"Tribe leader, how did you think of setting up the formation ahead of time?" Ji Liuzhen couldn't help but ask.

  This was also the doubt of Ji Ning and others, no one had seen the clan leader set up an ambush in advance, and the Ziyuan Palace cultivators from Xuelong Mountain came over... didn't even give their own side time to set up an ambush.

  "Look at things from a broader perspective, I've made some inquiries about the Yuanshi mine and found that it's quite large in scale. I'm afraid it will attract the greedy hearts of Xuedragon Mountain, so I've already begun to be on guard against them! It's possible that Xuedragon Mountain will come to coerce us, so I've set up a large array around us in advance. If we don't take action, then nothing will happen, but if we do, we'll have the upper hand. As for not telling you all? If I had told you that I was setting up a large array around us, would you still be this angry and resentful? I'm afraid that Xuedragon Mountain's people would quickly discover our weaknesses."

  "Uh-huh." Ji Ning and the others nodded.

  But Ji Ning also understood...

  It's actually not a secret when it's said, but when our group was shocked by the original stone vein earlier, no one thought of laying out a large array first. That's experience and training!

  "No matter what, I'm also being disloyal to my ancestors by doing this, putting the Ji clan in crisis." Ji Jiu Huo said with a low tone, "I didn't want to choose this path, but since I did, it's a head-on collision with Xue Long Shan. My Ji clan must sign a contract with the Da Xia dynasty as soon as possible. Once the contract is signed, it will ensure my Ji clan's safety for a thousand years. And in that thousand years, I believe my Ji clan can rise again, even if we're still weak and small, a thousand years is enough time for us to make arrangements."

  "Now..."

  "We'll just kill them, one is one. The more we kill, the less pressure on our Ji family." Ji Jiu's gaze swept over the crowd, Ying Po Po, old servant Ah Xing, Ji Liu Zhen, Ji Yi Chuan, and Ji Ning - these were the top warriors of the Ji family. "I, Xiao Ying, Ah Xing, and Ji Ning will join forces to kill that He Zhuo brother and sister! Liu Zhen and Yi Chuan, you two go deal with Ju San."

  "Yes."

  "Yes." Each one obeyed.

  Ying Po-po asked in a row: "What about that Dongzi? That's a big disaster, it must be eliminated as soon as possible."

  "He has already joined forces with Muzi," Jiufei said, "We will deal with them slowly later."

  "Go! I'll guide you through the fog." Jiǔ Huǒ immediately advanced, Yǐng Pópó, ā Xǐng, Jì Níng... four people went up together, and they were also the strongest four of the Ji family. While Ji Liú Zhēn and Ji Yī Chuān's fog in front of them automatically formed a passage, the two of them quickly advanced along the passage.

  ……

  Great array.

  Dongzi's face turned cold: "Actually fell into the hands of the old thief." Only to see that around him, eight black crystal balls appeared out of thin air. These crystal balls were all about the size of a human head, with dragon shadows moving vaguely inside. Only to see that on his body, the black long gown with blood-colored Eight Trigrams immediately emitted a bloody glow.

  A blood-red glow also enveloped the eight black crystal balls in the distance.

  "Ah!"

  Only to see eight giant blood-colored python silhouettes appeared around Dongzi Qi, playing with each other and constantly moving in the big array.

  "All of you junior brothers and sisters, don't move from a distance." Dongzi Qi shouted, while controlling his own Bagua Blood Dragon Array to continuously expand.

  The Bagua Blood Dragon Formation is constantly expanding.

  The eight blood-colored dragon illusions expanded their range, quickly growing to a hundred feet in size, directly enveloping the nearby Musubi. This kind of large array expanding indiscriminately in all directions... even if it's an illusionary array, there's no way to get lost!

  "Zi Qi, Shixiong." The man in gray clothes, Mu Si, exclaimed with surprise, for he had already been trapped within the Bagua Blood Dragon Formation.

  "What about the other junior brothers and sisters?" Dongzi Qi looked around.

  "No." Mu Si shook his head, "I've just touched the Bagua Blood Dragon Array."

  "Dongzi Qi gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: 'I'm with Muxi Shidi, you two be careful too... also, Jusan... take care of yourself!'"

  "Don't worry."

  "We siblings aren't afraid of them."

  "If you want to kill me, I will drag them down with me."

  Three voices came over.

  "It's infuriating." Dongzi Qi said unwillingly, "If we can't break this old thief's move, then the five of us joining hands wouldn't be something that the Ji family could bully. Just me alone is enough to destroy most of them. Mu Si Shidi, your mastery of the Wangu Qingteng technique is quite deep. If you use the Wangu Qingteng technique, can you break this maze?"

