Chapter 232: Preparation

After spending most of the day shopping with Xiao Huan, even though Lin Xing had profound cultivation, he was exhausted. He quickly sent Xiao Huan into the imperial palace, leaving the empress and the empresses to take care of her. Then, Lin Xing smartly slipped away.

"Brother Lin Xing, can we go shopping again tomorrow?" The cute image of Xiao Huan blinking her eyes still lingered in Lin Xing's mind. Lin Xing could only smile bitterly. Zhou Yixian, you've really left me with a big problem!

As the sky gradually darkened, the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky red. They were swirling and dancing, presenting a magnificent scene. As Lin Xing walked, the sense of unease in his heart grew stronger.

What on earth was going on?

He extended his spiritual power to that valley. The range of the spatial fluctuation was wider, and he was almost able to detect the connected location. Lin Xing could feel that there was an aura coming from the other side of the space.

But the feeling was still not obvious. For now, Lin Xing could only judge that someone was about to come out from this space!

Who could it be?

Recalling the situations in the world of Zhu Xian in his mind, Lin Xing couldn't think of such a plot.

How about making some preparations first?

As soon as he had this thought, Lin Xing immediately put it into action. Although he didn't know who was up to no good, Lin Xing vaguely felt that it wasn't a good person! And the capital city was his territory now, and he wouldn't allow outsiders to cause trouble!

Those who used this kind of transmission method sneakily wouldn't be greeted with a kind face!

Lin Xing took a step forward and once again arrived at the valley. The fog that lingered all year round and a strange energy made Lin Xing feel very comfortable when he was in it.

Streams of laws crisscrossed. Lin Xing stretched out his hand, and the Mysterious Fire Talisman leaped out with a whoosh.

He hadn't used it for a long time!

The Mysterious Fire Talisman was the key to setting up the Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation. Although this formation was comparable to the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, Lin Xing didn't think much of it now. However, having it was better than not having it. Lin Xing couldn't keep watch here all the time, so he had to make some preparations.

"Mysterious Fire Talisman, rise!"

Lin Xing's hands danced rapidly, and a dazzling light rose from the Mysterious Fire Talisman. A burning-hot aura like fire emanated from it, and the surrounding fog quickly evaporated — but that strange energy similar to the power of faith remained unmoved.

Everything was connected. The Mysterious Fire Talisman was the core of the Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation. With Lin Xing's power of connection that had entered the realm of law to investigate, and coupled with his understanding of fire that was vaguely touching the edge of the law, it wasn't difficult to deduce the original Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation!

A pure aura of fire rose from Lin Xing. Streams of mysterious trajectories were traced out from the tips of Lin Xing's fingers. For some reason, even though it was the first time he was drawing the Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation, Lin Xing had a sense of familiarity, as if he was very familiar with it.

"Could it be that Linglong practiced the Heavenly Book!" Lin Xing was suddenly shocked. Seeing through the appearance to the truth, Lin Xing could sense that this Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation had a great connection with the Heavenly Book!

The great formation was set up in an instant. The laws around Lin Xing surged, and the principle of change was incorporated into it. This Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation was a combination of the real and the illusory, hiding countless mysteries, and was even more powerful than the original one.

"Again!"

Lin Xing added his powerful artistic conception of fire to the formation. Now, the Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation was several times stronger than the Zhu Xian Sword Formation!

A law of connection spread around the space, serving as the trigger for the entire great formation.

Once someone emerged from it, the formation would be activated immediately!

"Um, this should be about right," Lin Xing said to himself.

A sudden voice startled Lin Xing so much that his whole body trembled: "Um, it's about right!"

Lin Xing suddenly turned around and saw that it was actually Su Lingfeng!

Damn it, she actually managed to avoid his detection!! So powerful!

"Feng'er, have you recovered?" Lin Xing sized up Su Lingfeng. He felt that this woman's strength was almost on a par with his! The research of Old Man Su and Mo Ya had finally made her succeed first. She was really lucky!

Su Lingfeng nodded with a smile and said, "Not only have I successfully fused my soul, but I've also reached a higher level!"

"That's great! In that case, I have more confidence. These days, I've always felt that something is going to happen," Lin Xing said.

Su Lingfeng looked at Lin Xing in confusion. Lin Xing asked, "What, you didn't feel it?"

"I cultivate my soul, so my perception ability is strong, but I'm not as good as you at prediction," Su Lingfeng said. "However, I can make this formation even more powerful!"

After saying that, Su Lingfeng waved her hands, and streams of auras were added to the formation. The entire great formation acquired a lively aura, as if it had come to life.

"Good! Feng'er is so amazing! These little brats actually dare to come to the capital city. They're simply asking for death! Um, I'll set up a few more small traps to make them suffer!"

Lin Xing continued to set up formations on the Eight Fiends Mysterious Fire Formation. One insidious formation after another emerged. Even the shrewd Su Lingfeng couldn't help but swallow hard, not caring about her image.

"Junior brother, is this a bit too..."

"No! Feng'er, how can you be so merciful? When dealing with enemies, we can't be soft-hearted. We have to eliminate them completely!" Lin Xing said righteously.

"I mean, junior brother, your methods are too... cunning..."

Lin Xing blushed and thought to himself, Is this called cunning? I haven't even used the "Assault Formation" that I developed with the principle of change...

"Being cunning towards enemies is called being smart!"

Su Lingfeng pursed her lips and smiled: "You always have a point!"

"Of course!" Lin Xing said narcissistically. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and pointed at the air, saying, "Feng'er, do you know what this strange energy is? It's a bit similar to the power of faith, but it's different."

Su Lingfeng felt it for a while and said uncertainly, "It might be the power of fate."

"The power of fate?" Lin Xing asked in surprise. "Is there really such a thing as the power of fate in this world?"

"Yeah! Grandpa once mentioned it by chance. It seems that there was a peerless evil demon suppressed in the Shenglong Cave. The power of fate is the purest and most brilliant power in the world, and it has the greatest restraint on evil things. However, this is just a legend, and I'm not sure if it's true or not."

Lin Xing fell silent again.

There seemed to be something hidden in the Shenglong Cave. It was the same when he came here before. The Fulong Cauldron seemed a bit restless, and the gourd in which Zhou Yixian sealed the soul of the Asura also had a murderous aura leaking out.

The history of the Shenglong Cave was millions of years long. That period of time should be the ancient era.

The Heavenly Emperor, the Asura.

Could it be that what was in the Shenglong Cave was?

Lin Xing really couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart! He said to Su Lingfeng, "Feng'er, I want to go in and take a look!"
