Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 558: Breaking the Formation

Yang Qian naturally couldn't just build a stone pillar in his backyard and call it a day. Instead, he had to do the same in major places in Shuangqing Mansion to form a complex structure.

The last time Yang Qian saw the term "array confrontation" was when he was reading "Ten Yuan Strange Stories". It was mentioned briefly in it, saying that this was a common method used by "array cultivators" and also a tacit understanding in fighting each other.

Yang Qian thought this was quite appropriate.

The one on the other side was the Skyfire Formation, who wanted to turn Shuangqing Mansion into a furnace and kill all the creatures inside. So he would take the corresponding route.

The Sky Formation relies on the original geographical features of Shuangqing Prefecture to prevent the invasion of heavenly fire.

Compared to the other side who wanted to change the landform to an extreme, Yang Qian's side was much simpler. After all, the landform of Shuangqing Mansion was still there, and all he had to do was consolidate it. As long as the landform was consolidated, the Skyfire Array that was invading from outside would have no choice but to stare blankly, and would no longer have the same impact on Shuangqing Mansion as it did today.

So for a total of three days, Yang Qian worked non-stop and traveled to all the cities in Shuangqing Prefecture. In the central courtyard of the government office in each city, he erected a stone pillar of the same shape, on which was the magic circle he engraved.

Each of these stone pillars will be activated immediately after it is erected, and they will form a connection with the previously activated stone pillars to form a complex formation.

It is like a root system that gradually forms a network and is firmly rooted in the ground, making it difficult for external erosion to affect it.

On the fourth day, the abnormally high temperature in Shuangqing Prefecture began to drop rapidly, even in the mountains that were not covered by the magic array. The Skyfire Array that had invaded was forcibly squeezed out by Yang Qian's consolidation array.

In fact, Yang Qian had the best of both worlds in this contest.

If the two sides have similar formation skills, Yang Qian's side will not lose, which is equivalent to waiting for the opponent to tire out. Even the consumption is not that great, as the earth element has its own strength to use in the formation. The opponent does not have this convenience, so he must have spent a lot of effort.

On the fifth day, the monks from the Zhenshan Camp in Sanhua Town sent back news that the stone tablets that were still burning hot a few days ago had all calmed down. Each one was like burnt stones. Not only did they no longer have the terrifying high temperature they had before, they also directly shattered into slag on the ground.

This means that Yang Qian won in this bloodless battle.

While the people in Shuangqing Prefecture were happily discussing the strange weather of the past few days after dinner, they did not know that they were only one step away from being put into the furnace and burned to ashes.

When Yang Qian returned home and happily finished his meal with his mother and wife, the storage bag in his arms shook and a talisman inside moved.

When he took it out and looked at it, Yang Qian's mouth curled up slightly. He felt even better. He even asked the servants to add another dish and a pot of wine.

The news was sent by Xu Xiushan from Wu Lei Palace, and it was good news.

First of all, what Xu Hai planned before his death was a great success. Not only did he kill the disciples of Heyun, Tongyun and Mingyang Sects directly with lightning, but also their three elders in the fusion realm could not escape. In addition, with the destructive rules in the strange lightning and the thunder, he died cleanly.

Even the two fusion-level elders sent by Piaomiao Peak to help did not survive. However, these two were much tougher than the fusion-level semi-immortals from Heyun, Tongyun, and Mingyang sects. They withstood the last thunderbolt and tried to run, but were captured alive by Zheng Jing who rushed over!
That’s right, he was captured alive!

It seems that the reason why I couldn't help laughing at the dinner table was because of this. Semi-immortals either escape or die, and being captured alive is extremely rare. And this is definitely a great shame for a great sect like Piaomiao Peak!
Having two people captured alive at the same time, he became a huge burden in the offensive war. Now that he was holding Piaomiao Peak, he was in a dilemma and could no longer give orders to Wulei Palace as he did before.

Yang Qian could guess that with two half-immortals as captives, the Five Thunder Palace would have some room for maneuver.

What? You don't want to save your elders?

Want to save? If you want to save, don't go too far. Find a chance to sit down and talk?
Yang Qian couldn't help but admire the Wu Lei Palace's brilliant move! Was this perhaps Xu Hai's plan? Or was it Zheng Jing's sudden idea?

Anyway, no matter what, now the Five Thunder Palace has not only untied the knot on its body, but also directly pulled Piao Miao Peak over to block it in front of it. No matter how the discussion with Piao Miao Peak goes later, as long as Piao Miao Peak blocks it in front, other Wanshi Great Sects will not interfere.

If we think further, by saving the lives of the two elders of Piao Miao Peak, as long as they are not imprisoned excessively later, it would be equivalent to "leaving a way out", and it would be easier to talk to Piao Miao Peak.

Moreover, Xu Hai's original plan was to bring out the Wanshi Sect to support the "reform", otherwise the size of the Wu Lei Palace alone would not be able to escape the fate of being slaughtered.

Since we are going to find the Wanshi Sect to support us in the end, why can't it be Piaomiao Peak?

After dinner, Yang Qian accompanied Fang Yuan and Xu Ying for a walk in the backyard. When the night got colder, he sent Fang Yuan back to the house. After she fell asleep, Yang Qian took out a jade disc from his arms and prepared to look through it in the house. He would not go to the secret room to practice tonight. It was good to stay with his wife.

Some of his mind was focused outside, and the rest was immersed in the jade disc.

After such a long time of searching, even if the Sword Sect's inheritance was rich enough, Yang Qian still had to go through it bit by bit. Especially with the experience panel to help him with the initial screening, the speed was even faster.

Now Yang Qian has found three categories for the second screening.

Sword techniques, martial arts techniques, and auxiliary training methods.

The sword technique is the most common in the Sword Sect. After all, whether you are a martial artist or not, you can practice swordsmanship. And swordsmanship is the two best skills of the Sword Sect.

Whenever a disciple of the past generations came up with a sword technique on a whim, as long as it was carefully carved, it could be included in the inheritance jade disc. According to the custom of the sword sect, this is all "reference", and no matter the grade of the sword technique, it has the value of reference. Preserving it is the foundation, and it is also the handrail for later generations to climb to higher heights.

Yang Qian still remembered what Huang Jitian’s martial soul said before it disappeared. He hoped that he would continue to study and make up for the shortcomings of the fifth style of "No Sword" and create the sixth sword.

How to create? Yang Qian's method was engraved on the experience panel long ago. "Eat the book" and then use the experience panel to "create it yourself". So Yang Qian needs these swordsmanship very much. But at the same time, it is also very picky. The grade is one aspect, but more importantly, it must be related to the sword intention and the four rules of gravity, time, and space.

Yang Qian did not consider the ordinary display of magical power or simply increasing the lethality of swordsmanship.

The auxiliary training methods were relatively easy to find. The difficulty lay in the martial arts training methods, which Yang Qian still couldn't make up his mind about.
