Chapter 282: Reverse formation, cut weeds and remove roots

The Danyuanti Sect's formation is not very strong.

In a fully deployed situation, it can withstand two or three attacks from a Foundation Establishment true cultivator.

In terms of effect, it's not even as good as the Small Five Elements Formation that Miao Wen gave Luo Chen back then.

If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment true cultivator, they might have to spend some effort.

But with no one to stop him, Wang Yuan's close-range attack condensed his blood and Qi force to the extreme.

One palm!

Just one palm!

"Boom!!!"

The explosive sound echoed for ten miles.

Under the attention of countless loose cultivators, spiritual light shot everywhere, and on Mount Yuanhe, large areas of foundation exploded.

If Min Longyu were here, he would only disdainfully say: "The connection to the earth veins is too shallow!"

Formation broken!

In the mountain, several late-stage Qi Refining cultivators spat blood and died on the spot.

The preaching elder was furious and flew into the sky.

"Qi Refining Great Perfection?"

Wang Yuan frowned and casually struck out a force.

That person sacrificed a defensive magic treasure.

A strange scene appeared again.

The blood-colored star bypassed his body and suddenly returned from behind, piercing his brow.

Watching the old man fall to the earth without closing his eyes, Wang Yuan nodded slightly, "Sure enough, the application of bright force can be more flexible and changeable, the first style of the Blood God Tribulation Finger finally has a prototype."

After gaining something.

Wang Yuan raised his right hand high, then slashed down fiercely.

"Kill!"

With an order, experts from the Pill and Medicine Halls, as well as fifty outer sect cultivators, killed their way into Mount Yuanhe.

Among this group of people, the outer sect loose cultivators who had just joined the Luo Tian Society were the most active and positive!

Wang Yuan watched this scene without any intention of taking action again.

Before setting off in the morning, Luo Chen specially exhorted several of them.

For battles of the same rank, you can be unscrupulous.

But if you bully the small with the big, you must control the measure.

Do not cause too much killing.

Otherwise, the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team will not sit idly by.

This is an unspoken rule, but everyone knows it.

Otherwise, if Foundation Establishment true cultivators take action, Tianlan Immortal City, even with tens of thousands of Qi Refining loose cultivators, wouldn't be enough to kill.

If Wang Yuan and the others killed too many low-

The Yuding Domain has long had a prohibition specifically targeting demonic cultivators.

If anyone truly appears who slaughters wantonly, the major sects will join forces to eradicate them!

Luo Chen does not want the thriving Luo Tian Society to be labeled as a demonic force.

Wang Yuan suppressed the impulse in his heart and sat in the sky to oversee the overall situation.

His attention, besides overlooking the overall battle, also kept some focus on Qu Lingjun, Ma Shoupu, Feng Xia, and others.

Perhaps because the Sect Master was already dead, perhaps because the great formation was broken, and even more so with the helper Shen Gongyi fleeing first.

The members and disciples of the Danyuan Sect already knew clearly.

The situation was lost!

Coupled with a true Foundation Establishment cultivator eyeing them from the sky.

They barely resisted for long before they began to scatter and flee.

The cultivators of the Luo Tian Society had some who tried to pursue and kill.

But under the scolding of their respective squad leaders, they stopped caring once they were outside the range of Mount Yuanhe.

The most urgent task was to collect the wealth of this sect.

Amidst endless wailing, the slaughter and firelight never ceased.

After this battle, the Danyuan Sect was completely removed from the Tianlan Immortal City.

Those who escaped would not amount to much and could no longer pose a threat to the Luo Tian Society.

And on the other side.

The Battle Hall cultivators led by Sima Xian were already rushing toward their target destination like lightning.

Tianying Peak!

Yuzhen Temple!

These two places did not have the good connections of the Danyuan Sect.

They received the news late, their connections were shallow, and they couldn't invite any true Foundation Establishment cultivators to help.

Following Xing Zonghan's appearance and his forceful breaking of the Tianying Peak formation.

A slaughter unfolded on a grand scale.

Unlike Wang Yuan, the Ying family had a blood feud with Xing Zonghan!

Therefore, after killing the head of the Ying family, Xing Zonghan had no intention of stopping at all.

Dragging his heavily injured body, his spiritual sense spread in all directions; as long as he encountered anyone at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, he dealt a ruthless hand.

Wherever he passed, blood flowed like a river, with almost no one able to withstand a single blow.

Watching this scene, Sima Xian's mind trembled.

