Chapter 2121: Formations Spring Up Everywhere

I say, you master and disciple wouldn't plan to just use this method to wipe out that beast herd, would you? That seems unlikely.

Qi Xiong said with a worried expression.

The actions of these two master and disciple are really too overbearing; although the beast race is stupid, you can't bully them like this.

If you keep doing this, even a pig would notice something's wrong.

However, facing Qi Xiong's concern, Hong Zun said with a confident and calm expression.

"Senior Brother, don't worry, Xu Jie has his own clever plan."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, after looking at Hong Zun's demeanor, Qi Xiong froze, then after a moment came to his senses, gazing at Hong Zun with a complex expression, and softly said.

"You master and disciple take it easy yourselves, I'm not getting involved anymore."

Qi Xiong felt he was already tired, so these matters need not be tended to.

And Hong Zun's confidence wasn't baseless; as wave after wave of ingredients came to them of their own accord, he had already arranged a team of offerings and secretly launched the operation.

At this moment, not far from the beast herd's outskirts, a group of Dao One Immortal Sect offerings were busily arranging something.

"I say, just kill these beast folk outright—why bother setting up a formation?"

"You don't understand; only the living are fresh."

"Indeed, this price is really too high."

"Alright, these materials are all provided by the Sect, and you're still feeling sorry for them?"

As for the existence of these Dao One Immortal Sect offerings, the beast herd is completely unaware, not noticing anything at all.

At this point, the beast herd's interior also became somewhat chaotic, mainly because the several batches of companions who had gone earlier still hadn't returned, and there was no word at all.

Well, this white qilin that Xu Jie had disguised himself as now had several immortal beasts gathered before him, speaking with great worry.

"Great King, this situation might be a trick."

"Yeah, it's been so long; the Dao One Immortal Sect is only a little over a hundred li away, yet none of the companions who went earlier have returned."

"Humans are vile, Great King; we cannot afford to be careless."

As Qi Xiong said, although the beast race is stupid, they're not completely foolish.

With batch after batch going missing, even a pig would know something's off.

However, facing this situation, Xu Jie seemed to have anticipated it all along, showing no panic whatsoever.

On the contrary, he likewise furrowed his brows, put on an act, and spoke with a solemn expression.

"The situation indeed seems suspicious; what do you think?"

Saying that, his pair of bell‑large eyes glanced indifferently over the several immortal beasts before him.

Noticing Xu Jie's gaze upon them, those few immortal beasts hurriedly lowered their heads and spoke respectfully.

"Great King, I think we can't wait any longer; we should launch an attack straight away, striving to seize the entire Dao One Immortal Sect in one go, giving those humans no chance to catch their breath."

"Right, Great King; time waits for no one."

"Humans are vile; who knows what schemes they have."

As for these beast folk, they admit that scheming isn't their forte against humans.

Therefore, judging by years of past experience, right now the best choice for the beast race is to strike directly.

To fight the humans head‑on with real weapons, letting strength speak.

Rather than now, imitating those humans' roundabout ways, which is exhausting.

From the words of these few immortal beasts, it's not hard to hear that although they dare not say it aloud, deep down they harbor resentment toward Xu Jie's earlier decision.

What should have been a simple matter—once the beast herd had gathered, they could just move in directly.

Attack the Dao One Immortal Sect and take it down in one fell swoop—how simple.

But the Great King insists on employing some "win without fighting" stratagem, and even says he wants to learn human wisdom.

That's nonsense; they're beasts—why would they learn human ways?

Moreover, if they must learn, why not learn something useful? Why bother learning all this useless stuff?

A simple matter, yet the Great King has made it needlessly complicated.

Well then, after sending out several beast squads in succession, they've all vanished like a stone sinking into the sea—no word at all.

But they naturally dare not speak these words, for fear of angering the Great King, lest they be swallowed up in confusion.

Xu Jie naturally knows what those few immortal beasts are thinking, but he pays it no heed.

For now, Xu Jie's task is to stall for time; once the great formation is complete, his merit will be fulfilled.

So, for now we still need to find a way to steady those few immortal beasts.

So, upon hearing those immortal beasts' words, Xu Jie paused, then slowly began to speak.

"Hmm, what you say isn't without reason; indeed, I haven't planned this matter well."

"We dare not."

As soon as those words were spoken, the several immortal beasts instantly nodded and spoke respectfully, for how could they dare let the Great King admit fault?

In the past, whenever the Great King made a mistake—even if he did—he would never admit it, and none of his subordinates would dare bring it up.

Any beast who dared to mention it ended up dead.

Just as those few immortal beasts trembled with fear, suddenly the ground burst forth with a violent shudder.

"What's going on?"

A huge force tore at the earth, cracking the ground open in fissures.

A tremor shook the mountains; the beast herd instantly fell into panic, and those few immortal beasts also looked around in shock.

This sudden change—what on earth is happening? And which humans are behind it?

They had noticed nothing unusual at all, yet suddenly it happened like this—how could the beast herd not panic?

And while these few immortal beasts were looking around, in the distance all around, a pale blue formation light curtain was slowly rising.

The position of the formation light curtain was still some distance away from the beast herd.

But, as the formation light curtain appeared, the beast herd was quickly enveloped by the formation.

Moreover, the formation was rising quickly, and it seemed about to close up.

Seeing this, the few immortal beasts were startled awake, their faces drastically changing.

"Human Race Formation?"

Beast Race naturally does not understand formations, and they also lack the aptitude to study formations.

But not having eaten pork doesn't mean one hasn't seen pigs run.

Not understanding formations, but having fought humans for so many years, they naturally have seen formations and are completely familiar with them.

And this sudden formation, as expected, left these few immortal beasts greatly shocked and dismayed.

When, when did these despicable humans set up this formation here? They didn't notice anything at all.

By now the formation is complete, and only then did they realize.

They simply deserve to die.

Unable to help but grit their teeth secretly, but now saying anything is pointless, the formation has already become a fact.

Moreover, that formation light curtain is rapidly spreading from all sides toward the air above the beast herd; once it closes, the entire beast herd will be enveloped by the formation.

Being enveloped by the Human Race formation, what the consequences are, these few immortal beasts know all too well; if their rank were a bit higher, it would not be impossible for their entire force to be wiped out here.