  "It's too difficult." Mu Si shook his head, "Even if we can break through, it will take a long time, and I'm afraid my yuan power won't be enough either."

  "Go ahead and try it out." Dongzi said, "I also have a bottle of Huan Yuan Dan here for you to use."

  "Alright." Mu Si gritted his teeth, "Then defense will be left to Shixiong."

  Dongzi Qizhen said with confidence: "You are in my Bagua Blood Dragon Formation, even if they all come together to attack... I am not afraid. What I fear is that they won't come looking for me! How detestable, if only I had killed them directly earlier, now I want to kill them but can't find them." He alone was a match for the other four junior brothers and sisters combined, unfortunately, his strength had nowhere to be used.

  "Get up."

  Mù suì then stood there, and a seed fell onto the ground.

  Wow!

  That seed suddenly sprouted a large number of vines and wildly extended in all directions.

  "The maze will confuse the senses." Mu Si said in a low voice, "My green vines will also be affected by the maze, and it's hard to tell the direction. However, these green vines will continue to spread and grow into other areas... constantly covering new areas. If they can grow endlessly, of course, they can cover the entire maze, even growing out of the maze range. My spiritual sense is also merged with the vines. As long as there are vines that have grown out of the big array, I will perceive it."

  "It's just that I don't know how big this formation is, after all. The range increases by tenfold each time, and my vines need to grow a hundred times longer to keep up. The further we go, the more astonishingly my yuan energy is consumed." Mù Sī also didn't have confidence.

  "Let's get through this." Dongzi gritted his teeth, "Being trapped like this, we can only wait to be slaughtered."

  "Hmm." Muzi stopped speaking and concentrated on casting his spell.

  Wow wow wow~~~~

  Innumerable vines grew wildly, and in the maze-like direction, it was hard to tell which way was which. These vines also grew randomly. But there was one thing that was certain... they spread towards places without vines! Constantly covering new areas.

  ******

  Another place.

  Ji Ning and Ji Jiu Huo were right there.

  "The siblings are just ahead." Ji Jiu Huo said, "I'll make the first move and attack. After the fog disperses, you will see them both. You all directly go and kill them in one strike."

  "Uh-huh." Ji Ning nodded.

  Wow!

  More than 700 sword artifacts appeared around Ji Ning, each with a faint white glow. The sword artifacts undulated slightly, drawing in the power of heaven and earth. Ji Ning's true yuan also converged through these sword artifacts, gathering in front of him into a dazzling white sword aura.

  Xiao Qian Jian Zhen Ninth Layer!

  "What a sharp sword tip." Ji Jiu Huo, Ying Po Po and Lao Bin Awaken were all shocked, although they had not touched it, they all felt the sharpness of the sword tip.

  The shadowy old woman pointed from afar, and three flying swords floated in front of her, each with a faint flame.

  The old servant Awakened beside him raised his hand, and a large black hammer appeared in it.

  "Up." Jiufei Yan was just a wave of his hand, and a flying sword with five colors flew out, breaking through the air. Jiufei Yan was famous for his poison and formations... This flying sword, although it was an entry-level magic treasure, was strictly speaking a poisonous sword.

  ……

  Thirty feet ahead of Ji Ning, there were two siblings, He Yu and He Yao. They too had employed talismans. A golden light enveloped their bodies as they hovered in the air, surrounded by two treasures that floated and flew about them - one resembling an iron pestle, the other a strange, gourd-like treasure.

  "We can't see around us, they'll definitely launch a sneak attack, be careful." The green-haired man, He Ming, said in a low voice.

  "Hmm." His sister, Kaede, was also on high alert.

  Suddenly——

  A colorful flying sword suddenly descended, incredibly fast, but the vigilant Hu Yu siblings were the first to deploy their moves.

  "Whoosh~~~" Suddenly, the floating vase spouted out a large amount of green water. The green water was like a curtain, extremely resilient. When the five-colored flying sword stabbed into the water curtain, its speed greatly decreased.

  "Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!"

  Three flying swords radiating flames also broke through the air, precisely Shadow Lady's three flying sword treasures.

  In an instant, He Fang and He Xing's faces changed drastically as they began to resist with all their might, but the water curtain was starting to hold up.

  "Boom!" A massive black hammer was even more powerful, directly penetrating the unstable water curtain, and then slammed onto the golden light on his sister He Xiao's body. The golden light suddenly trembled as if it were about to shatter.

  "Not good."

  "Hurry up, we're being targeted." The wheat fish was getting anxious from the consecutive attacks, it was clear that there were several people on the other side.

  Whoosh!

  A dazzling sword aura flashed across an arc, leaving a beautiful and desolate trajectory, instantly piercing the golden light that shook on her sister Huo Xing's body.
