278: Late night attack

Under the moonlight, silence reigned all around, with only the lights illuminating the neighboring courtyards.

Zhou Luo stepped towards Yao Wu's courtyard opposite. Under the glow of the Haoyue, the courtyard across was bathed in a layer of silver light.

Looking around, it seemed no different from the other courtyards.

But when Zhou Luo was halfway there, he suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed.

The aura of a formation?

As a peak First-Order Pill Array Master, his perception of formations was extremely sharp.

The next second, he released his Divine Sense. Under the shroud of his Second Order Divine Sense technique.

The courtyard, which had previously shown no abnormality, now flickered with points of light in his sight.

Those points of light were hidden in the night sky, merging with the air, undetectable to ordinary Cultivators.

Unless a Foundation Establishment Realm expert personally arrived.

Concealment formation?

Zhou Luo instantly recognized the origin of this formation.

This had a similar effect to the formation he had set up to avoid Liu Fuchen back then.

But the formation setter should only be an Upper Grade Array Formation Master, which is why the leaked power was detected by him.

Otherwise, if it were a peak Array Master, he might have entered the courtyard completely unaware.

At this moment, a trace of vigilance arose in Zhou Luo's heart.

Originally, he had no hesitation about Yao Wu's message, but after seeing this concealment formation, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Earlier, Wang Lang had said that many people died in the Immortal City every year.

The appearance of this concealment formation clearly indicated that the formation setter intended to catch a turtle in a jar.

Could it be someone from the Joyful Union Sect?

Zhou Luo didn't hesitate at all, nor did he care about Yao Wu's Life safety.

He quickly walked back towards his own courtyard.

If it was the Joyful Union Sect taking action, this was likely a kill trap aimed at Yao Wu and himself.

But why was he targeted?

Was it because of that token?

This was the only thing Zhou Luo could think of, and it was a relatively very valuable item he had obtained from Zhu Quancheng.

Whatever the reason, it no longer mattered, because he had already discovered the concealment formation.

So what now?

Stepping into the courtyard, his gaze fell upon the Snow Mountain Spirit Cat sleeping lazily on the stone table, bathed in the moonlight.

If it was the Joyful Union Sect, perhaps he could wipe them all out tonight.

Zhou Luo's heart sank.

It was precisely because of the hidden Joyful Union Sect that Zhou Luo had always kept his distance from Yao Wu.

If he could eliminate them tonight, he could take Yao Wu into his harem in the future.

Of course, the premise was that Yao Wu was still alive.

But he couldn't worry about that now. Whether Yao Wu was dead or alive, he definitely had to go and meet those guys from the Joyful Union Sect.

Since he had been targeted, if he didn't deal with them, there would likely be many more troubles in the future.

What's more, he had quite a few trump cards, especially Second Order mid-stage Bai and the Second Order Low Grade Talismans he had refined, etc.

Even if the Joyful Union Sect sent a Foundation Establishment Expert this time, he was confident he could kill the opponent. Even if he couldn't kill them, it didn't matter if he attracted the city guards.

Because this was Yao Wu's courtyard, if the other party trespassed, according to Immortal City regulations, there would be no problem even if he killed them.

After quickly thinking, Zhou Luo picked up Bai without hesitation and put it into the System inventory.

He was worried that the other party might have the ability to suppress storage rings, but if it was in the System inventory, he could summon it with just a thought.

This way, even if the other party had special means, he could easily summon it.

Not just Bai, but also Spirit Explosion Pills, Talisman Treasure, Second Order Talismans, and other items were also put into his System inventory.

After making thorough preparations, he walked out of his house again.

Looking at the courtyard that seemed no different under the moonlight, Zhou Luo's eyes darkened, and he slowly approached the other party.

This concealment formation might also help him hide his strength well.

A moment later, he arrived at the courtyard entrance.

Because it was a concealment formation, as long as it wasn't activated, it looked no different from the outside.

Bang bang bang—

He knocked on the courtyard door, and Yao Wu's voice immediately came from inside.

"Zhou Dage, the door isn't closed, come in quickly."

Zhou Luo's eyes flickered slightly. These people from the Joyful Union Sect were indeed very well-prepared to kill him.

He pushed open the courtyard door. Inside, besides the moonlight shining on the ground, it was silent, with only the room inside lit by candlelight, where a Shadow seemed to be standing by the window.

He stepped forward and walked towards the room.

Whoosh—

The moment he stepped in, a sharp, whistling sound cut through the air. A treasured sword pierced the void, heading straight for Zhou Luo's head.

The treasured sword came fiercely, like a golden long rainbow, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Although Zhou Luo felt a terrifying power, he could still handle it, so he didn't choose to directly summon Bai.

Because he wasn't sure if there were other people from the Joyful Union Sect, summoning rashly would only alert the enemy.

So he raised his right hand, the Shuofeng Magic Sword suddenly appeared, and he immediately swung his sword.

Water Curtain Sky Bloom!

A pale blue spiritual energy pierced through the sword body, rushing out with a whistle, turning into a massive water curtain.

That water curtain was imposing, and with the assistance of the Water Spirit Heart Method, it displayed extremely terrifying power, blocking in front of him.

Boom—

The golden long rainbow heavily struck the water curtain. Spiritual energy surged, but the water curtain was unharmed, blocking the attack.

"You really did hide your strength."

Under the night sky, a female voice sounded.

Across from him, Xu Tian suddenly revealed her figure. Dressed in a gauze skirt as thin as cicada wings, she revealed her fair and slender jade legs. Under the night sky, her beautiful silhouette was faintly discernible.

If it were an ordinary man, their blood would probably be boiling instantly.

But Zhou Luo's heart was as still as water. He was just slightly surprised: "You're actually from the Joyful Union Sect?"

He hadn't expected that this charming and bold woman was an Evil Cultivator.

No wonder Yao Wu's Senior Brother was so infatuated with her back then that he ended up losing his Life for nothing.

Moreover, after Zhu Quancheng and the others left, this woman also cleverly disappeared. He figured she must have gone to track them.

In an instant, Zhou Luo understood many key points, and the look in his eyes towards the other party became sharp.

"Zhou Luo, hand over your Foundation Establishment Materials."

Xu Tian's eyes sparkled, her voice was charming, and a power that could disorient the mind was quietly released.

Her guess was indeed correct. This Zhou Luo had reached the late Qi Training stage, which was why he needed Foundation Establishment Materials to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

The last time she refined Foundation Establishment Pills, she lost a lot of Foundation Establishment Materials and had been searching ever since.

But Foundation Establishment Materials were not so easy to find, which was why she set her sights on Zhou Luo.

As her voice fell, the power full of charm went straight towards Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo's whole body glowed with a pale blue spiritual light. With the help of the Water Spirit Heart Method, this power had no effect on him.

Xu Tian's pretty face smiled, and she moved her feet.

The golden treasured sword in her hand stirred up a sharp Sword Qi, which suddenly rushed towards him.
