The Array Masters accompanying the army were not idle either; layers upon layers of Array Spirit Light lit up, constantly covering the two military formations.
"This is the Ghost Army of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, isn't it? Quite an eye-opener..." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovelHub(.)net
The Wind Calming Monk looked at the two armies before him, now transformed into spirits, and couldn't help but exclaim.
The Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty's army is numerous, capable of deploying the appropriate type no matter the situation; and now, Bu Haosi has brought out what is known as the "Ghost Army."
Born for combat in dense forests or other complex terrains, they always manage to kill their opponents in baffling ways.
"It's troubling for the two seniors to hold down the formations."
Hearing the Wind Calming Monk's praises, Bu Haosi slightly smiled, but he did not show pride.
Upon hearing this, the Wind Calming Monk and the Devouring Demon King each chose a military formation and concealed themselves within as rear guard cultivators, ready to counteract any high-level cultivators from the opposing side.
And as Bu Haosi discovered the opponent's location, Ling Hanfei's expression darkened as he looked at the shattered array in his hands, which had turned into dissipating Spiritual Power.
"It seems that the forces of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty are indeed ambushing somewhere ahead!"
Ling Hanfei, with a grave expression, looked up at the dense forest ahead, his gaze seemingly penetrating everything.
The fierce beast he had sent to scout the path had not gone far before it stepped on an extremely well-hidden sensing array.
Ling Hanfei immediately recognized that this device was arranged by the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, and it was clear who was waiting ahead!
"What should we do next?"
Bai Sheng looked on unperturbed, casting a sidelong glance at Ling Hanfei.
Knowing that the opponent was ahead, was this guy going to take a risk or decide to cautiously retreat first?
Ling Hanfei's next decision would also affect Bai Sheng's subsequent actions, especially since his destination was still ahead.
Ling Hanfei's expression fluctuated, clearly struggling to make a decision. The attitude from above regarding this mission was also quite elusive.
If they genuinely wanted them to surprise and break through here, and he chose to flee without even seeing the opponents, it would be a disgrace for the Abyss.
But if the upper echelons only intended for him to test the waters, and it's fine whether it succeeds or not, then his move to minimize losses upon sensing danger would naturally be beyond reproach.
The key lies in how the upper echelons view this matter...
"Fellow Bai, what do you think?"
Being cautious also implies a lack of decisiveness. Ling Hanfei, unable to decide after much consideration, opted to ask Bai Sheng for his opinion, so they could share any responsibility.
"If you're asking me, I think we should probe a bit further ahead before making a decision."
Ling Hanfei's action was not unexpected to Bai Sheng, knowing his character.
Since he asked for his opinion, he naturally chose the option more beneficial for himself.
If they did not encounter the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, how would he take the opportunity to escape amidst the chaos and search for the Secret Realm?
He didn't even know where the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty was hiding; venturing alone into the forest would be too risky.
"Mm, my views are somewhat similar to Fellow Bai."
Ling Hanfei nodded, relieved, genuinely worried that Bai Sheng might kick the decision back to him.
"Then let's take it one step at a time."
