Chapter 368: Chapter 337: Broken Space Secret_1

“How did you get out?”

Lu Jingkong, who was about to attack the Formation from the outside, was stunned to see Xu Mu breaking through the Formation and escaping.

The Blood River Formation, laid out by the Blood Demon Ancestor according to his own Martial Method, was powerfully formidable and even she would find it difficult to escape from it if she was completely trapped.

Although the area they were in wasn’t the center of the Formation, under the stimulation of the Blood Demon Ancestor’s vigor and energy, its power was nearly as strong as the center’s.

In such a situation, even she wasn’t confident to break away for a second time. How on earth did Xu Mu manage to break through the Formation while being tangled with two Nascent Souls at the same stage?

“Does Senior want me to stay put instead!” Xu Mu laughed, but he also sighed a sigh of relief inwardly. He didn’t expect the Blood Demon Ancestor’s Formation to be so powerful, he was almost trapped, and at that point, even if he was fully prepared, escape would be unlikely.

“Of course not! What’s that treasure you’re holding?”

Lu Jingkong’s gaze was immediately drawn to the Sky-splitting Halberd in Xu Mu’s hand.

“Just an ancient treasure!”

Xu Mu quickly put it away, speaking indifferently.

“Ancient treasure?”

Lu Jingkong’s eyes revealed a trace of doubt, but she did not probe further.

“Senior, let’s leave this place first,” Xu Mu suggested.

“Alright!”

Lu Jingkong nodded in agreement.

The two quickly turned into two rays of Escape Light and swiftly flew away. Shortly after, the Formation ceased to operate, and the three Blood Demon Ancestors flew out from inside.

“What should we do next? If we let these two escape, I’m afraid we’ll never have peace again!” Fire Demon Ancestor voiced his concern.

Him being weaker than those two, if they were to launch a surprise attack on him, he might fall into their hands.

“Having acted, there’s no point in regretting it now. Wasn’t it you who suggested this in the first place?” Blood Demon Ancestor grimly retorted.

“I, I…”

Fire Demon Ancestor was left speechless, unsure of what else to say.

Although it was indeed his idea to act, he hadn’t expected Xu Mu to be so tough to deal with, and they had even made provision for the possible appearance of Lu Jingkong.

After all, throughout the entire Outer Sea, only Lu Jingkong had the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill. Now that Xu Mu suddenly revealed it, it was hard for them not to suspect.

“No need to say more. Despite their strong capabilities, as long as you are cautious and stay within the Formation, they can do nothing to you,” the Blood Demon Ancestor advised.

“What if they attack my disciples?” Fire Demon Ancestor asked.

“Just let them. To us, all those disciples represent is high-quality material!”

After saying this, the Blood Demon Ancestor turned and flew back into the city. The commotion was too big; he had to appease his subordinates.

“I guess there’s no other option. Damn it!” The Fire Demon Ancestor cursed helplessly.

The forces of the Outer Sea differed from those of the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. Here, under the pressure from both sides, they lived in constant fear of dissolution. Under such circumstances, no one really bothered to develop their forces. Their disciples were just expendable pawns. This was true not only for practitioners of Demonic Dao, but also for cultivators of the Immortal Dao.

Not long after Lu Jingkong disappeared, his forces quickly crumbled, for similar reasons.

Of course, there was also the fact that they had added fuel to the fire, even directly taking action.

During the time Lu Jingkong was present, the two sides couldn’t stand each other. Naturally, they wouldn’t hesitate to kick him while he was down now that he was gone.

“Five Poisons! Has that Sea Race fellow died yet?”

Fire Demon Ancestor inquired of the remaining green-robed cultivator.

They had poisoned the Sea Race fellow before the trade. No matter whether the trade succeeded or failed, Xu Mu would not get off scot-free. Depending on the capability of the green-robed cultivator, they could track him and leave him with nowhere to hide.

“I’ve lost sensation!”
