Chapter 151: Blood Fiend Formation 6
Li Sibai never expected to encounter Moyun within the Blood Fiend Formation, and to his utter astonishment, Moyun was now a disciple of the Demonic Sect's Joyful Harmony Sect.
"Senior Brother, are you still planning to stay here indefinitely?" Li Sibai asked.
Moyun nodded silently without answering. How he longed to cultivate like any normal disciple, but having accepted this mission, he had to stand firm here until it was completed.
Seeing his expression, Li Sibai fell silent as well. The surroundings grew abruptly quiet, save for the rustling of wind through the leaves.
This silence, however, was quickly broken when Li Sibai's spiritual sense perceived a squad of people approaching their location.
Moyun seemed to sense it too and urged hurriedly, "Xiaobai, you must leave now. Someone is coming immediately. Take the news of this place back with you; I trust the elders will take action."
Looking at Moyun in shock, Li Sibai had no time for deep reflection, for the footsteps of the approaching squad could already be faintly heard.
Hesitating no longer, Li Sibai nodded at Moyun, and the two of them sped away toward the foot of the mountain one after the other.
Along the way, Li Sibai probed their surroundings once more and noticed that the squad seemed to be heading directly toward the spot he had just vacated. Worriedly, he asked:
"Senior Brother, were you sent here just to look for me? If you let me go now, what will happen to you?"
Moyun smiled at him and said softly, "Xiaobai, don't you worry about that. You triggered the formation's restriction earlier, which alerted its temporary controller. Fortunately for you, I happened to be nearby, so they sent me to investigate the situation. They don't know the exact cause, so as long as you remain undetected, I can easily fabricate an explanation."
Li Sibai still wanted to ask more questions, but Moyun stopped him, "Xiaobai, this place is no place for a prolonged stay. I have a letter here detailing the situation inside this place; please take it and deliver it to our sect."
Upon hearing this, Li Sibai nodded and said, "It is only my own lack of mastery that led to my discovery. I cannot implicate you, Senior Brother. Junior Brother takes his leave now."
A bitter feeling washed over Moyun. As he watched Li Sibai turn to leave, a sudden thought struck him, "Xiaobai, whatever you do, don't tell anyone about my being here—especially Uncle Da. Since I'm not around, I must trouble you to look after him."
Li Sibai looked back at Moyun, smiled at him, made a reassuring gesture, and dashed swiftly toward the previous entrance.
From behind him came Moyun's parting reminder: "Xiaobai, remember that the grand formation will activate within seven days. Do not delay..."
The voice quickly faded into the distance, whether due to the effects of the grand formation or Li Sibai's rapid pace. Li Sibai managed a wry smile. His senior brother was truly a meticulous person, which explained why he was chosen to infiltrate this place.
There were no obstacles along the way, and relying on his Purple Light Divine Eyes, Li Sibai soon located an exit.
Although he was retracing the exact route from his memory, the terrain now looked somewhat different from before.
Under the observation of Li Sibai's Purple Light Divine Eyes, in just this short span of time, the stone platform where they had previously concealed themselves outside had already been swallowed into the Blood Fiend Formation.
The very thought of it sent a chill of terror through Li Sibai.
