Chapter 322: Chapter 291: Raid_1

“Damn it! Another formation!”

Xu Mu was so aggravated that he almost spat blood.

He didn’t expect that despite his arduous efforts, he was still a step too late. The exit was right in front of him, yet he failed to escape from it.

“All because of you, you wretch!”

Xu Mu hurled abuses at the Seventh Princess, who was so ruffled that she nearly attacked him again, but she restrained herself eventually.

Right now, being trapped in the formation, quarrelling with Xu Mu was pointless.

The pair found themselves amidst a space filled with stars – profound, empty, with their sense of direction completely blurred. Only the endless stars flickered faintly.

Without utterance, one knew this was a formation because with their cultivation base, it was impossible for them to reach such a deep starry sky.

In search of a solution, Xu Mu continued to use the secret techniques of the Corpse Puppet Skill. In his consciousness, light spots began to appear, symbolizing the Corpse Puppets used to set up the formation.

Xu Mu felt a surge of joy.

If he could sense the Corpse Puppets forming the formation, it wasn’t a difficult task to escape.

However, simultaneous to sensing the Corpse Puppets, Xu Mu also felt a powerful sense, situated at the center of the formation.

It was the Black YuanYing!

Additionally, several pulsations were extremely violent, which unsurprisingly, should be the other trapped princes.

“It’s not difficult for me to break the formation, but with the Black YuanYing sitting in the center, I’m afraid he could sense any slight movement of mine. If he takes action himself, I’ll have no place to flee!”

When the previous formation was broken, the Black YuanYing was hunting other cultivators, probably did not notice him, which allowed him to escape easily.

Now, his opponent was keeping a constant watch on the formation, fleeing was not that simple anymore.

“I can only hope that the other people will cause some chaos, giving me the opportunity to leave the formation first!”

Only by leaving the formation did he stand a chance to confront his opponent. Being in the formation was too much of a disadvantage.

These princes and princesses had trump cards left by the Imperial family, though the current formation was powerful, breaking it was not impossible.

However, what Xu Mu did not expect was that not only him, but the others were thinking the same.

He was afraid of exposure, being monitored by the Black YuanYing, while others were afraid of using up their trump cards. If they couldn’t break the formation, they’d be like a sitting duck.

As a result, everyone was waiting for someone else to act first.

Seeing the situation in the formation, the Black YuanYing laughed evilly.

He didn’t launch an attack on the crowd through the formation. Instead, he took the opportunity to quickly dispose of the followers of the princes and princesses, storing up his strength to the maximum.

The reason why he activated the formation was because everyone had sensed something unusual and wanted to depart. In order to stop them from fleeing, he had to hastily activate the formation, even though his power had not reached its peak.

While the formation was strong, its consumption was also massive, so he only activated it at this moment.

Maintaining the formation was quite challenging for him, but luckily, everyone was isolated by the formation and were all waiting for others to take the first step, giving him the opportunity to leisurely eliminate all the followers.

The only one who could possibly detect this was probably Xu Mu.

Using the Corpse Puppet Secret Skill, he sensed that the strength of the Black YuanYing was rapidly increasing, and a large number of energies were disappearing, but he was powerless to act.
