To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

"Is the name of that magic weapon Ice Dragon Ball?" It was the first time that Sun Yi heard the name of that magic weapon.

The cold air released by this magic weapon can actually block the void and can also make the fifth-level demon king in the endless ice field increase in strength. It is definitely not a simple magic weapon.

"Indeed, this magical weapon comes from the upper realm. I don't know its specific grade."

"I heard from my father that this magic weapon has blocked the void near the Wanling Continent. Even a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Stage would find it difficult to pass through the area blocked by the magic weapon."

"It is said that a powerful person at the Great Perfection of the Spiritualization Stage once died in the cold air blockade. You are only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, and you can actually pass through this blockade. It is simply unbelievable."

Luo Ling looked at Sun Yi in shock. It was a miracle that Sun Yi could pass through the cold blockade of the Ice Dragon Ball.

"It seems that I am really lucky." Sun Yi then realized how lucky he was to be alive.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's think about the next arrangements." Sun Yi changed the subject.

Luo Ling's expression straightened as he looked at Sun Yi and asked, "What do you think we should do now?"

"It's very simple. We will use the time bought by Baiqiao Pavilion to fully enhance our strength, while also fully devoting ourselves to building the teleportation array connecting to Qingyun Continent."

"But now all the major forces in War City are eyeing the Luo family covetously. Even if Baiqiao Pavilion buys us some time, they will definitely attack us when the time is up."

"If all the major forces, plus the masters from Nanfeng City and Longyan City, attack the City Lord's Mansion together, then even if you raise your realm to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, you may not be able to stop their attack."

"So we still need to use the formation of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Give me the layout of the Nine Absolute Sword Formation. I want to modify it. The current Nine Absolute Sword Formation is too weak."

Luo Ling looked at Sun Yi in surprise: "This is the Nine Absolute Sword Formation. Even among the fifth-level attack formations, it is considered a relatively powerful formation."

"Using the Nine Absolute Sword Formation with all my strength, I can unleash an attack comparable to that of an early stage Spiritualization cultivator. Isn't that powerful enough?"

"This Nine Absolute Sword Formation can only unleash three attacks comparable to those of a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. It's too weak. I have to at least transform it into a formation that can threaten a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm." A gleam of light flashed in Sun Yi's eyes.

"A formation that threatens a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm? Are you kidding me?" Luo Ling looked at Sun Yi in shock.

"Of course, you already know the core secrets of our sect. You should know that once these core secrets are exposed, they will inevitably bring us trouble."

"Just considering the Qingyun Battle Armor and Charging Spirit Treasure we released, I believe Baiqiao Academy would also like to obtain our refining methods, so we need to make some preparations in advance."

"Do you think Baiqiaoyuan will attack us?"

"You never know. Just be prepared. It's better to be prepared."

"Also, all the cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion need to be re-screened. I will set up a heart-searching array to test all the cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion to ensure that there are no problems within us."

"Do we still need to use the Heart-Searching Array to test? There is no need for this. These cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion have been connected with my City Lord's Mansion for many years and are loyal to my Luo family..." Luo Ling disagreed with Sun Yi's decision. He believed that using the Heart-Searching Array to test the people in the City Lord's Mansion would hurt people's hearts.

Sun Yi stared at Luo Ling with a serious face and said, "Human nature is very complicated. We can't manage a force based solely on trust. This is irresponsible to the entire Luo family."

"I can tell you that as long as the benefits offered by the other party are great enough, even members of your Luo family may betray the Luo family."

"If the major forces approach us, and our people tamper with the formation, rendering the formation we rely on ineffective, what will you do?"

"Impossible..." Luo Ling was unwilling to believe all this.

Sun Yi stared at Luo Ling with a serious face: "Nothing is impossible in this world. I have seen many traitors who betrayed the human race for profit. This matter concerns the life and death of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Think about it, if someone really betrays and destroys the formation of the City Lord's Mansion, and the major forces attack, how many people in your Luo family will die at the hands of the enemy?"

"If something like this really happens, what's the point of regretting it then?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst. To prevent such a thing from happening, the Heart-Searching Formation must be set up, and then all the cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion must be tested."

"Don't worry. Anyone who passes the test will be rewarded. For example, my Qingyun Dew that can enhance the soul. I believe they will not have any complaints." Sun Yi showed the Qingyun Dew in his hand in front of Luo Ling.

Luo Ling thought about it and felt that if he gave rewards to everyone who passed the test as Sun Yi said, it would be possible to dispel the resentment in these people's hearts.

And if you think about it carefully, what Sun Yi said makes a lot of sense. You can't wait until the tragedy actually happens to regret it, because it will be useless by then.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Luo Ling nodded.

"We still have some time. Take me to the Luo family's treasure house first. Pick out any usable resources. Pack up and sell off the unusable ones."

Luo Ling hesitated for only a second before agreeing to Sun Yi's proposal. He led Sun Yi directly to the door of a nearby hall.

This hall looks ordinary, but Sun Yi can see that it is located at the core of the Nine Absolute Sword Formation and is one of the most core places of the sword formation's defense.

The entire hall is made of bronze, looks very solid, and is equipped with powerful defensive formations.

The main entrance of the hall is two huge bronze doors with complex array patterns engraved on them. Sun Yi looked carefully and found that there were seven mysterious arrays arranged on these huge bronze doors.

It is not easy to open these two huge bronze doors. On the left side of the bronze doors, an old man is sitting cross-legged on a stone platform. The old man looks very old and has the cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

When Sun Yi and Luo Ling arrived here, the old man's closed eyes slowly opened, and two rays of light flashed in his eyes.

"Girl Luo Ling, why are you here? Who is he?" The old man looked at Sun Yi with a wary look in his eyes.

Luo Ling bowed respectfully to the old man and said, "Greetings, Grandmaster. This is..."

Luo Ling didn't know how to introduce Sun Yi for a moment. At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly stepped forward and bowed to the old man: "Greetings, Grand Master. I am Sun Yi, Luo Ling's dual cultivation partner."
