Chapter 240
"Sister, I’m a man and you’re a woman, asking for my face isn’t very appropriate, is it?" Adam’s mouth twitched.
"I don’t care about that, I just want a face! If you won’t give me yours, then force this artifact spirit to come out and give me hers!" The faceless woman waved the Jade Auspicious Scepter in her hand, a light chuckle in her voice.
"Adam, don’t you dare! If you dare do that, even if I have to run all the way back to the Heavenly Court, I will report that you know the Myriad Phenomena of the Stars!" The young girl’s melodious voice rang out from within the Jade Auspicious Scepter.
She was highly irritated, she had been toyed with by this strange woman for days, and she had absolutely no way to fight back.
"Sister, let’s forget about it, she’s just a brat with a fiery temper, she definitely doesn’t look good anyway, her face wouldn’t be worthy of you." If the faceless woman kept the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter physically restrained, Adam actually could force the artifact spirit out.
With his current abilities, he was the absolute nemesis of spiritual treasures like the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter.
"Adam, what did you just say?! I am universally known as the most beautiful artifact spirit!" The Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter’s voice grew even more frantic.
"Sister, look, she’s even bragging!"
The Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter fell silent.
"What you’re saying does make some sense, I definitely need to find a peerlessly beautiful face," the faceless woman nodded slightly.
"You two... you two... phew, I know what you’re doing, you’re teaming up to provoke me into coming out, don’t worry, I won’t fall for it!" the Dragon-Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter took a deep breath and declared.
The faceless woman ignored the bratty artifact spirit and simply continued twirling the Jade Auspicious Scepter.
Adam smiled faintly and didn’t speak further, he resumed his focus on the situation within the array.
It didn’t matter if the faceless woman didn’t help, his own preparations were more than enough.
It’s just, where is the Demon Race? Still, making the Nova Clan pay a heavy price isn’t a bad outcome either, to think they actually colluded with Demons.
...
High in the sky, Elian and his five subordinates rapidly approached the target location.
"He’s right in that mountain ahead, everyone fan out! We will lay down our formations first, I can sense him!" A vicious glint flashed through Elian’s eyes.
This time, he was absolutely determined to make Adam pay in blood.
"Yes, sir!" The remaining five instantly scattered, each taking up a specific position to begin setting up their formation.
Elian pulled out a formation map, carefully analyzing the surrounding geography to find the optimal nodal points.
Adam had been constantly monitoring their movements from outside, seeing Elian and the others setting up a formation, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He had guessed correctly, the enemy had come thoroughly prepared.
He had long anticipated that the opposing party might attempt their own formations, so he had embedded a Reversal Formation within the countless grand formations covering the mountain.
The very formation they intended to use to trap outsiders would be forcibly reversed into one that controlled and suppressed them instead.
He knew that the enemies this time were coming in aggressively, completely incomparable to the Demon Cultivators from before, but Adam had made ample preparations, and his heart held absolutely no fear.
Watching all six of them enter the mountain, he was about to activate the outermost confinement formation.
Suddenly, he sensed someone else had entered the boundaries of the grand formation.
Adam frowned and shifted his gaze, his pupils violently contracted, and he instantly averted his eyes.
A Demon, Ninth Heaven of the Deity Realm.
The arriving Demon was at the Ninth Heaven, he didn’t dare look too closely.
An entity at this realm was already taking half a step into Sainthood.
Adam furrowed his brows deeply, the Demon Race really did send someone.
So the Nova Clan truly is in cahoots with the Demon Race? Are they teaming up to corner me?
No, that’s not right, if they truly were cooperating, given how remote this location was, there was absolutely no need to arrive separately.
Furthermore, it was impossible for the Nova Clan to knowingly collaborate with an entity whose strength far exceeded their own personnel.
That would be too dangerous.
Therefore, only one logical explanation remained.
The Demon Race deliberately leaked his location to them, setting them up as the vanguard.
This was Adam’s guess, but he still harbored one doubt.
Since the Demon Race had dispatched a Ninth Heaven Deity expert, why did they still leak his position to the Nova Clan?
That was a Ninth Heaven Deity, invincible beneath the Saint realm, capturing him should be effortless, could it be that the Demon Race was so cautious they anticipated he would set up an ambush?
But what a pity for them, they had still stepped right into his array, Adam was in an excellent mood.
Now he could kill two birds with one stone.
The Nova Clan and the Demon Race, I’ll make both of you bleed profusely.
Adam sensed that the Demon had completely entered the bounds of the formation, meanwhile, Elian and his men had finished setting up their own formation and were slowly creeping toward the cave.
They were acting with extreme caution, not launching an attack immediately.
That Demon was located not far from them, seemingly employing a secret technique to completely mask his aura.
As long as a Ninth Heaven Deity didn’t actively expose themselves, it would be incredibly difficult for the Nova Clan members to detect him.
Seeing this, Adam’s figure abruptly vanished, when he reappeared, he was a very long distance from Demon-Slaying Mountain.
"Enjoy yourselves!" He immediately activated the grand formation.
Instantly, a surge of intense power erupted around the cave, and countless brilliant rays of light shot into the sky.
The light instantly enveloped Elian and his team.
Elian and the others were severely startled and frantically circulated their spiritual energy.
It’s an ambush!
"Don’t panic! It’s just a measly formation, watch me break it!" Elian had an ominous premonition, but he absolutely refused to believe that any formation could trap an Eighth Heaven Deity like him.
