Chapter 58 Going underground
Chapter 58 Going underground
Jiang Qingzi nodded: "Of course there are, but this border was only established three hundred years ago, so there is no large-scale formation blocking it."
"After all, the border is too long. If we want to set limits, we will need an extremely large formation."
"Now, there is only a simple illusion array on this new border. That array can stop ordinary people. Once the cultivation reaches the middle stage of Qi training, it will be able to break through with great force."
Ye Yunqi cast a doubtful look, but Jiang Qingzi understood and said with a smile, "Of course, if you force a breakthrough, it will set off the alert of the formation. When my Jiang family set up the escape plan in the past, we naturally took this aspect into consideration, so we developed a corresponding formation. As long as you hold the formation plate, you can leave without setting off the alert of the formation."
Ye Yunqi nodded upon hearing this. This meant that the Jiang family had made sufficient preparations for their escape in the past.
"Then why did the Jiang family fail in the past?" Ye Yunqi couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Qingzi smiled helplessly: "It was just bad luck. They ran into the border troops patrolling the Demonic Path."
"That's why we evacuated in batches. The information about the border troops patrolling the Demonic Path is too scarce, and no one can guarantee that they won't encounter them."
Ye Yunqi was slightly surprised. Could the border patrol troops of the Demonic Path actually destroy the Jiang family?
So he quickly asked, "What realm are those border patrolling soldiers of the Demonic Path at? Why are they so terrifying?"
Jiang Qingzi shook his head: "Any army that is called an army cannot be judged by realm. Most of the border troops are also in the Qi training realm, but once they are formed into an army, their auras are connected, so they have to be judged by the number of people."
"Besides, the army also needs generals and others, and their cultivation levels are different, ranging from foundation building to Nascent Soul."
"When the patrol team discovered our Jiang family, they did not make it public. They just followed us and passed on the news secretly. By the time the Jiang family reacted, they had already been surrounded by the army..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qingzi sighed softly.
Ye Yunqi said apologetically: "Sorry, Senior Sister."
Jiang Qingzi shook her head: "It's okay. I didn't experience the Jiang family's affairs personally, so I can't say I'm sentimental. Besides, since we are going to retreat, we have to explain these things clearly so that you can be prepared."
Jiang Qingzi looked at Ye Yunqi dimly: "After all, I am still looking forward to meeting you on the right path."
Ye Yunqi nodded: "Let's meet on the right path."
When their eyes met, Ye Yunqi felt his heart skip a beat and he felt a little bit of throbbing.
But he suppressed this slight throbbing.
Jiang Qingzi pursed her lips and wanted to retreat with Ye Yunqi and others.
But Senior Brother Lin Xiao couldn't justify it.
Now an idea suddenly came to my mind.
If the mountains don’t belong to me, then I will belong to the mountains.
Since Ye Yunqi cannot be part of the first group to retreat, why can't I retreat with Ye Yunqi and the second group?
When he thought of this, Jiang Qingzi's heart started beating violently.
I murmured in my heart: Qingzi, ah Qingzi, you are really confused. You...
Shaking his head, Jiang Qingzi took out something that looked like a storage bag from his pocket.
"This is a spirit beast bag. It can be used to temporarily store spirit beasts. I put the big rooster in it. Please keep it safe."
Jiang Qingzi handed over the spirit beast bag.
Ye Yunqi smiled and said, "Senior Sister, just take it with you."
Jiang Qingzi: "This thing is useful to my junior brother, but it is useless to me. It is nothing more than a spirit beast."
Ye Yunqi: "Why push it back and forth? When we meet on the right path, it doesn't matter who leads us."
Jiang Qingzi originally wanted to say, what if this first group of people ran into the patrol team?
But at the end, he swallowed the words back. "Okay, let's talk about it when we get to the right place." Jiang Qingzi said, and then he wanted to say goodbye and was about to leave.
Ye Yunqi suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Senior Sister, do you have a formation to block spiritual consciousness?"
Jiang Qingzi was slightly stunned: "Yes, but it targets spiritual consciousness, which is for the foundation-building stage. Although I can barely arrange it, I can't condense it into an array."
"No need for a formation plate." Ye Yun stood up and brought Jiang Qingzi to the front of the tunnel.
"Sister, I dug a basement earlier to hide in. Now that the storm is coming, I decided to use the basement."
Jiang Qingzi became interested: "Shall we go down and take a look?"
The two of them walked slowly down the tunnel to the basement, one in front and one behind.
Arriving at the basement, Jiang Qingzi calculated and said, "Junior brother, you have done a great job. This basement is more than three meters underground. It is difficult to explore even for a foundation-building master. The only thing you are worried about is the cave entrance being scanned by divine consciousness?"
Ye Yunqi nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qingzi lit a fire to illuminate the basement, then pointed to another exit and asked, "What about this exit?"
Ye Yunqi said: "This is the path leading to the mountain, for evacuation."
Jiang Qingzi smiled and said, "Since you are going to use the basement now, why do you need to leave an exit to your room?"
"If something unexpected happens and someone searches your house, even my formation won't be able to stop the consciousness of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator."
"Why not fill up the passage in the house and leave only this passage in the mountain? I will then set up a formation for you. Even if someone wants to search, the mountain is vast and their spiritual awareness is scattered, so they will be blinded by my formation."
Ye Yunqi suddenly realized: "Is there such a saying?"
Jiang Qingzi: "After all, you don't know much. The larger the spiritual consciousness is spread, the lower its strength will be. If it is condensed, the strength will naturally be stronger. Some spiritual consciousness attack methods are to condense into fine needles."
"The same principle applies to searching. Can the use of spiritual consciousness to scan a room be the same as the use of spiritual consciousness to scan a mountain?"
Ye Yunqi thought secretly that the common sense of the world of immortal cultivation has always been his weak point, and he really needs to make up for it in the future.
Nodding, he said, "Just as Senior Sister said!"
Jiang Qingzi did not refuse, and took out something from the storage bag to prepare for the arrangement, saying: "This formation will take a long time, you should go out first. There is no need to wait here and disturb me."
Ye Yunqi had also learned about formations, and knew that setting up a formation required full concentration. In particular, this formation needed to deal with the consciousness of the foundation-building period, which was already Jiang Qingzi's limit, so naturally he could not tolerate any interference.
So Ye Yunqi left the basement and waited for news from Jiang Qingzi.
Ye Yunqi originally wanted to practice, but he couldn't concentrate, so he simply called all the concubines.
In the main hall, Su Muyao looked around and asked curiously, "Master, where is the Qing Zi Immortal?"
Su Yao was naturally interested in the immortal's visit, but he only saw people coming but not leaving, so he became curious.
Ye Yunqi replied: "The Immortal is doing something in the basement. Let me tell you first."
"Something big may be happening in the sect now, so I plan to have us all hide in the basement. No changes will be made outside, and everything will remain as usual."
"We'll leave from the basement when this is over and everything is safe."
Ye Yunqi said this, and added in his heart: But leaving at that time means going to the right place.
