The People of the Higher Realms
"What on earth is going on? The Great Sage …."
The people of the Beast Region stared in astonishment at the Great Sage, who'd transformed into a giant ape. He'd clearly used his Fiery Eyes of Truth to destroy the formation. How did he end up like this?
He'd lost all sense of reason, only the bloodthirst of a wild beast.
"Didn't we already destroy the formation? Why is the Great Sage like this?"
Everyone looked at the elder of the Phoenix Clan. None of their clans were proficient in Qimen Dunjia, so the elder's words carried the most weight.
When the crowd looked over, they discovered that the Fire Phoenix Clan's elder's face was filled with a gloomy light.
"A double-layered formation. I never would've guessed the enemy had such an expert."
"A double-layered formation?" The onlookers didn't understand.
"A double-layered formation is a formation that, after the original formation is destroyed, places a double-layered formation on top of the original one. That way, the person breaking the formation will subconsciously believe that after breaking the formation, he'll once again fall into a mirage. The Great Sage really did destroy the original formation, but he fell into the trap of the double-layered formation. "
The elder furrowed his brows.
"The Double Illusion Formation is to dig out the inner world of the person inside the formation on an even deeper level. The Great Sage has already fallen deep into the formation, and has lost all sense of reason …. I suggest we give up on him. "
"Give up?!" The onlookers froze. From their expressions, it was clear that they didn't want to give up.
"If we don't give up, what else can we do?" The elder's face was filled with helplessness. "A formation grandmaster isn't someone I can handle. Now that the enemy has laid down a double-layered formation, he must be at the pinnacle of formation grandmasters. Besides, it's impossible to destroy the double-layered formation. Only the person trapped inside can break it on his own. Otherwise, no one can help him. "
"The Great Sage has already lost all sense of reason. We're also his targets. If we don't give up on him …. Are we just going to stay here and wait for death?"
The others fell silent. Then, someone spoke up.
"That's all we can do for now. Let's retreat! If the Great Sage really is unlucky …. When the time comes, we'll just have to avenge him. "
"Retreat."
The people of the Beast Region and the outskirts of the Immortal Region all agreed. Luo Wei and the others also arrived in front of Su Liu'er ….
She was still hugging Yuan Hong's body, but she was no longer crying bitterly. Instead, she was staring at the person in her arms with lifeless eyes, even though the person in her arms was already ice-cold.
"Water Empress, let's retreat!"
"I'm not leaving." Su Liu'er looked as if she'd lost her soul. She hugged Yuan Hong tightly, as if she'd been embedded in the ground. "I'm not leaving...."
"Empress!"
"I said I'm not leaving!"
Boom.
The Great Sage in his giant ape form had already begun his attack. His first target was the zombies. But even though they were far away, the Beast Region cultivators couldn't help but feel their eyelids twitch.
"Empress, let's hurry up and leave. The Great Sage has already gone berserk. If we stay here, we might all die."
The people around her repeatedly tried to comfort her, but she remained expressionless.
"Then die. I … will never leave Yuan Hong. I will never …"
…
"Brother Su, what's going on?"
Black Dragon, who'd gone off to instruct his subordinates to prepare for battle, returned just in time to see the Great Sage in his giant ape form. Like a human reaper, he stomped relentlessly on the zombies, who looked like mere ants to him.
Boom.
With each stomp, he crushed several zombies into meat paste.
"A double-layered formation," said Su Yiyun, frowning.
"Did you set it up, Brother Su?"
"No." Su Yiyun shook his head, then gazed intently into the distance. "There's an expert."
When he sensed Su Yiyun's gaze, Black Dragon followed his gaze. At the same time, he spread out his spiritual awareness and probed into the distance …..
"There's no one!"
"Even if there were, you might not be able to find them."
Su Yiyun mercilessly lashed out at Black Dragon.
"It's true that you have the strength of a supreme. In the entire Lower Three Realms, you're absolutely invincible. But there's always someone stronger. You should know that. "
"But this place …."
"Yes, this isn't the God Realm." Su Yiyun nodded. "But someone capable of setting up a double-layered formation has to be at least a grandmaster of formations. What's more, a double-layered formation requires an extremely high level of understanding of formations. You should know that he set up a double-layered formation based on my own formation. That makes the difficulty of setting up a double-layered formation exponentially higher. Given their abilities, it'd be easy for them to make it so that a mere supreme like you can't find them. "
"Then …. What do you think we should do, Brother Su?"
The awe-inspiring Black Dragon's words caused Su Yiyun to lose all confidence.
"Bide our time," said Su Yiyun.
"Bide our time?" Black Dragon arched his brows.
"Since they set up a double-layered formation based on my own, they naturally have to deal with that monkey. I heard that monkey is rather arrogant. It's understandable that he's offended a few enemies. But in the end, he's not one of us. What he thinks isn't something we can pry into. To be on the safe side, the way I see it, we should bide our time. "
Su Yiyun's face was filled with solemnity. Soon after, he opened his mouth again.
"Besides, the monkey's current target is the zombies. Isn't it a good thing for us to weaken them? Wouldn't it be better if we bide our time and reap the spoils of war? "
"Brother Su, you're absolutely right!"
Black Dragon felt that Su Yiyun's words made sense. Perhaps it was more accurate to say that he subconsciously believed everything Su Yiyun said was correct.
Nodding his head, he ordered the Devil Race's people not to move recklessly.
Su Yiyun let out a long, obscure sigh of relief. Then he gazed into the sky, as if trying to find the person who'd set up the formation.
"That monkey must be the one she can't forget," said Black Dragon.
Sure enough, there were people in the sky. Standing in the middle of the clouds was a youth dressed in brocade robes. His face was somewhat sinister, and the rims of his eyes were dark. He sneered at the rampaging Great Sage.
"Most likely," said another youth beside him. Another young man beside the young man said, "Before little sister returned to the clan, she seemed to have only interacted with him in the lower realms."
"Hmph, yao. Your clan's upbringing is really strict. You're actually involved with yao? "
"That's not for you to say," snorted the youth. "Enough. If it weren't for little sister, I wouldn't have come down with you. Now that the monkey has lost his mind, you can imagine what will happen. Let's hurry up and leave. There's an expert here. "
"You mean the grandmaster of formations?" Laughed the sinister youth. "Becoming a grandmaster in a place like this is indeed rare, but he's already at the end of his rope. What threat does he pose?"
