An Yi and his team had gathered information about them, but Xiang Wan didn't pay much attention to it.
No matter how much potential you have, the real skill lies in surviving.
The leaders or sect leaders of the three major sects did not participate in the competition, ostensibly to give their disciples a chance to train.
Major sects have a natural advantage, with ample manpower and resources to choose from. Smaller sects, on the other hand, are at a disadvantage; once their main force dies, they are essentially disbanded.
"My disciple, once you go in, there's a nine out of ten chance of death. Are you afraid?"
Even though she had said it many times, Xiang Wan still couldn't help but ask Tu Hongye. He was still too young, and experiencing so much, she didn't know if it was good or bad for him.
"Master, rest assured. Even if it costs me my life, I will ensure your safety."
Tu Hongye's serious expression made Xiang Wan's head ache.
Was she someone who could only be saved by her disciple risking his life? This is just a hypothetical scenario, and it brings us back to her again.
She felt uneasy, but she accepted the favor.
She hadn't taken on the apprentice in vain; she couldn't let him be in any danger whatsoever.
Therefore, it is still necessary to use various methods.
The time for the formation to activate had come. The air at the entrance distorted for a moment, and a vortex that could only accommodate two people appeared.
Without saying a word, everyone rushed inside.
This grand formation was actually established jointly by three court officials. Those inside cannot see what's happening outside, and those outside naturally have no idea what's going on inside.
Sects like the Pingyang Sect and the Rushan Sect can give each disciple something to identify them. If someone dies inside, the corresponding formation set up outside will be alerted.
This method is quite energy-consuming to use and is only available to very important disciples.
Inside the grand formation lies a mountain range stretching for dozens of miles, containing not only ferocious birds and beasts, but also miasma-filled swamps and waterfall cliffs. The location where the sacred artifact is buried is random; it's first come, first served, and there's no guarantee that anyone will emerge from the formation unscathed.
After those people came in, they hurried forward, while Xiang Wan and Tu Hongye walked along the cliffs and sparsely populated areas.
What they were going to do wasn't to directly dig up the sacred artifacts, but rather to conceal themselves and set traps to ambush the target. With fewer people, this was the most efficient method.
However, despite good intentions, plans can never keep up with changes. Before even reaching the mountainside, trouble arose.
