Battle of Horns was ecstatic; the Peak of Earth Soul Realm was just a step away from the Soul Realm! Although that step was incredibly difficult, having a Peak Soul Realm Expert emerge from the Eighth-Rank Sect would mean everything.
The joy on Battle of Horns's face was evident as thoughts of Jiaoleimen potentially soaring to new heights pushed aside the deaths of the Golden Dragon Embroiderer and Silver Dragon Embroiderer. He didn't even want to think about it anymore.
The elder nodded and said, "I just broke through recently to the Peak of Earth Soul Realm. This is not my final destination. I still have over a decade to live, and during this time, I will surely refine my Martial Soul, extending my life by several decades to protect Jiaoleimen! Jiaoleimen is the culmination of our family's efforts, and sooner or later, I will witness it become a Nine-Rank Sect!"
The elder cast a deep glance at Battle of Horns and continued, "You must work hard to break through to the Earth Soul Realm, passing the Three Trials, so you can become a true expert. After reaching Earth Soul Realm Level Four, your understanding and absorption of Soul Power will enter a new level. At that point, you will know what that feeling is like—indescribable."
"Congratulations, Ancestor! Your strength has grown; with you leading us, Jiaoleimen will stand firm! Under your guidance, we will surely reach the pinnacle," said Battle of Horns, his words a mix of sincerity and flattery, his face beaming with smiles.
Ancestor Jiao nodded slightly but suddenly frowned. "Did you just say that the Grand Elder and the Second Elder are dead?"
"Yes, they died in Maguan City. News from there indicates that a so-called Peach Blossom Sect's Grandmaster of Formation deliberately targeted us, setting up countless formations within the city lord's mansion in Maguan City, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of our disciples," replied Battle of Horns, anger flashing in his eyes.
Over all these years, only this incident dared to defile Jiaoleimen! Even the Blackwater Sect had shown some deference towards them.
Under the banner of the Blackwater Sect, there were many Eighth-Rank Sects, but few were as formidable as Jiaoleimen. They controlled a vast territory and wielded significant power; thus, the Blackwater Sect did not want to offend them recklessly. Although it would take only one night for the Blackwater Sect to eradicate Jiaoleimen, they would not do so lightly. They had many dogs, but only a few had turned into wolves.
Perhaps once they became wolves, they would no longer be as obedient as dogs. However, wolves had their advantages; being disobedient was not necessarily a bad thing.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Jiao was taken aback. "A Peach Blossom Sect? A Grandmaster of Formation? How come I have never heard of them? Have I been so isolated in my cultivation these years that I missed their emergence?"
"Ancestor, it's not quite like that. The so-called Peach Blossom Sect may not even truly exist. The news from Maguan City suggests that it hasn't been fully established yet. However, killing the Grand Elder and the Second Elder means that if they are indeed connected to this sect, they must have someone backing them," explained Battle of Horns.
"In that case, I shall go personally! Allowing someone to kill our Grand Elder and the Second Elder is akin to letting them ride on our necks—it is intolerable! No matter how dangerous it is, we must fight for our dignity! I have just broken through to the Peak of Earth Soul Realm, gaining some vague insights into the Soul Realm. It’s perfect timing for me to practice against this inexplicable Peach Blossom Sect!"
"Battle of Horns, gather our forces immediately! We won't return until those people are eliminated; without doing so, there is no need for us to exist as Jiaoleimen!"
Though his expression remained calm, deep within his eyes burned with fury.
"To think they dared to oppress us, the Jiaoleimen, they are truly seeking death!"
A massive Warship sped towards Maguan City, moving at an incredible pace, taking less than two hours.
Time was running out for Wei Chen.
"Gu Yuehong, can this Extermination Formation kill an Earth Soul Realm Expert?" Wei Chen asked while hurriedly setting up the formation.
"It's a piece of cake. As long as you can unleash even one ten-thousandth of the Extermination Formation's power, killing anyone from the Soul World will be easy," Gu Yuehong replied calmly.
"Stop talking nonsense. Don't keep comparing this to Hua Xia World; this is Soul World, and the power of formations and the materials used for the formation eye are entirely different."
"The biggest difference is probably your own strength, right? As far as I know, the stronger the person is, the greater the power of the formation they can set up. Your strength isn't enough, and since it's your first time setting up a formation, it's uncertain whether you can even activate it successfully."
"That's true; I guess it depends on luck."
Wei Chen suddenly felt a wave of frustration. The Extermination Formation was considered quite advanced among spirit stone formations, not something basic. Whether he could activate it on his first attempt was indeed challenging.
However, Wei Chen continued to work diligently. Regardless of whether it would succeed or not, he had to try. Even if he failed this time, accumulating some experience from failure would increase his chances of success next time he set up a formation.
Setting up formations was incredibly difficult; countless people dedicated themselves to studying formations, yet even very ordinary formations were often beyond their reach. For all martial artists, formations were something that could only be encountered by chance. With Formation Assignment, one could soar to great heights; without it, no amount of effort would yield results. The situation was different for other Soul Techniques; even if one had some shortcomings, diligent practice and research could still lead to success.
