CHAPTER 440: CHAPTER 440: THE STRANGE VILLAGE

"There is the energy of an array formation near the village." Ye Xuan said as soon as he stepped on the ground.

He had been studying array formations and could already set some even though he was more proficient in making array disks.

"Yes, it’s a strange array. Let’s get closer so that I can determine what kind of formation it is and if it would affect us if we stayed there." Chu Miao suggested as she had felt the energy too.

The two walked towards the village and the others, out of curiosity, followed.

Jun Huang and his group didn’t know anything about array formations and they didn’t have any cultivation.

Even those with superpowers were somewhat different from cultivators. That was why they didn’t hear what Chu Miao and Ye Xuan said about array formations.

Even if they heard, they might not understand what the two meant.

The group approached the village entrance slowly, but even after reaching just fifty meters away from the village, there was still no one coming out.

Chu Miao spread her divine sense towards it and felt as if her very soul was in pain. She immediately retreated and stopped probing, her face a little pale.

She hadn’t been prepared for such an attack. She had assumed that even if the formation was a defensive type, it would launch physical attacks. She hadn’t expected it to attack the soul through the divine sense.

"Baby, what’s wrong?" Ye Xuan immediately noticed his girlfriend’s change and held her shoulders as he inspected her for injuries.

The others heard his question and immediately surrounded Chu Miao, eyes filled with worry.

"What happened sister-in-law?" Li Kun asked as well.

The others had the same question written on their faces.

"I am fine. I was just attacked when I tried to check what was in the village as no one seems to have noticed us at all." Chu Miao replied.

"Attacked?" The others asked in unison as they didn’t seem to have seen her attacked at all.

Even Ye Xuan who was looking for injuries didn’t find anything.

"It’s not a physical attack, you won’t find any injuries. It’s a soul attack. I tried to use my divine sense to see what was going on inside but even before probing past the edge of the village, the formation attacked me.

I would suggest the rest of you don’t use your divine sense. It is...." Before Chu Miao could finish her sentence Li Kun fell to the ground with his face white as a sheet.

No one needed to ask what had happened, it was obvious that he had tested the formation as well but his soul and divine sense were much weaker than Chu Miao. He had ended up with his soul injured.

"This guy! How is he so stupid?" Murong Yi said as he and Lei Ying helped the idiot get up.

Both Chu Miao and Ye Xuan hurried over to his side to check his condition and found that he had pulled his divine sense back quickly, thus, his injury wasn’t serious.

"Why must you do something so stupid? You were told not to probe, and you did exactly that." Even Ye Xuan was angry and rebuked him.

"I didn’t think it was so fierce." Li Kun protested.

He had indeed thought that the attack mentioned by Chu Miao wasn’t that serious since her face, even though pale, didn’t change much.

Who would have thought that he had almost had his soul shattered?

"Idiot." Pei Ming also threw an insult but he couldn’t hide his worry for his friend.

"Hey, cut me some slack will you? I am an injured person." Li Kun was still in the mood to joke which eased the worry the others felt.

Jun Huang’s team still didn’t understand what was happening. They couldn’t understand why both Chu Miao and Li Kun seemed injured yet they hadn’t been attacked by anything or anyone.

Moreover, they kept talking about divine sense and soul attack, but no one was in the mood to explain it to them.

Chu Miao took out a small cup with a little soul fluid in it and took a sip. She felt refreshed and since the attack on her was only superficial, she could feel her soul recovering at a fast speed.

It could also be because her soul was many times stronger than that of ordinary people.

Having lived seemingly more than two lives and even traveled through time and space, her soul was more stable and stronger than anyone else, maybe only Ye Xuan could rival her since he had also lived more lifetimes than others.

Seeing that the soul fluid worked so well, she took out another small cup with a little fluid and gave it to Li Kun.

"Drink it and sit down to meditate. It will help to repair your soul." Chu Miao instructed and after Li Kun took the cup, she turned around to her teammates.

Well, this didn’t include Jun Huang since he wasn’t a cultivator.

"The rest of you, sit down in a meditative position and try to probe the formation. Don’t be too aggressive, be gentle and approach with caution to avoid irreparable damage to your soul.

Let’s not enter the village yet. Even though I don’t think it will have any effect on us immediately if we enter without probing, I doubt we will be safe either way.

So, let’s train our soul strength here." She told everyone and the seven brothers immediately understood.

Chu Miao had once told them that cultivators were stronger than other people, but cultivators who had trained their souls went further in the path of cultivation than others.

Thus, if they managed to strengthen their souls, their future achievements would be unlimited.

Moreover, having a stronger soul meant that even in a battle of people of the same cultivation level, they would have the upper hand.

Hence, they wouldn’t miss a chance to strengthen their souls.

"Alright, we will listen to you." Ye Xuan replied tenderly.

Murong Yi and the others felt goosebumps rise on their bodies when they heard such a tender and gentle tone come out of their boss’ mouth.
