Lu Feng swept his gaze over the approaching figures, a chill flashing through his eyes.
Fen Long and Zi Xiao of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect;
Qian Xiao of the Illusory Willow Sect;
Jue Ming and Ji Sheng of the Five Emperors Sect.
Tang Yuan spoke in concern, "Be careful. Something is off about them!"
Lu Feng nodded. The instant these people had appeared, he had noticed the Ghost Conchs attached to the backs of their heads.
Lu Feng had already learned a little about Ghost Conchs from the books in the formation area. One formation had made use of this sort of special entity. Judging by the traits of the people before him, they had clearly been controlled by the lingering souls within the Ghost Conchs.
However, lacking the necessary medium, those remnants could only control them. They could not completely take possession of them as in body snatching, nor could they possess self-awareness.
"I'll handle these few! You go find Ruo Shui and the others."
After signaling to the group, Lu Feng charged straight at the five attackers.
Against Fen Long, Zi Xiao, and the others in their prime and fully conscious states, Lu Feng did not have enough confidence to fight five against one. But in their current walking-corpse state, he could manage it.
Even if he could not kill them, holding them off for a while would not be a problem.
Hearing this, Tang Yuan and Ye Fan exchanged a brief glance before immediately chasing after Zhu Yizhong in the direction he had left.
Fourth Uncle and Miao Qiuyun followed closely behind. It was not entirely because they obeyed Lu Feng's words, but because they understood that, as formation masters, facing the sudden attack of five Martial Masters would only make them burdens if they remained.
