"When something abnormal happens, there must be a demon behind it. We found a secluded place, and while we were talking about the treasure map, a treasure map was delivered to our doorstep. Whether it's real or fake, I don't think this matter is that simple."
As Wang Chong spoke, he glanced at the two groups outside.
"Brother Zhou, this is also what I wanted to say. Whether it's real or fake, let's wait and see!"
At this moment, a dignified and elderly voice came from behind him. The Evil Emperor had also spoken.
"Zhang Wenfu, you …"
The Formation Elder turned his head, and when he saw the master and disciple, he was instantly struck dumb.
"Brother Fang, do you also think so?"
The Formation Elder turned to the silent Chief Of Wushang.
The Wushang Village Chief said nothing, only gave a slight nod. The Formation Elder was flabbergasted and speechless.
Outside the stone array, the battle between the two groups of people had reached its most intense moment. Three or four of the escaping people had already been stabbed down, and the remaining few were surrounded. They were all about to be killed.
In the next moment, just as the last two people were surrounded and were about to be cut down, weng, without any warning, as if time had frozen, the two groups of people suddenly stopped moving, and no one moved in the slightest.
"Old Six, did you notice anything?"
A voice asked after a long while. It was none other than the Eight Heroes of the Northern Pass.
"No. Even after the treasure map was thrown to the ground, no one came to take it. I think that they shouldn't be here, so this area can basically be ruled out. "
Another voice spoke up. It was that fiendish Huo Guo who had been pursuing them this entire time.
At this moment, from the tone and demeanor of the two, there was no sign that they were being chased or being chased.
"There's no mistake. This area can be ruled out as a suspect. Let's look elsewhere."
With these words, the two groups put their arms around each other's shoulders and put away their weapons. At the same time, the 'Eight Heroes of the Northern Fortress', who had been chopped down on the ground, suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. One by one, they turned from 'dead' to 'alive' and stood up from the ground.
Previously, they had been holding their breaths, but now that the performance was over, there was no need to do so.
"This, this is …"
Within the stone formation, the Formation Elder's eyes were wide open, and he had long ago become speechless.
"These bastards are too shameless!"
The Formation Elder gnashed his teeth in fury, his face turning red.
He had thought that he had picked up a great bargain. After all this time, it turned out that these fellows had joined hands to put on a show, deliberately luring them into the trap. Of the four, he was the only one to take the bait. How could the Formation Elder maintain his composure in front of Wang Chong and the others?
"Bastard, bastard! These fellows are too despicable and shameless! "
The Formation Elder clenched his fists in fury. Outside the stone array, the two groups of people did not notice anything. They picked up the swords and sabers on the ground, tidied up their clothes, and quickly left.
"Senior Zhou, the matter of the Origin Immortal Treasury has caused quite a stir in the northwest. Everyone in the entire region has heard the news and is searching for us. At a time like this, we can't take any news related to the treasure map lightly. At the very least, we have to act cautiously until there's no doubt about it. "
Wang Chong smiled and comforted the Formation Elder.
"Wang Chong, kid, do you think I don't know? I was just saying that on purpose to see how you would react!"
The Formation Elder stammered.
Wang Chong inwardly chuckled, but he did not expose him.
There was silence all around. Screech! Not long after the two groups of people left, another sharp cry came from above their heads.
Everyone raised their heads and saw a few large eagles flying above them. Their sharp eyes were constantly scanning the area below them like bolts of lightning.
The four of them said nothing, only watched as the eagles circled in the sky and then flew off in another direction.
"The allure of the Origin Immortal Treasury is far too great. With so many martial artists working together, they'll probably dig us out even if they have to dig three feet into the ground."
Chief Wushang sighed.
The group that had played the trick of injuring themselves to gain their confidence was clearly another group that had sent out eagles to patrol and investigate. In just a few short moments, they had encountered two groups of people.
Everyone vaguely felt a formless pressure. Although the northwestern region was huge, dealing with the search of so many cultivators was definitely not an easy task.
"Old Man Fang, there's no need to boost the morale of others and diminish your own. Even if you were standing outside my stone array, you wouldn't be able to see or hear anything. I don't believe that they have the ability to discover us. "
The Formation Elder finally found a chance to interject.
Putting aside everything else, he was very confident in the formation he had laid down.
At the very least, in this era where formations were on the verge of extinction, no one could compare to him. Didn't he manage to fool those two groups of people as well?
