Formation Master!
Gou Shiren was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Formation Master? Of course I've heard of it! Are you going to tell me you're a Formation Master?"
Zi Linling said calmly, "You're right, I am a Formation Master! So, do you still think your Gou family's large numbers are an advantage?"
Gou Shiren seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You say you're a Formation Master, so you are? Do you know that Formation Masters are even rarer than Alchemists? Do you know that the cultivation of Formation Masters is extremely difficult?"
"Without a hundred or eighty years, one can barely even get started with the cultivation of a Formation Master! How old are you, to dare to make such a bold claim?"
Zi Linling's lips curved into a cold smile, "Since you don't believe me, I'll have to prove it to you!"
Gou Shiren sneered, "Since you want to prove it, then we shall see!"
Zi Linling's eyes turned cold, "Then you better keep your eyes wide open!"
"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, activate the Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation!"
As Zi Linling finished speaking, the Four Symbols divine beasts emerged from the contract space.
Long'er said, "Azure Dragon takes its position, arrayed in the East!"
Xiao Hu said, "White Tiger takes its position, arrayed in the West!"
Huang Yi said, "Vermilion Bird takes its position, arrayed in the South!"
Xuanwu said, "Black Tortoise takes its position, arrayed in the North!"
Zi Linling nodded, and four formation disks were thrown to the southeast, northwest, and north directions respectively.
Long'er, Xiao Hu, Huang Yi, and Xuanwu opened their mouths and absorbed the formation disks into their bellies.
Instantly, the four walls of law, connected head to tail, sealed all three thousand members of the Gou family in the center.
Zi Linling's mind moved, and the power of law condensed beneath her feet. She walked step by step, blooming lotuses as she moved unhurriedly towards the center of the Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation.
Then, she sat down cross-legged, and five lines of law of different colors connected to the Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation in a peculiar manner.
The Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation was complete!
This time, not only Gou Shiren, but also the nine elders of the Gou family had to stop their actions and look at Zi Linling and the majestic Four Symbols divine beasts in the center of the great formation.
Zhuang Xing and the other ten Divine Kings were also stunned in place, but they quickly recovered and hurried towards Zi Linling.
Seeing this, Zi Linling quickly transmitted a message to stop them, "Don't come over, go and rendezvous with the Ninth Prince and the others!"
Zhuang Xing was stunned, quickly halted his steps, and led Li Bo and others, flying towards the direction of Xuanyuan Xun and the other three.
Due to the shock of the formation, the human wall blocking Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing also stopped their actions.
Thus, the four were also freed and reunited.
Zi Linling transmitted a message to the four of them together, "Take the ten Divine Kings of Zhuang Xing and immediately retreat a hundred feet. I will leave an exit for you. Hurry, you only have three breaths of time!"
After she finished speaking, she shared the location of the exit with the four of them through their souls.
Of course, only those who trusted each other absolutely would dare to do this.
The moment the four obtained the exit location, Zhuang Xing and the ten others had already rendezvoused with them.
"Follow me!"
Xuanyuan Xun shouted and quickly headed for the exit.
Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing followed closely behind.
Zhuang Xing and the ten others were stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
"Follow the Ninth Uncle, we three will cover the rear!"
Shen Liuxing explained as he pushed Zhuang Xing and the ten others out.
At this moment, Gou An, the eldest elder of the Gou family, had also reacted and shouted loudly, "Quick, chase them!"
The other elders of Gou heard the reminder and immediately charged towards Shen Liuxing and the others.
"You want to follow us out? No way!"
Shangguan Yulin said, and the Vermilion Bird Feather Fan in his hand instantly grew to be as tall as a person.
He gripped it with both hands and swung it forcefully twice, sending two Vermilion Bird phantoms rushing towards the Gou family members.
Rong Guang was not to be outdone, and the Poisonous Tree instantly became ten feet thick, blocking the exit.
Shen Liuxing's black long flute was already at his lips, and the melodious flute music suddenly sounded in the ears of the Gou family members.
At the same time, Zi Linling also gave instructions to the Four Symbols divine beasts, "Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation, lock the sky, lock the earth, entrap!"
Instantly, Long'er, Xiao Hu, Huang Yi, and Xuanwu each let out a roar, and the positions of the Four Symbols divine beasts immediately changed.
The Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation shone brightly, instantly trapping the Gou family members in place.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Xun and Zhuang Xing and the ten others had already successfully jumped out of the great formation.
Shangguan Yulin cast a knowing glance at Shen Liuxing and Rong Guang, then retracted his Vermilion Bird Feather Fan and jumped out of the great formation.
Rong Guang followed closely behind, bringing the Poisonous Tree out.
Shen Liuxing covered the rear; with two high-pitched notes, the Gou family members were momentarily stunned, and he took the opportunity to jump out as well.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing had led Zhuang Xing and the ten others out of the great formation, Zi Linling completely sealed the exit.
"Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation, spirit lock!"
As she finished speaking, Long'er, Xiao Hu, Huang Yi, and Xuanwu let out another roar, and their positions changed with thunderous speed.
Immediately, the spiritual energy and the power of law within the Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation were rapidly withdrawn and transmitted outside the great formation.
The Gou family members immediately panicked.
Having become accustomed to being surrounded by spiritual energy and the power of law, they suddenly felt discomfort.
This included the nine elders and ten Divine Kings of the Gou family.
Gou Shiren, the patriarch of the Gou family, finally snapped out of it, regretting it to death.
"You... pfft!"
He wanted to accuse Zi Linling of vicious tactics, but as soon as he uttered a word, he spat out a mouthful of blood from extreme anger.
Zi Linling's method of slapping his face was both ruthless and vicious; Gou Shiren felt like dying at that moment.
His previous arrogance and disdain vanished in an instant.
Seeing Gou Shiren vomit blood again, a look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Gou An, the eldest elder.
These father and son were truly of the same family.
One abandoned his father and fled, while the other only knew how to vomit blood. They truly couldn't shoulder the burden or take responsibility.
Gou An coughed twice, calmed his mind, and shouted loudly, "Ten Divine Kings, lead everyone to hold on for a moment. Gou family elders, at all costs, break free from the restraints and immediately return to the Gou family to replenish spirit stones and reactivate the clan protection formation!"
After speaking, he was the first to unleash his full power, attempting to break free from the great formation's restraints.
In Gou An's view, the Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation had trapped so many people, and its power must be dispersed.
Therefore, as long as one's strength was sufficient, they could break free.
However, Gou An underestimated the Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation and misjudged its binding power.
If he knew that even the ancient blood demon had become a captive of the Four Symbols Sky Locking Formation, he wouldn't know what to think.
The second elder Gou Tong, the third elder Gou He, the fourth elder Gou Qie, the fifth elder Gou Ke, the sixth elder Gou Bai, the seventh elder Gou Le, the eighth elder Gou Song, and the ninth elder Gou Huan all struggled upon hearing this.
