Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 887: Scheme against each other
"what?"

Huo Miao was stunned. Ye Xuan's idea was something he had never thought of before. In his opinion, the most important thing to guard against during this trip to Wanhuang Mountain was the danger from the Yinsha Sect. There was no way to avoid it. He hoped that he would not run into the other party. But now, his sixth brother actually wanted to take the initiative to ambush and strike first. It must be said that this was too bold.

But... after thinking carefully, Huo Miao couldn't help but get a little excited, because he thought that Ye Xuan had already advanced to the Saint Realm of Martial Arts. If he really set up a large formation here to ambush the Yinsha Sect, maybe it would really work! Because no matter how many people came from the Yinsha Sect, no matter who they were, they would only be in the Saint Realm. The strength of their Yinsha Sect was actually not much different from that of the Xuanyun Sect.

What's more, Xuanyun Sect was originally worried about Yinsha Sect and Mangui Sect joining forces. Now that the strong men of Mangui Sect have left, if they can set up a formation here to kill the strong men of Yinsha Sect, then this worry can be said to be eliminated directly...

The more Huo Miao thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Xuan's proposal was an excellent choice. His eyes lit up and he said, "Sixth brother, you are a space warrior, so you must be able to set up some powerful space formations, right?"

"I'm not very proficient in formations." Ye Xuan shook his head, leaving Huo Miao speechless. But then Ye Xuan continued, "But a few simple space formations should be no problem. I think it's enough to deal with the Yinsha Sect's people."

In fact, Ye Xuan was being modest. He had devoured several space warriors before, and one of them was a formation master.

That is the Half-Emperor Space Taoist, Chen Baili!

At the beginning, Chen Baili was a very famous master of formations in the Northern Territory Central Province, especially in the art of space formations, which was well-known throughout the Northern Territory Central Province and was called "Zhen Baili".

Just think about it, Chen Baili can use his space formation to open Ye Xuan's small world. His space formation is so powerful. Although Chen Baili's cultivation is not high, he is definitely a rare master of formation.

However, Ye Xuan was not clear about the spiritual realm's formation techniques, and had never used the space formation techniques in Chen Baili's memory. Therefore, he did not know how advanced Chen Baili's formation techniques were. In the final analysis, Ye Xuan was still too young.

"..." Huo Miao was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have a subconscious fear of the people from the Yinsha Sect. He always felt that they were very powerful, but ignored Ye Xuan's own strength - with Ye Xuan's unpredictable powerful combat power, plus the assistance of several small space formations in advance, it should be enough to deal with the people from the Yinsha Sect.

"Then...it's decided." Ye Xuan smiled with interest and said to Huo Miao, "I'll start setting up the formation now."

"Oh..." Huo Miao felt that he was old and could not keep up with Ye Xuan's thoughts. He just nodded subconsciously, then stepped back a little, watching Ye Xuan's actions while carefully guarding his surroundings.

Ye Xuan stood in the void and pondered for a moment, then carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then moved. Flying swords flew out from his eyebrows. The first space formation he was going to set up was a space sword formation, which would be more stable when combined with his sword domain.

Next, Ye Xuan quickly arranged the space formation according to Chen Baili’s memory, and asked Huo Miao for a lot of formation chess pieces.

The art of formation is extremely powerful. According to the historical records of the Spirit Realm, there was once a genius in the art of formation who was at the level of Martial Emperor. He actually used a large formation to trap and kill a great sage. It is not known whether it is true or not, but it is enough to show the horror of the art of formation!
Half an incense stick later, when the space sword formation was formed, the space of thousands of feet in radius shook slightly, and a vague hemispherical barrier flashed by, and the formation flags on the ground or in the air disappeared.

After one formation was completed, Ye Xuan did not pause and continued to carve spatial patterns in the void. This time it took him longer than before. After about an incense stick of time, a large phantom killing formation in the spatial formation was completed.

After the two formations were set up, Ye Xuan touched his chin. He looked puzzled. Was it because the power of his spatial law was too strong, or was it because he had a talent for formations that he could set them up so easily?

Ye Xuan had no idea that the art of formations was different from the art of alchemy and the art of refining equipment. As long as one had the methods of arranging formations and the corresponding tools and energy in mind, it would not be difficult to arrange them. However, the art of alchemy and refining equipment required practice over and over again until one reached a level of mastery.

