As this shout fell, not only Xiao Yan, but even Mu Han, who was currently looking ashen-faced, couldn't help but feel a little surprised. In this Ancient Wilderness City, who else would speak up for him?
In the past Mu Han, who was high and mighty, had often used his status to harm the people in the Ancient Wilderness City. However, due to the latter's strength, everyone just swallowed their anger.
Therefore, while he has been admired by others over the years, he has also secretly sown the seeds of hatred for many people.
Seeing Mu Han about to die at Xiao Yan's hands, many people present were secretly delighted. With Mu Han dead, they would suffer less oppression, which was naturally what they wanted to see.
If that's the case, then who is the person speaking up to stop this now?
At this moment, among everyone present, aside from Elder Xuan, only Xiao Yan knew that the owner of this voice was none other than—
Luo Jin
With his eyes narrowed, Xiao Yan was full of doubt. Then, he turned around and kicked Mu Han hard in the chest. As blood spurted out again, Mu Han, Xiao Yan face flushed, was kicked backward and sent flying.
Forcibly stopping himself, Mu Han raised his head with a ferocious expression, his gaze piercing Xiao Yan.
"Stay there and don't move, or I'll kill you even if he tries to stop me!"
The moment Mu Han's sinister gaze met Xiao Yan's, the latter's cold and deep voice immediately followed.
At the same time, the Northern King and Xiao Jin also turned to Mu Han, their icy killing intent exerting even more pressure on Mu Han.
Hearing Xiao Yan's cold words, Mu Han felt even colder. Now, seeing the Northern King and Xiao Jin surrounding him again, he could only cough twice helplessly, keeping a watchful eye on Xiao Yan and his group. Standing in the void, he did not make any move.
Seeing Mu Han's appearance, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the dark light barrier. He could sense that Luo Jin was there, but because of the light barrier, he did not forcibly intervene.
With a thought, the light barrier in front of Luo Jin suddenly expanded, creating an entrance just large enough for one person to pass through. Luo Jin's gaze swept over the black energy barrier, a strange light swirling deep within his pupils.
With his knowledge, he naturally knew that the black energy shield must be formed by the Power of the Great Dao.
However, for the time being, he still cannot distinguish which Great Dao this is. After all, there are quite a few Great Dao in the world that are black, and he cannot identify which Great Dao this is based on color alone.
However, judging from the profound aura emanating from the light barrier alone, Luo Jin already had some guesses in his heart.
With a large stride, Luo Jin entered the area covered by the energy shield, and the light shield behind him closed up again.
Arriving before Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan frowned as he looked at Luo Jin. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mu Han, who was currently surrounded by the Northern King and Xiao Jin. He sighed softly and asked:
"What's going on? You're actually going to step in and protect him?"
Xiao Yan's tone was filled with a hint of resentment. If Luo Jin hadn't spoken up to stop him, Mu Han would probably be a corpse by now.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin shook his head with a wry smile, seemingly quite helpless about the implication in Xiao Yan's words.
Xiao Yan's fury. If he could, he wouldn't mind Mu Han's death, but the current situation forced Luo Jin to protect Mu Han.
Shrugging, Luo Jin looked at Xiao Yan with a wry smile and said:
"I don't care whether this guy lives or dies, but there's something I have to remind you of."
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, frowned slightly, and stared at Luo Jin in front of him, a hint of doubt showing in his expression.
Luo Jin smiled slightly and nodded, but the words that came from his mouth made Xiao Yan feel that they were somewhat irrelevant.
"I remember you once told me that after entering the Void Lightning Pool, you would leave the Ancient Wilderness City and enter the Western Region. Do I remember correctly?"
"Um."
Although he had doubts, Xiao Yan did not rush to find the answer, but patiently waited for Luo Jin to clear things up for him.
Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Luo Jin nodded again, then looked past Xiao Yan to Mu Han behind him, who was also staring at him with wide, questioning eyes. He then slowly spoke:
"Then you should also know that the only place in this southwestern border region with a state-level teleportation array is this Ancient Wilderness City, and as Third-Tier Formation Master, he is responsible for controlling this array."
As Luo Jin finished speaking, Xiao Yan couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He glanced at Mu Han behind him, then turned back to Luo Jin, asking in confusion:
"What? Without him, the teleportation array can't be used?"
Luo Jin shrugged, but nodded again.
Seeing Luo Jin nod, Xiao Yan felt a pang of conflict. If what Mu Han said was true, then killing Mu Han would be tantamount to cutting off his own escape route.
In the void, Xiao Yan frowned, deep in thought. After a long while, he looked up at Luo Jin again and asked:
"Can't you control this teleportation array with your star chart? If you can..."
"No way."
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Luo Jin immediately followed up:
"My star chart is just a complex Formation Plate. Although it allows me, who is not an array master, to cast arrays, this is only by using its inherent power. It doesn't allow me to control arrays at will. After all, if it were like what you say, wouldn't all the array masters on this continent be worthless?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly realized, and smiled wryly. It seemed that he had been thinking too simply!
But then, as if remembering something, he asked again:
"I remember your Formation Plate also has a teleportation array, right? If we use your teleportation array..."
"It's useless."
Luo Jin interrupted Xiao Yan again.
"This is a state-level teleportation array. Unless you're Fifth-Tier Formation Master, no one can easily create such an array. Don't be fooled by Mu Han's constant control of the array; he's merely an agent for it. This array has existed for over a thousand years."
Having said that, Xiao Yan understood. It seemed that the teleportation array in the Ancient Wilderness City wouldn't work without Mu Han. So, if he wanted to go to the Western Region, he would have to rely on Mu Han?
The thought of Mu Han ignited Xiao Yan's anger. He had reached a point where he could no longer tolerate this guy who had tried to steal his Emperor Tribulation Pill time and time again.
However, because of the teleportation array, he had no choice but to keep him around, which left Xiao Yan feeling quite conflicted.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, looked at Luo Jin again, and said:
"By the way, since this teleportation array only requires someone to operate it, shouldn't we just need to find another array master?"
"Pfft..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud. He hadn't expected that after all that he had said, Xiao Yan was still dwelling on this matter.
After laughing for a while, Luo Jin slowly raised his head, looking at the latter with a wry smile, and said:
"What you said is indeed correct, as long as someone is there to control the formation..."
Before he finished speaking, a ruthless glint appeared on Xiao Yan's face again. As long as he could kill that old bastard Mu Han, everything else could wait.
"But..."
Xiao Yan was about to turn away with a fierce killing intent when Luo Jin spoke again. His words instantly extinguished most of the flames that had just risen in Xiao Yan's heart...
Xiao Yan stared at Luo Jin with a gloomy expression. The latter, feeling rather helpless, looked at Xiao Yan Luo Jin a wry smile before speaking again:
"To control this formation, you need at least Third-Tier Formation Master. There are probably only a handful of formation masters of this level in the entire Southern Region. Where am I supposed to find someone like that?"
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment. Xiao Yan and Luo Jin exchanged a glance, but both shook their heads helplessly.
After a long while, Xiao Yan suddenly turned around with a fierce expression and shouted:
"Beat him! Beat him hard! Even if you can't kill him, cripple him!"
