Zhu Jinglong and Xin Yu frowned slightly, keenly sensing something amiss.
Blood Marrow True Lord Yun Xi had run rampant these past few years, killing many Mirror Moon Sect cultivators.
The sect had used a Nascent Soul Nurturing Pill as bait precisely because it knew there were problems among Yunlong Market's middle and upper ranks.
To lure the snake from its hole and draw out Blood Marrow True Lord, the sect had even gone along with the traitors, allowing them to pass on intelligence and invite him into the trap.
Yet now, facing the two of them, Yun Xi showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he grew even more brazen. This meant something had gone wrong with the sect's plan.
Had a traitor among the sect's higher-ups leaked the secret?
"This is bad."
Xin Yu's gaze changed, and her divine sense probed the bottom of the Blood-Weeping River.
There lay the fourth-tier profound formation she and Senior Brother Zhu had set up together: the Mirror-Returning Moonfrost Demon-Subduing Grand Formation.
Yun Xi was a nascent soul middle stage True Lord. To reliably suppress and kill a demonic cultivator of his caliber required three True Lords of the same stage working together.
Unfortunately, the sect was short on True Lord fighting strength and could only send her and Senior Brother Zhu. They therefore needed to set up a formation beforehand to make killing Yun Xi a sure thing.
But the instant Xin Yu activated the formation, she discovered that the Mirror-Returning Moonfrost Demon-Subduing Grand Formation gave no response at all. Her expression shifted slightly. This was a fourth-tier middle-grade formation disk bestowed by the sect specifically to suppress and kill Yun Xi. Its power was formidable, and only a Nascent Soul True Lord could preside over it.
