t that their calculations differed. Under these similar conditions, neither side could gain much advantage through calculations alone; they were all trying to create a situation more favorable to them...With a hum, Yang Shuo and the elderly woman Liu Yushi attacked the barrier formed by the layer of mist before them. Their successive attacks were like plunging into a cotton ball, their fierce strikes sinking deeper and deeper, causing an increasingly powerful rebound force to build up inside.

Later, even Yang Shuo and Liu Yushi, the two true immortals, couldn't withstand the recoil force. The two figures were sent flying back.

That tremendous force sent both Yang Shao and his companion reeling.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to do my best, it's just that the rebounding force within this restriction is very strange. The attack is weak, the rebound is weak, and vice versa, the stronger the attack, the stronger the rebound."

Liu Yushi bowed to Wu Yanshan and Wu Zhongli, her face flushed with shame. "Perhaps we should let this Eastern Daoist friend give it a try"

“Liu Daoist, the two of you joined forces and still couldn't win. What good results could I expect by going alone You just want to see me make a fool of myself. As for what secrets are hidden within this phantom ox, I'm not really interested. As long as I can follow Wu Daoist and his group and leave this cursed place, that's all that matters.”

Lu Xia Tian smiled upon hearing this, “The dense fog outside is clearly no ordinary restriction. It requires a master of formations to break it, brute force alone will be useless.”

“Perhaps the attacks of the Eastern Daoist friend are unique and just happen to be effective against the restrictions inside.”

Lu Xiaoteng killed the cultivators from Yin Feng Valley first, even if they were only a few immortals, one of them was Yang Shuo's nephew. Naturally, Yang Shuo and Lu Xiaoteng's relationship couldn't be good.

"Whether it works or not, it's always good to try. It's only right that a few of us put in some effort. We can't have me and Liu Daoist take action, while only Dongfang Daoist contributes with words."

"That depends on Master Wu's decision. Since these random attacks are not very effective, even if we put in more effort, I think the three of us should work together to increase the intensity of our attacks. Perhaps that's the only way we have a chance. Otherwise, this turn-based attack is just a waste of energy and Master Wu's time."

Although Lu Xiaitian seldom spoke, he was by no means dull-witted. His sharp tongue left Yang Shao and the others with nothing to gain.

"Several fellow cultivators, please calm down. We have brought someone proficient in formations." Wu Yanshan extended his hand to stop the argument among several people, shifting his attention to Xiang Qingcheng and the others.

"Since we're all free anyway, why don't we each go and take a look After all, one person's perspective is limited, but many perspectives make for a richer understanding. We can gather again after personally examining the situation and discuss our findings." Tan Qiuhuai suggested with a gentle smile.

"Well then, I'll be in your debt. "

Wu Yanshan nodded. He could naturally see that Tan Qiuhu had a different intention from Xiang Qingcheng, but Tan Qiuhu's own formation skills were not weak either. This time, as long as he could achieve his goal, any array master could play a role. Wu Yanshan was unlike Wu Zhongli, who had many thoughts tied to Xiang Qingcheng.

“Qiansi, you are too kind.” The man standing beside Xiang Qingcheng and Tan Qiuhua, named Qi Bin, bowed his hand.

>

Xiang Qingcheng, Tan Qiuhua, and Qi Bin flew towards the misty area outside the phantom of the imprisoned ox.

“Please, the three of you come forward and protect the three formations for everyone.” Wu Yanshan then looked at Lu Xiaitian and the others.

Lu XiaTian nodded, this time without any haggling and soared into the air, standing behind Xiang QingCheng.

Wu Zhongli saw Lu Xiaottian's actions and his brows furrowed involuntarily, but soon relaxed. This silver-haired true immortal was just an ordinary small sect from a minor faction. How could he compare to the orthodox lineage of his immortal class Whether in terms of strength or status, he was far inferior to him. What did it matter if he cared about the threat of such a person However, Lu Xiaottian directly chose to protect Xiang Qingcheng, which still made Wu Zhongli feel a little uncomfortable. It felt like something he liked had been coveted by others.

At this time, Wu Zhongli didn't see Xiang Qingcheng's slightly raised lips at the corner of her mouth as she faced away from these people.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Tan Qiuhuai held up a gossip plate in her hand. The gossip plate flew into the air and began to rotate slowly. The gossip plate was like a small whirlpool, drawing in part of the thick fog and introducing it into the gossip plate. Taking advantage of this fog, she tested the restrictions in this area.

Qi Bin then took an ink pot, and poured it into the air. A mass of ink-like celestial object flowed out from within. This mass of ink seemed to possess a startling spirit, spreading towards the distant mist. However, in its spread, it would extend many paths, wide or narrow, apparently probing the operating manner of the restrictions here.

Xiang Qingcheng's method was similar to Tan Qiuhua's. She extended her fingers and flicked them into the void, causing a shimmering emerald light to distort in mid-air into a blank jade talisman. This talisman floated towards the distance, where the thick fog invaded the talisman, leaving faint or deep imprints.

Lu Xia Tian nodded inwardly, all three first sought stability and tested the restriction methods. They were similar in principle, progressing from shallow to deep. They didn't employ any startling techniques, just that an individual's mastery of formations wasn't judged by how astounding their techniques were, but by the different effects achieved when they wielded various methods.

After all, the three of them wanted to extend into the depths of the Misty Restriction. Unlike Yang Shuo and Liu Yu before, who simply attacked the restriction, a slight carelessness would result in a more severe backlash from the restriction. Even Yang Shuo and Liu Zu had not fared well before. When they came down, their expressions were not lighthearted either. And the three of them were still only at the level of immortals. Once the restriction retaliated, it would be difficult for the three of them to withstand it alone, and a slight carelessness could lead to serious consequences.

Wu Yanshan seems to be well-versed in this as well, which is why he let Lu Xiaitian and the others go forward. If something were amiss, they would protect Xiang Qingcheng and the others from harm.

While Wu Yanshan and Wu Zhongli stayed behind, they prioritized conserving their strength before the true crisis arrived. They aimed to maintain peak condition at all times, ready to handle any unforeseen emergencies.

Wu Yanshan also took Wu Zhongli into consideration. The Wu family had many outstanding descendants, not just one or two. If Wu Zhongli lacked good self-control and the ability to analyze the situation properly, he would naturally have to give way to more outstanding younger generations within the family. Wu Zhongli was also aware of this, which is why he remained relatively restrained in front of Xiang Qingcheng.

At this time, Cheng, Tan Qiuhu, and Qi Bin were still probing the depths of the mist restriction. From shallow to deep, that ink cloud had spread countless branches, large and small, within the mist in the void, tracing the trajectory of the power of the restriction's operation.

Both Tan Qiuhu and Xiang Qingcheng's deductions are progressing similarly. However, as the three further deduce the restrictions, they can increasingly feel the powerful repulsive force within the restrictions.

The expressions on the three people's faces were noticeably more serious than before.

Unlike Yang Shuo and Liu Yushi who primarily used brute force to probe, Xiang Qingcheng's approach was more targeted. She channeled the power of the backlash from the forbidden arts back into the barrier itself. This caused the previously unyielding mist within the barrier to become slightly chaotic, beginning to churn and swirl everywhere.ey still have the strength to do so." Pi Xiu glared hatefully in Lu Xia Tian's direction before immediately leading the group of weak or injured demons out. Along the way, those with relatively weaker...
