NOVEL NEXT Chapter 186 Siege_1
Lin Tianming and his companion made up their minds to get involved. Although the hope was slim, if they did not try, there would be no hope at all. By trying, at least there was a glimmer of hope, wasn't there?
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea had passed, led by the six major Golden Core forces, they planned to temporarily leave the lakeside to find a location rich in fire properties to set up the formation.
With a small portion giving up the opportunity and those with ulterior motives leaving, those who confirmed their participation followed Chu Jie and the others away.
The two followed behind a group of cultivators, walking for half an hour before they arrived at a valley filled with boulders.
About a hundred cultivators stood at the top of the valley, then surveyed the surroundings.
Looking around, there was a seemingly bottomless canyon with boulders scattered on both sides, and even the ground was reddish-brown soil. A stream of heat wafted out from the depths of the canyon, clearly a natural spirit land of fire.
At this moment, Su Yunlong, standing at the forefront, smiled joyfully and then said to the cultivators beside him:
"Fellow daoists, this is a natural fire spirit land I stumbled upon by chance. It is quite suitable for setting up the Myriad Flames Sky-Scorching Formation. As long as that Third Order Tianluan Turtle enters the formation, we can certainly weaken its strength within a short time."
Feeling the intense fire properties of the spiritual power enveloping them, Chu Jie and Xu Hua couldn't help but reveal a trace of satisfaction.
"With such a natural spot, our chances of success have greatly increased. As long as that Third Order Tianluan Turtle comes here, it will surely leave its life behind," Chu Jie said excitedly.
Xu Hua nodded and looked up at the scorching sun overhead, then said as a reminder:
"We should not delay. Let's set up the formation before noon and do our best to lure the Third Order Tianluan Turtle here."
"Indeed, after today's time passes, we would have to wait another day, and we don't have much time left," Li Wenyi chimed in.
"Let's trouble Su Daoyou to take action and set up the formation, and then place the Tianluan Grass within the formation."
Xu Hua waved his sleeve, handing over a jade box containing the Tianluan Grass to Su Yunlong, signaling him to quickly set up the formation.
Su Yunlong took the Tianluan Grass and without hesitation leaped from the mountaintop, landing at the bottom of the valley.
He scanned the area at the bottom, picked a relatively small and uneven location, and then took out five fire-red flags and a dark-colored array plate.
After surveying his chosen spot, Su Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, then threw the five flags into the sky, which then steadily disappeared into the soil beneath some boulders.
At the same time, he made a spell gesture with his hands, light after light of spiritual light bombarding the array plate.
"Hum hum hum..."
Some time passed, and a few unique humming sounds emanated.
A faint red light screen suddenly appeared over the valley, covering a large area. The formation light screen showed briefly before dissipating, and the valley returned to calm.
He nodded in satisfaction, then took out the Tianluan Grass and placed it at the center of the formation.
Feeling the formation activate, he then left the formation's interior and came to the front of the group of cultivators.

Looking at his handiwork, Su Yunlong's eyes gleamed with pride as he said to the cultivators:
"Fellow daoists, the Myriad Flames Sky-Scorching Formation has been activated, and the Tianluan Grass has also been placed inside. Let us all retreat deep into the valley and conceal any traces of our presence, lest we startle the beast unnecessarily."
"Everyone retreat deep into the valley, and remember to collect your composure so as not to disturb the Tianluan Turtle. Otherwise, if our plan fails, the consequences need not be mentioned by me!"
After saying this with a threatening tone, Chu Jie led the Zhenyang Sect cultivators away, and the disciples of the other Golden Elixir Forces hurriedly followed suit.
The remaining cultivators of unknown origin quickly followed; Lin Tianming and his companion blended among them, disappearing in the sky above the canyon.
They reached deep into the canyon, a few miles away from the formation, where everyone subdued their minds and spirits, waiting for any movement within the formation.
In the blink of an eye, it was already midday.
The sun shone brightly at this hour, generating massive amounts of heat from the depths of the canyon. The heat evaporated into dense mist, enveloping the whole valley as if it were a mystical land of immortals.
Lin Tianming and his companion sat inconspicuously at the back of the crowd, keenly observing any movement at the entrance of the canyon, ready to flee at any moment.
Although they had a Second Order Formation and over a hundred cultivators to attack the clan of Tianluan Turtles, no one could guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen. If two Third Order Demonic Beasts appeared, all their planning would be in vain. At that time, they would not stay to fight to the death; likely everyone was thinking the same.
Chu Jie and Xu Hua kept their eyes wide, staring at the dense fog ahead, full of worry.
After some time had passed at the edge of the valley, one by one, immense turtles appeared. They were huge, each several meters in size, with blue and white intermingled shells easily identifiable on their backs.
"The Tianluan Turtle clan has finally arrived,"
Chu Jie and Xu Hua were excited, and spiritual light twinkled faintly from the magic artifacts in their hands, clearly ready to strike.
All the cultivators on the scene noticed the arrival of the Tianluan Turtles and prepared themselves accordingly.
However, the figure of the Third Order Tianluan Turtle was still nowhere to be seen, causing the cultivators to feel somewhat helpless, continuing to wait.
After a short while, a deep and unique sound came.
