Chapter 42: Lure the Snake Out of its Hole, and It Will Fall

ueezing the fat man's fist. With a crunch, the fat man's fist was crushed."You're over your head, you're going to die!"The demon clan let out a low growl, and with the other hand, it grabbed fiercely...Back in his cultivation chamber, Yun Hao immediately got to work.

The Fire Spirit Array, in the upper ranks of Huangjie, is a formidable battle formation with top-tier offensive and killing power.

Yun Hao's mastery of formations was undoubtedly among the very best in the world, yet at this moment, he treated it with utmost seriousness.

A clever woman cannot cook without rice. This idiom is quite fitting for his current state. His mental energy... arranging a Huang Jie superior grade formation, it's a bit strained.

Holding his breath and focusing, Yun Hao waited for about half an hour before finally starting. He sorted through the materials for the formation that Fatty had gathered, placing them in neat piles before him.

Mental energy surged from the Ajna chakra, swiftly sketching out spirit runes and integrating each one into the array's material.

At that time.

These materials are the formation foundation.

As its name suggests, the foundation of an array, also known as the eye of the formation.

Each formation base is unique, and the spirit patterns it possesses naturally differ as well.

An array is about gathering these diverse spirit patterns, different powers, and condensing them into a unified whole!

Unconsciously.

It has been more than half a day.

Yun Hao had now completed the arrangement of all the formation bases.

It's true... it was really tough, I'm drained both mentally and physically. My head is spinning, and a wave of intense exhaustion has taken over my whole body.

Yun Hao bit his tongue, keeping his mind clear. He put all the formations into his storage ring and immediately began to circulate the Taichu Creation Scripture.

This ancient practice of cultivating the physical body and excavating the human body's treasures, as it operates, not only refines the flesh but also cultivates the soul.

After all, the soul is also part of the body.

Until nightfall.

Yún Hào only then finally walked out of his residence.

Vigorous and refreshed, with no trace of fatigue.

"Young Master, the innkeeper has called you for dinner," a servant, following Yun Tian Kuo's order, came to call Yun Hao over.

Dining Hall.

Yun Tiankuo and Ling Feiyu are both here.

"Have a seat."

Yuntai Kuo saw Yun Hao approaching and invited him to sit down. Then he said, "I've already looked into this Kumu Dao person, but unfortunately, I found nothing. His origins are unknown. The city lord saw that he was powerful, so he invited him to the City Lord's Mansion as a guest."

Ling Feiyu hesitated for a moment, then said, “Yun Uncle, I plan to get in touch with this Ku Mu Dao Ren.”

"No!" Yun Tiankuo immediately shook his head and said, "Before we figure out his background, we absolutely cannot act rashly. Feiyu, I know you're anxious and want to find out the truth behind the Ling family massacre as soon as possible, but we must be careful and cautious, leaving no room for error!"

Yun Hao also nodded and said, "Don't worry, let's eat first."

Ling Feiyu was in a bad mood. She only ate two bites before going back to her room to rest.

Yunt Tiankuo and Yun Hao, father and son, didn't have much to say to each other. They each ate their meals in silence, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken tension.

The joy of the Crazy Sword Martial Arts Hall, that they had driven away Yun Hai Sheng and his group, vanished into thin air with the arrival of this old hermit.

That night, Yunhao did not rest.

While cultivating, he sensed the surroundings of Ling Feiyu's residence to guard against another intrusion by the withered wood Daoist.

The next day.

Yun Tiankuo has urgent business to attend to and has to go out for a while.

Yun Hao was responsible for accompanying Ling Feiyu.

Yun Tiankuo had just left for not long.

Then some martial arts disciples came looking for him.

“Fei Yu, sister, something terrible has happened. The people from Baquan Martial Arts Hall went to our Kuangjian Martial Arts Hall's iron mine in the suburbs and started a fight. They've already injured several of our people...”

Yun Tiankuo is gone, Ling Feiyu is now the only Sea-Melting Realm expert in the Flying Mad Sword Hall. When there's something to be done, it naturally falls to Ling Feiyu to handle it. That's how it's always been.

The suburban iron mine is one of the few profitable industries for the Kuangjian Martial Arts Hall, and it's very important to the hall.

The Baquan Martial Arts Hall and the Kuangjian Martial Arts Hall often have friction, and fighting is a common occurrence.

