Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Turning Their Scheme Against Them
Xu Nian walked up to Shi Guangxu, and a strong suction came from his palm.
Following the release of the suction, in no time, a faint white glow flew out from Shi Guangxu, eventually gathering in Xu Nian’s palm.
"Damn it, that old undying actually sprinkled Spiritual Demon Powder on me, trying to set me up! Is my power that strong for him to be so calculated against me?" Shi Guangxu exclaimed as he glared at the Spiritual Demon Powder in Xu Nian’s palm.
"It’s not that he’s calculated against you; it’s because you’re the weakest, so sprinkling Spiritual Demon Powder on you is hard for others to notice." Li Anshan bluntly pointed out.
Shi Guangxu looked at Li Anshan speechlessly, as though saying "Would it kill you not to be so honest!"
"Xu Nian, how did you know that Elder Yu Mo was tampering with Shi Guangxu?" Li Tiangang couldn’t help but ask.
Clearly, Xu Nian hadn’t noticed before; he only learned after seeing the Communication Spirit Talisman earlier.
Could someone from Elder Yu Mo’s side be leaking information to him?
"It was Gu Xiangxiang. Earlier, I subdued her and fed her poison; she must have been afraid of dying, so she communicated. Originally just a random pawn, but unexpectedly it worked." Xu Nian said with a smile.
Li Tiangang, Liu Bai Ru, and others were stunned upon hearing that Xu Nian had actually planted a spy within Elder Yu Mo’s team.
This Gu Xiangxiang was Yuan Ba’s apprentice; no one would have expected her to assist Xu Nian.
"Why didn’t you say this earlier? If I knew she listened to you, I would have threatened her to give me a good time." Shi Guangxu said accusingly.
No sooner had he spoken than Mei Ji and Liu Bai Ru glared at Shi Guangxu.
"Just kidding, I was kidding." Shi Guangxu laughed awkwardly, quickly shutting his mouth.
Because he felt a palpable killing intent.
It was evident that, as women, they scorned such behavior from Shi Guangxu, especially since Liu Bai Ru was Shi Guangxu’s aunt.
"Xu Nian, what do we do now? Elder Yu Mo will definitely wait for us to enter the formation before they enter." Li Tiangang spoke.
Xu Nian pondered upon hearing this.
"Since they want to set a trap for us, why don’t we just turn their plan against them?" Suddenly, Xu Nian’s eyes lit up as he spoke.
"Eh? What do you mean?" Li Tiangang and others asked.
"Let’s use a bit of Spiritual Demon Powder to attract the Heavenly Killers, then when they enter, I’ll have Void Spirit Worms carry the Spiritual Demon Powder to attract all the Heavenly Killers to them, and then we’ll seize the chance to rush through." Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Good idea, but how fast are the Void Spirit Worms? Will they be caught by the Heavenly Killers ahead of time?" Li Tiangang asked.
"Don’t worry about that, Senior Li. The Void Spirit Worms left to me by Lan Xi are Peak of Tribulation Crossing level, so their speed matches that of an Early Stage Earth Immortal. I’ll use Space Shuttle Profound Argumentation to aid the Void Spirit Worms; they’ll definitely reach their destination before the Heavenly Killers catch up." Xu Nian replied.
"But Elder Yu Mo and his group aren’t foolish; they’ll definitely kill the Void Spirit Worms as soon as they see them, making it impossible to lure all Seven Evils." Liu Bai Ru frowned.
"I’ve thought about that too. It’s impossible to sprinkle Spiritual Demon Powder directly on them, but we don’t need to. As long as we can lead away all the Heavenly Killers, we can quickly seize the chance to break through the Great Formation." Xu Nian said.
Li Tiangang and others nodded in agreement.
According to Xu Nian’s plan, even if these Heavenly Killers doubled back to chase them, they’d have already reached the inside of the Killing Array, making a pursuit impossible for them.
"Hope they’re careless and get a taste of being surrounded by Seven Evils." Shi Guangxu said fiercely.
Xu Nian smiled slightly, then said, "Let’s go inside."
With that, everyone followed Xu Nian toward the formation ahead.
"Buzz!"
Upon entering the formation, the scene before Xu Nian and his group transformed, revealing a dense, misty forest instead of the previous ruins.
The scenery looked the same in all directions, making it impossible to know which way led to the core of the Sage Sect.
"Follow me!" Xu Nian immediately said, leading the five others in a direction.
The Illusion Array, capable of baffling other Earth Immortal Realm experts, posed no challenge for Xu Nian, a Top-grade Array Master.
Moreover, Xu Nian’s Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar was a Space Controller, far exceeding ordinary cultivators in spatial discernment.
Thus, the Illusion Array provided no hindrance to him.
"Roar!"
Soon, terrifying roaring sounds came from ahead.
"They’re here! Be cautious!" Xu Nian quickly warned.
Everyone took on an alert posture.
Before long, a massive, jet-black humanoid creature appeared before Xu Nian and the others.
Its eyes on Xu Nian were filled with intense greed.
Spiritual Demon Powder’s attraction is innate to wicked creatures.
However, this substance is generally challenging to refine, and Elder Yu Mo undoubtedly prepared it specifically for the Seven Evil Formation.
"Roar!"
The Heavenly Killer screamed, charging at Xu Nian.
Its speed was extremely fast, like a rainbow streaking across.
Xu Nian immediately released his wings, quickly dodging.
"Roar!"
The roaring sounds continued from afar.
Soon, several figures dashed forward from the distance.
These figures were nearly identical to the previous Heavenly Killer, each eye glinting with malicious intent.
Li Tiangang and Liu Bai Ru didn’t hesitate and directly engaged two Heavenly Killers.
The roaring continued.
Heavenly Killers kept approaching Xu Nian and his group.
"Why haven’t they entered yet?" Li Anshan and the others secretly cursed.
Xu Nian frowned slightly, fearing the consequences if Elder Yu Mo’s side delayed entry.
He was betting that Elder Yu Mo wouldn’t wait long, knowing that missing the chance would also make crossing the Great Formation difficult for them.
Meanwhile, Elder Yu Mo’s side got excited as Xu Nian and his group combated the Heavenly Killers.
"Master, they’ve fallen into our trap!"
Guihai Tiangong spoke excitedly, eyes gleaming with schadenfreude.
Elder Yu Mo smiled and said, "Let’s cross the Great Formation first and let them fend off for a while."
Guihai Tiangong and others displayed cold smiles.
The group of eight then entered the Seven Evil Formation.
"They’re here!"
As soon as they entered, Xu Nian sensed spatial fluctuations, eyes gleaming as he released a Void Spirit Worm carrying Spiritual Demon Powder toward Elder Yu Mo’s group.
At the same time, Xu Nian employed Space Folding Profound Argumentation, enabling the Void Spirit Worm to instantly teleport a short distance.
