Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but show a look of heartache!

"A perfectly good Blood Demon Crystal, just gone like that!"

"This wasteful monkey, be careful not to damage their bodies any further!" Zhou Xun hastily instructed.

"Roar Roar!"

The Cyan Ape went berserk, having killed the middle-aged man in the black robe with one strike, now excitedly pounding its chest,

Hearing Zhou Xun’s words, it had to curl its lips and restrain some of its strength!

It changed its hammering into grabbing, and catching the black-robed man left and right, directly clutching him in its palms, tightly holding on!

Then, its nose flickered faintly, emitting once more a greenish light, enveloping the man inside,

Immediately, the cyan light burst forth, splitting into two chains,

Penetrated the man’s body, extracting a silhouette that was the man’s divine soul!

Then with a swoosh sound, it inhaled through the nose, turning it into the Cyan Ape’s food.

The middle-aged man beside this was just waking up at this time, and seeing this scene, almost lost three souls and seven spirits in fright!

Frantically making hand gestures, pointing to himself, he directly transformed into a black light, intending to flee to the rear!

However, just as he flew near the Array Light Shield and was about to leave,

A cyan light flickered in the sky, revealing a green vine tens of feet long,

With a "swoosh" sound, it bound the middle-aged man tightly,

Then slowly brought it in front of Zhou Xun.

"Daoist, spare my life!"

The middle-aged man was now without his previous composure, full of panic, devoid of the dignity of a Core Formation Master.

Zhou Xun merely cast a look, waving his hand,

The vine sent the middle-aged man to face the Cyan Ape,

The Cyan Ape did the same, swallowing the divine soul into its belly.

Zhou Xun then picked up their bodies and Storage Bags, arranged things a bit, and stored them in his Storage Bag,

Next, he focused on the Array, starting to study it.

...

Celestial Suspension Mountain,

When Zhou Xun’s true body encountered Demonic Cultivators blocking his way,

His avatar immediately informed Anx Yudao and others of this news.

"Brother Anx, Brother Wei, just now a message from my friend has arrived, Demonic Cultivators are truly shameless, even arranging people on the periphery to ambush our Righteous Alliance cultivators!"

"What?"

Hearing this news, Anx Yudao and Wei Chang’an were shocked and discolored,

Then they wore expressions full of hatred,

"These demonic scoundrels, truly shameless, using such despicable tactics, no wonder these days not many of our Righteous Alliance cultivators have come here!"

"Yet their Demon Alliance numbers grow more and more!"

"No, we must take measures quickly, otherwise, in a few days, this Celestial Suspension Mountain will be theirs, belonging to the demonic!"

Anx Yudao wore a serious expression, glancing inadvertently at the Demon Alliance cultivators,

"Indeed, what Brother Anx said is spot on, since they started it, don’t blame us for retaliating!"

"Next, we’ll find an excuse to leave here, and take down those demonic scoundrels on the periphery, then come back!"

Wei Chang’an said, eyes revealing a murderous intent.

"By the way, Brother Chen, where did your friend encounter the ambush?"

"I’ll take you there!"

...

Zhou Xun studied for a moment, shaking his head.

"With my current knowledge of Arrays, unlocking it without damaging the Array is impossible in a short time,"

"Never mind, I’ll continue researching it after leaving!"

Saying so, he picked up the Array Manipulation Command Flag from the black-robed people’s hands before,

Slowly infusing mana, then pointing to the light shield in the sky,

Only to see a spirit light fly out, strike the light shield directly, instantly dissolving it,

With a wave of his hand, several Array Flags and Array Plates shot out from the ground, gathering together, landing slowly in front of Zhou Xun,

After careful observation, he recognized this Array,

It turned out to be an Array based on the Power of the Five Elements, called the "Cyan Gang Five Elements Array",

In terms of power alone, it’s even stronger than the "Ice and Fire Cloud Array" Zhou Xun bought from Master Nanyue.

"Didn’t expect to have this harvest!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, took out a wooden box, and put all the Array Plates and Array Flags into it,

With a flick of his fingers, turning into a beam of light that flew into his Storage Bag.

And the Cyan Ape, under Zhou Xun’s command, returned to the Small Banner where it resided, and was taken in by Zhou Xun.

Having done all this, Zhou Xun did not leave but waited quietly on the spot, waiting for the arrival of Anx Yudao and others.

Soon, half an hour passed, and an intense wave of spiritual qi came from the horizon,

Four paths of black Escape Light were rapidly approaching him.

"One Perfection, one Late-Stage, and two Middle-Stage!"

"Unfortunately, they’re late!"

Zhou Xun sighed, his form flashing, heading swiftly in another direction!

Not far in his direction, six beams of spirit light were coming swiftly,

Anx Yudao, Wei Chang’an, and Zhou Xun’s avatar were right among them.

"Young Master, he’s about to run!"

A square-faced man in a black long robe saluted the young man beside him,

"Chase!"

The youth licked his lips, revealing a look of interest,

Cat and mouse, he likes it!

...

In just a small tea break’s time, Zhou Xun could faintly see five figures ahead, and behind him,

Those chasing after seemingly also noticed this scene, so they stopped.

"Young Master, it seems like they’re from the Righteous Alliance!" The middle-aged man saluted,

"I see it." The youth frowned,

"Why is Wei Chang’an here too!"

"Wei Chang’an!"

Hearing this name, the others clearly showed a hint of fear.

"Young Master, should we avoid them for now, after all, they have more people!"

"Why panic, otherwise others will think this Young Master is afraid of Wei Chang’an!" The youth snorted, mana moving under his feet,

Pushing himself forward!

...

On the other side, Zhou Xun’s true body met his avatar smoothly.

"This is Daoist Anx, Daoist Wei!"

"This is my close friend—Li Huayuan," Zhou Xun’s avatar solemnly introduced each other!

"I’ve long heard Brother Chen mention Daoist Li, seeing today he indeed has an extraordinary bearing!"

Anx Yudao laughed, sensing the Late-Stage Core Formation aura emitting from the true body, and was overjoyed.

"Daoist Anx praises too much!"

"Earlier, I heard Brother Chen say Daoist Li encountered an ambush by Demonic Cultivators, now it seems, Daoist Li has resolved the trouble!"

Wei Chang’an showed an interested expression.

"Haha, it’s just a few Middle-Stage Core Formation demonic brats, not worth mentioning!" Zhou Xun waved his hand and said!

"To face three alone, such a demeanor, how could it be ordinary....." Anx Yudao enthusiastically began to draw closer,

Just then, the four Escape Lights opposite also stopped.

"I wondered who it was, turns out to be Brother Yu!" Wei Chang’an looked at the black-robed youth opposite, saluting,

"Long time no see, I don’t know if Younger Brother Wei’s strength has progressed!" The youth provocatively said,

Previously, he had faced Wei Chang’an, being tied when he was Middle-Stage Core Formation against Wei Chang’an’s Middle-Stage Core Formation,

He deeply considered it a disgrace and was now at Late-Stage Core Formation, ready to reclaim his stance!

Just then,

Over a dozen more Escape Lights flew from behind Wei Chang’an,

They were evidently demon alliance cultivators from Celestial Suspension Mountain seeing Anx Yudao leave, thus secretly sent people to follow up.

In an instant, the side where Zhou Xun originally had more people,

Fell into a disadvantage,

Going from seven versus four, to seven versus sixteen!

The shift in offensive and defensive was evident!