A true Foundation Establishment cultivator is terrifying to this extent!

But thinking of Luo Chen's instructions before setting off, he still remained calm.

"Come, follow me to kill our way to the peak and seize those seven eagle nests!"

"This is the item the President specifically named!"

Following his order, a team composed of eighth-layer Qi Refining cultivators from the Battle Hall followed behind him, advancing madly toward Tianying Peak.

The Geng family!

Very close to Danxia Peak, only a few dozen miles away.

At a cultivator's speed, it is no exaggeration to say it takes only the time to brew a cup of tea.

Their family structure was very similar to the original Fu family.

They had built a huge fortress and lived clustered together.

On the outskirts of the fortress, it was mostly mortals.

Inside, it was all cultivators.

The further in, the higher the cultivator's realm, and naturally, the higher their status.

A figure came on foot from the main road.

Walking neither fast nor slow, his eyes looked around, as if observing something.

While passing the sand-drying field, a strong and healthy Geng family mortal asked vigilantly: "Who are you? Looking around, what are you doing?"

Min Longyu smiled slightly, said nothing, and just kept walking forward.

Seeing that he was just walking on foot, unlike those immortal cultivators who flew, the Geng family mortals assumed he was also a mortal and stepped forward to try and block him.

However, before they could get close, a gentle force pushed them away.

"It's an immortal cultivator!"

"Senior, spare our lives."

"The small ones have eyes but failed to recognize..."

Min Longyu could no longer hear the words behind him.

His footsteps reached a thousand meters away from the fortress.

Patrolling low-tier Geng family Qi Refining cultivators came forward to interrogate him.

Greeting them were wisps of strange spiritual energy emitted from Min Longyu.

Wherever the spiritual energy passed, these Qi Refining cultivators all fell to the ground unconscious.

When Min Longyu arrived a hundred meters in front of the fortress gate, late-stage Qi Refining cultivators had appeared one after another on the city tower.

Among them, there was no lack of those dressed in luxurious clothing, who looked like Geng family high-level members at a glance.

The other party looked at Min Longyu with a very ugly expression.

Without any nonsense, a great formation was unfolded right there.

Looking at the great formation emitting a yellowish spiritual light, Min Longyu smiled.

"Sure enough, the mountains and earth veins have not changed, and the direction of the great formation has not changed either."

"You are actually still using the set of formations that my Min family set up a hundred years ago!"

While talking to himself, his figure slowly floated into mid-air.

Under the gaze of hundreds of Geng family cultivators, he threw small flags in all directions.

"What is he doing?"

"Don't know, it's inexplicable."

"No matter, our Geng family's great formation is not some cheap goods; it is a genuine second-tier defensive formation! Even if a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator comes here, they can hold out for three days!"

"I have already contacted a Foundation Establishment senior who has old ties with our Geng family; he will arrive to help by tomorrow at the latest."

"Hold out for these two days..."

Just as the Geng family cultivators were discussing heatedly.

Suddenly, someone discovered that the great formation guarding the Geng family fortress had changed.

That hazy spiritual light was turning from yellow to white!

"What is going on?"

"Report to the Elder, we cannot control the formation anymore."

"No, we didn't activate the attack hub of the great formation!"

"It's him, he is seizing the dominance of the great formation!"

Amidst the panic, someone finally realized where the problem lay.

It was just a pity.

Everything was already too late.

In the sky, Min Longyu used his spiritual sense as a guide and spiritual power as the source of strength, using thirty-six formation flags to counter the Geng family's great formation, and finally pressed his hand onto the old, worn-out Luo Pan he had originally used.

Looking at the huge fortress beneath his feet, Min Longyu drank lightly.

"Reverse!"

In just a single instant, the great formation protecting the Geng family began to undergo strange changes.

The great formation, which had already turned from yellow to white, instantly became pitch black.

The originally clear sky was like dark clouds pressing down.

Inside the fortress, many Geng family cultivators realized something was wrong and rushed straight into the sky, holding powerful magic tools.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Min Longyu's mouth, and he flicked his finger.

The next moment!

On the great formation, a ferocious earthy-yellow long spear emerged.

Whoosh!

In just a flash, the Geng family Qi Refining cultivator who rushed to the front had his body pierced.

The powerful impact, relying on inertia, smashed him into the city.

After crashing through a house, he was stuck firmly into the ground.

This terrifying scene made the Geng family cultivators who were charging at the great formation subconsciously stop.

"Careful!"

A sharp roar rang out.

