Chapter 52: Ancient Law Formation
Even Lian Fanglan, a calm and gentle woman, couldn't help but be shocked. As for the female disciples from the Qingyu Xianjing, it's not even necessary to mention them. Many of them were fourth or fifth rank, not much different from Lin Huarong, and at most only showed him polite courtesy as equals.
Witnessing Lin's powerful explosion, the crown prince of "Dongji Star Sea" at the early sixth rank was defeated and retreated in disarray. In an instant, he deeply surrendered in his heart.
No wonder the Master respected and invited this person as a collaborator, even delaying his departure date to wait for him. This person is indeed not simple, and only a strong master like the Master can see through Lin's true strength, while their abilities only see Lin's mediocre surface.
They were filled with emotion, if it weren't for Lin Hong, with his own strength, he had forcefully repelled the "Dong Ji Xing Su Hai" and saved the "Qing Yu Xian Jing" from danger. Especially in the future, the sect master Fang Shi Jie would have definitely been humiliated by that evil person.
The master's profound wisdom and foresight were like a beacon of light, carefully laying down this chess piece to allow us to narrowly escape. They felt grateful and admiring towards Lin Heng, and at the same time, they sincerely admired the master's extraordinary knowledge and insight.
Li Shi was equally astonished, she had known Lin Huan's abilities like the back of her hand. What astonished her was Lin Huan's control over "Exterminate Evil Stab", as well as the power it unleashed. This set of Exterminate Evil Stabs had been with her for decades, no one knew it better than her, yet even if she used all her might, she couldn't possibly display such terrifying power.
Lin Heng, this freak, is an extremely ordinary object with serious shortcomings, but once it's in his hands, it can produce a transformation that makes people full of wonder. With the departure of San Xi Taizi and the "Dong Ji Xing Suo Hai" group, as well as the defeat of the "Xing Suo Zhuan Dou Zhen" and the loss of the "Qing Yu Xian Jing" disciples' hidden strength gradually recovering, the strong outsiders who saw Ao Xi Taizi flee in disarray and the battle calm down, also returned one after another.
"Lord Lin, thank you for your great help. I will never forget the kindness of saving my life in the Qingyu Xianjing." Fang Lanlan swallowed a small bottle of Xiao Huiyuan Dan and recovered, slowly coming forward to express her gratitude.
Lin Hang stared at her face, stuttering a bit: "You... you're the one..." It had to be said that Lin Hang was seeing for the first time in his life such a beautiful woman who made him feel deeply incredulous. For a moment, he couldn't react properly.
"Fang Lanlan smiled and said: 'Please forgive me, Master Lin. My master instructed me to do so, therefore I have not shown my face to outsiders since I was ten years old. I hope you won't mind.'"
With a wave of her jade hand, she restored her appearance to its ordinary state as before.
Lin Heng nodded to himself, no wonder the Jade Fairy wanted him to change his appearance. With such a good-looking face, wherever he went, he would likely attract prying eyes with ulterior motives.
Yuán Qì's fellow disciple, Yīng Shǎo Fēng, also walked over, his gaze lingering on Fāng Lán's face for a while before reluctantly turning to Lín Héng and asking: "I don't know who this is..."
The disciples of "Qing Yu Xian Jing" didn't despise him for his weakness just now, but thinking that he had previously taken action for the sake of "Qing Yu Xian Jing", they couldn't ignore him either.
Yan Ruyan said: "This is our sect's invited cooperative partner, named Lin Heng."
"Cang Yuemen should be grateful for Lin Gongzi's rescue." The words were said, but the tone was clearly perfunctory and unappreciative.
It's no wonder he, as the successor of the Zangyu Gate, one of the three major sects in the Han country, would not easily show gratitude to a mere fourth-grade mid-term cultivator. Lin Huan saved his life, but isn't he just a small fourth-grade mid-term cultivator within the Han country? He, a sixth-grade cultivator, has already shown considerable face by making such a gesture.
The front row Lin did not notice his cold attitude, but instead thought of Chen Que from Chenjia Village... the Chen Que who was mentioned in the same breath as him in Qingniu Town. It is said that he went to Cangyu Gate, and it is unknown how he is doing now? He originally wanted to ask about him, but thinking that Chen Que had only entered Cangyu Gate for about a year, how could he be remembered by these top-notch sect figures?
The female disciple of Qingyu Xianjing was somewhat dissatisfied, being slapped into a pig's head by Ao Xi Taizi, and didn't even dare to resist. You still have the nerve to be arrogant? Your life was saved by others, yet you think you're so great. Compared to Lin Heng, they can't help but look down on this number one successor of Xuantian Sect.
Ying Shao didn't respond, and instead turned to the other side of the mountain path and said: "Fang Xianzi, it's been two years since we last met, let's catch up. If you don't mind my sudden visit, would you please invite me in and chat with me for a bit? My master has always spoken highly of you, I'd also like to learn from you."
"No need, I'll go with you. I'll just disguise another person as me, and as long as she doesn't reveal her true abilities, no one will be able to tell that it's not really me."
Lin Heng was taken aback, and only then did he remember that she had changed her surname at the age of ten. He nodded his head and said, "This is also good, it's best to let that disciple stay in the account tent and never come out."
In the darkness, four swift figures flashed by and disappeared into the thick black clouds.
