Chapter 1171: Facing Bai Xinlan

Everything happened in an instant; Bai Xinlan did not act directly, nor did she kill Lan Tiansheng, but left him be, after all Lan Tiansheng was easy to kill—just a casual move would do—but the one behind him is not to be provoked.

If she really killed him, it would draw out that person behind him; Bai Xinlan has no confidence dealing with the Void Oblivion behind him, so for now she pretends not to notice Lan Tiansheng's existence, waiting until her strength fully recovers before slowly dealing with Lan Tiansheng.

Actually, keeping him alive is more beneficial—it lets Lan Tiansheng send back more information, such as the news she needs to confuse the Void Oblivion, and also Lan Tiansheng is not wholly sincere toward the Void Oblivion; this person also has his own ambitions.

Working for the Void Oblivion is only temporary; once Lan Tiansheng's strength increases, he will naturally replace him, and those under the Void Oblivion all have high ambitions—they will never be wholly loyal to the Void Oblivion.

On this point, Bai Xinlan can say with certainty: the Void Oblivion differs from her; it does not trust its subordinates completely, nor does it give them many benefits—if they slip up even slightly, it will exterminate them.

Capable subordinates naturally earn the Void Oblivion's favor, but if one day you lose your usefulness, it will be the first to discard you—Lan Tiansheng is no different; they merely use each other, not truly favoring him, and they do not want him to rise too quickly, otherwise the Void Oblivion could not control him.

Bai Xinlan's side is different—those around her are her own clansmen, and she is very willing to sacrifice for them; she has always sheltered her clan, allowing the Luotian White Snake Clan to rise and grow, willing to nurture her own people; in their hearts, she as clan chief is unique and irreplaceable.

Upon entering the formation, Bai Xinlan raised her head and gazed at the unfamiliar surroundings; mist blocked everything, her demonic power was devoured, and her spiritual sense rapidly dwindled. Bai Xinlan exclaimed, "This formation is not right—it can devour my demonic power and spiritual sense, and it keeps blurring my vision and sense of direction."

After walking a circuit, she remained in place, wanting to examine the formation's base and then break it, but discovered she could not break this formation.

Unable to see through the formation, Bai Xinlan refused to give up and continued observing; half a day later, she frowned tightly: "How strange—why is this formation so odd? It's extremely complex, impossible to see through or solve."

"No wonder Bai Meng said this formation is strange and cannot be broken."

She underestimated the formation's difficulty and overestimated her own strength; Bai Xinlan continued observing for half a day, yet still saw nothing.

Around her, nothing changed; the mist still blocked her. She knew the people inside the formation were aware of her arrival, yet they did not show themselves, instead wanting her to experience the formation and, incidentally, test its strength.

One must admit, Bai Xinlan is very clever; she instantly guessed Qinglong Daoist's intention.

Qinglong Daoist indeed thought so, arms crossed, watching her inside the formation, observing her every move.

Elder Xinran was the same; she watched Bai Xinlan like a headless fly, unable to find an exit or solve the formation.

"Even a Dao Realm powerhouse cannot break your formation; it seems you were not lying at first."

Elder Xinran praised, saying that in one day Bai Xinlan showed no sign of breaking the formation—not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't solve it.

Unable to solve it, Bai Xinlan's strength is formidable; although she has only recovered seventy percent of her power, she remains terrifying.

Even such a powerhouse cannot solve the formation, showing how strong Qinglong Daoist's formation is—back then he was not boasting, but speaking the truth.

This formation can resist the presence of Dao Realm beings; even if a Dao Realm Demon King came, it could do nothing to them.

"You know now, right? I never lie; I said this formation can trap Dao Realm beings—I would certainly not deceive you."

"The clan chief of the Luotian White Snake Clan is not weak, yet as a Dao Realm existence, she has been trapped for a day."

"According to my calculation, for at least the next month she will be unable to solve this formation, and thus unable to leave."

Elder Xinran turned and asked, "You won't really trap her for a month, will you?"

Such a powerhouse coming in person obviously is not here to cause trouble.

But to cooperate.

After Bai Meng Holy Maiden returned and reported the situation here, Bai Xinlan would then come in person.

It is obvious that Bai Xinlan has not yet recovered, yet she still came—this shows she greatly values Qinglong Daoist; to express her sincerity, she personally visited, and her sincerity is beyond doubt.

"No, she's not an enemy, and she's not here to cause trouble—I naturally wouldn't do that." Qinglong Daoist laughed, saying, "I know you want to test how formidable this formation is, to see if there's any room for improvement."

"When it comes to guests, I certainly wouldn't do that."

Elder Xinran nodded, knowing Qinglong Daoist wouldn't really do that; otherwise, offending Bai Xinlan badly could ruin this deal.

The next day.

Bai Xinlan remained inside the formation, unable to exit, so she simply sat still, not going anywhere, not wanting to be attacked by the formation.

On the third day, Qinglong Daoist opened the formation, creating a passage; Bai Xinlan rose and went through it, arriving before Qinglong Daoist. Upon entering Longshe Shan, she looked around—this area she naturally knew, having been here once before, but compared to before, it had changed greatly.

The spiritual energy was abundant—at least tenfold—and that formation had the effect of gathering spirit, collecting ambient spiritual energy to provide for their cultivation.

This is without spiritual veins; if these peaks had spiritual veins, the spiritual energy density would be even richer, gradually becoming a blessed cave paradise, and with a little cultivation it would soon catch up to their current territory.

You should know, the place she occupies is the spot with the densest spiritual energy in the territory controlled by the Luotian White Snake Clan; after many years of accumulation and cultivation, it has reached its present scale, and for Longshe Shan to catch up is truly heaven-defying.

Such places are rare even within the entire Mangshan Mountain Range.

Raising her head, she met Qinglong Daoist's gaze; in an instant Bai Xinlan gauged his approximate cultivation level.

Sixth Heaven of True Monarch—this is only the surface cultivation; his true strength is certainly greater.

His strength far surpasses his cultivation; he hides a mysterious veil, and Bai Xinlan dare not underestimate him—even though her own cultivation far exceeds Qinglong Daoist's, this person before her feels extremely dangerous, not just ordinary danger.

It is the bloodline pressure, that kind of danger, that makes Bai Xinlan dare not underestimate him.

Qinglong Daoist also sized up Bai Xinlan before him—Seek Dao Realm Third Heaven, her strength only seventy percent, likely just having completed her skin-shedding, her bloodline considerably enhanced, not inferior to his bloodline intensity; her aura is immensely terrifying, standing before him, it gives him a faint sense of suppression.
