He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 698: The Leader of the Tiger Sect

As soon as he finished speaking, the bear demon roared impatiently and rushed towards Li Di like a mountain, its momentum seeming to crush Li Di in an instant. Seeing this, Li Di immediately took a stance, and the two of them instantly engaged in a fight. In front of the huge and powerful bear demon, Li Di seemed so small, as vulnerable as a child.

The bear demon's attacks were incredibly powerful, each swing carrying a force so immense it seemed to rip the very air apart. However, despite its immense strength, the bear demon possessed a fatal weakness: its relatively slow speed. This weakness undoubtedly gave Li Di a glimmer of hope; if he could exploit it skillfully, he might still have a chance of victory.

However, Li Di made a surprising mistake in his choice of weapon. He had chosen a hammer, powerful but slow to wield. This choice put him in a very passive position during the fight. The bear demon, leveraging its relative strength and speed, relentlessly pursued Li Di. Li Di frantically swung his hammer, unable to hit the nimble bear demon, resulting in a frustrating situation.

Liu Si stood outside the arena, his face brimming with excitement, his eyes fixed on the fight inside, like a mischievous child watching his favorite toy play with great interest. He crossed his arms over his chest, occasionally letting out a hearty laugh. In his eyes, everything inside the arena was a brilliant performance, and those participating in the fight were merely puppets for his entertainment.

At this moment, the fourth elder seized an opportunity and quietly slipped out. As usual, he walked to where Elder Qingyi was. Upon seeing Elder Qingyi, the fourth elder hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "Elder, the sect leader has told me everything about the formation. What do you think we should do about this?" The fourth elder's face was anxious, his eyes full of expectation for Elder Qingyi.

Elder Qingyi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "This matter is not difficult to solve, but there are some key links that can only be handled by me personally. If you have any ideas about this, you might as well tell me." Elder Qingyi looked at the fourth elder calmly, as if waiting for him to give some useful suggestions.

The fourth elder's mind was always quick, but faced with this thorny problem, he was momentarily stumped. He scratched his head, looked at Elder Qingyi with an uneasy expression, and said helplessly, "Elder Qingyi, I've thought about it over and over again, but I really can't think of a good solution. It seems I can only wait until I return and tell the Sect Master the truth about this matter. I'm sure the Sect Master, with his vast experience, will be able to come up with a solution by then." A hint of frustration lingered in the fourth elder's tone, after all, he hadn't been able to help much.

Elder Qingyi nodded slightly, looked into the distance, and suddenly said, "Why is this fox demon here too?" The fourth elder followed Elder Qingyi's gaze, a smile appeared on his face, and he explained, "Elder Qingyi, with the help of the fox demon, our task will be much easier. She came here this time to assist us in completing the task, so the fox demon is on our side." The fourth elder felt it necessary to let Elder Qingyi understand the fox demon's position.

Elder Qingyi simply responded calmly, nodded, and said nothing more. In Elder Qingyi's eyes, there was not much difference between demons and humans. All things in the world were divided only into good and evil, and there was no absolute boundary between demons and humans.

Elder Qingyi watched the Fourth Elder's departing figure, feeling somewhat worried. He turned his head and looked outside, wondering what the sects outside were doing. After so much time had passed, they still hadn't cracked the formation.

By this time, the people outside had completely surrounded the formation. Their expressions were solemn, and they racked their brains, trying to find the formation's weak point. However, the formation was extremely intricately arranged, and they searched for a long time but still found nothing. Helpless, they could only wait outside, anxiously waiting, hoping that another expert would appear and come up with a way to break the formation.

Just as everyone was at their wit's end, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect hurried over. He looked at the formation with a serious expression and said slowly, "This formation is not unbreakable, but once it's broken, I'm afraid the people inside will take advantage of it and do something detrimental to us." The Fierce Tiger Sect leader's words were tinged with worry, making people feel anxious about what was going on inside.

The others, though puzzled, did not dare to ask rashly, seeing the solemn expression on the Tiger Sect Master's face. After all, the Tiger Sect was quite prestigious in the area, and the Master's words must have had a deeper meaning.

The leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect is now over a hundred years old and approaching the end of his lifespan. He has always harbored a deep desire to break through his own bottleneck in cultivation before he dies. He believes that since demons can harness the special power of this place, humans can too. Perhaps this is his chance to achieve a breakthrough.

Therefore, even though the Tiger Clan's large force arrived at the scene with overwhelming force, they didn't take any rash action. Faced with such a strange and mysterious formation, everyone was cautious. After all, no one knew the dangers hidden behind this formation. If they acted rashly, they would most likely fall into an irretrievable situation.

As for those above him asking why they were remaining inactive, the sect leader had already prepared an explanation. He declared that, with the information currently available, it was impossible to determine the true nature of this formation. Without a complete understanding of its principles and power, no attempt to break it should be made rashly. Otherwise, if uncontrollable consequences were to occur, the entire sect would face catastrophic disaster.

The disciples, upon hearing the Sect Master's words, had some thoughts in mind and wanted to express their own opinions, but they knew nothing about this mysterious formation. Without any concrete suggestions, they could only swallow their words and say no more, quietly waiting for further developments.

At that moment, within the formation, He Yuzhu was watching the fierce battle between Li Di and the bear demon with rapt attention. As expected, Li Di seemed overwhelmed by the bear demon's immense power. From the outset, he was constantly suppressed by the bear demon. Relying on its immense strength and sophisticated magic, the bear demon continuously launched fierce attacks at Li Di, forcing him to barely fend off his attacks and retreat.
