Liu Zimo wandered within the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate, from the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect, and then from the Inner Sect to the True Transmission.
All along the way, he moved like a ghost, shuttling back and forth between the crowds and the buildings, binding all the cultivators whose lock shadows he saw within three feet of him.
In just over ten minutes, he had consecutively bound over two hundred people!
It must be said that the Sect War that happened over a month ago resulted in unimaginable losses for both the Qingyun Immortal Gate and the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate.
Otherwise, the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate, which is also an Apex Level Immortal Gate, would not have only a little over two hundred talented disciples.
It was a clear case of both sides suffering heavy losses.
Liu Zimo stood on the roof of the True Transmission Great Hall, shaking his head slightly and sighing.
In the entire Qingyun Immortal Domain, there was probably no one who knew better than him how many talented cultivators had died outside the Qingyun Immortal Gate during the three Sect Wars.
"All the disciples and elders of the True Transmission who were at home have been bound. Next is the core of the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate!"
Liu Zimo looked up at the peak where the Illusory Moon Great Hall was located.
At this moment, he had already sensed the aura of Palace Xingyue's cultivation base.
Even though so much time had passed, Palace Xingyue's injuries had not fully healed and she was still in Closed Door Training for recovery.
"Besides Palace Xingyue, there are also two Nascent Soul peak experts guarding there."
"At least from the surface, the high-end combat power of the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate is indeed superior to that of the Qingyun Immortal Gate!"
The Qingyun Immortal Gate could only produce one Nascent Soul peak expert, the Keeper of the Books.
As for Xing Yuzhu, although she also had some combat power, she had just recently taken over someone's body and her cultivation base had not fully recovered.
If a life-and-death battle were to break out, she would not be a true match for a Nascent Soul peak expert.
In the previous Sect War, I don't know what method Xing Yuzhu used, but she managed to prevent the other two Nascent Soul peak experts of the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate from participating in the battle in a timely manner.
Otherwise, the final outcome of the three sects' battle would have definitely been different.
Swish!
Liu Zimo's figure flashed, once again turning into a black mist, silently drifting towards the peak of the Immortal Gate, appearing in front of a window in the Illusory Moon Great Hall.
Unlike the Qingyun Great Hall of the Qingyun Immortal Gate, there were no traces of any protective formations within this core building of the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate.
"No, it's not that there are no protective formations, but they have engraved the formations on the walls and pillars of the Great Hall."
"This is a reverse illusion killing formation that invites the enemy into the trap!"
The moment he approached the Great Hall, Liu Zimo felt a response in his heart, identifying the hidden formations engraved on the walls and pillars of the Illusory Moon Great Hall.
Most defensive formations are designed to showcase the strongest aspect on the outer layer, aiming to defend against enemies from the outside and keep them away from the Great Hall.
However, this reverse illusion formation in front of me is different. It appears defenseless, but it is actually a trap. Once an outsider forcefully enters the hall, it will immediately activate, trapping them in an illusion without their knowledge.
"It seems to be the Yin & Yang Locking Formation!" Liu Zimo squinted his eyes and murmured.
"Yes, it shouldn't be wrong. The detailed record of this formation can be found in the inheritance Jade Slip placed on the bottom shelf of the ninth row on the third floor of the Library."
"I just didn't expect that the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate would go to such lengths, imprinting this uncommon reverse formation throughout the entire Illusory Moon Great Hall!"
"If someone unlucky steps into it carelessly, even if they don't die, they will definitely suffer."
Liu Zimo sighed softly in his heart.
The Yin & Yang Locking Formation, just by its name, one can tell that it is specifically used to trap people. Because the formation process is extremely complex and requires a profound understanding of the Yin & Yang Five Elements, few people can set it up, making it a niche formation.
In Liu Zimo's memory, the Jade Slip that recorded the Yin & Yang Locking Formation had not been consulted by any sect disciple for over a year.
For those unfamiliar with this formation, it is easy to fall into it and be unable to escape.
What's more important is that this formation has a great effect in dispelling illusions and has a strong restraining effect on stealth cultivation techniques and secret arts.
Even the "Divine Breath Technique" and "Mist Concealment Technique" of the Louwailou are highly likely to be exposed in front of it.
Therefore, this reverse formation is one of the formations that the assassins of the Louwailou fear and detest the most.
"So, it's still important to read more books when there's nothing else to do!" Liu Zimo sighed softly in his heart again.
If it weren't for his extensive knowledge and lack of pickiness, he probably wouldn't have recognized this obscure Yin & Yang Locking Formation today.
If he had used the "Divine Breath Technique" and "Mist Concealment Technique" as usual to enter the Illusory Moon Great Hall, then the next second, he would have been attacked and killed by three peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
Liu Zimo has just stepped into the peak Nascent Soul realm, but he is not confident in dealing with the attacks of three veteran peak Nascent Soul cultivators at the same time.
"However, my purpose for coming to the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate this time is not to fight, nor is it necessary to enter this Illusory Moon Great Hall!"
Liu Zimo raised his eyebrows and quickly came up with an idea.
Swish!
He transformed into black mist and appeared on the platform in front of the Illusory Moon Great Hall.
The aura of the peak Nascent Soul realm suddenly leaked out, and with a rough and loud voice, he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate is nothing special!"
