143: Chapter 143 Lesser Five Elements Hidden Spirit Array!

Hearing her clear and organized arrangements, Ye Changge felt a slight warmth in his heart.

He nodded without saying much, merely gently patting Xiao Jin's neck.

The golden giant eagle understood, flapped its wings, and its speed suddenly increased as it sped forward.

At the same time, Ye Changge's Divine Sense remained locked onto the five streaks of light behind him.

Sure enough, the moment he accelerated, those five people immediately urged their flying Spiritual Artifacts, chasing closely behind.

A cold sneer curled onto the corners of Ye Changge's mouth.

Controlling Xiao Jin to fly a bit further, he spotted a location below with steep mountains and dense forests, and slowly descended.

After letting them down, Ye Changge took a stack of Talismans from his Storage Pouch, handed them to Xiao Caiyue, and nodded at her:

"Caiyue, take them and set up the Formation, and conceal your figures well."

Xiao Caiyue took the Talismans, looked down, and felt a slight shock in her heart.

Second-tier High Grade Golden Armor Talismans, Second-tier High Grade Godly Movement Talismans, Second-tier High Grade Concealment Talismans...

These Talismans were each worth a fortune; how could he just casually hand her a whole stack?

She raised her head, looked at Ye Changge, and complex emotions flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"Husband, this is..."

She had vaguely guessed his intentions.

Ye Changge nodded, his expression calm:

"You all hide first, I will go meet them."

"Husband!" Xiao Caiyue hurried forward a step, grabbed his sleeve, and said urgently, "Those are five Foundation Establishment Cultivators! Those who act as Bandit Cultivators are all people who lick blood from the edge of a blade and fight year-round; their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary people at the same level! Although Husband has means, facing five alone is too dangerous! It would be better to follow my plan and use the Formation to circle around—"

Her tone was urgent, but her reasoning remained clear; she was clearly genuinely worried for him.

Ye Changge turned around, looked at her beautiful eyes filled with concern, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He gently held her hand and said warmly: "Caiyue, believe in me."

The four short words were spoken in a calm tone, yet carried an unquestionable certainty.

Xiao Caiyue opened her mouth, wanting to persuade him further.

But meeting those deep, bright eyes, she suddenly found she could not speak.

In that gaze, there was no bravado, no bluffing, only calm confidence.

A mere five Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not worth worrying about.

A complex emotion surged in Xiao Caiyue's heart.

Perhaps... he really could?

Xiao Caiyue took a deep breath and finally nodded.

She held Ye Changge's hand tightly, her voice soft yet solemn: "If Husband is not a match, you must come to my side. Although I am not good at attacking, the Formation I set up can trap an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator for an hour or so."

Ye Changge looked at her, smiled slightly, and nodded: "Alright."

After speaking, he let go of her hand, his figure flickered, and he prepared to face the enemy.

Xiao Caiyue stood in place, watching that figure in the sky, remaining motionless for a long time.

"Sister?" Xiao Yurou called out cautiously.

Xiao Caiyue regained her senses, took a deep breath, and turned to look at her sister and Xiao Zhi, her gaze having recovered its usual gentle firmness: "Set up the Formation."

She raised her hand and waved it, and twelve Formation Flags instantly flew out of her Storage Pouch.

These Formation Flags were pale cyan in color, with complex Talisman patterns embroidered on the flag surface, and spiritual light faintly flowing along the edges; clearly, they were no ordinary items.

Xiao Caiyue formed hand seals, chanting words under her breath.

Her posture was graceful, her water-blue palace dress swaying gently with her movements, and every gesture carried a fluid, cloud-like beauty.

As the spell was activated, the first Formation Flag flew from her hand, precisely planting itself behind a large rock in the southeast.

Following closely were the second, third...

Every time a Formation Flag landed, a faint spiritual light would flash, then disappear into the Void Realm without a trace.

Xiao Yurou and Xiao Zhi watched from the side, eyes glued to the scene, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Although they didn't understand Formations, they could tell that what Xiao Caiyue was displaying now was definitely no ordinary method.

After all twelve Formation Flags were planted, Xiao Caiyue took a palm-sized Formation Plate from her Storage Pouch.

The Formation Plate was circular, white and jade-like throughout, with dense Talisman patterns engraved on the surface, and in the very center was embedded a thumb-sized Spirit Stone.

It was clearly a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!

Xiao Caiyue held the Formation Plate gently in her palm, and her other hand formed seals again.

Streaks of spiritual light shot from her fingertips, sinking into the Formation Plate.

The Talisman patterns on the surface of the Formation Plate lit up one by one, emitting a soft, clear light.

Immediately after, those twelve Formation Flags responded simultaneously!

Invisible ripples spread from the positions of the Formation Flags, intertwining in the air, finally connecting into a single piece to form a transparent light barrier about three zhang in radius, enveloping the three of them.

The moment the light barrier appeared, it quickly dimmed, and after a few breaths, it completely disappeared.

Looking from the outside, this place was empty, with only a few scattered rocks and some weeds; where could there be any people?

Xiao Caiyue slowly exhaled a breath, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

This set of Formations was called the "Small Five Elements Spirit Concealment Formation"; although it was only a Second-tier High Grade Formation, it had unique qualities in the art of concealment.

Once set up, even the Divine Sense of a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator would find it difficult to detect, unless they investigated carefully.

"So amazing!" Xiao Zhi looked at Xiao Caiyue with admiration, her eyes sparkling.

Xiao Yurou also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Changge landed in front of that pile of rocks, his gaze sweeping over, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

With his Divine Sense at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he had actually failed to detect the anomaly here for a moment.

He focused his mind and investigated carefully, only then vaguely perceiving an extremely faint spiritual power fluctuation not far ahead; if one didn't intentionally investigate, it would be almost impossible to detect.

"Caiyue."

Ye Changge called out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Void Realm three zhang away in front of him rippled, and Xiao Caiyue's figure slowly appeared.

Her face was slightly pale, the sweat on her forehead not yet dry; clearly, setting up the Formation just now had consumed quite a bit.

Ye Changge walked up, gently held her hand, channeled a stream of gentle spiritual power into her, and said warmly: "Caiyue, don't hurt your body."

Xiao Caiyue felt that warm, moist spiritual power circulating in her body, and most of her fatigue instantly vanished.

She smiled slightly and shook her head: "Husband, rest assured, I understand. It was just setting up a Formation; there is no big problem."

Ye Changge looked at her firm eyes, knowing she genuinely wanted to help share the pressure for him.

He didn't say anything more, only gently patted the back of her hand.

What he said was also the truth.

With his current strength, as long as it wasn't a Core Formation True Person arriving in person, even if a False Core stage Cultivator came, he could still circle around with them for a while.

If these five people really dared to make a move, he would like to see who was delivering their heads to whom.

Xiao Caiyue retreated back into the Formation, the Formation closed again, completely hiding all traces.

Ye Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cast toward the horizon.

He nodded inwardly.

This set of Formations was indeed quite good; it had nearly deceived even his own Late Foundation Establishment Stage Divine Sense.
