Chapter 1077: 985 Formation annihilates the enemy

More than a month later, Nine Stars Island.

A streak of red light appeared in the distant sky and stopped after a flicker.

As the escape light dissipated, a red flying boat flashing with crimson light appeared, carrying a plain-looking young man in red robes, a curvaceous woman in a blue dress, and Shen Chan.

The young man in red robes and the woman in the blue dress were Shen Long and Chu Buyu in disguise. Worried about being followed, they had taken detours and constantly changed their appearance to evade potential enemies.

"Let’s go! Let’s head in!"

Shen Long said.

Chu Buyu pinched a hand seal, and the Mysterious Fire Boat slowly flew toward Nine Stars Island, landing on the ground.

Ahead was a narrow mountain valley, densely packed with vegetation.

Shen Chan’s eyes emitted dazzling golden light. She nodded and said, "No problem."

Shen Long strode toward the valley, while Chu Buyu stowed away the Mysterious Fire Boat and followed along with Shen Chan.

An hour later, a blue flying boat appeared from afar and stopped after a flicker.

Standing atop the flying boat were three men and one woman, led by a burly man in a blue shirt whose aura indicated True Immortal Late Stage cultivation.

"Taoist Friend Xu, according to the Soul-Calming Disk, they’ve entered Nine Stars Island,"

said a curvaceous woman in a red dress, holding a golden glowing law disk in her hand.

The blue-shirted man’s sleeve quivered, and a streak of golden light flew out from his Spirit Beast Bracelet, transforming into a slender woman in a golden dress with a demonic aura, her cultivation at True Immortal Middle Stage.

The woman in the golden dress sniffed the air lightly, pointed toward the valley, and said, "They entered Nine Stars Island from here."

Her true form was a Medicine-Seeking Rat, possessing keen olfactory senses.

"Let’s go. We’ll follow them. Their possessions are valuable—they might even carry weapons of great destructive power. Don’t hold back when the time comes; kill them with all your might,"

the blue-shirted man said darkly, his face filled with killing intent.

They descended to the ground and headed toward the valley, disappearing into the vast mountains.

Seven days later, they arrived at a sprawling green bamboo forest, their faces filled with vigilance.

"Their speed is impressive. Along the way, they cleverly avoided many restrictions. It seems they have a special Immortal Artifact that can detect restrictions,"

the woman in the red dress analyzed.

"Divine Sense is greatly restricted here. Speed up the pace—let’s kill them!"

said the blue-shirted man.

The woman in the golden dress sniffed the air lightly, then took a step forward, leading the group deeper into the bamboo forest.

They had just entered the forest when the Soul-Calming Disk in the red-dressed woman’s hand emitted a piercing screech.

"This is bad! A True Immortal Realm creature is approaching us,"

she said with a frown.

Her words had barely left her mouth when dozens of beams of spiritual light burst from the ground, soaring toward the sky.

At the same time, ripples spread through the void above the blue-shirted man’s head, revealing a giant blue dragon claw that descended upon them.

The blue-shirted man reacted swiftly, channeling blue light into his right fist and punching the claw, shattering it with a thunderous explosion.

Massive green vines shot up from the ground, lunging toward them.

The red-dressed woman’s form was surrounded by a radiant crimson circle of light, which birthed waves of scarlet flames upon both the ground and the void, lighting up the sky.

Fire Law!

The green vines disintegrated into ash upon contact with the scarlet flames.

At the same time, dozens of beams of spiritual light condensed high in the air, forming a colossal five-colored barrier.

The barrier’s surface was covered in intricate runes, which writhed like living creatures, coalescing into thunderbolt patterns.

"This is bad—the Five-Thunder Immortal Extinguishing Formation!"

the blue-shirted man exclaimed in alarm. He promptly opened his mouth and spat out nine blue-glowing flying daggers, which merged into a single massive blue blade over ten feet long, hurtling toward the barrier.

The blue blade collided with the barrier, producing a muffled rumble. The barrier trembled slightly but remained unscathed.

