Although it seemed like Old Daoist Lin had been forced to sign the contract, it wasn't without benefits. King Xi felt much more at ease with him and handed over all matters regarding the array to him. In order to express his trust, he even removed the usual supervision that should have been done.
This made things much more convenient for Old Daoist Lin because the formation actually needed to be tampered with. In the past, he could only secretly use the Jade Tablet to arrange the formation, but now, he could boldly add his own arrangements.
After another two months, Old Daoist Lin had almost finished setting up the entire formation. In about a month's time, it would be completely completed.
Although he had more confidence in this large formation, the Dao technique displayed in the large formation opposite him was also very brilliant. After the appearance of the Ancestral Master's portrait, he was sure that he could see the Dao technique that led to the upper level from the formation. However, after looking at it a few more times, he still couldn't obtain much from it. Every time, he was forced to stop.
It had to be known that this was merely what he saw from the formation, so there might be some deeper changes in the formation. If he couldn't take it down after a collision, it would be secondary whether or not he could complete King Xi's orders. If his own grand plan failed because of this, then all his hard work would have been in vain.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, he came up with another plan.
He first submitted a letter to King Xi asking for permission. He said that the formation was more or less complete, but it still needed some adjustments. Therefore, he requested to try to transfer the formation and attack the other side once. If there was something wrong with the formation, then he could reinforce the formation. This way, when the real battle began, he could ensure that he could take down the other side in one fell swoop.
Because this suggestion was only a test and only a portion of the formation was used, there was some truth in what he said. Thus, King Xi quickly agreed. However, in order to confirm that there were no problems with the formation, he still sent a cultivator surnamed Zeng, who was proficient in formations, and three Creator Realm cultivators to observe.
After Old Daoist Lin received permission, he didn't want to delay for too long. After making some preparations, he personally sat in the formation a day later.
He first adjusted his breathing and then checked the formation. After seeing that there were no oversights, he took out the Jade Tablet and held it in his palm. He immersed his consciousness into it and waited for it to merge with his consciousness. With a thought, the three formations at the front immediately surged with a large amount of formation power.
Light flickered in the formation and a bright light was released. It surged like a wave and rushed towards Mian Lu City on the other side.
After he did this, the soldiers on the various flying boats who received the news revealed nervous and vigilant expressions. After all, the enemy's forces had returned the last attack.............. and they didn't know if this would happen this time....... Although they were prepared in advance, anything could happen on the battlefield.
When the formation on the other side was operating, Zhang Yu had already sensed the previous signs. However, because this kind of formation used a large amount of power, it couldn't be hidden. Thus, it was almost as if it was telling you that an attack was coming.
He took a look. This time, there wasn't much force exerting from the formation. It was clearly just a test. He thought that it had come at the right time. He raised his sleeve and gently pushed the formation. The formation rotated and absorbed all of the attacking force.
Over the past year, the formation under his feet hadn't undergone any changes. When he was transferring his Dao, he casually combed the depths of the earth veins and expanded the formation by a lot.
Previously, even if Yao Zhenjun and the others went out to fight, as long as they didn't go too far, he could use the formation's power to protect them. Thus, when the formation on the other side was fully formed and launched an attack, it was hard to say which side's formation was stronger.
Old Daoist Lin's eyes narrowed when he saw the formation power surging and disappearing into the Mianlu Formation. He didn't stop because of this and continued to activate the formation power.
However, no matter how much power entered the Mianlu Formation, it was as if it entered a bottomless abyss. Once it entered, there wasn't even the slightest ripple.
Advisor Song was observing from behind. When he saw this, he whispered to Daoist Zeng who came with him, "Zeng Zhidao, is there a problem with this situation?"
Daoist Zeng thought about it and said, "If it's really an attack, then there's naturally a problem. However, this is only a test to understand the variables within and to observe the opportunity to enter and exit. Thus, there's nothing wrong with it for now. However, I'm not the person in charge of the formation and can only observe from the outside. I can't tell what changes are happening inside."
Advisor Song nodded. He wanted to go back and report this truthfully.
After Old Daoist Lin tested it out, he still looked calm on the surface, but his heart was a little heavy.
When he set up the formation previously, it was impossible for him to set up an endless formation. Instead, he set up the formation according to the size of the Mianlu Formation in front of him and the upper limit of its power. This way, he wouldn't waste too much and would be acceptable to King Xi.
However, he now realized that the formation he was facing was much larger than he had imagined.
He was confident that he wasn't mistaken. However, if he wasn't mistaken, then the situation before him meant that when he was setting up the formation, the other side was also expanding the formation. He didn't know how the other side was doing it, but this clearly meant that even if the formation was set up now, the power it could exert wouldn't be enough to break the formation.