In Soul World, the status of Formation Masters was incredibly high due to their scarcity. It was possible that news of the Grandmaster of Formation from Peach Blossom Sect spread quickly from Maguan City. In just a short time, many people had heard of Peach Blossom Sect but only knew its name without understanding its essence.
The Extermination Formation was extremely complex; even with Wei Chen's exceptional Formation Assignment skills, the intricate structure gave him a headache. Setting up an Extermination Formation required thousands of Soul Stones and Formation Bases; activating it was no simple task.
After spending a long time arranging the Extermination Formation, Wei Chen felt both excited and anxious. When the Jiaoleimen's powerful team arrived, whether he could activate the Extermination Formation would be crucial.
"This formation is far more complex than a Ninth-Rank Formation in Soul World. Compared to formations in Soul World, it's conservatively a true Tenth-Rank Formation. With my current strength, setting up such a formation is incredibly difficult. If it weren't for special circumstances, engaging in such a thankless task wouldn't be worth it."
"If we can't activate it in time, then we'll have to let Gu Yuehong be exposed. However, within the formation of the City Lord's Mansion, only we know who killed the members of Jiaoleimen. It won't be so easy to reveal that."
Wei Chen made up his mind and flew above the City Lord's Mansion, waiting quietly.
Ji Mei and Gu Yuehong gathered around him.
"Wei Chen, where did you learn your formations? I heard Han Mang is a Formation Master and that there's a place called Peach Blossom Island in the Eastern Region, where formations are densely packed. Even ordinary Earth Soul Realm Experts can't break in," Ji Mei asked Wei Chen.
"Since you already know, why ask?" Wei Chen replied with a smile.
"Is that lecherous old man Han Mang really that skilled in formations?" Ji Mei frowned and asked.
"Very strong, indeed. At least, I've never seen anyone with better skills than him."
Ji Mei's expression suddenly turned strange. "Do you know that in the Central Domain, a Formation Master's treatment is countless times better than that of other Soul Warriors? A Formation Master can join any Ninth-Rank Power and will receive the highest honors."
Wei Chen shook his head. "I didn't know that. I feel that old man has decent skills in formations, but perhaps in your eyes, he might just be average?"
"Impossible! Since your skills in formations are so strong, Han Mang must be exceptional as well. Now I have some confidence to directly establish a Nine-Rank Sect with you. With powerful formations, as long as we have enough preparation time, we can completely fend off enemies. The biggest fear is being provoked by another Nine-Rank Sect in the same territory or having an Eighth-Rank Sect causing trouble. You can definitely handle an Eighth-Rank Sect, and Blackwater Sect has been declining severely over the years; they probably won't bother you much."
Ji Mei paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, Thunderstorm will come personally. If that's the case, establishing a Nine-Rank Sect in Blackwater Territory will allow us to quickly gain a foothold."
"That's for sure! Whatever we do, we should aim for the best. If we're going to make a sound, it should be one that astonishes everyone; that's my goal," Wei Chen said cheerfully.
"Let's work hard and establish our foothold quickly to prepare for the upcoming chaos."
A trace of worry crossed Ji Mei's face. The Sea Tribe Army was already mobilizing to root out the Soul Palace; this was the only way forward. Although Ji Mei was very concerned about this, she had no choice; it was Ji Pokong's order, which she dared not disobey.
"Chaos?" Wei Chen was taken aback but then recalled Ji Pokong's secret plan and nodded knowingly. "It's fine; I'll cooperate with your father’s act to achieve maximum effect with minimal cost and get the Soul Palace out into the open. With the Soul Palace lurking in the shadows, I can't rest easy."
Wei Chen would never forget that the Soul Palace was his greatest enemy in the Central Domain.
Ji Mei and Wei Chen chatted casually, and time slipped away unnoticed until a massive white Warship appeared in their line of sight.
"Who dares to offend my Jiaoleimen?"
A thunderous roar came crashing down, accompanied by a terrifying Heat Wave that visibly tore through the air, roaring forward with unstoppable force.
"A Minor Technique, and you dare to show it off?"
Wei Chen shouted, suddenly advancing several dozen meters. He murmured a few words, and a mountain abruptly appeared, standing tall in front of the Heat Wave!
Wei Chen's body was positioned at the very center of the mountain, as if he alone were holding up this massive structure with sheer willpower!
The Heat Wave ultimately collided with the mountain. The mountain Phantom swayed a few times, emitting dark runes that repelled the Heat Wave back.
In an instant, the Heat Wave swept over the Warship, causing it to sway precariously before coming to a halt several hundred meters away from Wei Chen.
Battle of Horns and Ancestor Jiao stood on the deck of the Warship, gazing at the mountain that Wei Chen was supporting. A look of apprehension crossed their faces.
"What is that thing? It feels very much like a summoned Martial Soul. But his strength is only at the first level of Human Soul Realm; how could he possibly summon such a powerful Martial Soul?"
