Chapter 265: Killing Formation

"We..." He started but suddenly stopped.

Simultaneously, he turned to the right and quickly stood up.

"Guan Ying." He shouted.

However, before Tan Cheng could stop her, Guan Ying threw a formation disk, intending to trap Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, Yang Shi, Feng Xue, and Li Wenqiang in a killing formation.

Unfortunately, she underestimated the group!

Before the formation disk reached the five, Zhen Yuan raised his law scripting brush and drew a rune in the air.

Less than a breath later, the rune exuded a silver light and Guan Ying’s formation disk bounced back towards her.

"Get out of the way." Someone shouted and a flurry of movement ensued.

However, they thought well but reality was unkind.

Although the others avoided the formation disk, Guan Ying couldn’t escape and was drawn into the killing formation disk.

"Break it." Tan Cheng shouted.

At the same time, he raised his sword and attacked the formation disk.

Similarly, the others unleashed numerous attacks, hoping to save Guan Ying.

"Why isn’t it breaking?" One of the cultivators asked with a perplexed expression.

"It’s only a peak level five killing formation. Why can’t we break it?" Another was also surprised.

"Formation master Zhen..." Tan Cheng started with a complicated expression.

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t give him a chance to beg for mercy.

"She is the cause; we are the effect." He stated.

"Guan Ying is the Guan family’s daughter." Tan Cheng stated in a meaningful voice but Zhen Yuan didn’t budge.

He had long disliked Guan Ying.

Most importantly, even if they didn’t kill Guan Ying, the Guan family would never let them go.

In that case, since they were destined to be enemies with the Guan family, there was no reason to be kind to their enemy.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave." Shen Xu said, looking at the seven people from the Formation Tower City.

"Alchemist Shen..." Tan Cheng started but Shen Xu shook his head.

Simultaneously, he waved his hand and several pre-arranged formations activated.

A moment later, Tan Cheng and the rest were pushed out of the store and barred from entering.

Seeing this, Shen Xu sighed and turned to Zhen Yuan.

"We should leave this place." He said.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan agreed.

Soon after, Yang Shi, Feng Xue, and Li Wenqiang entered the space, leaving Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.

"Ayuan, what did you do to the killing formation disk?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the undamaged disk.

"I protected it with soul power."

"Soul power? Are you okay? Are you injured?" The double asked in an anxious voice.

"Don’t worry." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his lover’s hair to soothe his emotions.

"My soul cultivation is at the peak of level seven. Tan Cheng and the others can’t hurt me even if they attacked my soul power for a year."

"You still have to be careful." Shen Xu warned and Zhen Yuan nodded in understanding.

It was normal for cultivators to get hurt while defending themselves or fighting for resources.

However, Shen Xu always worried because Zhen Yuan’s body was resistant to ordinary treatments.

That said, he understood that he couldn’t let his fear get in the way of Zhen Yuan’s development.

After all, danger and injuries were learning opportunities for every cultivator.

’It’s too bad we haven’t encountered a healing-type natural treasure.’ He thought but soon shook his head to clear his mind.

"Ayuan, I will shrink the portable shop. Remember to activate a teleportation talisman as soon as I collect the structure."

"Good." Zhen Yuan said.

Soon after, Shen Xu collected the shop and Zhen Yuan activated a teleportation talisman.

Barely a breath later, the two disappeared from the area and reappeared more than one thousand kilometres away.

After three teleportations, the two found a remote area and entered the space.

"Have we gotten away?" Yang Shi asked and Shen Xu nodded before speaking.

"We are in the clear." He said.

After that, the group went to the peach garden and sat around the stone table.

"Ayuan, how is Guan Ying?" Shen Xu asked.

"Dead." Zhen Yuan answered.

At the same time, he withdrew his soul power and the formation disk fell apart, revealing Guan Ying’s battered body.

"I don’t know if she has any good things." Shen Xu said while collecting the space treasures.

After collecting all, he burned Guan Ying’s body and began opening the storage artefacts.

"Lots of formation materials, monster parts, weapons, spirit grasses..." The double counted while removing things from the space rings.

"Although she didn’t have anything special, she had a lot of things." Feng Xue observed.

"Three billion spirit stones is not bad." Li Wenqiang said and the others nodded.

After dealing with Guan Ying’s things, Yang Shi turned to Shen Xu.

"Master, what did you get at the bottom of the chasm?" He asked.

Hearing the question, Shen Xu smiled and his eyes brightened.

"It’s a good thing." He said and quickly continued.

"We got a rootless colourful water lily."

"Rootless colourful water lily?" Feng Xue exclaimed in a shocked voice.

"Indeed." Shen Xu confirmed.

"Master, what’s a rootless colourful water lily?" Li Wenqiang asked.

"It’s an extremely precious natural treasure." The double said and began explaining.

"One, refining one petal can allow a cultivator to advance one major realm. However, only the first petal has this effect. Subsequent petals have no effect on the cultivation level."

"It’s really a good thing." Li Wenqiang couldn’t help but be excited.

"With this thing, master can advance to the void refining realm."

"It’s not just me. All of us can advance." Shen Xu said, looking at the group.

However, Li Wenqiang sighed in resignation before speaking.

"Master, I am a soul body. Qi treasures have no effect on my cultivation." He said but Shen Xu shook his head.

"That’s the beauty of the rootless colourful water lily. It affects the main cultivation."

"You mean..." Li Wenqiang started and Shen Xu nodded.

"The rootless colourful water lily is useful to qi, body, and soul cultivators. However, improving cultivation is only it’s most basic benefit."
