Spirit Through the Heavens

"Not good, there's a spirit formation trap!"    

"Quickly retreat!"    

When Jin Yan and Wu Hao's disciples crazily chased after the mud rat, the few people in front of them suddenly disappeared into thin air.    

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people who were slower naturally knew what was going on, so they quickly retreated.    

"Since you are already here, you can stay here. After all, we have prepared a gift for you."    

However, just as these people were fleeing, the dozen or so people led by Lu Feng suddenly appeared in front of them and launched a fierce attack at them.    

Due to the sudden incident and the fact that Lu Feng and the other Strength Sovereign's disciples were powerful in close combat, seven or eight of them were injured before these disciples could react.    

A few of them had already been trapped in the spirit formation, and now, seven or eight of them had been injured. Therefore, only a dozen of Jin Yan and Wu Hao's disciples were left.    

"Everyone, listen up. Let's finish this one on one."    

Following a loud shout, Lu Feng took the lead and rushed out.    

"Fight!"    

Seeing Lu Feng taking the lead, the other Strength Sovereign disciples naturally rushed forward with strong fighting intent in their eyes.    

As for Qin Jietong and the other disciples of Array Sovereign, they weren't idle either. Although the spirit formation was ready, they still needed to control it in the beginning.    

Besides, in terms of close combat strength, perhaps only the disciples of Knife Sovereign and Sword Sovereign could be compared with Strength Sovereign's disciples. The disciples of the other Venerables couldn't be compared to them at all.    

Previously, the disciples of Ice and Fire Venerable had the upper hand in a two-versus-one fight. So, how could these guys be a match for Lu Feng and the others in a one-versus-one fight?    

Just like that, under the fierce attacks of Lu Feng and the others, the injuries of Jin Yan and Wu Hao's disciples became heavier and heavier.    

Of course, these disciples were only injured. None of them died.    

Lu Feng and the others knew this in their hearts. Although there could be death in the trial, under the circumstances where there was a huge difference in strength, death was absolutely unnecessary.    

Lu Feng and the others' goal was to defeat them, not kill them all. So, as long as they were injured, they could throw them into the prepared spirit formation.    

"Sovereign Jin, Hao Zun, thank you for letting us win!"    

When Lu Feng and the others threw each and every one of them into the spirit formation, Li Xiong and Array Sovereign who were watching the screen immediately smiled and said to Jin Yan and Wu Hao.    

"Array Sovereign, Strength Sovereign, it seems that the first place in this trial will be between you and Sword Sovereign and Hong Sovereign. Congratulations, congratulations." Jin Yan said.    

Although they had lost the competition, they were still the third person to be wiped out, so they were not considered to be at the bottom.    

"Hehe, they have been at the bottom for a long time. Now, they finally have a chance to take the first place. I'm not used to it." Li Xiong said with a smile.    

"First place? Strength Sovereign, don't be so full of yourself. Don't forget that your opponent is us." Sword Sovereign said with a sneer.    

Their group was always victorious in the trial, so Li Xiong's words made him especially uncomfortable.    

Li Xiong said that they had a chance of getting first place, which meant that they had a chance to defeat Sword Sovereign and Hong Sovereign's disciples. Even Hong Sovereign's face changed slightly when she heard this.    

"Sword Sovereign, Hong Sovereign, your group is indeed very strong, but today, we are no longer the same as before, so the result is really hard to say." Array Sovereign said in a low voice.    

As long as the competition was not over, everything would change. Adding Lu Feng's relationship with him, Array Sovereign was very confident in this trial.    

When Array Sovereign and the others looked at the screen and discussed, Lu Feng and the others continued to move forward in the swamp.    

Through the sensing of the Heaven Seeking Spiritual Array, Lu Feng and the others knew that their opponents were only one group. However, they were not sure whether their opponents were Sword Sovereign's group or Knife Sovereign's group.    

However, they were certain that no matter which group it was, it would put a lot of pressure on Lu Feng and the others.    

Putting aside the strength of Hong Sovereign and Dark Sovereign's disciples, just the close combat ability of Sword Sovereign and Knife Sovereign's disciples wasn't any weaker than Strength Sovereign's.    

That was also the reason why it would never work if they used the same tactic as before.    

"Lu Feng, actually, our performance in this trial is already very good. To be able to defeat two groups in one go, this was something that we didn't dare to believe before. So, even if we lose to the other party, there's nothing to lose. So, there's no need to worry. " Strength Sovereign's disciple looked at Lu Feng who was frowning and said in a low voice.    

"You can't put it that way. Since we have the chance to get first place, we have to work hard. Although our opponent is very strong, we can prove one thing through the previous two battles, and that our strength isn't weak either." Lu Feng said.    

