Chapter 235: Feng Shui Fish

It was only then that Zhongshan realized what the yellow light was. It was a fish, resembling the fish depicted in traditional Chinese New Year paintings.

The fish was drawn with simple, yellow lines, outlining the three-dimensional form of a hollowed-out carp. The fish was depicted as swimming rapidly, its movements outlined with lines that seemed extremely urgent.

Seeing this scene, Zhongshan widened his eyes. What was this?

Glancing at Princess Qianyou, he saw a hint of surprise flash in her eyes. However, Princess Qianyou seemed to understand.

Zhongshan extended his palm, and Princess Qianyou understood, extending her index finger to write in Zhongshan\'s palm.

As her fingertip touched Zhongshan\'s palm, it felt like a warm current flowed from her finger, causing Princess Qianyou\'s heart to skip a beat. However, she quickly suppressed it and quickly wrote three words.

Zhongshan concentrated.

Feng Shui Fish!

Princess Qianyou wrote the three words "Feng Shui Fish."

Zhongshan furrowed his brows slightly but didn\'t ask further. It wasn\'t the right time. He simply nodded and continued to watch the situation with the Feng Shui Fish.

Finally, the Feng Shui Fish couldn\'t withstand the white-robed man any longer and was captured by him. The white-robed man showed excitement on his face.

Near the carriage, the white-robed man quickly sat cross-legged, holding the Feng Shui Fish in his palm. A large amount of purple energy suddenly emitted from his body, swiftly refining the Feng Shui Fish.

The man was flying with the wind, clearly with a cultivation base of at least the Nascent Soul Realm. Therefore, Zhongshan didn\'t rush out at this moment, only hoping that he would leave soon.

In the distance, the fifty-plus sword lights also drew near, landing on the ground and looking toward the white-robed man refining the Feng Shui Fish.

The leader suddenly unfolded a flag formation and inserted it beside the white-robed man. Then, he cast a spell, setting up a formation. Gray mist rose, covering the people inside the formation and protecting the white-robed man who was refining the Feng Shui Fish.

"Senior Brother, we don\'t need to run this time. We\'ve finally caught up. As long as Master successfully refines it, can we go back?" one of them said.

"That\'s right. Next, we\'ll protect Master. It shouldn\'t take long," the purple-robed Senior Brother chuckled.

"Senior Brother, there\'s an empty carriage here. But no one\'s around," another person said.

The Senior Brother furrowed his brows slightly, glanced at Zhongshan\'s carriage, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, then looked around and said, "If there\'s no one, just leave it. It\'s just an empty carriage, nothing to be surprised about."

"Yes," they replied.

The group protected the white-robed man inside the formation, while Zhongshan waited quietly in the distance.

Just then, a three-hundred-strong army suddenly appeared in the distance, rushing from the mountainous forest.

The army of three hundred didn\'t fly from the sky but ran swiftly from the road where Zhongshan had come from earlier.

Although they were running, their speed was exceptionally astonishing. It was a group of cultivators.

And Zhongshan on the mountain had his pupils shrink. It turned out that the change of the Red Luan Pink Lotus to blue came from this rapidly approaching army?

"General, those two people don\'t match the descriptions you gave, but the woman among them, when my divine sense touched her within ten meters, it was instantly devoured. It was terrifying. I thought she was going to punish me," the gray-robed guide said.

"Hahaha, regardless, take us to see. If we really find the people we\'re looking for, you\'ll benefit," the leading general laughed heartily.

"Thank you, General," the gray-robed guide replied.

"Well, we\'ll take this road?" the general asked again.

"It won\'t be wrong. They bought a carriage and headed in this direction. There\'s only this mountain road here, so they couldn\'t have gone anywhere else. General, why don\'t we fly? Why run all the way there?" the gray-robed guide asked.

"Hmph, can you fly? My brothers here don\'t all possess cloud-like agility. They can\'t fly, so you have to run with us," the general said sternly, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes," the gray-robed guide immediately agreed.

Not long after, the three hundred soldiers and the gray-robed guide arrived nearby and saw a group of people gathered in the middle of the road.

"General, it\'s that carriage," the gray-robed guide suddenly exclaimed excitedly, pointing into the distance.

"Stop!" the eldest senior brother suddenly shouted to the three hundred soldiers.

The general waved his hand, and everyone stopped, looking warily at the fifty-plus cultivators.

Standing at the forefront, the general looked at the empty carriage and then at the group of cultivators surrounded by the fifty-plus cultivators. The flag formation shielded the inside from view, blocking any attempts to probe with divine sense. Were Princess Qianyou and Zhongshan inside the formation?

