As a streak of spiritual light shot from the array disc in Song Qingming's hand, the scene before the Giant Spirit Sect cultivators abruptly changed. Though they had just been in a dense forest, they suddenly discovered that the surrounding trees were rapidly fading away, while the sky gradually darkened.
"Not good, Sect Leader Senior Brother! There's an ambush here—a formation!"
At Meng Dongyang's warning, the Giant Spirit Sect cultivators immediately sensed that something was amiss around them, and looks of shock appeared on their faces.
When they had first charged onto the island, the Giant Spirit Sect cultivators had been wholly focused on pursuing Song Qingming's Corpse Puppet, Silver Armor, and had not noticed anything unusual around the forest.
Only after Song Qingming took out the array disc and activated the formation did they realize that they had long since fallen into the other party's ambush formation, leaving them utterly stunned.
"Junior Brother Zhang, fighting him here puts us at a disadvantage. Find a way to break out first!"
Seeing that his side had carelessly fallen into Song Qingming's trap, Sect Leader True Person Zi Yue immediately made a decisive call. Controlling his magic treasure, he led everyone toward the sky to one side, intending to force their way out of the grand formation.
Yet just as they reached the middle of their escape, a crimson flame suddenly burst from the empty sky and hurtled straight toward them. In the blink of an eye, it blocked them in place.
With their path blocked by the blazing flames before them, True Person Zi Yue and Meng Yangdong's faces changed at once. They hurriedly summoned their respective defensive magic treasures before them.
They then immediately turned their escape lights, preparing to circle around the barrier of flames from the other side.
