As Feng Ming was feeling happy, a fight was going on in the main hall. It was nothing more than the problem of uneven distribution.
No matter what distribution plan was negotiated at the beginning, the other parties were like Shi Yan and grabbed it first after reaching the main hall.
Those who were slow to act were very unconvinced. The parties with formation masters believed that they had the greatest contribution and were also unconvinced. They should pick the good things first.
First, there was a verbal argument, but this wasn’t enough, so they started fighting.
Feng Linlang and Wu Yingyan were like little shrimps in such an environment. How could they rob and defeat those present?
Feng Linlang managed to grab a hairpin spiritual weapon, but as soon as she got it, an attack from the side arrived, and someone yelled at her to hand it over.
Wu Yingyan immediately protected her. Why should she hand over what she got?
Both of them were children of aristocratic families and both had a somewhat arrogant temper. They weren’t people who could suppress their anger.
Unfortunately, the other person was also from a wealthy family. If the elders of the two people were here, the other party would have to give them some face. Unfortunately, the ones here were just juniors. He wouldn’t be polite to them, so he went and snatched it away.
Wu Yingyan was defeated in one move and sent flying in the blink of an eye. Just as Feng Linlang was about to fall into the attacker’s hands, Young Master Nie came over.
“Uncle Shi, this is too much. They are people brought in by my Nie family. Is the Shi family trying to make things difficult for our Nie family?”
The other person’s family wasn’t much stronger than the Nie family, and there was no need to waste too much time here. He gave Young Master Nie some face, turned around, and walked away.
Feng Linlang was naturally grateful to Young Master Nie, who came to the rescue in time. Wu Yingyan, who was slapped to the ground, was now in a state of embarrassment compared to the elegant Young Master Nie.
It was just that Feng Hongrui wasn’t here, or he would have felt that the son of the Nie family and his sister were more compatible.
Wu Yingyan’s face turned green when he saw Feng Linlang smiling at Young Master Nie. Not only did his face turn green, but he felt that his head was also turning green. He was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames.
Then Young Master Nie smiled provocatively at him behind Feng Linlang’s back, and Wu Yingyan almost exploded in anger.
Wu Yingyan wanted to rush forward and fight with the man surnamed Nie, but his anger didn’t completely dissipate his sense of reason. He knew that his strength wasn’t as good as his opponent. If he really rushed forward and started a fight, he would be the only one who would be humiliated. Then he would be even more embarrassed.
At this time, he hated not only Young Master Nie but also Feng Linlang. He had done so many things for Feng Linlang, but Feng Linlang could barely give him a few smiles.
Then what about the one surnamed Nie? They had only known each other for a short time, but she was already greeting him with a smile.
In the beginning, he had spent a lot of time pursuing Feng Linlang. However, she never gave him a good look and turned around to fall in love with Bai Qiaomo, wanting to get married to him.
If it hadn’t been for his clever move, Feng Linlang would’ve become someone else’s wife now.
Now it was the case again. Feng Linlang stepped on his heart step by step.
Wu Yingyan’s heart turned dark.
The fighting in the main hall was naturally reflected in the formation. After receiving the information, Bai Qiaomo smiled in that direction and told Feng Ming, “There is a fight over there.”
“It is good to fight. Let them fight a little longer.”
“We are almost there too.”
Bai Qiaomo learned formations very well in his previous life. He did have talent in this area. Since his rebirth, he hadn’t given up studying formations while cultivating.
At Sihong Academy, he was assisted by his senior brother. He read many books on formations and conducted in-depth studies.
It could be said that he now had a deeper understanding of formations.
After studying it so far, he could judge that the core formation of this relic mansion was at the fifth-grade, but the surrounding formations were of different grades. Some were at the fourth-grade and some were at the third-grade. They hadn’t reached the point of complete integration and perfection.
It wasn’t difficult for Bai Qiaomo to reach the core of the formation once he understood this.
At the end of the Xuanyue Secret Realm, everyone highly praised Wu Hai’s formation skills and regarded Wu Hai as a formation genius, holding him up in a high position.
However, Bai Qiaomo would like to say that his formation level now was higher than when he played Wu Hai.
It wasn’t because he hadn’t entered the essence liquid realm when he played Wu Hai. Now he was in the mid-stage of the essence liquid realm. What he couldn’t do as Wu Hai, he could now do as Qiao Hai.
“Junior Brother Ming, come here.”
Bai Qiaomo called Feng Ming to his side. Then he took Feng Ming’s hand and moved him to turn left and right in the formation. After all, Feng Ming couldn’t see the tricks. If he went by himself, he would definitely get stuck in the formation.
After turning a few corners, Bai Qiaomo stood still again and said to Feng Ming, “We are now at the core formation of the relic mansion. The formation here is of the highest-grade, but I have already figured out the context of this formation. As long as Junior Brother MIng follows me, you can reach the center of the formation. This is also the control hub of the entire relic mansion.”
Feng Ming nodded excitedly. “Brother Bai, you just need to take me with you. You don’t need to tell me how to go or why. I won’t understand even if you talk about it.”
