Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 626: Chapter 240: Friends Reunite, Demon Cultivator Attacks! (Two in One, Additional Chapter for 3000 votes in July)_5

Ling Zixiao watched the scene unfold, her beautiful pupils slightly constricted.

Her gaze turned toward Yu Ninghu, shrouded in a black cloak, trying to discern who the person was.

“The weak points of the Great Formation are a secret power of every family, absolutely not to be leaked to outsiders,” she thought.

“Apart from the Yu Family, no one else could possibly be so familiar with the weak points of Bi Lake Mountain’s Great Formation.”

“And within the Yu Family, only some core high-ranking members would know this secret.”

“Could it really be Ning Hu?”

...
“But Ning Hu has sworn a Heart Demon Oath and signed a Second Rank Spiritual Contract. Should he dare such an act, he would be invaded by the Heart Demon and suffer the backlash of the Spiritual Contract, his cultivation severely damaged, plummeting back to Qi Refinement.”

Ling Zixiao pondered in her heart, speculating whether this person could be Ning Hu.

Considering Ning Hu’s earlier Heart Demon Oath and the Second Rank high-quality Spiritual Contract he had signed,

if the other party dared to break the agreement, the backlash from the Spiritual Contract would surely bring disaster.

In the Cultivation World, there are many methods, and neither Heart Demon Oaths nor Spiritual Contracts are unsolvable.

But the Yu Family is merely a Foundation Establishment Family.

They absolutely do not have a way to circumvent a Heart Demon Oath and a Second Rank Spiritual Contract without paying a price.

“No, this can’t go on like this,” she muttered to herself.

As time went by and the surging of mana inside her became increasingly burdensome, Ling Zixiao knew she could not continue this stalemate with the opponent.

Otherwise, in the end, she was the one who would be at a disadvantage.

“Turn!”

Channeling her mana, she flicked her wrist over the Array Plate, instantly reinforcing the Great Formation, including the weak point where Ning Hu was located.

Afterward, from her pale lips devoid of color, she gently exhaled, “Rise!”

“Huff huff huff——”

In an instant, the azure sea-like Great Formation churned, with symbols akin to swimming fish converging to form little golden and blue spheres, shooting towards Ning Hu.

These golden and blue spheres looked unimpressive, but each was the equivalent of a full-force strike from an early stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

“Boom boom boom——”

However, the moment Ning Hu saw the surging spiritual power of the Great Formation, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and fled.

As the former master of Bi Lake Mountain, he not only knew where the weak points of the Great Formation were.

But he was also very clear about the power of the Great Formation’s attack.

Knowing he was merely at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment,

he absolutely could not withstand the strikes of the Great Formation.

“It seems they not only know my lord is not on Bi Lake Mountain but also that I am injured,” Ling Zixiao took a deep breath as she watched Ning Hu’s actions.

She knew that the opponent had truly come prepared!

They not only brought means to break the formation but also had a thorough understanding of her family’s current situation!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be two people coming to break the formation, and they were clearly aiming to fight a war of attrition with her.

“The only option is to rely on a Talisman to catch one off guard,” she thought to herself, having made up her mind.

She planned to catch the opponent off guard with a Third Rank Talisman.

She refused to believe that the enemy also knew she had a Third Rank Talisman at her disposal.

Even she was extremely surprised when Lu Changsheng gave her the Third Rank Talisman.

She wondered where her lord had obtained such a Talisman.

“Array, activate!”

Ling Zixiao manipulated the array plate, directly transitioning from defense to offense, allowing the great formation’s mists to continue surging and tumbling.

Countless prohibition runes converged, turning into numerous small golden-blue orbs, launching precise strikes at Yu Ninghu and the man in the black robe.

“Swoosh—”

Yu Ninghu, who had been attacking the great formation from a distance using spells, immediately fled even farther upon witnessing this scene.

Yet, the man in the black robe faced this onslaught undaunted, conjuring a bronze bell.

“Hum!”

The bronze bell resounded with a boom, bursting forth with an ancient bronze light shield that enveloped the man in black, directly withstanding the Bi Lake Mountain Great Formation’s assault.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

The golden-blue orbs struck the bronze bell, causing a series of intense roaring explosions.

“Foundation Establishment Late Stage!”

Ling Zixiao, upon observing the man in black robe’s actions and seeing his spiritual artifact, the bronze bell, immediately knew that the opponent possessed the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to withstand so many strikes from the great formation so easily.

“Since you wish to break through the formation, I’ll let you break it!”

Ling Zixiao’s pale and elegant face took on a chilling hue.

She sat cross-legged, her hands forming seals, while the array plate before her buzzed and vibrated.

One could see, on Bi Lake Mountain, the Bi Lake Mountain Great Formation suddenly generated a multitude of ripples, with runes meandering across it, condensing into a dread-inducing Five-Colored Long Spear.

At that moment, Ling Zixiao completely opened up the Great Formation’s defenses, allowing the two attackers to strike and create fissures.

“Hmm, getting desperate, are we?”

“Do you really believe you can annihilate us both? Utterly delusional!”

The man in the black robe saw this and his gloomy eyes flashed with a crimson gleam as he formed hand seals.

“Rumble, rumble—”

Suddenly, the ‘Prohibition-Breaking Pearl’ in front of him erupted with light to its utmost limit, like a Flood Dragon roaring as it collided with the great formation.

“Break for me!”

At that moment, the man in black produced a Second Rank Prohibition-Breaking Talisman in his hand.

“Rumble!”

In an instant, a massive crack appeared in the great formation.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—”

The man in the black robe, catching sight of this crack, immediately turned into a black mist, tearing through the air like a tempest and rushing into the formation.

“Kill!”

Ling Zixiao, dressed in a blue robe, sat cross-legged with a clear and cold face, her beautiful Qiushui eyes gleaming brightly in the night.

“Whoosh!!!”

In that moment, the Five-Colored Long Spear, formed by the countless prohibition runes on the great formation, suddenly launched toward the man in the black robe.

“Hum—”

The bronze bell above the head of the man in the black robe boomed, soaring into the sky, bursting with a light shield to block the Five-Colored Long Spear.

“Rumble!”

But against the full power of the great formation, comparable to a full-strength strike from the peak of Foundation Establishment, the bronze bell let out a mournful cry as its light shield shattered and the artifact itself revealed a crack.

“You think you can slay me, as if I wouldn’t have made any preparations!”
