Chapter 353 - Chapter 353: Chapter 54 Thousand Islands Domain (2/2)

At that moment, Holaw Three Rivers took out a communication token and handed it to Lin Jing, and then said to him:

“Lin Daoyou, keep watch in this vicinity. If those two return, you notify us.”

Lin Jing looked at the two of them, puzzled, and asked:

“`

“Then what about you?”

“To prevent any other riffraff from escaping, we still need to make some preparations and set up some formations around Li Yan Island,” Lu Youjiu subsequently said.

“Mm, good…” Lin Jing nodded in agreement.

Soon thereafter.

Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers, the two of them, left on their flying swords.

……

And so, Lin Jing waited on the island for two days.

It wasn’t until the third day that Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers had both returned, while the two Golden Core Cultivators who took ‘Yan Shuishui’ had still not come back.

The three of them continued to wait. It wasn’t until the fourth day that they finally saw the two figures from a distance.

They brought back not only Yan Shuishui but also two little girls.

No wonder they showed up so late; it turned out that after completing the transaction with Lin Jing, the two Golden Core Cultivators, one tall and one short, went to buy other little girls.

However.

These two little girls were not from the demon race, but humans.

The two approached the coast of Li Yan Island and then took out a token from their persons. They began to form hand seals and chanted softly under their breath.

After a while, a crack appeared in the light screen of the formation, large enough for the two to pass through.

Afterward, the two of them entered the crack with Yan Shuishui and the other two little girls and then flew toward the center of Li Yan Island.

After the two had gone in, the crack in the formation also disappeared.

At this moment, Lu Youjiu spoke up, wearing a light smile, “Alright…”

“Now, it’s my turn to make a move.”

As he spoke, a soaring sword aura rose from Lu Youjiu’s body.

A Cold Light Longsword filled with piercing coldness was already in his hand.

Now, looking at Lu Youjiu, his gaze was profound as he stared at Li Yan Island, and there was a kind of despising-the-world demeanor about him.

“Are we going to have a drink for today’s battle?” Holaw Three Rivers asked.

Lu Youjiu looked down at the wine gourd at his waist, and then with a smile, he said, “It depends.”

“San He, leave those riffraff to you.”

“And Brother Lin, please help San He keep an eye out. Don’t let any other riffraff escape.”

“No problem…” Lin Jing replied.

After that, Lu Youjiu took off directly, flying towards Li Yan Island.

Lin Jing and Holaw Three Rivers followed Lu Youjiu, flying together toward Li Yan Island.

When they approached close to Li Yan Island, they stopped before getting too near.

At this time, Lu Youjiu said to Lin Jing, “We can’t go any further. Ahead is the range of the Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation.”

“Once we step in, we’ll trigger the Trap-Killing Formation.”

“This Trap-Killing Formation even has a hidden function?”

Lin Jing looked at the calm sea before him, where not the slightest trace of the formation could be detected.

“Of course…” Lu Youjiu stated directly.

Then, Lu Youjiu waved his hand, and a white sword qi burst forth violently, heading straight for the light barrier above Li Yan Island.

“Lin Daoyou, this…”

Lin Jing was taken aback, not understanding why Lu Youjiu suddenly unleashed a burst of sword qi at this moment.

However, right after the sword qi was released and touched the light screen,

An anomaly arose at this moment.

They saw a murky grey fog suddenly appear before the group, enveloping the island of Li Yan within it.

And within this grey fog, there were white silhouettes flashing incessantly, as if moving at high speed within the fog.

“Do you see those white silhouettes?”

Lu Youjiu lifted his sword, pointing towards the constantly flickering white shadows, and said.

“Mm,” Lin Jing nodded.

“These are actually Flying Swords, but they are mere illusions and not physical entities.”

“This is the Killing Formation within the Trap-Killing Formation, the Myriad Swords Killing Formation.”

“Don’t be fooled by the unassuming appearance of these light swords; with our level of cultivation, we could at most withstand a single strike.”

“Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, should they arrive, wouldn’t last long. Coupled with another entrapment formation, even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator did get trapped, without special escape methods, it would be difficult to avoid death.”

“It’s that powerful…”

Lin Jing frowned as he watched the white shadows shuttling rapidly through the grey fog, and he couldn’t help feeling a chill.

“However, a Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation is actually nothing much to speak of,” Lu Youjiu said at this time.

“Do you know why San He took this mission?” he asked Lin Jing soon after.

Lin Jing looked towards Holaw Three Rivers and shook his head, “I don’t…”

Holaw Three Rivers spoke up directly, “I took this mission because one of the rewards for this mission is a high-level formation tome.”

“If I can get my hands on this formation tome, it won’t be long before I can raise my formation level by another rank.”

Lu Youjiu then added, “San He is currently a Fourth-Rank Array Master. If he advances by one more rank, he will be a Fifth-Rank Array Master. By then, he alone would be able to set up a Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation.”

“This mission is perfect, as it would give access not only to that formation tome.”

“Once we eliminate Dai Mao, San He can also study this Trap-Killing Formation, which might help him advance even faster.”

“So that’s how it is, no wonder…” Lin Jing realized and said.