When they came to their senses, they were shocked to find that spears had appeared in the sky.

Each one was as ferocious and terrifying as the previous one.

Everyone's souls were scared out of their wits, and they fled madly.

However, how fast could Qi Refining cultivators fly?

With a wave of Min Longyu's hand, those spears all went to claim lives.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, above the Geng family fortress, spears fell like rain.

Wailing, cursing, and begging for mercy were endless.

Min Longyu acted as if he didn't hear, alone, controlling the reversed great formation, constantly harvesting the lives of the Geng family cultivators.

A hundred years ago.

He had not yet been born.

The history of the Danxia Min family being besieged by strong enemies for a year, and finally running out of food and being worn down to death, was mostly instilled by his elders.

However, when he restarted the Min family's great formation on Danxia Peak, he suddenly discovered that perhaps history was not as simple as the Min family survivors had said.

With the excellence of the Min family's formation path, since they could hold out for a year, there was no reason they couldn't hold out for a second year.

As long as they waited for the Golden Core major sect that had a good relationship with his Min family to take charge of the Tianlan Immortal City again, the predicament would be solved without a fight.

The reason the great formation was broken mainly lay in the narrow valley where Geng Lie and Geng Shuzhen went.

It was they who worked from the inside and out, not only attracting strong enemies but also breaking the formation base.

If this was just a guess.

Then after Min Longyu returned to Tianlan, the Min family mortals all disappeared, and the mastermind behind the scenes faintly pointed to the Geng family, which could indicate something.

Of course, all of this was just a guess.

But it was already not important at all!

These were just auxiliary causes; what truly brought the disaster of extinction to the Geng family was that they had offended the Luo Tian Society.

"How can others be allowed to snore beside one's bed?"

"Having woken up the beast that is the Luo Tian Society, you still want to live in peace in a corner; it is simply wishful thinking!"

With a cold sneer, Min Longyu's hand-sealing movements became more frequent.

After the earth spears, countless bricks and stones on the ground were sucked into the sky, condensing into huge, floating rocks.

Those hiding in the corners, looking at his figure standing in the sky, felt their souls tremble.

A devil, he is a devil...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Time, I don't know how long had passed.

Inside the fortress, it had become completely quiet.

"Elder Min?"

"Elder Min!"

Min Longyu suddenly woke up from his trance.

Behind him was Murong Qinglian's fearful gaze, "What should be done about this?"

He shook his head violently, looking at the devastated Min family fortress, his face somewhat ugly.

Years of hard cultivation, wandering everywhere.

Had caused a feeling of repression to accumulate in his heart.

Now that he had reached Foundation Establishment, encountering a great battle for the first time, he had been carried away by the killing for a moment and couldn't stop himself.

Unknowingly, he had wiped out a clan.

"Sorry, I seem to have gone a bit too far."

Murong Qinglian squeezed out a smile, but no matter how she looked at it, it felt forced.

The harm caused by a powerful formation master was truly a bit terrifying.

Even if a true Foundation Establishment cultivator was strong enough, slaughtering the Geng family would not be this easy.

At least!

Some people would always be able to escape.

Min Longyu sighed, "You go and collect the resources; the lethality of the great formation is aimed at cultivators, so there should still be a lot left behind."

"And you?"

"Me?" Min Longyu pulled himself together and said somewhat uneasily: "I will go back and plead guilty to the President!"

Before setting off, Luo Chen had said not to create too much killing karma.

He had been carried away by the moment and had wiped out the Geng family, cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots.

Except for... those mortals.

Min Longyu glanced at the Geng family mortals fleeing in all directions, feeling somewhat dispirited.

After he left.

Murong Qinglian hurriedly took people to collect their respective resources in the ruins.

As Min Longyu said, his formations mostly relied on earth spears and falling rocks.

The Geng family's resources were preserved quite intact.

Storage bags, magic tools, hoarded spirit rice, large pieces of mineral materials, and inside the treasury, there were even over a hundred thousand spirit stones stored.

It seems that in these years, without the Min family as a mountain on their heads, the Geng family had developed quite well!

Murong Qinglian looked at the pile of spirit stones packed into boxes and shook her head.

"Danxia Peak and Biyou Valley have been used by the Geng family for free for these years; it is only natural they could earn this family fortune."

"Still too little."

"More should be in the storage bags of the two true Foundation Establishment cultivators, Geng Lie and Geng Shuzhen."

While she was muttering, a subordinate walked over and quietly said something.

"There are still surviving cultivators?"