The difficulty of formation lies in practicing it, but Chen Baili's memory as a master of formation makes up for what Ye Xuan lacks.

Huo Miao was quite surprised and asked, "Sixth brother, is it over?"

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "It should be OK. All we have to do next is wait for the enemy to fall into our trap."

No matter how many people from the Yinsha Sect come, as long as they enter the formation, Ye Xuan has full confidence that he can deal with them. The function of the space sword formation is to prevent the enemy from escaping. In addition to destroying the enemy, the illusion killing formation can also conceal his own methods very well. Because at that time he plans to let Huo Miao "hold the formation" outside, and he will fight the enemy in the formation. With the cover of two space formations, Huo Miao will not see the situation in the formation.

The truth is that Ye Xuan has many hidden cards that he doesn't want Huo Miao to know.

The two of them hid beside the formation, and then Ye Xuan cast a small space-type concealing barrier shield to hide the figures and breath of the two.

Next, just wait...

……

However, after a full hour passed, there was still no movement at the entrance and no one came.

"It's a bit strange..." Huo Miao finally couldn't help frowning and said, "Even if the Yinsha Sect was late to prevent us from seeing their true strength, we have been in the valley for so long now, they should be here by now, right? If they delay too long, aren't they afraid that we will go too far and can't catch up with us? Or are they not going to participate in the trial this time?"

Ye Xuan also looked thoughtful. Suddenly, his expression moved, as if he thought of something. He suddenly stood up and looked in a certain direction deep in the Poison Ivy Valley behind him.

Huo Miao asked in confusion: "Sixth brother, what's wrong?"

Ye Xuan stared at that direction for a moment with a solemn expression, and finally withdrew his gaze helplessly, sighing: "Alas... I miscalculated, and worked in vain... I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the Yinsha Sect's people to fall into our trap."

"Why?" Huo Miao was puzzled. He subconsciously glanced at the direction Ye Xuan had just been looking at. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "That direction... is the direction the people from the Barbarian Ghost Sect left before? You mean..."

Ye Xuan nodded and said, "Although I didn't find them, I'm probably right - I'm afraid they have known about our actions here, and they must have contact with the people from the Yinsha Sect who haven't come in yet, so it seems that our ambush is unlikely to work."

"This...what should I do?" Huo Miao was very disappointed. He had originally thought that he could do something big, but after waiting for a long time he realized that it was all in vain. Of course it was disappointing.

Ye Xuan frowned and said, "Third brother, you stay here, I will go and confirm it."

As he spoke, he flew up and headed in the direction the two saints of the Barbarian Ghost Sect had left. He flew for more than a hundred miles, then suddenly his eyes flashed and he turned around and flew back.

Landing in front of Huo Miao, Ye Xuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "I found a detection array over there. It seems that our speculation is correct. Our previous actions were seen by the people of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. I believe that the people of the Yinsha Sect also know about it, so they have not come yet."

Huo Miao said: "Then let's..."

Ye Xuan said: "I guess the people of the Barbarian Ghost Sect left behind more exploration techniques than the one I found. I am too lazy to look for it anymore. There is no need to waste time and delay our treasure hunt... Let's go."

Although he felt somewhat unwilling and regretful, Huo Miao had no choice but to watch Ye Xuan put away the formation he had worked so hard to set up, and then the two of them flew towards the depths of the valley.

……

After Ye Xuan and his companions left, Pei Shenhuan, who was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock in the back valley, opened his eyes and said to the old man in gray robe beside him, "That Ye Xuan is indeed not simple. He found one of the detection formations I left behind, knew that the ambush was useless, and had already collected the formation and left, notifying the Yinsha Sect that they could come in."

The grey-robed old man nodded, took out a communication jade bead from his ring, input a message, then put the jade bead away and frowned, saying, "That Ye Xuan is really unexpected. We haven't even made a move on him yet, but he actually wants to ambush the Yinsha Sect. He is only at the first level of the Saint Realm, where does he get the courage to do that?"

Pei Shenhuan smiled and said, "It's not courage, but confidence. He was able to defeat Fang Yuan when he was a half-saint in martial arts. After advancing to the saint realm, he can at least defeat a fourth-level saint. It's obvious that the Yinsha Sect wants to be on the safe side. Ge Zhanxiong is really cautious."

The old man in gray robe also smiled and shook his head.

Pei Shenhuan stood up and said, "Okay, next, let's act according to the plan."
