As the disciples witnessed the gruesome deaths of Mu Lan and the others, terror gripped their hearts. They could see the red light emanating from the dragon, tiger, phoenix, and turtle statues, and they knew that death was imminent.

Quickly, the surviving disciples formed into groups of 30-40 members, hoping that their combined strength would help them survive. They split into five groups and stood together, their hearts pounding with fear.

The once-great army of over 200 disciples was now reduced to a mere 150, The air was thick with tension as they waited for the next attack, unsure if they would be able to withstand it.historical

In one of the groups, there were the disciples tasked with protecting Yue Mingluan, and among them were Zhu and Xoung He. While they were discussing their situation, Zhu couldn't help but feel like something was amiss.

At first, he thought it was strange that their so-called senior had gathered them in this specific location.

But Yue Mingluan speculated that the enemy reinforcements had arrived, Zhu realized the true danger they were in.

If the so-called senior was planning to attack with the reinforcements, half of them would already be dead from the statue's deadly beams of light. And if the reinforcements arrived, the remaining half would be weakened and easy targets.

Zhu turned to Yue Mingluan and said, "Young Master, I'll tell you everything I know about this situation. We need to find a way out of this."

Yue Mingluan listened intently as Zhu explained the gravity of their situation. His expression grew more serious with each passing moment. Finally, he spoke out loud, "Listen to me, everyone. We can't panic now. We must hold our ground against this situation, or it will only get worse."

Upon hearing Yue Mingluan's calming words, the other disciples breathed a collective sigh of relief. They knew that their leader had a plan to save them from this dire situation.

As the disciples stood in their groups, the four beast statues started shooting their deadly beams once again. The air was thick with tension as the disciples fought back, using their skills to resist the attacks. The ground shook with each blast of energy, and debris rained down upon them.

Despite their efforts, some disciples fell, their bodies limp as they were struck by the powerful beams. The surviving members continued to hold their ground, The battle raged on, with no end in sight.

Yue Mingluan observed the four statues carefully and noticed that they were taking longer to shoot their beams. He then turned his attention to Wang Chen, who was sitting on the ground with a mocking expression. This made Yue Mingluan angry, but he quickly shifted his gaze to the spirit stones.

He realized that their quantity had decreased to less than half of the initial 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. As he looked closer, he saw that the energy from the disappearing spirit stones was being absorbed into the circle where Wang Chen sat, as it seemed that Wang Chen was using the spirit stones to fuel his power.

As a sudden realization dawned on him, a small smile appeared on Yue Mingluan's face.

He turned to his fellow disciples and spoke up, "Listen to me, everyone. I may have found a way out of this situation. In the library, I read about a formation called the Four Divine Beast Killing Formation. As you all can see, the attacking statues are four divine beasts, so I'm certain this is the formation that has trapped us. To break it, we need to destroy the stone platform where that bastard is lounging." Yue Mingluan pointed towards Wang Chen as he spoke.

One of the disciples raised a concern, "But how can we break the platform when the wall is shielding, Young Master? And what if we get attacked by the statues during the process?"

Yue Mingluan replied, "Only those in the Core Formation Realm can break the wall, but we can weaken it with the combined strength of all our attacks. And as for destroying the statues directly, that's not an option. They will explode upon destruction, and we will all be killed."

Another disciple spoke up, "Then what do we do, Young Master? We can't just stand here and wait to be killed."

Yue Mingluan replied confidently, "We need to focus on weakening the wall and buy ourselves enough time to destroy the platform. And I have just the plan to do it."

Yue Mingluan pointed towards the spirit stones near Wang Chen and confidently explained, "Do you not see? Every time those statues attack, a large number of spirit stones are absorbed. The same goes for the transparent wall. If we attack the wall directly, the spirit stones will be absorbed to strengthen it, and we will continue to attack. Therefore, when all the spirit stones are used up, there will be no more attacks coming at us, and the transparent wall will disappear."

Upon hearing Yue Mingluan's explanation, the other disciples were surprised, but they also found his plan to be logical and feasible.

Yue Mingluan looked at Wang Chen with a sneer on his face, expecting him to be surprised or panicked by the exposure of his plan. However, to Yue Mingluan's surprise, Wang Chen had a wide smile on his face, as if he was amused by something. This made Yue Mingluan even more suspicious of Wang Chen's intentions.

Wang Chen clapped and laughed, taunting Yue Mingluan, "Looks like your brain finally shifted from your dick to the right position after you became a eunuch."

Yue Mingluan's face turned red with anger as Wang Chen's words hit him hard. He opened his mouth to retort but found himself at a loss for words.

Wang Chen chuckled as he pulled out a storage bag, "But you seem to forget one thing, my dear Yue Mingluan. What if I have more spirit stones?" He paused for a moment and then added with a smirk, "Your foresight is as small as your private part, which is now non-existent," The other disciples couldn't help but laugh at the jab, while Yue Mingluan's face turned red with embarrassment and anger again.
