Chen Mo set up an array here to conceal his aura. He planned to take some things out of the Universe Bead and prepare some backup measures.
He was alone now, but he had heard the Strange Beasts roaring earlier and could tell there were definitely quite a few of them. So, he wanted to find some henchmen from inside the Universe Bead. If enemies came, he could hide in the shadows and use the henchmen he found to attack them.
That way, he could protect himself, avoid danger, and continue being Old Sixth.
As for what if the henchmen he found could not beat the enemy? Mix it cold, mix it dry, stir-fry it—if they could not win, why not run? Chen Mo was not stubborn. If the enemy was powerful, he would absolutely flee without a second word.
Of course, he would definitely take Ouyang Ruo Xi with him when he ran.
As True Essence surged, all 108 Formation Bases lit up in an instant before dropping around him. The entire array activated, protecting him and confining all his aura within it. Not the slightest trace of it leaked out.
