Chapter 118: Schemes

The voice of Third Prince faintly carried a power that could shake the mind.

Clearly, Third Prince had already imbued his voice with a trace of a Divine Ability power.

Third Prince hid the power of his Divine Ability within his voice, firstly to force out the tracks of the person casting spells in secret.

Secondly, it was a gesture of intimidation, letting the person hidden in the dark understand that he was not someone to be trifled with.

If they knew what was good for them, it would be best to release his subordinates as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Third Prince's actions could only be described as casting winks at a blind person.

The mind-shaking power in Third Prince's words was completely useless to Sun Xuan.

Instead, after the voice fell, wisps of mist mysteriously generated out of thin air in the previously calm hilly land.

Countless mists connected into a single piece in an instant, completely concealing the figures of Third Prince and Seventh Prince who hadn't reacted in time.

"Hmph, you refuse to appreciate kindness!"

Seeing that his voice received not the slightest reply, but instead boundless, thick mist suddenly erupted all around,

seeing this scene, Third Prince's expression immediately darkened, and he let out a cold hum as he spoke in a gloomy voice.

However, although Third Prince looked calm on the surface, his heart was already somewhat filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

On this Barren Planet, apart from those two opposing factions of outsiders,

the only forces capable of quietly using a Restriction and Formation to conceal his subordinates without a sound were those good brothers of his.

As for the fire spirit clan in the Sea of Fire, and the savage beasts and desolate beasts in the Barren jungle, they were merely a group of brainless things.

Although the strength of these two was not weak, if you truly offended them, they would only confront you head-on with brute force.

Methods like laying down a Restriction and Formation to trick you in secret were impossible for them to use.

Moreover, the fire spirit clan in the Sea of Fire aside, the Sea of Fire was not suitable for the Diyuan Underworld Clan to survive in anyway.

They had no need to fight for or occupy this Sea of Fire that occupied one-third of the entire planet's area.

As for the desolate beasts and savage beasts in the Barren jungle, several of their beast kings had long been subdued by their Diyuan Underworld Clan.

Controlling the beast kings was equivalent to controlling all the desolate beasts and savage beasts within the entire Barren jungle.

When all was said and done, the desolate beasts and savage beasts in the Barren jungle were merely dogs of their Diyuan Underworld Clan.

As for why their Diyuan Underworld Clan did not migrate from the depths of the underground to live on the surface, it was because the Diyuan Underworld Clan did not like the environment on the surface.

Comparatively speaking, living in the depths of the underworld made them feel more comfortable.

As for those two external forces, at this moment they were all under the monitoring of Third Prince and the others.

As the natives on this Barren Planet, they still had their own unique methods to inspect the situation on this planet.

Therefore, the moment the two forces of Jiuyou Palace and Daluo Sword Sect arrived on this Barren Planet,

their whereabouts were already completely exposed under the eyes of the Diyuan Underworld Clan.

And Third Prince, as the leader who came to the surface this time to fight against these two external forces,

naturally could completely control the whereabouts of the two forces of Jiuyou Palace and Daluo Sword Sect.

Third Prince could be very certain that according to his real-time monitoring, whether it was the main force of Jiuyou Palace or the Cultivator of Daluo Sword Sect, they were a hundred thousand miles away from this place.

Therefore, the probability of these two forces running over here to ambush him was still negligible.

However, if the possibility of these two external invading forces making a move was excluded, the only people with the strength and motive to strike at Third Prince were those good brothers of his.

Thinking of this, Third Prince's expression immediately became extremely ugly.

If it were external forces, there might still be a sliver of room for negotiation.

At least taking him as a captive to threaten the Diyuan Underworld Clan was a much more cost-effective deal than killing him directly.

In this way, if he couldn't beat them, Third Prince still had a sliver of a chance to survive.

If he fell into the hands of his group of blood brothers, Third Prince dared to be certain that once he was defeated, the only fate awaiting him would be an ugly death.

And now, based on Third Prince's analysis, the person who made a move against him was very likely those brothers of his.

As a result, Third Prince's expression couldn't help but become even uglier.

However, awaiting death passively was not Third Prince's personality.

Since he had roughly determined at this moment that those brothers of his wanted to put him to death,

then he would also bring out all his methods to fight desperately and carve out a path to survive.

Although in this way, the plan to severely injure or even annihilate these two external forces would go down the drain.

