Guan Yue smiled and said, "Are you trying to lure us in to catch us all at once? Since you refuse to drink the wine offered and choose the punishment instead, don't blame us for taking action. First, let your clan leader come out and apologize to us. Otherwise, we won't stop."
Guan Yue's tone was quite smug, with a clear hint of mockery.
Mu Huaiyang could no longer hold back. He snorted coldly and said, "I don't know who is refusing the wine offered and choosing the punishment instead. Since that's the case, don't blame our Mu Family for not giving you face."
As he spoke, he flashed forward and shouted, "Formation Attack!"
After his shout, the entire Mu Family Formation underwent a shocking transformation. A raging fire erupted across the top of the formation, flames soaring up to fifty zhang high, turning the sky a deep red.
At the same time, five large pillars began to change, transforming into five flame launchers. Torrents of white flames poured down from above onto the entire formation, creating a double-layered flame encirclement: the bottom layer was fueled by flames rising from the formation's top, while the main layer consisted of white flames descending from the five pillars.
Especially notable were the white flames from the five pillars, which were formed from advanced fire energy, even surpassing the intensity of flames produced by a Peak Fire Sprite. The destructive power was terrifying.
As a result, Guan Yue and his companions were forced to retreat from the formation area.
Gao Yuxin frowned as she stared at the formation, looking puzzled.
Seeing her confusion, Guan Yue explained, "This formation is called Initial and Final Formation. It's a basic advanced formation that is often seen but rarely this massive. The top of the formation contains Ethylene Gas ignited by the five giant pillars, which require a continuous source of energy to maintain their burning. Right now, we can only destroy these five pillars; otherwise, it will be very difficult to break this formation."
Gao Yuxin pondered for a moment before suggesting, "We can do it this way: attack each pillar separately and then break the formation. Senior Brother and Lan Xuelei will handle the attacks while Ruyi Girl supports them. The rest of us—Guan Tian, Lan Xuelei's clone, Lat's Hand, and Jin Xi—will form a fan-shaped protective formation. I'm worried they might have other means. This Mu Family has been lurking for many years; they must have some backup plans. Everyone must be very careful."
Ruyi Girl nodded in agreement with Gao Yuxin's suggestion. The group immediately dispersed.
Guan Yue, Lan Xuelei, and Ruyi Girl went directly to one of the pillars on the east side. Now Lan Xuelei had completely taken over her clone's position and had become Guan Yue's woman. Their bond was stronger than ever; their cooperation was more effective because Lan Xuelei's true strength surpassed that of her clone.
Once Lat's Hand and Jin Xi took their protective positions, Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei aimed at the base of the giant pillar and struck together with a single sword strike—this strike represented the ultimate power of Yongning Continent; nothing could block it. With that one strike, the giant pillar collapsed with a thunderous roar.
The sound was deafening! It crushed countless tall buildings and sent clouds of dust swirling into the air.
Guan Yue and Lan Xuelei quickly flew away from the scene for fear that the collapsing pillar would fall on them. Such a massive collapse could potentially harm even their peak Eternal Realm Disciples.
They quickly rushed towards the second giant pillar, when suddenly, the space was locked down. A very domineering voice, as grand as thunder, echoed above the Mu Family: "Junior, you have gone too far. Get lost. Do not disturb my meditation."
Guan Yue and the others immediately felt a heavy pressure descending upon them. Guan Yue even thought that this pressure was stronger than that of the Little Ancestor Saint. He cast a puzzled glance at Lan Xuelei, who was also looking at him, muttering under his breath, "Impossible. How can there be such a powerful pressure, even surpassing my master?"
Ruyi Girl was also surprised but quickly smiled and waved her small hand, causing the locked Spatial Power to dissipate instantly. She then said, "Which Expert dares to be so arrogant? Come out and meet me."
"Hmm? Who is here? How dare you disrupt my spell?" The thunderous voice rang out again, filled with incredulous confusion.
Ruyi Girl coldly replied, "Brother, do you not know who I am, Satisfaction?"
As soon as Satisfaction's words fell, a red light burst forth from the center of the Mu Family Formation's giant pillar. The red light radiated everywhere, and within it stood a handsome young man with delicate features.
The young man looked at Ruyi Girl in astonishment and immediately bowed in greeting, saying, "I did not know Ruyi Girl was here; I failed to welcome you properly. My apologies." Everyone was shocked to learn that the thunderous voice had actually come from him; it was truly hard to believe.
Satisfaction looked at the beautiful young man before him and laughed: "I thought it was someone else; turns out it's you. The enlightening spell I cast on you seems to have worked well; it completely concealed your ugliness, and you turned out to be a handsome young man. You must have harmed countless maidens."
The young man bowed again and said, "I will never forget the grace of the fairy."
At this moment, the young man suddenly realized: "Fairy, you must have come for Master Mo?"
