Even one extra man killed was one less foe for them to fight after all. So the rapid activation of traps was not a loss. Optimally, they would have activated them in sequences and according to the best situation so that a better effect was obtained.

But that was clearly not an option now.

"DAMN THE SOUTHERNERS PIGS!" The Dao Treading realm elder shouted in rage.

The commanders looked on in anger as well, trying to figure out the next course of action.

Around twenty percent of their soldiers had been killed just now. This was a massive number as many armies's stopped fighting once the number of soldiers on one end fell to less than seventy percent.

Of course, this was usually the thing for mortal armies and not for cultivators, but it was still a large enough number to make a massive difference in the final outcome. After all, the northern tribes were effectively going against a population many times higher than theirs.

Even a minor loss might become dangerous for them in the long term. And while they were prepared to lose them in the battles, it was basically a waste now, since this was no battle.

It was a shame for them to see their men fall without even having to fight. And there was no army in front of them to fight either.

"How did they find out about the passage?!" The elders couldn't believe their eyes.

"The Juniors! Did they end up revealing it to someone hidden?" They wondered.

And that was exactly what had happened. But they didn't know that Lin Mu had learned more about their plans and was ready for exactly that.

One of the council members flew up and looked around, trying to see if there was anyone nearby.

'If they activated the formations just now, there must be someone nearby. They would have to know the exact time to do that so it was definitely not an automatic activation.' The council member thought.

Meanwhile, the other Dao Treading realm cultivator who had thrown the bone stake and broken the formations was now setting up his own formations. He threw out several flags and scattered some dust in the air.

The dust was pitch black and looked like ground up coal. But at the same time, it looked a little liquid seeing how it floated in the air.
