Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Minor Demon Trapping Array

Madam Linghu had already guessed by this time that the person fleeing ahead must be Fang Bai, whom she had previously ordered to be closely monitored.

Since receiving the message from her subordinates that Fang Bai was possibly a high-tier Pill Master, Madam Linghu had added him to her list of must-have assets and was determined not to let him leave Misty Island.

However, how Fang Bai managed to escape her subordinates’ surveillance and stealthily reach the peak of Immortal Mist Peak, disrupting her and Wu Rongshan’s plans, puzzled Madam Linghu. Still, she did not ponder too deeply, attributing it to her subordinates’ negligence, which gave Fang Bai a chance to exploit.

Now, after briefly encountering Fang Bai, Madam Linghu gained a deeper understanding of him, her heart filled with even more surprise.

This Fang Bai was not merely a Martial Artist at Vast Level Perfection as her subordinates had described. Judging by the speed of his movement technique and the pure Essence Energy emanating from him, even ordinary Cosmic Level Experts were not his match.

For a moment, Madam Linghu could not fathom the true extent of Fang Bai’s power and guessed that he must have concealed his strength.

Possessing an Innate Spiritual Root, possibly a high-tier Pill Master, knowledgeable in Beast Taming Techniques, able to hide his own strength, and at the prime age of vigorous youth...

For Madam Linghu, Fang Bai was not only her ideal dual cultivation partner but also someone whose numerous secrets were worth exploring.

Madam Linghu’s eyes gleamed, feeling as if she had stumbled upon a treasure. She was eager to capture Fang Bai immediately, extract all his secrets, and then bring him back to the grand hall at the peak of Immortal Mist Peak for dual cultivation. By leveraging his uniquely pure Essence Energy of Innate Spiritual Root, she aimed to enhance her own strength, laying a solid foundation for her future assault on the Innate Realm.

As for the two Thunderclap Black Apes that had lost control and entered a frenzied state, Madam Linghu didn’t take them to heart. Although killing them meant losing significant supports, acquiring Fang Bai would sufficiently compensate for this loss.

Madam Linghu’s eyes shone with a cold light, her expression stern. Facing the charging Thunderclap Black Apes, she did not dodge or evade; instead, she twisted her waist and met them head-on, her speed even faster than the apes’.

On one side was her delicate, seemingly boneless small body, and on the other, the robust huge bodies of the apes. Any Martial Artist without keen insight would think Madam Linghu was foolishly obstructing a vehicle with a mantis arm, striking a stone with an egg.

They were unaware that within Madam Linghu’s small body was a power resembling a long-brewing, soon-to-erupt volcano from the depths of the earth, harboring a terrifying strength several times stronger than the two Thunderclap Black Apes combined.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Amid two dull thuds, Essence Energy explosively spread out, sending the two giant-bodied Thunderclap Black Apes flying backward in the air, falling over ten meters away and crashing onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble and dust to fly up.

The two Thunderclap Black Apes, with broken bones and muscles, let out agonized roars. Just as they struggled to stand, they saw Madam Linghu’s figure rapidly approaching from afar, appearing ghost-like in front of them, her delicate jade hands imprinting on their abdomens.

The force of this strike was even more ferocious than the previous impact, sending the two Thunderclap Black Apes tumbling out once again.

Although the Thunderclap Black Apes were extremely tenacious in life, under Madam Linghu’s lightning-fast and thunderous attacks, they eventually collapsed to the ground within a few breaths and lay lifeless.

"What a cunning lad!"

After killing the two Thunderclap Black Apes and looking back at Fang Bai, Madam Linghu saw that his figure had already disappeared into the forest ahead. Only then did she realize that Fang Bai had merely used the two Thunderclap Black Apes to block her, buying time for his escape.

"Do you think you can escape like this? Naive!"

Madam Linghu’s lips twitched slightly as she sneered.

Madam Linghu thought that even if Fang Bai could temporarily escape from her sight, the entire Misty Island was surrounded by an endless ocean. The ship Fang Bai was on was heavily monitored by her subordinates, making it impossible for him to escape.

With this thought, Madam Linghu was no longer in a hurry and looked at the forest ahead with a mocking gaze, moving leisurely towards it.

"Misty Island is only so big, where can you hide? Surrender obediently and enjoy the bliss, otherwise, I will make you suffer and wish for death!"

Before Madam Linghu reached the forest, she sensed that Fang Bai’s Essence Energy was still inside. It was somewhat unexpected; she did not think that Fang Bai would stop escaping.

Fang Bai, who was in the forest, remained silent. Instead, the Essence Energy in a certain part of the forest rapidly intensified, as if a large amount of Cultivation Resources had suddenly appeared.

Madam Linghu was secretly puzzled, thinking that after staying on Misty Island for decades and entering this forest countless times, she had never sensed such dense Essence Energy. Where could this suddenly appearing Essence Energy be coming from?

"It must be the Cultivation Resources carried by the lad. Perhaps knowing he cannot escape, he wants to offer up his Cultivation Resources to plead for mercy?"

The more Madam Linghu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, a smug smile appearing on her face.

She originally thought that Fang Bai would come out on his own and submit, but as she waited left and right, no one appeared. However, Fang Bai’s Essence Energy was continuously present in the forest, and the surrounding Essence Energy became increasingly denser.

"Old witch, do you dare to fight me in the forest?"

Just as Madam Linghu was about to lose her patience, Fang Bai’s voice suddenly came from inside the forest.

Although Madam Linghu possessed a high Cultivation Level and maintained her youthful appearance, she was actually over a hundred years old. The thing she detested most was being called "old" to her face.

The words "old witch" from Fang Bai were like a steel needle harshly stabbing into Madam Linghu’s heart, making her furiously enraged.

"Fine, since you wish to die, I will fulfill your wish!"

Madam Linghu’s eyes emitted a cold gleam, her Killing Qi soared, and light green Wood Element Qi intertwined around her, her hands crossed, she dashed into the forest ahead.

Upon entering the forest, Madam Linghu immediately sensed something was wrong.

Initially, her vision was filled with thick tree trunks, but in the blink of an eye, those trees seemed to turn into robust and tall Martial Artists, each wielding a Spiritual Artifact, their Killing Qi surging.

"What Formation is this?"

Madam Linghu herself was an Array Master, a high-grade one at that. Seeing the sudden transformation of the surroundings, she knew she had fallen into a peculiar Formation.

Always proud, Madam Linghu thought she was the top Array Master in the True Martial Realm, confident that no Formation could trap her. However, she unexpectedly felt helpless in the Formation hastily laid out by Fang Bai around her.

"This is the Minor Demon Trapping Array. Although trapping you in this Formation isn’t easy, you won’t be able to break it for a couple of hours. I won’t entertain you any longer!"

Fang Bai’s voice gradually faded away, clearly moving further and further from Madam Linghu.

Only then did Madam Linghu realize that Fang Bai had been silently setting up a Formation in the forest earlier. The diffuse dense Essence Energy was the substantial amount of Essence Stones needed to set up the Formation.