Thunder roared as bolts of five-colored lightning shot down from the heavens, targeting them.

Booming thunder cascaded downward, with thick five-colored lightning pillars striking directly at the blue-shirted man’s group.

Standing in an open area, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Shen Chan watched the blue-shirted man’s group within the barrier with icy expressions.

Shen Fu, who was initially at Nascent Soul Early Stage, could sense Divine Soul fluctuations from creatures within a radius of two hundred thousand miles—unless the opponent could conceal their Divine Soul. The blue-shirted man’s group evidently lacked such capabilities.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had entered Nine Stars Island specifically to lure and eliminate them.

Shen Long acquired this Five-Thunder Immortal Extinguishing Formation during an underground auction for fifteen thousand Immortal Yuan Stones, a cost worthy of a decent Middle Grade Immortal Artifact.

With newfound financial freedom, Shen Long did not skimp on himself.

Originally purchased to protect their Sect, Shen Long decided to utilize the formation upon discovering they were being tailed, intending to use it to annihilate their pursuers.

Each of the three held a Five-Colored Formation Disk, its surface dotted with dozens of identical-sized grooves, each containing a Low Grade Immortal Yuan Stone.

Immortal Yuan Stones are ranked into Low, Middle, High, and Supreme Grades, with True Immortal Cultivators typically using Low Grade ones.

The three injected hand seals into the formation disks, causing torrents of five-colored lightning arcs to surge within the barrier, coalescing into a serpent-sized five-colored Thunder Flood Dragon. The Flood Dragon writhed and lunged toward the blue-shirted man’s group.

The group fought back desperately, launching attacks at the Thunder Flood Dragon.

Thick bolts of five-colored lightning descended from the sky, striking them directly. Simultaneously, five-colored thunder spears materialized, barraging the group mercilessly.

Deafening explosions reverberated throughout, and the blinding five-colored lightning engulfed the group’s silhouettes.

Less than half an hour later, four Nascent Souls and a miniaturized Medicine-Seeking Rat emerged from the lightning.

A beam of blue light descended from the heavens, enveloping the Nascent Souls and the mini rat before being swallowed into Shen Jiu’s mouth.

"Delicious! Master, the leader was Xu Hai. Having heard you and Madame planned to visit Nine Stars Island seeking treasures, he knew you were wealthy and plotted to assassinate you, relying on the Soul-Calming Disk to track your movements. This extraordinary treasure senses Divine Soul fluctuations within a radius of two hundred thousand miles, enabling them to kill many True Immortal Cultivators,"

Shen Jiu said calmly.

"Who told him about this?"

Shen Long frowned and asked.

"Liu Yang of Tianyue Sect. He has close ties with Liu Yuqian, although Liu Yang didn’t directly instruct them to target you,"

Shen Jiu replied.

"Hmph! By leaking this information to Xu Hai, their intentions are clear. They likely resent our alliance with Taoist Friend Ye,"

Chu Buyu said with a frown.

Shen Long retracted the formation. Within a radius of one hundred thousand miles, the land had become scorched earth, littered with over a dozen Low Grade Immortal Artifacts.

He made a beckoning gesture, summoning four multicolored Storage Bracelets and two Spirit Beast Bracelets, all Low Grade Immortal Artifacts.

Shen Long examined the contents of the Storage Bracelets, which contained fewer than ten thousand Immortal Yuan Stones and various Artifact Refinement and Alchemy materials.

"Such meager possessions—it’s no wonder they resorted to assassination,"

Shen Long commented.

"They spent heavily on Immortal Pills and were desperate for Immortal Yuan Stones, which led them to attack. But they underestimated you and Madame,"

said Shen Jiu.

"Loose Immortals like them tend to be impoverished. If the Profound Ghost Elder hadn’t robbed the Wei Family, he wouldn’t have been much better off either,"

Chu Buyu remarked.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Let’s leave this place first. We’ll return to the marketplace later."

They retraced their steps, leaving Nine Stars Island.

After exiting the island, Chu Buyu summoned the Mysterious Fire Boat, carrying them away.
