"Brother Chen plans to ambush that person here?" Jin Yushan looked at the projection, feeling the scene was too shocking, and sensed a vague unease.
"What is this place?"
"It seems far more dangerous than the perilous area we accidentally wandered into before."
Hu Yanqing’s eyebrows twitched, showing some suspicion.
Chen Yuan’s expression carried a hint of solemnity as he slowly spoke,
"This place is called ’Sin City’ by the demons within the Ten Thousand Mountains. The origin of this name is unknown, but according to descriptions from predecessors, even the demons within the mountains are unwilling to step inside easily. It’s easy to lose one’s way, quite perilous, and cannot be explored deeply. There are also monsters inside, said to be very troublesome."
Chen Yuan informed the three Grand Protectors about the dangers of this place, but as for the rumors inside, saying there were traces of living beings, Chen Yuan was unsure of its truth and did not mention it.
Jin Yushan and the other two couldn’t help but show surprise and suspicion, "Since this place is dangerous, Brother Chen intends to set an ambush here?"
"Because there is no better choice!" Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, then said, "This place, demons do not wish to enter, can well hide our tracks. It will take some time for my men to deliver accurate news, and meanwhile, this is a good place to take shelter. Of course, I am not someone reckless in action; let’s inspect first before drawing conclusions. If feasible, we will only act at the periphery, not go deep. With our cultivation, it shouldn’t be a problem."
He said, laughing coldly,
"If they are following us, they will certainly come, and might even think it’s exactly what they wished for."
Jin Yushan and the others exchanged a glance, feeling that Chen Yuan’s reasoning was tight; it was a good plan.
"Brother Chen will make the decision, and we three will comply. When do we depart?"
"Let’s go now!"
"It’s possible that by now, they have already followed us and are currently beneath some subterranean stream." Chen Yuan never procrastinated, knowing someone was eyeing him was unbearable, and he wouldn’t feel comfortable until they were removed.
He flicked his sleeve, collecting the golden sand table in his hand. Then, golden flames surged from beneath to envelop the other three. It transformed into a fire dragon roll, breaking through the waterfall outside, soaring towards the southwest. After a few flashes, the fiery light dispersed, and the traces in the void quickly vanished.
.........
One day later, at a boundary between Yin Mountain and Xiao Cishan.
Unlike the vast green wilds within the Ten Thousand Mountains, here stretched a barren land for a thousand miles, with the ground bare, only faint traces of dried riverbeds, dead trees, and endless winds and sands visible.
As the fierce wind blew, sand waves rose on each dune like golden wheat waves rolling, only intermittently revealing a few ghastly white beast bones, dotted sparsely within the yellow sand sea.
And deep in the desert, the sight was magnificent, as the sky and earth were shrouded in white, the stormy dragon whirlwinds seemed capable of shredding all things, coarse and spanning several miles, utterly terrifying to behold.
This is the true Sea of Death, where no vitality exists, and the surrounding desert bears the marks left by those rampaging storms!
At this moment, under the blazing sun, the scorching sand blurred the air.
On the edge of the sand sea, atop a golden dune, a snow-white beast bone was half-buried under the yellow sand. Within the hollow eye socket of its skull, a tiny earth-colored lizard held its head up, motionless like a statue. Its eyes bulged outward on each side of its head, closed except for a thin slit.
Suddenly, without warning, a gust of wind arose on this dune, and the sand pile beneath began to move. Four streams of yellow sand twirled and gathered rapidly as if forming towers of sand, startling the lizard to immediately open its eyes. Its four feet seemed powered like motors as it frantically dashed down the dune.
In a breath, a hand emerged from nowhere, capturing the rushing little creature and pulling it back to fall into its grasp.
As the line of sight on the hand raised, the swirling sand piles solidified into four figures, the "Chicken Head Cutting Squad" who had been traveling by map!
Chen Yuan glanced at the captive little lizard, realizing it was ordinary, and casually tossed it away. The overly frightened little creature immediately scrambled off, burrowing into the sand where it disappeared.
