Immortal Road.

East Valley.

Zhang Yunxi had been waiting for a long time. She had changed her makeup and clothes and looked ordinary. It was obvious that she had made careful preparations.

A black light suddenly appeared from a distance.

Lin Shan came as promised.

He recognized the person in front of him at a glance and asked in surprise:

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just a little dressing up to gain Shui Xingye's trust."

Zhang Yunxi didn't explain too much, but there was some fatigue in her tone, as if she was too tired in recent days, and she spoke in brief.

"I took a quick look around the East Valley and found a suitable spot for an ambush. There are several demon tombs connected together there. They should have been formed over countless years by the cold wind blowing from the southwest of the Demon Valley. The important thing is that it meets all the conditions!"

"Not only is it suitable for hiding, but also for setting up ambushes. Moreover, the arrays of Yin tombs connected together can subtly block the projection of the Zhoutian stars, which can greatly weaken Shui Xingye's talent."

"I have temporarily used my connections to exchange for a few sets of array plates. You can use them first."

It seems that she has done a lot of homework, searching for many places before locking on this place, suppressing Shui Xingye's star talent and at the same time luring the enemy deeper.

"By the way, can you set up a battle formation?"

Lin Shan took it and found that they were all formation plates for the fifth-order formation. They must be in short supply outside, and he didn't know where this girl got them from.

"Of course, right?"

He originally said that of course he could, but thinking that this time the Void Star Disk was left with his main body and not brought along with his Silence clone, he felt a little lacking in confidence.

Zhang Yunxi was very observant and noticed that this time he didn't seem as confident as before, as if he was hiding something. She immediately became a little suspicious.

"Something's wrong with you. You seem like a different person!"

"This aura, this inspiration, is different from the previous times."

"Friend Lin, is this still your real body? You didn't send a clone to fool me, did you?"

Lin Shan was shocked.

Wow, you can guess this? Is it that obvious?

"No, I am the same as you. I don't want to reveal my identity either, so I covered it up to avoid being held accountable by the Holy Land if the ambush fails."

"The ambush failed???"

Zhang Yunxi now felt something was wrong!

Don’t cheat me!
I have been running around and planning, and working hard for a whole month, just to achieve my goal in one fell swoop and kill the Holy Land's genius in advance.

In the end, I brought a jerk teammate with me???
"Hey, we have an agreement, can you be more serious?"

"Ahem, sorry, I just made a slip of the tongue."

Lin Shan was amazed at the girl's sharp perception. She could guess what he was thinking with just one sentence. In order to calm her down, he took out the Northern Division Crossbow and showed it to her.

"As soon as I heard about your plan, I naturally gave it my full support. You even brought the treasure from the fairyland with you. Isn't that serious enough?"

really.

When she heard about the treasure from the fairyland, the woman's attention was diverted and she stared at the crossbow cart in front of her.

It was made by immortals and was well-equipped. The pitch-black basalt pattern carried a majestic and murderous aura. A chill that went straight to the top of her head penetrated into her heart. She was fascinated by it.

"Is this the killing move of the Black Lotus Sect, a relic of the immortal world, to deal with Master Jinglian?"

"Yes."

"Last time you destroyed the Penglai Holy Land's replica of the Tongtian Lingbao Water-Dividing Flag, was it this thing that helped you do that?"

"Exactly."

Zhang Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the affirmative answer. She walked forward and stroked it gently. Looking at the huge frame, she actually couldn't let it go.

Lin Shan waited for a while, but found that she was still touching his big baby.

"Cough cough."

I coughed twice on purpose, but the girl acted as if she didn't hear me.

"No, are you done yet?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry."

Zhang Yunxi was fascinated by the scene. When she came to her senses, she expressed a slight apology, reluctantly looked away, and reached out to take out two silver-white square bricks from her body.

"You are short of a sixth-order crystal core, right? I have two replacements here that should work. You can give it a try."

The moment Lin Shan saw this thing, memories from long ago came flooding back.

"Star Module!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Yunxi was also startled and looked at him in surprise.

"You know this stuff?"

Lin Shan suppressed his excitement and instantly opened his mind.

"Of course, this is the sixth-level driving energy source of the outer demon. How could I not know it? By the way, how did you get it, and two pieces at once?"

Zhang Yunxi's eyes were wandering, and she realized that she had underestimated Lin Shan. She did not give a direct answer, but casually replied, "I picked it up."

"Forget it, it's not important. Since you brought the treasure from the fairyland, the chances of success this time will be greatly increased. Hurry up and ambush at the designated location. I will also go to Penglai alone to announce the list and receive the reward!"

