After receiving Li Jiao's orders, the creator led a dozen or so armored soldiers to clear out twelve crystal cabinets from the crashed airship.
These cabinets contained twelve mystical creatures from the All-Spirit Society. Because of the sturdy crystal cabinets, they didn't suffer any damage even after being violently bombarded by the blazing crystals.
Although most of these mystical creatures had spiritual intelligence, they were weapons of war. Apart from a few peaceful ones like Jian Niao, most of them were tyrannical by nature. Only King Xi, the ruler of the All-Spirit Society, had the authority to give them orders.
If King Xi wasn't present to restrain these mystical creatures, it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Therefore, the mystical Lingdu that was taken out this time had been forced into a deep slumber in advance. They were sealed in the crystal cabinets and would only be released on the battlefield when the enemy was fighting.
Li Jiao felt that as long as these creatures were still present, their chances of victory were still very high. At this moment, he waved his sleeve and used his magic power to send the crystal cabinets to the airship that was still floating in the air. He said, "Check everything and set off as soon as possible."
A Daoist cultivator on the opposite side said, "Master Li, the attack this time was caused by the Celestials driving their boats into me. Even if this person came back from the dead, he should still be here. Should we leave some people to deal with those Celestials?"
Li Jiao rejected, "Let's hurry on. Don't delay here."
After this surprise attack, the entire fleet's supplies, airships, and armored soldiers had suffered too many losses. He knew that his previous plan to besiege Mianlu was no longer possible. Since that was the case, how could he care about the lives of more than a thousand Celestials? He only wanted to break through Mianlu as soon as possible and give King Xi an explanation.
After reorganizing, the entire fleet continued to sail in the direction of Mianlu. However, compared to not long ago, the fleet was much more sparse.
Not long after they left, streaks of spiritual light flashed on the ground and figures appeared one after another.
Lin Ling looked around and saw that everyone was present except for Shi Yanxin. He asked, "Have you seen Senior Shi?"
"Senior Shi? Which senior? "The Mystic cultivator at the side was a little confused.
Lin Ling revealed a look of surprise. He looked at the people around him and saw that they also had blank looks on their faces. He was startled. Did that mean that he was the only one who had seen Senior Shi?
He rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Then there was a problem. Did this Senior Shi really come, or was it just his imagination?
Suddenly, he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.
However, he was an open-minded person by nature. Since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it anymore. Regardless of whether or not he had met this Senior Shi, it was true that he had destroyed most of the fleet.
First, he checked the wreckage around him to see the results of the battle. Then, he sent a report to Mianlu City through Xuntian Dao Zhang.
Not far from them, Daoist Pei looked at the dust that had yet to completely fall from the sky. In fact, he hadn't gone far. He just wanted to confirm how far these celestials could go.
However, the results surprised him greatly. He did not expect these Celestials to achieve an unimaginable victory. He guessed that other than himself, they must have received the help of other upper echelons. Otherwise, it would have been impossible.
However, not only did he not feel that it was inappropriate, he felt that it was very good. This was because the stronger Mianlu was, the more of a blow they could deal to King Xi. This was also beneficial to them.
He thought to himself, "It seems that I have to go back and tell His Highness that these Celestials cannot be underestimated. Perhaps we should give them more support." After this thought, his body flickered with light and he left the area.
In Mianlu City, Zhu Zonghu heard the news that Lin Ling had destroyed most of King Xi's fleet's flying boats. For a moment, he still couldn't believe it. He asked Yin Huanting to ask Yao Zhenjun, who had already returned. Only then did he confirm it.
Moreover, the results of this battle were even greater than he had imagined. This time, they had even killed a cultivator from the upper echelons. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
When he learned that King Xi's fleet was still heading towards Mianlu, he had a discussion with everyone. However, this time, everyone was more confident than before. When this news spread, the morale of the people in the city also soared. Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of King Xi's fleet so that they could have a decisive battle.
After Yin Huanting left the hall, he went to his residence and saw a Daoist standing there. He revealed a joyful expression and walked a few steps forward. He raised his sleeve and bowed. "Senior Daoist Brother is finally here. Oh, I have to congratulate Senior Daoist Brother for reaching the upper realm!"
However, Shi Yanxin said, "It's just a reflection of my body."
Yin Huanting smiled and said, "Even if it's a reflection of your body, Daoist Brother, you can also understand how the upper realm operates and how to get there. When you return, it will be easier for you to break through to the next realm. I don't know how many fellow Daoists are envious of you."
As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Shi Yanxin and joked, "Senior Daoist Brother, is the you who is here right now real or just an illusion?"
Shi Yanxin said calmly, "Real or fake depends on one's heart. If Daoist Brother thinks it's real, then it's real. If Daoist Brother thinks I'm here, then I'm here."
Yin Huanting nodded subconsciously. He remembered that Shi Yanxin had told him something before, but he couldn't recall it now. However, he didn't dwell on these questions. The most important thing now was how to defend the city.