However, while green hills remain, there's no lack of firewood.

As long as his life was still around, with his influence within the Diyuan Underworld Clan, there was still a chance for a comeback.

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed across Third Prince's eyes, and the black and white ring at the center of his brows flashed with a hazy black and white spiritual light.

Strands of strange energy flowed from the black and white ring into Third Prince's body, causing the power on Third Prince's body to instantly become even more formidable.

"Old Seven, can you still hear me speak?"

At this moment, Third Prince did not break the Formation in the first instance, but instead spoke solemnly to Seventh Prince, whose figure was completely concealed by the thick fog.

This fog could not only obscure vision, but also isolate the probing of Divine Sense.

Although the Divine Sense of Third Prince at the Asking Pinnacle Early Stage was extremely vast,

however, after his Divine Sense swept out, apart from the boundless fog, he simply could not detect anything at all.

However, this fog did not teleport Seventh Prince away.

At this moment, although Third Prince could not perceive the existence of Seventh Prince, his voice still reached Seventh Prince's ears.

"Third Brother, what is this situation, what should we do?"

At this moment, Seventh Prince had completely panicked.

This Jinduan Great Array could completely trap even Third Prince of the Asking Pinnacle realm, let alone Seventh Prince who was only at the Soul Formation stage.

At this moment, within the Great Array shrouded by the endless fog, Seventh Prince only felt the world turning upside down, unable to even distinguish up, down, left, and right.

Endless killing intent surged continuously within the fog, making Seventh Prince's heart palpitate with fear at this moment.

Now Seventh Prince pinned all his hopes of escaping on Third Prince.

Otherwise, if he, with his meager cultivation, ran around blindly in this magnificent Great Array, Seventh Prince had a premonition that he would definitely die a horrible death.

Hearing Seventh Prince speak, Third Prince couldn't help but let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

This wasn't because Third Prince valued brotherhood all that much.

To someone like Third Prince, who would do anything for the throne, familial affection was merely a weapon in his hands.

And Seventh Prince at this moment, in Third Prince's eyes, was a final Sharp Weapon for escape.

If he exhausted his methods and still couldn't escape from this Great Array, Third Prince would have no choice but to turn his attention to this brother of his.

In Third Prince's hands, he mastered a taboo secret technique that could use the Holy Demon Seal at the center of the brows of every royal bloodline descendant as a guide to instantly obtain immense power.

Although this power would be completely consumed within a single breath,

yet with this power as the foundation, he could break open this Great Array that made him feel a bad omen in his heart.

Once he left the shroud of this Great Array, he naturally had his own methods to instantly return to the ancestral land of the Diyuan Underworld Clan.

Thinking of this, Third Prince spoke to Seventh Prince in a solemn tone that carried a reassuring air:

"Old Seven, it's good that you're fine.

This Great Array is not simple. According to my analysis, it is very likely a killing array laid down by one or even several of those good brothers of ours in joint efforts specifically to deal with us.

If we aren't careful, we are in danger of dying within this Great Array.

You know that if the two of us fall into the hands of those brothers, there is absolutely no possibility of us surviving.

Your cultivation is too low. Later, I will temporarily disperse the mist around the two of us.

Then you must follow closely by my side without a moment's pause. Once I break open this Great Array, you and I, brothers, will escape together.

Old Seven, rest assured, you and I are full brothers born of the same father and mother, different from those half-brothers.

Even if Third Brother has to risk his life today, I will definitely rescue you!

Otherwise, even if Third Brother dies, in the netherworld, I will have no face to face our deceased Empress Mother!"

These words of Third Prince were spoken with deep sincerity and feeling. When it came to the touching parts, one could even hear a choked-up sound in Third Prince's voice.

Under these words of Third Prince, Seventh Prince's feelings of shock and fear also slowly calmed down.

Even in Seventh Prince's heart, a boundless Battle Intent rose.

Under the invocation of familial affection, Seventh Prince even had the thought that even if he had to risk his life, he must safely send Third Brother out of this Great Array.

Seeing this, Seventh Prince spoke to Third Prince with a somewhat choked voice:

"Third Brother, rest assured, I will absolutely not hold you back.

In my hands, there is also a short-term power outburst technique that can allow me to possess the power to temporarily contend against Asking Pinnacle Early Stage experts within a few breaths!"