Unless he could further expand the formation, but where did he have the time to do so? He only had a few dozen days left on the promise he made to King Xi. Even if he raised this problem, King Xi wouldn't trust him anymore.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious. A trace of red light flickered in his eyes.
If he didn't solve this problem, then he wouldn't be able to complete the great plan that he had painstakingly planned.
As he pushed the formation, he thought of a countermeasure. After a long time, he finally thought of a way. Although it was a little risky, after careful consideration, he felt that it was feasible.
He looked forward and took advantage of the moment when the two formations collided again to secretly fold the Shifting Jade Tablet. A ray of light followed the formation's power and fell into the Mianlu Formation on the other side.
As soon as he moved, Zhang Yu, who was in the formation, immediately sensed it. He glanced over and saw a light talisman floating in. He saw the mystery behind it at a glance and ordered his doppelganger to bring it in. Finally, he took it in his hand.
Zhu Zonghu was also at the side at this moment. He asked, "Mister Tao, what is this? “
Zhang Yu said, "This should be a projection talisman sent by the person in charge of the formation on the other side. He probably wants to talk to me. Let's see what he wants to say."
He waved his sleeve and threw the talisman into the hall. As soon as the talisman landed on the ground, it instantly dispersed. A human figure formed by light emerged from it. It was Old Taoist Lin.
He glanced at the people in the hall. When he saw Zhang Yu, his figure couldn't help but sway and almost dissipate. He was shocked and didn't dare to look again. He hurriedly turned to Zhu Zonghu, who was sitting in the middle, and bowed. He said, "Are you Zhu Zonghu? I am Rongyou Sect Elder Lin Jue. I have been asked by King Xi to preside over the construction of the formation on the other side. "
Zhu Zonghu nodded and said, "I am Zhu Biye. I wonder what you have to say by sending a message here?"
Old Taoist Lin's expression became serious. He said, "I won't hide it from you. I took the risk to send a message because I wanted to communicate with you …" He paused and said, "I am not your enemy. Although I am here to build the formation for King Xi, my real intention is to ruin King Xi's great plan!"
Hearing his words, the people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other. Zhu Zonghu and the others conversed with their spiritual voices for a while. Then, he raised his eyes and asked, "Why is Taoist Lin doing this?"
Old Taoist Lin didn't hide much in this aspect. He told them about his grievances with King Xi. On the surface, these reasons were all true. At least, most of them were true.
When Zhu Zonghu heard this, he thought for a while and asked, "Then why is Elder Lin here?"
Old Taoist Lin said, "I just want to tell the other party that when I activate the formation later on, I don't want to harm you. Instead, I want to counterattack. I hope that you won't attack me when the time comes. Otherwise, our common enemy will take advantage of me."
Speaking to here, he continued, "This Lin knows that you may not trust me, but this Lin is truly sincere. When this Lin activates the array formation, I will send you the opportunity to change the array formation in advance. Whether or not this Lin is sincere, you will know after a comparison. At that time, whether you help or not, this Lin will owe you a debt of gratitude."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to the crowd. The light on his body dimmed and he disappeared.
Zhu Zonghu looked at the place where he disappeared and couldn't help but ponder. A Creator beside him replied, "Zonghu, this person is full of evil energy. He is most likely here to deceive me. Zonghu, you can't trust him!"
Zhu Zonghu didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to Zhang Yu and asked, "Mister Tao, do you think this person can be trusted?"
Zhang Yu had seen some changes in the formation before. He also realized that the formation that the other party had built looked like it was facing the outside, but it could actually turn inward at any time. This meant that it could attack its own people. This seemed a little abnormal.
Now that he heard this person's words, he was certain that the change was here. The first person that this person wanted to deal with was King Xi. Therefore, he said, "This person shouldn't be lying. He does want to refine King Xi's army, but he didn't tell us everything."
Zhu Zonghu said, "Oh?" Solemnly, he said, "In that case, may I ask Mister Tao what else this person hasn't said?"
Zhang Yu looked at the formation opposite him. His eyes flickered slightly. He said indifferently, "I observed this person's formation. It should contain the ability to swallow and refine. The more he refines it, the greater the benefits he will obtain, and the more powerful the formation will be. However, this person didn't mention this at all.
Therefore, I believe that if this person really succeeds in his plan, after he refines King Xi's army and fuses their spirituality into one, the power of the array will be several times stronger than before. At that time, he will be able to refine me as well. This way, he will be able to obtain even more. "
