Fairy, help me cultivate.

Hui Baiyu panicked: "It's all your fault!"

Chen Yao was stunned. "You're the one who can't do it, why blame me?"

Hui Bai panicked even more, frantically running around, and suddenly pulled out a stack of attack talismans.

A clear, tender female voice came coldly: "It's a deal. Using an attack talisman means admitting defeat. You and your vessel will both kneel down and apologize!"

?

"I wandered in by mistake, but I didn't agree to your bet!"

Chen Yao issued a statement expressing his dissatisfaction.

A clear, tender female voice sneered contemptuously: "The cauldron has no right to speak!"

Chen Yao was angered by her contemptuous attitude: "Senior sister, come here! I'll help you break the formation!"

Hui Bai was already impressed by Chen Yao's ability to find the way. She had been too proud to admit it before, but now that he was taking the initiative, she was overjoyed and obediently flew behind Chen Yao.

Chen Yao gave her an annoyed look: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Hui Bai quickly suppressed her laughter, thinking how embarrassing that would be...

Do you feel respectable now?

Chen Yao saw through her little scheme and shook his head.

"Hmph, you think you can break my formation? Have you been blinded by the women of Hanyu Peak? Don't you know your own limitations?"

The clear, tender female voice was extremely contemptuous.

Chen Yao calmed himself down and closed his eyes to sense the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy, but as he carefully sensed it, his heart gradually sank.

This cloud formation may seem simple, but it is actually quite ingenious. The spiritual energy is sometimes chaotic and sometimes orderly and uniform, making it impossible to find any pattern.

Is it really going to backfire here?

If Yun Li finds out that she and Hui Bai have embarrassed Han Yu Feng, after dealing with that arrogant young woman, she'll definitely give them a severe dressing-down...

Just when he was at his wit's end, his brow twitched suddenly, and the mark, under his subconscious control, gradually permeated the clouds with its aura.

The cloud formation, originally intended only to help people get lost, began to rage.

"What's going on?!"

A clear, tender female voice exclaimed from above.

Chapter Thirty-One: Who said he was just a furnace?!

Chen Yao sensed a place to his left front that was reacting unusually strongly to the aura of the demonic seal he was releasing.

After the cloud formation began to rage, the spiritual energy there suddenly increased, presumably because the female cultivator who set up the formation was inputting spiritual energy in an attempt to control it.

Chen Yao sneered inwardly. Now that things have escalated to this point, how can you expect me to control them? Let them escalate even further!

The aura of the demonic mark between his brows immediately focused on that spot.

The entire cloud formation instantly changed from clear white to murky black, and began to spew out clouds in all directions.

Hui Bai was unaware of what was going on, but was greatly shocked. Her beautiful eyes stared at Chen Yao's back, speechless.

Could it be that Junior Brother even knows how to form formations?

What kind of extraordinary thing is it?

Chen Yao heard the screams of the female cultivators above him and realized that there were quite a few people watching the spectacle.

A clear, tender female voice came from the other end of the line, sounding exasperated: "Didn't you say that this magic pill used to shield against detection was extremely stable and wouldn't cause any problems?"

Another female voice murmured, "It's clear...it's been tested nearly a hundred times without any problems..."

A clear, tender female voice roared, "What are you all standing there for? Everyone, give it your all and suppress the demonic core! The two inside are probably about to fall into demonic possession, we can't let them out!"

Chen Yao sneered and said loudly, "Senior Sister, we're going out!"

Hui Bai nodded emphatically and followed Chen Yao as they flew through the air to the vortex of clouds where the demonic pills were suspended.

Upon seeing the demonic core, Hui Bai's face turned ashen: "No wonder Jiang Ling was so fearless. It turns out she deliberately used the demonic core to shield my talismans from her senses! And she even made a prior agreement not to use any attack talismans. Even if I found this place, I couldn't break through the demonic core to get out. Junior brother, don't come any closer. Your cultivation level is too low. Be careful of demonic energy invading your body!"

Chen Yao felt the demonic mark between his eyebrows stirring, and his heart tightened. Fearing that it would alert the elders of Shangde Peak, he disregarded everything else and rushed forward, smashing the demonic core with a single punch.

The entire cloud formation erupted with a strong gust of wind, which was scattered by the shockwave.

Hui Bai was dumbfounded.

You brat... how come you're not even afraid of demonic energy?

At that moment, a gasp rang out from above.

Chen Yao's brows calmed down, and he looked up to see beams of light flying everywhere, filling the crowd of onlookers who were caught off guard and staggered by the shockwave.

Most of them are female cultivators.

One of them was in the worst state; the flying artifact beneath his feet had flown away, and he was being held up by two female cultivators, his legs kicking wildly, his skirt torn.

She pointed at Chen Yao, still in shock: "You...you..."

