Chapter 448
Both were cousins from the same generation, and both were from a minor branch of the family . Fortunately, due to their immense potential, they cultivated the Hundred-Spirit Qi at an astounding speed . By this point, Zhang Mu, at the age of 84, and Zhang Chenshan, at the age of 90, had both achieved the highest level for Spiritual cultivators called "Supreme" . Naturally, they held great power within the Zhang Family .
The two of them were so tired of their mundane mortal lives they volunteered to guard the family's most important place—Zhao Ling Mystical Land .
Though the name "Zhao Ling Mystical Land" was quite fancy, in truth, it was only a mid-sized basin . Within it there were rivers, mountains, trees and flowers, as well as the specially trained Scorching Sun Eagles that acted as scouts .
Aside from that, the Zhang Family permanently deployed 15 to 20 family members to guard the place, and rotated them on a four-month-cycle basis . Aside from the two powerful guardians, the rest would be switched out every once in a while .
"You are right, I can't break this… Can't break this…" The black-browed elder Zhang Chenshan wearily shook his head, and gave up trying to solve the problem .
"But even if I can't solve this, my grandson might . Zhang Zhao, get over here now!" he abruptly shouted at the end . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting .
On a grassy river bank not far away from the two, a handsome youth who was leisurely sleeping under the sun was so startled by the sudden shout his whole body trembled before nearly jumping off of the ground .
"Not again…" As the leader of the Zhang Family's younger generation, his talent and savviness were both top-notch . This was even more so when it came to his affinity for Spiritual Formations, which was unmatched even in the entire family .
"Say, aren't you two old men just bored? Am I your grandson or your slave… I want to play outside too…" Zhang Zhao said wearily . He stood up from the grass, slowly walked across the wooden bridge, and arrived in front of the two elderly men . With only a few glances at the Spirit Formation schematic on the stone table, he grabbed a pencil, and casually drew a few strokes on it .
"Alright, that's solved . "
"You can solve it like this?!"
"Such an innovative solution?? Impressive! Impressive! As to be expected from the grandson of I, Zhang Chenshan! Ahahahahaha!!"
The two old men instantly started to fuss over the solution .
Zhang Zhao, who had a weary expression on his face, was about to go back to his nap .
Suddenly, he was startled by something .
"Someone's here? Not one of our family members . "
"Oh? Could it be some other men of the Jianghu trying to find treasure here?" Zhang Mu's attention quickly shifted .
"Didn't we spread the rumor already? How come there are still people that dare come here? Is it because we didn't set an example good enough?" Zhang Chenshan said slowly while stroking his chin .
"Don't worry . Grandpa, Elder Mu, I'll teach him a lesson . Wait… no, he's holding our family members hostage!" Zhang Zhao suddenly detected something odd from the formation .
"Interesting . He dares kidnap members of our Zhang Family and even provoke us in our hidden grounds . Ring Touching Spirit Ground, activate!" Zhang Zhao's hand rapidly formed a series of 10 seals .
In combination with the Spirit Words from his mouth, the entire Zhao Ling Mystical Land was covered by an invisible force, which started to tremble slightly at first before rapidly changing .

Staring at the basin covered in white mist, Lu Sheng felt a sliver of anticipation .
The two people he held in his hand, Zhang Hong and Bie Feihe, both threw up on the ground next to him . The horrifying speed had shaken them to their core .
Even though she was throwing up, Lu Sheng's image in Bie Feihe's eyes had transformed from that of an ordinary master of the Jianghu to one that could dominate it .
The powerful movement technique he'd just unleashed might not be able to accelerate someone to such an insane speed so easily unless used by a peak-level master .
Zhang Hong, on the other hand, though astonished by the fact that Lu Sheng's physical body could go so fast, was not as astonished as by his previous display of his powerful Spiritual Power .
This kind of speed was not unheard of in the Zhang Family . It was just that Lu Sheng's method was more crude and primitive .
"Is this the place?" Lu Sheng asked in a mild voice .
"Yes . There is a great formation that is active all-year-round . Even members of our family have to send out a spirit disk, and would only be allowed to enter after the formation master confirms their identity .
"Don't even try to trick me into breaking in for you," Zhang Hong said coldly .
"No problem . I want to see what purpose this Spirit Formation serves anyway . " Lu Sheng smiled as he strode into the heavy mist .
Bie Feihe wanted to follow, but was too slow . As soon as she stood in front of the white mist, something in her heart forced her to stop .
"Wise of you to stay out . This great illusion formation is not something an ordinary man could deal with . Usually those who enter can only starve to death . " Zhang Hong laughed coldly .
"You mean this is a formation? One of the formations that immortals use according to all the fantasy novels?" Bie Feihe felt like her worldview was suffering a great trauma .
This was the first time she saw what a so-called formation actually looked like .
They were clearly on Black Cotton Mountain behind Yin Mountain, yet all she could see in front of her was thick, white mist .
These giant swaths of mist were somehow all man-made . For the first time, Bie Feihe felt like maybe getting beat up was a good thing .
As the two of them were having thoughts of their own, Lu Sheng had slowly walked into the white mist .
As soon as he entered the mist, he stomped hard onto the ground . With a booming noise, the ground split open, while he flew straight up from the immense force .
"Hiss!"
Streaks of white, bone-chillingly cold spikes came out of the white mist, aiming directly at the back of Lu Sheng's waist .
"Clang, clang!"
