The task that Elder Li assigned to Xiao Changqing was neither simple nor difficult.

With her in charge of the Blood Crystal Island and the fourth-level island protection formation, the island’s safety is not a problem. No matter how powerful Lady Styx is, she cannot attack even if she has a treasure to break the formation.

In the Qingxu Realm, there are many treasures that can be used to break the formation.

Unlike the immortal cultivation world of Dayu, when they faced the mountain protection formation of the Liyang Mountains, they had no way to break through it even with the Yuanying Sect secretly fanning the flames. They could only rely on bribing traitors to sabotage inside and break through from the inside.

There are many treasures in the Fuhai Sect that can temporarily break the fourth-level formation.

However, these treasures are not only extremely precious, but also require relatively high conditions for their use. Only top cultivators in the late Jindan stage can break through the fourth-level formation, and they can only temporarily break a hole in the formation.

After a long time, the hole will be repaired by the formation.

This is the current situation on Blood Crystal Island.

The array-breaking treasure on Madam Minghe’s body, under her control, can temporarily break the fourth-level island protection array of Blood Crystal Island. But even if she goes in personally, with Elder Li in charge, she can only return empty-handed, and there is even a certain degree of danger that she cannot return.

So she didn’t dare to act rashly.

The turning point of the situation occurred at the bottom of the abyss at the western corner of Blood Crystal Island. An unknown change occurred some time ago, such as a natural disaster, causing the formation at the western corner to become unstable.

There are usually no major problems and it can be protected.

But once Lady Styx starts controlling the treasures that can break the formation and launches a massive attack, the flaw in the southwest corner will be magnified.

If another real person in the middle stage of the Jindan stage takes action, holding a treasure that can break the formation, he will attack the western corner of the Blood Crystal Island. At that time, there will be a risk that the island protection formation will be completely broken!
The task that Li Yuan assigned to Xiao Changqing was to guard the western corner of the island.

The next time Lady Styx comes back and starts to break the formation, she will be responsible for the head-on confrontation.

But Xiao Changqing had to delay the middle-stage Jindan elder of the Fuhai Sect who was attacking the west corner!
“The strength of the middle-stage Jindan elders of Fuhai Sect is definitely stronger than you, Elder Fang. It may even be much stronger. But Elder Fang, you just need to guard the formation well and don’t let the other side attack. It will be much easier in comparison.”

“As long as we can hold on for a while, the power of the formation will be restored soon, and the Fu Hai Sect must retreat. Otherwise, they will lose their lives if they stay!”

“Remember, don’t be greedy for credit, and don’t take the initiative to attack just because you see the opponent reveal a flaw!”

“No matter whether the opponent’s flaws are real or fake, we don’t need to care! Because our goal is not to kill a certain number of people from the Fu Hai Sect, but to defend the Blood Crystal Island!”

Li Yuan warned.

Xiao Changqing nodded, “Elder Li, rest assured. I am not a reckless person, and I will not be greedy for credit. Everything I do must be 100% certain, and I will not gamble with the Blood Crystal Island.”

Li Yuan felt much more relieved after hearing this.

If an elder who had just broken through to the middle stage of the Jindan realm not long ago was greedy for quick success and acted recklessly, and fell into the trap of the Jindan elder of the Fuhai Sect, it would be a disaster.

Li Yuan had felt the opponent’s elder who was in the middle stage of the Jindan period during the last attack. He was one of the best in the middle stage of the Jindan period and was not far from the late stage of the Jindan period.

Afterwards, Li Yuan personally led Xiao Changqing to the west corner of the Blood Crystal Island. While giving him the authority to manipulate the formation at the west corner, he also taught him some skills in guarding it.

Half an hour later.

Seeing that Xiao Changqing was already familiar with the operation of the formation and could operate it with ease, he felt relieved and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to warn again: “Elder Fang, you must remember that your mission is to guard the formation, not to kill the enemy. You have just broken through to the middle stage of Jindan. Those cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan with deep accumulation, even if they are injured, are not something you can deal with.”

Xiao Changqing naturally wouldn’t argue at this time.

Facts speak louder than words.

After he captures the middle-stage Jindan elder of the Fuhai Sect and even avenges Madam Minghe, Elder Li will naturally understand his strength.

……

For the following time, Xiao Changqing settled down on Blood Crystal Island.

The many wonders on the island and the unfathomable depth of the sea made it a very wonderful journey for him.

In addition, most of the time on weekdays is used for cultivation, so the time is not that difficult to endure.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.

In the past two months, the Fu Hai Sect has frequently harassed the Blood Crystal Island, but there has never been a real fierce attack. They were all tentative attacks, and Xiao Changqing did not have to take any action at all.

But for the other Sanyang Sect cultivators on the Blood Crystal Island, including Jindan elders like Han Ce, they were becoming more and more worried.

