Chapter 769: Chapter 767: Formation

"No matter what, forcing a woman to avoid men for her entire life and die alone is extremely cruel. And since this matter is somewhat related to me, I must get involved!"

Xiao Yifeng said with a heavy tone.

"Alas, although your strength is not weak, I fear you won’t even be able to enter the gates of the Bailan Sect, let alone see Shu Qian to take her away. This is simply the delusion of a madman!"

Mo Sihai shook his head.

"You don’t need to worry about that. Just contact someone from the Bailan Sect immediately and have them find a way to get here. I’ll handle the rest, and I assure you that nothing will happen to the Mo Family."

Xiao Yifeng promised.

Mo Sihai gave Xiao Yifeng a few glances and eventually contacted someone from the Bailan Sect.

As night was about to fall, a man dressed in a black robe with a golden mask appeared—it was someone from the Bailan Sect.

"What business do you have with me?"

The man asked Mo Sihai in a stern voice.

"It’s not him looking for you, it’s me!"

Xiao Yifeng stepped out and glanced at the other party.

"Who are you?"

The man stared intently at Xiao Yifeng.

"I need you to take me to the Bailan Sect!"

Xiao Yifeng stated directly.

"You want to go to the Bailan Sect? Hmph, who do you think you are?"

The man spat out disdainfully.

"Since you’re unwilling to lead, I’ll just have to make you give me the address of the Bailan Sect, and I’ll go on my own."

After speaking, Xiao Yifeng directly exhibited his Soul-Capturing Eyes, and purple halos shimmered in his eyes.

Immediately, the man, who was only at the initial stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, found his mind controlled. His expression turned utterly dull, and he obediently revealed the Bailan Sect’s location.

Seeing this scene, both Mo Sihai and Mo Shumei were completely shocked.

Hisss!

After getting the information he wanted, Xiao Yifeng flicked his finger, and a strand of Crimson Earthfire burst forth, landing on the man’s body. The man didn’t even have the chance to scream before he was reduced to ash.

Mo Sihai and Mo Shumei’s complexions were struck with fear once again, their eyes filled with a frightened look.

"Alright, leave the rest to me."

Xiao Yifeng said, then left the place.

"Shumei, do you think he can really stand against the Bailan Sect?"

Mo Sihai said with a grave expression.

"I don’t know, but I believe he can."

Shine emanated from Mo Shumei’s eyes.

"You must have had something to do with him, right?"

Mo Sihai suddenly said, causing Mo Shumei’s face to turn red.

Returning to Haitang Garden, Xiao Yifeng told Ye Yaxin that he would need to leave for a trip the next day, to which she did not respond much.

Back in his room, Xiao Yifeng continued his cultivation; he needed to master the Sky-breaking Trio and Star Seal in the shortest possible time.

He didn’t aim to master them all at once but, at the very least, he had to be able to execute the first move, so his combat power could be enhanced.

The next day, Xiao Yifeng took a plane to an unfamiliar city, where the Bailan Sect was hidden in a deep mountain nearby.

These martial arts world sect forces were generally concealed in remote mountains and forests—first, because such places were abundant with spiritual energy, and second, because they were far from the secular world, thus avoiding interference with each other.

In this city, he rented a car and hurried to the deep mountain where the Bailan Sect was located.

Arriving at the outskirts of the mountain, Xiao Yifeng activated his penetrative vision, wanting to scout out the Bailan Sect, only to feel an invisible force obstructing his penetrative vision after piercing less than a thousand meters.

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flickered, he withdrew his penetrative vision, and entered deep into the mountain.

Walking into the mountains, Xiao Yifeng began searching for the concealed location of the Bailan Sect. Although his penetrative vision was hindered by the invisible force here, it was still usable, which helped him to reduce the search time somewhat.

Time slowly passed, and without realizing it, Xiao Yifeng had entered into an area of stone forest, filled with oddly shaped rocks. He didn’t pay attention to these and kept moving forward.

"Huh? That’s not right, how did I end up back here?"

After walking for half an hour, Xiao Yifeng scanned the area and found that he was still in the stone forest and had not walked out of it.

"Could it be that I’ve fallen into a maze?"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes sparkled as he speculated. This time he made a mark, only to find half an hour later that he was still seeing this mark, clearly indicating he had not walked out.

Then Xiao Yifeng walked another round, this time deploying his penetrative vision and observing the situation in the stone forest to the best of his ability. Eventually, he discovered that objects in the stone forest were constantly changing.

"Seems like I’ve encountered a formation?"

A glint flashed through Xiao Yifeng’s eyes.

He had heard his master talk about formations.

Formations were existences made of spirit stones and some other auxiliary tools along with formation incantations. There were many types of formations—offensive arrays, defensive arrays, maze arrays, illusion arrays, and others—each complex and mysterious.

These formations had strong functions, being able to enhance one’s combat power and entrap enemies. The Tiangang Formation that Li Qingfeng of the Asura Gate had mentioned was evidently one such formation.

However, these formations were difficult to cultivate, and in today’s world, people who understood formations were even rarer than alchemists; Xiao Yifeng had merely heard his master explain a few things and did not understand formations well.

And now, Xiao Yifeng had indeed encountered a stone-based maze array and was trapped in it, unable to get out. Such an array appearing in this mountain was clearly laid by the Bailan Sect, intended to prevent outsiders from reaching them.

"Ice-Fire Pupils Technique!"

Having realized this, Xiao Yifeng began to break the formation, using the Ice-Fire Pupils Technique. A red and a blue beam of light burst forth, immediately smashing a rock into pieces.

Currently, Xiao Yifeng had no other way but to forcefully break the formation, but fortunately, he had his penetrative vision to discern the formation’s patterns. Of course, if his penetrative vision were a bit stronger, he would be able to break it directly.

Boom boom boom!

The Ice-Fire Pupils Technique continued to blast out, shattering the rocks one by one. Xiao Yifeng fully activated his penetrative vision; although hindered by the formation and unable to see too much, it still provided him some assistance.

"Who are you?"

Just as Xiao Yifeng was forcefully breaking the formation, two men clad in black cloaks appeared before him, clearly members of the Bailan Sect.

"I was just worrying about finding someone to show the way!"

A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yifeng’s lips as his eyes rapidly filled with a bloody hue, a vortex of blood appearing, shooting out two beams of blood light in an instant, directly entering the eyes of one of them.

Soul Devouring—Spirit Control!

Xiao Yifeng murmured softly as the bloody vortex in his eyes spun, emitting a soul-capturing aura. Instantly, the mind and soul of this Bailan Sect disciple were controlled by Xiao Yifeng.
