unwillingness, pierced the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like ice water splashed into boiling oil, it instantly ignited the entire Luo Yan Slope!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack——!!!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't the sound of a single piece of porcelain shattering, but the crisp, shattering din of thousands, tens of thousands of ceramic pieces fracturing and disintegrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came surging from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From deep underground, from every corner of the hillside, erupting simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shattering sounds surged like a tidal wave, ear-piercing and deafening, striking directly at the mind and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The danger alerts from the [Vanquish Demons and Exorcise Evil] system had gone completely haywire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense, packed red characters flashed frantically, instantly blotting out Lu Yuan's entire field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his vision would be nothing but a blur, leaving only a mountain and field covered in red characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, to the horrified gazes of the five, the originally barren ground of the hillside churned violently like a pot of boiling porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale, slender women's hands, their nails painted with various faded nail polishes, were the first to tear through the soil, breaking out of the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came in various forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had long, slender fingers like delicate green onion stalks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had sharp, pointed nails like sharpened blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some still had broken jade bracelets or twisted silver bracelets around their wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exception, the skin of these hands displayed a deathly, porcelain-white hue,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>gleaming with a cold luster under the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hands clawed open the earth, followed by arms, shoulders, heads, torsos...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, ten, a hundred, a thousand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless \"Porcelain Evil Spirits\" were \"growing\" out from underground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most maintained a female form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their bodies showed varying degrees of porcelainization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some only had a thin, cheap layer of white glaze covering their faces and arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their features were blurred, their eyes vacant, like defective pieces from a failed firing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had half their bodies as rough earthenware, the other half spliced with smooth, mirror-like celadon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the seams, dark red, gelatinous substances squirmed and flowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they moved, they emitted grating, creaking friction sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had completely lost any human shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were simply evil entities haphazardly pieced together from broken porcelain shards and dried bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Held together by a clinging resentment, they crawled on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scraping of porcelain shards against the earth produced a teeth-grating sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few, like the previous Young Master Sun, maintained astonishing beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their clothing was luxurious, their cloud-like hair adorned with floral ornaments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were always obvious joining lines or glaze cracks on their necks or wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within their eyes lay an inhuman coldness and greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were clearly the \"finished products\" or \"semi-finished products.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their malevolent energy was heavier, their movements more agile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the mountain and fields, under the moonlight, a surging \"ocean\" shimmering with various porcelain glazes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloying \"Painted Skin Fragrance\" mixed with the fishy smell of earth and the scorched odor of porcelain clay, forming a nauseating miasma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The miasma rapidly spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless pairs of eyes—some vacant, some resentful, some greedy—locked onto the five figures in the center of the ruins in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear mother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Erxiao's calves trembled uncontrollably, his throat parched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice quavered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this is way too many...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Cheng'an's face was also deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he gripped the peachwood ritual sword Shen Shulan had given him tightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lu... what do we do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shulan took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderlight flickered around her body once more, like lightning gathering for a strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't act rashly, instead looking towards Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shulan also understood that with such numbers of evil entities, a head-on fight was absolutely not the solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning heavenly thunder down, at most could blast ten or eight at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, there were hundreds, thousands, maybe even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her true energy was completely exhausted, she might not be able to blast all these Porcelain Evil Spirits clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master of this Luo Yan Slope hadn't even appeared yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Jiji silently drew his unremarkable family heirloom shortsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade was coated with a layer of ice-blue ghostly light, radiating a bone-chilling cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression grave, he swept his gaze over the slowly encircling tide of Porcelain Evil Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan's expression was solemn, his gaze sharp as a torch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had said that when dealing with this kind of \"quantitative change leading to qualitative change\" swarm of malevolent entities, the primary task was to divide, block, and avoid being surrounded and worn down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, one must find and attack the core to break the malevolent formation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan's gaze swept across the hillside like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Porcelain Evil Spirits weren't evenly distributed, nor were they completely chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to vaguely form an encircling formation based on five directional points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, around those \"finished\" or \"semi-finished\" beauty Porcelain Evil Spirits, more low-level porcelain evils often gathered, like stars surrounding the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five directions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corresponding to the Five Elements?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or the Five Direction Ghost Emperors...