ed, and with the deliberate retreat of the Demon Valley forces, the encirclement began to shrink. The cultivators on both sides officially clashed, small squads tangling with each other in fierce and...In Li Baxian's residence, Lu Ye shared a drink with him by candlelight. As Lu Ye recounted his tale, Li Baxian gradually came to understand the Fox Fairy Valley's future plans.

"So it's about encircling and killing that Overlord-level demonic beast." Li Baxian looked enlightened. "No wonder I always felt something strange in the valley recently, and Fellow Daoist Yu also seemed preoccupied."

The friend he mentioned, Yu Dao You, is Yu Dai Wei. She has been visiting Li Ba Xian frequently these days to practice swordsmanship with him.

It's clear that Yu Daiwei has a certain fondness for Li Baxian, but their fourth senior brother doesn't seem to have much interest in her. He simply treats her as a like-minded fellow cultivator.

"That junior disciple needs to be careful himself, a boss-level monster beast... hey, I never thought I'd have the chance to fight one." He didn't seem nervous at all, but rather a bit excited.

The next morning, Lu Ye pushed open the door of his residence and walked straight towards the entrance of Fox Fairy Valley.

From afar, one could see over ten figures waiting on the other side. Leading them was Zhou Yuntian.

Lu Ye stepped forward and bowed to the crowd. Zhou Yuntian nodded, "Set off."

He said this, and took the lead. Everyone followed closely behind.

As for cultivation levels, Lu Ye is only at the fourth level while Xie Yunhan is at the seventh level. It's not particularly high. If they encounter a powerful monster, they might not be able to withstand it. Whether these two can set up a powerful enough formation is the key to this operation. While they are setting up the formation, Zhou Yuntai and the others must stay nearby.

As we journeyed forward, mythical beasts occasionally appeared along the way. Even with the utmost care, conflicts were unavoidable.

Although our team was made up of no more than a dozen people, and there were several who had reached the Ninth Layer Realm, we traveled smoothly without any major incidents along the way.

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

"Yes!" everyone responded, and then they all dispersed.

Now, only Lu Ye, Xie Yunhan, and Zhou Yuntai remained.

Xie Yunhan looked at Lu Ye with pleading eyes.

In terms of array mastery, he is inferior to Lu Ye, so this time the formation was mainly based on Lu Ye, with him as an auxiliary.

Instead of immediately starting on the formation, Lu Ye turned to Zhou Yuntian: "Zhou Daoist, I have a question."

Considering that the cultivators in the valley need to fight against berserk giant apes, the formation arrangements this time are mostly man-controlled formations, with few trigger-type formations.

For three whole days, Lü Ye and Xie Yunhan barely rested. Within a ten-li radius, they set up hundreds of formations, turning the area into a perilous trap.

In setting up these formations, Lu Ye spared no effort and shared all his knowledge without reservation.

Although the weakening of Huli Xian Gu's forces would be beneficial to him, he even planned to have the wolf pack surround and kill the fox demon after this war. However, the prerequisite was winning the battle against the raging giant ape.

If he even lost this battle, neither his nor Li Baxian's safety would be guaranteed. Therefore, no matter what, Lu Ye wouldn't dare to tamper with the formation when he was setting it up.

He had no clear idea of how powerful a dominant demon beast from the Yunhe Realm was, but just from the current state of Fox Fairy Valley, he could see that the strength of that raging giant ape would far exceed his expectations.

And then on the second day, when all the formations were in place, the fox demon led a multitude of fox fairies and cultivators to the scene.

All the people in Fox Fairy Valley were mobilized, not one was left behind. Over eighty cultivators gathered together. Zhou Yuntai stepped forward to report the situation here.

The fox demon listened intently and nodded approvingly at Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan. "Well done, you two. If this succeeds, you'll both be highly commended!"

Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan both wore expressions of joy and excitement. They said that serving the honored one was their duty, and their humble demeanor pleased the fox demon greatly.

The fox demon nodded. “You have a kind heart, since that’s the case, I shall do as you say!”

"Yes. Fellow cultivators, please follow me." Lu Ye said this, rising into the air and flying towards the area shrouded by the formation, with a vast crowd of cultivators following behind him.

Here is a lightning rod array…

"This is the hallucinatory array..."

As Lu Ye's explanations continued, the formation arrangement of the entire area appeared one by one in the minds of many cultivators. Cultivators have a strong memory, and combining what they see before their eyes, they can quickly sketch out a plan for the formation arrangement in their minds.

Zhou Yuntai's eyes lit up as he listened. He had participated in two operations targeting the berserk giant ape, and in the past, Xie Yunhan had been responsible for setting up the formations. However, Xie Yunhan's formations were nothing compared to this! The help provided by these formations to Fox Fairy Valley was not insignificant.

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

Though Lu Ye's arrangements of these formations were not particularly ingenious, at the very least they were quite impressive in appearance. This gave him a certain amount of confidence for this operation.

Moreover, Lu Ye made them familiar with the formation arrangement before taking action. Apparently, he was also considering them. Who knows, maybe they would really need it to save their lives later on.

An hour later, the crowd returned. Zhou Yuntai stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Honored one, we are ready."

The fox demon's alluring and misty eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent: "Act now. This time, no matter the cost, we must kill it!"

"I will not disappoint you!" The cultivators replied, their fighting spirit ignited.

Li Yè sighed inwardly. This time, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, these cultivators would certainly suffer heavy casualties. Controlled by the fox demon's mind, their hearts were at its mercy. The fox demon's orders were an unbreakable mission to them, even if the fox demon ordered them to die at this moment, they wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

More than ten figures walked out of the crowd, led by Zhou Yuntai, they rose into the air and flew in one direction. It was obvious they were going to lure the snake out of its hole.

This place is on the fringe of a powerful demon beast territory, so there are no traces of other demon beasts around. Flying here won't be a problem as we won't be attacked by any demon beasts.

Time keeps flowing. with a deafening roar!The protective arrays of the outer circle sects are generally weaker compared to those in the inner and core circles. This isn't due to the fact that Tai Luo sect lacked enough...
