Chapter 3821: 4.1421 Gratitude to the Elder

Let's rewind to fifteen minutes before.

Qiao Mu had infused several profound yin talismans into the Triple Heaven and Earth Extermination Array, filling the formation with ghostly energy.

Everyone who entered the second layer of the extermination array was met with a full assault from ghost spirits.

The members of the mercenary groups led by Shi Lang, Wang Kuang, Dell, and Queen Vasha suffered truly heavy casualties.

Finally, Dell made a decisive move, quickly stating her position and requesting to be released from the formation.

After all, Dell and her group had only come out of curiosity, and the result was tragic...

So, the formation immediately expelled Dell and her group, spitting them out in front of them.

As for Wang Kuang, they had originally intended to enter the array to seek out the breakthrough individual and kill for treasure.

With the formation already breached to this extent, how could they retreat and let their previous efforts go to waste?

Moreover, deep down, they secretly despised Dell's cowardice. This woman truly wasn't fit to lead a team.

Seeing difficulty and retreating? Heh heh.

Thus, outside, Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and their group saw Dell's mercenary group members being thrown out by the formation, landing right in front of them.

Duan Yue looked at the pale-faced, seemingly weathered unfortunate people expressionlessly, then sneered and asked, "Did you see anyone?"

He dared to bet his head that the person who set up the formation was nine out of ten their Qiao.

Did these people want to break into the formation to affect Qiaoqiao's advancement? Is that it?!

For some reason, Dell could clearly sense a faint malice emanating from the people before her.

She had already recognized the identities of many of them.

The Crown Prince of Shenzhou, the Regent of Cangzhou, and also... the Crown Prince of Mingzhou, and several young masters from the Qin and Mu households. How did all these important figures gather here?

Dell was a smart person. She certainly wouldn't challenge Mo Lian and his group, whose strength far surpassed ordinary people.

She obediently got up, tidied her clothes, then bowed to Mo Lian and the others, respectfully saying, "Your Royal Highnesses, gentlemen, our Dell mercenary group was merely passing by this area when we were inadvertently drawn into the formation."

"I explained the situation clearly to the elder within the formation, and the elder kindly released us! Our mercenary group, from top to bottom, had no intention of disturbing the elder's seclusion."

Mo Lian, Duan Yue, Myos, and the young masters of the Qin household all exchanged bewildered glances.

What happened?

What elder?

Shouldn't the person inside the formation be Qiaoqiao?

Mo Lian, however, immediately understood Dell's meaning.

Dell's group probably hadn't even seen who was inside the grand formation, had they?

So, she privately believed that anyone capable of setting up such a powerful grand formation must be an incredibly formidable "elder."

Duan Yue also instantly understood Dell's meaning. He gave the disheveled woman a speechless look and waved his hand. "Step back."

Dell and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Truth be told, they didn't care in the slightest about Duan Yue's arrogant attitude towards them.

After all, these people before them were all of extraordinary status; none of them were someone a small fourth-level mercenary group could afford to offend.

"Thank you, elder, for your mercy," Dell vowed that she would never again be curious about anything unrelated to her.

"Let's go." Mo Lian gestured to Duan Yue and Mu Xingchen, then immediately left Qin Er and Myos behind, rushing towards the location of the grand formation.
