“They should be in close proximity, arranged in an array formation; locating them swiftly won’t be feasible,” Gu Chaoyan finally grasped the situation.
The recent incident must have been orchestrated to inconvenience them, it seemed.
As anticipated, they found themselves divided by the array formation.
Being isolated in such surroundings was far from favorable.
If the Undead Race truly intended their demise, they could systematically eliminate them, one by one.
Gu Chaoyan sighed – she held higher expectations for someone.
“What course of action do you suggest now?” Di Hongyun brandished his sword nervously, his gaze darting about, wary of a sudden appearance by the Undead
Race.
“Dissolving the array formation,” Gu Chaoyan responded composedly.
“But there’s a multitude of the Undead Race!” Di Hongyun’s trepidation was palpable. Contemplating their predicament, he perceived imminent peril. They were, after all, deep within the territory of the Undead Race!
“Not as many as you think,” Gu Chaoyan affirmed resolutely. “If the Undead Race were truly abundant in Xuhai City, why didn’t they directly assault us there? Why did they opt for creating a disturbance before establishing the array formation?”
“Consequently, the only plausible explanation is that their numbers are not substantial within Xuhai City, and they lack the capability to confront us directly. That’s why they resorted to these artifices.”
“Why should we concern ourselves then?”
Gu Chaoyan’s words were thought-provoking.
It indeed made sense.
When the powerful encounter the feeble, excessive exertion is unnecessary. However, those necessitating a significant effort might not possess the means to handle them effectively.
He finally pieced together the situation, erasing much of his previous fear.
Di Hongyun maintained vigilance over their surroundings, while Gu Chaoyan concentrated on the array formation analysis.
This particular array seemed designed to scatter everyone across distinct corners, out of mutual sight, yet in close proximity.
Although not an intricate formation, its creator displayed a deep familiarity with Xuhai City, allowing them to exploit its layout effectively.
Thus, no escape route remained unguarded.
Reflecting on their journey here…
Gu Chaoyan conducted a meticulous observation – the buildings in Xuhai City all possessed a square structure, interconnected by alleys without any obscured angles.
She scrutinized the environment.
Oddly, she couldn’t identify the array’s focal point.
Given her proficiency with array formations, why had she failed to locate its core after such an extended inspection?
“Something’s amiss,” Gu Chaoyan sensed a disturbance, though the nature eluded her. Suddenly, a realization struck her. “This isn’t an array formation, and this isn’t Xuhai City!”
“Where are we? When we entered, we clearly saw the name ‘Xuhai City’, ” Di Hongyun found his junior sister’s behavior growing peculiar once again. She was usually reliable, but in moments like this, her thought process baffled him.
“This is an illusion!” Gu Chaoyan declared with conviction. She hoisted the white jade sword, poised to charge ahead.
Abruptly…
The scenery vanished.
In its place lay a desolate expanse, overrun by rampant weeds.
The disciples of the Supreme Sect continued to move about, but upon comprehending the situation, they recognized their collective predicament..
