A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

Wushuang took out a rattan chair and a small table, drank spiritual tea and ate snacks, waiting for the people to arrive, and then watched them get angry and mad because of missing out on the spiritual objects. It would be great if they could perform a madness live, Wushuang thought as he drank spiritual tea and ate delicious snacks.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and Wushuang sensed several unfamiliar breaths. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she secretly rejoiced: "Finally."

She pretended nothing had happened and continued to savor the spiritual tea and snacks, while observing the movements around her with her peripheral vision.

After a while, a group of people rushed in and appeared in Wushuang's field of vision. They were looking for something, with anxious and disappointed expressions on their faces.

"It seems they didn't find anything good. Hehe, only the land is left. They are disappointed, the atmosphere is bad, and they are very anxious, right?" Wushuang thought.

"Big Brother, that person must have gotten a lot of treasures. The ground is all new soil. All the spiritual objects on the ground must have been dug up by that person!"

"With so many things, I'm afraid one person couldn't have completed them so quickly, but there seems to be only one person's footprints here. How did he do it?"

"That person definitely didn't escape. Let's split up and search. Send a few more people to block the entrance of the cave. We must not let that person escape."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Liu set up a formation at the entrance of the cave before he came in. That person will definitely not be able to escape."

Just as the people here dispersed, they heard someone say, "Oh no! Someone is outside attacking the formation at the cave entrance."

Wushuang thought: There must be someone like them, rushing over with a simple mentality. This is going to be a commotion! Wushuang was not afraid of the big things when he saw the excitement. Seeing how nervous they were, the person who came must be very powerful.

Will we be able to see a dog-eat-dog drama later? Wushuang's eyes flickered with excitement.

Wushuang decided to wait and see how things developed. She continued to sit at the table, enjoying her tea and snacks, and calmly waited to see what would happen.

The attacks from outside were getting more and more intense, and the people in the cave began to grow restless. "What should we do? The formation is about to be broken!"

"We must find the person who got the treasure as soon as possible!" Everyone was talking.

At this moment, a loud bang was heard, and the formation at the cave entrance was finally broken. A group of strangers rushed in again and confronted the people inside. The two sides were on the verge of a fierce battle.

Wushuang secretly felt lucky that she had not been dragged into this. She was curious about how this farce would end.

"We are fellow Daoists from the Yinshan Sect. We are here to look for treasures. It's not nice of you to be like this!"

"Haha, stop talking nonsense. The treasure will naturally belong to whoever has the bigger fist! It looks like there are quite a few treasures here." After saying that, the two sides started fighting first.

The later group was generally stronger and had more people. However, some of the earlier group had some knowledge of formations and had already made arrangements before the previous group arrived. So the final outcome was uncertain! The earlier group was very particular about their positioning during the battle, clearly also using some kind of formation. Although I haven't studied formations in depth and haven't encountered this kind of formation before, I'm sure they weren't just randomly positioned.

Wushuang observed from the side, observing that there was a clear pattern in their movements: who was attacking, who was defending, even their footsteps were rhythmic. They would even quickly adjust their formations based on the actual fighting situation. It was obvious that there was a master behind the scenes directing them.

The weak were not at all inferior to the strong, and at this moment, a barrier of formation suddenly rose up. It was a trap set for the opponent during the battle! What a master!

The other party seemed no pushover either, and soon the formation was on the verge of collapse. Another large formation arose! Suddenly, a chilling wind blew. Wushuang, listening to the whimpering of the wind within his own formation, felt as if the air around him had grown a bit colder.

"Haha, Lingshan Pavilion, you don't think you're the only ones who know how to use formations, right? Let me show you the Nine Yin Formation of my Yinshan Sect!"

This is Lingshan Pavilion and Yinshan Sect, neither of them sound like big sects, right? But their formation skills are quite good! Anyway, I can't do it myself. Just think about that ever-changing formation. If I can figure it out, will I be able to break through the third form of my Fanhua Sword Technique? Is this a battle of formations? So exciting! Wushuang felt like the tea in his cup had lost its fragrance. His eyes were sparkling as he stared at the battle outside. It was so exciting!

Seeing this, Lingshan Pavilion quickly changed its formation. It used the Yang Protection Formation: This is a protective formation formed using yang blood. The "Yang Protection Formation" is composed of thirty-six copper coins, arranged according to the positions of the thirty-six Tiangang stars (the Big Dipper star cluster includes thirty-six Tiangang stars and seventy-two Disha stars, Tiangang is yang and Disha is yin).

