109: Falling into a trap, a lightning array

Jiang Yunfan, riding on the Golden-Winged Great Peng, found Yu Rou.

Li Qingchen became vigilant, immediately shielding Jiang Yurou behind him.

"Brother."

Upon seeing her brother, Jiang Yurou happily flew towards Jiang Yunfan.

"Brother."

Li Qingchen was stunned, not expecting the newcomer to be Jiang Yurou's brother.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I calculated that you were in danger, so I came to find you."

"Brother, we encountered a Demoness earlier, and we almost died at her hands.

I awakened the Clone our Master left on me, and that repelled the Demoness."

Jiang Yunfan didn't tell Yu Rou that he had killed the Heavenly Demoness.

He glanced at Li Qingchen, looking at Jiang Yurou with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your brother?"

Jiang Yurou's face flushed slightly, "Brother, his name is Li Qingchen.

A few days ago, I was attacked by a Netherworld Demon Wolf, and he saved me, so I've been Cultivating with him."

While Cultivating, she fell in love with him.

Jiang Yunfan knew that Yu Rou was experiencing her first stirrings of love; it would be hard not to be moved by a man as handsome, extraordinary, and righteous as Li Qingchen.

Li Qingchen stepped forward, "I am Li Qingchen."

Jiang Yunfan replied, "Jiang Yunfan."

"Thank you for taking care of Yu Rou for me.

We shall part ways here; perhaps we'll meet again if fate allows."

He turned to Jiang Yurou, "Let's go!"

Jiang Yurou looked at Li Qingchen with reluctance, then mustered her courage and said, "You must come to Lingxiao Sect to find me.

I'll wait for you."

Jiang Yunfan was speechless; how much did she like him!

She even asked him to come to her door.

"Let's go! Stop dawdling."

Jiang Yunfan pulled Jiang Yurou onto the back of the Young Peng King, and the two instantly vanished.

Looking in the direction Jiang Yurou had left, Li Qingchen's heart instantly felt empty, as if a piece was missing, hollow.

Although their time together was short, her figure was deeply imprinted in his heart, as if they had known each other for a very, very long time.

"I will definitely come find you."

Li Qingchen secretly vowed.

"Yu Rou, have you fallen for that Li Qingchen?"

Her brother's question made Jiang Yurou a little flustered, and she tentatively asked, "Brother, do you dislike him?"

Jiang Yunfan was speechless, "I'm asking if you like him, but you're asking me if I like him.

Your brother has a wife; I don't 'gaoji.'"

"Gaoji."

Jiang Yurou didn't know what 'gaoji' meant, and she explained, "Brother, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

"Alright, I know what you mean.

Whether I like him or not isn't important; the key is that you like him yourself."

"Of course it's important!

If Brother doesn't like him, then I, I..."

"If I don't like him, are you going to avoid him then?"

Jiang Yurou lowered her head, silent.

Jiang Yunfan comforted her, "Li Qingchen is an upright person, which is very rare in the Cultivation world.

I'd feel at ease entrusting you to him."

These words brought a look of joy to Jiang Yurou's face.

Jiang Yunfan poured a bucket of cold water on her, "If he wants to marry you, he must possess a Dharma Idol Realm Cultivation Level; otherwise, no matter how much you like him, I won't marry you to him."

Jiang Yurou was very confident in Li Qingchen's potential, "His Aptitude is extremely high; I believe he will definitely become a Dharma Idol Realm Giant."

Jiang Yunfan said, "You should go Cultivate in the qiankun pagoda first!"

He took out the qiankun pagoda and brought Yu Rou into the pagoda.

"It's time to leave."

He planned to leave the Secret Realm.

Most of the great Opportunities in the Secret Realm had fallen into his hands; there was no need to compete with others for those smaller Opportunities.

He had eaten the meat, so he had to leave some soup for others.

Along the way.

A golden light caught Jiang Yunfan's attention.

He released his Divine Sense to investigate, and saw a piece of gold a hundred miles away.

He knew this was no ordinary gold; it was very likely the Essence of Geng Metal.

"It seems my luck isn't bad; I can find treasures without the System's help."

Before others could discover this Essence of Geng Metal, Jiang Yunfan, riding the Young Peng King, arrived in an instant.

He grabbed it with his bare hands, drawing the baby-fist-sized Essence of Geng Metal into his grasp.

Although not large, it was incredibly heavy, weighing over a hundred catties.

