Chapter 520 Missing Home

There will definitely be some discrepancies in estimating the position of the formation's protective shield from the map, but the difference should not be that big.

So there was no need to use any tricks, just use the earth escape technique to run outside.

The result was just as the two brothers had expected. Wu Jinliang, who was moving underground, was soon stopped and encountered an obstacle that his earth escape technique could not break through.

After expanding a small space first, he held the sandalwood flame in one hand to illuminate, and touched the layer in front of him that was a fusion of soil and stone and the invisible barrier force with the other hand, estimating that it should be the protective shield of the large formation.

He did not dare to try to strike with force, so he stepped back a few steps, took out the command arrow given to him by Shi Chun, and cast a spell. Immediately, a ray of golden light popped out from the command arrow, which turned into a virtual wave of light that protected him.

Then he moved forward holding the light shield. As if the lower part of the light shield sank into the ground, when the front pushing part touched the obstacle in front, it actually ignored the barriers of the formation and easily melted into the soil layer in front.

This scene made his heart beat faster. He pressed his hand holding the sandalwood and gold flame energy in front of him and performed the earth escape technique again. He saw the soil layer that was stubborn just now quickly melted and rolled behind him, while he walked forward step by step.

After walking about two meters, he thought he had reached the destination, so the light of the command arrow in his hand dimmed, and he turned back again, using the earth escape technique to return the same way.

Soon, he hit the invisible barrier again. He waved the command arrow in his hand and cast a spell again. With a flash of golden light, the virtual wave light shield reappeared and the earth escape technique was able to move forward again.

After passing through again, Wu Jinliang was overjoyed and found that the boss's guess was correct. There were indeed keys to enter and exit the house in Jin Zhan's relics, and the command arrow was indeed the key.

This is exactly why they want to hide underground and try. On the ground, not only will the magic light on the command arrow be easily discovered, but if someone sees them freely entering and exiting the formation, the consequences will be disastrous.

To prevent any mistakes, he walked back and forth to confirm twice before quickly retreating...

On the other side of the mountain, Shi Chun was standing calmly by a gurgling spring. He had chopped down a piece of wood, peeled and hollowed it out, apparently making a simple large water cup. The surrounding area was picturesque and quiet, with some exotic flowers and plants dotted around.

Not far away, deep in the shade of the woods, Jiang You'er was hiding and paying close attention to Shi Chun's every move. He still didn't believe that Shi Chun suddenly left the group just to fetch water.

Shi Chun, who was trimming with a wooden cup in his arms, suddenly paused. It was nothing else but that he felt the mother-and-child talisman on his belt that was connected to Wu Jinliang move. This was the agreed way of notifying him.

Then he stopped trimming the cup, poured some water directly, raised his head and took a big gulp, poured out the remaining water, and poured another clean cup before turning around and walking back.

Jiang You'er, who was watching secretly, was surprised and suspicious. Was it really just to fetch water?
Suddenly he realized something was wrong. Someone was out of his sight. This instantly reminded him of when Wu Jinliang used the excuse that he was not used to having so many people serving him and did not allow anyone to bring other followers with him when he went out today. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around and sneaked into the woods.

With his cultivation level at the Earthly Immortal realm, one can imagine how fast he can move through the mountains.

He quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and looked towards the target location. He saw Wu Jinliang standing at the edge of the mountain with his hands behind his back, his back still straight as he looked into the vast expanse.

Although the person was there, he still flashed past and landed in front of Wu Jinliang. He looked Wu Jinliang up and down with a vigilant look and found nothing unusual.

"Mr. Jiang..." Wu Jinliang looked back and saw that he had nothing in his hands. He hesitated and said, "That fruit..."

Jiang You'er apologized casually, "I don't know who picked them. I came here in vain. I'm sorry, sorry. I will arrange for someone to pick some of the best fresh spiritual fruits later."

"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Jinliang was also polite, and the chuckle came out involuntarily.

Jiang Youer felt that he was laughing at her, but she had no evidence.

In fact, Wu Jinliang's smile was somewhat meaningful. The "feint to the east and attack in the west" just now was also an attempt. Only those who really knew the identities of the two brothers would focus on Chuntian and be transferred away by Chuntian. This was tantamount to confirming the judgment here that the other party did know their identities.

The two of them turned around and saw Shi Chun coming over with a cup of water. He offered the spring water with both hands and said, "Brother, please have some."

Wu Jinliang hummed, and he really enjoyed the feeling of being served by spring. He put on a lot of airs, took the cup of water and gulped it down. He was satisfied only when the water flowed down his chin. He returned the cup and wiped his chin with his sleeve. "It's clear and sweet. Good water."

Then he put his hands behind his back and looked at the vast green grassland.

Jiang You'er didn't know why he was standing there looking at the place, so he reminded him, "Brother Gao, shall we go somewhere else?"

Wu Jinliang pretended to be here just to wait for him to speak. He shook his head and sighed, "Forget it. Seeing this grassland makes me miss home."

