Chapter 212

The scholar's gaze swept over Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Shao'an, then skipped over them and looked further away.

That guy is still hiding.

However, even with the sensory amplification of the scholar's body, Li Li Zhuiyuan still couldn't detect the other party's whereabouts outside.

Outside the tower, the scholar lowered his head; inside the tower, Li Li Zhuiyuan looked at the floor tiles under his feet.

If he wasn't outside, then is it possible... he's inside?

This high tower has twelve floors going up; this is a fixed number, but how many floors are below, who knows?

When the scholar opened his eyes, shock appeared on the faces of Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Shao'an.

Although they were also dead, dead people are different from dead people.

They went through all kinds of hardships to come here, not to pursue ascension to become immortals, but to sacrifice the small self to seek good fortune for the family's future.

They carefully stripped themselves, carefully designed their own deaths, didn't enter the high tower, and deliberately let themselves fall into a dilemma.

Because of this, they were able to become "lonely ghosts" in this secret realm; although they were stripped of their identities as living people, they retained their self-consciousness to the greatest extent.

And the people who entered the high tower not only died, but also handed over all their sovereignty to this tower, maintaining this rule while being suppressed by it.

It can be said that the people who entered the tower no longer had self-consciousness; even if there were some remnants, they were pitifully few.

The old Daoist priest placed in his lifetime, the three of them would never be his opponents, but he died after all; a corpse controlled rigidly by the high tower had too many limitations.

Power without wisdom and experience to control it is not that terrifying, no matter how strong it is.

And when the corpse opens its eyes, it means the return of the consciousness from when it was alive.

Zhen Shao'an's face was also very ugly; as a formation master, he inevitably lacked basic layout strategies. He now truly had a feeling that the Dao is one foot high and the devil is ten feet high, and both sides were constantly adding weight to each other.

He had long suspected whether the three of them lurking here and constantly climbing up in this rule system step by step was too smooth and taken for granted.

But with the constant increase in sunk costs, and the inhuman and ghost-like torment he suffered here day and night, he no longer dared to think carefully about this possibility.

Even now, the feeling of being pushed by a mastermind behind the scenes was almost explicitly stated, but he was even more afraid to delve into it.

"Meow!!"

The one who broke this relative tranquility was Yu Miaomiao.

Although she couldn't figure out why that scholar could appear and why he could open his eyes, she felt that the time for counterattack had arrived!

Yu Miaomiao's demon energy erupted, and after breaking free from the pressure on her body, she flew up swiftly, and then triggered the collective operation of multiple formations below and above, and with a "bang," she was slapped heavily to the ground.

Zhen Shao'an: "..."

Yu Cangshe had always been arrogant, and he also recognized and understood this, after all, the Yu family was a genuine Dragon King family.

But this family junior of Yu Cangshe really made him unable to understand.

Even if he was distracted just now, he was a formation master; with the formation already deployed, you actually still thought about taking the opportunity to sneak attack?

However, Yu Miaomiao's tragic state did indeed blow a radical horn for the current situation.

Regardless of the past and future, at least now, Yu Miaomiao dragged one person down; there was no reason to let Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Shao'an cooperate together now that they saw her really being killed.

The scholar took a step forward and said at the same time: "Continue to command."

Zhao Yi flicked his hand: "One hundred percent rest assured!"

Since the Li guy gave him so much face, he naturally couldn't hold him back.

Zhao Yi immediately whispered to the people around him: "Don't be slack; the Li guy needs to save energy to deal with the crisis that hasn't appeared yet, so now we still have to rely on ourselves to top it."

This wasn't tacit understanding, but a kind of understanding and judgment of the situation.

Zhao Yi saw it; the Li guy's control over this body had limitations, otherwise he wouldn't have come out and first negotiated in the name of Heaven.

Since he could do useless negotiations, it wasn't a time limit, but a usage intensity limit.

Facts were indeed so.

Although Li Li Zhuiyuan used the black-skinned book secret technique to become the first controller of this body, this was still built on the basis of local rules.

And the rules here were constantly collapsing; the silk threads on the scholar's body had already broken by half compared to before; every powerful manipulation next would lead to the continued breaking of the remaining silk threads.

Good steel must be used on the blade; he wanted to keep this trump card as much as possible to deal with the subsequent moves of the one hidden.

