Due to the failure of the White Emperor Sect’s task, both the White Emperor Sect and the Yuqing Sect’s teams withdrew from the battle, while so Hell creatures were drawn into the area they had previously cleared.
In the days that followed, the task of each superpower was to continuously clear out Hell creatures, while slowly advancing to clear the area ahead.
No cultivator was in a hurry to quickly solve the trouble. Once the cultivators realized the danger, their patience beca incredibly intimidating.
Li Yuanba had been feeling a sense of being watched these past few days, but within the Hell Cave Heaven, his perception was greatly affected, and he couldn’t determine where the feeling ca from.
This forced him to set up a protective formation using a Fourth Grade Array Flag every ti he rested, although he wasn’t entirely confident in the formation’s defensive power.
He speculated that the one watching might be Master Qiao from the Yuqing Sect, or perhaps another cultivator trying to assist Master Qiao.
"This can’t go on!" Li Yuanba knew there was no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days, and he had confidence in his own combat power.
If Master Qiao truly wanted to deal with him, the formation created with the Fourth Grade Array Flag wouldn’t be of much use and wouldn’t be able to withstand a full-force attack from a Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivator.
If Master Qiao, consud by hatred and losing his reason, launched a surprise attack, the second base wouldn’t be able to prevent it, as it wouldn’t stop Master Qiao from entering.
Li Yuanba left the base and headed to the tower.
His actions didn’t draw much attention from other cultivators, as many had gone to study the tower in recent days.
The tower’s indestructibility and the complex runes on it attracted many cultivators.
As he left the base, he clearly felt the sense of being watched.
When he arrived at the tower, there were no other cultivators present.
He flicked a small object onto the ground, which disappeared as soon as it landed.
He approached the tower casually, almost pressing against its surface, studying its secrets.
Master Qiao had been waiting for an opportunity; this ti he led a team with another Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivator, but in the end, it nearly resulted in total destruction.
If he returned like this, he feared he’d be locked up for a hundred years and beco a laughingstock among other Great Cultivators.
He couldn’t vent his anger on the monsters in Hell Cave Heaven, as killing those mindless creatures was aningless.
His hatred was focused on Li Yuanba. He didn’t consider the feud between Yuqing Sect and Li Yuanba, which might have led Li Yuanba not to want to help the Yuqing Sect team. After all, whover Li Yuanba chose to help was his own choice.
"It’s all because of you!" Master Qiao muttered to himself.
He looked extrely disheveled, wearing a cloak with an effect that concealed spiritual power and aura, allowing him to remain undetected around the second base.
Using connections within the Yuqing Sect, he enlisted a cultivator from another superpower at great expense to monitor Li Yuanba for him.
Finally, he received the news that Li Yuanba had left the second base alone, which was the best news he’d heard in days.
Soon after, he saw Li Yuanba, just as the reports had described, showing great interest in the tower and examining the runes on it.
Master Qiao moved gently, and the cloak concealing spiritual power and aura continued to be effective at this slow pace.
As he drew closer to the tower, his eyes flickered with murderous intent.
He wasn’t in a hurry; he’d heard the rumors about Li Yuanba’s combat strength, which could rival that of ordinary Great Cultivators.
His identity as the recognized number one at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage also confird Li Yuanba’s combat strength.
Therefore, the best way to take down Li Yuanba was with a single fatal strike, and for that, he needed to close the distance between them.
With his Thunder Cultivator strength, as long as he got within a certain distance, he could instantly kill Li Yuanba.
As a Great Cultivator of the superpower Yuqing Sect, Master Qiao was aware of the weaknesses of super talents like Li Yuanba.
A super talent like Li Yuanba might only erge once in a millennium. Such talents could transcend realms in attack power, but defensively, especially without using defensive magic items, their physical defense fell short compared to Great Cultivators.
As long as the sneak attack succeeded, a single strike could extinguish a super talent like Li Yuanba.
Master Qiao approached cautiously, getting closer to both the tower and Li Yuanba.
When he was a thousand ters away from Li Yuanba, he almost couldn’t resist launching an attack, but Li Yuanba moved, heading to the other side of the tower, denying him a direct hit.
He approached the tower again, entering within a thousand ters of Li Yuanba.
At this point, he stopped. Even through the cloak that shielded spiritual power and aura, he sensed sothing was off.
In the air, tiny particles were suspended. They seed ordinary, but when he extended his Divine Sense, he felt it was affected by these tiny particles.
"Sani Divine Wind!" His heart jolted with realization as he recognized it.
Li Yuanba had deployed ’Sani Divine Wind’, releasing it minimally so that it existed in an almost transparent state.
With the unique property of ’Sani Divine Wind’, entering its range ant each particle of ’Sani Divine Sand’ effectively beca one of Li Yuanba’s sensory organs.
