Fairy, I really am a villain!

After tying Xianli up somewhere, the two of them walked down along the rift valley.

"Hold my hand." When his sleeve was pulled, he stretched out his hand.

After taking a few steps, Fang Qingxiao had another opinion. She took the initiative to pull up his hand, spread out her five fingers and clasped them together, and even shook them a few times with some curiosity.

"Sister, how do you know this way of pulling...?"

"I learned it from you." Fang Qingxiao tilted her head and watched for a while, "This is so stupid. It locks the movements of both of us. If an enemy comes over, each of us can only use one hand to meet him."

Hearing her say this, Fang Xiwen smiled: "So you know all this, why do you still want to hold hands?"

"I don't want to let you go."

"...Why would I run?"

"Besides, one hand is enough for me to fight the enemy."

Following this arrogant and overbearing sister, he walked forward and made eye contact with several Longwei Army soldiers he met, which was considered a greeting.

Going a little further ahead, you can see that various formations are set up on the cliffs on both sides. The formation patterns on them are looming, exuding a terrifying pressure.

Among them, there are two extremely bright array patterns extending from the front to the back, intersecting at a bulge. At the center, there is a powerful aura that penetrates the sky and the earth, shattering the clouds.

The most precious treasure of the Wang family is the divine sword Jun Cen.

Now that the Emperor's Sword has been taken back, it is the formation that suppresses the mountains and rivers here.

Just like Fang Xiwen had used the Mingde Zhishan Sword as the centerpiece of the formation, the Minglei Formation he set up had almost the power of a half-step external scene; the use of the Juncen Sword here was similar.

These powerful magic weapons all carry the power of laws. When fully activated, or coordinated in a way related to formations, they can evolve a small world around them, and the amplification of combat is even stronger than that of the Grandmaster realm.

"The atmosphere there is very interesting." Halfway through the walk, Fang Qingxiao suddenly raised her eyes and looked toward a protrusion on the cliff.

"That is the center of the large-scale Qi-gathering formation, responsible for collecting and storing invisible things such as blood, evil spirits, and resentment to prevent accidents. After so many years of accumulation, if these things are allowed to spread, they will not only corrode people's hearts, but also produce many evil things such as resentful ghosts."

After a brief explanation, Fang Xiwen released her hand, "Sister, if you want to gain enlightenment, remember not to get too close. I'll go down and say hello to Wenxuan."

"Okay, don't run around. I'll come find you later."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid..."

~~

In front of the pass, "Haoran Badao" Wang Wenxuan was patrolling as usual.

After patrolling several times and visiting his injured subordinates, he came to rest behind a sentry post. After thinking for a while, he took out a formation plate from his arms and examined it.

'For the Shenji Sect, mass production of this simplified array is not a difficult task. If the Longwei Army is equipped with it, it should be of some use. 'A few days ago, not long after the demons retreated, my brother-in-law came to me like this.

"But there is Xiwen's hard work in this, right? They will learn from it."

'It's okay, just some coding ideas... It's okay, as long as I can help you. But I want to remind you that this matter is not suitable to be discussed directly.

Although the Shenji Sect is a righteous sect and its actions are fair and aboveboard, it is not safe after all.'

"Are you afraid they'll report this to the higher authorities?"

'Hmm. To put it in a broader sense, the Wang family has recently been working with the Mingyue Sword Sect to improve military equipment and has been in frequent contact with the Shenji Sect, all for the purpose of increasing their armaments. Maybe then they will be accused of treason.

At the very least, it might arouse suspicion, so it would be better to take a roundabout approach and talk to the Yiling Yun family.'

The Yun family has been ensconced in Tiannan for generations and have inherited the tradition of Tianyan sorcerers, and are also extremely skilled in refining equipment. Wang Wenxuan also knew that this was the best choice, as they were from the same family and were more trustworthy.

But having said that, the two families are so far apart from each other, how can they be related?

"Wenxuan!"

A clear voice was heard, and he stood up and looked. A man in a blue shirt was walking down the ramp and waving.

"Xiwen is here. Why isn't your sister here?"

"She went to observe the Qi Gathering Array." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fang Xiwen pointed ahead and said, "I want to go and see the master's work again. Does Wenxuan want to come with me?"

"Let's go."

After crossing defensive formations such as chevaux de frise and trenches, the two walked forward side by side.

In fact, one of the reasons why Fang Xiwen came to check was that he wanted to survey the situation in the spiritual realm in advance.

Since these formations are extremely large in scale and cover a wide area, even if the pass is broken as he speculated, there will definitely be residual power, which may be able to be used.

~~

"Wenxuan, the formations here were all set up by Sect Master Yang, right?"

Looking at an extremely mysterious array pattern, Fang Xiwen asked.

Yang Huaian, the head of the Yang Sect, is the 24th generation head of the Shenji Sect. He is recognized as the best in formation art in the world. His own cultivation has also reached the eighth place on the Earth Ranking, and he has reached the ninth level of the outer realm.

Compared with his personal strength, the power he and his disciples represent is more formidable.

The Shenji Sect possesses two extremely important channels for practitioners: refining equipment and refining pills. Even the most powerful Dharmakaya masters will not offend him easily for the sake of their disciples and others being able to practice normally.

"Yes. If the Sect Master had not come and transferred the formation of the Emperor's Sword to the Jun Cen Sword, we might not have won the battle of Guihua Mountain, and there would be no Wang Family today."

As he spoke, Wang Wenxuan felt a little emotional.

Despite such a great favor, he had to be careful to avoid being blamed by the royal family.