The scholar's body rushed forward, targeting Xu Zhenrong.

Xu Zhenrong couldn't understand this situation, but she could only make a response; she couldn't even retreat or escape, because she had long since lost her way back.

Her hands quickly pinched seals, and sixteen circular marks appeared on "fake Lu Runsheng's" body, and then all qi gates were opened!

Powerful momentum rose; this scene was almost no different from when Lu Runsheng himself opened all qi gates.

The scholar's originally straight forward figure bypassed it and didn't rush directly toward "fake Lu Runsheng."

Lu Runsheng saw this and looked back at Zhao Yi, meaning he also wanted to open all qi gates now.

Zhao Yi: "Seeing Yin Meng, get on Lu Runsheng's back and go poke that imposter!"

Seeing Yin Meng didn't say a word, jumped directly onto Lu Runsheng's back, and wrapped her left arm around Lu Runsheng's neck.

Lu Runsheng gripped the Yellow River shovel with his right hand, waved his left arm, and began to sprint.

It's just that Lu Runsheng didn't open all qi gates after all, and in terms of momentum, he was far from that "fake Lu Runsheng."

"Fake Lin Lin Shu You" and "fake Tan Tan Wenbin" were not idle either; Xu Zhenrong did not leave them in front of her for protection, but sent them all out toward Zhao Yi's side.

The main reason Zhao Yi and the others could set up a turtle formation before was that Lu Runsheng was in front to die hard, while the others, including Zhao Yi, were doing various assists.

Now, Lu Runsheng came out, so the turtle shell couldn't be set up; solve the easy ones first, and then focus on dealing with the most difficult one.

This line of thought couldn't be said to be wrong; from the perspective of ordinary people, it was very clear and decisive.

Xu Zhenrong was an excellent puppet master; in terms of puppet arts, even Li Li Zhuiyuan needed to learn from her.

But there is a specialty in the art industry, and different lines are like mountains; the person Xu Zhenrong was facing now was two people who were good at commanding group battles.

The two of them didn't even need too much communication, didn't even need a look, just focused on the situation in front of them, and simulated the other party's response in their brains.

Lu Runsheng carried Seeing Yin Meng and got closer and closer to "fake Lu Runsheng."

He also didn't expect that he would one day face his own all-qi-gates-open state.

Precisely because this was his trump card, he understood the combat disparity between these two states even better.

He could perhaps take two or three moves in active defense, but if it were an active attack, he would likely be killed in one encounter.

But he listened to Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan told him to listen to Zhao Yi for the time being, so he listened to Zhao Yi.

Even knowing that if he continued to rush forward, the outcome of the encounter would be very dangerous for himself and Seeing Yin Meng on his body, he did not have the slightest hesitation.

The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly.

When they were close to a certain degree, which was also the safe range where "fake Lu Runsheng" could fight and turn back to protect Xu Zhenrong, under Xu Zhenrong's manipulation, "fake Lu Runsheng" began to rush forward.

At this time, the scholar who had been cruising and waiting on the periphery rushed toward "fake Lu Runsheng" fiercely.

"Fake Lu Runsheng's" speed dropped, he raised his arm and swung his fist, preparing to meet the attack.

However, the scholar was just making a feint and didn't really launch an attack; before the two sides officially made contact, the scholar stopped his figure.

However, with this interruption, the momentum that "fake Lu Runsheng" had just built up was reduced; after the scholar left, when Lu Runsheng carried Seeing Yin Meng and rushed up, "fake Lu Runsheng" changed moves again and punched again.

This punch was rushed, and it was only five percent of the strength of the peak period.

Although Lu Runsheng in his normal state still couldn't match this intensity, at least it helped him reduce the damage he suffered.

Lu Runsheng's shovel collided with the other party's fist.

In an instant, the qi energy of both sides collided violently.

Subsequently, Lu Runsheng flew backward.

Seeing Yin Meng on his back took the opportunity to jump off the car, flew up, and threw all the remaining poison jars in her hand, adding a little clever force to rotate them when throwing, making them collide and shatter in mid-air; for a time, colored poison mist fell.

This time, the area of the poison mist was not large, and the falling speed was not fast; wanting to dodge it was actually very simple.

