155: Take the initiative

In the valley, Zhou Luo, holding the array plate, released his spiritual sense to quickly survey the terrain and gather the formation.

Behind him, Wang Yuwei was still unconscious.

To be safe, he had even given her a dose of sleeping poison.

This was also to prevent her from discovering his secret.

He planned to let her wake up after Liu Fuchen left.

On the trigram diagram within the white jade array plate, light flowed, then instantly burst forth, covering the surrounding terrain, finally forming a light screen in front of Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo looked at the light screen and manipulated his spiritual brush to begin drawing the array diagram.

The array diagram was quickly completed. Zhou Luo then placed various Formation Materials into the white jade array plate and used Spirit Stones as the formation base.

A moment later, a formation to conceal their figures was complete.

After setting it up, Zhou Luo was physically and mentally exhausted and slumped onto the ground.

Around his neck, the Lingxi Jade glowed slightly, beginning to alleviate his fatigue.

He did not choose to meditate and recover, but instead stared intently at the now quiet dense forest outside the valley.

The battle was over, and Liu Fuchen would soon come over to kill.

He was unsure if this High Grade formation could truly evade the other party's spiritual sense detection.

Not long after, Liu Fuchen, stepping on a blue flag, rushed out from the darkness.

His face was gloomy, and he released his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings.

His powerful spiritual sense swept through, but did not capture Zhou Luo's trace.

"Strange, where did they go?" Liu Fuchen muttered to himself.

He had only taken thirty breaths to deal with that demonic beast; they couldn't have escaped his spiritual sense range.

Unless they had treasures that could conceal their figures.

With this thought, his gaze fell upon the valley below.

Zhou Luo, within the formation, held his breath and dared not make the slightest movement.

Ultimately, Liu Fuchen only glanced at it, then left in another direction, disappearing into the darkness.

Seeing this, Zhou Luo did not relax, continuing to restrain his aura and remain motionless.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Fuchen walked out of the darkness with a frown.

Indeed, he had not left, but was still waiting in the dark.

Although he hadn't captured Zhou Luo's aura due to the formation's presence.

Liu Fuchen still felt they were nearby, so he decided to stay and wait.

"Let's see how long you can last."

Liu Fuchen stood on a tree, surveying the surroundings.

Whatever method the other party used, it couldn't hide them forever.

He had the patience to wait.

Zhou Luo hadn't expected this old fellow to stubbornly stay nearby.

The Spirit Stones for the formation could only last for about a day.

If the other party kept staying, he would have to think of other ways.

An hour later, Wang Tong and others arrived.

"Revered Master, they got away," Wang Tong said respectfully, standing in front of him, his voice slightly trembling.

He was referring to Lin San and the others.

Liu Fuchen, sitting cross-legged on a large rock, said calmly, "Ignore them. Have the other Disciples blockade a ten-mile radius and search."

"Once you find traces of those two, report immediately."

Lin San's escape was within his expectations.

If not for the injuries on his body, he would have chased after them directly.

But precisely because of the hidden danger, if his whereabouts were discovered by the Azure Origin Sect at that time, the gains wouldn't outweigh the losses.

So, he had no choice but to temporarily let them go.

But Zhou Luo and that girl from the Wang Family, he couldn't give up on them.

He might as well use this time to first recover from his injuries.

Wang Tong accepted the order and left.

Next, other Joyful Union Sect Disciples began searching this area, including that valley.

However, even Liu Fuchen couldn't find them, so those Disciples naturally couldn't either.

But if this continued, the spiritual energy in the Spirit Stones would eventually be depleted.

Zhou Luo sat cross-legged beside Wang Yuwei, also beginning to regulate his body and ponder countermeasures.

...

Jiang City.

As the sky gradually brightened, Lin San and others appeared above in a flying boat.

Seeing the familiar city, everyone on the flying boat showed joy at surviving the ordeal.

Only Lin Xin was already full of worry, not knowing what she was thinking.

This time, Lin San had brought a total of over forty Cultivators to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

Among them, almost all the Qi Refining Fifth Layer Cultivators were wiped out, with only a few remaining.

The Qi Training Sixth Level also decreased from ten people to four.

As for the Qi Training Seventh Level, Lin Dong was severely injured, but he at least managed to save his life.

Lin San's spiritual energy was depleted, and he lost his combat ability.

Of the remaining two, one still had combat ability, while the other, severely wounded by Wang Tong, was left behind.

He was likely already in the hands of the Joyful Union Sect by now.

After returning to the manor in Jiang City, Lin San immediately activated the protective formation.

"Lin Fang, you must immediately request reinforcement from the Zhou Family."

In the main hall of the main building, Lin San said with a solemn expression to the only Qi Training Seventh Level Cultivator who still had combat ability.

After this battle, the Lin Family's defense in Jiang City was greatly weakened.

If they didn't request reinforcement in time, they might be targeted by those with ill intentions.

Especially the Lu Family.

They had long wanted to seize this city.

The Azure Origin Sect encourages Immortal Family conflicts, as long as it doesn't affect their annual collection of cultivation resources from these forces.

Once the Lu Family discovers the situation in Jiang City, they will definitely occupy this city without hesitation.

They must prepare early.

Lin Fang nodded and withdrew.

At this moment, Lin Xin walked in.

Lin San quickly got up to greet her: "Third Miss."

"Uncle Lin, please sit," Lin Xin motioned for him to sit.

"Third Miss, I am very sorry about Miss Yuwei's matter," Lin San said apologetically.

Lin Xin pursed her lips and only said, "After the Zhou Family arrives, we'll go look for her again."

"Don't worry, the Zhou Family will definitely arrange for an Elder to come then," Lin San said.

"Mm, I'll have to trouble Uncle Lin with the matters in the city. Be sure there are no disturbances," Lin Xin said coolly.

"You can rest assured about that. As long as this subordinate is still alive, Jiang City will not be in chaos," Lin San said confidently.

...

Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range.

News of the battle on the outermost perimeter last night had already spread among the Cultivators.

This battle was much larger than previous ones, naturally attracting the attention of many Cultivators.

But when they saw Joyful Union Sect Disciples present, they tacitly chose to leave.

In the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, this group of evil sects flying the banner of the Joyful Union Sect was a very powerful force.

Although the Azure Origin Sect had previously carried out an extermination against them.

But a centipede dies but never falls, and after these guys fled to the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, the Azure Origin Sect found it difficult to deal with them.

After all, the area is vast and extremely dangerous, and searching for them requires a lot of energy and Time.

However, it is estimated that news of this place will soon reach the Azure Origin Sect.

Liu Fuchen naturally knew this.

So, after a night of fruitless searching, he personally began to search.

If he still couldn't find them before the Azure Origin Sect arrived, then he would have to give up.

Within the hidden formation, Zhou Luo naturally thought of these things.

But looking at the gradually dimming Spirit Stones, he knew they couldn't last until the Azure Origin Sect arrived.

Right now, he must take the initiative to seek some chance of survival.

Looking at the group of Joyful Union Sect Disciples, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhou Luo's eyes.
