312: Chapter 312: Cloud Mist Formation!
In the depths of Yuntai Mountain.
Xie Lao was watching Heavenly Master Xu with eager eyes.
However, at that moment, Heavenly Master Xu’s eyes suddenly opened wide.
“Primordial Spirit!!!”
He spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face quickly emanating an aura of death.
This aura of death soon spread throughout his entire body.
“Heavenly Master Xu, what’s wrong with you?”
he has come after me…
After saying this, Heavenly Master Xu bled from every orifice and fell to the ground.
Xie Lao’s face was blank.
He hurried over to check and found that Heavenly Master Xu had completely stopped breathing.
Clearly, Heavenly Master Xu’s attempt to kill from afar had failed.
As for how he died, one could easily guess that it was definitely Zhou Yu’s doing.
There was both hatred and shock in Xie Lao’s eyes.
He thought he had already overestimated Zhou Yu, but now it seemed he had still underestimated him.
At this moment, Xie Lao suddenly remembered the last words Heavenly Master Xu said before he died.
He abruptly stood up and looked outside the mountain, his eyes flashing coldly.
“Since you have come seeking death yourself, I shall oblige you.”
Xie Lao strode outside.
In the depths of Yuntai Mountain.
Zhou Yu moved swiftly across ridges and cliffs, arriving in a valley shrouded in mist.
The aura of Divine Sense entered the valley and then disappeared.
Zhou Yu surveyed his surroundings and murmured to himself:
“It seems this is the place.”
The environment here almost completely matched what Gao Sheng had described before.
If he could break the Formation, he would be able to find Xie Lao.
Without a second thought, Zhou Yu stepped directly into the Formation.
As Zhou Yu entered the Formation, in Xie Lao’s room, there were four people in front of him.
One of them wore a wide Daoist robe, giving off quite an immortal aura.
He was Master Yu, Xie Lao’s Formation master.
The Cloud Mist Formation in the valley was his handiwork.
Master Yu suddenly spoke.
“Zhou Yu has entered the Formation.”
Xie Lao’s spirits lifted.
“Master Yu, this kid is formidable, even Heavenly Master Xu couldn’t match him.
Is your Cloud Mist Formation guaranteed to trap him?”
Master Yu’s face bore a look of pride.
“If it were a fair fight, I might not be his opponent, but when it comes to Formations, I could be his ancestor.”
“This Cloud Mist Formation is my signature skill built over many years.
This Formation does more than just confuse direction; once I activate its full power, it can also disturb one’s mind and suppress True Qi.”
“Conservatively speaking, I could reduce his True Qi to the level of Lesser Innate.”
Xie Lao, hearing this, was overjoyed.
“That would be best.”
“However, we must still not be careless.”
He turned to the other three people.
“Master Yu has already dug this kid’s grave.
Now, I ask the three of you to strike in the Formation and kill him.
We must not allow him any chance to break the Formation.”
“Rest assured, Xie Lao, even without a Formation, the three of us can kill him—let alone with the aid of the Formation.”
“This kid is as good as dead.”
The speaker was a middle-aged man wielding a long sword.
This man was named Han Chutian.
He was the uncle of Han Tang, the leader of Group Three of the Martial Cabinet.
Xie Lao was able to escape sanctions from the Martial Cabinet and even destroy bodies and evidence due to Han Chutian’s ability to get internal information from Han Tang.
At this moment, Han Chutian was brimming with murderous intent.
“Zhou Yu killed my nephew, and I’ve been wanting to kill him to avenge my nephew.
Today, I will show no mercy.”
The other two were also Great Innate Peak experts whom Xie Lao had recruited with a heavy bounty.
“Rest assured, Xie Lao, no matter how strong he is, today he must die.”
Xie Lao was delighted.
Just then, Master Yu spoke:
“Oh, this kid is actually able to resist the mental disturbances of my Cloud Mist Formation; he is looking for the Formation nexus.”
“Master Yu, is the nexus safe?
He won’t be able to find it, will he?”
Master Yu stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
“He won’t find it in his lifetime.”
“Because the nexus is myself.”
Hearing this, Xie Lao immediately relaxed.
“The three of you, do not delay.
Please enter the Formation now and kill Zhou Yu.”
Han Chutian and the others immediately stood up and entered the Formation.
Inside the Cloud Mist Formation.
Zhou Yu secretly activated his Yin Primordial Spirit to search for the nexus.
With the enhancement of the Yin Primordial Spirit, the Cloud Mist Formation seemed virtually non-existent to him, but after a complete search, he could not find the nexus.
“Could it be that the nexus is not within the Formation?”
Just then, a mocking laugh came through.
“Zhou Yu, you dared to enter my Cloud Mist Formation alone, you must have prepared to die.
Now, let me show you the true power of my Cloud Mist Formation.”
The Cloud Mist Formation suddenly surged like a storm, and a powerful pressure descended.
Zhou Yu immediately felt his True Qi being suppressed.
“Interesting, he knows how to use the terrain of the entire Yuntai Mountain to set up the Formation, suppressing the power of those within the Formation.”
This person had quite some skill in forming strategies.
At the same time, a cold sneer crossed Zhou Yu’s eyes.
The person who set up the Formation wouldn’t have exposed himself, but by speaking, Zhou Yu immediately knew that the person himself was the nexus for the Formation.
Zhou Yu immediately used the Exploring Spirit Technique and pursued the trace.
Three sounds of whooshing air came at once, and simultaneously, three killing intents locked onto Zhou Yu.
