Chapter 123: Formation is also Energy

Tai Shaogang just claimed that he could handle Xi Xuan and his crew, but he was immediately proven wrong when he got his face slapped. The six innate realm members of the Ying Hao gang were each defeated, with broken bones and shattered chests, screaming in agony. Many onlookers deliberately burst into laughter, causing Tai Shaogang's face to turn pale.
But he seemed to still not believe that such a thing could happen right in front of his eyes. After turning his head to confirm the fact, he looked back at Qin Mian and saw him standing there with a calm expression on his face, unable to contain his anger and burst out, "Kid, how dare you provoke the Hero Gang?"
Qin Mian waved his hand and said, "Don't use help to intimidate people. If you want to fight, then do it; I can't be bothered to respond to someone like you who is all bark and no bite."
The fact is right here, there's no point in saying anything else, facts speak for themselves.
Qin Mian doesn't want to argue with someone who lacks technical content.
Gu Jia softly said, "Master, my mother and I will go in first, and you and seniors can come in later."
Qin Mian shook his head: "Don't worry, just a mere cultivation level of the 6th level of Transcendent Mortal."
He knew that she was afraid of affecting him because of her and their daughter, so she wanted him to focus on the enemy.
Qin Wu laughed and said, "Gu Jia, you may be at the 6th level of transcendent, but you're no match for your master. Take a good look and observe his attack and defense."
Gu Jia mumbled, "Master's moves are too fast, I couldn't see clearly at all."
She is currently only at the late stage of the Vein Opening realm, so she can only watch the battle between the Innate realm cultivators and enjoy the show. The speed just now was too fast for her to see clearly. She only saw the members of the Heroic Alliance rushing over at high speed and then screaming as they flew back. That's all.
Qin Wubo smiled and said, "Even standing here, one can cultivate the ability to remain calm in the face of danger."
In contrast, Zhan Li, who had been sitting behind Gu Jia, quickly stood up and came to Gu Jia's side when she saw the six Innate Realm cultivators charging towards them.
Than Shao, on the opposite side, had his eyes wide open when he heard Qin Mian's words. It took him a few moments to regain his composure, and then he put on a pretense of being sharp-witted: "So you want me to intervene, just so that all the cultivators in the He Xi sect will know that the Heroic Gang has been bullying the weak."
Continuing with hearty laughter: "Do you know what your biggest mistake is? Let me tell you, it is provocation! A cultivator of a lower realm should not provoke a cultivator of a higher realm, as you will only end up getting beaten. Today, you provoked me, and I will teach you a lesson. This is not about bullying the weak, but about disciplining an ignorant junior."
Qin Wu laughed and asked, "What do you call it when you just attacked six innate realm individuals?"
Thailand responded with a snort, "That's called capturing!"
Everything you said is correct.
Hearing Thailand's words, Qin Mian not only didn't want to continue the conversation with him, but even the desire to teach him a lesson disappeared instantly. He calmly said, "Are you done talking? If you're done, let's go."
Seeing Zhang Li also stood up easily, he didn't want to continue staying here and confront them.
Although there would be a reputation of being fearless heroes, such a reputation was simply not worth mentioning to him.
Fan's family dares to resist doggedly, and Dumas League dares to scheme. A heroic gang that can only rival Dujia is not worth much.
Hearing him say he wants to leave, Tang Shao angrily shouts, "Want to leave? No way!"
The person, however, remained still there.
Qin Mian said calmly, "Let's go."
Zhan Li immediately sighed with relief and grabbed Gu Jia, turning around to leave.
Qin Wu glanced at Tang Shao and turned around to leave with Qin Wu Bo.
Seeing the four of them turning around, Qin Man also turned around, and Thayer Shao shouted, "You want to leave without resolving the matter, stay!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward and approached the five of them.
Just as Qin Man was about to turn around, he saw Thayer Shao's intentions —— not attacking any of the three early-stage Primordial Realm cultivators, but targeting Gu Jia and her daughter. Instantly enraged, he shouted angrily, "As someone who has surpassed the Mortal Realm, you actually harbor such filthy thoughts, you deserve to die!"
Indeed, Tang Shao's target is not the three of them at the innate realm, but rather Zhan Li at the acquired realm, and Gu Jia at the Qi Refining realm.
He knows Zhan Li, but he doesn't know the relationship between them. However, since they are together, he believes that there must be a relationship between them, so he wants to capture them as bargaining chips.
He didn't know that his actions had crossed Qin Mian's bottom line and brought disaster upon himself.
Just as he was about to step over Qin Mian, Qin Mian swiftly appeared and reached out to grab his poised right palm, delivering a punch to his forehead.
Tai Shaoda was surprised by how fast this junior in the innate realm was.
In a moment of desperation, he tried to transform his right palm into a claw, attempting to grab Qin Mian's left hand while his left fist greeted Qin Mian's right fist.
Before these thoughts could fully form, before they could even be transmitted to the relevant parts of his body, he felt his right hand being caught, and a heavy blow landed on his forehead—his mind went blank, and everything turned dark before his eyes.
Then, he felt his head being continuously hit and his thoughts becoming increasingly muddled...