Xu Zhenrong knew that the girl's poison was unusual, so she immediately manipulated "fake Lu Runsheng" to retreat out of the poison mist range.

Who knew that at this time, the scholar who had just made a feint appeared again, blocking "fake Lu Runsheng's" path of retreat in advance.

"Fake Lu Runsheng" did not pause, but rushed toward the scholar regardless of everything.

The scholar reached out, probed forward, and then kicked his toes on the ground to retreat quickly.

Xu Zhenrong's eyes showed confusion; she suddenly realized that the other party seemed to have concerns and had been avoiding direct combat.

Could it be that you, although you can open your eyes, can only bluff?

To verify this conjecture, "fake Lu Runsheng's" pursuit did not stop, the scholar was still retreating, but the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

Just at this time, Lu Runsheng, who had been knocked away before, reappeared in front of the scholar; his arms were already oozing blood due to the previous vibration, but the speed and determination to raise the Yellow River shovel again did not have the slightest hesitation.

Lu Runsheng could sense that inside this scholar was Xiao Yuan.

"Bang!"

Another collision, Lu Runsheng was still knocked away.

The scholar took the initiative to avoid it and didn't catch Lu Runsheng; when Lu Runsheng flew past his side, the scholar opened his mouth and quickly said "four nine seven eight."

At the same time, the palm that had been spread out before was retracted and clenched at this moment.

The colored poison mist that was still falling in a previous area seemed to be pulled by traction, turning into wisps of swirling wind, rushing toward here.

Just at this time, it was also the time for "fake Lu Runsheng's" qi gates to change breath collectively.

The turbid air in the body was exhaled, and new air was strongly inhaled.

Xu Zhenrong watched helplessly as the poison mist was pulled into the body by the scholar; his body began to change color, and his movements suddenly became sluggish.

Xu Zhenrong didn't expect that the strongest masked person in her hand at the moment would be broken so simply.

"You only succeeded this once!"

Xu Zhenrong was very decisive and immediately ordered "fake Lu Runsheng" to self-destruct, and then she crossed her fingers and arched them upward.

Without one, she could knead another.

This place had already become her classroom environment, which was her home field.

The scholar's figure moved again, avoiding the aftermath of "fake Lu Runsheng's" self-destruction.

And at this time, inside one of the jade inverted cones above, sixty black shadows had poured in again.

Soon, another pool of white cocoons would fall, and then another "fake Lu Runsheng" would appear.

Inside the high tower, Li Li Zhuiyuan raised both hands.

Outside the high tower, the scholar crossed his fingers and arched them upward.

The jade inverted cone that had already been injected with sixty black shadows was again filled with dozens of black shadows, blocking that inverted cone tightly.

Too many black shadows were blocked in the inverted cone and simply couldn't turn into white cocoons and fall off.

Xu Zhenrong's body trembled; although she was wearing a mask, she could still perceive her shock at this moment.

"It's you!"

Although the scholar and Zhao Yi had a brief exchange before, it was only until now that Xu Zhenrong determined who was actually controlling the scholar at the moment.

It was she who taught him the Nuo drama puppet technique, but she didn't expect that he could actually prevent her from performing the technique in this way.

"Fake Tan Tan Wenbin" and "fake Lin Lin Shu You" were not recalled by Xu Zhenrong to protect herself, and the scholar did not advance toward Xu Zhenrong, but instead began to retreat.

During the retreat, Xu Zhenrong tried several more times to suck black shadows into the inverted cones, but no matter which cone she chose, the scholar used the same method to add quantity to that cone.

The simplest way to solve a puppet master is to make her unable to knead puppets anymore.

In another place, under Zhao Yi's arrangement, Tan Tan Wenbin was sent to face his fake alone.

If Tan Tan Wenbin used ghost-controlling arts at this time, he should be able to barely fight back and forth with the other party; after all, the gap in physical fitness didn't have much impact on the level of techniques.

But Zhao Yi asked Tan Tan Wenbin not to use ghost-controlling arts.

First, if you go all-in on everything, how can you reflect the value of his Zhao young master?

Second, he, Zhao Yi, was now counting on the Li guy's team to survive this wave, and preserving their strength as much as possible was also a kind of protection for himself.

Zhao Yi believed that if there was a situation of turmoil or collective collapse later, the Li guy would definitely drag his partners away first, and only if conditions allowed would he come to drag him away.

