Lu Xuan make his move, they couldn't help but gasp in shock at his overwhelming power.

Most importantly, Lu Xuan's mastery of formations was actually superior to that of True Man Qian Yuan.

This was something no one had expected.

Lu Xuan is not only a fifth-grade expert, but also a fourth-grade alchemist.

Now, even their array formation skills are superior to those of Master Qian Yuan.

"Old Lu, when did you realize this guy was acting strangely?"

Yan Meng couldn't help but ask.

After all, Lu Xuan's calm and composed demeanor at the beginning clearly indicated that he had already planned ahead and was well-prepared.

"Let's put it this way, it's the intuition between old men."

Lu Xuan smiled mysteriously, looking at the disbelieving looks in their eyes.

The group was completely bewildered.

Could it be that you old men have some kind of connection?

Lu Xuan also laughed heartily.

He stopped teasing everyone.

"You don't understand formations. This old bastard has been causing trouble for a while now, and I've been keeping an eye on him for a long time."

"Do you really think I'm clueless?"

"Actually, he changed the formation in front, and I followed suit and changed it behind."

"I hadn't noticed this group of people before; they must have been summoned here through some means."

"Interrogate these two men thoroughly and see if they have any value. I'm going to examine his hammer."

Lu Xuan said.

Lu Xuan had been eyeing this formation-breaking hammer for a while.

Now that he has acquired it, Lu Xuan can take it out and study it carefully. With this, Lu Xuan will have many benefits and assistance in breaking the formation later.

"Alright, we'll take care of these two."

Yi Shuhe said.

At this moment, a cold glint appeared in Yi Shuhe's eyes.

These Thousand Soul Guards before us are not simply the subordinates of the King of Xiping.

They were also an extremely cruel force; the number of people who died at the hands of these Thousand Soul Guards was at least 80,000, if not 100,000.

This is still the number that has been statistically recorded.

It is said that in order to train these Thousand Soul Guards, the King of Xiping used living people to train them when they were young.

Therefore, Yi Shuhe must settle old scores and new grudges on this trip, and also interrogate him to extract some important information.

Lu Xuan sat to the side.

Examining the battle-breaking hammer in his hand.

Yan Meng and Mo Yan both chose to sit in front of Lu Xuan, thus protecting him.

Night falls.

The entire ancient town of Guanlan was shrouded in shadow.

The plants in the ancient city also radiated a unique spiritual glow at this moment. As night fell, the entire ancient city became a mesmerizing white, but in reality, it was even more dangerous.

In the heart of the ancient city.

Three powerful figures from the Cloud Cauldron Sect were forming an array using the medicine cauldrons in their hands.

And they will fight against the formation in front of them.

Meanwhile, the King of Xiping and the gray-robed expert from the Nine Absolute Divine Sect sat to the side, observing.

Excitement burned in the eyes of the Prince of Xiping.

"I can feel it; what I'm looking for is inside!"

"Break them all! Break them with all your might!"
