Chapter 99 – A Smile Surprises Ten Thousand People
“I don’t know if Qi Yuming is dead or alive, perhaps he ran away?”

Fifty thousand miles away from the volcano terrain, Ning Jinglong stood at the top of a tree and looked away, seeing that the crimson colored precious light did not dissipate for a long time, his face full of gravity.

He was the one who had wanted to go and fight for the Fuzheng Qingyun Flag, but had been frightened by the heavenly thunder and turned around to flee.

He did not feel shame in his heart, but was only shocked that Zhou Xuan was able to master the Heavenly Thunder.

At that time, when he had crossed the Foundation Establishment Thunder Tribulation, the terrifying scene was still fresh in his mind, and he was already exhausted after crossing it.

After crossing it, he was even more exhausted after the tribulation. As for thinking about whether there were any thunder seeds within the tribulation, that kind of thought had not even surfaced.

Now but found that someone to accept, he is not jealous, on the contrary, very admirable and prudent.

If it was unusual, he would definitely want to make friends, but now in the Great Dao Mysterious Realm, those two were rivals.

Especially after learning a bit about Zhou Xuan’s character and learning that the other party was so murderous in nature, the more the other party was allowed to live for one more day, the lower his survival rate would be.

If at the end of the day, both Zhou Xuan and him were still alive, then his life was not in his own hands as it would be easy for Zhou Xuan to kill him at that time.

As for Zhou Xuan being in the late Foundation Establishment stage? Oh, sometimes small realms within the same large realm were very deceptive.

If one were to fight a protracted battle, then of course it would be Fate Spring Ruohai who would have a huge advantage, but unfortunately no one would be able to survive a round or two under Zhou Xuan.

“This fellow Qi Yuming, I wonder what relationship he has with Zhou Xuan, if he’s really dead, then that’s fine, if he’s still alive, then we’re sort of weeding out a natural spelunker.”

Hearing Ning Jinglong’s words, a silhouette stood at the top of a nearby tree, fixing his eyes on it, it was a beautiful looking young girl.

She had also been attracted by the precious light at that time, and had met Ning Jinglong halfway, the two of them had never known each other before.

However, because the aura of heavenly thunder in the distance had also caused her face to change, the two exchanged words from afar, and under a combined plan, they intended to cooperate.

With the publicity of the two, more and more people knew about Zhou Xuan’s situation, coupled with the invitation of the two Heaven’s Path Foundation Builders, they joined the team of Zhou’s supporters after judging the situation.

As the number of people grew, any cultivator who encountered a single person who was traveling alone, learned of the situation and joined in.

Even if this group of people did not verbally threaten these solo cultivators, but instead invited them in a kind voice, these solo cultivators did not dare to refuse once they saw how many people there were.

The people, just grew more and more.

Coupled with the fact that many had experienced the situation of fighting for exotic treasures, they almost described Zhou Xuan as a god of killing descending from the earth, anyway, how horrible, how murderous.

There were even people who bluntly said that Zhou Xuan this guy was posing as a Foundation Builder.

It was a good thing that everyone knew that this was the secret realm of the Great Dao of the Foundation Establishment Realm, or else they would have really let him frame in.

However, some of those who had never seen Zhou Xuan before were also shocked at his intimidating power, and while their hearts were nervous, they were also confident as they looked around at the gathering of so many Foundation Establishment Perfections.

Even if they were stronger, they were still Foundation Establishment ah.

Qi Yuming was also one of them, but someone in the crowd recognized him, stating that back when they first entered the Secret Realm, Qi Yuming had been captured by Zhou Xuan, and now that he wasn’t dead, the relationship between the two of them must be extraordinary.

Everyone didn’t believe what Qi Yuming said.

And after considering it, Ning Jinglong asked Qi Yuming to test Zhou Xuan.

Qi Yuming had no choice but to leave the group.

Originally, halfway there, he wanted to just run away, after all, he couldn’t take the Heavenly Dao Oath within the Great Dao Mirror, and if he wanted to leave, the others couldn’t do anything about it.

However, thinking left and right, Qi Yuming clenched his teeth and still looked for Zhou Xuan.