Ling Feiyu immediately released the worries in her heart upon hearing this and said, "Understood, I'll go out of the city right away."

After saying that, Ling Feiyu immediately planned to set off and go to the iron mine to check the situation.

"I'll go with you!"

Yun Hao immediately followed.

His intuition told him that these matters were not as simple as they seemed.

That's too coincidental.

His dad just went out because something happened.

After that, people from the Baquan Martial Arts Hall started causing trouble in the suburbs.

It's clearly meant to lure Feiyu out of the city!

Yun Hao immediately thought of Ku Mu Dao Ren. It seems this old fox couldn't help himself and was about to make a move again.

Just as Yun Hao was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to deal with Ku Mu Dao Ren, the opportunity has arrived!

If it were the old Yun Hao, Ling Feiyu wouldn't have let him go along with this kind of thing.

Now Yun Hao's strength is quite good.

As for the younger generation in Liúyún City, he is considered quite outstanding. This time, it can also be an opportunity for Yún Hào to learn how to handle affairs at Kuáng Jiàn Wǔ Guǎn.

………

City Lord's Mansion.

Liu Yun City's commander, Xiao Feiye, rushed to find Ku Mu Daoist.

"Kumu Dao Ren, I just made up an excuse to get Yun Tian Kuo away from the Kuang Jian Martial Hall, and then I had people from the Ba Quan Martial Hall stir up trouble at one of Kuang Jian's properties."

Now, Ling Feiyu has already left the city with Yun Hao!

Kumu Dao instructed him to watch Ling Feiyu's whereabouts, and to report back to him immediately once she left the city.

Xiao Feiye, eager to complete Qu Mu Dao Ren's entrustment as soon as possible, was very proactive. He used some tricks and managed to get the matter done.

"Are you sure it's just Yun Hao and Ling Feiyu"

Xiao Fei nodded: "Indeed, it's just the two of them."

Kumu Dao suddenly beamed with joy: "General Xiao, you did a splendid job on this matter. Consider this one favor owed to you. Once I'm done with my current tasks, I won't let you down!"

Xiao Fei laughed and bowed, saying: "I'm just following the city lord's orders to do my best to meet Ku Mu Dao Ren's needs. If Ku Mu Dao Ren wants to leave the city now, I can mobilize a group of elite soldiers for Ku Mu Dao Ren's disposal."

Kumu Dao shook his head: "It's alright, I can go myself."

In his view, Yun Hao and Ling Feiyu were nothing to him. He could suppress them with one hand. Taking them along would only slow down his journey; there was no need for it at all.

That's all.

Ku Mu Dao Ren eagerly left the City Lord's Mansion.

………

The Iron Mine of Kuang Jian Martial Arts Hall.

When Ling Feiyu and Yun Hao arrived, the people who had come to cause trouble at Baquan Martial Arts Hall were already gone.

Several miners were injured.

After Ling Feiyu calmed down the miners' emotions, she thought that since they had come anyway, so she took Yun Hao,

> Enter the mine.

Go check some safety measures.

No sooner had the two entered the mine than

Then a gust of wind swept into the mine.

At almost the same time, Yun Hao had already sensed the aura of Daoist Kumu.

This old fox, he's here as expected!

Then, take this opportunity to kill him!

This is the time.

Yun Hao and Ling Feiyu came to a fork in the road inside a mine shaft.

Yunhao: "Feiyu, you go in and have a look. I suddenly feel unwell, so I won't go in. I'll wait for you here."

Ling Feiyu asked with concern, "What's wrong Shall I accompany you out now"

Yunhao shook his head. "It's nothing major, just go take a look inside."

"Miners often ignore safety issues in order to earn more money. Last year, several lives were lost because of this."

Ling Fei nodded. "Okay, you wait here for me. I'll check it again and be right back."

Then, Ling Feiyue continued to go deep into the mine shaft for inspection.

Yun Hao stopped in his tracks, looking at the pitch-black mine shaft. His eyes flashed with cold light. With a thought, the pre-prepared formation base flew out of his storage ring one by one and landed in different locations within the mine shaft.

Now.

Just wait for that withered wood Taoist, he'll be caught in the net himself!n destroyed, so everything is not a big problem.The monsters of the Burial Demon Mountains, led by Yingyang, had already withdrawn from the imperial city last night.Apart from leaving a contingent of...