Lin Shan took back the crossbow and expressed his admiration for her generosity.

One person dared to break into the camp of the Penglai Holy Land alone to take down the notice. This courage was extraordinary. If it were me, I would definitely not go there. After all, I still understood the principle that a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.

The key is to lure Shui Xingye out in person. Without a good tongue, he might be exposed.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. If anything happens, call me in time."

"Why, if I'm really trapped in the camp, you'll come and save me?"

"No, I know that your deception failed, so I'd better evacuate early to avoid wasting time waiting."

"."

The two were speechless for a moment.

Lin Shan looked serious and told her to be careful, then picked up the Star Element Module and the formation disk and turned away.

Follow the map to find the trail.

We arrived at a place where East Valley and Central Valley meet. The place was filled with devilish fog and there were natural grave mounds everywhere. Each mound was of different heights and looked dark and creepy. The sand and wind made us feel cold all over.

The southwest wind is blowing hard, and the natural wind vent lasts for a long time.

He stopped and surveyed the terrain, and discovered that hidden beneath the sand was a Yinming Chen mine with a strong interference capability.

This substance can reverse the senses and isolate the vital energy of heaven and earth in a limited range, making it impossible for cultivators to rely on too much external force from a distance. If used properly, it can indeed have unexpected effects.

He took out the array plates that Zhang Yunxi had collected and used them in a cross-shaped manner to form five rings.

The five large formations are linked together and are more suitable for the terrain here.

On the contrary, superposition will make it easier for them to be destroyed all at once.

Because Lin Shan understood the flaws of the formation too well. Only with the spiritual veins, the feeding and supplementation of many spiritual stones and spiritual crystals, and the joint efforts of the formation masters at each node, and the key is to have a formation master to coordinate, can the maximum effect be achieved!
This is why the mountain protection formation of the top sects is so impregnable.

But for someone like me who is in the late Nascent Soul stage or above, if it is just a simple arrangement, it can basically be broken easily and will not have much effect.

Therefore, it must be launched at a critical moment, at an unexpected opportunity, to play a restraining role. I think this is what Zhang Yunxi meant.

He did not put his hope and energy on the formation, but focused on finding the most hidden corner and set up the Northern Division's crossbow cart early.

As soon as the people from the Penglai Holy Land arrive, he will launch a surprise attack with all his might, using the relics from the fairyland as the vanguard!
Since it's a surprise attack, there's no point in testing or not.

Strike with all your strength, preferably when the opponent is least alert, to injure him severely and secure victory!

He placed the Star Yuan Module into the slot and pushed it in with force, because the crossbow cart was designed to hold various spirit crystals. The Star Yuan Module was a bit large, and he did not dare to break it open and crush it to put it in. After all, the energy structure of this thing was different from that of the spirit crystal.

Slightly pulling the crossbow string, silver-white spots of light flowed, and he could feel the surging flow of high-energy photons and electric particles converging, mixed with a lot of star energy. This was the interstellar energy that the evil demons from outer space had mixed themselves to adapt to the combat methods of this world.

It was used on the immortal treasure Beishi Crossbow Cart and was unexpectedly useful!
After he had a clear idea in his mind, he gently put the crossbow string back to its original position. Without conducting any more tests, he looked around and waited quietly for Zhang Yunxi to arrive.

three days later.

A light blue boat appeared in the rolling magic fog.

The two rows of waves separated, leaving behind a long tail flame.

"Junior Sister Yun, this is the place you mentioned. Is the wanted person still here?"

"Wait a moment."

A female cultivator in linen clothes and ordinary appearance took out two divination tools and began to deduce. Behind her, a man and a woman in the late Nascent Soul stage were watching her every move.

It was none other than the Cuiyun Palace Master of the Penglai Holy Land and the Great Elder of the Yuanmo Sect, the True Lord Chiyan.

At the bow stood a blue-haired woman, her eyes as clear as a polar ice lake, with a miniature lunar shadow floating in the depths. Her skin had a cold porcelain-like luster, and she was wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress, which fluttered in the wind.

She was sensing her surroundings, expressionless, and suddenly said something out of the blue.

"This is a good place for an ambush."

"Bang bang bang~~"

Palace Master Cuiyun and Elder Chiyan turned around and found that the woman in hemp clothes was not at all flustered. She quickly put away the divination tools and stated the result in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"The wanted man is still here, do you want to go in, sister?"

"hehe."

Shui Xingye pursed her red lips, raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Have you anticipated any danger?"

"No."

