Chapter 2929: Difficult
is on several restrictions set by Shao Hua Shan.Such a large area, completely sealing it with restrictions would be too costly. Shao Huashan only used a simple illusion array to conceal the ground sin...Who would have thought that Pei Gongfeng, after waiting for so long, wouldn't even have a shred of patience left and would create trouble here.
The Third Elder’s eyes were bloodshot, glaring at Pei Gongfeng as if he loathed him to the core. After speaking, he roared with anger, and within the gray mist behind him that manifested as eyeballs, his pupils suddenly widened.
The pupils almost occupied the entire eyeball, turning the eyeball black and emitting a strange glow. Wherever its gaze fell, tiny black spots suddenly appeared in the mist.
These dark tendrils were initially very small, expanding rapidly and wriggling through the void like countless maggots. These 'maggots' devoured the surrounding mist, swarming toward Pei Gongfeng in a black tide.
The Third Elder's plan was to take advantage of Pei Gongfeng's confrontation with the spirit being and directly attack its physical form.
Maggots swarmed everywhere. The Xuan Yang Wuji formation that Pei Feng had spoken of seemed unable to stop their advance. They effortlessly pierced through the thick fog and rushed before Pei Feng.
Pei Gongfeng's face flashed with surprise, not because of the abilities of these 'maggots', but because the three elders actually had the courage to attack him, a cultivator of the Refining Void stage.

It is possible that some family members can rise and fall together, but many will scatter when disaster strikes. Thanks to the prestige of the previous patriarch and Xin Shao's hard work, the Xin family has remained united, but this is contingent on not yet facing a major calamity.
If Elder Xin and Butler Luo were here, Uncle Pei wouldn't be so surprised. This Third Elder isn't even at the late stage of Nascent Soul, he can only be said to be brave.
Pei Gongfeng only glanced at the Third Elder with a dismissive look in his eyes, which made the Third Elder's face flush red and feel humiliated.
Facing the attack of the black maggots, Master Pei remained motionless. The mist around him trembled, layers of ripples spreading out and forming a wave of mist. The surging black maggots suddenly faltered. The front row was immediately blown away.
Their ability to devour mist failed at this moment. All the black maggots were easily washed away by the tide of fog, and with a burst of sound, they shattered into pieces, leaving behind clumps of scattered black qi. As soon as they were swept by the mist, they vanished without a trace.
The Third Elder couldn't help but be stunned, realizing the vast difference between himself and the cultivator of emptiness.

