The spring breeze, mingling with a continuous drizzle, descended upon the undulating mountains, stirring up layers of mist that seed to stretch endlessly.
And if one were to look down from the mountain peak, they would see a grand spectacle of a sea of mist churning like the rolling waves of the ocean.
Within the mist, two figures appeared one after the other.
"Brother Cheng, is that Profound Volu Mountain?" Chu Yanqing asked through transmission.
Her gaze also pierced through much of the mist, seeing a white, mist-shrouded mountain peak.
However, the mist around that mountain was even denser, making visibility very low; even cultivators couldn’t see clearly.
"Yes, that’s the place. I didn’t expect the mist to be so thick in the spring!" Ye Jingcheng nodded, not anticipating such dense mist in the distance.
But precisely because of this endless white mist, it was more likely that the Zhang Family’s teleportation array was hidden within.
How did the Ye Family conceal their teleportation array?
Wasn’t it also by creating heavy rain and dark clouds to prevent transmission fluctuations from being detected?
"Wait for the mist to clear a bit before using the Star Illusion Eye, it might be too forced to use it now," Ye Jingcheng advised.
Then he led Chu Yanqing forward.
The thick mist didn’t only bother Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing; without a Spiritual Eye, other cultivators couldn’t see clearly either.
This provided an opportunity for Ye Jingcheng and Chu Yanqing to get closer.
Moreover, Ye Jingcheng estimated that on Infinite Mountain, the Zhang Family was most likely to have only Purple Mansion cultivators.
Golden Core True Masters were more likely to be stationed at Yong’an Mountain or the Extre West Desert Sea.
So he gauged his Divine Sense range to advance as much as possible.
When they reached the limit of Ye Jingcheng’s cautious Divine Sense range,
he took out a piece of Shadow Wood from his breast.
Seeing this, Chu Yanqing was also curious.
She knew of Shadow Wood but was unaware of its special functions. Most artifact refiners used Shadow Wood to refine concealnt magical artifacts.
And indeed, Ye Jingcheng proceeded to carve and plant the wood.
Using Shadow Wood to replace another Spirit Wood.
He then employed a secret technique,
transforming the Shadow Wood into a Shadow Wood Puppet.
This Shadow Wood was collected by the Ye Family in recent years, with only three pieces, all now in Ye Jingcheng’s possession.
Once refined into a Shadow Wood Puppet, its spiritual energy would be concealed and it could monitor Profound Volu Mountain.
Although due to the distance and heavy mist, its effectiveness might not be great.
But this way, they wouldn’t alert the enemy and could keep an eye on whether the array had been relocated.
After setting up the Shadow Wood, Ye Jingcheng exhaled a long breath.
Then Ye Jingcheng infused the Shadow Wood with Treasure Light to make it grow faster, making it less noticeable.
After completing these tasks, Ye Jingcheng withdrew with Chu Yanqing to a further distance.
The heavy mist only dissipated significantly by the afternoon. A tardy sun finally shone upon the lofty mountains.
Countless leaves, wet with mist, glistened with radiant light.
Yet Profound Volu Mountain remained shrouded in mist, impenetrable and inscrutable.
At this ti, the two had finished setting up their array, and Chu Yanqing began to use the Star Illusion Eye.
Accompanied by a starlight, Chu Yanqing finally saw through the dense mist.
"Inside, there’s no one, and there are many Fog Grass Flowers!" Chu Yanqing shook her head and spoke.
"Hmm, no need to look further; the teleportation array should be underground!" Ye Jingcheng replied.
The likelihood that the teleportation array was inside the mountain was high.
Currently, Chu Yanqing’s Star Illusion Eye was only at a minor achievent; seeing through the mist was already an impressive feat.
Seeing through the array and the mountain itself was very difficult.
But the abundance of Fog Grass Flowers already signified much.
After all, this mountain shouldn’t naturally support so many Fog Grass Flowers.
The Fog Grass Flowers are spiritual flowers, and unless the Zhang Family had plans on the mountain, there was no reason to invest such effort in planting them.
Apart from producing such miasma, Fog Grass Flowers had no other use.
"No, there seems to be a ravine and an entrance atop!" Chu Yanqing suddenly spoke.
"Soone’s coming out from the inside!" Just then, Chu Yanqing quickly withdrew her gaze.
In front of Ye Jingcheng, a Shadowless Bowl flipped over, enveloping the two.
Their figures vanished without a trace.
...
In the distance, two figures flew out of Profound Volu Mountain. One, slightly chubby, paused and looked around suspiciously, but his Divine Sense found nothing.
"Yuqing, did you notice anything?" another figure asked.
"Strange, I felt like soone was watching just now!" Zhang Yuqing said, shaking his face in bewildernt.
"You an when you left the valley?" the other figure asked, just as puzzled.
"Yes, the miasma grand array should block Divine Sense from peering in. You know, my neck bears Celestial Essence Jade, extrely sensitive to Divine Sense and eye power!"
"Yuquan, could it be that Qinghe Sect, as ntioned by the ancestor, has co?" Zhang Yuqing asked.
"Possibly, given that the Wan Family was exterminated recently. Let’s inspect, but not too thoroughly. If they do co to the mountain, the arrays inside will surely leave them with a bitter taste!" Zhang Yuquan transmitted back.
Their gazes imdiately tinged with depth.
The two navigated their Spiritual Ship around Profound Volu Mountain, flying in a circle before heading away.
...
Once they were far away, hidden amid the mountain forest, a transparent Spirit Bowl quietly covered them.
Chu Yanqing looked at Ye Jingcheng, clearly asking if they could leave now.
