This was a secret technique of the Purple Wind Sect, "Phantom Escape". It allowed one to use extremely fast speed to create illusions that were exactly the same as one's real body. It was difficult to guard against attacks from different directions, or it could even escape.
The originally calm array formation was instantly filled with lightning. Bolts of thunder and lightning flashed on the surface of the array, but the thick lightning bolts were unable to illuminate the interior of the array.
Hou Fengyu's facial expression changed, but in the end, he still decided to help out. But right at this moment, two gigantic palms made of origin energy rose from the formation first, and then the two palms clashed in midair with a loud bang, causing invisible ripples to spread out in all directions. Even the flashing lightning on the barrier disappeared in an instant.
Hou Fengyu was able to recognize that one of the Yuan Qi palms was the "Phantom Palm" of the Violet Wind Sect's inheritance. This Spirit Art and "Phantom Escape" were both inherited from the same precious technique.
This Phantom Palm could instantly transform into countless palm shadows to attack the enemy, and every palm shadow carried a certain amount of power, making it extremely difficult to capture. At the same time, it could gather all the palm shadows together, and at the same time, it would stack the power of each palm shadow together, pushing the power of this ability to the limit.
Previously, Senior Martial Brother Yu had obviously used the latter method in an attempt to condense his full strength and defeat his opponent in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, he had underestimated his opponent's methods.
"Senior brother Yu, you …"
Hou Fengyu looked in shock at Senior Brother Yu as he asked in disbelief.
The Senior Martial Brother Yu before him looked extremely pathetic. His clothes were tattered and his body was covered in scorched black holes. Smoke was still rising from his body, and from time to time, there would even be crackling sounds of electricity flashing.
Senior brother Yu reached his hand out and pinched a lightning bolt, causing it to explode in his hand. Then, he let out a sigh and said, "Don't worry, I just met the palm from the person in the formation. Although this person's technique was slightly weaker than mine, his palm strike was powerful and extremely powerful.
Hou Fengyu's spirit shook as he said, "Then I'll join hands with senior brother. Let's break through the formation again!"
Senior brother Yu glanced at him, then shook his head, "I've sparred with master array masters in the sect before, and the feeling this formation gives me is not inferior to the spirit array that master array masters had. And just now, when I exchanged blows with others, it was also because I didn't go deep into the formation that I was able to retreat in time.
"Senior, you mean to say that this person is able to use formations to block our alliance?"
Senior brother Yu shot him a glance and said, "What I'm saying is that if that brat truly falls into the hands of the people in the formation, that person can be threatened like this, and not willing to fight with me."
Seeing the unwillingness on Hou Fengyu's face, senior brother Yu said in a deep voice, "We are here to look for someone, not to destroy this formation. In a situation where we are not sure if that kid is in the hands of others, we cannot make too many enemies.
As he spoke up to here, a trace of doubt appeared on Senior Brother Yu's face. Hou Fengyu observed his expression and asked, "Senior Brother, is there something amiss?"
Senior brother Yu shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just feel that this formation is a bit familiar and seems to be similar to the inheritance of our sect's formations. It's a pity that neither of us know the formation, otherwise we might be able to see the source of this formation."
Before this, when she fought with Yu Yu, she had actually used the power of the formation to suppress Yu Shi Xiong, who was one level above her cultivation level.
If she could completely unleash the power of the formation, Jiahui really wanted to know if she could defend herself against the combined attacks of two cultivators of the Astral Reaching Realm. Even someone like her who had been paying attention to his cultivation couldn't help but feel a tinge of fighting spirit.
Unexpectedly, after the person who charged into the formation had retreated, he said something to the other person. In the end, the cultivator that came first seemed to forget about the formation and the two of them actually left without looking back.
What kind of situation was this? Monk Jiayi's raging fighting spirit was extinguished by a basin of cold water. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could it be that these two were going to ask for help? If that was the case, he really wouldn't be able to defend himself.
However, what Jia Hui did not know was that the reason why the two of them retreated was because he did not use the cultivators he captured previously to threaten them. Instead, the two of them believed that the person they were looking for was not here.
Yang Junshan had been practicing the Everlasting Frost Spirit Eye for two whole days. His qi was dropping steadily, but it was rising and falling faster and faster. Even though Jiahui didn't practice this kind of secret technique, she didn't know if it was good or bad.
