After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"These formations are quite intricate; they must have been crafted by a master..."

After digging out the array symbols that the group had buried from the ground, Qin Chuan muttered to himself.

With his current mastery of formations, he could naturally tell that this was a large formation composed of countless smaller formations.

Once activated, the small array beneath your feet will also be triggered.

Compared to the defensive formation on his body, this formation was several times larger.

"It seems the Huang family has really gone all out..." Qin Chuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

As he spoke, he rearranged several array symbols at his feet, rendering them ineffective.

This small formation is not part of the large formation, so even if it is destroyed, it will not cause any disturbance.

Once the main formation is activated, the smaller formations here will lose some of their effectiveness.

It can be said that after this change, the formation can operate on its own, but some parts will be greatly affected.

After doing all this, Qin Chuan looked into the depths of the valley and continued to sneak in.

……

In a cave deep in the valley, Huang Yan was kneeling behind a middle-aged man, while Old Shi stood to the side.

After a long while, the middle-aged man slowly turned around, revealing a face full of anger.

He was none other than Huang Haitian, the head of the Huang family.

"What a bunch of useless fools! They've caused such a commotion over a mere Silver Moon Fox!"

"And do you know how much damage those 400,000 spirit crystals and your storage ring have caused to our Huang family?"

Huang Haitian grew angrier as he spoke, and slapped Huang Yan across the face.

With a loud slap, Huang Yan's face instantly swelled up, and a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for Elder Shi intervening, Huang Haitian would have loved to kill this unfilial son with a single blow.

"If you had let me bring more people, how could I have been beaten up like this by that kid?" Huang Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and knelt back in the same spot.

He had recovered by now, no longer panicked, but he clenched his fists tightly.

"What, you're still not convinced?"

Huang Haitian's face was gloomy, and he said disdainfully, "If you hadn't coveted other people's treasures, how could the Huang family have suffered so many losses, and even almost lost your own lives?"

Huang Yan raised his head, unconvinced, and said, "He definitely has a great treasure on him. If I can obtain this treasure, I can definitely lead my family to rise again!"

"You think you can lead your family to rise to prominence?" Huang Haitian was so angry he laughed, looking at Huang Haitian with a disappointed expression.

It was all because of Huang Yan's impulsiveness that his plans were completely disrupted.

The plan to surround and kill the Thunderous Beast was originally foolproof, but now many unexpected things have happened.

"Patriarch, the young master acted on impulse, wanting to make some contributions to the Huang family. It's just that that person was too cunning!"

Old Shi, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over.

Huang Haitian said irritably, "We should be grateful if he doesn't cause trouble, let alone contribute to the family!"

Despite saying that, his anger subsided considerably, after all, he was his own son.

Seemingly realizing something, Huang Haitian's face darkened, and he asked, "Since that's the case, let's go all the way!"

Send more people out to locate this person and then eliminate them completely. Don't let anyone else ruin our plans!

"No need, patriarch."

Old Shi stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "The precious elixir I gave him was the Thunderbolt Pearl."

"Thunderbolt Pearl!"

Huang Haitian was taken aback and quickly asked, "Is it the Thunderbolt Pearl from the Star-Picking Tower?"

"Exactly!"

Old Shi smiled and said, "This person must have been hiding somewhere and then used this Thunderbolt Pearl. He should be blown to bits by now."

"That's good!"

Huang Haitian nodded in satisfaction, finally hearing some good news.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Elder Shi, "Give the order that the encirclement and killing of the Thunderous Beast is of paramount importance!"

But besides that, you also need to pay close attention to your surroundings to avoid doing all the work for someone else.

"Yes!" Old Shi bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out of the cave.

……

"Something's wrong... something's up!"

At this moment, Qin Chuan, who was hiding deep in the valley, frowned and suddenly realized that something was wrong with his surroundings.

The once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, with countless dark clouds hanging low, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Empress Yaoxi said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know much about this mystical beast, it seems to be about to advance!"

That must be the reason why all the lightning-attribute profound energy in the valley was mobilized, creating this strange phenomenon.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded, and lightning flickered faintly in all directions he could see.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Chuan asked in confusion, "Then why is this Thunder Beast in this valley?"

Wouldn't it be better to leave this place and find a safe place to undergo the tribulation before facing the lightning tribulation?

Empress Yaoxi said calmly, "Do you see that thing up ahead?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was taken aback and looked towards the front.

In the clearing above the valley ahead, there was a giant ball of electricity, radiating a dazzling light.

Qin Chuan hesitated and asked, "Senior, do you mean this electric ball belongs to the Thunder Beast?"

"Not bad!"

Empress Yaoxi nodded and praised, "This place should be where the Thunder Beast chose to undergo its tribulation, and that electric ball should be what it created."

This thing might be the key to its resistance to the lightning tribulation, and perhaps that's why it hasn't left this place.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "And without sufficient time to prepare, leaving this place will also mean death!"

It turned out to be the case.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded, finally understanding why the Thunder Beast hadn't left the valley.

"Someone's coming!" Empress Yaoxi suddenly warned.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan quickly lowered his body, pressed himself against the stone wall, and hid himself in the bushes.

In sight, a group of people were stealthily approaching the depths of the valley.

"Things are getting interesting..."

Looking at this group of people, Qin Chuan's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes shone with excitement.

Judging from their clothes and behavior, these people are clearly not from the Huang family.

He had met the Du family members before, and he had also encountered the Li family members at Wanbaoge.

So this group of people is very likely from the Ye family.

The murky the water, the easier it is to catch fish, so Qin Chuan naturally had no worries.

The more people there are, the better, so he can take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits.

"Patriarch Ye! There seems to be a loophole in the formation here. If we pass through here, it won't trigger any other formations to react."

After investigating, one of his men clasped his hands in a fist salute to a middle-aged man.

"Oh? Is there such a good thing?"

The middle-aged man looked surprised, then sneered, "It seems that Huang Haitian has really wasted his life, since such a big mistake has occurred!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at everyone, "Perfect, let's all sneak in and find a place to hide."

"Once the Thunder Beast begins its tribulation, we'll all strike and reap the benefits!"

After saying that, he beckoned everyone to come inside.

As the group entered the valley with ease, Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

If he hadn't destroyed the formation there beforehand, these people wouldn't have had it so easy.

But this is also good, because it minimizes the risk of him taking action when the situation is most chaotic.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan looked into the distance and began to wait patiently.
