Chapter 2405 Reunion, Black Fiend Formation

Two days passed quickly.

Just when everyone thought that Chen Xuan would not be able to arrive in time and might have already perished, a young man's figure drifted in from outside the valley.

It was Chen Xuan, who was speeding all the way.

Upon seeing everyone, Chen Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It seems you fellow cultivators arrived long ago. I'm sorry I'm late!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Chen Xuan with excitement.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you've come at the perfect time."

"That's right, we were also chased by the army of the dead all the way here. We were lucky to get here. It's already good that you made it."

"Haha, I never expected this either. After being chased by the army of undead, we are all still together. It's truly a surprise!"

Everyone chatted and laughed, and no one was unhappy.

Taking this opportunity, everyone shared their experiences of being chased by the army of undead.

Chen Xuan discovered that, apart from himself, the army of undead that the others encountered was not actually that powerful.

For example, among the army of ghosts chasing after Fairy Miyu and Gong Fuxian, the highest cultivation level was only mid-stage Golden Immortal.

Only the young master of Tianluan, who was only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm, was somewhat unlucky, as the one chasing him was a ghost leader who was at the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

As for Liu Fu and You Fang, they were both at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

The cultivation level of the souls that hunt them down is naturally much higher than that of the souls that hunt others down.

Thinking about himself, who was only at the early stage of Golden Immortal, yet was being targeted by a ghost at the late stage of Golden Immortal Great Perfection, Chen Xuan was speechless.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, is there something special about the army of vengeful spirits chasing you?"

"In my opinion, fellow Daoist, your strength is not weak. You should be able to easily get rid of an ordinary army of undead."

You Fang's gaze swept over Chen Xuan, and seeing that Chen Xuan had been frowning and silent, he immediately became curious.

"Ahem, fellow Daoists, you may not know this, but the army of undead chasing me is indeed quite special. It is actually led by a late-stage Golden Immortal!"

"Luckily, I still had some backup plans, which barely allowed me to escape the pursuit of the vengeful spirits!"

"That's why I was also seriously injured. I found a place to retreat and heal for a while on the way. That's why I returned quite late!"

Chen Xuan explained.

Although he kept his encounter with the ancient Thunder Roc's true soul a secret.

Even so, everyone was still shocked when they heard that Chen Xuan had managed to escape from a leading late-stage Golden Immortal ghost.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, your strength is indeed terrifying. Even if the strength of a late-stage Golden Immortal is far inferior to that of a True Immortal of the same realm, it is still stronger than that of a mid-stage Golden Immortal."

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Chen, you were able to escape from the clutches of a late-stage Golden Immortal! You are truly remarkable!"

"Haha, I saw it long ago, Fellow Daoist Chen's strength is extraordinary."

Everyone looked at Chen Xuan and flattered him.

Chen Xuan was already used to this.

He laughed heartily and chatted amiably with everyone.

A day later, after everyone had rested, they continued their journey.

"Fellow Daoists, if we continue for another ten days or so, we will reach the location of Master Tianhong's cave."

"Let's be careful from now on."

"For safety's sake, it's best not to provoke those spirits. Let's just pass by them quickly!"

Liu Fu earnestly gave his instructions.

Having suffered a great loss, the crowd naturally had no objections.

Soon, everyone reached an agreement and continued moving forward in the original formation.

Chen Xuan remained at the end of the line.

However, he hadn't gone far when Fairy Miyu's voice rang in Chen Xuan's ears.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what are your thoughts on this operation?"

The sudden telepathic message from Fairy Miyu surprised Chen Xuan.

He never imagined that such a small team of six would actually have people forming a small gang.

However, Chen Xuan would not fall into Fairy Miyu's trap.

He feigned ignorance and directly asked, "I'm also very curious, what does the fairy think?"

"Hehe, Master Tianhong is the number one alchemy master in the Tiannan True Immortal Realm. His alchemy skills are naturally extraordinary!"

"If we could find the Myriad Laws Breaking Pill in his cave, that would be wonderful!"

"But have you considered, fellow Daoist, how much of the Myriad Laws Breaking Pill would we, the early-stage Golden Immortals, actually get if we were to find it?"

"I'll be frank from the start, but if we really only have three Myriad Laws Breakthrough Pills, who do you think should get them?"

Chen Xuan remained calm.

But upon hearing what Fairy Miyu said, I immediately felt that there was some truth to what she said.

But at this moment, he did not express his opinion directly.

"Hehe, didn't everyone agree to distribute it according to the amount of contribution?" Chen Xuan said.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chen is quite naive. Although everyone seems to be getting along very well at the moment, they might turn on each other once they actually find the Myriad Laws Breakthrough Pill. So, Fellow Daoist Chen, you'd better not be too innocent."

"What you say is absolutely right, Fairy. But, Fairy, what brings you to me at this time?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you truly unaware, or are you feigning ignorance? I've come to you now naturally to seek cooperation. As you know, I'm not familiar with any of the others present. Liu Fu and You Fang, on the other hand, are close friends. As for Young Master Tianluan and Gong Fuxian, although they haven't had much interaction along the way, I can tell that they must have known each other for a long time."

