Suspicious Formation!
"The Formation Eye we just destroyed was very likely a suspicious formation set up by the Tianshui Sect!"
Ma Qiuming said with a gloomy expression.
"A suspicious formation?" Upon hearing those words, the expressions of the other Heaven and Earth Gate martial artists also became extremely ugly.
A suspicious formation was, in other words, a fake formation.
In the ancient martial world, some Great Mystic Art Users would build tombs for themselves after they died.
However, many people knew that these Great Mystic Art Users would surely place everything they had obtained in their lifetimes, along with their treasures, inside their tombs.
Martial artists of later generations would inevitably come to plunder them.
Thus, these Great Mystic Art Users would often build some "suspicious graves" around their tombs, laying deadly mechanisms and traps inside them to protect the safety of their true tombs.

Moreover, they concerned the lives and fortunes of their owners. Therefore, when constructing these formations, Formation Daoists would deliberately arrange some suspicious formations to confuse people and throw them off the scent.
