System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The three clan leaders could only swallow this endless humiliation in silence.

"We were negligent and derelict in our duties. Please forgive us, sir!"

"I never expected the Jiang family to be able to pull out such a powerful formation at the end!"

"Yes, we didn't expect the Jiang family's desperate counterattack to have such a strong foundation. We were careless."

……

How could the leader be wrong? The one who is always wrong is always themselves.

Moreover, the lie must be plausible and reasonable to save face for the leader; otherwise, if the leader is unhappy, they might make things difficult for you at some critical moment.

"Hmph, having learned this lesson, each unit will now directly advance in battle formation. Although this will greatly deplete the battle formation's sustained combat power, it is better than suffering such losses again."

Zi Yun spoke coldly, looking at the tragic scene of corpses strewn across the ground. There was no pity in his eyes, but rather a faint smile hidden within them.

"Yes, I will obey!"

After being reprimanded by Ziyun, the three clan leaders reorganized the remaining troops.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned grim.

This time, due to the schemes of the grand formation and the attack by the Jiang clan, our side suffered a loss of nearly 50,000 Xiantian Realm soldiers and eleven Pifu Realm soldiers. But that's not the most infuriating thing. What's most infuriating is that after suffering such huge losses, the old dog Jiang still managed to escape.

"All units, form battle formations and advance! Quickly!"

Such a heavy loss made the three clan leaders' blood boil. At this moment, without Ziyun's urging or pressure, they were filled with boundless hatred for the Jiang clan.

In just a dozen breaths, nearly twenty battle formations united on the ground and then began to march in a mighty procession.

The difference this time was that, compared to before, all the leaders of the Battle Formation were extremely cautious, after all, in the previous battle, nearly eleven of their own leaders had died.

As the army continued forward, Ziyun looked down at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the ground. He sneered and took out a small flag and a black bottle in his hand.

Under Ziyun's control, the flag slowly fell to the ground, and then the twisted, screaming, and begging souls were directly absorbed into the small flag.

Then came the black bottle, which was even more domineering, directly sucking up the river of blood from the ground high in the air.

Of course, the members of the three tribes in front could not see this scene.

Just because the members of the three tribes can't see it doesn't mean no one can see it.

Under Chen Xuan's divine sense surveillance, this breathtaking scene was also witnessed.

"Impressive methods. No wonder this is the cruel world of cultivation."

Chen Xuan, using his divine sense as a god-like perspective, was fully aware of everything that happened during that time.

They were secretly astonished to see that Cangyun Ridge did not even spare the blood essence and souls of the three overlords' clansmen.

"Young friend Chen Xuan, how is the situation?"

After the small teleportation talisman was crushed, Jiang Tianxiao returned to White Bone Peak.

Everyone was filled with gratitude upon seeing Chen Xuan. Without Chen Xuan's leadership and support, even with all their scheming and the resources of their ancestors, the Jiang family could not have achieved such a feat.

Just as the elders of the Jiang clan were still immersed in excitement, Chen Xuan poured cold water on them.

He scanned the crowd and said, "Sure enough, the result was not much different from what I had predicted. The reason why the Cangyunling sect started this war of hegemony in this barren Qushan was not for the so-called cultivation resources, but for a large amount of cultivators' essence blood and souls."

Chen Xuan recounted the scene he had witnessed through the grand formation to the Jiang clan's higher-ups, who all gasped in shock. They had mobilized all three clans for Cangyun Ridge! And yet, their souls and essence had been completely collected?

"You deserve it, you really deserve it!"

"This is what happens when you become a lackey!"

Jiang Tianxiao and the others cursed loudly.

Chen Xuan didn't dwell on the matter too much. He looked at Jiang Tianxiao with a serious expression and said, "Based on the situation just now, the blue-clad girl who broke the Five Elements Maze should be the spirit beast demon of the cultivator named Ziyu."

The moment Chen Xuan spoke, everyone tensed up. If the girl who could easily break through an entry-level maze with just a whip was merely a spirit beast of a disciple of Cangyun Ridge, then how powerful must her master be?

"Could it be that the girl's master is a master of formations?" Jiang Tianxiao asked Chen Xuan nervously.

Chen Xuan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at everyone and nodded slightly. "Generally speaking, spirit beasts don't usually have any powerful trump cards when they follow their masters, otherwise they wouldn't be so easily captured and subdued. For example, my Bai Li was once just a suppressed demon snake, but after following me, she began to excel in swordsmanship."

"In other words, the girl's knowledge of formations was likely learned over many years by her master through constant exposure and observation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianxiao and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

One of our biggest trump cards is the combined power of the three major formations.

If the enemy has a formation master who can easily break the formation, then our natural advantage will be completely lost.

"What should we do?" Jiang Tianxiao asked anxiously.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then made adjustments and looked at Jiang Tianxiao and the others: "Since there are experts in formations in the opposing camp, then we will do it this way, and this way..."

Chen Xuan then relayed his corresponding strategy to the others.

"Jiang Tianxiao, you will lead all the forces on the first front to Jiang Ming's second front and await further orders!"

Chen Xuan's voice was filled with an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianxiao straightened his hunched back and shouted, "I obey!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan's words meant everything to the Jiang clan members, and they would obey him unconditionally no matter what.

"Bai Li, obey my command!"

Bai Li, who was lost in thought, was startled when Chen Xuan suddenly shouted her name. She immediately replied, "Yes, Master!"

Chen Xuan looked at Bai Li, his voice serious: "You will go to the second front with Jiang Tianxiao. Your mission is to slaughter the enemy army while delaying the enemy's formation experts from breaking through the formation. You don't need to fight your way out of the formation; you just need to hinder them!"

Hearing that she was finally going to be on the field, Bai Li licked her red lips and said happily, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Xuan sent seven or eight elders of the Jiang clan, including Jiang Tianxiao, and Bai Li, a great demon with the bloodline of a divine beast in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, flying away at high speed.

Chen Xuan turned his hand, and more array plates appeared in his hand. Some of these were the two sets that Jiang Tianxiao had retrieved from the first battle line, and the other two sets were from the third battle line.

"Jiang Shan, come see me immediately!"

The speed of telepathic communication was extremely fast. In less than three breaths, Jiang Shan appeared beside Chen Xuan. He bowed respectfully to Chen Xuan and awaited instructions.

"I'll share a formation layout with you. Set up your formation according to the layout I've given you, and be quick!"

slam-la-

Eighteen yellow battle flags flew towards Jiang Shan, and then Chen Xuan pointed a finger at Jiang Shan's forehead.

Immediately, a map of a fifty-mile radius around White Bone Peak appeared in Jiang Shan's mind. The area marked by Chen Xuan's divine sense imprint was the best spot he had chosen to set up the array flags.

"The plan has changed. You go and set up multiple maze formations immediately, and I will set up the latter two great formations!" After saying this, Chen Xuan flew away into the sky.

"Jiang Shan will remember this!"

Immediately, the two split up and got busy.

If, after learning that the enemy possesses top-tier formation masters, we still use the Frost Arrow Formation and Frost Arrow Formation of the first line of defense to trap and kill the enemy, the enemy might deduce a countermeasure based on the survivors' descriptions and prepare accordingly.

If the triple formation is easily broken, then the second front will be unlikely to achieve the desired effect.

Therefore, Chen Xuan immediately made pre-battle adjustments based on the enemy's strength and characteristics.
