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

The interactions between Chen Xuan and the disciples of Cangyun Ridge were tinged with ulterior motives. After all, although Chen Xuan was on the side of the war and in charge of the overall command of the battle, he absolutely did not want the disciples of Cangyun Ridge to know that he was not of the Jiang clan bloodline.

At this time, the Longxia clan was located on the edge of the Jiang clan's territory, and its overall strength was far too weak. Chen Xuan would never do something that would easily attract hatred.

As a squad of nine Cangyunling disciples was defeated and captured, their mournful cries and warnings pierced through the layers of mist and reached the ears of Ziyu and Ziyun's squads.

Upon learning that the third squad had been defeated in such a short time, the hearts of the eighteen disciples from the other two squads trapped inside the formation sank.

The disciples of Cangyun Ridge were by no means as weak as the three overlord factions of Qushan. Regardless of their profound sect heritage, their combined formation techniques alone were like a dimensional reduction attack against the Qushan forces, who were like natives.

Moreover, those nine third-generation disciples are all old guys who have lived for nearly four hundred years. With the wealth they have accumulated throughout their lives, who among them wouldn't have some means of protecting their lives?

However, the result was that they had lost, and lost so thoroughly that even if they used all their trump cards to save themselves, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out until reinforcements came to their rescue.

A gloomy and desolate atmosphere instantly enveloped the hearts of the members of Ziyu and Ziyun's teams, like an invisible haze.

"What a fine Qushan Jiang Clan, what a fine Jiang Tianxiao! After one battle after another, we thought that their spiritual energy and mental strength were greatly depleted and they would not dare to launch a large-scale attack on our three teams. But unexpectedly, they not only concealed their strength, but also had the ability to break through the combined formation of the third team in a short period of time."

Ziyu's face was gloomy as he scanned the endless mist before him. "The complexity of this formation has increased, and by more than one level."

Upon hearing Ziyu's words, the leading disciples, including Hei Song, all showed expressions of astonishment.

"Senior Brother Ziyu, are you implying that the Jiang family deliberately allowed us to break the formation before? Was it so that we would lower our guard and enter the formation?" Hei Song asked Ziyu, frowning. Ziyu remained silent, but his silence was an implicit agreement.

Immediately, the other disciples who witnessed this scene panicked. "What should we do? The Jiang family deliberately tricked us into entering the formation; they must have a backup plan!"

"The Jiang clan is so small, yet its foundation is so profound. It seems that when we travel in the future, we must not underestimate any indigenous tribe with a thousand-year history." Upon hearing this, Ziyu frowned slightly. As cultivators, they were all people with powerful souls, and he had a strong sense of crisis.

"Alright, let's head to the Ziyun Squad right now. The two squads can combine to practice the combined formation of eighteen people. At that time, our combined defensive power will be even stronger. With Junior Brother Hei Song leading the defense against the Jiang Clan's attack, we can break the formation with peace of mind!"

Ziyu was undoubtedly the core figure in the group at this moment, since their safety to leave the formation depended entirely on him. Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed to Ziyu's suggestion.

*Snap!* As one jade talisman shattered, Zi Yun also crushed its corresponding jade talisman, and then the two teams moved closer to each other. This scene was naturally seen clearly by Chen Xuan, who was in charge of the formation.

"Hmph, feeling threatened, instead of seeking efficiency, they're starting to prioritize stability in breaking the formation?" Chen Xuan formed hand seals, connecting his spiritual energy with the great formation. Immediately, endless cold air and arrows began to attack the two teams like a surging tide.

"Unfortunately, from the moment you entered the formation, none of your objectives will be achieved."

A barrage of icy arrows and icy mist swept through the two teams like a raging storm. Because the Frost Devouring Heaven Formation was an advanced version of the Frost Formation, and was led by Chen Xuan, the coldness increased exponentially.