When the Third Elder made his move, Xin Shao tried to speak up, intending to explain something, but it was too late to stop him. The Third Elder's attack pushed the situation beyond any possibility of recovery.
Of course, even without the presence of the three elders, Pei Gong would have shown no mercy. Meiling was already engulfed by a sea of fiery rings.
The mist was dyed red by the firelight, countless fire rings danced in the air, leaving trails of crimson. The flames brought a terrifying heat, the three were like being in a magma chamber.
The Illusory Spirit shielded Young Master Xin and the three Elders, its body swelling to monstrous size, transforming into an immensely powerful black giant.
The giant stomped on the ocean, its head reaching for the heavens. It looked down upon Pei Gongfeng, appearing incredibly majestic. Its body continued to grow, as if it wanted to shatter the formation and tear apart this world with its sheer size!
'Boom!'
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
'Boom!'
As the Myriad Spirit grew, endless celestial Qi poured in, surpassing even mountains. The Myriad Spirit clenched its fists and roared to the heavens.
"Roar!"
The roar was like thunder, deafening, but it could not reach beyond the ranks.
With a slight movement of his body, Ming Ling swung his fist, aiming not at Pei Feng, but towards the great formation as the Three Elders had said. As long as he could break through the formation's blockade and transmit the fluctuations of the battle technique outwards, there might be a chance to summon reinforcements.
>
It's a pity that Lord Pei took the initiative and gained the upper hand. He had been prepared for this and would not allow Meng Ling to make a move. As Meng Ling's body swelled rapidly, he was surrounded by countless fire rings. Immediately afterward, all the fire rings crazily smashed towards Meng Ling.
Compared to the massive body of the Spirit, these fire rings were the size of bracelets, yet they contained terrifying power.
'Bang!'
'Bang bang bang bang...'
The fire rings rained down like bullets, so many that they were everywhere.
>
Xin Shaozhu originally intended to have Mingling endure the fire rings, using all his strength to break through the formation. However, the power of these fire rings exceeded expectations. When they struck Mingling, a fiery explosion would erupt, and soon the area around Mingling was engulfed in flames.
Under the onslaught of the fire ring, the Meddling Spirit's body swayed incessantly. Its upward momentum was abruptly halted, and it was forced to shrink its size, its aura greatly diminished.
Master Xin felt something was amiss and hurriedly commanded his Spirit of Light to dance with his left hand.
'Slap!'
Countless fire rings were shattered by the palm wind, but they were constantly replenished.
Both Young Master Xin and Elder San knew this was not a long-term solution. If they remained in such a stalemate, it would only benefit Offering Pei, while being highly detrimental to them. Moreover, Young Master Xin keenly observed that after the fire ring was shattered, it seemed to have not completely dissipated.
The limbs, neck, and waist of the Meddling Spirit had at some point acquired a faint red glow. As the fragmented fire ring grew larger, the red glow intensified, resembling shackles binding the Meddling Spirit. The spirit's movements now showed signs of hesitation.
Once the shackles are formed, the consequences are unimaginable. As Master Pei said, the Yuan Yang Wu Ji Formation can indeed restrain the Soul of Dreams!
Master Xin was astonished and ordered Ming Ling to attack hastily.
'Boom!'
>
The Mystic Spirit swung his right arm powerfully, unleashing a heavy punch that sent clouds and mist swirling, turning the heavens upside down. However, as expected, his attack was unable to break through the vast and boundless Abyssal Yang Formation.
Seeing this scene, Xin Shao-zhu could only change his hand seal. Ming Ling's body quickly shrank, becoming only two or three people tall.
After the body shrank, Meiling lost the air of looking down on the world, but it became more solid. Her whole body trembled suddenly, and a cloud of smoke rose from her. The shackles dimmed by a few points.
This eased the situation somewhat, but the crisis was not yet over.
Master Xin and Elder San darted into the Mystical Spirit's body. She sat cross-legged within its core, her expression quickly returning to calm; her heart was still as a well, her mind merging with the Mystical Spirit, inseparable.
At that moment, the spirit suddenly fell silent, slowly raising its head to face Pei Gongfeng.
Strangely enough, the Myriad Spirit's face was smooth as a mirror, lacking any facial features. The moment it faced Pei Gongfeng, its face rippled and undulated, gradually growing into distinct features.
At first, it was just a simple set of features, barely discernible as eyes, nose, and mouth. They were out of proportion, crooked, and utterly hideous. But the features quickly sharpened, and the appearance bore a striking resemblance to Lord Pei.
Staring intently at Pei Guofeng, the spirit's five features continued to shift and change, becoming increasingly similar. Ignoring the difference in size, if someone said it was Pei Guofeng's brother, no one would doubt it.

Pei Guofeng believed the surroundings were unsafe, so his main body concealed itself within its Dharma body. He discovered that his physical form was somewhat different, his expression solemn, knowing it must be another bizarre supernatural power of Ming Ling. But he remained unfazed, coldly smiled, swiftly formed a hand seal, and pressed his palm downwards.
'Bang!'
The fire ring stopped bombarding and exploded all at once.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The crimson fire sank, and the ground beneath the three of them transformed into a fiery abyss. Immediately, the flames coalesced, taking shape as nine colossal fireballs, resembling nine suns, except instead of hanging in the sky, they plunged into the inferno below.
On the ninth day, they appeared in a peculiar formation.
Immediately following that, a scorching and overwhelmingly powerful suction force erupted from the depths of the inferno.

Suddenly caught off guard, Ming Ling's body plummeted hundreds of feet. In an instant, she was stretched and deformed, facing imminent incineration in the fiery abyss.
Xin Shaozu hurriedly manipulated his psychic energy to counterattack. With a heavy stomp of his right foot, he unleashed a black glow that eventually transformed into a long sword.
The long blade slashed across the sky, unstoppable like a heavenly strike, aiming straight for the fiery abyss!
The long blade slashed out, its suction reduced, at the cost of Mei Ling's already clear features becoming distorted once more.
Master Xin wanted to make haste and continue with the secret art, but a strange thing happened. When the saber plunged into the Fire Abyss, the flames below suddenly dissipated, Jiu Ri vanished, and instead, there was a searing heat above his head.
The same suction force erupted, but this time it originated from above.
At an unknown time, heaven and earth reversed, with nine suns hanging high.
The spirit's form was unstable and was pulled upwards forcefully. He could only change his tactics on the fly, causing Young Master Xin's secret art to be interrupted once again.
Next, Jiu Ri constantly shifted positions. Pei Gongfeng appeared and disappeared like a ghost, as if this entire world was under his control. He could turn his palm into the heavens and his other palm into the earth!
Such a simple trick could shatter the secret art of Míng Líng. In this process, the shackles were quietly strengthening.
This is a dagger-sized golden sword, the hilt inlaid with gemstones of various colors, like fine works of art.
'Whoosh!'
As soon as Jin Jian appeared, an earth-shattering killing intent and terrifying speed erupted from him, transforming into a golden lightning bolt. The sword light flashed like electricity, resembling a golden dragon, fiercely tearing through the mist sea and directly targeting Pei Gong's heart.
If pierced by the golden sword, even a Nascent Soul cultivator's dharma body would shatter instantly. How much more so for Senior Pei, whose true form was concealed within his dharma body. This was the elder's pre-prepared killing move, one he had intended to unleash at a more opportune moment.

