, real and unreal, echoed from all directions.Within the formation, dragons soared and tigers leaped. The Xuan Yan and Xue Hou Ghost Kings had been completely submerged within it, and from time to tim...“Indeed, Xiong Manzi, although the three of us are powerful, the Misty Hall's restrictions are too peculiar. Many areas cannot withstand our strength. Otherwise, we wouldn't have spent so much time for nothing beforehand. In this strange place, wanting to gain something is not just about having strength. It's fortunate that this kid is also an array master. I see that your killing intent should be restrained. Although your Northern Territory Snow Bear clan has had many conflicts with the human race, killing one more or less of these silver-haired youngsters doesn't make much difference. Do you really think you can exterminate all human cultivators” The Ghost Sovereign riding the two-headed Corpse Vulture also spoke up.

"I originally thought this fellow was low in cultivation and useless, of course, it would be easier to just kill him. However, since he has some use value, naturally I should keep him. Ba'er, come back." Xiong Ao's ferocious eyes flashed, and he commanded loudly.

Bear-ty immediately withdrew after hearing this, his round eyes staring daggers at Lu Xiaoteng.

At this time, after being forced out of the black and white double bowls by Xiong Ba, Lu XiaTian had fought with him for dozens of moves. This Xiong Ba was exceptionally strong, not only with surging demonic power but also with immense physical strength. Lu XiaTian wielded the Splitting Earth Knife, fighting desperately. Without using other trump cards, under Xiong Ba's attacks, every move was fraught with danger. Xiong Ba was extremely fast. If it weren't for Lu XiaTian having several primordial spirits and shadow clones that could constantly distract Xiong Ba's attention, he probably wouldn't have lasted this long.

Hearing Xiong Ao's order to stop the attack, Lu Xiaotien finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, what kept him alive at this critical moment was not his own strength, but his attainments in formation. Lu Xiaotien couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. Sometimes, survival is not just about strength, luck is also very important. Of course, if his strength were strong enough to make two Yuan Ying old monsters and a shape-shifting demon cultivator all pay attention to him, he wouldn't have encountered the danger in front of him at all.

“Boy, I'll spare your life for now. Follow us from behind. If you can achieve meritorious service, not only will I spare your life, but I might even give you some rewards.” The Ghost Venerable’s skin was stretched tight over his bones, making him look like a ghost cultivator. However, there were still traces of human cultivator characteristics about him, and the dead air emanating from him wasn't pure like that of a typical ghost cultivator. He looked at Lu Xiaitian with a sinister smile.

"How senior says, how junior acts." Lu Xia Tian gasped heavily at this time, secretly feeling lucky in his heart. Xiong Ba's wolf strike was like a sudden storm, dozens of moves. Relying on the strength of his soul, he continuously predicted Xiong Ba's attacks. He had already reached his limit by surviving until now. If Xiong Ba attacked again, if he wanted to survive, he had to use other trump cards. The Soul Devouring Dafa was too against the heavens; the increase in strength in a short period of time was something even Yuanying cultivators couldn't ignore. If it wasn't for Chi Yun Sang appearing in time and speaking up, at this point, he estimated that even if he didn't die, he would be captured by the two Yuanying old monsters or that Xiong Ao demon cultivator for a questioning. With his current strength, even if his mind was as firm as steel, under the interrogation of Yuanying cultivators, he estimated that he wouldn't be able to keep his secrets safe. In a way, Chi Yun Sang really helped him a lot this time.

The nascent soul cultivator spoke, and Lu Xia Tian's voice was not at all affected by the fact that he had almost been killed just now. He responded with extreme calmness.

"It's best that you think of it this way naturally."

Just Heart Daoist nodded slightly. A young man who resembled him quite a bit, named Jue Yuan, closely followed Chi Yun Sang as they descended from the hole in the ceiling that had been opened by breaking the seal. He also wore a sword at his waist and held the hilt, making him appear even sharper. In Lu Xia Tian's eyes, this person seemed like a blade that could be unsheathed at any moment, slicing through everything.

“Bear熬, you have a son with formidable strength. Juexin Lao Gui, your disciple, has also received your true teachings, and he has even taken on a disciple in the late Golden Core stage. Previously, all my disciples were useless and died out. It's rare to encounter two promising ones, so these two will belong to me.” The Ghost Venerable let out a strange laugh, and the black qi around him was like chains, extending from his body like tentacles, towards Lu Xia Tian and Tie Shi She at the same time.

“That Iron Corpse armor possesses considerable strength, you may take it freely. However, if this Formation Master were to be entirely at your disposal, it wouldn't be fair to us. Let him serve us jointly, so that we can remain impartial.”

The Absolute Heart True Person coldly said a sentence, with his left hand drawing a stroke in the void, a terrifying blade energy directly blocked in front of Lu Xiaoteng, pushing back that black chain-like tentacle.

"That's right, since he is an array master, it is possible for someone who doesn't belong to any side to remain impartial. I think the old monster Juexin makes sense." Xiong Ao crossed his arms and said calmly.

The Ghost Venerable let out a cold snort, but he didn't say much. He couldn't go against the others; although they three had come together, if something really happened and the other two opposed him, unless he made a big fuss with them, he wouldn't insist further. So he retracted the black smoke that was binding Lu Xiaoteng, but another tentacle surged forward unhindered towards the iron corpse scabbard.

The Iron Corpse Sheath's eyes were filled with terror, devoid of the arrogance and composure he had displayed while pursuing Lu Xia Tian. His intestines churned with regret; he never expected that chasing after Lu Xia Tian would lead to encountering three formidable Nascent Soul stage cultivators. He desperately wanted to flee, but the air around him felt like quicksand, trapping him immobile. The black, slender tentacles extending from Ghost Venerable's withered body had crossed a distance of over a thousand zhang, reaching Iron Corpse Sheath's side. They encircled him, binding him tightly.

The iron corpse sheath, bound by the ghost sovereign's hand, let out a heart-wrenching scream. Its body, which was impervious to even magic weapons, felt like it was being constricted by an inescapable demonic vine. The iron corpse sheath howled in agony as it writhed on the ground.Initially, Lu Xia Tian was taken aback. He hadn't expected the iron corpse sheath, comparable to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, to be so helpless before the Yuan Ying ancestor. But upon closer inspection, he saw that the black tentacles seemed to have threads of black light flickering through them, piercing the iron corpse sheath's tough and formidable body. They went straight into its internal organs, seemingly binding its soul.The powerful iron corpse sheath was now writhing in pain, struggling desperately but unable to break free from the seemingly ordinary tentacles.

After a short while, the Iron Corpse Sheath lay on the ground, breathing weakly. The black tentacles of the Ghost Venerable also retracted back into its body, as if they had never appeared at all. However, Lu Xia Tian glanced at the Iron Corpse Sheath and found that there was an extra ring of black markings on its neck, its aura and shape were exactly the same as the black tentacles of the Ghost Venerable.ly strong in their full-frontal defense against the blizzard, were relentlessly attacking. Unaware of Lu Xiaoteng's approach, he merely flicked out a punch, shattering the already weakened totemic pow...