Suddenly, a large Formation trapped Jiang Yunfan, with lightning flashing.

"Formation."

He had fallen for it.

Jiang Yunfan's expression was extremely grim; this piece of Essence of Geng Metal was someone else's bait, deliberately used to lure people into a large Formation.

He had thought he was lucky, that pie had fallen from the sky, but it turned out to be a trap.

A man emerged from the ground, "Another one took the bait."

Clearly, Jiang Yunfan was not the first person to fall for it.

Terrifying bolts of lightning struck towards Jiang Yunfan.

The lightning was blocked by the Mysterious Yellow Divine Light.

The xuanhuang pagoda floated above Jiang Yunfan's head, and the Mysterious Yellow Divine Light enveloped him.

Ten thousand bolts of lightning struck him, yet couldn't harm him in the slightest.

"Sacred Artifact."

Huo Guang was utterly shocked.

Then he was overjoyed, "This is a big fish!"

"What if he has a Sacred Artifact protecting him!

His Cultivation Level is too low; his True Essence will soon be exhausted.

Let's see how long you can last."

Huo Guang was very confident in the Heavenly Thunder Formation he had set up.

This was a Fifth-Grade Formation, more than enough to kill a Yin-Yang Realm Cultivator.

"System, give me information on the person who set up this Formation."

"This information is red, and requires consuming 5 years of the Host's Lifespan.

Do you wish to proceed with acquisition?"

"Acquire."

[Today's Intelligence (red): Huo Guang, True Disciple of Hunyuan Sect, Cultivation Level in the Early Stage of Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth-Grade Formation Master.

Proficient in dozens of Formations, he is insidious and cunning, having used Formations to trap and kill many powerful individuals.]

Formation Masters are extremely rare in the Cultivation world.

A Formation Master with weak Cultivation can easily kill high-Realm powerhouses by relying on Formations.

Killing enemies beyond one's Realm is as simple as drinking water.

Jiang Yunfan, protected by the xuanhuang pagoda, forcibly broke through the Formation.

Ten thousand bolts of lightning struck, all blocked by the Mysterious Yellow Divine Light.

"This guy's True Essence hasn't been exhausted yet."

Huo Guang was greatly alarmed.

If this continued, the person in the Formation would surely break out.

The Heavenly Thunder Formation was a killing Formation, not a trapping Formation, so it couldn't hold the opponent.

Huo Guang didn't want such a big fish to escape.

He immediately began to engrave a Formation, and soon he had set up an illusion Formation, the Thousand Illusions Great Formation.

The Thousand Illusions Great Formation was also a Fifth-Grade Formation.

As soon as that person emerged from the Heavenly Thunder Formation, he would fall into the Thousand Illusions Great Formation, becoming trapped in an illusion and unable to extricate himself.

Once his True Essence was exhausted, Huo Guang would launch a sneak attack.

Jiang Yunfan, riding on the Golden-Winged Great Peng, broke through the lightning layer.

If not for the Spirit Stones supporting the xuanhuang pagoda, he wouldn't have lasted long at all.

After breaking out of the Formation, Jiang Yunfan released his Divine Sense to search for the whereabouts of the Formation Master, but found nothing.

"Consider yourself lucky to have run so fast."

Just as Jiang Yunfan was about to leave, over a dozen Vicious Beasts appeared from nowhere.

The Vicious Beasts attacked him.

"Where did so many Vicious Beasts come from?"

Jiang Yunfan quickly unleashed the judgment sword.

He, riding on the Golden-Winged Great Peng, met the Vicious Beasts in battle.

In an instant, one Vicious Beast died under his sword.

The Vicious Beast Qiongqi controlled lightning and attacked Jiang Yunfan.

The other Vicious Beasts also used their Divine Abilities to attack, forcing Jiang Yunfan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng to flee in disarray.

Each Vicious Beast had the strength of the Heaven and Man Realm; how could he fight this?

"Master, you've fallen into an illusion."

The voice of the qiankun pagoda spirit came from his ear.

"Illusion."

Jiang Yunfan was startled.

No wonder he kept feeling something was off, but couldn't quite pinpoint it.

It turned out all of this was an illusion.

Huo Guang must have set up an illusion Formation outside the Heavenly Thunder Formation.

This guy definitely wasn't just trying to trap him with an illusion Formation; he wanted to use the illusion Formation to deplete his strength, and then he would make his move to kill him and seize his treasures.

A good strategy.

But it was destined to fail.

He would use their own trick against them.