The Yinshan Sect, leveraging the Yin energy beneath the mountain, had already established a Nine Yin Formation, making it more powerful. Lingshan Pavilion could only rely on the Yang Protection Formation to protect its own troops from the Yin energy. Even Wushuang's formation was consuming spirit stones at a much faster rate.

Although the evil spirits in the Nine Yin Formation feared the Yang Protection Formation, they were still directed by the person controlling the formation and continued to charge towards the Yang Protection Formation. The Yang Protection Formation, relying on human support and a makeshift formation, was at a disadvantage in terms of terrain and was on the verge of collapse. The area it protected was rapidly shrinking, and from time to time, people were exposed outside the formation and were entangled by the evil spirits, who sucked their vitality. The situation was taking a turn for the worse. Just when the Yinshan Sect was feeling smug and believed victory was in sight, Wushuang disagreed. She had been observing the person skilled in formations and suspected they might launch a counterattack. She saw him throwing something on the ground, which meant he must be setting up another formation, but she didn't know what kind of formation it was. The expression on his face was a mixture of solemnity, complacency, and ferocity. It was a very strange expression!

Wushuang was ready to evacuate at any moment, just in case they were going to destroy him and him. He had just packed up his things and was clutching a teleportation talisman in his hand, ready to evacuate at any moment if the situation got worse.

At that moment, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from Lingshan Pavilion, like thunderclaps from the sky, instantly drowning out the whimpering wind and the wailing of the evil spirits. Wushuang instinctively turned her head and saw a dazzling, piercing fire burst forth like a volcanic eruption. The intensity was so great that she couldn't help but squint. Along with this blinding light, a heart-pounding roar echoed through the sky, as if the entire world was shaken by this overwhelming force.

Immediately afterwards, the shrill screams of evil spirits pierced the sky. The sound was sharp and piercing, piercing people's hearts and making them shudder. At the same time, the crowd also erupted in waves of terrified shouts: "Ah..." "Are you trying to kill yourself?" "Madman!" "You bunch of lunatics!"

Seeing the situation completely out of control, Wushuang secretly felt something was amiss. She knew it was not a good place to stay for long; a single misstep could lead to her utterly doomed. So, she acted decisively, quickly gathering up her formation flags and unhesitatingly activating the teleportation talisman she had prepared.

This sudden change was truly shocking. Wushuang secretly congratulated himself on his quick reaction, as otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous. After all, not just anyone could watch such a lively spectacle without incident; a careless act could easily cost them their lives.

The moment she turned to leave, a terrifying scene unfolded! She witnessed the entire cave begin to shake violently, as if the very earth itself was trembling. With a series of dull roars, rocks and dust from the cave ceiling fell like raindrops, while hideous cracks appeared on the surrounding stone walls, spreading and expanding.

"Oh no, it's going to collapse!" she cried in her heart. Fortunately, the teleportation talisman had been activated and she was about to leave. In the end, she successfully escaped before the cave collapsed completely.

However, those without the teleportation talisman weren't so lucky. They watched helplessly as the massive rock above them mercilessly crashed down, unable to react in time. In the blink of an eye, the entire cave was buried under a thick layer of earth and rock, leaving it pitch black, unable to see a finger in front of its face.

What must those unfortunate people buried underground be feeling at this moment? Perhaps only those who experienced it firsthand could truly understand. If they carried powerful enough formations or protective magic weapons, they might have been able to hold out for a while, but escaping from this mountain of rubble would have been incredibly difficult. After all, this was the weight of an entire mountain bearing down on them, and with nothing to see, the feeling of helplessness and terror mingled with despair was palpable.

This time when I came out, the environment was completely different. I was next to a pond. Fortunately, I didn’t fall in. This teleportation talisman is still very powerful, or maybe I was lucky enough.

"Master, even though you didn't fall down, you still have to jump down by yourself." Xiaoli laughed secretly.

"Jump down by yourself? Why?" Wushuang asked in confusion.

"We've explored almost every area of this small space, and you've taken down every person we could possibly mess with. Don't you want to explore other spaces?"

"Is there another space here as well?"

"From what I've observed, the barrier here is quite weak. It should be a node that can lead to other dimensions."

Well, okay, I don't really want to go in the water. I hate that wet feeling. Wushuang frowned at the pool with a look of disgust on his face. He sighed deeply, "Ah..."

"Master, don't you want to go into the water?"

"Yeah, I got myself wet a lot and felt a bit chilly. It might be the effect of the Nine Yin Formation from before."

"Master, you forgot that you have water-repellent beads!"

Wushuang's eyes lit up. Yes, how could he forget! How could he forget? Wushuang frowned again! He was a cultivator, how could he forget something so easily? It wasn't that long ago! No! Wushuang's eyes suddenly became sharp.
