With a loud "boom," the entire formation radiated a brilliant light, sending out astonishing fluctuations.
The martial artists outside witnessed the sudden attack of the异人屠 and, while shocked, instantly understood his intent: he aimed to subdue Qin Chen in the shortest time possible.
In almost an instant, everyone began to circulate their true energy, clearly intending to take advantage of the异人屠's attack to occupy the formation.
However, before they could make a move, a loud explosion was heard as the异人屠's attack smashed against the light barrier in front of Qin Chen, returning without success. It couldn't even break the formation to restrain Qin Chen.
The crowd collectively gasped in astonishment. What kind of defensive formation was this? It was terrifying!
The异人屠 could be considered one of the strongest individuals on the field, yet his sudden attack failed to inflict any damage on Qin Chen!
"You think I don't know your thoughts?"
At the same time, Qin Chen's mocking voice echoed, rumbling into everyone's ears with a cold tone: "To think you can subdue me while handing over the spirit medicine, how naive!"
"Is that so?"
Although his attack was blocked, the异人屠 showed no signs of disappointment or panic. Instead, a sly look of triumph appeared on his face.
"Go!"
With a loud shout, he suddenly grabbed the unnoticed Zuo Wei beside him and retreated swiftly. In the blink of an eye, he had pulled Zuo Wei out of the formation's range.
"Your Highness, I did not fail my mission!"
With one hand holding Zuo Wei, the异人屠 landed beside Zhou Xun and said blandly.
"Hahaha, good!"
Zhou Xun laughed heartily, patting the异人屠 on the shoulder, then grinning at Qin Chen with pride: "Kid, did you think this prince sent the异人屠 in to kill you? You're overthinking it. This prince's goal is merely to rescue Master Zuo Wei from our Great Zhou Dynasty. With Master Zuo Wei here, let's see how arrogant you can be. Did you really think you were the only one who could break this teleportation array?"
This sudden scene stunned everyone present.
At the same time, they all showed expressions of wild joy.
What a clever feint!
Judging from Qin Chen and the black slave's reactions, it was clear that they had not trusted Zhou Xun and were already on guard against the异人屠.
However, they could never have anticipated that the异人屠's target was not them, but the Master Zuo Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who had been previously subdued by Qin Chen.
Zuo Wei was a sixth-level array master, and having observed the boy set up the array earlier, with his expertise, if Qin Chen could set up a teleportation array, then Zuo Wei could certainly do the same.
Thus, everyone realized they didn't need to worry about how Qin Chen would act; relying on Master Zuo Wei, they could leave this ruin.
"Young Master Chen!"
The black slave’s face turned grim, clearly shocked that the target was Zuo Wei. His eyes showed deep regret.
Qin Chen's expression was equally icy as he coldly said, "Zuo Wei, as my servant, what are you doing standing there? Hurry back to me!"
"Hahaha, servant?" Zhou Xun sneered. "Master Zuo Wei is the array master of our Great Zhou Dynasty; how could he be your servant? Hehe, now you're anxious, aren't you?"
Zhou Xun was filled with pride in his decision.
He smiled at Zuo Wei and said, "Zuo Wei, once we get out, it will depend on you. As long as you can help me leave this place, I will guarantee to recommend you as a royal offering to the Great Zhou Dynasty, allowing you to enjoy substantial benefits every year."
"Thank you, Sixth Prince."
Having escaped Qin Chen's control, Zuo Wei relaxed and smiled at Zhou Xun.
Qin Chen's expression darkened as he scoffed, "Zhou Xun, how naive you are. This person is nothing but a waste! Earlier, outside the ruins, he couldn't even break a natural formation. How could he possibly activate the teleportation array? What a fool's dream!"
Everyone turned their gaze toward Zuo Wei.
To be honest, they were somewhat apprehensive, unsure if Zuo Wei could activate the teleportation array. After all, the markings on the stone platform bore no traces of a modern array. According to that boy, it belonged to the category of ancient formations.
