Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Elder Yu Mo’s Schemes
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar, Xu Nian, swiftly led Liu Bai Ru, Li Tiangang, and the others to the southern side of this Illusion Array.
In front of them lay a stretch of forest, yet everyone present felt that it seemed somewhat unreal.
Previously, observing from afar, they couldn’t detect anything, but now, being near the formation, upon careful scrutiny, the traces of the formation were discernible.
After all, this Illusion Array was a natural one.
"Is the Seven Evils really hiding behind this Illusion Array? If I go in, will I be clapped to death by him with a single palm?" Shi Guangxu asked worriedly, pointing to the Illusion Array ahead.
"Yes, it’s highly possible that the first one he claps would be you as soon as you enter," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"Then I’ll walk behind you," Shi Guangxu immediately said, frightened, as he hid behind Xu Nian, looking like a mouse facing a cat.
Liu Bai Ru and the others all smiled helplessly; Shi Guangxu was just there to lighten the mood.
Given his strength, making it to this point was a rare feat.
"Back to the point, Xu Nian, how should we break into the formation?" Li Tiangang asked.
Now that Xu Nian’s identity was completely unveiled, he didn’t bother to conceal anything anymore; he had already reverted to his original appearance and identity.
"There are seven Heavenly Killers in the Seven Evil Tribulation Immortal Array. We will attack the formation from the south. We cannot predict how many Heavenly Killers we will encounter. If we encounter three, then Brother Li, Sister Liu, and I can hold them off, and Brother Li will lead Sister Mei Ji and Shi Guangxu through," Xu Nian said.
"What if we encounter four, or even more?" Li Anshan couldn’t help asking.
Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang both looked at Xu Nian.
Such a situation certainly existed, and the possibility was quite high.
Including Xu Nian, they only had three Late Stage Earth Immortal powers. If they really encountered four Heavenly Killers, they would have a hard time dealing with it.
"I anticipated this situation long ago. If we encounter four or even more Heavenly Killers, we’ll use this formation," Xu Nian said.
With that, six Jade Pendants with array patterns appeared in his hand.
"What formation is this?" Shi Guangxu asked as he took a Jade Pendant.
"This formation is called the Hexagram Blazing Heart Formation. It’s a top-grade array with low difficulty in deployment. Once the six Tokens are crushed, the six holders of the Tokens can instantly form a six-person combined attack formation, merging everyone’s strength and distributing it equally. This way, confronting battles becomes slightly easier," Xu Nian explained.
Everyone around was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
Such a formation could transfer and evenly distribute power to everyone.
If this were the case, even Shi Guangxu and the others could possess nearly late Earth Immortal Realm strength.
"This formation is great! I can also experience the strength of the late Earth Immortal Realm," Shi Guangxu said with enthusiasm.
Everyone around smiled helplessly; Shi Guangxu was still acting like a lively character.
"Shall we go in now?" Liu Bai Ru asked.
"No rush, let’s wait for them to go in first. This way, the nearby Heavenly Killers will be drawn away by them first, reducing the chance of us facing four Heavenly Killers," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang both nodded and stopped rushing to go in.
While Xu Nian and the others waited for Elder Yu Mo to enter the formation first, Elder Yu Mo and his party were standing at the northern entrance of the formation.
"Master, are we really going to let Xu Nian go just like that? He killed my brother; this revenge cannot go unavenged," Guihai Tiangong said anxiously.
Previously, the alliance between Elder Yu Mo and the strong ones of the Mu Residence had already displeased him.
Now, seeing Xu Nian’s rising prominence, he felt a tinge of jealousy.
"Tiangong, why the rush? Even if you have a grudge against him, you shouldn’t act so impatiently. While I admire his talents, I’m well aware that the chances of him working for me are slim to none," Elder Yu Mo said mildly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Then why did you let them attempt the formation on the other side alone? Why not take this chance to kill him?" Guihai Tiangong couldn’t help but ask.
"Haha, you don’t understand. I let them attempt the formation on the other side for our own purposes. That kid refused our invitation, so why would I let him off? In fact, I took advantage to sprinkle Spiritual Demon Powder on Shi Guangxu. Once they enter the Seven Evil Formation, they’ll be fiercely attacked by the Heavenly Killers. Then we can smoothly enter the inner formation, while they would be torn apart by the seven Heavenly Killers," Elder Yu Mo laughed heartily.
Hearing this, Guihai Tiangong’s eyes lit up instantly.
He hadn’t expected his master to have such a cunning plan. This way, they could safely enter the formation and use the Heavenly Killers to kill Xu Nian and his party. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Guihai Ba Dao and Guihai Yanshan were also delighted and praised Elder Yu Mo secretly.
"Senior Yu Mo truly lives up to his reputation. He had already foreseen such a situation. Li Tiangang and the others are destined to die in the Seven Evil Tribulation Immortal Array, and then the entire Sage Sect’s treasure will belong to us," Yuan Ba commented approvingly.
Elder Yu Mo’s face displayed a smile, thoroughly enjoying the flattery from everyone.
However, he didn’t notice the slight furrow of Gu Xiangxiang’s brow in the crowd.
Nor did he notice that Gu Xiangxiang used a Communication Talisman to send out a message.
Indeed, Gu Xiangxiang was currently following Xu Nian’s orders and was acting as an undercover agent in their group.
If she didn’t follow Xu Nian’s orders, she’d be dead meat.
If Xu Nian died, she would follow suit.
So, for her own sake, she couldn’t let Xu Nian die here.
Upon sending the message, Gu Xiangxiang secretly prayed that Xu Nian and his group hadn’t entered the formation yet.
Because once they entered the Killing Array, it would be too late.
The message Gu Xiangxiang sent out was promptly received by Xu Nian.
Looking at the information on the Communication Spirit Talisman, Xu Nian’s face displayed a look of surprise.
He hadn’t expected Elder Yu Mo to be so ruthless, even sprinkling Spiritual Demon Powder on Shi Guangxu.
No doubt, he knew about the Seven Evil Tribulation Immortal Array long ago, and the Spiritual Demon Powder was prepared in advance.
Even if they weren’t the ones getting caught, it would have been someone else.
"Xu Nian, what’s wrong?" Liu Bai Ru and Li Tiangang asked immediately upon seeing the change in Xu Nian’s expression.
"Nothing much, we almost fell into Elder Yu Mo’s trap. They sprinkled Spiritual Demon Powder on Shi Guangxu. Once inside the formation, the Seven Evils will target Shi Guangxu, and we might end up getting caught in the crossfire," Xu Nian said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Liu Bai Ru and the others were filled with surprise, followed by a wave of anger.
They hadn’t expected Elder Yu Mo to be so vicious.