Ruyi Girl's expression tightened as she immediately asked, "Has something happened to Molang?"
The young man shook his head slightly and said, "Master Mo is not in trouble; rather, he has encountered a major issue."
Ruyi Girl's face turned cold as she unleashed her infinite power completely, creating an overwhelming force that covered the heavens and earth, directly pressing down on the young man.
Instantly, Guan Yue and the others felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them; an immense weight descended from above. Lan Xuelei exclaimed in shock to Guan Yue: "This... this... Ruyi Girl is definitely a Great Deity! No one can rival her in our Yongning Continent."
The young man bore the direct pressure and found it increasingly difficult to withstand. Thus, he exerted his strength to resist while struggling to explain: "Fairy, please do not be angry. We are not opposing you; it is heaven's people who have already captured Master Mo!"
"Who?" Ruyi Girl still did not loosen her grip, staring intently at the handsome young man in front of her.
"At that time, only three of them came, claiming to be Lu Fang, Western, and White City. They took Master Mo away," the young man said. Upon hearing this, Guan Yue immediately believed him. Moreover, Guan Yue was certain that the three from Lu Fang had promised him that they would not report the young man's unauthorized stay in Yongning Continent.
From the incident involving Sea God Badalin, Guan Yue realized that not all experts wished to go to Upper Space. Since this young man was acquainted with Ruyi Girl and had received the enlightenment technique from her years ago, he must be at least several thousand years old. It seemed that Upper Space indeed posed significant risks, making it daunting for many.
No wonder White City had always prevented Lu Fang from revealing information about Upper Space; they feared that the lower realms would become even more apprehensive and reluctant to venture there.
Understanding this made Guan Yue feel a surge of determination. If I don't fear Heaven, what space should I be afraid of? I must seize the opportunity to see what kind of perilous place makes these old fellows hesitate!
Ruyi Girl also understood the young man's predicament. Thinking about how she had to hide at the bottom of the sea for tens of thousands of years, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
She turned to look at Guan Yue because she knew he had encountered Lu Fang before and had witnessed the demise of White City firsthand. She wanted to hear his opinion.
Thus, Guan Yue asked the young man, "Senior, where have Lu Fang and the others taken Mo Senior?"
The young man was still under Ruyi Girl's immense pressure, so he spoke slowly: "Among the three, it was that Western Girl who took Master Mo away. We didn't dare to ask their destination."
Only then did Guan Yue turn to Ruyi Girl and whisper, "Ruyi Girl, fortunately, Lu Fang and their group have not yet found a way to leave Yongning Continent. We must seize this opportunity for a gamble; otherwise, if they escape, it will be too late for regrets."
Ruyi Girl immediately said to the young man, "Open the formation now; I want to take a look around."
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "I only ask Fortune Fairy to show mercy and spare my Mu Family."
Ruyi Girl coldly replied, "I will handle it myself; just open the formation."
With that, the young man waved his hand, and four massive pillars slowly descended as the entire formation gradually disappeared. The entire Mu Family structure was revealed before everyone’s eyes. Ruyi Girl repeatedly scanned with her Divine Sense but found no trace of Molang before finally retracting her Divine Sense.
A wave of sadness washed over her heart, deepening her sorrow. It seemed this trip would yield no results.
The handsome young man from the Mu Family, Guan Yue, was discussing with Ruyi Girl, Gao Yuxin, Lan Xuelei, Lat's Hand, Jin Xi, and others.
Guan Yue said, "Lu Fang and his group are here to search for the Supreme Treasure, and the ancestors in the ancient tomb told me that the Supreme Treasure is located at Snowy Luo Peak. Why don't we go directly to Snowy Luo Peak and find the Supreme Treasure first? Then we will have the leverage to negotiate with them."
Gao Yuxin agreed, saying, "As long as we obtain the Supreme Treasure, once we let it be known, they will come looking for us."
Ruyi Girl angrily said, "The Mu Family is despicable. Once we find Molang, we will settle the score with them. They shouldn't think they can act recklessly just because they have an old acquaintance around."
Gao Yuxin also concurred, "After rescuing our senior, we can ask their opinion and see how the Mu Family treats him. Only then will we decide how to take our revenge."
Ruyi Girl nodded in agreement.
Thus, they all entered the Sky-Sealing Tower and left above the Mu Family.
The young man watched as Guan Yue and the others entered the Sky-Sealing Tower and then disappeared.
His expression immediately darkened because he knew that Fortune Fairy was someone who would seek revenge without fail. Once they found Master Mo, she would definitely come to retaliate, especially since the Mu Family had not been very courteous towards Master Mo.
At first, he had not anticipated that Fortune Fairy would still be on Yongning Continent. He had only heard that she was deeply in love with Master Mo and had endured thousands of years of loneliness for him, which deeply moved the young man.
It was precisely because of this feeling that he understood how cruel revenge could be.