Mainly because, even if he survived today, what about later? What about waiting for the poison circle to narrow down?

If he ran off halfway and didn’t come back to inform, at that time, he who had committed the wrath of the crowd would definitely be the first to set fire to kill him.

As for Zhou Xuan, he had survived under the other party once, so maybe the other party would see him come to inform and reward him with some spirit weapons or something.

Not bad, Qi Yuming was planning to place bets on both ends.

However, he did not expect that Zhou Xuan would kill him directly after asking slightly about the situation.

As for Ning Jinglong not killing Qi Yuming, it was because he was afraid of affecting everyone’s morale if he killed one of his own before even going to Zhou Xuan.

“I didn’t expect someone to be able to master the Heavenly Thunder, there are indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons within this Huan Yu.”

Ning Jinglong sighed, but the young girl next to him, named Gorgeous Yu, shook her head, “Zhou Xuan is clearly an anomaly in the Foundation Establishment, you’ve been in the Great Dao Mirror for so long, have you ever heard of someone who has mastered Heavenly Lightning?”

“Naturally, no.”

If there was such a person, unless they didn’t appear for the rest of their lives, the great probability was that they couldn’t be hidden.

Ning Jinglong stopped feeling sentimental as he inquired, “How many people are in the Zhou Suppression team now?”

“Eight thousand, and that number is still increasing.”

“My divine ability can integrate up to a thousand people into a formation, when the time comes, I will use the trap formation as the main focus and the kill formation as a supplement, to make sure that Zhou Xuan is consumed to death within the formation.”

“What if Zhou Xuan is still a Formation Master?”

“Impossible.” Ning Jinglong said with certainty, “Those who can Heaven’s Path Foundation Establishment, even if they reach Foundation Establishment Completion, they must not be very old, not to mention the fact that the other party is only in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he doesn’t even have enough time to cultivate, let alone study formations.”

“Also.”

Zhou Xuan was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the other party’s Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he definitely didn’t have the time to study formations, was it bad to have that time to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Perfection, Life Springs like the sea?

“In that case, eight thousand people is still not much I think. Let’s circle around that volcano and integrate some more people, a number of ten to twenty thousand is about right.”

Ning Jinglong was clearly a cautious person as he said, “By then, no matter how many people there are, we’ll have to encircle past it at the hour of the next day, and with plenty of time, we’ll still be able to go and fight for the second exotic treasure.”

“Indeed we have to be quick, otherwise Zhou Xuan will surely go and fight for the second exotic treasure.”

If the second foreign treasure descended, by then, even if they had integrated so many people, under the lure of the foreign treasure, it might become chaotic again.

After all, everyone was cooperating solely on the basis of their fear of Heavenly Lightning, and there wasn’t really much of a basis for trust.

At this time, they also saw Zhou Xuan’s purpose clearly, this fellow, for some reason, wanted to use the precious light of the exotic treasure to attract others to go over and die.

As for why? Many people couldn’t figure it out.

Many smart people actually didn’t understand it at first, but they soon figured it out.

This Zhou Xuan, most likely, wanted to try and see if he could obtain a flawless evaluation. It was only the first round, and for the other party to think that far ahead, they really didn’t put them in their eyes.

“Brother Ning, Miss Hua, another dozen or so Foundation Establishment Perfections have sneaked away.”

Another person came up, this person had a youthful face but a burly figure, exuding a savage aura, clearly a physical cultivator by the name of Yu Wenyang.

At this time, Yu Wen Yang, spoke with a speechless face, his expression was even more dissatisfied, “Do you want me to bring someone over to slaughter them all?”

“Just.” Ning Jinglong didn’t want to cause trouble, “There are a lot of people, and it’s not easy to manage in itself, if we act coolly, it’s very likely that we’ll make people fall to Zhou Xuan’s side, and even if we don’t, it’s very likely that we’ll add more obstacles to my way, and they can leave if they want to.”

“Not bad, and with over 8,000 people, only these people left, the rest didn’t leave, obviously all understand that this Zhou Xuan fellow must die.”

If Zhou Xuan didn’t die, a few days later, maybe they would all be killed by this fellow.