“Zhongliang!”
Through the fog came the roar of Pei Gongfeng, his voice laced with furious rage.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The visitor was none other than Zhong Liang, a wandering cultivator. After the death of the head of the Xin family, he had set his sights on the Xin family, and this person possessed the cultivation level of mid-stage Void Refinement, surpassing Pei Gong's strength by a bit.
>
Only by joining forces could the Xin family and Pei Shufei stand up to this person.
Zhong Liang, a wandering scholar, suddenly appeared, completely beyond Pei's expectations. Seeing that he was about to succeed, an unexpected obstacle arose. How could Pei not be angry
He and Zhongliang had been open and covert rivals for many years, and he knew this person's strength well. At this moment, he was incredibly grateful. When dealing with the Spirit of Insight, he had always devoted a significant amount of energy to guarding against that Qin elder.
Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for Elder Qin, they encountered the wandering scholar Zhong Liang.
As the golden sword shot forward, a flaming banner rose slowly from within his dharma body.
The fire banner unfurled, fluttering ominously.
The long banner unfurled, and in an instant, a vast and surging torrent of flames shot out. With a 'poof', the golden sword plunged into the raging flood.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The river of flames stretched behind Master Pei, the golden sword relentlessly pursuing. One could clearly see golden light flickering constantly inside the river of flames.
Zhongliang's surprise attack was indeed fierce, and Pei Feng's response was also quick. Even though the golden sword ultimately pierced through the river of flames, the fire banner provided Pei Feng with a chance to catch his breath.
"Haha..."
The laughter of Zhongliang, the wandering scholar, echoed into the ranks.
The Third Elder was overjoyed, but he didn't show it. He looked at Xin Shaozhu's side profile, his eyes flickering slightly.
'Boom!'
A gap was blasted open in the fog, and Zhongliang, the wandering swordsman, leaped into it. A nine-tiered pagoda hovered before him, the one that had shattered the great formation.
He knew that the golden sword could not kill Master Pei, so he took advantage of Master Pei's distraction and rushed straight toward Mingling.
"Little girl, now you know how cunning and treacherous Old Ghost Pei is, right Collaborating with him is like trying to skin a tiger. In the end, the Xin family didn't even have a scrap left!"
As they spoke, Zhongliang the hermit and the three elders exchanged a glance.
Elder Three hesitated a little. He had sided with Zhong Liang, the wandering scholar, but he hadn't betrayed the Xin family. In his view, with the Xin family's current strength, this approach was unsustainable in the long run. It would be better to choose a powerful individual to ally with.
He could be said to have watched Young Master Xin grow up with his own eyes. Even if he had the heart to usurp him, it would be difficult for him to do it himself. However, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate.
Just then, the three elders suddenly saw that Young Master Xin had lifted his head, and his expression was surprisingly calm.
For some reason, the Third Elder's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose.
"Zhongliang senior, Pei senior."
Xin Shaozhu's voice and expression remained calm, as if he was unaware of his current predicament.
"With your intellect, it was very difficult to gather you all here. After all, this junior has only one chance."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Zhong Liang's commoners and Pei's offering changed their expressions and looked at this small woman all at once.
If there were no Spirit Guardians, they could crush Young Master Xin with a single hand. Now that she's lost her essence and is weakened, the Spirit Guardian's power has been greatly diminished, but they feel something amiss, and it grows stronger by the moment.
>
"And I would also like to thank Elder Three for bringing Senior Zhong Liang here," Xin, the young master, turned his head and sincerely thanked Elder Three.
"Xin Sheng, you..."
The elder suddenly saw that Xin, the young master, seemed to crush something. His figure suddenly became illusory.
At this moment, the entire formation outside, countless island mountains, all trembled violently.

"Grab her!"
Zhongliang, the hermit, and Pei, the attendant, both roared in anger.
