The instant Xia Jue and his party stepped through the barrier into the inner forest, they discovered a layer of mist rising around them.
The farther they went, the thicker the mist grew, until they could barely make out one another's faces.
Suddenly, the mark on Su Jiu's face began to grow faintly hot.
Su Jiu's gaze sharpened. She summoned the Frost-Cold Purple Ultimate, spun around, and slashed.
A "person" who had been preparing to ambush Su Jiu promptly turned into a cloud of black smoke and dispersed.
This black smoke was not demonic qi, but resentful qi. It looked more like the work of a Heretical Cultivator.
Su Jiu's gaze focused slightly. After cutting apart that cloud of black smoke, she discovered that everyone around her had vanished.
The corner of her mouth curled up. What was there left to misunderstand?
So this was where the first trap had been waiting for them.
Su Jiu took a couple of steps around the area, then suddenly stopped, turned, and delivered two more slashes. The "people" that had appeared from who knew where were cut down once again.
Su Jiu counted on her fingers and spread out her divine sense. Only after roughly a quarter of an hour did she slowly open her eyes.
She had to admit that whoever had inscribed this formation had some talent for formation arts. The Mist Formation she was currently inside also contained a Twin Formation, though this Twin Formation had been modified.
Within the area she could see, Su Jiu began writing and drawing on the ground with a branch.
Had it been an ordinary Twin Formation, she could have located its formation eyes directly, but that would not work with the one before her. She needed to recalculate the positions of its formation
