Chapter 501: Chapter 197: Breaking the Five Elements Formation

The white figure had appeared so abruptly, but thanks to Lin Jing’s timely reaction, he barely dodged it.

After evading, Lin Jing realized that he and the others had been separated and could no longer see anyone else.

Just as Lin Jing was pondering how to search for the others, a fluctuation suddenly came from not far behind him, followed by a muffled groan.

Then came an exclamation:

“What the hell is this thing?”

Clearly, someone other than Lin Jing had also encountered an attack, just like him.

Immediately after, Lin Jing felt strong fluctuations of cultivation energy behind him, with immense spiritual power erupting and stirring the mist into disarray.

Since they were all close together before, Lin Jing felt it particularly keenly.

Judging by the situation, it seemed that some of the others were engaged in a fight with the white figure.

However, the fight didn’t last long, only a few breaths’ time before it ceased.

At that moment, a voice came from ahead.

“What’s going on?”

This voice was somewhat aged, likely belonging to the Island Master of True Dragon Island.

No sooner had the Island Master’s voice faded away than another voice arose from a short distance behind Lin Jing:

“It’s nothing…”

“Just now we ran into a puppet attack, but it’s been dealt with.”

Then, Bai Yi’s voice came from the front:

“Be careful. There are quite a few formations here. If we’re not cautious, even the three of us could end up in hot water.”

“Don’t worry, Island Master, we’ll be careful…” from not far beside Lin Jing, Xue Yilin’s voice followed.

Although they were not far apart, Lin Jing could not detect Xue Yilin’s presence even when expanding his Divine Sense.

He could only determine his location by sound, which was not far from him.

“Don’t get too far away; stay close to us…”

Bai Yi’s voice came through again.

“Okay…”

Afterward, Lin Jing followed the voices, groping his way forward.

Before long, the group had gathered again.

Even the cultivator who had gotten a bit further away due to the puppet attack arrived shortly after the others had regrouped.

After everyone had come together, Bai Yi brought out a copper candle Magical Treasure that emitted a bright red flame, casting a hazy red glow that enveloped them all.

The light from the flame dispersed much of the white mist around them.

Their line of sight instantly broadened from an initial range of about a meter to more than ten meters.

“From here on out, be cautious…”

Bai Yi spoke, issuing a warning, and then he led the group onward.

With the copper candle illuminating the way, their visibility greatly improved. This time, when they encountered another sneak attack, Lin Jing finally got a clear view of the assailant.

It was a humanoid puppet, completely white, blending in with the mist and hard to detect.

This time, with a wide-open view.

The humanoid puppet was noticed before it could launch an attack.

The three Island Masters at the front, upon spotting the puppet, took action immediately. With a single strike, the puppet burst apart, scattering its materials all over the ground.

The puppet was not very strong.

Even Lin Jing and the others found it easy to deal with.

The only issue was that the puppet could launch a surprise attack from within the mist, catching one off guard.

Now, with the copper candle Magical Treasure enhancing their visibility, the puppet’s only advantage—its concealment—no longer existed, so naturally, it posed no threat to the group.

In this manner, Lin Jing and the rest proceeded without incident, safely emerging from the range of the white fog.
