"Indeed, it’s Hu Yiqiu."
The old man in hemp clothes slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Looking at the direction he’s heading, it should be where Sang Zhenye and his wife are trapped. It seems there’s sothing special about this Changlin Academy’s identification token, being able to lock onto their position through a spatial path formation!"
"Old Qiu, should we launch the attack now?"
Lu Buping asked softly.
"What’s the hurry?"
The old man in hemp clothes glanced at Lu Buping, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Attack now? I can handle three late Integration Realm cultivators; can you handle the rest?"
"With just us, let alone charging into the academy, even the maze formation in the valley is enough to give us a hard ti. If they cooperate with the maze formation, they could very well wipe us all out in that valley. If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!"
Lu Buping’s face changed slightly, but he said nothing in rebuttal.
This Old Qiu was a special existence in their Sect. Even the old Sect Master at the Integration Realm Peak treated him with respect, and he himself was a strong late Integration Realm cultivator, not soone Lu Buping could afford to offend.
"Old Qiu, when will my great-grandfather and the others arrive?"
Sun Zheqi glanced at Lu Buping, shook his head at him, and then turned to the old man in hemp clothes.
"The old Sect Master went to visit a friend. If he is willing to help, our action this ti will be foolproof!"
Old Qiu responded politely, unlike his treatnt of Lu Buping.
"Then let’s wait a bit longer!"
Sun Zheqi nodded slightly.
...
In the high sky to the southwest of Changlin Academy.
Hu Yiqiu was flying rapidly, and after covering a thousand miles, he suddenly descended and landed in a dense forest.
"Kid, the rest is up to you! Be careful, if it’s unfeasible... just protect yourself!"
Hu Yiqiu looked seriously at Jiang Chen, his eyes betraying his concern.
"Master, I understand, don’t worry!"
Jiang Chen nodded heavily, speaking with a light smile.
Hu Yiqiu glanced at Jiang Chen, but there was not a trace of relief in his eyes.
Although Jiang Chen’s gaze was incomparably clear and his words were exceptionally sincere, Hu Yiqiu knew that this guy had a chivalrous heart!
While he wouldn’t be the kind of person to leap into heroics, if his friends were in trouble, he would definitely stand up for them. Even though he never spoke much about emotions, he was a deeply emotional person.
In the past, rely due to the death of Shadowless Sword Emperor, he dared to harbor sches against the Wu Family. Now, with two teachers who had beco akin to daily companions in trouble, how could he possibly abandon the rescue?
Yet, it is precisely because of his deep emotions that we treat him as one of our own!
With a complex look, Hu Yiqiu glanced at Jiang Chen, saying no more words of comfort, rely giving his shoulder a heavy pat before disappearing into thin air.
Watching the direction where Hu Yiqiu disappeared, Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
He was well aware of Hu Yiqiu’s concern, but he couldn’t possibly abide by Hu Yiqiu’s advice. A man must know what to do and what not to do. If his teachers were in danger, and he had the ability to rescue them yet dared not go, how could he live up to their imasurable guidance!
Taking out the identification token, Jiang Chen examined it with his divine sense, a glimr flashing in his eyes, and his figure darted towards the east side of the forest.
After hastily advancing about a hundred miles, Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks, frowning slightly.
Several faint auras erged ahead, and Jiang Chen keenly sensed that each of these auras was stronger than his own, these powerful presences were not holding back their auras at all, but rather letting their Great Dao aura weave into a massive web, enveloping a ten-mile radius, with spatial path auras emanating from within.
"Using people as a formation? So people can even use such a thod of formation setup?"
Jiang Chen squinted slightly, a faint halo erging from his body, enveloping him and isolating all his aura fluctuations.
He didn’t extend his divine sense to check, although those auras were far away, Jiang Chen could sense the powerful fluctuations within. Those people were probably at the Void Refinent Realm, and if he extended his divine sense to probe, he would easily be discovered.
Stepping cautiously forward, Jiang Chen gradually approached bit by bit.
When he could see the other side’s Great Dao Divine Light with the naked eye, Jiang Chen halted his steps.
From the Dao Rhythm perception, Jiang Chen could sense that the front was filled with divine sense; these people hadn’t completely spread out their divine sense, but kept it within a one-mile radius around themselves, thus preventing any passing cultivators from detecting it while thwarting anyone from sneaking in covertly.
Cultivators, after condensing Dao Rhythm, can use it to cover their aura. Thus, if the probing divine sense isn’t solid enough, or the prober’s Great Dao comprehension is inferior, detecting the other’s approach becos rather difficult.
Now, with those people retracting their divine sense to a one-mile range, it was far too solid for Jiang Chen to continue approaching.
A mile away.
Over ten Void Refinent Realm experts radiated white Great Dao Divine Light, that directly prying through the mist, lending strength to a ten-mile area enveloped in white mist in front of them, while waves of fire path, ice path, sword dao aura, and pure spiritual power emanated from the mist, converging into a stream of energy, feeding back into these people.
The three types of Great Dao aura were excluded by these people, yet the pure spiritual power was absorbed into them.
This cycle ensures that as long as the white mist remains, these ten or so people will never run out of spiritual power!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Suddenly, a tiless and ancient aura swept in from a mile away, instantly covering the area and penetrating the mist.
"Who’s there!?"
"Changlin Academy conducting business here, unrelated people step back imdiately!"
"Leave at once, or face execution without rcy!"
Over ten cultivators’ expressions shifted, simultaneously shouting loudly.
"Changlin Academy conducting business here, unrelated people step back imdiately!"
"Please, everyone give my Changlin Academy so face!"
As those cultivators shouted, voices rang out beyond the ten-mile misty area, indicating the presence of more than a hundred cultivators around the periter!
Hearing the chorus of shouts ahead, Jiang Chen’s face darkened instantly.
These bastards!
Using a grand formation to trap academy elders, yet still using the academy’s na to deter passing cultivators from approaching easily, what a cunning tactic!
