Xunuo thought for a moment and realized that in the upcoming actions, he needed to demonstrate enough strength. In this team, it was essential to highlight his irreplaceable role.
Otherwise, if a conflict broke out between the two sides, he, being defenseless, would be obliterated in the first wave of attack.
Moreover, Thunderstorm was completely obedient to Mei Sanli. Ever since Mei Sanli appeared, Thunderstorm had followed closely behind, never leaving his side.
He was like Mei Sanli's shadow, or perhaps more accurately, like a dog to Mei Sanli.
Xunuo initially believed that after traveling with Thunderstorm for a while, they had developed some camaraderie. He hoped that Thunderstorm would say a few good words to help him escape this disaster.
To his surprise, Thunderstorm didn’t even glance at him, as if they were strangers. He simply stayed right behind Mei Sanli, strictly executing every command given by Mei Sanli.
Mei Sanli led the group of cultivators out of the formation and quickly headed towards the next rendezvous point.
Seeing that he could not rely on Thunderstorm and Liu Canghai remained in the formation as support, Xunuo had no choice but to contemplate ways to break the deadlock along the way.
Currently, what Xunuo could bring to the table was Divine Sense and the newly acquired formation. He planned to reveal Divine Sense while scouting ahead. In this regard, Xunuo did not intend to hold back. Instead, he wanted to display a decisive dominance so that all the cultivators could see his irreplaceable role.
However, he had some small thoughts regarding that formation.
Based on Xunuo's understanding of formations, he couldn't fully grasp this one in a short time or innovate a sharper version. However, making minor adjustments to this existing formation was well within his capabilities.
Xunuo's plan was simple: to set up this formation in the space closest to the Yama Palace stronghold. Ideally, it would be within the controllable range of Divine Sense. If anything unexpected happened, he could use the power of the formation to escape.
Because within the range of Divine Sense, the mobility power of this formation was quite formidable. It was sufficient for him to teleport inside the formation for protection or to flee.
If this group were to commit unkind acts, Xunuo was confident that he could eliminate most of them within this formation.
After days of recuperation, Xunuo was now able to cast some basic spells. He could also summon Heavenly Shadow Spike.
While he lacked the strength for further assassination attempts, being able to summon a magical artifact was already a completely different concept.
In the next actions, it would even play a crucial role. If the owner of the magical artifact lacks sufficient power, they can borrow from others. The prerequisite is that the owner must be able to activate the artifact. If one cannot even summon the artifact, no one else can help.
Xunuo had made ample mental preparations regarding this issue and would not hide anything about it.
The seven of them descended, and along the way, the wandering spirits had no chance to approach. Wherever Divine Sense reached, spells flew through the air. The atmosphere was entirely different from when Xunuo and Thunderstorm had come down. They arrived at the next space almost without any hindrance.
This space below had already been set up with a formation by Fangya and others, completely sealing it off.
As Mei Sanli entered this formation space, he began discussing the specific situation and action plan with the other four leaders.
Xunuo glanced at the formation and frowned slightly.
He thought to himself: It seems I am not the only one making preparations for contingencies. Every formation on this route serves as both a means of survival and a potential danger. Thus, Xunuo began to study this formation seriously.
This was a simple Defensive Array, which Xunuo understood in a moment.
For an expert like Xunuo, breaking a Defensive Array from outside posed some difficulty. If he were to stay inside this formation for a while, its weaknesses would immediately be laid bare before him.
Xunuo originally intended to make some adjustments but dismissed that thought after a quick look. There was no need; entering and exiting this formation posed no obstacle for him.
This formation had been acquired at great cost by Fangya's teammate, specifically designed to deal with threats from the Underground City. Therefore, Fangya suggested leaving one teammate behind to activate the formation as support.
Mei Sanli waved his hand in disapproval. "There are at least four such spaces below. Each will have formations set up. We cannot assume that only you have made these preparations while we lack personnel to spread out."
Tuba Five agreed, saying, "Big Mei is right; we cannot afford to disperse our forces further."
Fangya did not insist on this matter. Regarding the distribution of Foundation Pills, Mei Sanli raised no objections.
In fact, Mei Sanli believed that deciding on the distribution of Foundation Pills now was merely self-deception—a way to comfort oneself psychologically.
Each team leader receiving one Foundation Pill was an undeniable fact that needed no further discussion; bringing it up would only be superfluous.
The only highlight of this allocation plan is that the final distribution of the Foundation Pill will be based on each person's contribution. This is the key to unlocking Zhu Xiu's potential and motivating everyone to give their all.
As for who will ultimately receive the Foundation Pill, Mei Sanli is quite clear that everyone who survives should have a share. The crucial factor is who can live until the end.
Next, Zhu Xiu began to reestablish the Demonic Oath, binding the more than twenty cultivators together through it.