Previously, he tried to get Yao Zhenjun and Shi Yanxin to cooperate in a surprise attack. It was hard to say whether it would succeed or not. However, he didn't expect that the two of them working together, together with the flying boats carrying lie gems, would form an exceptionally spectacular surprise attack.
He was now wondering if he could recreate this scene.
He was now full of confidence. This time, he had Yao Zhenjun, Shi Yanxin, and Mister Tao in the formation. Just defending the city was no problem. If it weren't for the fact that there were still four Daoist cultivators on the other side and an unknown number of mystical creatures accompanying them, they would have already taken the initiative to attack.
Two days later, a dot of light flashed in the west. Soon, the clouds above Mianlu were dyed gold. The light of the Solar Star of Creation also shone on Mianlu City.
When the light of the Solar Star of Creation touched the formation of the city, it immediately formed a clear boundary. The power of the Solar Star of Creation couldn't enter the formation, but it allowed Li Jiao and the others on the main boat to see the general range of the formation.
Li Xiao stood in the main hall and ordered the airships to attack first. The remaining 200 airships all extended their cannons forward and fired Blazing Crystal Spears at the enemy formation.
This was a round of probing. They had hoped that the lie crystal weapons would do something, but the result was disappointing. The explosions they caused only caused a small ripple on the formation.
Li Jiao shook his head. Unfortunately, most of the lie crystals and flying boats were destroyed. The remaining battle boats were inevitably lacking in offensive power. Fortunately, he didn't count on them.
He took out a jade talisman with the insignia of a deity holding up the sun. Then, he ordered the flying boats behind him to throw down three crystal cabinets placed together.
When the cabinets landed, he used the jade talisman to activate them. The crystal cover opened on its own. A wisp of white smoke floated out, and then the empty cabinets were revealed.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this. There was nothing inside?
However, they immediately reacted. Something must have escaped from here because they felt that something was staring at them from their surroundings.
Li Jiao held the jade talisman in his hand. He could clearly see existences that others could not sense.
They were creatures that looked like mosquitoes and bees. They had long and slender legs, thin wings on their backs, wide and powerful jaws, sharp claws, and stingers. They looked extremely ferocious, and every one of them was the size of a calf. At the same time, a restless feeling came from the jade talisman.
This was one of the creatures created by the Hao Clan. It was called "Yellow Ape."
In the long conflict between the Hao Clan and the cultivators, they were often helpless against the great formations of the cultivators. As a result, they created these creatures specifically. They could go deep underground and gnaw at the earth veins, melding themselves inside. Then, they would silently enter the center of the formation and destroy the foundation of the great formation from the very beginning.
At this moment, he gave an order through the jade talisman. He ordered these intelligent creatures to go ahead and destroy the formation. After doing this, he said, "Let's wait. There will be a result soon."
The three "Yellow Apes" burrowed underground. Using their spiritual senses, they soon found the location of the earth veins and spiritual vigor. They followed it to the depths.
In the depths of the Mian Lu Formation, Zhang Yu had created a clone to guard the center of the formation. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Although the "Yellow Apes" only had the ability to destroy formations, they were still upper-level creatures in the end. Moreover, they were creatures of creation that specialized in destroying formations. If other people were here, they really might not be able to discover them. And by the time they got closer and discovered them, perhaps the earth veins of the great formation would have already been mostly destroyed.
However, his level of cultivation far surpassed these creatures. As soon as the Yellow Apes came into contact with the earth veins, they immediately sensed something. They raised their eyes and looked over. Divine light flashed in their eyes, and they immediately saw these insects.
He only waved his sleeve gently. A vast ray of light surged out along with the earth veins' spiritual vigor. The five Yellow Apes did not even have the time to react before they were drowned in brilliant starlight. When the light receded like the tide, there was nothing left where they originally stood.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, seemed to have only brushed away a few inconspicuous insects. He withdrew his gaze and continued to sit there.
Li Zao waited outside with confidence. He had presided over the destruction of many sects. Using the Yellow Apes to destroy formations could be considered his specialty. It could be said that he had tried it every time.
In order to ensure that this item was not leaked, the Boundless Race would usually choose to attack after surrounding the formation. This caused many sects to be uprooted from top to bottom after being destroyed. As a result, no one knew how the Boundless Race did it, and there was no way to improve or make targeted defenses.
According to his judgment from experience, the great formations of the more powerful sects might be a little troublesome. They might be discovered as soon as the formation pivot moved. However, even if it was weakened a little, it would be easier for them to attack.
The great formations of the Mian Lu Formation naturally could not be compared to those of the great sects. He estimated that he would be able to see the results within two or three days.
However, after waiting outside for three days, there was not the slightest reaction.
"I miscalculated."
He did not know what the reason was, but he suddenly remembered that Zhu Zonghu was King Xi's successor. Some secrets were secrets to others, but they might not be secrets to Zhu Zonghu. Although King Xi did not value them, who knew if he had mentioned them in the past?
However, it was not that he did not have any other methods aside from the "Yellow Apes". Just as he was about to summon another mystical creature, his eyelids suddenly twitched. This was because in his senses, he caught a glimpse of a gentle light leaping about!
