Chapter 912 An eye for an eye (3)

At the same time, just as Shun Long's thoughts trailed off, a group of 6 men and women could be seen conversing with each other at the very edge of the 'Five-elements protective formation', all of them staring at the thin translucent veil in front of them that had merely rippled for a single second, before quickly returning to normal once again, seamlessly blending back into its surroundings once more.

''Huh, this is actually surprising! This formation isn't just a concealing formation after all, it also has some defensive properties as well! This thing even took Elder Ling's punch head-on and was barely even affected!''

Clad in a set of luxurious black robes, an old man with a hideous scar under his left eye eventually exclaimed, his gaze a mixture of surprise and curiosity as he stared at the thin protective veil of the enormous formation in front of him.

That old man was radiating an aura of natural authority whenever he spoke, as if anything and everything were inherently beneath him, and yet the shock was still apparent in his eyes as he examined the peculiar formation in front of him that seemed to span for miles and miles in the distance!

It appeared as if the formation his group had chanced upon encompassed a great deal of distance throughout the 'Endless Desert', and yet, the old man had never heard of this specific formation before.

Of course, something like this wasn't too unnatural by itself. After all, the 'City of Immortals' had only opened for a couple of times in the past, and every single one of those times had only lasted for approximately 10 years or so, so there were still far too many secrets that had yet to be unearthed!

Considering how vast just the 'Endless Desert' by itself was, and the fact that nobody had managed to fully explore it yet despite the overwhelming number of Dao Kings that had entered this place and the years that had gone by already, it was simply impossible to estimate the true magnitude of the entire 'City of Immortals' as a whole!

However, the luxuriously robed old man was mainly surprised by another reason.

It was solely for the fact that this formation was relatively close to the famous 'Stone Mural', and yet he had no information about it whatsoever!

How could such a powerful formation be this close to the mural and yet not been found by any other cultivators yet?

Was this a new, naturally formed formation, or did some powerful formations grandmaster place it here? And if it was the latter, why? What was their true intent? Was there something special about this place that others had yet to figure out yet that person had already found? The old man didn't know but he was certain he was going to find out!

Even more surprising, however, was the fact that the old man couldn't accurately pinpoint the formation's core. In the beginning, it seemed as if the formation was extremely large, spanning for countless miles throughout the desert and covering an extremely vast distance, but after ordering one of his companions to attack it, the old man was left even more confused than before!

However, the luxuriously robed old man, Elder Ming merely sneered when he heard the green-robed woman's response, causing his eyes to narrow dangerously into two thin slits making the scar under his left eye even more pronounced, before he answered mockingly

''Tell me then, Wang Dongmei, do you really think that someone would set up a formation like this, here in the middle of nowhere, for no apparent reason? That a rank 3 gold-grade formations master would spend so much time and resources setting up a concealing formation, simply to hide themselves in this place?''

Hearing the black-robed old man rebuking her so openly, the green-robed woman lowered her head in shame unable to come up with a retort, as she realized that the old man's words actually made sense.

Indeed, whether it was the old man's stance on this matter or his status within their group, both were compelling enough of a reason to force their entire group to make a move if he was dead set on doing something. Besides, what were the chances of a powerful formations master setting up such a powerful formation in the middle of nowhere for no real reason? It was practically zero! The green-robed woman was simply reluctant to offend another peak gold-grade formations master without knowing if the fight was worth it.

However, since the black-robed old man had already made his stance clear, Wang Dongmei knew that there was no turning back.

Nodding her head, she then clasped her hands towards the black-robed elder and said respectfully

''It seems that I was the one who didn't think things through this time. Since Elder Ming is confident in breaking this formation, I'm naturally willing to help!''

Finally, a smile started to appear on the black-robed man's face after hearing Wang Dongmei's response, before he turned his gaze towards the remaining 4 of his companions waiting for their own answers.

Seeing that no one else was disagreeing with his plan, the old man clapped his hands and prepared to give out orders to the 5 peak rank 9 Dao Kings accompanying him, ready to arrange them in specific spots around the formation to prepare and break it... but it was at that moment that the thin translucent veil of the formation suddenly started to ripple.

In the next moment, it seemed as if space itself was violently trembling and twisting, before the thin translucent veil finally parted, and from the inside, the pristine figure of a white-robed woman gradually walked out in the open.

This young woman was extremely beautiful, so much so, that one would actually think she had just walked out of a painting if they laid eyes on her for the first time! She had an extremely fair complexion, a perfectly shaped nose, and a pair of rosy red lips, as well as starry-like black eyes that resembled the depths of the abyss itself. Despite being covered by her white robes, it was obvious that this woman's figure was just as flawless as that peerlessly beautiful face of hers.

This was, without a doubt one of the most beautiful women that the black-robed Elder Ming had seen in his life! However, the undisguised death aura that was coming out from her body made it obvious, that this peerlessly beautiful woman didn't come with kind intentions, and was now staring coldly at the 6 peak-stage Dao Kings in front of her with undisguised hostility in her eyes!

Just as Elder Ming was about to speak to her however, one of his companions abruptly stepped forward, staring incredulously at the white-robed young woman, before he opened his mouth and asked in disbelief

''You... are you Liu Mei?''Nôv(el)B\\jnn