The Formation Elder had absolute confidence in the formation he had laid down, and this was his pride.
"Buzz!"
Wang Chong was just about to speak when a deafening buzz came from the distance.
The stone formation fell silent as Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Formation Elder, and the Wushang Village Chief all turned to the source of the voice.
"This is … a swarm of bees!"
"It's that fellow, the Five Poisons Elder!"
With just a glance, the Formation Elder paled. And within the formation, Wang Chong and the others also turned grave.
In the distance, on the horizon, a dark cloud was moving towards them at an alarming speed.
This black cloud was constantly changing, covering the sky and covering the earth, toppling the mountains and overturning the seas. It was like an ocean wave, surging across the land, heading in the direction of the crowd.
If one looked carefully, they would realize that this dark cloud was made up of countless wasps and bees. At a glance, there were more than one million of them.
In the martial arts world, they could only think of one person who could control so many wasps: the Five Poisons Elder.
In terms of seniority, the Five Poisons Elder was a martial arts expert of the same generation as Zhang Wenfu, and his reputation was so great that even someone like the Formation Elder, who paid little attention to the affairs of the martial arts world, had heard of him.
"This is troublesome."
The Formation Elder's brow deeply creased, no longer as relaxed as before.
The formation the Formation Elder had set up could fool the eyes and conceal one's aura, but it was useless against the Five Poisons Elder. The swarm of wasps only needed to ram into it, and the formation would be exposed.
The wasps moved far faster than anyone had imagined, and it took only a few moments for the swarm to crash into the stone formation the Formation Elder had set up.
Bang! It was like poking a hornet's nest. In a flash, all the wasps exploded, completely different from before.
Bzzz! A wave of wasps immediately split off and began to fly back in the direction they had come from.
"Strike!"
At the sight of this, all the hopes in everyone's hearts instantly vanished without a trace.
Thwish! Countless bits of dirt shot out of the ground, striking the wasps in the air like grains of sand.
Almost at the same time, the air distorted as a mountain-sized Stellar Energy palm slammed into the ground. In an instant, the entire ground sank, and countless poisonous wasps were smashed into dust by that huge palm.
The Chief Of Wushang, the Evil Emperor, the Formation Elder, and even Wang Chong had all taken action. Swathes of wasps were pulverized. At the same time, the stone formation retreated, the Formation Elder taking the lead and leaping out. Behind him, the Evil Emperor, Chief Of Wushang, and Wang Chong also leaped out.
"Let's get out of here! This place is no longer safe! The Five Poisons Elder can control wasps and all kinds of insects and beasts. He's an extreme counter to my formation. We can no longer hide here! "
The Formation Elder anxiously said.
Everything in the world had its counter, and the formation the Formation Elder had laid down could deceive even top-class experts, but against the Five Poisons Elder's wasps, it was rendered useless.
The northwest was no longer safe for the Formation Elder's group.
The four of them had reacted very quickly, but they had still been too slow.
"Hahaha, found you!"
At this moment, an elderly and sinister voice spoke.
"Forget about everything else. Let's go!"
The Evil Emperor sternly said. As he flew into the distance, he suddenly waved his sleeve, and a majestic Gang Qi immediately shattered the remaining poisonous wasps. Their body fragments rained down from the sky.
Countless martial artists and factions in the northwest were searching for them. If they were exposed, the consequences could be easily imagined.
Caw!
Just as everyone was flying, a crow cawed loudly and suddenly flew over from the southwest, soaring over everyone's heads. A few moments later, there was a cacophony of caws.
Wang Chong turned his head to take a look, and his expression immediately flickered. In the southwest direction, tens of thousands of crows were flying in their direction.
"Damn it, the Black Venom King has also come!"
The Formation Elder's eyes widened and he paled as he saw those crows rapidly approaching.
"Senior Zhou, who is the Black Venom King?"
Wang Chong asked.
"The Black Venom King and the Five Poisons Elder are both old monsters of the martial arts world. Added together, the two of them are more than one hundred years old, and the two of them are inseparable. The Five Poisons Elder is skilled at controlling wasps and small animals, while the Black Venom King is most skilled at controlling these black crows.
"Do you see the beaks of those crows? They're all black with a tinge of purple. Their beaks and claws are all dipped in poison. If you touch them, you'll immediately be poisoned, and you might even lose your life. Many martial artists of the martial arts world have died to his sneak attacks. "
The Formation Elder's voice was tinged with nervousness.
