As soon as the formation plate appeared in Zhang Xuan's hand, he immediately infused his zhenqi into it.
Tzzzzzzz!
Unlike the previous time, the formation plate began vibrating intensely upon receiving the infusion of zhenqi. Boom! A brilliant light shrouded the surroundings, forming a circle of several hundred meters in radius.
The circle grew larger and larger, and mist rose from it. It was like a brand new world. Not to mention the others, even he would lose his sense of direction if he were to suddenly fall into it. He would not be able to tell which direction was up, which was down, which was left, and which was north, south, west, and north.
"This is a grade-7 Beguilement Formation … Lu Xu Beguilement Formation?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Without activating the formation plate, even he wouldn't be able to tell what kind of formation it was. Even though the Library of Heaven's Path had verified the flaws of the formation, it was only the material and the formation blueprint.
Only by activating it and seeing it with his own eyes would he be able to tell what kind of formation it was and how powerful it was.
Lu Xu was a formation master from five thousand years ago. Back then, he had been trapped by a layer of mist in the mountain range and was unable to leave. Thus, he created this Beguilement Formation. Even though it was only grade-7 intermediate stage, it harnessed the might of an advanced stage or even pinnacle formation. Even a Saint 5-dan cultivator would find it difficult to escape from it for a short period of time.
It was for this reason that this formation was extremely famous. There were records of it in the library of the Formation Master School, and Zhang Xuan had only learned of it after browsing through all of the books in the library.
"Both of them have the surname Lu … Could he be School Head Lu Feng's ancestor?"
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
However, this wasn't the time to be thinking about such things. Thus, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"With this formation, the chances of us dealing with the Otherworldly Demons will increase significantly. However, I still have to make some preparations first …"
With the sudden rise in his cultivation and the formidable formation plate in his possession, Zhang Xuan's confidence soared. With a swift leap, he left the Myriad Anthive Nest and returned to the Subterranean Gallery.
The surroundings were still filled with killing intent, and the darkness made it difficult to see clearly.
Zhang Xuan's muscles twitched, and he morphed into the appearance of an Otherworldly Demon before heading in the direction he had escaped from.
Before he could get far, he saw two Otherworldly Demons flying in his direction.
"Don't you think it's strange? Nearly forty people disappeared just like that. How did they escape?"
"I also find it bizarre. Back then, I was standing guard outside with my eyes open the entire time, but I didn't even catch a glimpse of a ghost. Yet, the other party had already escaped … More importantly, we have been searching for a very long time now, but we haven't found a single person at all … What we have caught isn't a master teacher but a ghost, right?"
The two Otherworldly Demons chatted with one another as they flew.
Not even the Greenleaf King and the Goldenleaf King were able to figure out how Zhang Xuan and the other master teachers had disappeared, let alone them.
Most importantly, so many people had escaped, but not a single trace was left behind. It was very puzzling.
Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly frowned. He saw a clansman flying over from not too far away.
"How was it? Did the two of you get anything?"
This clansman asked as soon as they met.
"Hua Wu, weren't you sent to another direction? One of the Otherworldly Demons couldn't help but frown upon seeing the other party.
This time, there were a total of two hundred people who had passed through the seal, and they all knew each other.
This fellow had been sent to another direction, so why would he appear here?
"Oh, I have been searching that area, and I found a clue, so I followed you here!" Hua Wu explained.
"Clue? What clue? "
The eyes of the two Otherworldly Demons lit up.
"Here …"
With a flick of his wrist, Hua Wu took out a jade token and passed it over.
Curious, the two Otherworldly Demons lowered their heads to take a closer look. However, before they could see what was on the jade token, two fists were already falling on them.
Hong long!
The fists carried immense pressure, as if threatening to tear the air apart. The resulting shockwaves caused the ground in the surroundings to shatter.
"You …"
Naturally, the two Otherworldly Demons realized that there was something wrong with the other party. With livid faces, they hurriedly raised their fists to meet the other party's attack.
Peng peng!
The four fists collided with one another, and the two Otherworldly Demons felt as if an erupting volcano was crushing down on them. Their bodies stiffened, and they were sent flying.
Hong long!
They crashed into the ground, creating two huge depressions.
"Nascent Saint pinnacle, you sure are powerful!"
Hua Wu let out a strange cry and continued to charge forward. Without using any technique, he raised his foot and kicked at the two people who had fallen to the ground.
Peng!
Before the two Otherworldly Demons could even process what was going on, their heads had already been smashed into smithereens.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing how the two Saint 1-dan Otherworldly Demons were killed so easily, Hua Wu's eyes lit up in excitement.
Naturally, this fellow was Zhang Xuan in disguise.
He was curious to see just how powerful he was after his cultivation had soared. Only after trying did he realize how fearsome the Saint Ascension Decipher was. Putting aside cultivators of the same cultivation realm, even Otherworldly Demons of a higher cultivation realm could be slaughtered with ease.
They were no match for him at all.
"Let's see what they have!"
Zhang Xuan grabbed the storage rings on the two Otherworldly Demons' hands and sent his consciousness into them. However, he soon shook his head.
Even though the cultivation of the two Otherworldly Demons was on par with a 6-star master teacher, their wealth was far beneath that of a 6-star master teacher. Even the combined wealth of the two Otherworldly Demons didn't even amount to ten high-tier spirit stones!
