“We can’t keep doing this…” When Omar saw the crowd’s exhausted appearance, he gritted his teeth and looked at Xander.
Xander stared at the mist not far away, pondered, and asked, “Is there no response from the previous messenger we sent?”
“We didn’t…” Maya clenched her teeth.
She was the first who was trapped in the Clear Lake’s Moon-Locking Formation.
When Maya sensed that the situation was not right, she directly sent SOS letters to everyone.
However, Maya did not expect that every disciple that rushed over would be trapped, and soon more people were trapped.
After giving it a thought, Maya even had a feeling that the Three-Tailed Fox that set up this formation deliberately let her send out the messengers to attract more Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples.
Hence, Maya felt guilty at the thought of that.
If it were not for her, everyone would not have fallen into an impasse.
When Xander saw Maya‘s guilty expression, he shook his head and said, “Maya, this matter has nothing to do with you.
The Three-Tailed Fox came prepared, and you accidentally fell into the trap first.
Fortunately, it was you.
Otherwise, many people might’ve died by now.”
Xander was right.
Thankfully, it was Maya, and she managed to contact them for support immediately.
If it were other Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples, they would probably last only for at most a day, and they would be torn to pieces from time to time by the monsters in this formation.
Xander glanced at everyone, and he whispered, “We’ll need to see when Casper rushes over to break this formation.”
One of the injured disciples stuttered, “It’s been five days, but there’s no news on Casper.
Is he… Is he coming?”
“He’s coming!” Maya’s face swiftly changed, and she answered determinedly, “Casper will surely come.”
When she said that, the scene where Caspian blocked everyone outside Mirefield Gate and in the Hopeful Woman Mountain appeared in Maya’s mind.
Another disciple stammered, “But… But… If we can’t go out… Casper… Casper won’t have any other competitors in the spiritual apprentice list.”
Another disciple chimed in, “Moreover, Casper and Xander still have a bet.
Once Xander has an accident here, then the mission issued by the elders will have to be ignored.
In terms of strength, Casper’s not a match for Xander’s at all, and this is a good opportunity to get rid of his enemies.
After all, we must always be vigilant of others.”
Besides the few people who knew Caspian, everyone else was doubtful whether Caspian would come.
After all, although they were in the same sect, one could not help but overthink when the benefits were obvious.
Furthermore, several disciples trapped in the Clear Lake’s Moon-Locking Formation were Caspian’s competitors in the spiritual apprentice list.
Therefore, if something terrible happened to them, no one could threaten Caspian’s ranking.
Then, most of the resources would belong to Caspian, and his journey to immortality would be much easier.
As such a temptation was definitely attractive, some of the disciples believed it was hard to trust Caspian because there was no knowing what he was thinking.
They were doubtful that Caspian was coming to the rescue.