Jiang You'er was a little confused and wanted to ask, what does this grassland have to do with your homesickness?
Fortunately, Wu Jinliang gave the answer himself, waving his sleeves and pointing, "It's vast and far away. I think of my home far away. I've been away for a long time and suddenly want to go home. Wang Ping, let's go, let's go back, let's stop playing and go home."

Then he turned around and bowed to Jiang You'er, saying, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your care over the past two days. I won't say any polite words. I'll report back tomorrow. I'll have to trouble Brother Jiang to take us out again."

"..." Jiang You'er couldn't keep up with this one-shot behavior, was he really leaving or just pretending to leave? Wasn't he heading for the main mountain range? Was he not going there anymore?
This made him doubt his previous judgment.

After a moment of hesitation, he quickly said politely: "Since you are already here, you might as well play more and walk around. This sacred mountain still has many beautiful views." He had already found another way and didn't need to rely on this side anymore. Wu Jinliang was too lazy to be too polite with him. He simply cut the Gordian knot and took out the mother-child talisman that he had just contacted Shi Chun with, and said: "Who doesn't like to play? The key is to be in the mood. I just received a message from home, saying that there is something important that calls us back, and we have to go back."

"..."

The other party refused so bluntly that Jiang Youer was speechless.

Now the only question left is whether to let them go or not.

He was still hesitating about what to say, Wu Jinliang took out a two-in-one mother-child talisman, broke off half of it and handed it to Jiang Youer, "We hit it off right away, Mr. Jiang. With your status and position, you are willing to condescend to entertain us. We are really grateful. How about we keep in touch so that we can meet again later?"

He knew that Shi Chun had set his sights on this man's magic power, but given Shi Chun's current disguise, it was not easy for him to say much, so he had to speak out.

This was exactly what they wanted to do, so Jiang You'er was naturally eager to make friends. He had also made up his mind, so he smiled and nodded as he took it, saying, "I'll contact Lou Xiu and have him pick you up."

Wu Jinliang said hurriedly: "No, no, we are in a hurry, we will leave directly after we get out of the mountain gate, and there is no need to disturb Lou Tixia anymore."

Jiang You'er firmly disagreed and said, "That won't do. Brother Lou handed you over to me personally. If you leave without even saying goodbye, I won't be able to explain. Besides, it won't waste your time. I'll send a message to Lou Xiu. He may arrive at the mountain gate earlier than us, so he won't delay your appearance at all."

Having said that, Wu Jinliang could no longer postpone it and could only watch as Jiang Youer passed the message to Lou Xiu...

The Jihuo Sect's group was treated well and settled directly on the main mountain range in the central area. The sacred mountain also gave them pavilions and towers on a small hill for temporary residence.

After settling all affairs, Qiu Ben walked out of the hall and fixed his eyes on Po Yuan who was drinking tea and waiting for orders in a pavilion.

The Central District Commander Feng Jue has issued an order asking Po Yuan to take care of all matters concerning the Jihuo Sect.

Qiu Ben came straight into the pavilion. Po Yuan glanced at him and drank by himself without any extra reaction.

Qiu Ben also sat down and said frankly: "I want to go to the mountains to observe the qi. How about starting from the north mountain at the entrance?"

Actually, he wanted to find the place where Shi Chun and the others stayed. According to the report from his subordinates about Shi Chun and the other two's entry into the mountain, they should have followed the people from the North Mountain. In addition, from the previous test from Po Yuan's mouth, he knew that there were no other visitors on the main mountain range ahead.

He felt that Shi Chun didn't recognize him, so it would be best for him to go to Beishan in person and take a look.

Po Yuan put down the teacup and said, "As long as Hall Master Qiu thinks it's good, I don't care."

So the two of them got up and left one after another.

Just as the two were about to walk out of the courtyard, they suddenly heard the sound of two women chattering outside the courtyard.

"The two guests from the North District just arrived yesterday, why are they in such a hurry to leave today?"

"How would I know? But that tall guy has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks quite majestic."

"Haha, I heard it's already headed towards the exit. You can't see it even if you want to."

After hearing these discussions, if Qiu Ben still couldn't guess who the so-called tall man was, he would just hit his head against a wall and die.

Those two guys are leaving? Then why did I go to so much trouble and even used the face of the sect leader to get in? Could it be that those two sneaky guys were not coming for the sacred mountain?

Hearing people talking about the guests behind their backs, Po Yuan frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised as to how the handyman here knew the news about the guests from the North District.

Qiu Ben suddenly stopped and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still need to go to the city to buy some ingredients for Guanshan Wangqi. Wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house quickly. He called a few disciples and whispered, "I just heard the news that the target seems to be leaving. Immediately lead people to the exit and notify the people outside to rush to support. Let's stick to the original plan. If it is not convenient to take action, just observe and see what they are going to do. If there is a chance without alerting others, immediately capture the person and pry open their mouths!"

"Yes." The disciples responded in unison.

Immediately, a group of people left quickly and rushed to the exit.

Po Yuan said he wanted to send them off, but Qiu Ben said no, Po Yuan said they couldn't get out without someone to send them off, so Qiu Ben had no choice but to give up...

When Shi Chun and others arrived at the exit, just as Jiang Youer said, Lou Xiu had already led his men to the mountain gate and were waiting there.