When the third day arrived, the first thing that came into Jia Hui's mind was that the surroundings seemed to have become much warmer. This made him a lot more interested, but he quickly discovered the reason.
When Jiahui found Yang Junshan's stone bottle made of thousand-year-old ice stone, she discovered that the ice silkworm was actually spitting silk inside. A sparkling and translucent silk thread was gradually woven around its body into a transparent cocoon.
After this ice silkworm was caught by Yang Junshan, he searched everywhere on the ice plains for the nests of savage beasts and desolate beasts. Yang Junshan certainly got a lot of heaven and earth treasures from this, and the ice silkworm also absorbed a lot of ice energy from all kinds of ice holes. This time, it also absorbed all of the ice spirit energy contained in this piece of ice, and the ice silkworm finally crossed a threshold and began to form a cocoon.
According to legends, the ice silkworm would spin silk and form a cocoon every fifty years, but this continuous absorption of ice elemental energy accelerated its growth.
It was said that the thousand-year Ice Silkworm could at most spit out a single Ice Silkworm that was five hundred feet long, but in reality, most of the time, it would be unable to do so due to the lack of Essence. To be able to spit out a hundred feet long Ice Silkworm was already considered good.
Yang Junshan had five balls of ice silk, the longest was no more than 300 feet, and the last two were only 100 feet. Obviously, before they met Yang Junshan, this ice silkworm had not grown that well.
When the Shi Clan cultivators reached the Grand Scholar realm, they wished for the kasaya to protect them. Moreover, many of the sacred arts and techniques passed down by the Shi Clan were also related to kasaya. As the successor of the Shi Clan, Jia Hui naturally wished for a kasaya of her own.
In fact, before Jiahui became a Grand Scholar, she had already started to prepare for her kasaya. Now, with the promise of Yang Junshan's thousand-year Ice Worm Silk, not only would his kasaya be completed, but its quality would also improve as a result.
However, Jiahui's good mood didn't last for long. A cold light broke through the void and cut straight through the Five Elements Lightning Spiritual Array. The sword light swam like a fish and was able to escape the array before Jiahui could react.
This person's cultivation was no weaker than the Purple Wind Sect's cultivator who had charged into the formation earlier!
Jia Hui made her decision immediately. She raised her head to look outside the formation, only to see three streaks of light flying out from behind the ice mountain, landing outside the formation.
Qi Min and the other two looked at the formation in front of them with a slightly serious expression. The three of them were true heirs of the Snow Wind Sword Sect, and their knowledge and experience were not inferior to the two cultivators from the Purple Wind Sect.
"It should be here. I have long heard that Yang Junshan is proficient in array formations, and this array formation has the circulation of the five elements, and the array formation also has the nurturing of lightning. It is exactly the same as the array formation that Yang Junshan built in the family encampment. It must be Yang Junshan's work!"
Junior Brother Zhao said loudly, "What are we waiting for? Since this guy has set up the formation here, he must have found some ice cubes. Maybe he is cultivating the Frost Spirit Eye. We should take this opportunity to kill his way in, lest he escapes again."
Junior Brother Qiao became more cautious and said, "Previously, Brother Qi had also seen the formation's probing. This formation did not seem to be operating on its own, but rather someone was controlling it. If that Yang Junshan is really cultivating in the frost spiritual eye, then that means there should be one of his companions in the formation."
Junior Martial Brother Zhao was startled and said, "This kid is quite lucky."
Junior brother Qiao didn't know if he was saying that Yang Junshan was lucky to be able to find Guang Hanshui, or that someone was protecting him and helping him to cultivate a secret technique.
Qi Min said coldly, "Now that we have found it, there's no reason for us to retreat. Whether or not someone is taking charge of this array, we will fight. At least the array will show that one person inside cannot escape because of practicing this secret technique. It's like what Brother Zhao said, this is a great opportunity!"
Just as Junior Brother Qiao was about to say something, Qi Min had already led the charge with his sword. Multicolored lights immediately rose into the sky, followed by thunderous sounds. The surrounding ice mountains began to collapse from the loud noise, forming a large area of landslides.
Without saying a word, Junior Brother Zhao followed behind Qi Min into the array. Seeing this, Junior Brother Qiao helplessly waved the fan in his hand and floated into the Five Elements Lightning Spiritual Array like a light feather.
At the same time, the numerous savage beasts and desolate beasts gathered outside the glacier seemed to have received some sort of order. They howled in unison and charged into the glacier like tidewaters.
