"Hmm, I believe Uncle Chen will be alright! Let’s speed up." He Xiran wiped away her tears and exerted herself to quicken her pace.

Apart from Woncai and Brother Eagle, He Xiran actually had the weakest Realm on site.

Yet she did not fall behind, consistently maintaining her full speed charge.

She even proactively suggested accelerating.

Truth be told, both Chen Yang and Ao Min were quite surprised.

Woncai and Brother Eagle could be fast because of their natural advantage, but He Xiran’s explosive speed was truly a burst of potential.

"This girl is extraordinary, she has potential." Ao Min remarked watching He Xiran dash forward.

"Let’s speed up too." Chen Yang agreed with Ao Min but didn’t say much more.

"Alright."

The three exerted their forces together, pursuing at full speed along the combat trail left by Blood Bat Hall.

The chase lasted another fifteen minutes.

As they chased further, the combat marks became increasingly brutal.

They even passed several places where Woncai found a few corpses.

Without exception, they were members of the Alliance.

The appearance of the corpses was beyond recognition because the moisture in their bodies had evaporated instantly, leaving them as dried corpses.

The reason they determined these were Alliance members was due to their manner of death, a typical killing method of the Blood Bat Hall.

Turning humans into dried corpses.

"Uncle, you must not have anything happen!"

Seeing the deaths of Alliance members, He Xiran became worried once more.

Her speed unconsciously quickened again.

After hurrying for about three more minutes, they finally heard movement ahead!

"We’ve caught up!"

Little Black in the sky spoke.

Since it was flying up high, it had a better vantage point.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang sped up once more, diving into the forest within two or three seconds, and then saw, in the originally dense forest center, at least four or five acres of land were flattened by combat.

The terrain in the center region was in shambles, resembling a construction site dug by an excavator.

The battle winds had felled an unusually large number of trees.

In the center area, stood several severely injured men, battered and bruised but still upright!

And surrounding them from all sides were members of Blood Bat Hall, clad in night suits.

These people wrapped themselves tightly, leaving only their blood-red eyes exposed.

They had formed a net of heaven and earth, making the men in the center sitting ducks, with no possibility of escape except for a death battle.

Judging from some of the corpses lying on the ground, a very intense battle had just erupted.

Several Alliance members died, but more Blood Bat Hall members perished, with seven or eight bodies on the ground.

Perhaps seeing Alliance members fighting fiercely, the Blood Bat Hall refrained from further attacks, instead surrounding the Alliance crowd within a circle.

"Uncle!!"

He Xiran, arriving at the edge, immediately spotted Chen Tianmin standing firm among the crowd! Seeing Chen Tianmin still alive and relatively unharmed, He Xiran voiced her excitement.

She intended to rush out to help but was stopped by Chen Yang.

"Xiran, don’t be impulsive!" Chen Yang said.

"Chen Yang, Uncle is surrounded, we have to rescue him!" He Xiran was very agitated.

Chen Yang’s heart was equally stirred but he restrained himself.

His intentions were far from just rescuing Chen Tianmin and the others! He wanted all Blood Bat Hall members dead here!

On the scene, initial estimates indicated Blood Bat Hall members numbered at least one hundred and fifty, rushing out like this would certainly mean no eradication, he had to devise a strategy!

This was why he wasn’t eager to rescue them immediately.

"Xiran, don’t be excited! I will rescue Uncle, but the blood of the Alliance cannot flow in vain! I want all these chasing Blood Bat Hall members dead here!" Chen Yang tightly grasped He Xiran’s shoulder and growled!

Chen Yang’s eyes brimmed with murderous intent, allowing He Xiran to calm slightly, although she was also awestruck for a moment.

"Little Brother, that’s over a hundred people, although their Realms aren’t very high, leaving all of them here is still quite challenging." Ao Min was shocked by Chen Yang’s plan.

Over a hundred at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

If all were to be slain here, the cultivation world will certainly be greatly shaken.

"With just the three of us, it is indeed challenging, but I have a way!" Chen Yang coolly said.

"Little Brother, whatever methods you have, just say it, I will fully cooperate." Ao Min immediately responded.

Little Black was also overflowing with battle spirit.

Its nature was inherently so; just slightly restrained after being contracted by Chen Yang.

Finally getting a chance to rampage thoroughly, it certainly wouldn’t miss it.

"Master, command me, and I shall obey!" Little Black replied.

"I don’t need you to do much, just wait here quietly, unless the situation inside is extraordinarily urgent, don’t rush out and alarm the enemy." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"But if someone’s life is in danger, you must rush out to save them immediately, no more deaths, understood?"

Chen Yang calmly instructed.

Both Ao Min and Little Black were somewhat puzzled by Chen Yang’s command.

Why such delay?

Despite their confusion, they did not inquire further, instead they nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you stay alert, I’ll be right back."

After giving instructions, Chen Yang entrusted He Xiran to them, asking them to look after her, and then vanished from the spot instantly.

Chen Yang didn’t go far, landing on a nearby large rock.

This rock location was perfect, not only hidden but also provided a full view of the entire scene.

Once there, Chen Yang sat cross-legged immediately, took out a storage pouch, retrieving two pieces of Parchment and some Formation materials.

If the three were to charge in brazenly, Blood Bat Hall members would certainly panic and disperse, making total eradication difficult.

But if an advance control using Formation were set around, the situation would change entirely!

The chances of keeping them all here would increase significantly!

That’s why he hadn’t rushed to save Chen Tianmin and the others, but first set the Formation!

Taking out the Formation, Chen Yang immediately familiarized himself with it.

In fact, Chen Yang had already studied these two formation spells, having a clear idea on how to set them.

Yet, for absolute certainty, he reviewed them again, ensuring no issues before proceeding to set the Formation!

The Formation he needed to set now was called the Prison Dragon Formation! It’s designed specifically to entrap people.

After setting this Formation, it could lock an area quickly, forming an invisible barrier.

Until the Formation vanished, no one could escape.

Unless someone with an exceedingly high Realm forcibly smashed the Formation with sheer force, nobody could get out.

This Formation was perfectly suited for the current situation.

Chen Yang formed the hand seals, and cast four formation cores, infusing them with Spiritual Power!

The four formation cores silently fell into designated positions, enveloping the entire forest.

Having arranged the cores, Chen Yang immediately took out a talisman brush, dipping it in Spiritual Energy for ink, linking the Formation!

The Prison Dragon Formation, the setup is very subtle, though already familiar several times, activating the Formation thoroughly still requires time.