"It's no wonder the Otherworldly Demons are so determined to invade the Master Teacher Continent.
It's probably because the otherworldly battlefield is simply too barren … "Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger and destroyed the two corpses. After which, he leveled off the damaged area around him. Just as he was about to continue onward, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he altered his appearance to that of the Otherworldly Demon whom he had just killed.
While it was impossible for him to kill two hundred Otherworldly Demons simultaneously, it was still possible for him to discreetly kill them one by one.
In any case, he had plenty of time on his hands, so he wasn't in a rush.
Once everything was ready, Zhang Xuan continued onward. Not too long later, he encountered two more Otherworldly Demons, and he killed them using the same method.
The Otherworldly Demons who came out to search for him were only at Saint 1-dan. Given his current strength, they posed no threat to him at all. Even without using his puppets, he was still able to deal with them easily.
An hour later, Zhang Xuan returned to the area where he had been standing.
The area was littered with rubble. There were quite a few Otherworldly Demons gathered around the area, seemingly trying to rebuild the place.
It had taken them nearly two months to rebuild the area, so it was impossible for them to do so within a short period of time.
"The Goldenleaf King and Greenleaf King seem to be around …"
Amidst the crowd, two powerful Otherworldly Demons were floating in the air. They were the two Kings from before.
At this moment, a deep frown could be seen on the faces of the two fellows.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there are no traces of the Otherworldly Demons in this direction!"
"Your Highness, I don't see anything on my side either …"
"They seem to have evaporated into thin air. There's nothing on our side either …"
More and more Otherworldly Demons came over to report the matter.
Zhang Xuan had fled in the form of a soul, leaving no trace behind at all. It would have been a miracle if these Saint 1-dan Otherworldly Demons were able to notice him.
"Damn it, forty of them vanished into thin air just like that. What in the world is going on?"
"How in the world did he do it?"
Not only were the Otherworldly Demons bewildered, even the Goldenleaf King and Greenleaf King were perplexed.
It was inconceivable to think that forty old and frail fellows, who seemed to be on the verge of dying at any moment, would slip away right under their noses.
"Do you think that … it could be a soul?"
The Goldenleaf King suddenly recalled the bizarre sensation he had felt earlier, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Soul?" The Greenleaf King was perplexed.
"Un. When we were standing guard outside the hall, didn't we sense something passing by? Perhaps, it was then that they escaped. To be able to leave right before our eyes without being noticed, the only explanation we can come up with is … a soul! "
The Goldenleaf King said.
"Soul? Wasn't that occupation wiped out by the master teachers due to their loyalty to our Otherworldly Demonic Tribe? "the Greenleaf King asked with a frown.
Soul oracles were one of the most bizarre occupations on the Master Teacher Continent. Back then, they had pledged allegiance to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but after they were discovered by the master teachers, they were completely wiped out.
For a master teacher, most likely the principal of a Master Teacher Academy, to actually use a soul oracle secret art to save them … Was this for real?
"Soul oracles have indeed been wiped out, but I'm not too sure what happened either …" The Goldenleaf King was still unable to make sense of the situation.
Other than using a soul, he couldn't think of any other way to escape.
Just as the duo was discussing the matter, a tribesman suddenly rushed over and reported, "Your Highness … I seem to have found traces of those master teachers!"
"You found them?"
Hearing those words, the eyes of the duo lit up, and they hurriedly turned their gazes over.
"Un. I saw some footprints, and they were clearly the footprints of humans. I didn't dare to pursue them, so I immediately returned!"
The tribesman explained.
"Well done!"
The Greenleaf King nodded.
Those tribesmen were simply too weak. If they were to pursue them recklessly, they could very well be killed.
"Where are they? Bring us over to take a look!"
The Greenleaf King said with a frown.
"Over there …"
The Otherworldly Demon replied.
"Let's head over to take a look!"
The Greenleaf King nodded. Just as he was about to have the Otherworldly Demon lead the way, the Goldenleaf King suddenly stopped him. "Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?"
It seemed like the Greenleaf King had arrived.
"Have you forgotten how bizarre that fellow is?"
The Goldenleaf King asked.
"This …"
The Greenleaf King's face tensed up. Only then did he recall that the fellow before him was able to disguise himself as a King. If that fellow was really in disguise, it could very well be a trap.
"Let me take a look!"
The Greenleaf King's eyebrows shot up as he extended his Spiritual Perception toward the Otherworldly Demon before him.
"Your Highness …"
The Otherworldly Demon clearly didn't expect the Greenleaf King to do such a thing. His face paled in fright, and he clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.
"He is …"
Just as the Greenleaf King was about to speak, the Greenleaf King suddenly heard a resounding boom. A layer of mist abruptly rose before him, and in the blink of an eye, it covered an area of several hundred meters.
Tzzzzz!
The mist obscured the surroundings, making it difficult for those who were caught in it to discern their bearings. It felt as if their eyes, ears, and noses had been clogged up.
"This … This is the Seven Star Beguilement Formation!"
The Goldenleaf King narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
Even he would find it difficult to escape from a Beguilement Formation of this level within a short period of time.
He quickly turned his gaze to the Greenleaf King, only to realize that the latter had already disappeared. Raising his head to take a look, he realized that his mind was also in a state of chaos.
