Chapter 203: Young Master

Black Lock Grand Formation is Chen Wang's independently created eighth-grade formation, known for strong control and simplicity.

Don't think it's just an eighth-grade formation; theoretically, the Black Lock Grand Formation can be infinitely stacked and can be used together with other formations.

Just like Hong Zun now, using six Black Lock Grand Formations at once, its control ability already rivals a ninth-grade formation.

But where the hell did this guy get six Black Lock Grand Formations?

Qing Shi was puzzled, and Zhang Tianzhen beside him also had a question mark: Who is Er Gou? Isn't this Black Lock Grand Formation Chen Wang Sect Master's signature skill?

Both being ninth-grade formation masters, Zhang Tianzhen and Chen Wang were naturally familiar; in his doubt, Zhang Tianzhen spoke up.

"Brother Qing Shi, this Er Gou is..............."

"Oh, it's just Chen Wang."

"What?"

"Formation Sect Sect Master? Ninth-grade formation master? Called Er Gou?"

Zhang Tianzhen looked at Qing Shi with a strange expression, "You're not joking, are you?"

However, Qing Shi obviously didn't care about these; his eyes kept fixed on Hong Zun, clearly wanting him to give an explanation.

In response, Hong Zun lightly said.

"Oh, I told him at the time that this journey was perilous, you might lose your life, so he gave me some defensive formations."

"You bastard, I'm the one whose life is in danger, so why did you take all the formations?"

"I originally thought I secretly made an extra Heaven Abyss Grand Formation, feeling a bit guilty, but now seeing this, why was my previous guilt even there?"

"This old drunkard is even more ruthless than me, using himself as a shield, fleecing my brother's wool? And............."

His eyes narrowed, Qing Shi rose into the air, approached Hong Zun, and asked word by word.

"How much is 'some'?"

"Just some, not much."

In response, Hong Zun's eyes darted; seeing his demeanor, Qing Shi instantly knew this old drunkard was lying.

"The two of them have been messing around since youth; when Hong Zun lifts his butt, Qing Shi knows what kind of fart he's letting out."

"Give me the Space Ring."

"No."

"Er Gou is my brother, and you're using my name; even if you don't give it, honestly, how many did you take?"

Under Qing Shi's questioning, Hong Zun finally spoke reluctantly.

"Not many, just twenty Black Lock Grand Formations, thirty Thousand Illusion Grand Formations, forty Five Thunder Formations, a hundred Flame Fire Formations."

Hearing this, Qing Shi's mouth twitched; you secretly took that many and still say 'just that'?

"The most infuriating part is that you took them, yet didn't tell me."

"Old drunkard, you've planted a landmine."

Qing Shi angrily cursed, and Hong Zun also felt a bit guilty, because there were still a hundred Hurricane Formations, two hundred Violent Flow Formations, and two hundred Withered Vine Formations he hadn't mentioned.

But feeling guilty couldn't be shown, so Hong Zun roared not to be outdone.

"Then what's the deal with your earlier Heaven Abyss Grand Formation?"

"I.......... this.........."

"Hah, nothing left to say."

"Have you had enough?"

As the two argued, Happy Buddha shouted to interrupt, "You really won't give me any face? I'm still here, I can fight!"

Upon hearing Happy Buddha's roar, the two seemed to finally realize, there's still someone tied up here.

They exchanged a glance, Qing Shi curled his lip and said.

"Let's settle the score later; I want fifty percent of these formations."

"None of your business, that's what I came for."

"That's what you came for using my name."

"Enough..........."

"Shut up."

Happy Buddha was about to shout again, but Qing Shi punched him in the face, then fiercely turned his head toward Hong Zun and said.

"I just want fifty percent."

"Okay, give you."

Hong Zun pretended to grit his teeth and nodded in agreement; fifty percent is fifty percent, after all, Qing Shi still doesn't know about the other half.

After finishing the formation talk, Qing Shi didn't linger, turned and left directly.

"Remember to give it to me."

"Got it."

Leaving Happy Buddha and Hong Zun behind, they were about to settle Happy Buddha's matter, but Hong Zun stared and immediately roared with eyes about to burst.

"Punk, where's the Space Ring?"

Saying that, he turned to look for Qing Shi's trace, but there was no sign of that old guy; he had already darted into the formation.

Meanwhile, Happy Buddha's hands were bare, nothing at all.

Not only Hong Zun, but Happy Buddha was also stunned, feeling nothing, yet the Space Ring was gone.

Looking again at Hong Zun, his eyes were red.

Panting heavily, he stared fixedly at him.

"Trash, can't even keep an eye on your own Space Ring."

He shouted angrily; in response, Happy Buddha was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized he too was burning with anger.

「What the hell does it have to do with me? I'm tied up, damn it. Besides, isn't that person from your Dao Yi Sect? 」

「His space ring was stolen; as the owner he didn't say a word, but instead Hong Zun gave him a scolding—what the hell is this? 」

「But Hong Zun obviously didn't want to waste words, he drew his sword—this waste who couldn't even guard his own space ring was now worthless. 」

「With a swing of the sword, a head flew high into the air—the Happy Buddha, a towering figure of the demonic path, fell just like that outside the Jinhai Yingdi. 」

「After the battle was settled, Hong Zun slowly descended; elsewhere the fights were also winding down, and the Dao Yi Sect won a complete victory. 」

「Where is that scoundrel? 」

「As soon as he spoke, he asked about Qing Shi's whereabouts; Zhao Zhengping pointed to the formation's entrance, and seeing this, Hong Zun said to Bai Hua Xianzi: 」

「Leave the rest to you, Junior Sister. 」

「Senior Brother, you're too polite. 」

「In a flash, Hong Zun also entered the formation—needless to say, he was surely going to look for Qing Shi. 」

「Seeing that they were finally safe, the numerous loose cultivators who had fled all the way to the Jinhai Yingdi, as well as ordinary people, cheered, having finally escaped disaster. 」

「Meanwhile, the Dao Yi Sect disciples also began to settle them; the formation naturally couldn't let these people come and go freely, so for now they could only be arranged outside the formation. 」

「Besides, with disciples stationed here, there was no need to worry about attacks from demonic cultivators. 」

「Simple tents were set up; once the demonic cultivators' matter was resolved, these people could return to their hometowns. 」

「As for the Dao Yi Sect, everyone was deeply grateful; Ye Zhangqing, Zhao Zhengping, and the others stood together, looking at the survivors, and unconsciously a smile appeared on their faces. 」

「But just then, a beautiful female voice suddenly came from the crowd, very pleasant to hear, even more refreshing than Bai Hua Xianzi's voice. 」

「Young master........... 」

「Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing and the others turned toward the sound; just that one glance left them all stunned. 」

「There was a Dàhuáng dog, filthy all over, tongue out, tail wagging as it ran over here, constantly making sounds. 」

「Young master............... 」

「This sight shocked everyone, and Xu Jie couldn't help but draw his sword, shouting angrily. 」

「Hey, bold dog demon, how dare you defile my keen eyes? Watch me, Xu Jie, cut you down. 」