Murong Qinglian hesitated for a moment, then her expression became ruthless.

"Deal with them, leave none behind!"

She had already figured it out.

This spirit land of the Geng family was simply too close to Danxia Peak.

It was better to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots for such neighbors with ulterior motives.

Min Longyu had done nothing wrong!

The President, he was still too kind.

On Danxia Peak.

Luo Chen toyed with several storage bags in his hand, some belonging to Hu Changxi, some to Danyuanzi, and others handed over by Min Longyu earlier from the Geng siblings.

Geng Shuzhen's storage bag not being destroyed in the suddenly erupting earth fire was truly a bit of luck.

But unfortunately, these two could not both belong to Min Longyu privately.

Min Longyu certainly had merit in controlling the great formation, but the massive spirit stones required to activate it, as well as the consumption of drawing the power of the Danxia Peak spirit vein, were all borne by the Luo Tian Society.

Naturally, the spoils of war also had to be handed over.

There would be rewards based on merit later, but for now, it was better to collect them uniformly.

Besides this harvest, the cultivators of the Xun Hall and Jin Hall were still continuously transporting various resources back from outside.

Those true Foundation Establishment cultivators who participated in the siege of the Luo Tian Society were not alone.

Behind them were forces that had been operating for decades, even a hundred years.

Having operated for so long, they naturally would have a substantial family fortune.

"Report!"

"The Danyuan Sect has been broken!"

"Tianying Peak has been broken!"

"Yuzhen Temple has been broken!"

"The Geng family, also broken."

Good news came one after another.

When Min Longyu returned, the news of the Geng family being broken also reached Luo Chen's ears.

Facing this good news, Luo Chen always appeared very calm.

With the group leaderless, he sent out true Foundation Establishment cultivators one by one, naturally sweeping away everything.

"It was a bit tragic over at Tianying Peak; Xing Zonghan slaughtered too much, not only killing all the ninth-layer Qi Refining cultivators of the Ying family but also continuously hunting down the low-tier cultivators of the Ying family."

Zhou Yuanli looked solemn and worried: "President, will this cause trouble?"

Luo Chen's expression was calm, "No matter, he is not a member of our Luo Tian Society; we can just distance ourselves later."

Zhou Yuanli suddenly realized.

Since the other party dared to do that, they naturally had to be prepared to bear the consequences.

The Luo Tian Society had already helped him take revenge, and distancing themselves could not be considered abandoning an ally.

Xing Zonghan should also know this in his heart.

After Zhou Yuanli left, Min Longyu came forward to plead guilty.

Regarding his act of slaughtering the Geng family, Luo Chen just sighed.

"What's done is done!"

Min Longyu was slow to realize and a bit worried.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being labeled a demonic cultivator, but that he was worried about bringing big trouble to the Luo Tian Society.

Facing his worry, Luo Chen shook his head.

"It's not a big problem, don't take it to heart. But for the next period of time, without my order, try not to act alone."

Although he didn't know where Luo Chen's confidence came from.

But seeing him willing to bear the pressure for himself, Min Longyu was quite moved.

Being moved, he asked curiously: "President, what are we going to do next?"

"What do you mean what are we going to do?" Luo Chen asked back.

Min Longyu scratched his head, "The Li family is handling the Hu family side, and we have solved the Danyuan Sect, Tianying Peak, Yuzhen Temple, and the Geng family, but there is still one person."

He paused, his expression solemn: "Lu Rong is an elder of the Shen Gong Sect; his death is a troublesome matter."

Unexpectedly, after Luo Chen heard this, he just smiled faintly.

"It's not just Lu Rong, there is also Wei Tuo of Mount Xuchen, who also offended me."

"With me, there is no such thing as a debt being cleared upon death."

Min Longyu opened his mouth in surprise.

Is the President going to have another big move next?

Luo Chen picked up Geng Shuzhen's storage bag from that pile and handed it to him.

"This counts as your private spoils of war."

"This isn't good!" Min Longyu said embarrassedly, "I only borrowed the power of the Luo Tian Society."

"There is nothing good or bad about it; they all have a share, and the rest counts as public property."

Luo Chen threw the storage bag into his arms.

Afterward, with his hands behind his back, he paced and walked out of the main hall.

His gaze looked out of the mountain, his expression deep.

Next, it was no longer suitable for big moves.

He had already made enough of a scene before, but because of the appearance of Dantai Jin, he knew everything was still within the other party's tolerance.

Now, the only thing to do.

Is—wait!