Passing by one formation after another, some used for defense, some for killing, and some for gathering energy, Fang Xiwen built a plane coordinate system in his mind and silently memorized their relative positions.

Suddenly, he remembered something, looked up at the bulge on the edge of the cliff, and asked, "Wenxuan, where did the blood and evil spirits collected by the Qi Gathering Array go?"

"Of course, they are put in glass bottles or something like that, and some masters are invited to hold a ceremony or use Buddhist teachings to convert them. In short, they cannot be allowed to pollute the world.

With the demon boats going back and forth, it wouldn’t be a big deal to make a few more trips.”

Run a few more times... Fang Xiwen knew that from time to time, demons would come to attack this pass, and without exception, they would be killed by the Dragon Power Army, with blood spilling on the ground.

But after so many years, they should have known that this barrier could not be breached so easily.

The previous sneak attack from Luyang also confirmed this point.

If that’s the case, then wouldn’t these monsters have died in vain?

"Xiwen?" Seeing that he seemed in a daze, Wang Wenxuan spoke.

"Ah, I thought of something." Fang Xiwen shook his head and took out an object. "Do you think this can replace the glass bottle and be used to hold blood and qi?"

"It's not that easy...Blood God Stone?!"

Seeing him casually take out the things, Wang Wenxuan was stunned.

Everyone knows that the Southern Wilderness Blood Robe Sect has such a precious treasure, which is unique and can not only store the blood evil energy, but can even automatically refine it to help with spiritual practice.

However, when the leader Chi Ersha was alive, the Wang family would never negotiate with such an evil demon.

After Chi Ersha's death, the twelve Blood God Stones were scattered all over the world, and countless people were frantically searching for them.

Even the giant Xinggong among the Nine Demonic Paths has joined the game, offering a very high price for its collection. It is said that one has been obtained from a certain casual cultivator.

"Yes, I just thought of it. Is one enough?"

"...You have anything else?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiwen just smiled and did not explain. He continued to survey the formation.

Chapter 314: Spiritual Realm

Soldiers were patrolling everywhere in the rift valley. Amid the grinding of armor, this scarred area seemed quiet.

As he expected, Wang Wenxuan was a smart man. After taking the Blood God Stone, he didn't ask anything. He just bowed and left.

After walking there several times, and considering that this was not Fang Xiwen's first time here, it took him some time to memorize the terrain of the entire rift valley.

After paying special attention to several formations, he went up the cliff and found Fang Qingxiao who was observing the core of the formation on a protruding part.

The latter seemed to be deeply absorbed in meditation. When he turned around, his eyes were filled with a blood-red color, which was the color of resentment and blood; when he saw him coming, the redness quickly dissipated and returned to its clear look.

"Sister, we are ready to go to the secret realm."

"it is good."

Pulling her along, Fang Xiwen found a place where there was no one. With a thought, he called out the operation panel.

According to his plan, he and Fang Qingxiao would go in first, and then call in the remaining two "teammates" after the situation stabilized.

After all, based on their last experience in Xinggong Valley, even if they entered from the same entrance, they could still get separated; if it was just him and Fang Qingxiao, it would be easier to reunite. It would be too funny for four people to get lost together.

As he moved, a few lines of illusory text appeared in front of both of them.

Fang Qingxiao was a little curious when she saw it for the first time. She reached out to touch it, but naturally found nothing.

"Let me make it clear first, I have no idea what's in this secret realm. There might be some monsters that can't be killed no matter what," Fang Xiwen said solemnly. "Considering the environment at the pass, there might be evil things like vengeful spirits. You should be careful and act according to the plan..."

"Don't be afraid. If there really is a sister, she will come and save you."

"You should take care of yourself first."

As the words fell, the figures of the two disappeared from the spot.

~~

After a moment of blurred consciousness, Fang Xiwen quickly opened his eyes.

Looking around, he found that he was still in the place where he came in, but there was a large rock hiding their figures; the obvious difference was that Fang Qingxiao, who was standing next to him, was gone.

Not only that, looking up at the sky, the inky clouds seemed to be much shorter and more depressing. Even from a distance, he could feel the nauseating evil atmosphere.

"The demons are naturally hungry for human blood, and humans have an instinctive aversion to the smell of demons... It's really a contradiction from the root."

With a grumble in his heart, he flicked the corner of his clothes, and a thin wall of Qi emerged from his skin, flowing continuously outside his body.

This is the protective qi that one can naturally obtain after all nine orifices are opened and the inner world is completely perfected. At this stage, one can also emit a wall of qi from a distance, and kill people with a palm from a distance, which means one has already left the category of "human".

As the qi came out, the air around him was slightly filtered, and the nausea felt better. Then, he took out the Mingde Zhishan sword that had been unsealed, and waved it casually. The righteous qi circled around his body, completely resisting the erosion of the evil spirit.

With his hand on the hilt of the sword, Fang Xiwen walked out of the boulder where he was hiding and looked around. His pupils shrank.

If he hadn't remembered the surrounding features clearly, he would hardly have recognized that this was the rift valley he had just seen.

The terrain here seems to have been baptized by the great power of heaven and earth. Most of the towering cliffs on both sides have been cut away, and the steep terrain has disappeared.

The most dramatic change was in front of the pass. There were many trenches and barricades there, which made the ground look uneven, but now it seemed to have been "washed" and was as smooth as a mirror.

Then, he turned his head and looked back, and naturally it was a scene that had been trampled: the trees were dry, the ground was cracked, and there was no trace of people...
