Thousand Poisons Qian sneered with a teasing smile, "What do I want? You really have a poor memory. I'm looking for that disciple I haven't met, Mi Xiaojing, right? Where is he?"
Yong Ji knew he couldn't hide it any longer. In such a vast place, Xiaojing wasn't trying to hide; a simple search would surely find him.
With a long sigh, Yong Ji pointed to the solitary wooden hut by the lake and said, "He's in seclusion."
"Seclusion? Haha, interesting. Even a little brat at the Foundation Establishment stage needs to seclude himself?"
Thousand Poisons Qian waved his hand dismissively, sending Yong Ji flying aside, then chuckled as he walked towards the wooden hut.
The area around the hut was off-limits; everyone in the manor knew Xiaojing was in seclusion and wouldn't come here without cause, making it relatively quiet.
Even for a Cultivator at the Great Perfection stage of Foundation Establishment, Thousand Poisons Qian was an easy catch, so he approached without any guard up and kicked the hut's wall. With a thunderous crash, the wall shattered, and he burst into laughter, "Haha—damn it!"
In an instant, the Qingmu Formation activated, ensnaring Thousand Poisons Qian within.
Yong Ji felt as if all his bones were shattered, wracked with excruciating pain. True Word Spirit Scripts had sealed his cultivation level; he was now little different from an ordinary person. Struggling to sit up, he watched as mist materialized out of thin air, swiftly enveloping the wooden hut.

"Ah, it's over."
The moment the Qingmu Formation activated, Xiaojing snapped awake. Without a second thought, he cast Magical Techniques and Incantations, powering up the formation fully. He had to take the initiative, even though he didn't yet know who had breached the formation.
It wasn't until Xiaojing took his place at the formation's control point that he saw the person inside.
Thousand Poisons Qian!
Xiaojing was shocked. This guy had actually found this place? Facing Thousand Poisons Qian, he had no confidence at all. The Qingmu Formation was powerful against Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but against an Elemental Infant master, he had no assurance.
If an Elemental Infant Cultivator were controlling the formation, perhaps they could handle Thousand Poisons Qian. But as a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the gap was too vast. How could he possibly fight?
As he rapidly cast Magical Techniques and Incantations, commanding the formation to attack, Xiaojing's Divine Sense plunged into his Dan Tian, and he urgently called out, "Old man, disaster is upon us!"
Wang Weijun sat atop the Heart Tower, unperturbed, and said, "What's the panic? The battle has just begun. No matter win or lose, stay calm. You're flustered now, and with your inferior strength, you're even less capable. Settle down and take him on!"
Xiaojing instantly calmed down. Regardless, he trusted Wang Weijun deeply. Withdrawing his Divine Sense, he desperately searched for a sliver of hope.
Seeing Xiaojing's Divine Sense retreat, Wang Weijun collapsed, muttering, "Damn, it's over. How did we get into trouble with such a guy? What bad luck!"
Despite his reassuring words, it was just to buoy Xiaojing's spirits; he was far from calm himself.
Xiaojing, green as he was, took Wang Weijun's bait and mustered his courage. He mobilized all his strength to resist Thousand Poisons Qian.
Thousand Poisons Qian hadn't expected to fall into a formation. Such formations were always formidable, but he wasn't too concerned, confident that his formidable strength could withstand even the strongest formation.
A golden lotus suddenly appeared beneath Thousand Poisons Qian' feet, followed by a large red robe with True Words shimmering on it.
His robe had been destroyed during the attack on the Heart Sect, and this was a spare. Though not as high-quality as the one lost, he believed its protection was sufficient to withstand the Qingmu Formation's assault.
Xiaojing knew that ordinary methods were useless against Thousand Poisons Qian. He had witnessed this man's ferocity at the Heart Sect, where he had almost killed Mu Hengyuan. So, he had used his strongest measures right from the start.
Countless massive Qingmu trees appeared, rubbing against each other, sparking tiny flames. Suddenly, the trees ignited, and with Xiaojing's Magical Techniques and Incantations, the flaming Qingmu trees slammed forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Qingmu trees, dense as rain, continuously bombarded the area. Thousand Poisons Qian let out a strange cry and released his Prayer Beads. In an instant, countless beads surged forth.
In a flash, the entire Qingmu Formation began to tremble.
Originally crafted by an Elemental Infant Cultivator, the Qingmu Formation was somewhat effective against Elemental Infant adversaries. However, Thousand Poisons Qian was too formidable, and even the strongest attack was blocked.
Thousand Poisons Qian was taken aback and somewhat infuriated. He hadn't even seen his opponent, yet he was bombarded by countless Qingmu trees. Although he managed to cope, it was a bit embarrassing.
The red robe suddenly transformed into a barrier, forcefully blocking the Qingmu trees' impact. Then he began to chant True Words.
Another lotus appeared, a black one this time. With the empowerment of his True Words, the black lotus rapidly withered, followed by a black lotus pod bearing four red seeds.
Thousand Poisons Qian flicked his fingers, and with each flick, a lotus seed flew out. After four flicks, the four seeds hovered in the air. The pod turned into black smoke, completely absorbed by the seeds.
The four bright red seeds swelled to the size of watermelons, their surfaces etched with Spirit Scripts and True Words.
Just one glance was enough to send chills down Xiaojing's spine; he knew the power of these seeds was formidable. Thousand Poisons Qian hadn't even unleashed them, and Xiaojing had already made his judgment.
But Xiaojing dared not retract the Qingmu Formation, only able to brace himself. With the formation as a barrier, he at least didn't have to face Thousand Poisons Qian directly. He didn't think he stood a chance in a head-to-head battle.
Spirit Stones were consumed like flowing water, but Xiaojing couldn't afford to fret over the loss, continuously driving the formation to unleash its maximum power.
Thousand Poisons Qian grinned, waving his hand while chanting True Words.
Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast!
Four characters, four True Words, followed by a series of violent explosions.
The four lotus seeds flew towards the four cardinal directions, activated by Thousand Poisons Qian' True Words. In an instant, a massive explosion swept the Qingmu trees from the sky.
At this point, Thousand Poisons Qian could have left, and Xiaojing wouldn't have been able to stop him, but he didn't. With his strength, fleeing would be too unseemly, and he truly had the power to break the formation.
Xiaojing was drenched in sweat, astonished at Thousand Poisons Qian' monstrous power. Previously, activating the Qingmu Formation meant no one inside could escape, but Thousand Poisons Qian was an entirely different case. He moved effortlessly within the formation, striking it until it was in disarray.
Suddenly, countless golden rays shot out from Thousand Poisons Qian' golden lotus, covering heaven and earth, all directions. With just one strike, the entire formation collapsed.