"so what?"

"Therefore, I intend to cooperate with you secretly, fellow Daoist, in order to protect myself. What do you think?"

"This……"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I know your strength is considerable, but I am no ordinary person either. I am doing this simply so that I may have a reliable helper in case of unforeseen circumstances. If you are willing to agree, how about we swear an oath by our inner demons?"

Chen Xuan was quite tempted by Fairy Miyu's words.

It has to be said that having another member of your own team can help alleviate a lot of pressure.

Moreover, the two are only cooperating temporarily, so it doesn't have much impact on Chen Xuan.

After a moment's thought, Chen Xuan said directly, "I agree to the fairy's proposal. However, our cooperation is limited to the Myriad Souls Gorge."

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chen is so straightforward, that's exactly what I meant too! From now on, let's work together."

"it is good!"

Chen Xuan agreed.

Soon, after the two swore an oath using their inner demons, they continued on their way without making a sound.

The journey was far from peaceful.

Various powerful undead spirits took turns attacking the group.

This time, none of them dared to confront the ghosts head-on.

Even when encountering the weakest of the dead, they will choose to flee immediately.

That's why the group moved forward faster than they had in the beginning.

The journey, which would normally take ten days, was completed in just eight days.

"We've arrived! The location of Master Tianhong's cave dwelling is just ahead."

Liu Fu, who was leading the group, held a map while comparing it with the surrounding environment.

After confirming the location, his face was full of joy.

After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the cave of Master Tianhong and were overjoyed.

However, Chen Xuan secretly scanned the area with his Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoists, True Immortal Tianhong's cave dwelling seems to be quite extraordinary. If I'm not mistaken, the outermost protective array should be the legendary Black Fiend Array!"

"If this kind of formation were placed elsewhere, we could destroy it by joining forces, even though it would be extremely costly."

"However, the malevolent energy in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge was already very dense. After being nurtured for countless years, the power of the Black Fiend Array is probably far greater than before!"

"Even if we join forces, we might not be able to break through!"

Chen Xuan looked at the protective array in the distance and explained earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Miyu's expression also became extremely solemn.

As a formation master, after carefully examining the situation for a while, her expression turned extremely unpleasant.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is absolutely right. The Black Fiend Formation before us, after being nourished by fiendish energy for countless years, is far more powerful than before!"

"If I am not mistaken, this Black Fiend Formation has already bred fiendish spirits."

"If we want to break the formation, we'll probably have to find the evil spirit and kill it!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fu and the others' expressions turned extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoists, now that things have come to this, can we really give up?"

"Even if this Black Fiend Formation is difficult to break, it is still nothing more than an unclaimed object!"

"If we pool our wisdom and efforts, we should be able to find a solution, right?"

Liu Fu's gaze swept over everyone, and he immediately offered encouragement.

Hearing him say that, everyone was tempted.

indeed!

Having arrived at the cave dwelling of Master Tianhong, everyone naturally did not want to leave empty-handed.

But right now, the key is how to break the Black Fiend Formation.

However, Chen Xuan knew.

Even if someone really has a way to break the Black Fiend Formation, they probably won't make a move easily.

These cunning old foxes certainly wouldn't be willing to do something so thankless and arduous.

Chen Xuan himself was no exception!

After a long silence, Liu Fu and You Fang discussed the matter in secret for a while before saying, "Fellow Daoists, if this Black Fiend Formation is not broken, we may not even be able to enter the cave of True Person Tianhong!"

"In that case, why don't we join forces and give it a try?"

"If we can destroy the Black Fiend Formation, that would be ideal. If we can't destroy it, then we'll have to find another way."

Chen Xuan and the others would not object to this proposal.

Soon, after some calculations by Fairy Miyu, the weak point of the Black Fiend Formation was found, and everyone worked together to attack.

boom!

All sorts of terrifying attacks rained down on the Black Fiend Array's array light barrier.

The terrifying attack caused the array's light barrier to shake violently.

The thick array of light only swayed a few times.

There was absolutely no sign of it breaking.

Even the evil spirits hiding in the Black Fiend Formation were not disturbed.

This made everyone's faces turn extremely ugly.

"Damn it, are we really going to have to return empty-handed?"

You Fang cursed angrily.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and he immediately said, "Fellow Daoists, if anyone can break the Black Fiend Formation, how about we let that person choose one of the rare and precious materials found in the Heavenly Rainbow True Man's cave?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Even Gong Fuxian, who had been hanging his head, perked up instantly.

Seeing that no one objected, Liu Fu immediately said, "Since none of you fellow Daoists object, then let's make it amicable."

"However, I wonder which fellow Daoist will be the first to make a move?"

As soon as Liu Fuhua finished speaking, the young master of Tianluan laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoists, I know that I may not be able to break through the Black Fiend Formation, so let me set an example for you all!"

As he spoke, the young master of Tianluan's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

When they reappeared, they were already directly in front of the Black Fiend Formation.

Wow!

With a flick of his wrist, Young Master Tianluan controlled a crimson flying sword, which slashed towards the light screen of the Black Fiend Array.

The terrifyingly powerful attack instantly astonished everyone present.