"Fake Tan Tan Wenbin" opened his hands, and two "resentful infants" sat on his shoulders clapping and singing.

Tan Tan Wenbin was subjected to such mental attacks and could only hold his head and kneel on the ground, with blood overflowing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose; however, fortunately, although his two god-sons couldn't officially take action, they could also hug their god-father's head together and give their god-father some protection.

This scene really looked quite fatherly and sonly.

It's just that the two god-sons were holding their god-father while their eyes were flowing with deep resentment, and this resentment was directed at Zhao Yi.

It was he who didn't let their god-father release their power; now that their god-father was suffering, it was all the fault of that three-eyed guy!

The scholar suddenly appeared behind the fake "Tan Tan Wenbin"; the "fake Tan Tan Wenbin" noticed it, and while turning his head, his eyes turned red, and various negative emotions surged toward the scholar like a tide.

Because this body was controlled by Li Li Zhuiyuan, these emotions were naturally passed on to the youth, and then, there was no then.

Seeming to notice that this kind of mental disturbance technique was ineffective against this person, "fake Tan Tan Wenbin's" body began to bulge rapidly; this was to bless his own body in the way of ghost-controlling arts.

The scholar quickly closed the distance, then reached out his finger and pointed at the shoulders of "fake Tan Tan Wenbin" from a distance.

Xu Zhenrong's puppet art was indeed wonderful, but she had a bad habit, which was that she was too obsessed with the perfection of the restoration.

She shouldn't be like this while alive, but after dying here, possessing almost endless high-quality raw materials and being able to help herself deduce with the help of partial rule permissions... she fought rich battles too much and caught a rich disease.

Why those two resentful infants liked to sit on Tan Tan Wenbin's shoulders was not to show the warmth of father-son affection, but because Tan Tan Wenbin's two shoulders had been pasted with seals by himself.

She also restored this detail.

It couldn't be counted as her negligence, but her deduction itself was knowing the what but not the why.

The seals on both shoulders were activated by the scholar, and "fake Tan Tan Wenbin" knelt to the ground all of a sudden, his body beginning to twitch.

"I'll do it!"

Tan Tan Wenbin, covered in blood, stood up, held the Yellow River shovel, ran forward quickly, and chopped off the head that was exactly the same as his own with one shovel.

"Hoo..."

Don't mention it, the feeling of killing yourself was really quite refreshing.

The scholar continued to cross his fingers and arch them upward, blocking Xu Zhenrong's channel for taking raw materials.

The Bai He Boy was invited down again.

The recent spirit-inviting had been too frequent, but the boy was not annoyed and was always on call to provide door-to-door service intimately.

Although he was trying hard to cover it up, one could still see that his momentum was no longer as sufficient as before.

No way, Lin Lin Shu You was spirit-inviting continuously in a weak state, and the descending boy still had to use his own power to maintain Lin Lin Shu You's body time and time again, which was equivalent to paying money to the foreman in exchange for being able to work day and night.

Those yin gods didn't care about the boy's body; one reason was that their divine power was too precious.

However, the boy still had progress, which was to try hard to cover it up while at the same time showing his fatigue just right.

In short, you have to let the leader see your work results, and you also have to let the leader see your hard work.

Logically speaking, the Bai He Boy without the needle was not a match for "himself" in the needled state, and the one kneaded from thirty black shadows as raw materials had stronger endurance.

But the fact was, the Bai He Boy didn't spend so much effort this time to block "fake Lin Lin Shu You."

Because Zhao Yi was sitting in the back, constantly manipulating the formation.

The formation wasn't complicated; it was three miniature small formations, and the small formation flags were also taken directly from Lin Lin Shu You's bag.

But it was precisely this kind of simple formation that made "fake Lin Lin Shu You's" figure appear to sway obviously every time he walked, and his speed simply couldn't be increased;

Every time he wanted to condense a trident, it would become illusory halfway through, and then dissipate.

Even the talisman needles inserted on his body that should have been used for "decoration" began to sway, creating new obstruction effects.

Just like this, "fake Lin Lin Shu You" had powerful strength but simply couldn't exert it.

The Bai He Boy only needed to attack when necessary to prevent the other party from destroying the formation, and he could drag the other party here all the time.