Who told me he was just a Qi Refining stage cauldron?

Chen Yao guessed that she was the culprit, and since this guy wasn't up to any good anyway, she simply rushed in front of her and looked down at her, asking, "What about me?"

The female cultivator took a deep breath, recalled the jade leaf-shaped flying artifact, pushed away her junior sister who was supporting her, and looked around. She found that the people who had been waiting to see the excitement at Hanyu Peak were now looking at her coldly.

Her face turned pale and then flushed, and after a while she pointed at Chen Yao's nose: "You are a demonic cultivator!"

Chen Yao's heart clenched.

Snapped!

The female cultivator received a hard slap across the face.

It is fennel.

"Jiang Ling, you can't accept defeat, can you?"

Hui Bai shielded Chen Yao behind her and glared at Jiang Ling with her face close to hers.

Jiang Ling was stunned by Hui Bai's slap. After a while, she said through tears, "You dare to hit me? He is a demonic cultivator, otherwise how could his demonic core go out of control!"

Hui Bai frowned, but then slapped Jiang Ling again: "You're incompetent and you still seek trouble. You couldn't control the Demon Core, and my junior brother broke the formation. Now you want to slander me?"

Jiang Ling covered her swollen cheeks, feeling both embarrassed and angry, her eyes red: "Hui Bai! I'll fight you to the death!"

A radiant light suddenly shone from her chest, illuminating her pale white skin.

Hui Bai was caught off guard and her face paled. She hadn't expected that she would suddenly launch a sneak attack in front of Shangde Peak and in full view of everyone.

The onlookers gasped in surprise, as they could clearly see that Jiang Ling had used a deadly move.

The brilliant light pierced through Hui Bai's chest in the blink of an eye, but was firmly held in place by two crossed jade-like middle fingers.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Hui Bai was taken aback.

"Senior sister, what are you standing there for? I can't hold on much longer, get out of the way!"

Chen Yao embraced Hui Bai's soft and delicate body from behind, pressing her full breasts with both hands until they caved in, before using his Songyang Finger to stop the glare.

He felt a powerful force coming from him, and even his enhanced fingers were almost twisted and cracked by the shock.

Ignoring the embarrassment of being pressed on the chest by the brat, Hui Bai quickly descended into the air.

Jiang Ling lost her mind and immediately increased her strength to control the radiant light, trying to pierce directly into Chen Yao's chest. Chen Yao twisted his two fingers, and the radiant light changed direction due to the force, rushing towards the crowd.

People quickly moved away.

Two pale, slender fingers stretched out and caught the incoming beam of light.

It shimmered and returned to the shape of a mithril hairpin.

The hand tucked the hairpin into its sleeve.

"How dare you be so presumptuous before Shangde Peak!"

Jiang Ling was struck dumb, and a look of panic appeared on her swollen face.

Chen Yao looked closely and saw that the speaker was dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, which fluttered in the wind. He had white hair, a youthful face, and a long beard that reached his waist.

"He is Elder Xuanming of Shangde Peak, whose cultivation is profound and who has a deep understanding of the art of formations."

Hui Bai came to Chen Yao's side and explained to him.

Xuanming glanced at the two of them, frowned, and asked Jiang Ling, "What's going on?"

"he is……"

Jiang Ling glared at Chen Yao with hatred, but was interrupted by Chen Yao before she could speak.

"She's a spy from the Demonic Sect! She used a maze containing demonic pills in front of Shangde Peak to try and corrupt us, her fellow disciples, into demonic possession!"

Chen Yao decided to play the victim and cry foul, since the sect was in a state of panic because the peak master of Nanwu Peak was tricked by the demonic sect and almost fell into demonic possession.

? ? !

Jiang Ling's small eyes were filled with great confusion and astonishment. In a fit of rage, she grabbed a magical artifact from her bosom and threw it at Chen Yao.

Chen Yao neither dodged nor dodged, and said to Xuanming, "Uncle-Master Xuanming, she's going to kill someone to silence them!"

"I didn't!" Jiang Ling's expression changed, and she angrily withdrew her magic weapon.

Xuanming's face had darkened: "Junior Nephew Jiang Ling, did you set up an array in front of Shangde Peak?"

Jiang Ling stammered, "Yes..."

"Is there a demonic core in the formation?" Xuanming asked sharply.

Jiang Ling panicked, her lips trembling, "Yes..."

"Has the demonic core gone out of control?" Xuanming squinted and looked coldly at Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling hurriedly looked up, pointing at Chen Yao, trying to explain: "But that's him..."

Xuanming swept his sleeve and knocked her down, saying, "Since you've already admitted it, what else is there to say? Go to the Demon Suppression Prison and try to argue your way out!"

He glanced at Chen Yao, then turned and left.
