"No, no, the formation here was only discovered a couple of days ago, we didn't wait long." Chen Zhouxing waved his hand dismissively.
Everyone behaved as usual, as if they were still in high spirits like they were during that sect competition.
If it weren't for the increased composure in their expressions, it would be hard to tell that they had already experienced life and death.
She strode up to the group, introduced Qi Yan and Qing Shu to them, and then asked, "Were the five of us the only ones who managed to break the formation this time?"
I had actually expected this all along, but I just wanted to confirm it.
Unexpectedly, Mei Mei denied it, saying, "No, there are the other three as well."
Following the direction Mei Mei pointed, Chen Sangruo then saw that there were three more people hiding behind the stone next to them.
"Why is it you three?" She looked at Feng Heyun, Wen Xuan, and Luo Chu, who slowly walked out, her tone cold.
These three people were the subjects of Zhu Huaqiao and Chen Zhouxing's earlier discussion.
Wen Xuan stared intently at her, his fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of his clothes, his face filled with unease.
The same applies to the other two.
Once they stood in front of her, Luo Chu hurriedly began to explain.
"We heard that Luo Nanchuan had discovered a new formation, and guessed that you might not have enough manpower, so we rushed over immediately."
The group from Ninghua Sect went to another formation. The formations are now so dangerous, and there are only five of them. Luo Chu and the others are really worried that something might happen to Shen Sangri.
That's why I risked dying in the formation to join.
They came without Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen's knowledge, knowing full well that if the two of them found out, they would definitely cause trouble again.
Only the three of them understood that Shen Sangri could never change her mind.
Fortunately, the two of them were not in the mood to care about them, so they were able to sneak out.
Meeting Shen Sangri's amused yet mocking gaze, and knowing the meaning in her eyes, Luo Chu clenched her fists.
His voice was extremely strained as he said, "We really won't do anything to hurt our own people again, and we'll really focus all our efforts on breaking the formation."
She remained silent and unmoved.
“Xiao Ruo, we have already sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao. If any evil thoughts arise in our minds, we will be punished by the Heavenly Dao. If you don’t believe me, we will swear an oath again.” Wen Xuan said, and immediately swore another oath.
Luo Chu and Feng Heyun did the same.
He swore another oath in front of her, then forced a smile and continued, "Xiao Ruo, you should believe us this time, right?"
“This trip is extremely dangerous. We really can’t bear to see you enter the barrier with only four other people. We are very worried about your safety.”
Wen Xuan frowned and looked at her with pleading eyes.
Shen Sanruo inexplicably felt as if he was about to come over and hug her legs, bursting into tears.
“Without the Ninghua Sect members here this time, even if we wanted to make a move, we wouldn’t have a target. You can rest assured now.” Feng Heyun’s voice was muffled.
They were willing to harm themselves to prove that they had no ulterior motives and that what they said was indeed reasonable.
"They say nice things, that they're better to you than we are, but now you're the one breaking this formation yourself, while they've teamed up and gone to another formation."
He turned his head to the side, muttering sarcastic remarks under his breath, a sense of pent-up anger simmering inside him.
Luo Chu tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Senior Brother, please say less."
They all know how close Shen Sangruo is to the people of Ninghua Sect, yet Feng Heyun still mocks them like this.
They were not allowed to participate in breaking the formation in the first place, and if they continued to talk about it, Shen Sangruo would be even less likely to agree.
In fact, if the Ninghua Sect group hadn't gone to another formation, they wouldn't have had the chance to break the formation with her.
This time, they considered it a stolen opportunity to fight alongside her.
"With three more of us, we'll have more strength and be safer. Even if they use us as cannon fodder, it's fine." Luo Chu was as humble as could be now.
"Moreover, I am an array cultivator, and I can be of great help in breaking arrays."
Luo Chu wanted to say something, but Shen Sangruo raised her hand to interrupt him: "That's enough, let's prepare to enter the barrier."
"Shut up, stop chattering." Qi Yan crossed his arms, looking impatient.
Qing Shu had heard of the people from the Flying Cloud Sect, but the few she saw now were relatively normal after they had come to their senses, so she didn't say anything.
If Shen Sang knew that they wouldn't have any more wicked thoughts, just like Feng Heyun said, they had no grudges against Mei Mei and the others, and had no motive to commit a crime.
Five people were indeed too few, so bringing in these three was a last resort.
If they can break the formation faster, that would be a great achievement for them.
Overjoyed, Luo Chu and the other two hurriedly followed behind her, heading towards the barrier.
The team that will break the last formation has finally been selected: an eight-person team from six different sects.
An hour later, they entered the barrier.
Luo Nanchuan's formation was on a relatively flat boulder covered with dark green moss.
The boulder is surrounded by towering mountains with sharp peaks and steep cliffs, resembling swords stuck upside down.
It's suffocating and oppressive to look at.
Upon entering the barrier, everyone's first reaction was that it was damp and cold.
A bone-chilling cold air rushed towards you, making you feel as if all the blood in your body had frozen, sending chills down your spine.
This was the first time Shen Sanruo had encountered such an obvious array of yin and evil energy, as if this entire area had been completely infiltrated by evil cultivators.
One glance is enough to tell that this land is related to evil cultivators.
"This thing feels even more sinister than a mass grave," Feng Heyun said, rubbing his arm.
The crowd's feet sank into the damp moss, leaving a ring of water around their feet, and the air was filled with moisture.
Surrounded by mountains, the rainwater gathers here, making the humidity exceptionally high.
My body felt sticky and uncomfortable, as if I had been licked by some unknown creature.
This formation has neither a secret realm nor an illusion; it is the same as the formation of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits, simply the original scene of the place where the formation was set up.
But apart from the slightly uneven stones underfoot and the grass or low shrubs growing between the rocks, there was nothing else.
One can see the entire scene inside the barrier at a glance, with almost nothing obstructing the view.
Those evil cultivators always adapted their formations to the local conditions, and the different environments and scenes served as a breakthrough for them to break the formations.
However, the environment where this formation is located is bare and the foundation is rudimentary, so there seems to be nothing to do with it.
This left them unsure of where to begin.
Luo Chu was exceptionally enthusiastic, "I'll try to find the location of the array's core!"
