Chapter 3262

In the second layer of the Vast Spirit Realm, within a region brimming with spiritual energy.

This region lies amid a vast, undulating mountain range.

The mountains rise majestic and continuous, steep and towering.

Dense spiritual energy permeates like mist and fog; ancient trees and wolf-forests, old herbs fragrant, emit a rich aroma.

Everywhere, vital essence surges and circulates, faintly forming all manner of wondrous scenes.

This territory is precisely a recently revealed blessed land of opportunity in the second layer of the Spirit Realm.

Named the Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake.

Following the undulating mountain ridges, one can see.

Deep in the mountains, spiritual veins converge at the core.

There, conspicuously, lies a lake, strangely presenting two colors — black and white.

Thick yin and yang qi circulate within it.

It can be said that if this lake were in the outside world, it would absolutely draw countless factions and experts to fight over it.

And within the Spirit Realm, this is likewise a rare opportunity.

Originally it would absolutely have attracted numerous proud heaven's-chosen cultivators to contend for it.

But now.

The entire Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake has been monopolized by members of the Xiao Tian Organization, forbidding outsiders from entering.

Many heaven's-chosen are quite resentful, yet they dare not speak out.

"Why can't we enter this Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake?"

In the outer area of the Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake, a cultivator who had only recently arrived at the second layer, puzzled, asked.

"You still don't know, do you? The Xiao Tian Organization's people have surrounded and blockaded the Tian Yu Immortal Dynasty's Ninth Princess Jiang Yunran and the others inside the lake."

"They're only holding out this long by relying on a certain formation."

"And that Carefree King of the Tian Yu Immortal Dynasty — you should have heard his name — Xiao Tian is doing this for revenge."

A cultivator explained, sighing helplessly.

This is a clash of gods; mortals suffer the calamity.

Xiao Tian and the Tian Yu Immortal Dynasty facing off has instead left them without even a chance to seize the opportunity.

And at this moment, around the Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake.

There are fully over a hundred Xiao Tian Organization members present.

Among them, more than a dozen Silver Masks, each with outstanding bearing and extraordinary aura.

They have long since sealed off the entire lake, cutting off any possibility of entry or exit.

As for why they haven't moved to capture Jiang Yunran, Mu Changxi, and the others.

It is because, right now above the Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake.

A vast, profound formation is in operation.

Formation patterns undulate, terrifying yin-yang power surges.

Anyone who rashly enters will suffer a terrifying offensive.

A Silver Mask examined the formation and said.

"Unexpected, that among them there is actually a Source Master proficient in source-technique formations."

"If not for this formation, we could have completed the mission long ago."

Another Silver Mask said: "So what? They can't hold out much longer."

"Besides, that my lord is arriving soon; when the time comes, they'll still have to surrender with hands bound."

Mentioning that my lord, even these Silver Masks couldn't help but reveal a trace of reverence in their tones.

Because that my lord who is about to descend.

Is a Gold Mask!

The Gold Mask's status in the Xiao Tian Organization is self-evident.

Those who can wear a Gold Mask are all dragons and phoenixes among men.

Moreover, that my lord has not deliberately concealed his identity and origins.

Inside the Xiao Tian Organization, many people know that my lord's true identity.

He comes from a hegemonic clan!

Just this point alone is enough to inspire awe in countless people!

"Once that my lord arrives, breaking this formation will be effortless." This Silver Mask sneered.

"But doing so means we've thoroughly offended that Carefree King; after all, he possesses a Chaos Body…"

Another Silver Mask hesitated, always feeling a thread of unease in his heart.

This Silver Mask laughed in disdain: "Why worry about these things? If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up."

"Our Xiao Tian has no shortage of big shots."

"That Carefree King is indeed strong, a freakish talent, but are those my lords in our Xiao Tian weak?"

Just as these Silver Masks were discussing.

Inside the Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake, beneath that circulating grand formation.

Three women sit cross-legged within, sustaining the formation.

Precisely Mu Changxi, Jiang Yunran, and Sang Yu.

Earlier the three women had been besieged in the Qiankun Two-Instruments Lake by Xiao Tian.

Originally the situation was critical.

It was Sangyu, a sudden inspiration.

She thought of setting up a source technique grand formation to draw upon the yin-yang power of this place, forming a formation barrier.

In this way, by relying on the power of the Qiankun Liangyi Lake, they could temporarily block Xiao Tian.

However, this formation could not be maintained for too long.

Because they needed to constantly maintain the formation, it was obviously impossible to sustain it indefinitely, and it would consume them greatly.

Jiang Yunran, in a snow-white dress, her face unadorned, like a lotus rising from clear water.

At this moment, her face also showed fatigue, the consumption not small.

She glanced sideways at Mu Changxi with the corner of her eye and opened her lips to speak.

"I never thought one day we would join hands like this."

On the side, Mu Changxi, upon hearing this, also smiled.

The two girls, though they had previously appeared harmonious with no quarrels or the like.

But in fact, it was invisible smoke of war.

Both girls wanted to become more outstanding, to gain more attention and gaze from Jun Xiaoyao.

There existed a mindset similar to competition.

It was just not spoken aloud.

Who would have thought that the originally competitive pair of girls would now be joining forces to resist the enemy?

"But if we continue like this, we cannot hold on for too long."

"When the formation is broken, we fear..." Mu Changxi's brow furrowed with a thread of worry.

Although falling in the Vast Spirit Realm would not truly mean death.

But if they failed, they would be unable to enter the Vast Spirit Realm for a period of time.

The so-called time is opportunity.

Missing a period of time would undoubtedly lose many opportunities, equivalent to falling behind others by a step.

The two girls originally had a competitive spirit, wanting to become more outstanding, striving to close the distance with Jun Xiaoyao, not wanting to be left far behind.

Therefore, they naturally did not want to fall and miss the opportunity.

"If we can hold on until Xiaoyao comes..." Mu Changxi said.

Jiang Yunran, however, slightly shook her head: "Actually, I am not too willing for Xiaoyao clansman to come here..."

"Huh? You..." Mu Changxi was slightly surprised, looking at Jiang Yunran.

"Because that would make me feel useless." Jiang Yunran said.

She wanted to become someone who could help Jun Xiaoyao, not his burden.

Mu Changxi fell silent; she, too, had not thought otherwise.

But Jun Xiaoyao is too strong.

This would create a problem: his opponents would not be weak either.

For Jun Xiaoyao, it might not count as anything at all.

But for the people around him, it would indeed cause considerable pressure.

"If I could prove the Dao and become an emperor, perhaps now we would not be in such a sorry state..."

Jiang Yunran clenched her jade hand, her clear eyes holding a trace of determination.

Mu Changxi was the same.

They, at least, needed to become Youth Emperor-level to be initially qualified as Jun Xiaoyao's aid.

And just at this moment.

Outside the formation came the cold shout of the Xiao Tian organization.

"You cannot hold on much longer—do you still want to resist stubbornly?"

"Soon, a major figure of my Xiao Tian organization will descend."

"By then, you will find it even harder to persist, and no one will be able to save you!"