Soon after, Ning Jinglong asked everyone to gather, and then said his thoughts, seeing that everyone had no opinions, they planned to consolidate some more people, making sure to get rid of Zhou Xuan once and for all tomorrow morning.

There were many people in Ning Jinglong’s shadow room, and many cultivators roamed between Zhou Xuan and Ning Jinglong’s two shadow rooms, just to learn what these two were doing.

Zhou Xuan was resting with his eyes closed, looking rather bored, after all, everyone around him was scared of being killed.

And after learning of Ning Jinglong’s decision, some of the more experienced people could not help but shake their heads, still too young.

To know that sometimes not the more people the better, Ning Jinglong himself had said that he could only utilize a thousand people to set up the formation, then around five thousand people would be the best.

One thousand people to set up the formation, one thousand people to standby, and the remaining few thousand people to enter the formation to strangle Zhou Xuan, five thousand people was more than enough. However, Ning Jinglong was young after all, and to be able to integrate that many people was already a leader amongst the Celestial Pride.

If he could survive the Great Dao Mysterious Realm, there might even be a place for the other party within the Huanwu in the future.

In one night’s time, the group of eight thousand people had traveled most of the way around the volcano.

During that time, because someone left on the way, it was learned by everyone and caused some commotion.

Seeing this, Ning Jinglong only said a few words:

“That Zhou Xuan didn’t run after seizing the exotic treasure, but turned back to kill people… with such a temperament of this person, do you think that in a few days’ time, they will spare you?”

“And I’m certain that the other party will definitely fight for the rest of the exotic treasures, if the exotic treasures are all obtained by the other party, our lives will be in the other party’s pocket.”

“And I’m sure that many of you have guessed what Zhou Xuan is going to do, so you may as well tell the guesses in your hearts to some of your brothers and sisters who don’t know yet.”

These words caused many people to fall silent.

And there were others who were indeed puzzled, this Zhou Xuan fellow’s actions were irrational in every way.

After some speculative explanations, everyone came to a realization.

It turned out that Zhou Xuan was planning to try and see if he could complete the 『Perfectly Flawless』 evaluation, and as this thought popped up, another thought followed, so would the other party leave anyone alive?

Although it was only a guess, if one thought so, all of Zhou Xuan’s actions would be reasonable.

This time, everyone’s faces turned ugly.

In the Secret Realm of Reincarnation, one thousand people could survive each round.

If they were Zhou Xuan, would they leave a thousand people behind?
Judging themselves, some thought of what Zhou Xuan had done, and although their hearts were chilled, they still burned with anger.

This was to use them all as stepping stones.

“Zhou Xuan must die, or else with the other party’s disposition, we will surely die, so all of you should not take any chances. Now that we have several Heaven’s Path Foundation Builders from Brother Ning, this is the best chance to kill Zhou Xuan, if we miss it, then we really won’t have a chance.”

These words made everyone think deeply.

After gathering the hearts of the crowd, in one night’s time Ning Jinglong gathered a total of seventeen thousand people, almost occupying two percent of the total number of people in the Secret Realm.

The reason why so many people, but also have to thank Fuyao Qingyun Banner, after all, there are a lot of far away from the cultivators, still do not know this side of the situation, see the different baby light, one by one as if smelling the blood of piranhas, flocked to.

After learning about the situation, all did not hesitate to join Ning Jinglong’s team.

The next day, the hour of the hour.

Zhou Xuan, who had been resting his eyes with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and as he swept his eyes, he laughed out loud, “Finally, it’s here, it’s not in vain that I’ve been waiting for you guys for so long.”

“Arrogant!”

“Zhou Xuan, this time is different from the past, today you will surely die.”

“You should be honored to have so many of us gathered to hang you.”

Below the forest, countless silhouettes rushed up into the sky, the foremost thousand of them, circling around the volcano, also encircling Zhou Xuan in the center.

A thousand people, in groups of a hundred, formed a huge column from the bottom upwards.

Behind them, a thousand people stood in wait, also making the same movements.

The remaining fifteen thousand or so people were all on the periphery as well, surrounding Zhou Xuan.