"I've been wandering around here for half a day, yet no one has been able to detect my presence. It's really boring!"
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Upon hearing Liu Zimo's arrogant shouting, the two Nascent Soul peak cultivators who were meditating in the Great Hall instantly appeared.
When they saw the black mist standing in the middle of the Great Hall square, laughing maniacally, their expressions changed.
"Nascent Soul peak?!"
"The Mist Concealment Technique from the Louwailou?!"
"You are Gong Sunyongji, the vice hall master of the Louwailou?!"
The two of them directly called out the name "Gong Sunyongji".
It was well known that among the branch halls of the Louwailou in the Qingyun Immortal Domain, Gong Sunyongji was the only Nascent Soul peak assassin.
Now, seeing someone displaying the Louwailou's exclusive Mist Concealment Technique and sensing that the opponent's cultivation base was at the Nascent Soul peak, they naturally associated it with Gong Sunyongji.
After all, as a Nascent Soul peak assassin, Gong Sunyongji rarely revealed his true form. Apart from some core subordinates within the Louwailou, there were hardly any people who truly knew him.
Liu Zimo's laughter gradually stopped. Upon hearing them call him Gong Sunyongji, he neither admitted nor denied it.
At this moment, his gaze was completely drawn to the dazzling light emanating from the heads of the two Nascent Soul peak cultivators.
One red and one green, exceptionally eye-catching, and both radiating a brilliant light!
The two stood together, red and green complementing each other, illuminating the entire mountain peak with a festive atmosphere.
Without any hesitation, Liu Zimo directly moved his mind and immediately bound the Lock Shadows on the heads of the two.
"Binding successful! Your good sister Tian Baobao is online. Currently bindable objects (540/1000)."
"Binding successful! Your good brother Mu Shangzhi is online. Currently bindable objects (541/1000)."
A man and a woman, two Nascent Soul peak cultivators, were both successfully bound by Liu Zimo.
Ignoring the continuous probing words from the two, Liu Zimo casually clicked on the exclamation mark symbol constantly flashing above their heads.
In an instant, information about the two's Spiritual Roots and cultivation base attributes appeared directly in front of Liu Zimo:
[Name] Tian Baobao
[Age] 109,123
[Spiritual Roots] Supreme Grade Water Spiritual Roots
[Cultivation Base Realm] Nascent Soul peak
[Cultivation Technique] Water Moon Fairy Art, Nine Spirit Arts, Lingxi Daoist Art, Spirit Ascension Daoist Art, Sword Control Art...
[Name] Mu Shangzhi (Body Possession)
[Age] 213,521
[Spiritual Roots] Supreme Grade Water Spiritual Roots
[Cultivation Base Realm] Nascent Soul peak
[Cultivation Technique] Water Moon Fairy Art, Nine Spirit Arts, Lingxi Daoist Art, Spirit Ascension Daoist Art, Sword Control Art...
Both had Supreme Grade Water Spiritual Roots, and their cultivation techniques were similar.
The difference was that Tian Baobao was her true body, while Mu Shangzhi was a body possessor!
It seemed that the matter of body possession was not only happening within the Qingyun Immortal Gate.
The experiences of Ascension cultivators in the Transcendent realm were almost the same no matter where they were.
However, the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate did not have an Ascension site like the Qingyun Immortal Gate.
Therefore, the number of body possessors within the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate was not as rampant as in the Qingyun Immortal Gate.
"Gong Sunyongji, the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate and the Louwailou have always kept their distance. I wonder why you have come here today?"
Seeing that the other party was reluctant to speak, Mu Shangzhi couldn't help but frown and ask.
Did this Gong Sunyongji have a problem?
He secretly came to their Illusory Moon Immortal Gate in the middle of the night. Could it be to mock their lax defense?
Damn it, you are a Nascent Soul peak assassin!
In the entire Qingyun Immortal Domain, which Immortal Gate dares to say that they can completely defend against you without fully activating their defensive formation?
"I'm here to seek good fortune!"
With his goal achieved, Liu Zimo was in a good mood. Upon hearing Mu Shangzhi's question, Liu Zimo moved his mind and spoke loudly.
"Recently, the Louwailou's business has been a bit sluggish. I heard that the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate is wealthy, so I thought I'd come here to seek some benefits and bring some good fortune back!"
Both Tian Baobao and Mu Shangzhi's eyes twitched upon hearing this.
Seek good fortune?
What kind of fortune does an assassin leader like you seek?
Why not just say it's extortion and blackmail?
"Gong Sunyongji, what do you mean by this?"
Tian Baobao's aura surged, staring at Liu Zimo with anger, and shouted sternly,
"Extorting and blackmailing us, the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate? Do you really think we are easy to bully?!"
"Do you believe that I can activate the defensive formation right now and keep you here permanently?"
Liu Zimo stood still, casually dispelling the oppressive aura emanating from Tian Baobao, and said casually,
"Tian Baobao, are you sure you can keep me here?"
"You should think it through. I came to seek good fortune from you. It's an opportunity for you to spend money to resolve your troubles!"
"Since you don't appreciate it, then I'll just have to pay a visit to the Qingyun Immortal Gate!"
Sure enough, upon hearing "Gong Sunyongji" mention the Qingyun Immortal Gate, both Tian Baobao and Mu Shangzhi's expressions changed simultaneously.
"What do you mean by this?!"