However, the Bai He Boy didn't feel relaxed at all in his heart; he kept turning his head and using his vertical pupils to sweep over Zhao Yi during the intervals.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yi was now "one of his own" and had a good relationship with that youth, the boy might not have ignored the imposter in front of him now, but would have used the trident to poke Zhao Yi a few times.

Because this guy had clearly investigated the steps, techniques, and divine power of the official generals long ago and had researched countermeasures.

This was also the reason why Li Li Zhuiyuan could cooperate so well with Zhao Yi this time, because Li Li Zhuiyuan also knew the flaws in the abilities of his partners very well.

If Xu Zhenrong were given a second chance, she would definitely consciously avoid these flaws, but the problem was, she had no chance.

Zhao Yi: "I was just pondering idly when I was bored, thinking about handing it over to you after summarizing it, to help you improve and improve."

It seemed that he himself knew that this statement was not very convincing, so Zhao Yi hurriedly changed the subject, pointed at Xu Zhenrong who was wearing a mask, and asked unkindly:

"Hey, you aren't actually needed here, why don't you go solve her?"

Xu Zhenrong was still standing there, crossing her fingers, constantly trying, but unfortunately, whichever one she tried, Li Li Zhuiyuan blocked it.

At this time, Lu Runsheng, covered in blood, appeared in another area with a Yellow River shovel in his hand, and smashed it hard at the empty space in front of him with all his strength!

"Bang!"

There was a sound like glass breaking; the obstruction of the line of sight was dismantled, and inside sat an Xu Zhenrong who was not wearing a mask; this was her main body.

Because her whole heart and soul were entrusted to the self wearing the mask, the main body here reacted very slowly, mainly because she didn't expect that she could be found here.

When Lu Runsheng was knocked away for the second time before, Li Li Zhuiyuan said a string of numbers to Lu Runsheng; this was actually the simplified orientation formula Lu Runsheng used to help him set up formations in the past, and the coordinates corresponding to the formula were where Xu Zhenrong's main body was hiding.

This woman, the self she revealed on the surface at the beginning, was actually a puppet.

Lu Runsheng seemed to feel that one shovel was not stable enough, so he slapped the shovel handle with his palm, the inner interlayer opened, and a string of evil-breaking talismans slid out from the shovel tube and stuck to Xu Zhenrong's body.

This kind of precious talisman paper was very abundant in Li Li Zhuiyuan's team; not only did everyone have it, but it could also be developed into various ways of hiding and triggering.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

A series of explosion sounds came, and Xu Zhenrong's body began to crack.

The moving face on her face first showed panic and bewilderment, and finally, all turned into a touch of relief.

Perhaps, she had long been tired of life here, but the previous investment and inertia no longer allowed her to choose to end it herself.

After so many years of suffering here, she could no longer distinguish whether she was doing it for the family or for her own unwillingness.

The scholar's figure appeared in front of Xu Zhenrong, who was already severely cracked; he had deliberately gone to Zhao Yi and the boy who didn't need help before to create an opportunity for Lu Runsheng's sneak attack.

Xu Zhenrong turned her cracked pupils and looked at Lu Runsheng who was still stabbing her to death with a shovel beside her:

"He practices Qin family body-refining technique, right? Then you are..."

Scholar: "I am the current Qin family river-walker."

"Sure enough, it's the Qin family..."

Xu Zhenrong let out a sigh with a hint of playfulness:

"Sigh, truly teaching the apprentice and starving the master..."

As soon as the words fell, her body completely disintegrated and ended completely.

And the masked woman who was still standing there, crossing her fingers and continuing to play the blocking inverted cone game with Li Li Zhuiyuan, froze.

"Boom!"

First, a piece of bright red flame erupted from her body, followed by masks of various colors emerging and rotating, but they couldn't find a target to stick to nearby.

The masks dissolved rapidly and merged with the flames that were about to dissipate; in an instant, the red reality flames turned into ghost flames targeting the soul, and then rushed up again, only then completely annihilated.

She designed the masked person disguised as herself into a suicide bombing trap.

It's just a pity that from beginning to end, Li Li Zhuiyuan never went there, didn't capture the thief first to capture the king, which made her explode for nothing.

Ten, thirty, sixty, kneading three to make a whole hundred; this was intentional.