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan's thoughts raced for a moment before he immediately dismissed that idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 'Five Kiln Positions'!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When firing porcelain, different positions within the kiln receive different levels of fire, resulting in porcelain of varying quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was once a porcelain kiln. The distribution of these Porcelain Evil Spirits should also correspond to the kiln's layout!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Lu Yuan made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back to his senses, Lu Yuan looked at the four beside him who were clearly somewhat panicked. His voice was steady and powerful:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These Porcelain Evil Spirits are distributed according to 'kiln positions,' converging from five directions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to each guard one direction, using the principles of the Five Elements' generation and restraint to form a 'Minor Five Elements Evil-Locking Formation' to block their convergence, then find an opportunity to break their core!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan immediately declared loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Shulan, you guard the Southern Li Fire position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Fire overcomes Metal, and can also burn Yin porcelain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Thunder Techniques are supremely Yang and unyielding, precisely fire carrying thunder, at their most powerful. Use Thunder Techniques to bombard the southern Porcelain Evil Spirits!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially those with smooth glazes, the seemingly hard 'finished products'—burn them with thunderfire, shatter their porcelain bodies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lu Yuan turned to Tan Jiji:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Tan, you guard the Northern Kan Water position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kan Water moistens and descends, and can also wash away filth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Punishing the Netherworld family's methods lean towards Yin-softness and cold severity; you can simulate the 'True Water' energy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't attack head-on. Focus on maneuvering, infiltration, and freezing. Use your cold energy to slow the northern Porcelain Evil Spirits' movements!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pay special attention to those with lots of gelatinous substance—freeze them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, three talismans appeared in Lu Yuan's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed them towards Wang Cheng'an, shouting loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheng'an, you go to the Eastern Zhen Thunder position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhen represents Thunder, represents movement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your cultivation is shallow, but you're agile and run fast. I'm giving you three 'Divine Steed Talismans'—stick them on your legs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your task is to disrupt them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, another packet appeared in Lu Yuan's hand—startling evil powder made from cinnabar, sulfur, realgar, and iron rust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed it to Wang Cheng'an as well, shouting loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this packet of 'Startling Evil Powder'! Run wildly through the Porcelain Evil Spirit groups, scattering it as you go! Create chaos, draw their attention, don't let them easily form up and encircle us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Lu Yuan pulled out a gray-black mountain-breaking hammer from his system space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Lu Yuan last took out the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique Sword from his system space and the old man didn't even ask where it came from,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan had basically stopped pretending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan directly handed this mountain-breaking hammer to Xu Erxiao not far away, shouting loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guard the Western Dui Marsh position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dui represents Marsh, represents mouth, represents breaking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're strong! Take this 'Mountain-Breaking Hammer' and hold your ground right here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Porcelain Evil Spirits coming from the west are mostly rough earthenware, loosely pieced together. Use the hammer, smash them hard for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aim for the joints, the seams! One hammer strike can scatter a pile!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, hold firm! Don't retreat a single step!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After assigning all four, Lu Yuan positioned himself in the center, guarding the central Wu-Ji Earth position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth carries all things, and can also bury and conceal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan used the Earth Carrying Eight Directions Seal to stabilize the formation's foundation and coordinate with all four sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he needed to find the 'kiln heart' of this Porcelain Evil Spirit tide and break it in one move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan was definitely an exceptionally qualified leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a sudden change, he immediately deployed troops and arranged formations at the first moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't ask if it's right or wrong!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just ask if it's fast!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no joke. At some critical junctures, making a reaction, even if wrong, was better than standing there dumbly doing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if wrong, it could be corrected later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you stood there motionless, you were truly finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might not necessarily be wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Tan Jiji, the only outsider among the five, felt Lu Yuan's actions were useful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Jiji's eyelids twitched violently. He gave Lu Yuan a deep look, his heart surging with turbulent waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan didn't know Tan Jiji's strength, and similarly, Tan Jiji didn't know Lu Yuan's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, from yesterday until now, Lu Yuan had never displayed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely around twenty years old, facing this mountain-and-field-spanning ghost tide that would make even any seasoned Daoist expert's scalp explode,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had actually formulated such a clear deployment in just a few breaths, so decisive—his mental fortitude was truly formidable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when Tan Jiji saw this mountain-and-field of Porcelain Evil Spirits just now, aside from his scalp tingling and his mind going blank, he had no other thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Lu Yuan began deploying troops did Tan Jiji snap back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does everyone understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan's voice pierced through the shrieking friction of porcelain, clearly reaching everyone's ears, carrying an indisputable authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key to this formation lies in each guarding their position and coordinating with each other!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Shulan's thunderfire can help Xu Erxiao break open hard shells!