"Is this a formation?!"
"Which fellow cultivator is there?"
The Zhao Clan Ancestor said, "We are from Great Liang's Spirit-Taming Zhao Household."
Before his words had faded,
arrows flew out, piercing the heads of first-tier demon beasts with unerring precision.
Within a dozen breaths,
all the first-tier demon beasts were dead.
"The Xu Household of Great Wei. Fellow cultivators of the Zhao Clan, how have you been?"
Xu Chuan, Xu Mingwei, and Xu Mingshu appeared. "Let us lend you a hand."
The Zhao Clan Ancestor could hardly ask why they were here. He immediately said, "Then many thanks to you, fellow cultivators of the Xu Household."
With Xu Chuan and the other two joining the battle, the pressure on the Zhao Clan cultivators immediately eased.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, several early second-tier demon beasts were slain.
An incense stick later,
everyone surrounded the second-tier peak demon beast and spent more than an hour killing it.
The Zhao Clan cultivators all breathed sighs of relief. The injured immediately took out Hundred-Grass Pills to treat their wounds, or True Essence Condensation Pills to replenish their depleted magic power.
After studying the curtain of light overhead for a while, the Zhao Clan Ancestor said in surprise, "These seem to be upper-grade second-tier Formation Flags."
"Indeed," Xu Chuan replied. "This is a sealing and trapping formation. Almost none of the commotion within it can be detected outside.
Without it, cultivators of our strength could never have made it this far."
The Zhao Clan Ancestor glanced over them and saw that they were at the fourth and first layers of Foundation Establishment.
"The formation is one thing, but your combat strength seems greater than your cultivation suggests." The Zhao Clan Ancestor had also heard about the Xu Household.
