Chapter 24 - Breaking the Formation

After Dan Wen's anger disappeared and he calmed down, the adrenaline vanished with it, making him finally feel the extent of how dangerous his injury was.

When Ling Tian saw his condition, he helped him stand while saying: "Let's leave here before the situation becomes more dangerous."

Dan Wen nodded and said while walking with Ling Tian's assistance, gratefully: "It seems I'll be relying on you once again for some time, Junior Brother Ling."

"Don't worry about such trivial matters. Come on, let's find a cave for you to recover first," Ling Tian said indifferently.

After some time, Ling Tian found a suitable cave, and after closing the entrance, he helped Dan Wen sit in the lotus position, then went to train in the Swan Movement Technique himself.

After a full day of training in the Swan Movement Technique, Ling Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat thinking about the technique.

"The Swan Movement Technique requires not only directing your feet to match the terrain to achieve maximum propulsion, but also requires speed in doing so," Ling Tian thought calmly.

"Perhaps I need fifteen days to learn it. As for mastering it, maybe two months," Ling Tian analyzed the time it might take him to master the Swan Movement Technique.

Then he looked at Dan Wen, who was still sitting in the same position, and muttered: "It seems his injuries have started improving."

After thinking this, he decided to sleep for a few hours because he was exhausted from all this training.

Ling Tian woke up after a few hours and was happy to see Dan Wen doing well, although his skin looked yellow, but he was much better than yesterday.

Ling Tian nodded and said jokingly: "Fortunately, I won't have to bury you."

"How can I die when I haven't repaid my debt to you yet?" Dan Wen said seriously.

"Alright, we need to go. You didn't just come for revenge, did you? We need to find treasures," Ling Tian said as he moved the rock away from the cave entrance.

Dan Wen nodded and followed Ling Tian to search for treasures.

After a few hours, Ling Tian and Dan Wen found a spiritual beast at the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

If Ling Tian had been alone with Ling Yan, he wouldn't have thought about it, but with Dan Wen here, and even though he was injured, the three of them were able to hunt this spiritual beast.

"I was initially confused about how a second-level spiritual beast could advance to the fourth level in just a few months, but I remembered your strength, Brother Ling," Dan Wen said with understanding after seeing Ling Yan's power.

Ling Yan nodded, and he said with some regret: "But this speed won't continue for long if I don't break through."

Dan Wen nodded in understanding, but after looking at Ling Yan for some time, he remembered something and said: "Brother Ling, have you encountered a beast at the seventh level or higher?"

"If I had encountered such a beast, I wouldn't be standing here," Ling Tian mocked.

Dan Wen answered with some confusion: "Neither have I, but don't you think this is strange? With all these herbs and with the Qi concentration here, shouldn't there be many of them?"

After Dan Wen said this, Ling Tian noticed the strangeness in this situation and said cautiously: "Perhaps this place is more dangerous than it seems."

"What are you doing? It seems interesting."

When Ling Tian was thinking, and unlike every other time where he would surprise others, he heard a voice from behind him that made him jump from his place and draw his sword quickly, but he relaxed when he saw Xiao Yao.

Ling Tian said while releasing the breath he had been holding with relief: "Senior Sister Xiao, you almost scared me to death."

Dan Wen also nodded his head as a sign of agreement with Ling Tian's words.

Xiao Yao said with a smile: "That's the whole point of sneaking up behind you."

Both Dan Wen and Ling Tian almost spat blood at her words, but Xiao Yao's next words made them look with interest.

Xiao Yao said while heading in a certain direction: "Alright, we don't have time for more jokes. Follow me."

When both Ling Tian and Dan Wen saw Xiao Yao leaving, they looked at each other, then followed Xiao Yao.

And so that Ling Tian wouldn't reveal his strength to Xiao Yao, he rode on Ling Yan's back.

On the way, Dan Wen asked: "Senior Sister Xiao, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

Xiao Yao said calmly: "Who said I'm in a hurry? If I were, you would never be able to keep up with my speed."

After finishing her words, she changed direction to the left, then continued: "I found a group acting strangely, and after I beat them up thoroughly, I discovered something good."

Ling Tian said curiously: "What is it, Senior Sister Xiao?"

Xiao Yao said with some seriousness on her face: "Li Shang and Kong Hao Ran found a protection formation on a cave two days ago, and although they could destroy it if they united, they were afraid the cave would be destroyed."

After saying that, she turned to the right, then continued: "So they began sending people to search for a formation master to break the formation."

Dan Wen said seriously: "And did they find a formation master?"

Xiao Yao answered indifferently: "Yes, and from what I heard, it seems Fu Xing Han is also there. After the other three powers gathered, how could the Ji Lian Pavilion miss out on this cake?"

After a while, Ling Tian, Dan Wen, and Xiao Yao finally arrived.

There were more than twenty cultivators, and among them, surprisingly, was Li Yi.

In front of the formation, there was an old man studying the formation calmly.

When they approached, people began to notice them, and unlike Li Yi who was happy, the faces of the others were ugly.

Fu Xing Han could only grumble: "Great, even she came. Who's left that hasn't come?"

But Li Shang said sarcastically: "I was the one who discovered this place first. Why are you angrier than me?"

Kong Hao Ran said calmly: "It doesn't matter how many people come here, because only the capable will obtain the treasures."

Xiao Yao also didn't remain silent and said while striking her fists against each other: "If you have a problem, just step forward so we can solve it."

When Fu Xing Han heard her, he snorted angrily and refocused on the formation.

When Ling Tian saw her like this, he could only think in awe: "Senior Sister is truly fierce. Even a cultivator like Fu Xing Han backed down before her."

After the situation calmed down, Li Shang asked the old man who was studying the formation: "Master Ku, how much longer until you break the formation?"

Master Ku answered patiently: "Be patient. The person who placed the formation must be a formation master at the peak of Tier One."

Li Shang said: "But you can break it, can't you?"

Master Ku answered: "Of course, this isn't something difficult, so calm down. In the worst case, I'll break it within one day. In the best case, perhaps a few hours."

After Li Shang heard his words, he smiled and said calmly: "Then I'll leave you to focus."

Everyone heard Master Ku's words, so everyone began conserving their energy to be in the best condition when the formation opened.

After a few hours, Master Ku seemed to be in ecstasy and said joyfully: "It seems I'm lucky."

After saying that, he began directing Qi to merge with the formation like water poured on dry soil.

After a few minutes, Master Ku said while closing his hand: "Open."

With the end of his words, the formation evaporated into the air, and with it, everyone began gathering their Qi and rushed into the cave.