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Tan's cold energy can slow down pursuers for Wang Cheng'an's raids!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will use earth energy as a guide, link the Five Elements, and amplify the formation's power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over everyone like a torch, finally settling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me the time it takes for one incense stick to burn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four responded in unison, their eyes resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deploy the formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan gave a low shout, taking the lead by stepping forward, his hands forming seals, Daoist orthodox syllables issuing from his mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu-Ji at the center, Earth Virtue profound and heavy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Carrying all things, upholding Heaven, suppressing and subduing demonic evils!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth Veins heed my command, all directions guard and support—rise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his words fell, Lu Yuan's right foot stomped heavily on the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Hum——!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick, solid, earthy-yellow halo centered on his feet abruptly expanded, forming a light circle about three zhang in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edges of the circle, faint mountain range illusions and flowing talisman patterns were visible, enveloping the five within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the foundation of the \"Minor Five Elements Evil-Locking Formation,\" borrowing earth energy to stabilize their side and weaken the erosion of external malevolent energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shulan's graceful figure flashed, already appearing at the southern formation position!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her jade-like fingers pointed like a sword, aimed directly at the two \"semi-finished\" beauty evils in the south with the most alluring figures and brightest porcelain glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear shout, like a phoenix cry reaching the Ninth Heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ninth Heaven Responding to the Origin, Thunder Sound Universally Transforming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jade Pivot Fire Mansion, Demon-Subduing True Flame—command!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What erupted from her palm was no longer scattered electric snakes, but a thunderous light pillar as thick as a bowl's mouth, blazing white to the point of being impossible to look at directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunderlight, like a dragon, tore through the night, carrying the terrifying might to incinerate all things, and blasted ruthlessly into the southern evil horde!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*BOOM!!!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderfire exploded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blazing white electric light and crimson true flame interwove into a net of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of low-level Porcelain Evil Spirits charging at the front didn't even have time to scream before being instantly vaporized into wisps of azure smoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two beauty evils emitted sharp, piercing shrieks, their bodies propping up a pink porcelain light shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under the scorching of the supremely Yang, unyielding thunderfire, the shield cracked and charred at a visible rate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their flawlessly beautiful faces twisted in agony, their gorgeous robes turned to flying ash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Tan Jiji's figure slid towards the north like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing those Porcelain Evil Spirits covered in sticky gelatinous substances, moving sluggishly, he didn't draw his sword, but instead sheathed the shortsword at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ten fingers rapidly plucked in front of him, as if strumming an invisible icy string.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low, deep incantation sounds spilled from his lips:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deep, dark Yellow Springs, obscure, hidden cold abyss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi congeals into frost, thoughts freeze into abyss—congeal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples of ice-blue cold energy, following the rhythm of his fingertips, silently spread outwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the cold energy passed, the moisture in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals, the ground covered with a layer of deathly white frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those Porcelain Evil Spirits that charged into the cold energy range suddenly stiffened, as if sinking into an invisible icy swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gelatinous substances flowing on their bodies rapidly lost activity, becoming dry, hard, brittle, emitting *crack crack* freezing sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of monsters completely pieced together from gelatin and broken bones were even directly frozen into grotesquely shaped ice sculptures, which then shattered with a crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Cheng'an received the talismans and the leather pouch, his face full of tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such a massive scene was a first even for Lu Yuan, let alone him, Wang Cheng'an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Cheng'an was only nervous, not afraid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately slapped the three \"Divine Steed Talismans\" onto his two legs and his back—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Whoosh!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talismans ignited into azure smoke, instantly merging into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Cheng'an only felt his legs lighten, wind seeming to sprout under his feet, his speed skyrocketing several times over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole person transformed into an afterimage, plunging straight into the densest evil horde in the east!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he sprinted wildly, he grabbed handfuls of the pungent, eye-stinging \"Startling Evil Powder\" from the pouch, scattering it everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, come on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Grandpa Wang is right here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't forget to shout strange cries at the top of his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powder fell on the Porcelain Evil Spirits, especially those low-level, low-intelligence earthenware ones, immediately sizzling like sulfuric acid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pungent azure smoke billowed, irritating them into emitting chaotic hisses, their movements becoming even more frenzied, even attacking their own kind nearby!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eastern Porcelain Evil Spirit tide instantly fell into great chaos, its advance speed greatly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the west, Xu Erxiao gripped the \"Mountain-Breaking Hammer,\" its talismanic patterns glowing hot, with both hands, standing firm like an iron tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hammer felt heavy in his hands, the evil-breaking talismanic patterns on the hammerhead faintly glowing hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode to the western formation position, standing there like an iron tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Porcelain Evil Spirits surging from the west were indeed mostly thick-bodied, pieced together from rough earthenware or heavy