Tan Tan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief; he fell for this cognition and immediately shouted at Zhao Yi: "Then why did you shout 'one hundred percent rest assured' to Xiao Yuan brother just now?"

When hearing this, Tan Tan Wenbin thought Zhao Yi was reminding Xiao Yuan brother of the number of one hundred black shadows.

Zhao Yi shrugged: "That sentence of mine wasn't shouted for your Xiao Yuan brother to hear, it was shouted for that woman to hear, letting her think that we two didn't see it."

Whole hundreds, this data looks fake at a glance; it turns out that your ability hasn't grown for so many years, and it just happens to be stuck on an integer and doesn't change, right?

This kind of mind can probably have miraculous effects in normal battles, but in front of Zhao Yi and Li Li Zhuiyuan, it is a bit of a minor wizard in front of a great wizard.

Li Li Zhuiyuan believed that Zhao Yi didn't deliberately give himself the wrong hint, because Zhao young master didn't need to do this; this wave hadn't ended yet, the hidden mastermind hadn't appeared, and Zhao Yi would only be more concerned about his own safety than himself.

Scholar: "I'll go up first."

Zhao Yi: "Do you need us together?"

"No need, formations don't need many people."

The scholar's figure left and headed to the floor above.

Yu Miaomiao was about to be suppressed to death by Zhen Shao'an.

She had the strength and speed but simply couldn't exert them; if there was no external intervention, she could only die in this endless grievance.

Zhao Yi: "Is your Xiao Yuan brother going to save that cat?"

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Should be."

Zhao Yi: "It's quite surprising that the Li guy actually has such love and will care for and protect small animals."

Tan Tan Wenbin: "Our Xiao Yuan brother has always been kind to people and kind to beasts."

Zhao Yi yawned, looked up at the top of the tower, and his gaze focused on the bell on the top of the tower; he seemed to have thought of something, stopped yawning halfway, and then "hehe" a sound, somewhat low and said:

"I'm going to owe the Li guy a life."

The scholar had just arrived at the floor above when a giant eye appeared under his feet.

Obviously, Zhen Shao'an had been prepared for a long time.

Inside the high tower, Li Li Zhuiyuan began to take steps.

On the negative second floor, the scholar was also taking steps.

The giant eye that could have bound everything above seemed to have lost its magic at this moment; the scholar walked on it as if walking on flat ground.

Zhen Shao'an's eyes widened, and he had to temporarily give up continuing to suppress that cat, turning to deal with this scholar seriously.

Only to see Zhen Shao'an waving his hand to deploy a formation.

Inside the high tower, Li Li Zhuiyuan also made the same action.

Both sides each waved a formation in the middle; under the collision of the formations, they collapsed and dissipated at the same time.

A look of shock appeared on Zhen Shao'an's face; he had a feeling that he was looking in a mirror.

Next, Zhen Shao'an continued to deploy formations non-stop, while the scholar just wandered.

Zhen Shao'an's expression gradually became gloomy; every time his new formation was deployed, the other party could quickly capture the life gate and death gate, and after switching between them, walk out calmly.

And the other party, as if to express a kind of faint arrogance and disdain, actually didn't counterattack the formation he deployed.

This was a misunderstanding by Zhen Shao'an.

Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't choose to counterattack because he was clear that his counterattack was the same as the other party's attack; neither could do anything to the other.

As for this expression... the scholar just had this face and this temperament.

Li Li Zhuiyuan inside the high tower was actually quite serious; the other party's means of deploying formations had clearly been tempered through hundreds of battles and was very worth learning and absorbing.

Of course, Li Li Zhuiyuan was very clear that this was not purely teaching time.

Although he didn't counterattack, he kept changing the formations Zhen Shao'an deployed, punching a small hole in each formation, small enough for a cat to pass through.

When entering this secret realm, Li Li Zhuiyuan didn't choose the formation gate among the three stone gates because he felt that he didn't need further study in formations for the time being.

The situation was indeed so; in terms of formation understanding, Zhen Shao'an really had nothing he could teach him; what he could learn was just the technique of deploying formations, which he should have studied while alive, and after death, he had such a good environment for deploying formations, so he studied it very well.

Li Li Zhuiyuan was very satisfied with his research results.

