Using the invisible and intangible properties of a soul, Zhang Xuan was able to carry the storage ring out through the cracks of the door discreetly by lying close to the ground .
As soon as he floated out, he immediately saw many Otherworldly Demons guarding the area, maintaining an airtight defense in the surroundings . No matter which direction he left in, there was a good chance that he would be discovered .
Zhang Xuan assessed his surroundings, vexed . It seems like these Otherworldly Demons are veterans of the battlefield .
Only those who had frequented the battlefield and collaborated with one another on multiple occasions could form such a tight defense .
On top of that, there were also defensive formations . It was no joke to say that not even a fly could hope to get in . It was no wonder the two Kings had allowed him to have some private time with the master teachers so easily . In the very first place, they had absolute trust that both him and the master teachers couldn't possibly get away .
Eye of Insight! Driving his Soul Depth, green lines began surfacing in Zhang Xuan's composed eyes .
Taking a look, Zhang Xuan smiled in relief . While the defense is so tight that no cultivator could hope to get in or out without alerting the Otherworldly Demons, it seems like the defenses were aimed toward corporeal beings . In my soul form, I should still be able to get out with relative ease as long as I am careful .
Special means had to be utilized to guard against souls, but it was apparent that such measures hadn't been set up in the area . After all, considering how long it had been since the soul oracles had gone missing, it would have been a waste of time and resources to do so .
But if I just leave like that, will they think that I am too soft and weak?
The fact that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had constructed a base in the Subterranean Gallery only went to show that they had malicious intentions in mind . Wouldn't it be unseemly for him, the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, to leave just like that after discovering the enemy's base?
I took a careful look when I arrived, and it seems like this base is constructed in alignment to the Seven Profound Spiritual Light Formation . As long as I destroy the center of the formation, I can undo the formation . Even if they manage to avert the backlash from the formation running amok, it will still make their hard work over all this time meaningless! Zhang Xuan thought as his lips crept up .
While he wasn't skilled in building things, he was definitely the master of demolition!
Even the Ten Great Master Teachers hadn't been able to stop him back when he was still in the Master Teacher Academy! Collapsing these buildings was truly just a walk in the park for him .
I should head over to take a look!
Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings and confirmed the direction in which the center of the formation lay before heading over .
…
Shortly after Zhang Xuan left, the Goldenleaf King suddenly frowned .
Noticing his companion's expression, the Greenleaf King asked, "Brother Yin, what is wrong?"
The Goldenleaf King pondered for a moment before responding uncertainly, "I am not too sure, but for a moment, I thought I felt like something passed by me . "
He had an innate sensitivity toward his surroundings, allowing him to perceive the happenings around him vividly . For just a brief moment, he felt like something had passed right before his eyes, but when he attempted to take a closer look, he was unable to see anything at all .
Of course, if he had swept the area with his Spiritual Perception, Zhang Xuan's soul would have been in plain view to him .
However, maintaining one's Spiritual Perception around one's surrounding was extremely taxing on one's spirit . Even as a Saint realm 4-dan expert, it was impossible for him to maintain it for an extended period of time .
It was precisely due to this opening that Zhang Xuan had been able to escape from the notice of the two Kings .
It didn't take long before Zhang Xuan slipped out of the encirclement . Heaving a sigh of relief, he picked up the pace and continued to proceed ahead with his storage ring beside him .
Soon, a majestic palace came into sight .
There were considerable differences in the formations used by Otherworldly Demons and humans . Nevertheless, through his Eye of Insight and the Library of Heaven's Path, these differences did little to impede Zhang Xuan . From the moment he arrived at the base, he had known that this palace was where the center of the formation was located .
He carefully entered descended to the ground .
In order to set up an airtight defense against him, nearly all of the Otherworldly Demons had been mobilized to guard the hall where he was supposed to be . As such, there was only a handful of Otherworldly Demons left to guard this important facility, thus allowing him to break in easily .
These Otherworldly Demons hadn't reached Spiritual Perception realm yet, and they didn't specialize in the study of souls either . Furthermore, through the Eye of Insight, the flaws in their defenses were as clear as day to Zhang Xuan, so he was able to sneak in without alerting anyone .
The palace was vast, taking up an area of more than ten thousand square meters . The walls and the pillars within were inscribed with kinds of bizarre inscriptions, reminiscent of ancient runes . At the very center was a huge alter, which was roughly eight meters long .
Realizing that he was unable to recognize the inscriptions after taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan asked Vicious telepathically, "What kind of inscriptions are these?"
Vicious took a glance at it and replied, "These are runic inscriptions unique to the Otherworldly Demons . If inscribed in a specific manner, it has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, similar to the Spirit Gathering Formation of the humans . "
"Spirit Gathering Formation?"
"Un . They are similar to some extent, but there are some differences between the two as well . A normal Spirit Gathering Formation only has the effect of gathering spiritual energy in a set area, but this runic formation has the effect of transforming the property of the spiritual energy to enhance the physical strength of Otherworldly Demons as well . It is somewhat similar to the formation that was inscribed in my underground chamber!" Vicious replied .
"Enhance the physical strength of Otherworldly Demons? Does that mean that it can be used to recharge the Otherworldly Demon puppets?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up .
Back in the underground chamber, he had seen how Vicious recharged the energy of the puppets . After taking control of those puppets, he had used them several times, and the energy within them was already almost completely depleted . This was the reason he hadn't used them for such a long time .
If he could recharge the energy of those Otherworldly Demon puppets, he would have another card to use against the Otherworldly Demons gathered in the area .
"Under normal circumstances, it would be hard for outsiders to tap into the energy accumulated within the formation due to the restrictions inscribed into it . However, that isn't a problem for me . I can help recharge the puppets for you now if you'd like," said Vicious .
"That's good . " With a relieved smile, Zhang Xuan drew out the twenty Otherworldly Demon puppets along with his body from the storage ring and returned to his body . After which, raising his arm ahead of him, a finger flew out from his palm and flew into the air, emanating a dense killing intent abruptly .
Feeling this immense energy, the puppets immediately kneeled down in deference .
