There's something strange about this place, but what exactly it is... Black Owl felt the word was very familiar, so familiar that it seemed he could blurt it out, yet he just couldn't say it.
It wasn't until he heard Ji Fengyao murmur in surprise, "Formation," that Hei Xiao realized what was happening.
"Formation?"
Ji Fengming, Wu Shang, and Wu Zhong were all completely bewildered.
“Since cultivators exist in this world, there must also be some things in the cultivation world.” Ji Fengyao rubbed her forehead, carefully looked around, and was very annoyed with herself: “I have been away from the cultivation world for too long and have been too careless.”
Hei Xiao had a vague feeling that he understood what Ji Fengyao was saying, and couldn't help but want to know more.
He had a premonition that perhaps when he knew enough, the vague images in his mind would connect together.
Then he will know who he really is, and what kind of connection and fate he has with Ji Fengming or the Ji family.
"Is the formation very powerful?" Black Owl asked cautiously.
“The formation borrows the power of heaven and earth, and the method borrows the spirit of all things. The power of the formation is the power of heaven and earth and all things. Isn’t that amazing?” Ji Fengyao said while continuing to carefully look around.
"According to what you're saying, sister, the formation is quite powerful, but I don't seem to feel anything right now." Ji Fengming scratched his head, unable to see anything. "This is just an empty courtyard. Sister, are you mistaken? Should I go and look around?"
With that, Ji Fengming took a step to leave.
Black Owl quickly grabbed him with one hand and turned to Wu Zhong, saying, "Wu Zhong, try to recall those scattered people."
Wu Zhong nodded and took out a black bone whistle from his storage ring and blew it.
The bone whistle made a sharp sound, like the chirping of a cicada.
The sound that Wu Zhong produced using his internal force could be heard for at least five miles.
But the whistle sank into the night, like a stone sinking into the sea.
They waited for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but no one returned.
Ji Fengming then believed him: "Sister, it seems you were right, we really have fallen into some kind of formation."
"Your Highness, are they in any danger?" Wu Zhong was very worried about his subordinates.
These bodyguards are all elites who have been carefully trained with countless efforts.
Moreover, they had been together for many years and were brothers who had gone through thick and thin together.
"Formations are divided into illusion formations and killing formations. A simple illusion formation will only trap people in an illusion. If they can escape in time without worrying about food or drink, they will not be in mortal danger." Ji Fengyao's expression was extremely serious. "But a killing formation, even a first-grade spirit-level killing formation, is enough to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the cultivation world, a first-grade spirit-level formation is the most basic formation."
"The Gu family probably doesn't have such a powerful formation. If they did, wouldn't they have become emperors themselves long ago? Why would they be hiding behind an unpopular prince, sneaking around like this?" Ji Fengming comforted everyone in a self-consoling way, then slumped his arms and said, "Look, we've been in here for so long, and nothing's happened..."
Before Ji Fengming could finish speaking, the space behind him suddenly trembled slightly.
A blood-stained sword appeared out of nowhere and pierced his back.
Black Owl and Ji Fengyao exclaimed in surprise at the same time:
"careful!"
"Brother, watch out!"
Ji Fengming felt a shiver run down his spine and instinctively lunged forward, leaping into the arms that Hei Xiao had just reached out to him.
He turned around, only to see a bloodstained sword tip disappearing eerily into the dark night sky. That space rapidly returned to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if nothing had ever happened.
