This only heightened Lu Yun’s anticipation for the treasures that could be exchanged with these points. However, before that, Lu Yun and the others had to find a quiet place for Hei Hun to recover from his injuries. The formation had been powered by Lu Yun’s exotic fire, and the cost of increasing its power was the array operating under extreme overload. Now, the fire crystals sustaining the formation were nearly drained of energy. Within half a day, the formation would fail completely, so they had to leave as soon as possible.
To ensure safety, Lu Yun had Qiao Yuchen and Hei Hun wait inside the formation while he went out to scout. He was worried that during this time, other cultivators might have arrived and were waiting in ambush.
Reality turned out exactly as Lu Yun feared. Crouched in the tall grass about a hundred meters from the formation were three sneaky-looking cultivators. Yet, compared to these three, Lu Yun was more interested in an unfinished painting on the ground nearby. Though he couldn’t understand what it depicted, it gave him an inexplicable sense of dread, as if the completion of this drawing would spell doom for everyone inside the formation.