"It seems this place is right, there’s hardly any living thing along the way, and the primordial qi here is scraped thin by those storms. Demons probably don’t dwell here, perfect for our concealment." Chen Yuan dusted the sand from his hands and his eyes flickered slightly.
Beside him, Jin Yushan, Yu Wenguang, and Hu Yanqing stood with eyes slightly raised, gazing far away, their expressions varied but all tinged with a hint of awe.
Far in the distance, dragon whirlwinds connected heaven and earth as if capable of destroying everything, with rolling clouds and flashes of thunder amidst the mist below.
Even from a hundred miles away, the intimidating presence could be felt!
Even they, being part of the Martial Vault, felt some degree of heart-throbbing.
No wonder this is the demon’s forbidden land!
Chen Yuan also lifted his head to gaze afar, from his perspective, although the distant storm was terrifying, it was also a perfect place for hiding and ambush.
"You all wait here, I’ll go ahead to explore for better spots." Chen Yuan spoke briefly, then lit up at his feet, transforming into a stream of light and shot forward.
Approximately 15 minutes passed before Chen Yuan returned.
"Brother Chen, how was it?" the three asked.
"I just reached 60 miles ahead to the storm’s fringes; there, the Wind Mastery blades emerge, and fog that can disturb perception and sight. But these don’t yet pose a real threat."
Then, with a wave of his Sky Flapping Sleeve, three General Flags with gold-edged black bases flew out from his sleeve, each half a zhang high.
They were indeed the Main General Flags of his Ninth Mountain!
These three flags flew to the front of Jin Yushan and the others, as Chen Yuan instructed, "These are the Mountain-cutting Banners of my Ninth Mountain. Each of you will manage one. Next, I’ll relay the Three Talents Trapped Dragon Formation, please open your Mud Balls."
"When the two formations overlap, with you three holding the line, and joining me and two fellow cultivators in controlling the Killing Array, it should be more than enough for that guy to drink his fill."
Don’t forget, Chen Yuan possesses an Array Formation Divine Power, which he previously passed to three Piaoqi under him for leading troops; he rarely used it himself, now it’s finally being utilized.
This Three Talents Trapped Dragon Formation, he rushed to master with exceptional insight.
Jin Yushan and the others nodded, first storing the Mountain-cutting Banners with a sleeve swipe, then sat cross-legged, circulating their qi. Chen Yuan directly made a sword finger gesture, unlocking the third eye between his brows and activating his Dharma Eye, releasing golden light divided into three, transmitting his top-level understanding of the Three Talents Trapped Dragon Formation into their brows.
The three groaned as they quickly absorbed this stream of information.
After about an hour, the three Grand Protectors thoroughly grasped the formation’s part they were responsible for and opened their eyes one by one. Usually, with such complex formations, it wouldn’t be possible so quickly, but this was Chen Yuan feeding them directly.
"How are you three?"
Chen Yuan, adjusting his qi nearby, also opened his eyes.
"This formation is fascinating, I didn’t expect Brother Chen to be so proficient in Martial Arts Six Arts, truly admirable."
Jin Yushan opened his eyes, a glint of admiration flashed in them, and he saluted Chen Yuan. His understanding of Brother Chen rose to a new level, internally feeling greater respect for the Colonel.
After all, the path of formation is profoundly challenging to even start with, presenting higher barriers than those for Talisman Masters or Pill Masters. To master it requires extensive time and effort.
"Just a minor skill!" Chen Yuan nodded lightly, "Have you all prepared?" freёweɓnovel_com
Jin Yushan and the others nodded.
"Then let’s begin!"
Chen Yuan’s eyes gleamed sharply, and then they vanished deeper into the desert.
Afterwards, calm returned to the area.
The sand waves rose, Star Shifting, and time slowly passed.
From day to night gradually, the sky’s Star River glittering, Star Shifting.
That day and night, where they disappeared, a roar was heard.
Followed by the sound of great waves and the mournful whistling of wind against sails.