But since there was no way to open the gap in formation intensity, the two sides were still on the same starting line, which could be considered a match for an opponent; at this time, any side gaining extra help would be enough to break this balance.

Soon, Zhen Shao'an seemed to finally notice something; he said incredibly: "You can also borrow the jade pillars here!"

This was the partial permission he had finally obtained after lurking here for so many years; why did this person in front of him also have it?

Scholar: "Is it very strange?"

Zhen Shao'an: "Of course it's strange; I know you aren't the person standing at the top of the tower at the beginning; you are that youth who entered the tower!"

Scholar: "Oh."

Zhen Shao'an: "How on earth did you do it?"

Scholar: The scholar pinched his eyebrows, and the youth inside the high tower made the same action.

He had already stuck the architect's half-piece of face skin on his face; wasn't it very normal to gain a little bit of permission?

However, Li Li Zhuiyuan was clear that Zhen Shao'an didn't really want to know about this, at least not as urgently as he expressed.

After the other party discovered that he could also borrow "classroom equipment," he realized what might have happened during this period of time; he was already re-checking the formation traces he had deployed before to see if there were any changes.

But unfortunately, Li Li Zhuiyuan wouldn't give him this time.

The scholar raised his right arm, as if wanting to snap his fingers.

This was his habit before, but considering that Zhao Yi had already snapped his fingers just now, the youth suddenly didn't want to snap them.

Finally, he could only clap his hands very ordinarily.

"Pa!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Continuous formation roaring sounds came.

The movement was very loud, but the destructive power was very small, because they were all controlled by Zhen Shao'an.

Zhen Shao'an smiled: "If the you I saw on the bottom floor at the beginning was your real age, I admit, you are the true formation genius I have seen in my life.

But no matter how good the talent is, it needs time to irrigate.

You, now, are still a bit green.

Next time you do these little tricks, the speed must be faster, more decisive; at the beginning, I really didn't expect that you could also borrow the environment here to manipulate the formation; you actually really had a great opportunity.

It's a pity that our communication time is too short; when you entered here, you should have chosen my gate; I could have taught you well again, no, it should be considered mutual exchange."

Li Li Zhuiyuan could hear that Zhen Shao'an's words carried a bit of sincerity; it was a mentality of a senior teaching a junior.

Even if the two sides were opponents, even if the two sides were destined to be life-and-death, it still couldn't stop the recognition of some characteristics on the other party.

The scholar nodded and said: "Then let's exchange."

The scholar reached out his hand.

The previous formation explosion didn't have much impact on the already deployed formation, but Li Li Zhuiyuan's purpose wasn't for this; he needed to use the collective movement of so many formations to stir up the feng shui climate here, which was originally a pool of stagnant water.

The climate appeared and was mastered by the scholar; subsequently, the scholar fell downward, penetrated the formation membrane at a very fast speed, and injected this feng shui power into the formation below.

Zhen Shao'an's eyes showed confusion at first, but soon he seemed to understand something and couldn't help but exclaim: "Genius move!"

Integrating the feng shui climate with the formation, just thinking about it makes people feel incredible, let alone being able to witness it with their own eyes in reality.

Li Li Zhuiyuan was not surprised at all by Zhen Shao'an's excited reaction; this was Wei Zhengdao's formation innovation.

Climate enters the game, strong break formation.

Although he could try to remedy it, Zhen Shao'an had already intended to admit defeat and give up struggling; what he was more interested in now was:

"How to learn this?"

"Must first practice 'Liu Family Qi-Gazing Formula'."

"Oh... are you a Liu family member?"

"I am the current Liu family river-walker."

Zhen Shao'an looked at Li Li Zhuiyuan, then looked at Yu Miaomiao who had broken the formation and was about to pounce on him.

He said in a tone that was between crying and laughing:

"It seems that there is a high and low gap between Dragon King families and Dragon King families."

Although Yu Miaomiao was using the black-dressed woman's body now, he, Zhen Shao'an, knew Yu Miaomiao's real age.

Descendants of the same age, one could make him feel amazed, and could even teach him the way of formations; the other, the more he looked, the more she looked like a fool.

Zhen Shao'an asked: "I can understand why you don't become an immortal, but why don't you even want the tribute offerings? This is of great benefit to your family."