Apart from Lin and Fang, there were also Li Shi, Ye Xiaocui, while Yan Ruyan was in charge of the overall situation at the camp. They used the concealment symbol to transmit directly outside, and then gathered together again before making a detour. In the dark clouds, they were not afraid of being tracked, because the line of sight was only about 20-30 meters, either turning back to see the pursuer, or the pursuer could only follow and lose their way.
I admire Lin Huan's ability to find a breakthrough in such a complex and gloomy situation.
It's likely that in the entire Han Dynasty, there is only one person with this ability.
Arriving at the place last time, Lin Hong scattered his divine sense outwards, confirming that there was no one.
He then descended onto that small patch of land, took out a piece of jade and indicated to the other three people to stand in certain positions.
Two pieces of fire crystal were embedded, and the three people disappeared instantly.
Lin Heng put away the diligent stone and took out a strange crystal, inserting it into a new position. He and the small magic array disappeared together.
Fang Lan and the other two were full of astonishment, gazing at the starry night sky and those hundreds of magnificent blue light columns. This grand formation was actually set up in another space?
If it weren't for Lin Guang's guidance, they probably wouldn't have even dreamed of the so-called "Great Array" being so hidden and mysterious.
"The black cloud and swamp outside can block the energy of heaven and earth, this is the hidden formation set by the arranger." Lin Heng walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, observing the changes in the big formation: "You guys are helping me set up the formation on the side, this formation is very complicated, it's hard to crack without a few days' time."
Ye Xiaocui looked at Lin Lang's eyes, full of admiration, and felt that this person was all-knowing and all-capable, profound and unfathomable.
Lin Heng's eyes were fixed intently on the hundreds of blue giant pillars, forgetting everything else.
"There are 360 blue pillars in total. If the estimate is correct, the destructive power of the entire array's core comes from these 320 pillars." He meditated for nearly two hours, took out the Array Soul Shocking Heaven Treasure, and his divine sense entered. Whoa! He was shocked, damn it, how come all spaces don't see the formation nodes? Is the entire space just explosive energy?
To verify this idea, he shot a law stone into the gaps between those light pillars. The law stone naturally turned to dust tens of meters away from the light pillar and immediately became illusory and void. He threw another one upwards into the night sky, with the same result.
Moreover, there was another possibility that if he and the people of Qingyu Xianjing suddenly disappeared, they would definitely be suspected. Fang Lanlan did not expect Lin Heng to rush into her account at midnight, if it wasn't for Lin Heng's voice, she might have immediately struck him down.
Lin Heng was already letting Yan Ruyan patrol outside, in the darkness, he smelled a faint scent of perfume, and Fang Lan's absolutely beautiful face appeared again in his mind. He dispelled his distracting thoughts and slowly said: "I've found the location of the formation, it'll take me several days to break through it. What do you want to do? Does Qingyu Xianjing want to follow me or wait for me to break through before coming to lead you?"
Fang Lanlan replied without hesitation: "I'll go with you."
"The recent turmoil, I need to deal with it, and it's not convenient for now. Moreover, the Furnace Hell is about to open, we need to make preparations, and there's no time for idle chatter."
Ying Shao's face fell as she ate the humble pie, her heart full of disappointment. Yet, she still forced a smile and made an understanding and considerate expression: "Fang Xianzi is right, now all parties are sharpening their knives, we all have our missions to fulfill, this timing is indeed not good. Let's take our leave first, if there's a chance in the future, we'll have a good chat."
Having said that, he bowed to Lin and led the people of Cang Yu Men away.
Lin Heng did not reveal the secret of "Furnace Hell" at first, but instead returned to his tent to rest and recover.
Before breaking through the formation, he must bring his mental state to the most perfect state.
"I have no opinion, but if you all disappear from the Qingyu Xianjing, people will immediately suspect. I'm afraid that when you obtain the treasure and come out, you'll become the target of everyone's attack, and they'll all rise up to strike at you."
After thinking for a moment, Fang Lan asked: "Then what do you suggest?"
She now trusts Lin's ability and strength, and gradually understands that the master let her listen to Lin's advice, which is very meaningful. Since she can't think of a way, she simply asks Lin.
"As a powerful sect, Qingyu Xianjing must have many competitors secretly monitoring its movements. However, with the approaching opening of the Furnace Hell, large numbers of people enter it every day to explore and test their luck, which is also a common occurrence."
"So you should follow me and take advantage of this opportunity. My suggestion is that you can send a disciple to enter the big array with me first, and then send someone to wander around inside every day. When the big array is about to break, you come forward, and I will lead you in."
Lin Heng took a deep breath, how is this going to work?! It's too perverted! He originally thought that these light pillars were just energy activation points, but he didn't expect the entire space to be like this.
An ordinary large formation must either leave a gap above to allow for a breakthrough, or leave a node in the formation that can be broken through by a breaker who patrols around it.
This formation does not have a node, what it means is that this formation is not set up by the spatial stone, but its body is a huge energy itself.
The Fa array is to use a special arrangement of energy stones, resonate with the energy of heaven and earth, mobilize the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use. Therefore, as long as there is a Fa array, the space stone cannot be avoided.
Lin Heng stared at this enormous energy composed of the law array, completely dumbfounded, how did he get into this situation!