Fu Hai Zong’s abnormal behavior is likely to be a conspiracy in preparation for a more fierce attack next time.

As the saying goes, a storm is about to come.

Xiao Changqing was also a little anxious.

But what he was worried about was not that the next attack from Fu Hai Zong would be too fierce, but that Fu Hai Zong would come too slowly!

The sooner it comes, the better for him.

He can earn enough contribution points earlier, become famous earlier, and obtain enough treasures earlier.

After getting the treasure, he can consider returning to Dayu’s world of immortal cultivation.

It has been more than half a year since I came to Qingxu Realm, and I don’t know how my situation is.

Just like that, another two months passed.

Finally, when the wind was howling and the waves were surging, the monks of Fu Hai Sect appeared in the sky above Blood Crystal Island in a mighty force.

The leader was the famous Lady of the Styx.

There was no pre-war declaration. The moment Lady Styx appeared, her tyrannical aura had already reached its peak. Her powerful magic power was pervasive, and for a moment, it seemed that the violent winds and rainstorms within a radius of ten miles around had paused, and the turbulent waves also solidified for a brief moment.

Then she activated a cone-shaped treasure about ten feet in size, which seemed to be made entirely of black ice crystal.

The killing power of this treasure is not too obvious, but it emits strange fluctuations, absorbing the powerful magic power of Lady Styx, as well as the power of the surrounding rain and sea water.

In a short while, the cone-shaped treasure seemed to come alive and transformed into a translucent crystal dragon, dashing fiercely towards the Blood Crystal Island.

Boom – click!
The air was filled with cold air and mist, making the already desolate Blood Crystal Island even more creepy.

A huge gap was immediately blasted in the middle of the fourth-order island protection formation!

Although the foundation of the formation was not damaged, it seemed to be “frozen” by the cold air transformed by the crystal dragon. In addition to the huge gap, the operation of other parts of the formation also became jerky and not as smooth as before.

Especially in the western corner of Blood Crystal Island, where Xiao Changqing was stationed, Xiao Changqing clearly felt that the power of the formation had been greatly weakened, becoming the weak point and flaw of the entire formation!
“kill!”

“Today, our Fu Hai Sect has seized the Blood Crystal Island!”

Lady of the Styx had long black hair flying like a waterfall. When she saw Li Yuan sitting in the center of the island, she rushed in first and prevented him from repairing and completing the formation.

The Jindan elders and many foundation-building disciples of the Fuhai Sect behind her also rushed to different places according to the order that had been determined in advance.

……

“After waiting for so long, it’s finally here!”

Xiao Changqing, who was sitting in the west corner of the island, smiled as he looked at the sky outside the formation in front of him. A Jindan cultivator followed suit and took out another formation-breaking treasure, using all his strength to blast a hole in the already weak west corner formation. Xiao Changqing’s control over the formation and the defensive power he could mobilize were less than one-third of what they were before, becoming very weak.

However, because his soul is the primordial spirit, it can merge into the heaven and earth and control higher-level power.

Therefore, even if the formation is slow, he can rely on his powerful soul to mobilize more power and make the operation more efficient.

Upon seeing this, the Jindan elder of the Fu Hai Sect also smiled and rushed to destroy it.

The formation here was problematic in the first place, and the most important thing was that the person in charge of this place was not a top-notch Jindan expert like Li Yuan, but just a ‘newbie’ who had just been promoted to the middle Jindan stage less than a year ago, and his strength was far inferior to his.

He has a great chance of controlling such a Jindan Zhenren.

If the plan goes well, he can easily take over this corner and use the special treasure “Breaking the surface with a point” to completely destroy the Blood Crystal Island’s protective formation.

At that time, all the disciples of the Sanyang Sect on this island, including Li Yuan, will die.

Oh, there are also two people who cannot die.

One is a young female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage named Hu Li, and the other is Fang Yuan, who has been “lucky” many times.

These two people absolutely cannot die now.

I have to say that Fang Yuan in front of me really has good luck in his life.

First, he was in the early stage of Jindan cultivation, and was severely injured by the soul secret technique of Elder Minghe. Not only did he survive, but he turned the disaster into a blessing and his cultivation level was improved. Later, he found that he had a disciple like Hu Li, and his life was no longer in danger.

Otherwise, he was lucky enough to escape from the hands of Elder Minghe once, but he would definitely not be able to escape today.

“Although we can’t kill him, it’s no problem to capture him first.”

The elders of Fu Hai Sect were very confident and had a detailed plan.

‘Crack, click, click! ‘

As the elder of Fu Hai Sect attacked the formation, his violent magic power manipulated a giant umbrella magic weapon, covering the sky and blocking the sun. It kept spinning and emitting extremely destructive attacks, trying to destroy the island protection formation.