Qin Mian casually threw away Tang Shao, whose seven orifices were bleeding profusely, and said lightly, "Let's go."
Qin Wu and Qin Wubo both spat out and said, "Yes, let's go. Such a force is too weak."
Zhan Li widened her eyes, from the beginning to now, she finally reacted when she heard Qin Mian say "let's go", turned her head and continued to walk forward.
Gujia said, "Master's punches were too fast, I couldn't even see how many punches he threw."
Qin Wu laughed and said, "I saw clearly, three punches. That guy's head was blown apart."
Gu Jia waved her little fist and said, "In the future, I will also solve my opponents cleanly and efficiently like my master."
The onlookers were shocked.
"Are all the disciples of the Zhenyuan Sect so powerful? A late-stage Precelestial Realm can kill a Dedicant Realm 6th level in three punches. Is he powerful or is Tang Shaotai just that weak?"
"Lai Guojianglong, I don't know how the Hero Gang will handle it next. It seems that reaching the 6th stage of the Transcendence Realm is not enough, maybe they have to come to the 7th, 8th or 9th stage."
"In my opinion, even if the Hero Gang reaches the 9th stage, they may not be able to do much. They can easily defeat someone at the 6th stage with just three punches, so what can they do at the 9th stage? If they come to the Nascent Soul stage, they can definitely subdue him, but even the Nascent Soul stage has to consider reputation. It's a matter of face to go after someone from a higher realm."
"You can't underestimate the Hero Clan either. They have been here for thousands of years and may not have the strongest combat power, but they possess some powerful formations. Once they are drawn into the formations, even if they have wings, they will find it hard to fly."
“……”
Gujia is indeed a little fellow who often lurks in the archaeological site. After entering the site, she walks and introduces the situation inside, cherishing every detail; she occasionally greets the children she encounters, big or small.
After a brief exchange with a Daoist cultivator in her thirties named Gu Jia, Qin Wubo asked her, "Gu Jia, how do you know so many people, and it seems like they are willing to share what they know with you?"
Ko Chia shook his head: "It's not entirely true. Among the guides here, there are those with 2000 or 1800, divided into seven different groups."
"Although people from different groups do communicate, what they say may be true or false, so we need to listen more and verify. We are all guides, but we might stumble into the hands of our clients or formations. Although we rarely use force, information is not always reliable, so we need to discern it ourselves."
Qin Mian almost stumbled.
It was simply astonishing to hear those words from a nine-year-old girl.
He thought he had experienced a lot, but in this respect, he really had no idea how far behind he was compared to her.
It really verifies the saying: Different people have different difficulties in their lives. Thinking that someone else's life is very good is just not understanding others.
Hearing this, Jane's eyes turned red. She didn't expect that Goojia's way of earning resources would be so dangerous.
When her father was still alive, the mother and daughter didn't have to worry about these things, although life was simple, they were carefree; after her father had an accident, she went to Gussai to ask for the storage ring and related rewards, but was severely injured by them, and from then on started depleting their family fortune, life getting worse day by day.
She didn't know that Gu Jia, who was less than five years old, became sensible very quickly. At the age of five, she saw someone who could bring foreign monks in to earn resources, so she began to consciously ask those guides and slowly brought some monks to some peripheral places, gradually going deeper and heading towards dangerous areas.
Qin Wu Bo asked, "Isn't there anyone who wants to fight you, and every team you bring is willing to pay you?"
Gu Jia pouted and said, "There are. But there are fewer people who fight than those who don't pay. I'm so young, if someone fights me, others will say so."
Qin Wu asked, "What if those guests ask you to break the formation?"
Gu Jia shook his head, "That is rarely ever asked. However, I am also working hard to learn formations, and there are many that I can enter."
Talking is easy, thinking deeply is terrifying, it's all hardship.
After turning left and right for 300 miles, Gujia pointed to a huge gray area ahead and said, "Master, two senior brothers, this is the Classic Pavilion of the He Xi Sect. Although most of the scriptures were taken away when the He Xi Sect was annihilated, many cultivators still try to enter, and some people have obtained some books from inside."
Qin Wubo looked at Qin Mian and said, "Xiaomian, shall we go in and try our luck?"
Qin Mian smiled and said, "Sure. Coming here is all about seeking opportunities. If others can achieve something, we might also have a chance."
For him, coming here is not just out of curiosity, but to say "magic circle is also energy" in a log. He used to be confused about this statement because the formations he set up were relatively basic, and the borrowing force formation in the Medicine Valley Secret Realm is not considered advanced. He wants to come here and give it a try.
Previously, the level of cultivation was not high, and the system displayed the energy of formation materials very clearly. However, as the system upgraded time and time again, the display of energy for low-level formation materials became very indistinct. That's why he needs to come here for verification and see how the energy of advanced formation materials is displayed.
Another idea is that since it is energy, it means that the "Heavenly Opening and Primordial Chaos Formula" can absorb it. This can be a method to break the formation, but it needs to be verified. If it is possible, then in the future, breaking through formations set up by others will become simple and straightforward, as you just need to absorb it.
On hearing this, Gu Jia immediately said, "Master, Senior Brothers, I have gone over a mile in before. Let me lead you in first."