Li Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "I only need to grow up, and the family will revive; there is no need to pin it on those illusory things."

Zhen Shao'an: "In the formation dojo, there is a crystal version of the book I left behind, which records my improved insights on formation deployment techniques.

Then, I hope you can stop this disaster.

The three of us were just chess pieces of that person; that person hasn't come out yet."

"Hmm."

"Saying these things is not because I regret it or have a change of heart, but because I lost."

"I know."

"You are the same as Zhao Wuyang; if you become the Dragon King later, I am convinced. Here, I congratulate you in advance with a 'congratulations'."

Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

"Meow!"

Yu Miaomiao broke through the broken formation, came to Zhen Shao'an, and with sharp claws and sharp fangs wrapped in rich corpse demon energy, tore Zhen Shao'an to pieces!

After the humiliation of being suppressed by the formation was vented, Yu Miaomiao turned around and stared vigilantly at the scholar.

The scholar ignored her and turned to walk toward the high tower; on the way, he checked the silk threads on his body, because he had been avoiding hard collisions and hadn't taken powerful action, so not many silk threads were broken, and most of the state was basically retained.

Below, Lin Lin Shu You saw the scholar solve that formation master again and couldn't help but sigh: "This corpse is so powerful..."

Zhao Yi sighed, reached out and hugged Lin Lin Shu You: "You really need to learn from that boy adult of yours how to flatter."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Did I, not flatter well?"

Zhao Yi: "Flattered very well, but flattered on the horse's leg."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Ah?"

Zhao Yi: "The Li guy has used his own ability from beginning to end; that corpse, until now, has only provided him with a relatively qualified adult body.

No wonder the river water didn't wait for him to grow up and was in a hurry to pull him into the water; if we really wait for this guy to grow up, then we people won't have anything to play with!

If I were him, I would simply admit defeat by lighting the lamp twice; even if I don't walk the river, just wait for him to grow up and practice martial arts and then..."

Zhao Yi froze; he suddenly thought of a possibility:

"Damn it, this Li guy, won't he be unable to light the lamp?"

The scholar outside the tower walked to the tower door, and Li Li Zhuiyuan inside the tower also walked to the tower door; the two looked at each other, then lowered their heads together and said at the same time:

"How much longer, are you going to hide?"

"I know."

"Like Zhao Wuyang, if you become the Long Wang later, I will be convinced. Here, I offer my congratulations in advance."

Li Li Zhuiyuan nodded.

"Meow!"

Yu Miaomiao broke through the shattered formation and arrived before Zhen Shaoan; her sharp claws and pointed fangs, wrapped in a dense aura of corpse-demon, tore Zhen Shaoan to pieces!

After venting the humiliation of having just been suppressed by the formation, Yu Miaomiao turned around and stared vigilantly at the Scholar.

The Scholar ignored her and turned to walk toward the high tower. During his progress, he checked the silk threads on his body. Because he had been avoiding head-on collisions and had not used powerful moves, the threads had not broken much, and he had basically preserved most of his state.

Below, Lin Lin Shu You saw the Scholar solve that formation master again and couldn't help but exclaim, "This corpse is so powerful..."

Zhao Yi sighed and reached out to put his arm around Lin Lin Shu You: "You really need to learn from that Master Master Tongzi of yours on how to flatter properly."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Am I not flattering well?"

Zhao Yi: "You're flattering well, but you're flattering the horse's leg."

Lin Lin Shu You: "Huh?"

Zhao Yi: "The one surnamed Li has been using his own abilities from beginning to end. That corpse, up until now, has only provided him with an adult body that is relatively qualified for him.

No wonder Jiang Shui didn't wait for him to come of age before rushing to drag him into the water. If we really waited for this guy to come of age, then we bunch of people might as well give up!

If I were him, I would just light the lamp a second time and admit defeat. Even if I didn't walk the river, I would just wait peacefully to grow up, practice martial arts, and then..."

Zhao Yi froze; he suddenly thought of a possibility:

"Damn it, this guy surnamed Li, he wouldn't be unable to light the lamp, would he?"

The Scholar outside the tower walked to the tower gate, and Li Li Zhuiyuan inside the tower also walked to the tower gate. The two locked eyes, then lowered their heads together and spoke simultaneously:

"How much longer are you going to hide?"
