Chapter 1431 How to Lead Everyone to Their Death

Several days later, at the lakeside villa.

A fragmented primordial spirit flashed in through the doorway, looked around, and then bowed to the courtyard gate, saying:

"Senior Qin, this is the place! I personally saw that person enter that building!"

Before the words were finished, three figures stepped in. The one in the lead, dressed in a light blue robe, stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze swept across the lake, pausing briefly on Yue Zimu's head on the shore, before he looked at the tall tower with a cold smile.

"Are you sure he hasn't come out these past few days?"

"Naturally certain!"

With a flick of his broken primordial spirit at the courtyard gate, a small rune appeared beside the gate:

"In order to prevent the villains from escaping, I left a restriction before leaving. As long as someone passes by, this restriction will break on its own and notify me. I checked it when I came in, and the restriction is intact, which means that no one has entered or left this place."

Qin Yu glanced at the rune, nodded slightly in agreement, and then walked towards the lakeshore, saying:

"Fellow Daoists, please come in. The villain who killed Fellow Daoist Yue without cause is right here. We will definitely capture him and avenge Fellow Daoist Yue."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of energy erupted from outside the door, and one after another, cultivators filed in through the courtyard gate. In a short while, nearly a hundred cultivators appeared one after another.

Each of them exuded a murderous aura, their eyes hinting at a fierce intent. They were all at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and their expressions revealed a restrained arrogance, clearly indicating that they were all extremely confident in their own strength.

However, even among experts, there are differences between them.

Although none of these people were willing to submit to the others, they all looked wary when they saw the three powerful figures on the lake shore, and dared not get too close, clearly showing their fear of these three.

"The formation within this lake is incredibly complex. Even with my old eyes, I find it exquisitely ingenious, with no clue how to break it. It must undoubtedly be a celestial formation."

Moreover, this mist harbors a deadly intent; it must originate from some extremely dangerous killing formation. With our cultivation levels, touching it would mean certain death.

Qin Yu stared intently at the stone path and asked the primordial spirit beside him:

"Young friend, did you personally witness that person walk across the stone path and enter the tall tower in the lake? Did you see clearly how he got in?"

"Did they use some kind of secret technique, or did they force their way in wielding a magical artifact?"

The tattered primordial spirit, which was currently floating an inch off the ground, quickly shook its head upon hearing this:

"Please forgive me, senior. When I arrived here, he was already walking on the stone path. Then he used a killing move to seriously injure me and forced me back, so I was unable to get any closer. Therefore, I do not know exactly how he got in."

"However, I remember that there seemed to be golden light around him, but I did not see any magic weapon."

"Golden light appeared?" Qin Yu frowned: "This is troublesome. This person may possess a secret technique related to the immortal array, which is why he was able to enter the immortal array without being harmed. If someone else were to force their way in, they would only be killed by the immortal array, with no chance of survival."

Upon hearing this, the other two people beside him asked in deep voices, "What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist Qin? Do you mean that even with your mastery of formations, you have no way to deal with this lake formation?"

"If even Fellow Daoist Qin is helpless, then are we just supposed to watch that person refine the immortal treasures here?"

The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices, so everyone in the courtyard heard what they said. The crowd's expressions changed slightly, and they began to stir.

Seeing this, Qin Yu slowly scanned his surroundings. Wherever his gaze fell, everyone fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

After a quick scan, the courtyard fell silent once more.

Only then did he snort and say, "Hmph, everyone, don't forget what kind of place this is. It's a celestial array from the Immortal Realm. How could we mortals break it? Not to mention me, even if the Ye family patriarch were here, he would be helpless against this array."

He paused for a moment, then added reassuringly, "However, please be patient. Now that we've come this far, we won't let you leave empty-handed."

He stretched out his right hand, and a platinum compass slowly appeared in his palm, upon which countless tiny runes spun and flew:

"Don't forget, everyone. There is only one exit here, the courtyard gate. Even if that person refines the immortal treasures inside the tower, he will be trapped here and unable to escape."

At that time, he will have no choice but to hand over the magical treasure; otherwise, he will surely die if we surround and kill him.

"We only need to set up a large formation here and wait for that person to walk right into our trap."

As a former late-stage Void Refinement expert and a high-ranking array master, Qin Yu was confident that he could annihilate his opponent with a wave of his hand and claim the immortal treasures he had obtained as his own.

Even knowing that the person possessed a celestial treasure and had killed Yue Zimu and his group, demonstrating extraordinary strength, he still had this confidence.

This wasn't blind confidence on his part, but rather the confidence that his identity as a formation master gave him!

As everyone knows, given enough time to set up a powerful high-level array, a formation master can even kill a cultivator who is a whole realm higher than him within the array.

And Qin Yu just happens to have this ability.

Although his current cultivation level is limited to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his knowledge of formations is not subject to many restrictions.

With the laws of formations at his disposal and plenty of time, he could set up three high-level formations capable of killing cultivators at the Void Refinement stage!

Faced with these high-level formations, let alone the fact that the opponent was only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, even if that person joined forces with the others in the courtyard, they could only die miserably in his formation.

Next, it was his turn to perform; everyone else was just there to support him.

Hearing his confident words, everyone nodded repeatedly, showing an expression of "I knew it," and then began to flatter him.

"It turns out that Senior Qin had already made plans. We were just overthinking it."

"Senior Qin was once a renowned high-level array master, and he even received the true teachings of Venerable Tianliu. With Senior Qin personally taking action, this man is certain to die today!"

"Absolutely! This man is vicious and ruthless. He killed Fellow Daoist Yue and the others without cause. His crimes are heinous. We beg Senior Qin to set up an array and kill that villain here to avenge Fellow Daoist Yue and the others!"

The crowd cheered, and Qin Yu declined slightly before taking the opportunity to arrange for everyone to cooperate in setting up the formation.

With his natal compass in hand, he naturally didn't need anyone's help. But the situation was different now. With the celestial treasure in front of him, his first priority was to snatch it from that person.

But after seizing the immortal treasure, what he had to consider was how to protect it from his fellow cultivators.

Therefore, some things must be arranged in advance.

Qin Yu's gaze darkened, and his inner energy surged forth. The compass in his hand immediately began to spin rapidly, bringing with it countless array laws that transformed into platinum runes that fell to various parts of the courtyard.

In an instant, the aura of the laws of array formation spread out, various spiritual lights flashed, and high-level arrays appeared out of thin air.

Within each grand formation, phantom images of spirit beasts and magical artifacts condensed and leaped into the air, scattering barriers of various colors that enveloped the entire courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of great formations appeared one after another, each carrying an aura no weaker than a ninth-order formation in the lower realm.

Furthermore, there are many large arrays with different attributes that are interconnected, forming a higher-level spirit realm array that faintly exudes a terrifying aura that surpasses even the Nascent Soul stage.

However, as soon as those auras appeared, they were forcibly suppressed by an inexplicable force, and could only be maintained at the limit of the Nascent Soul stage, unable to advance any further.

Even so, those formations were still incredibly powerful, causing everyone present to be secretly alarmed.

Even the other two experts who were standing next to Qin Yu became wary and subconsciously moved further away from him.

Nobody's a fool. If it were only aimed at the cultivators inside the tower, why would such a powerful formation be needed?

This formation is more than enough to deal with even a mid-stage Nascent Soul sword cultivator, let alone all of them.