From what the guide had said earlier, the general was almost certain that it was Princess Qianyou and Zhongshan. Capturing Princess Qianyou would be a great achievement, and killing Zhongshan, especially with the recent increase in the bounty by King Julu, would earn them two million high-grade spirit stones and a promotion for all ranks below Legion Commander.

The tempting reward motivated the general to swiftly bring his men to pursue as soon as he learned that there were only two people here.

The three hundred soldiers were all his elite troops.

"Surrender Princess Qianyou and Zhongshan and leave immediately," the general called out.

"You scoundrels, who do you think you are? When did the Great Yu Legion dare to act so arrogantly in Dayang?" the eldest senior brother angrily retorted.

At this moment, the general\'s greed clouded his judgment, and he didn\'t care about this group of people.

"Draw your bows," the general ordered.

Because the general was already certain that Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou were inside the formation.

"Whoosh~"

Two hundred and ninety-nine soldiers quickly drew out their Break-Origin Arrows and nocked their bows.

"Say it again, get lost!" the general shouted.

"Form the formation!" the eldest senior brother felt anxious when he saw this.

"Whoosh~"

Forty-nine disciples quickly took their positions in the designated spots, each drawing their long swords and aiming them directly at the soldiers opposite them.

From their vantage point in the poisonous forest above, Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou widened their eyes. These people were actually fighting among themselves?

"Fire~" the general ordered.

"Kill~"

The two hundred and ninety-nine Break-Origin Arrows flew straight toward them, while the forty-nine-person sword formation suddenly emitted a burst of white light, and the forty-nine people swung their swords simultaneously.

A moment, as the formation of forty-nine people emitted a burst of white light, enveloping them like a giant sword hilt, the direction of the sword pointed, a two-hundred-meter-long super sword qi shot towards the soldiers.

"Defend~" the general shouted.

"Boom~"

A large cloud of smoke billowed up, and a large number of soldiers flew into the sky on their flying swords, jumping out of the smoke. However, although the previous volley of Break-Origin Arrows did not harm the people in the sword formation, the remaining three people who did not participate in the formation were pierced by the arrows. Even their swords were shattered by the arrows, and with wide eyes filled with unwillingness, they slowly fell.

The eldest senior brother was furious, his eyes red as he glared at the opposite side.

After the super sword qi attack from the formation, more than twenty elite soldiers on the opposite side were killed. Even the guide who had spoken earlier met his end under the onslaught of the sword qi.

The eldest senior brother was furious, and so was the general, but more than anything, they were focused on the flag formation shrouded in mist, where their targets must be.

"Brothers, kill~" the general pointed his long blade towards the formation.

"Kill~" the elite soldiers also roared in unison, with some flying into the air on their flying swords, shooting madly with their Break-Origin Arrows, while others wielded their swords and charged towards the group of disciples.

"For our junior brothers!" the eldest senior brother roared angrily. His eyes glinted with a red hue, and among those who had just died, one of his closest junior brothers was among them.

"Roar~"

The remaining forty-nine Golden Core stage cultivators quickly formed into a sword formation and charged into the ranks of the soldiers.

As a unified entity, as long as one person remained alive, there were no weaknesses. Arrows rained down from the sky, but the sword qi rose up to meet them, neutralizing the threat.

In the eyes of these dozens of brothers, with their junior brothers dead, the only option was revenge. They would kill these soldiers, leaving none alive. Kill!

The forty-nine cultivators were already stronger than the soldiers, and once they formed the sword formation, they became an unstoppable force. In a flash, they killed another dozen or so soldiers.

The general paid no heed to the lives of his men. Instead, he rode swiftly towards the flag formation in the center of the road with a subordinate who could fly. Arrows flew towards them from above, but the formation deflected them. However, there was a ripple around the outer edge of the formation, indicating that the formation was not invincible.

Flying closer, the general swung his large blade, his ferocious face revealing a hint of ruthlessness, as a huge blade qi slashed down towards the flag formation. Behind him, more than twenty soldiers drew their bows, ready to unleash a volley of arrows once the formation was breached.

The powerful blade qi, nearly thirty meters long, indicated that the general\'s strength was at the peak of the Golden Core stage. With one slash, he could break through anything.

Just as the blade qi was about to cleave into the flag formation, suddenly, a fair, white hand extended from within the formation.

"Crack~"

The fair hand effortlessly gripped the powerful blade qi that the general had unleashed.
