The Nine Earth Profound Yin Spirit-Gathering Formation could gather Profound Yin Qi. Besides that, with a few slight changes within it, it could also become an immensely lethal Magic Array. Whoever had laid out this Nine Earth Profound Yin Spirit-Gathering Formation apparently did not want ordinary people entering it. Only after Han Shuo truly stepped inside did he discover that even its center was filled with deadly dangers at every turn.
The area where Han Shuo, Donna, and the others stood was a blind spot in the formation that could serve as a refuge. However, anyone unfamiliar with the layout of the Nine Earth Profound Yin Spirit-Gathering Formation could never have discovered this blind spot, much less entered it. Every step Han Shuo had taken earlier had been carefully chosen. Only after pacing back and forth many times had he managed to reach this spot.
The abrupt disappearance of Han Shuo's group startled Alder and his three companions. They stared in the direction where the others had vanished, not daring to venture another step forward.
Their earlier ordeal had taught them how terrifying this place truly was. All four Lower Gods had died, and they themselves had struggled constantly between life and death before finally making it this far. This made them realize that every step could bring even greater danger. The moment Han Shuo's party of four disappeared, they naturally assumed disaster had struck them.
"Brian, they really can't see us! How does that work?" Livy exclaimed softly, delighted and surprised.
Donna and the others also stared at Han Shuo in confusion, their eyes full of incomprehension.
"There are patterns here, too. If you don't pay attention to your surroundings, naturally you won't discover the patterns all around you!" Han Shuo replied offhandedly, his eyes fixed on Alder's group.
