chapter 172: benefitting as the third party in a dispute daoist master fei yu could see through qi nanfei's intentions at a glance. he not only tried his best to prevent qi nanfei from approaching the core-induction tower but also deliberately led the battle away from it. qi nanfei ventured alone into the territory of the flying swan sect with the purpose of stopping the birth of a new gold core daoist master in the sect. he was willing to endure a few attacks from fei yu to destroy the core-induction tower. fei yu exerted all his efforts to protect the core-induction tower from being damaged and to ensure that the process of wu mingwei forming his core was undisturbed. qi nanfei and fei yu daoist master had clashed several times before, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses. unless unexpected events occurred, it would be difficult to determine a clear winner even after two or three rounds of combat. however, in general, destruction is usually easier than construction. fei yu had to protect the core-induction tower, which put him in a somewhat passive position at times. at this moment, the disciples of the flying swan sect in the vicinity quickly realized the situation and rushed to help. typically, foundation building stage cultivators would not intervene in battles between gold core daoist masters, and refining qi stage cultivators lacked the ability to approach the battlefield. nevertheless, being an ancient sect with gold core daoist masters, the flying swan sect had ways to influence gold core daoist masters through its disciples. groups of disciples gathered in front of the core-induction tower and jointly activated a massive stone monument. they formed the commonly used war formation of the flying swan sect, the four-pole town-mount formation. the complete four-pole town-mount formation required four stone monuments and was divided into four parts. with a sufficient number of foundation building stage cultivators, they could suppress a gold core daoist master using this formation. however, the flying swan sect did not have enough cultivators to form the complete four-pole town-mount formation; they could only manage a partial and incomplete formation. nevertheless, even a partial four-pole town-mount formation, being the signature formation of the flying swan sect, still possessed formidable power. a transparent light screen rose before the formation, protecting the cultivators behind it and the core-induction tower from the aftermath of the battle between qi nanfei and fei yu daoist master. now, fei yu daoist master could fight qi nanfei without worrying about affecting the core-induction tower. after a bitter struggle, the sect-protecting great formation of twin success valley was shattered. the foundation building stage elders and refining qi stage disciples who were channeling true qi into the formation were left injured, and casualties were severe. xiao fengyan, the pseudo gold core daoist master, lost the protection of the sect-protecting great formation and was slain by fei jiang daoist master. the destruction of the sect-protecting great formation revealed twin success valley's internal situation to fei jiang daoist master without hindrance. upon seeing a high tower within twin success valley, almost identical to the core-induction tower of the flying swan sect, fei jiang daoist master's face turned frosty. he no longer had the patience to investigate how twin success valley learned this secret and concealed the construction of the core-induction tower from the flying swan sect. "kill them all! i want twin success valley to be annihilated, not a soul left!" fei jiang daoist master's furious order resounded in the ears of every flying swan sect cultivator present. with a powerful swing of his horse-cutting blade, fei jiang daoist master struck the core-induction tower with all his anger. the blow was incredibly potent, and in a massive explosion, the tower was severed in half. inside, shan feiyu, who was in the process of breaking through to the gold core stage, perished without even knowing what had happened. though fei jiang daoist master destroyed twin success valley's core-induction tower, the tenth water essence that was supposed to be absorbed by the flying swan sect's core-induction tower ended up flowing in another direction, away from the sect. fei jiang daoist master continued his onslaught within twin success valley, venting his anger. it was only later that he noticed this anomaly. meanwhile, fei yu daoist master also realized that something was amiss. wu mingwei's aura had been steadily rising, but after reaching its peak, it unexpectedly stagnated. some time later, his aura began to decline rapidly. "this... this is a failure in forming the core? how could this happen? we made adequate preparations beforehand, and with wu mingwei's situation, forming the core should have been almost certain," fei yu daoist master murmured to himself. seeing fei yu daoist master bewildered, qi nanfei couldn't help but burst into triumphant laughter.