Under Third Prince's passionate performance, Seventh Prince didn't say another word and directly exposed his trump card.

After hearing Seventh Prince's words, a look of surprise flashed across Third Prince's eyes through the patch of fog.

He really hadn't expected that in Seventh Prince's hands, he actually mastered such a trump card.

If it reached a point where things were unfeasible, once he made a move against Seventh Prince, after Seventh Prince utilized this trump card capable of temporarily contending against Asking Pinnacle Cultivator,

if he couldn't take him down immediately, he would be in a fix.

However, since his trump card was exposed right before his eyes in such a glaring manner, the subsequent matters would be much easier to talk about.

Third Prince thought with some suspicion and uncertainty in his heart.

It seems that a bitter meat trick will have to be staged later.

Seventh Prince's trump card must be made to be used in advance.

Just as Third Prince was conversing with Seventh Prince full of schemes, Sun Xuan had already used his methods to slaughter most of the manpower brought by Third Prince.

Although the individual strength of the troops under Third Prince was not too high, the strongest among them was only at the Nascent Transformation Initial Stage cultivation.

However, these Diyuan Underworld Clan troops possessed a battle Formation that could unite everyone's power.

The more people in this battle Formation, the stronger the power exerted.

However, correspondingly, the requirements for the Underworld Clan people forming this battle Formation were higher.

Otherwise, once the number of people was too large, it would simply be impossible to effectively unite the power.

Although the manpower brought by Third Prince was also elite, under the combination of power, at most they could only exert the strength of the Soul Formation stage Late Stage Great Perfection.

This was still under the premise that the leader must be a Cultivator of the Nascent Transformation Initial Stage.

However, at this moment, these Diyuan Underworld Clan troops, after falling into the Formation laid down by Sun Xuan,

were divided and broken down into smaller parts by Sun Xuan utilizing the power of the Formation.

Under the condition of insufficient numbers, the combat power exerted by this battle Formation was extremely limited.

Under this circumstance, Sun Xuan wanting to eliminate these Diyuan Underworld Clan troops became extremely simple.

I saw that within a Diyuan Underworld Clan troop of about two thousand people, everyone displayed the battle Formation with tense expressions.

The cultivation of nearly two thousand people united together, led by an Underworld Clan person at the Nascent Transformation Initial Stage, and the coercion formed had already reached the realm of the Soul Formation stage Late Stage.

Under the connection of the battle Formation, the Formation laid down by Sun Xuan could no longer easily split apart this nearly two-thousand-person troop at this moment.

These two thousand people, while maintaining the operation of the battle Formation at every moment, carefully and slowly advanced in the fog generated by the Formation.

And according to the guidance of that Nascent Transformation Initial Stage Underworld Clan member, from time to time they stimulated a powerful energy sword light into the fog.

After the sword light fell, it could clear away a little bit of fog.

However, in the blink of an eye, more fog filled in from the surroundings.

However, in the gap where the surrounding fog filled in, these nearly two thousand people, led by that Nascent Transformation Initial Stage Underworld Clan member, walked to the place where the fog had been scattered.

Clearly, this Underworld Clan person whose cultivation strength reached the Nascent Transformation Initial Stage had a certain level of Formation cultivation.

Otherwise, relying solely on the attack power of the Soul Formation stage Late Stage level, it would be impossible to repel the Formation fog.

However, although this Nascent Transformation Initial Stage Underworld Clan person had Formation cultivation, it was obviously not too brilliant.

Although under his command, these nearly two thousand people could scatter a small part of the Formation fog every time,

and at the moment the surrounding fog filled in, bring people into this gap,

if one stood outside the Formation and looked, these nearly two thousand people were merely under the leadership of that Nascent Transformation Initial Stage Underworld Clan member,

constantly spinning in circles in the same place.

Going on like this, even if Sun Xuan didn't make a move to deal with them,

even if these people exhausted their Lifespan, it would be utterly impossible for them to walk out of this fog.

However, Sun Xuan did not have the leisure time to waste here with them.

At this moment, it was better to slaughter everyone trapped by him in the Formation first, and then take out the things at the center of the brows of those two leading people.

After all, the situation on this Barren Planet was intricate and complex. If the battle was not resolved as soon as possible, with long nights bringing many dreams, if any accidents happened, it would not be good.