Xiao Changqing held the magic formula and gathered the remaining power of the magic array to resist the destruction of the giant umbrella.

“With this little remaining array power, do you still want to resist me? Fang Yuan, I advise you to surrender!”

The elder of Fu Hai Sect made a mocking remark.

In fact, he was a little surprised in his heart, because the speed at which he destroyed the formation was much slower than he had imagined.

It seems that the destruction done by Elder Styx and his destruction just now did not achieve the expected effect.

How is this going?

The Blood Crystal Island’s protective formation has been strengthened and evolved? That’s impossible.

This is a fourth-order formation. With the strength of the Sanyang Sect, there is no way to strengthen it further.

He obviously could not imagine that it was not that the formation had become stronger, but that Xiao Changqing’s soul was at the Nascent Soul level, forcing the formation to operate more efficiently.

However, although he was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on the surface and was already preparing to activate the backup plan.

“Since you still want to resist, then prepare to die!”

The elder of Fu Hai Sect appeared very anxious and used forbidden techniques to destroy the formation while fighting desperately with Xiao Changqing who was inside the formation.

His plan was to feint like this for a while, appearing to be doing his best but actually having a trick up his sleeve.

He waited until Xiao Changqing let down his guard before launching his killing move, catching Xiao Changqing off guard.

As for Li Yuan’s warning to Xiao Changqing not to be greedy for merit and risk his life, Fu Hai Zong had never thought of taking advantage of this.

Because in their opinion, as long as Xiao Changqing was not a fool, he would not dare to take the initiative to attack instead of retreating to defend just after he was promoted to the middle stage of Jindan.

But the next moment, Xiao Changqing’s actions shocked him.

It seemed that Xiao Changqing only needed to sit firmly within the formation and use the remaining power of the formation to barely hold on for a while and wait for the battle between Li Yuan and Lady Minghe in the main battlefield to end.

As a result, he suddenly activated a set of formed magic weapons. The twelve formation flags were spread out in the wind under the urging of magic power, and absorbed the endless water power in the sea, instantly covering the surrounding area for several miles, as if forming a barrier.

This set of formation flags exceeded the range of the Blood Crystal Island formation and also surrounded the elders of the Fu Hai Sect.

This was the magic weapon, the Mountain and River Flag, that Xiao Changqing had exchanged from the Reward Hall for more than 10,000 contribution points.

It was once a fourth-rank mid-grade magic weapon, a famous treasure of a Yuanying middle-stage True Lord, but now it has fallen to the third rank.

“What do you mean?”

The elder of Fu Hai Sect looked at the barrier that suddenly appeared, blocking out the view of the outside world.

Then he saw Xiao Changqing actually flying directly towards him from the formation!
He hadn’t had time to implement his follow-up plan, his feint attack hadn’t been completed, his real means hadn’t been used, and he hadn’t pretended to be injured.

How come Fang Yuan came out by himself?

Or did he escape in this way, isolated from the outside world and secretly?

The elder of Fuhai Sect had a thought, as if he had thought of something, and he understood it in an instant. He sneered and said, “Fang Yuan, did Jinmu inform you in advance? Are you planning to follow Jinmu and betray Sanyang Sect?”

Xiao Changqing was thinking about how to kill this unknown elder of Fuhai Sect and how long he would pretend to spend…

He was going to reveal some of his true strength today, but his goal was not to kill an unknown elder, but Lady Styx.

Therefore, he couldn’t show too much strength and scare Lady Styx in advance, causing her to run away.

As a result, Xiao Changqing was also a little confused.

When the unknown elder of the Fu Hai Sect saw that he abandoned the formation and took the initiative to attack, he was not as surprised as he had imagined and rushed to attack. Instead, he stopped and said some incomprehensible words.

However, Xiao Changqing reacted quickly and came to his senses immediately. He asked with a strange look on his face, “Jin Mu? Jin Mu, the law enforcement elder of my Sanyang Sect? Did he collude with your Fuhai Sect and betray the sect?”

The current battle situation is so tense and critical. The unknown elder of Fu Hai Sect in front of him should not deceive him at this time.

What he said is most likely true.

Moreover, combined with the fact that Jin Mu’s disciple Zhou Tong had come to persuade his disciple Hu Li to defect with him, it seems that if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked…

just.

Why did this unknown elder of the Fu Hai Sect say that Jin Mu had informed me?
Am I a traitor?

That’s not right. If my predecessor really wanted to defect from Sanyang Sect, he wouldn’t have been seriously injured to death by Madam Minghe.

What’s going on? It’s a bit weird…

“Never mind, let’s capture this man first. If we can’t torture him, we can search his soul.”

Xiao Changqing put aside all his thoughts and took action. (End of this chapter)
