This formation did more than block the advance of those from the Jianghu; it could also withstand their attacks.
Huang Xiao had discovered this while examining the formation earlier, which was why he had called Mu Fucheng and the other two over.
He had originally thought that once he broke through the formation, those from the Jianghu would probably scramble toward the cultivation grounds, throwing the place into chaos. Under those circumstances, although Mu Fucheng and the other two would face some danger, they should still have a good chance of protecting themselves.
This was one of the several imperfect plans he had thought of.
But that plan was clearly not as safe as his current one.
The failure of those people's attacks this time had already proved that Huang Xiao's plan had succeeded.
Although he still could not completely break through the Grand Formation, all four of them had entered it, separating themselves from those outside. Those people could no longer threaten him.
"You little bastard, you dared to trick us!" Wang Mengjiao roared.
The others cursed loudly as well.
"If I hadn't taken precautions against you, the four of us would probably already be dead, wouldn't we? If I really broke through the formation, wouldn't I just be sewing wedding clothes for you to wear?" Huang Xiao scoffed. "Do you think that's possible? If we're talking about trickery, we're all much the same. If you hadn't attacked us, I really would have been willing to share the benefits of breaking through the formation with you. But now? You'll have to rely on yourselves."
Huang Xiao had deliberately created that loud boom earlier. He knew these people's nerves were stretched taut, and even the slightest disturbance could greatly agitate them.
Especially with a sound like that coming from within
