Chapter 15: The Formation of the Little Five Elements

Outside Peach Blossom Valley, a group of disciples in green robes walked side by side, their steps quick yet extremely cautious.

The Great Elder at the forefront occasionally transmitted his voice to explain the experience of hunting to the crowd behind him, particularly to the five disciples of the "Shi" generation.

On this campaign, there were a total of five elders and Lin Houyuan, the Family Head, all of them Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators.

Apart from them, there were also ten disciples of the "Hou" generation—half were from the hunting team, the other half were the heads recruited from the Lin Family's various market shops.

Their cultivation levels ranged from Qi Cultivation Fifth Level to Eighth Level. There were four at the Eighth Level: Lin Houyong—the eldest of the Hou faction, Lin Houshou—the second, Lin Houyu—the fifth, and Lin Houwen—the ninth.

Next were three individuals at Qi Cultivation Seventh Level, including Lin Houwei.

Then, there were two more disciples of the Hou faction at the Sixth Level.

Below them were the five disciples of the Shi generation.

"Grandfather, we're nearly there!" Lin Shiming exclaimed as he caught a glimpse of the entrance to Peach Blossom Valley beyond a mushroom-shaped hill, addressing Lin Yuqing.

"Grandfather, that Red-haired Demon Monkey is truly formidable. Please be fully prepared," Lin Shiming said again.

"Rest assured, your grandfather isn't senile yet. I won't be negligent!" Lin Yuqing nodded and then spoke to everyone else.

"Alright, proceed as planned!"

All of them accelerated their pace. Being close to the boundary of Qingyun Mountain Range, they needed to finish the battle quickly to avoid attracting more Demonic Beasts.

Upon reaching the valley entrance, all Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators, excluding the Great Elder, formed a semicircular perimeter around the entrance.

Array flags continuously flew from the hands of the elders into the ground, transforming into streams of light.

Then countless Spirit Stones were also thrown from their Storage Bags, embedding themselves in the earth.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Spirit Stones were laid down, an extravagance that made Lin Shiming gasp.

At the same time, his mind eased significantly; with such preparations, even if the Red-haired Demon Monkey had extraordinary abilities, it faced certain death!

Furthermore, Lin Houshou, a Second Rank Intermediate Grade Array Master, also took out array flags and chose a side position to start deploying them one by one.

The other cultivators took out their own Magic Artifacts and Defense Talismans, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the troop of yellow-furred Demonic Monkeys at any moment.

Another incense stick's time passed, and a clan member emerged from the concealment of the woods—the scout that the family had freshly arranged.

"It's confirmed, there are no other hidden dangers!"

Upon seeing this, the Third Elder Lin Yushui leisurely took out a flute. After receiving a nod from Lin Yuqing,

she began to play a slow tune.

"Kid, that's the Third Elder's Chaotic Beast Flute!" Lin Shiming observed with a puzzled look.

Lin Houwei casually took a swig from his wine jug by his side.

The odd thing was, there was no wine in the jug—naturally, he couldn't drink at such a time.

But just by pretending to take a pull from the empty jug, Lin Houwei seemed completely refreshed.

His whole body suddenly released an aura, an intimidating Spiritual Pressure burst forth.

In the distance, as the flute's melody drifted!

Shrill and frenzied monkey cries surged like a tide.

Then, at the valley entrance, one yellow-furred Demonic Monkey after another appeared, wielding huge pieces of wood.

They had fearsome expressions, their eyes filled with madness and bloodlust, they shrieked and swarmed forward!

And behind the twenty or so yellow-furred Demonic Monkeys, the Red-haired Demon Monkey was even more ferocious.

Wielding a giant black club, it charged at the Third Elder Lin Yushui as soon as it appeared.

In a single bound, it leaped tens of meters, outstripping all the yellow-furred Demonic Monkeys, and with a terrifyingly powerful swing,

it aimed to kill Lin Yushui and smash that detestable and grating flute in one blow!

Can't block it!

At this moment, everyone felt that even the Intermediate Grade Second Rank Defense Talismans couldn't ward it off.

