Chapter 56: Taking the bait

When the energy in the formation was exhausted and the attack gradually stopped, the man was shivering in the corner, his clothes had been completely destroyed, and dense injuries covered his whole body. The burning of the flames and the strangulation of the sharp blade, He was seriously injured and unable to fight back.

Even the first-level high-grade Golden Bell Magical Artifact had a crack.

Zhou Daocheng couldn't help but take a breath when he looked at the situation in the formation.

The corpses had been burned to coke, the ground was deeply sunken, the earth, rocks and trees were turned into fly ash, leaving only some better-quality magic weapons, and some wreckage after being destroyed.

The power displayed by the [Splitting Gold Array] was stronger than he expected, especially if it was done with mental arithmetic but without intention, even the ninth-level Qi Refining experts would probably avoid its edge.

The only survivor, the Qi family monk, looked at Zhou Daocheng in horror. He wanted to run away, but his body could no longer support him and he could only curl up on the ground.

"Mo Yunshan Qi family? Isn't it amazing?"

The cold voice fell, followed closely by a mountain of spiritual energy that struck the man's head hard. There was only a "pop" sound, instantly depriving him of his life.

Seeing this scene, the deacon of the Spirit Snake Sect couldn't help but feel nervous, and at the same time he became more and more curious about the identity of his former intelligence.

To kill the Qi family monks so unscrupulously, he either had sufficient strength as a basis, or he had a bad mind. He did not think that the group of men in black in front of him was the latter.

However, he couldn't think too much now, because he had already seen that the leading man in black was already walking towards him.

Facing the indifferent eyes, the deacon of the Spirit Snake Sect summoned up all his strength to shout: "Don't kill me! Our Spirit Snake Sect is rich, so we can spend money to redeem me!"

Zhou Daocheng paused in his steps, secretly thinking that this person was quite smart, otherwise he wouldn't really know how to deal with him.

He made an appraising gesture, glanced around, and said calmly: "What is your name, and what kind of force is the Spirit Snake Sect?"

Seeing that the other party did not take action directly, the deacon breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "My name is Chen Jinyang, and I am the deacon of the Spirit Snake Sect. As for the Spirit Snake Sect... Seniors may not know something, but it is the Foundation Establishment Sect near the Blackwater Swamp. Because the founder of the sect tamed a mid-level second-level spirit snake, it was named the Spirit Snake Sect.”

Facing the pressure from Zhou Daocheng and others, this monk had no arrogance and wished he could answer ten questions.

Zhou Daocheng listened carefully in secret and carefully remembered the information about the Spirit Snake Sect in his mind. This was important information and was of great significance to future cooperation.

However, on the surface, he still waved his hands indifferently and said impatiently: "The strongest is only in the middle stage of foundation building. If you dare to act recklessly here, tie him up and take him back."

Chen Jinyang was shocked and secretly thought that the identity of these people was indeed not simple. They actually didn't even pay attention to the spirit snakes and monsters in the middle stage of foundation building. Combined with their previous vicious and vicious methods, it seemed that the power behind them was indeed extraordinary.

Chen Jinyang was brought back to the valley without any struggle and was very honest all the way.

But what surprised him was that when they reached a mountain of earth and rocks, they stopped, looked around and found that there was no road here.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw the leader running his spiritual energy, his right hand attached to the earth and rocks in front of him, and then the rocks in front of him trembled slightly and retracted directly into the ground.

Chen Jinyang's eyes widened. After careful inspection, he discovered that there were actually obscure formation patterns on the ground. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"It seems that this force is definitely not weak. There are formations arranged at the entrance, and it seems that the strength is not weak."

What surprised him even more was that this formation was always running, which consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

Generally speaking, the formation is usually in a stopped state. Only when it is needed, mana or spiritual stones will be input to supply the energy required for operation.

Only some extremely powerful forces with the support of powerful resources can maintain the operation of some important formations for a long time.

But now, just the defensive formation at the entrance can be maintained, which is enough to show the opponent's wealth.

But he didn't know that the formation in front of him was the first fusion formation created by Zhou Daocheng - the Earth Imperial Spirit Formation.

Because the Spirit Gathering Array supplies spiritual energy, it can be maintained continuously. The earth and rocks are used to block the only entrance, making the valley more hidden and preventing monsters and monks from approaching.

What he did unexpectedly made Chen Jinyang even more wary of the identities of Zhou Daocheng and others.

Chen Jinyang spoke carefully and asked: "Seniors, I can pay a ransom to buy my life. If you are not worried, the Spirit Snake Sect can deliver it in person. I wonder if you can let me live."

"A ransom for a life, what can you offer?"

Zhou Daocheng asked in a low voice.

Chen Jinyang felt extremely stressed and looked extremely troubled. He hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking: "I wonder what you seniors need, spiritual stones? Pills? Or talismans?"

"I wonder... are there any formation materials?" Zhou Daocheng turned his eyes and asked meaningfully.

Chen Jinyang was stunned for a moment, remembering the two formations he had seen before, and immediately reacted, looking at Zhou Daocheng with even more awe, and asked: "Is the senior a formation master?"

Meng Yueshan kicked him hard and said coldly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and answer honestly."

This kick to the chest made Chen Jinyang, who was already seriously injured, immediately turn purple, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth again, and his rough face was full of nervousness.

Zhou Daocheng stepped forward at the right time to stop Meng Yueshan's rough action, and said in a relatively gentle tone: "It's okay. Although I am not a formation master, there is an amazing senior in the sect who is proficient in one or two formations!"

"It's true!"

Chen Jinyang's eyes lit up. Although he had guessed this in his heart, he was still surprised when the other party said it in person.

"To be honest, senior, our Lingshe Sect occupies several first-level mines, and there are many materials suitable for refining qi and formations. If senior doesn't mind, I can use a batch of formation materials as ransom. I wonder what senior thinks?"

Chen Jinyang was humble and almost lowered his status to the lowest.

Zhou Daocheng looked at him calmly and said, "How can I trust you?"

Chen Jinyang's eyes turned and he smiled, "Senior, if we are just strangers, we naturally cannot trust each other, but if we are in a cooperative relationship, can you trust me?"

Hearing this, Zhou Daocheng's heart moved, a smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself, "I've taken the bait!"

From the beginning to the end, whether it was killing the Qi family cultivators to show his strength, or pretending to be the powerful Shanhai Sect, Zhou Daocheng had only one goal, that is, to cooperate with the Spirit Snake Sect.

There are many ways to cooperate, and if you can cooperate as a formation master, the benefits will be maximized.
