After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Seeing the two emerge, Ling Lili said sarcastically, "Finally out! You've kept us waiting for so long!"

The shackles retorted sarcastically, "To deal with us, they've even used a hundred-year-old Bodhi fruit. What a waste!"

Hua Rongyi didn't care at all, "As long as we can keep you here, what does it matter? Besides, we have plenty of that stuff."

He was so frustrated that he almost stopped Yan Wu, who was standing next to him, before he could say something more.

Yan Wu forced a gentle smile and said, "My dear friends, we have no grudges against each other. Why don't we each take a step back and pretend that today's events never happened?"

He paused for a moment and then added, "Of course, you young friends will also benefit."

Yunfan, the young master, suddenly became assertive and said, "This young master would never do something so dishonest. After all, we promised to resolve this matter first. You can only blame yourselves for being late!"

Yan Wu caught the key words and asked gently, "I wonder if you could reveal who made the deal with you all? I'm willing to pay double." He tried his best to show his goodwill in his tone.

But in his heart, he was thinking that as long as he escaped today, he would kill that man.

Jin Haoyu said impatiently, "I already said first come, first served. Why are you asking so many questions? You're so long-winded. If you're going to fight, hurry up."

Kong Bai chimed in, "Noisy."

Seeing that the two sides had finished talking, Chi Yi stepped forward with her sword, pointed at them, and said, "You've stalled for time enough, haven't you?"

Yan Wu and Shu Fu were taken aback. She had just revealed their purpose. They were originally enemies, and all she was saying was to recover from her injuries and increase her strength.

Yan Wu stared at her: "Since you know..."

Chi Yi knew what he was going to say, so she interrupted him and explained, "Because we're also stalling for time!"

"You..." Before Yan Wu could finish speaking, another formation appeared around them.

They stared wide-eyed in deep regret, realizing that their overconfidence had caused them to stumble twice in the same place.

This formation is different from the trapping formation we just saw. With that formation, as long as you don't touch the false core, you'll be trapped.

Once the formation was complete, it entered attack mode. The two of them had no choice but to keep dodging the rain of arrows formed from spiritual energy from all directions.

Hua Rongyi smiled and said, "This is a formation I prepared especially for you, so don't let me down!"

Jin Haoyu leaned closer to Hua Rongyi and asked, "Is this the formation from Xicun?"

Hua Rongyi nodded: "Yes, I made some changes to it. I wonder how it turned out?"

Jin Haoyu gave him a thumbs up: "You're amazing! You learned it in just two days."

Let's go back to two days ago.

The morning after Wang Cang asked Hua Rongyi and his seven companions to rescue Xicun, they arrived at Wang Cang's house.

When they arrived at his house, they learned that his father, Wang Xin, was the village head of Xicun Village, and that asking for their help was something the whole family had discussed beforehand.

Ling Lili recognized this family as the one she had mentioned that could cultivate.

Wang Cang also has a younger brother, Wang Wei, who is the young man Ling Lili saw on the roof last time.

When everything is connected, it makes sense.

Knowing their purpose, Wang Xin, after exchanging pleasantries and thanks upon first meeting, led them directly to their family's ancestral hall.

Jin Haoyu asked, puzzled, "Village Chief, we want to see the formation diagram. Why did you bring us to your ancestral hall?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Wang Xinzhong's honest face: "Young friends, don't be impatient, you'll find out once you come with me."

The group followed them inside out of curiosity. Inside the ancestral hall were many memorial tablets, presumably belonging to their ancestors.

"Please wait a moment, everyone." After saying that, Wang Xin took three incense sticks and lit them.

Then they saw Wang Xin take the incense and bow, put the incense in the incense burner, walk to the place where the memorial tablets were placed, and take out three memorial tablets from the middle.

In front of several people, he put the three memorial tablets together, and a flash of light appeared, revealing a formation diagram in front of them.

Seven faces in shock: (*???)!!

Holy crap, who uses ancestral tablets to display formation diagrams?!

Who would have thought of this? You couldn't even find it to steal.

No wonder Wang Cang said yesterday that it was inconvenient to bring it; it really is inconvenient!

After the initial shock, it's time to get down to business.

Hua Rongyi spoke up, "Village chief, I think you can gather all the villagers to leave West Village. The villagers are all ordinary people, and if a fight breaks out, innocent people will inevitably be hurt."

Wang Xin replied, "That's what I've been thinking about too, but I don't know what reason to use. Do you have any good ideas, young friend?"

Chi Yi spoke up: "Village chief, naturally we should selectively tell the truth. No matter what the reason, some people will not leave. But if it endangers their own lives and those of their families, then it is not something they can decide. What do you say, village chief?"

Wang Xin pondered for a moment and realized that Chi Yi was right; selective speaking would leave a lot of room for maneuver.

"Young friend Chi's method is excellent!" Wang Xin agreed.

Then he asked, "But where will these villagers be resettled?"

Hua Rongyi spoke up: "Qingfeng Village."

Wang Xin asked in bewilderment, "Qingfeng Village is a bandit's den, how could they possibly agree to this?"

Jin Haoyu said smugly, "Don't worry, village chief, we'll take care of it."

"Alright, thank you all, young friends. I'll go and gather the villagers to discuss this matter," Wang Xin said solemnly.

The group nodded, indicating that they understood.

After Wang Xin left, the group continued to discuss their plan to deal with the unknown enemy.

It must be said that Wang Xin, the village chief, has a great ability to rally people. The matter was settled that morning, giving the villagers a noon to pack their belongings so they could set off in the afternoon.

The villagers learned that a terrifying and powerful evil cultivator would come to destroy their homes. Although they were afraid and uneasy, they were somewhat relieved when the village chief said that he had asked a celestial being for help. Based on their trust in the village chief and the fact that they were just in case, they packed their belongings and prepared to leave.

The village chief has even arranged a place for them to settle down; they're just waiting for this matter to pass before they can go home again.

The seven split up, with Hua Rongyi studying the formation diagram.

Kong Bai went to the stone tablet at the entrance of Xicun Village to control the spread of evil energy and prevent it from corroding the formation.

Jin Haoyu made arrangements in advance before going to Qingfeng Village.

Chi Yi, Ling Lili, Yun Fan, and Bai Zhu escorted all the villagers to Qingfeng Village.

The procession of several hundred people took a day and a half to reach its destination.

Only after all the villagers were settled, leaving Bai Shu and Han Xiaobao to protect them, did Chi Yi, Ling Lili, and Yun Fan return to West Village.

It was already past midnight when they returned to the village chief Wang Xin's house.

Upon seeing their return, Hua Rongyi immediately convened a meeting of the six, explaining his arrangements and plans in detail to them.
