Demonic creatures of the wood attribute often possess divine skills that allow them to hide their aura.
The Ten Thousand Year Wood Charm is even more so the cream of the crop!
This creature had been lurking underground all along, and its sudden attack could have easily overwhelmed two ordinary Core Formation cultivators.
Fang Xi guessed that the disciple from Green Emperor Mountain, whose allegiance was unknown, had probably perished in such a frustrating manner.
"Why would there be a fourth-order demonic beast here? It doesn't make sense..."
The old ghost muttered, "Could it be a trap set by the sect leader... designed to lure out the traitor?"
"But creatures like the Wood Charm have long lifespans; this is practically digging my grave..."
He hid behind the Wood Ding Magic Treasures and with a raise of his hand, a talisman emanating golden light flew out.
Boom!
