Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

"Senior Luo, there is a misunderstanding." Seeing that something was wrong between the two parties, the head of the Zhu family quickly stepped forward.

"I invited the immortals from Luoxia Sect. I haven't had time to tell Senior Luo about this yet. The immortals from Luoxia Sect are here to solve the problem in Xi Village."

Luo Shan looked uneasy, turned his eyes away calmly, and said to the head of the Zhu family:

"Since Patriarch Zhu has invited several people from Luoxia Sect to handle this matter, I will not disturb you anymore. I'll just..." Before he could finish the word goodbye, he was interrupted by Patriarch Zhu.

"Senior Luo, I didn't tell you about this in advance. Can you please stay for the time being for the sake of the lives of the innocent villagers in Xi Village?"

The other party only stayed for one night but found out a lot of things, which shows he is quite capable.

When Qin Yi heard the head of the Zhu family trying to keep Luo San, he looked a little unhappy.

Qin Yi changed his mind and saw that his junior sister also looked unhappy, so he winked at his second junior brother.

"Master Zhu, we have accepted the mission from the sect to deal with this matter. I wonder what happened in this Xi Village?"

"Well, Immortal, please listen to me tell you the details of what happened." Seeing Luo Shan's warm expression, the head of the Zhu family felt a little relieved and repeated what he had said to Luo Shan before.

"Last night, Senior Luo found out that this matter might be related to the evil cultivators. The person behind the scenes used the formation to abduct ordinary villagers. I'm afraid they are in great danger."

"Formation?" Qin Yi looked strange, and looked at the handsome boy behind him:

"Junior Brother Shen, have you noticed the existence of the formation?"

Among them, only Junior Brother Shen had learned the formation and had achieved a high level of attainment. Even before he established his foundation, he was already able to make a first-grade formation plate.

"No, but this place gives me a very strange feeling. I feel inexplicably uncomfortable." Junior Brother Shen frowned, thought for a while, and took out a transparent bead from the storage bag.

"Array-breaking bead?" The Zhu family patriarch asked in surprise, his eyes fixed on the bead in the hands of the cultivator named Shen.

Shen Juan held up the Breaking Formation Bead and injected spiritual energy into it. Soon, several strange patterns appeared on the bead, looking like a spider web.

"There is a formation, but the formation-breaking beads in my hand are too low-level. I can only detect the existence of the formation, but cannot break it."

"What can we do?"

If the formation-breaking beads cannot break the formation, then the evil cultivators behind the scenes can trap them in the formation, catch them in a jar and catch them all in one fell swoop?

I had thought of sending some of my clansmen away before, but now I think that the evil cultivator behind the scenes won’t let them go so easily.

"We cannot break the formation, but we can use all our strength to break a weak point in the formation's barrier. Once we tear a hole in the formation, we can force the evil cultivator out." Shen Juan said, looking at Qin Yi and Luo Shan.

"Big Brother and this Senior Luo are both at the Foundation Establishment Stage. With the combined efforts of the two, it won't be difficult to tear open a hole in the formation."

"In this case, I will trouble you two immortals."

The head of the Zhu family looked happy and looked at Luo Shan and Qin, but saw that both of them had a cold expression. Thinking of the tense atmosphere during their previous meeting, the head of the Zhu family said:

"Senior Luo, if you can solve the dilemma between my Zhu family and Xi Village this time, my Zhu family is willing to offer three thousand spirit stones as a reward for this time."

Three thousand spirit stones was a huge expense for the Zhu family. After all, the highest level of cultivation among their ancestors was only the foundation-building stage. In his generation, there wasn't a single cultivator in the family who had reached the foundation-building stage. These three thousand spirit stones were equivalent to the daily needs of all the family members in his family for half a year.

Three thousand spirit stones, these four words hit Luo San's heart accurately.

"Okay, although I'm a casual cultivator, I also know that cultivators cannot attack mortals. What evil cultivators do is also something I despise." Qin Yi's eyes twitched after hearing these righteous remarks.

Thinking of the words that the casual cultivator had said to blackmail his junior sister, he didn't believe that the other party was so righteous. After all, he was still tempted by the three thousand spirit stones.

Qin Yi felt dissatisfied when he thought that he and his fellow junior brothers had completed the task diligently, but the other party could get three thousand spirit stones just by participating.

Naturally, the disciples of Luoxia Sect do not have three thousand spirit stones. After all, they have accepted missions from the sect. When they complete the missions and return to the sect, they will receive rewards from the sect. If they take the rewards from the Zhu family and spread the news, it will damage the reputation of Luoxia Sect.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Qin Yi became. He glanced at Luo Shan inconspicuously and put away the coldness in his eyes.

"With the help of Senior Luo and the immortals from the Luoxia Sect, we will definitely be able to catch the evil cultivator behind the scenes." The head of the Zhu family felt relieved.

"Junior Brother Shen, you and Second Junior Brother will go around the village later to find the weak point of the formation barrier, and then come back to discuss the action together."

As the most powerful of the five team leaders and their eldest senior brother, Qin Yi naturally began to order his fellow junior brothers to take action.

Seeing this, Luo Shan said with a serious expression:

"The evil cultivator behind the scenes has been controlling the formation. If you two Qi-refining cultivators go out like this, I'm afraid something bad will happen. I will follow you, and if anything unexpected happens, I can also help you."

Luo Shan was still somewhat interested in the formation-breaking beads in Shen Juan's hand and in finding the weak points of the formation barrier. Regardless of whether he could understand it or not, he would always gain something by following him.

"Thank you very much, Senior Luo."

Unlike Qin Yi's hidden displeasure, Shen Juan was still somewhat grateful that Luo San was willing to protect him.

According to what the head of the Zhu family said before, the evil cultivator behind the scenes should have known that they had entered the village a long time ago. He must have been observing their movements by the formation. Once he discovered that he had some knowledge of the formation, he would definitely eliminate him first.

"That's great." The head of the Zhu family had a smile on his face.

"Third Junior Brother, come with me and Junior Sister to the place where those villagers disappeared."

Qin Yi wanted to see if there was anything unusual in the places where the villagers disappeared. It couldn't be that there was really no pattern. If so, no one had ever disappeared in the Zhu Mansion. This was also worth pondering.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. We'll discuss other things after everyone comes back."

Qin Yi stood up and led the two of them out of the hall. Luo Shan followed behind Shen Juan and another male cultivator of the eighth level of Qi Refining from the Luoxia Sect, silently acting as their bodyguard without saying a word.

Nowadays, Xi Village has become very quiet even in the daytime. The three of them walked along the stream and headed west.

After walking around the village, Shen Juan did not find any weak points in the formation's barrier:

"Enlarge it and take a look. I have roughly guessed what kind of formation this is. I never expected to see it here."

Shen Juan sighed, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

As a first-class formation master, it would obviously be quite difficult for him to break this formation. However, if he could really break it, it would obviously be beneficial to his attainments in the art of formations.