The master of the final formation provided each person with a jade slip that allowed free entry and exit from the formation.
Under Mei Sanli's command of "Set off," this group of cultivators exited the formation.
Once they entered the passage below, these cultivators tacitly took turns moving forward, ensuring that each cultivator's energy would not be excessively depleted, allowing them to maintain their vigor.
Even so, it wasn't long before this team was blocked by several fierce Yin Soul Beasts. After a fierce battle that drained their energy, they finally managed to slay these beasts.
Mei Sanli raised a hand to halt the group's progress. With a smile at Xunuo, he said, "In our journey ahead, we must strive to avoid these formidable creatures in order to conserve our energy for greater threats. Xue Dao You, do you have any good strategies?"
Xunuo immediately replied, "I can extend my Divine Sense further to guide us and help us avoid the fierce Yin Souls. If we cannot evade them entirely, we can choose weaker ones to confront."
Mei Sanli nodded and said, "Then I will rely on you, Xue Dao You. Please lead the way."
Xunuo smiled slightly, "I will also be in the back."
Hearing this, Fangya looked at Xunuo with a mocking expression.
In his view, Xunuo was merely making excuses out of fear for his life.
This was because the cultivators leading the way were significantly distanced from those lagging behind. In such an environment thick with Yin Qi where Divine Sense was obstructed, this distance had already affected the range of Divine Sense scouting.
Xunuo was a powerful cultivator with strong Divine Sense who had joined this team. However, Fangya did not believe that his Divine Sense could surpass his own by several times.
Seeing Zhu Xiu's strange expression, Xunuo suddenly extended his Divine Sense outward.
A powerful wave of Divine Sense surged from Zhu Xiu, sweeping over the area like a tide.
The Fang-toothed Man turned pale. The others wore expressions of shock and disbelief, except for Thunderstorm, who remained calm and nodded slightly at Mei Sanli.
In such a situation where Divine Sense was at play, its value became increasingly precious.
As soon as Xunuo unleashed his Divine Sense, even from the back of the group, the range of his perception far exceeded that of the other cultivators.
This was primarily because Xunuo's Divine Sense had surpassed what could be comprehended at the Foundation Stage, making them feel as if they were facing a Foundation Stage Cultivator.
Zhu Xiu couldn't help but shift his gaze between Xunuo and Mei Sanli, each lost in their own thoughts, filled with astonishment.
Mei Sanli laughed heartily and said to Thunderstorm, "On this journey, you must ensure Xue Dao You's safety. Where you go, he must follow."
Thunderstorm nodded and stepped behind Xunuo without saying a word.
Mei Sanli had heard from Thunderstorm and Liu Canghai about Xunuo's extraordinary Divine Sense. Seeing it in action today exceeded his expectations.
He understood well how valuable it was to have a teammate with such powerful Divine Sense in their group.
With Xunuo guiding them on the path ahead, they felt much safer and their pace quickened significantly.
In the next area, Ku Zulan instructed others to set up a formation. When Xunuo saw this, it was indeed as Mei Sanli had said; every team was preparing to lay down formations. There was no place left for their own formation.
Once the formation was set up, Zhu Xiu hurriedly focused on recovering his mana.
Each space where formations were laid out became the best spot for Zhu Xiu to restore his mana. Maintaining full mana was crucial for the fierce battles ahead.
Xunuo did not need to recover mana; he simply sat quietly to gather his spirit. His Divine Sense silently explored the formation.
What left Xunuo speechless was that it was merely an Illusion Array. He investigated further with skepticism before reluctantly accepting this reality.
In the previous space, a simple Defensive Array was set up. Xunuo could understand this, as although the Defense Formation had a singular function, it still held some practical use.
However, a pure Illusion Array had almost no real significance. Only when combined with Illusion Trapping or Illusion Killing could the true power of the Illusion Array be unleashed.
As Xunuo pondered this, he realized it was not that they did not want a more powerful formation; rather, they simply had not been given enough time to prepare for it.
Moreover, the arrays made from Yin Attribute Material were in high demand but had very specific and harsh usage conditions. Array Masters who focused on this type of formation were naturally scarce. The combination of these factors led to the current situation.
After resting for a moment, the group set off again. The number of Yin Souls on the path below was increasing, and their ranks were also rising continuously.
As a result, the team had to compress their formation to advance, allowing them to support each other more effectively. Xunuo moved to the center of the group.
Whenever they entered a new space, someone would always take out an array to set up. Zhu Xiu also took the opportunity to rest for a moment and recover his mana.
This continued for five such spaces. In the next space, however, no one took out an array to set up.
They were also not far from the stronghold of Yama Palace.
Xunuo thought for a moment and felt that this place was still not secure enough, so he decided against setting up his own array here.