"Stop playing the flute and form the array!" In the nick of time, Lin Yuqi hastily yelled out.

Each of the five Elders unleashed a spiritual flag.

The flags transformed into a five-colored mysterious barrier, responding to the Formation flags buried in the ground, intertwining spiritual light began weaving through the air, and in the blink of an eye, a massive golden light shield was formed.

Clang!

A deafening metallic clang, as if to shatter Lin Shiming's skull.

It nearly made Lin Shiming lose his balance.

The Mini Five Elements Vajra Cover successfully wrapped around the Red-haired Demon Monkey, but the bad news was that because of its frenzied burst out, only more than half of the Yellow-haired Demon Monkey was covered by the Vajra Cover.

Meanwhile, both the Red-haired and Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys inside the Vajra Cover were furiously swinging their clubs and smashing against the Vajra Cover.

With every strike, the color of the Vajra Cover faded a shade.

"Everyone, don't be stingy with your spiritual power, give it your all. This demon monkey is about to break through to a Third Rank Demonic Beast!" Lin Yuqing's face was filled with solemnity.

Then, with his body flashing with spiritual light, as a cultivator who specialized in body cultivation, he directly charged into the Vajra Cover and began a bloody struggle with the Red-haired Demon Monkey.

The five Elders controlling the Formation were also continuously forming hand seals.

It wasn't for nothing that the Mini Five Elements Vajra Cover had such a formidable reputation—it was not only a trapping formation!

As the Elders' mouths moved slightly, the hundreds of Spirit Stones previously embedded in the ground emitted fierce light, as surges of spiritual power poured into the Vajra Cover, transforming into five sharp blades.

They slashed towards the horde of demon monkeys.

...

"Quickly deal with the remaining dozen or so demon monkeys!" Seeing that the Elders and the Family Head were surrounding and attacking the Red-haired Demon Monkey and the majority of the Yellow-haired Demon Monkey, Lin Houyong, the eldest of the younger generation of the Lin Family, swiftly gave the command.

Various colorful magic artifacts bombarded the Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys in an instant.

Lin Shiming was witnessing the hunting team's reputation for the first time, with each magic artifact being immensely powerful and radiating spiritual light!

Especially their methods, after unleashing their magic artifacts, they almost immediately threw all sorts of talismans without a break.

Once the talismans were used up, they were already prepared with a second kind of magic artifact, and this second kind was even more insidious—there were Flying Needle artifacts, silver thread artifacts, and even Poison Hooks!

An entire set of attacks came down, and surely not many Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys could withstand it!

However, the speed of that group of monkeys still exceeded everyone's expectations, especially since a few of them were clearly in the later stages.

A single leap, and they instantly dodged!

Without the chaos of the demon flute, the wisdom of these monkeys was equally significant, so this devastating set of attacks barely managed to kill a few mid-stage Spirit Monkeys.

The dispersal of the Spirit Monkeys increased the difficulty of the Lin Family Cultivators' group attacks.

"Everyone, spread out and kill them, we cannot let a single demon monkey escape, nor can we allow them to return to Peach Blossom Valley!" Peach Blossom Valley was now almost under the Lin Family's mark, and naturally, the Lin Family would not let these monkeys continue to wreak havoc.

And while Lin Shiming and the other younger disciples of the Lin Family were growing impatient, they quickly charged out to attack the Second Rank mid-stage Demonic Beasts.

Among them, Lin Shijie with his Fire-returning Sword was specially targeting Second Rank later stage Yellow-haired Demon Monkeys.

Lin Shiming was not falling behind either. He threw out a large handful of vine seeds, then with a flip of his hand, he cast a spell, and a sea of vines burst forth, entangling multiple demon monkeys.

In the blink of an eye, many demon monkeys were killed by the hands of the Lin Family's cultivators.

However, just then, from within the Peach Blossom Valley, another sharp and piercing monkey howl sounded, followed by a huge Red-haired Monkey bursting out.

The enormous black iron rod turned into a dark shadow, ferociously smashing towards the people.

"No good, there's another one, everyone retreat quickly!" Lin Houyong's expression darkened instantly, as he shouted out repeatedly.