Bai Qiaomo was amused. He continued walking with Feng Ming while asking Feng Ming to follow his footsteps closely.
After walking for a few more minutes, Feng Ming’s vision finally became clear. He saw complex patterns drawn on the ground in front of him. At the center of where these patterns converged was a stone pillar less than 20 centimeters long.
Feng Ming didn’t dare to move randomly. He pointed at the stone pillar and asked, “That is the control hub, right?”
He was so smart. Look at the pattern drawn on the stone pillar. That pattern wasn’t the one they saw then they first entered the relic mansion. From this, it could be seen that this stone pillar was very important.
Bai Qiaomo nodded. “Yes, it is the control center of the mansion. Let me teach you how to refine this stone pillar.”
Feng Ming repeatedly waved his hands. “No no no, Brother Bai, you can refine it yourself. What is the point of me refining it? Can I skillfully control the formation of the entire mansion? I still need to rely on Brother Bai to trick the one surnamed Wu. Brother Bai, don’t say anything. Hurry up and refine it before those people outside take away all the good things in the relic mansion.”
Bai Qiaomo no longer refused. As Feng Ming said, he might not be able to command the formations in the mansion even if he controlled it. It took a while to digest and fully understand the formations inside.
There was another reason why he didn’t refuse. In any case, he wouldn’t be separated from Junior Brother Ming. It was the same if the legacy was with him or Junior Brother Ming, so it was up to him.
Bai Qiaomo’s soul power rushed into the stone pillar. After the original owner of the mansion died, the mansion became ownerless. Therefore, this stone pillar was very easy to refine without any hindrances.
In just a few minutes, Feng Ming realized that the entire formation seemed to be alive in the place where he was. It was no longer mechanically operating according to the program as before.
“Is it okay? Look at where they are and what they are doing.”
Bai Qiaomo smiled. “Okay, let me take a look.”
He didn’t just look at it himself. After exploring for a while, he found a water mirror at the core. What was shown in the water mirror was the scene of the people outside. Feng Ming immediately went over to take a look and screamed when he saw it.
Bai Qiaomo also looked and thought it was no wonder that Feng Ming wanted to scream. They happened to see Senior Shi beating three essence dan realm masters away. Feng Ming gave a thumbs up. “The old man is mighty and domineering!”
After beating the three people away, Senior Shi’s face was full of anger. “If you aren’t convinced, come at me together. See if I convince you first, or you kill me first.”
The other essence dan realm masters felt very uncomfortable, but the current situation wasn’t easy to resolve. If Shi Yan was offended and broke up with everyone regardless of the occasion, no one knew whether they would suffer or not.
This old man was a bast*rd when he was young, and he was ruthless.
Therefore, someone tried to smooth it over. “Captain Shi, if you have anything to say then please say it. This is their fault. They shouldn’t have done anything to Captain Shi’s people. Let’s all apologize to each other and continue to cooperate.”
This man apologized to Shi Yan with a smile on his face while quickly winking at the three essence dan realm masters. Did they really want to completely break up with Shi Yan at this time?
Were they sure they could kill Shi Yan here? If not, just compromise quickly.
The three people could only grit their teeth and apologize to Shi Yan’s group. Shi Yan didn’t smile but he didn’t take any further action.
The moment Shi Yan left with his two subordinates, the three men cursed and wanted to kill Shi Yan immediately.
Another person came forward. “Okay, just bear with him for now. If our formation master can find the core hub of the mansion and control it, we will be able to kill that man surnamed Shi. It isn’t a big deal to endure it for now. A bit of impatience can ruin big plans. You should also understand this reason.”
“Can we find the core hub? If we don’t find it, the relic mansion will disappear again in a while. I don’t know when it will appear next time.”
“We should be able to find it. We have several formation masters with us this time and Formation Master Cui is a fourth-grade one. It shouldn’t be difficult with him and the help of the others.”
“Okay. I will bear with it for a while. Once we get control, this old man will be handed over to the three of us. I will definitely torture him until he doesn’t know whether he is dead or alive.”
The sons of the noble families, who had always spoken well, were using foul language at this moment.
“Okay, just do as you said.”
Feng Ming wanted to curse when he saw these. These aristocratic families actually had such calculations. If the two of them hadn’t come in, would Senior Shi really been plotted by them?
Bai Qiaomo shook his head. “Not necessarily. I think Senior Shi might not be unaware of their plans. He is also at odds with them. How can he be unprepared? Otherwise, Senior Shi wouldn’t have been able to reach where he is today. These aren’t things that can be done by luck.”
Feng Ming thought about it. “You are right. There are many aristocratic families in these places, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to get ahead. Senior Shi really didn’t reach this point by luck. The old man must have a plan in his heart.”
“The old man might have an idea in his heart, but we still have to help him. “Quickly check what good things are in this mansion and think about how to lure him there without leaving a trace. This way, he can get the good things. By the way, let’s look at the situation of the person surnamed Wu.”