"But why do I sense something is wrong?"

She moved her face closer suddenly, and her breath sprayed on the face of the woman in sackcloth, but the latter did not retreat at all, but just glanced at her calmly.

"I have delivered the message. I was originally planning to collect the reward and leave, but it was my sister who insisted that I accompany her and lead the way. Why are you afraid now that I am in front of her?"

"So, I forced my sister."

"Anyway, the goal is right in front of you. It's up to you whether you want to go or not. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

"Don't worry~"

Shui Xingye affectionately took the arm of the female cultivator in hemp clothes. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time. They were friends but also secretly competing with each other, making it difficult for Palace Master Cuiyun and Elder Chiyan to figure out what their relationship was.

"This man was able to destroy our Penglai base camp before. He must have a powerful weapon in his hand. I am alone and weak, and I am afraid I can't stop him. I need your help."

As they were talking, the boat had already sailed into the Demon Tomb area. Below was gloomy and sandy, and the violent southwest wind made it impossible to open one's eyes.

The strange howling sounds were as if one had entered a desert ghost town with countless evil ghosts buried under the graves everywhere.

Although the woman in hemp clothes appeared calm on the surface, she was actually very anxious inside and had been waiting for Lin Shan to make a move. However, she did not encounter any obstruction even when she reached the deepest part of the demon tomb.

"What on earth is this guy doing?"

Below, Lin Shan remained hiding and did not move.

In fact, he saw the small boat as soon as it came, but he didn't take action because Shui Xingye actually held Zhang Yunxi's hand.

The two were too close to each other, almost merging into one, making it impossible for him to attack!

If the crossbow cart is activated now, what will happen if Shui Xingye uses Zhang Yunxi as a shield? If an ally is accidentally injured, the fate of Jiemie's clone will not be much better.

So he could only wait and wait for the opportunity.

Zhang Yunxi also guessed his concerns in the sky. Every time when she wanted to withdraw inadvertently, Shui Xingye would hold her tightly. They were so inseparable that if you didn't know them, you would really think they were close friends.

Until one moment, the boundary of Central Valley appeared in front of them, and they had reached the end of the Demon Tomb.

"Sister, didn't you say the wanted person was hiding down there? Where is he?"

Shui Xingye stared at her with his cold eyes, and the two late Nascent Soul masters behind him surrounded her on the left and right, blocking the place with a faint aura.

Zhang Yunxi's heart trembled!
The original plan was flawless. She had made countless efforts before and successfully gained the trust of the people in Penglai, accepted the reward and lured Shui Xingye here.

But on the spot, the opponent broke it with just one simple move, without any effort!

As a result, Lin Shan was unable to find an opportunity to launch an unexpected attack and could only continue to lie in wait, while she was in a precarious situation.

"Sister, how can you find someone if you're hanging around in the sky? For his own concealment and safety, he must be hiding deep below. Why don't you go down and look for him yourself?"

"Makes sense."

Shui Xingye nodded to the two people behind him. Palace Master Cuiyun and Elder Chiyan acted separately, landed and began to use large-scale means to investigate.

Zhang Yunxi was still being held by Shui Xingye, and the two of them stood in the sky and watched.

Obviously, he knew that Lin Shan had a powerful weapon and was deliberately taking precautions against the Northern Division's crossbow vehicle. Shui Xingye's plan was very clever.

This made Lin Shan and Zhang Yunxi wary of each other and unable to cooperate!

Time passed awkwardly.

After checking for a quarter of an hour, the two people below came back to report.

"Saint, no trace of that person has been found."

Zhang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lin Shan was not exposed.

But what came with it was Shui Xingye's unfriendly look, and his tone became slightly unfamiliar.

"Sister, you swore to me that the man was hiding here, but you didn't find him?"

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the darkness.

What made Zhang Yunxi feel incredible was that the thin magic fog in the sky cast down cold moonlight, which was the power of Taiyin!

Originally thought that the Demon Tomb would isolate the stars in the sky, but unexpectedly it was ineffective against Mercury!

The cold and damp water spiritual energy around slowly gathered, the aura on Shui Xingye's body gradually rose, and the two people behind him also slowly approached and took out their spiritual treasures.

At this juncture, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse for Zhang Yunxi. Everything had been going smoothly before, but suddenly she was caught in a passive position and her brain was racing to find a way out!

Lin Shan below watched from afar.

Seeing this situation, how could you not know that something was wrong?

Originally, I saw her luring people from Penglai here, and I was secretly admiring her strength, but Shui Xingye is not a fool, let's see what you can do now! (End of this chapter)