It wasn't easy for them to reach this stage. Lu Feng naturally didn't want to give up. So they had to think of a good way, especially now that they had the advantage. They controlled the movement of the enemy, but the enemy did not know where they were.    

If they made good use of this point and caught the other party unprepared, then the first place in this trial would most likely be theirs.    

That was why Lu Feng had been thinking about this question when Qin Jietong led everyone towards the last group.    

On the other side, Sword Sovereign and Hong Sovereign did not know where their opponents were, so they could only wander around in this vast swamp.    

"We don't even know where the other groups are. When are we going to find them?" A Sword Sovereign disciple looked at the calm swamp and couldn't help but complain.    

"That's right. If we can't find each other, won't the trial continue like this?" One of Hong Sovereign's disciples couldn't help but ask.    

"It is absolutely not a way to continue searching aimlessly like this. This way... Since the other groups didn't leave behind any clues, we might as well leave behind something along the way. If the other teams see this, they will definitely take the initiative to approach us. " Another disciple of Sword Sovereign suggested.    

... ""    

"Guo Lin, what do you think?"    

When the disciples voiced their opinions, one of them suddenly looked at the other and asked.    

"It is a good idea to leave some clues along the way, but if the other groups find out and follow us secretly... Then we are also very dangerous, so the clues must be left behind. But we have to change some ways. " The young man called Guo Lin rolled his eyes and said.    

“ Oh?"    

Many people's eyes fell upon this man after hearing these words. It was obvious that they really wanted to know what this Guo Lin had in mind.    

"We left behind clues along the way, but after leaving behind clues, we must head towards the vicinity. Move one or two kilometers away. This way, even if the other teams follow these clues. It's impossible for them to sneak attack us from behind." Guo Lin told them his method.    

"Alright, this idea is feasible. If it's one or two kilometers away, we can go back from time to time. At that time, we might be the ones to sneak attack them." Someone agreed.    

"Let's do it!"    

After one of them agreed, the others agreed as well. Guo Lin was the strongest Emperor Stage amongst Sword Sovereign's disciples, so many of them naturally agreed with what he said.    

"Li Yin, do you agree?"    

After Guo Lin saw that everyone on his side agreed with his idea, his eyes fell on one of Hong Sovereign's female disciples.    

If Guo Lin was the leader of Sword Sovereign's group, then Li Yin was the leader of Hong Sovereign's group.    

Therefore, as long as Li Yin agreed, this plan could be implemented.    

"I have no objections." Li Yin nodded and agreed.    

"Alright, let's start now. We will leave traces along the way. But we can't be too deliberate. Otherwise, the other groups definitely won't fall for it. After ten minutes, we'll move to the right side and continue forward for a while before coming back. " Guo Lin said.    

After listening to Guo Lin's words, Sword Sovereign and Hong Sovereign's disciples immediately started moving. Because they could not be too careful, they only left deep and shallow footprints on the ground.    

No matter what, this was a swamp. The soil was relatively soft, so leaving a few footprints shouldn't be suspicious.    

Just like that, according to Guo Lin's plan, after they walked for ten minutes, they moved one or two kilometers to the right and continued to move forward.    

"Hmm?"    

When Guo Lin and the others moved, Qin Jietong, who had been using the Heaven Seeking Spiritual Array to sense them, frowned slightly.    

"What's wrong?"    

Lu Feng asked softly when he saw the change in Qin Jietong's expression.    

"Lu Feng, they moved more than one kilometer to the right and continued to move in the same direction. Why is that?" Qin Jietong asked, puzzled.    

"This..."    

Lu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. Obviously, he did not know what the purpose of the previous group was.    

"Forget it. If they move horizontally, we will also move to the right. As long as we follow behind them, there should not be any danger." Lu Feng said.    

"Alright!"    

Qin Jietong nodded, then led the group to move to the right side for more than one kilometer. This way, their group continued to follow behind the group in front.    

"Your disciples actually know where our disciples are. This seems unfair!" Sword Sovereign looked at the positioning of Lu Feng and the others on the screen. He frowned.    

They had seen how Guo Lin and the others left their footprints. When they moved to the right, Lu Feng's group also moved to the right. There was obviously something wrong with that.    

"Fair? Lu Feng and the others used their own abilities to grasp the whereabouts of your group's disciples. How could this be unfair? Besides, Lord Hong was watching this trial. He didn't say anything, which clearly proved that there was no problem with Lu Feng and the others' actions." Array Sovereign retorted.    

"Sword Sovereign, losing once in a competition isn't shameful. Otherwise, you will get sick of getting first place every time. This will make your disciple overly confident and proud. Perhaps, if they lose this time, they will be able to recognize the truth. This is the only way for their strength to rise to another level. " Knife Sovereign spoke at this time.