Only waiting for Zhou Xuan to fall into the grand formation and get lost, they would directly kill the formation and behead him.

Everyone thought that Zhou Xuan would definitely turn pale when he saw so many people, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan stood in the crater, looking at so many of them, his expression was delighted, and he laughed recklessly, “Good good good!”

Under the laughter, his breath was even more bulging and vibrating, obviously excited.

This scene made the faces of everyone present ugly, and their hearts were a little chilly for some reason.

They didn’t know why, seeing so many people, this guy was still able to laugh out, still able to be so wild, still able to be so arrogant as well as so confident.

Some of the cultivators who had been competing for the exotic treasures yesterday even immediately beat a retreat in their hearts because of Zhou Xuan’s loud laughter.

Just the thought that there were so many of them and they were still trying to retreat, they couldn’t help but become annoyed.

“This son’s prowess has become established under yesterday’s killings, if we can’t kill Zhou Xuan this time, then the lives of all the cultivators within this secret territory will be in Zhou Xuan’s control.”

“Hiss… for some reason, I am also a little agitated.”

“A siege of over seventeen thousand people, almost all of which are Foundation Establishment Perfection, even if the Purple Mansion came then it would still have to drink its hate.”

Even if the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment’s Transformation Dragon and Purple Mansion if they saw so many people and learned that it was all Foundation Establishment Perfection, then they would have to run away immediately.

The Purple Mansion can definitely kill a bloody road, then the Hualong will definitely die.

Sometimes quantitative changes can cause qualitative changes.

Of course, it is still the case that there is no formation, if there is a formation, the Purple Mansion, which is not familiar with the formation, will not be able to escape.

Cultivators in the shadow-retaining room also stared wide-eyed, wanting to see what the outcome of this earth-shattering battle would be.

As the battle was about to begin, the number of people in Zhou Xuan’s Shadow Retention Room was rising wildly, and it was clear that those who had received news of the situation couldn’t help but be curious enough to come and take a look.

“Set up the formation!”

Ning Jinglong saw that the people around him were actually cowed by Zhou Xuan’s loud laughter, his heart was shocked at Zhou Xuan’s might, and he knew that he could not waste any more time.

He gave a loud shout, then rushed up into the sky and came to the very top, then he stretched out his finger towards his heart and a mouthful of essence blood sprayed out from his mouth.

As for the thousand people who surrounded Zhou Xuan, they had taken out their respective Spiritual Weapons early on.

The essence blood that Ning Jinglong had sprayed out directly turned into a thousand portions, surging into the spirit weapons amongst these thousand people.

In the next moment, Ning Jinglong took out his own supreme spiritual weapon, a large bell that was half black and half white.

With a calm gaze, he glanced towards Zhou Xuan below, only to see the other party grinning towards him.

With a tremor in his heart, Ning Jinglong’s entire body merged into the black and white bell, which then shook violently.

Clang-

The moment the bell sounded, the spirit weapons in the hands of the surrounding thousand cultivators bloomed with light, and these lights rushed into the black and white great bell.

In the next instant, this black and white great bell violently became huge in the middle of the field of vision, this exaggerated size, even bigger than a volcano, surprisingly, it was able to envelop the thousand cultivators as well, not to mention Zhou Xuan.

Boom.

In an instant, the black and white great bell capped towards the great underground, enveloping the entire volcano.

The sound rang out, but there was no dust, the terrain was not destroyed, and everything around it was normal.

Obviously, this black and white bell stood between heaven and earth, but it was not a real entity, it was only a visual effect that appeared under the enhancement of the great formation.

But thinking that Ning Jinglong was only a Foundation Establishment Perfection, it was also normal.

“Zhou Xuan, this formation is called the Taiyin and Sun Two-Embodied Diffractive Boundary Grand Formation, which I created with my divine ability.”

“Since the creation of the formation, due to the difficulty in performing it, it has only been tested at home and has never been released to the world.”

“Today, because of you, it is being revealed for the first time within the Huanwu, after killing you, in the future, I will make this formation famous in the Huanwu, not counting the humiliation of you who can master the Heavenly Thunder.”
