Chapter 2055 Closing the Net
Knowing the magical powers of the Siyou clan, the arrangements of these aliens are basically clear.
Since the Siyou people and their companion beasts are in telepathic communication and can make the companion beast disappear at any time, it is not feasible to capture the companion beast in advance, as it will alert the enemy. They have to wait until the master actively performs the technique of mutual conversion before they can take action.
In this case, they had to split into two groups, one group to guard here, and the other to force the two Siyou people. Of course, if the Siyou people were unwilling to use the mutual transformation technique and insisted on fighting with them, they would also be happy to see it happen.
Qin Sang and Su Nu looked at each other. It would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for them to separate these alien masters.
However, due to the suddenness of the incident, many of Su Nu's arrangements could not be used, so one had to consider carefully where to start and the timing of the action.
Qin Sang moved his lips slightly and expressed his opinion in a voice transmission.
Su Nu's eyes flashed, "Brother Qin, what you mean is that we should stay here and wait for the two Siyou people to perform the mutual transformation technique and snatch the person away directly? But what if the Siyou people are prepared and do not choose to transform, but try their best to break through from another place, or fail before they can perform the mutual transformation technique, what should we do?"
Qin Sang said, "This is also a helpless move. There are only two of us, and our strength is weak. If we act separately, it is very likely that both sides will suffer. It is better to focus on one side. The Quanfeng tribe acted so cautiously, which shows that the two Siyou tribe members are quite powerful. They will not be defeated so easily. If they can escape again, we just need to continue to keep an eye on the Quanfeng tribe's actions. There will be opportunities in the future."
There is another consideration here. If they act together, they can help each other in case of a crisis. Saving the Siyou people is just to find a guide. If they put themselves in danger because of this, it would be a loss.
Su Nu also figured out the key point and nodded, "Let's follow Brother Qin's advice."
After saying that, she used a few spells on Ji Gua, and together with Qin Sang, they disappeared into thin air.
Not long after they left, Ji Zhao woke up from his dream. His dull eyes gradually became clear again, and he was no longer affected by the magic spell.
But he knew nothing about his previous experiences, as if that period of time had been erased from him. He only remembered saying goodbye to two tribesmen and then coming here smoothly.
His purpose was not to refine any protective treasure, but to obtain a special crystal.
Soon after arriving, he discovered the presence of this kind of crystal stone here. This crystal stone was of great benefit to the Quanfeng tribe's practice, but he was reluctant to do so because he was worried that other tribesmen would become jealous and force him to share the profits. Fortunately, these crystal stones were hidden under the islands and reefs, and their aura was obscured by the spiritual veins, so they were very concealed, and he could find an opportunity to mine them later.
As he learned more and more things during this period, Ji Zhao knew that a major war was likely to break out. Worried that this place would be destroyed, he found an excuse to escape.
He leaned down, his ears trembled slightly, and he dived to the bottom of the sea in a flash. He kept diving along the reefs and finally found a natural cave. He dived in and saw dots of light. There were longan-sized, night-pearl-like crystals inlaid on the cave wall, within easy reach.
Ji Chen did not dare to be careless. Mining crystals would shake the earth veins. As long as a trace of energy leaked out, it might be detected by outsiders. His ears moved again, and as his earlobes trembled, circles of gray ripples spread out and fell towards a crystal. After a moment, the crystal flashed and fell down. Ji Chen took it in his hand. The whole process was silent.
He followed the same method, picking up crystals one by one, feeling extremely happy. He did not stop until he had collected all the crystals. He then cast a spell to explore and found that there were no more crystals in the deep veins of the earth, and that they could only be bred here.
However, he did not return immediately. Since he used the excuse of refining treasures, he had to pretend.
He does have a treasure of this kind that can be controlled by three people together. Its power is decent enough, but it should be able to fool people.
After waiting for a while and calculating that the time was about right, Ji Zhao left the island and reef and dived back to his original place.
Seeing him coming back, the two members of the Quanfeng tribe were relieved and asked, "Have you refined the treasure?"
Ji Zhao responded with a normal expression, took out a black disc, and said, "I'll take care of this, you two brothers, take turns to sacrifice and refine this treasure."
The two were overjoyed and quickly reached out to take it.
Ji Zhao was completely unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching his every move, and even those crystal stones were arranged by others.
As the consciousness seed was stimulated, Ji Zhao returned to his original state. He himself did not feel anything wrong. Even if the strong men of the Quanfeng tribe checked in person, they could not find anything unusual.
Seeing nothing unusual, Qin Sang and Su Nu stopped paying attention to this person and tried to sense the position of the strong man of the Quan Feng clan. After patiently waiting for a long time outside, they did not find the breath of the Refining Void level, which was obviously abnormal.
As a last resort, Qin Sang awakened the Tianmu Butterfly and finally found the structure of the large formation set up by the Quanfeng Clan.
After discussing this, the two of them confirmed that it should not be an extremely powerful locking formation. It would be difficult to cover up all the fluctuations with such a complex spiritual formation, and it would easily alert the two Siyou people.
The large formation they set up was probably just to conceal the spiritual power here and confuse Haitang Academy's means of detection.
As long as they are not immediately discovered during the fight, they can quickly defeat their opponents and retreat calmly. By the time Haitang Academy discovers them, it will be too late to stop them.
After confirming that it was this kind of formation, Qin Sang and Su Nu tried to sneak in. As expected, they were not exposed, but they still did not find the person in charge of the formation.
The person in charge of the formation was probably hiding in a treasure, otherwise he would have nowhere to hide from the Sky Eye Butterfly. Even so, the Sky Eye Butterfly still found something strange, but because they couldn't make a move to test it, Qin Sang and Su Nu could only stare at it.
"Don't worry. When the formation is formed, no matter how well the master hides, a little energy will leak out..."
Qin Sang transmitted the message and waited patiently with Su Nu.
After a few more days, Qin Sang suddenly felt a slight vibration in the void, and at the same time, two obscure auras flashed by. When he was about to look for them, they disappeared without a trace.
If they hadn't been concentrating and on guard, they wouldn't have noticed it.
The Qi was leaking out from the place that the Tianmu Butterfly discovered, and at the same time a faint light flashed.
Qin Sang looked at Su Nu, who had obviously noticed it as well, and said solemnly, "Two masters of the second level of the Void Realm."
Qin Sang nodded, "They should all be in the early stages."
If there were only these two people guarding this place, it should not be difficult for Qin Sang and Su Nu to kidnap the person together, but Qin Sang still did not dare to take it lightly.
His eyes swept across the islands and land below. Countless mortal cultivators lived here, as well as various alien species and monsters. He didn't know which one was the companion beast of the Siyou people, but they only needed to keep a close eye on the two powerful men in the second level of the Void Realm.
Qin Sang and Su Nu cheered up. The formation was complete and it was time to close the net!
……
A towering mountain rises into the clouds, occupying almost half of the island.
There are pines, cypresses, green bamboos and lingering mist in the mountains. It looks like an excellent place for cultivation. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy is a little thin. Apart from a few small sects, most of the people who cultivate here are independent practitioners.
On the east side of the mountain, facing the sea, the terrain is steep and difficult for mortals to climb, but there are clusters of spiritual light.
Each ball of spiritual light is a cave dwelling for individual cultivators. Some of them have luxurious courtyards, and some have already passed down their bloodlines here for generations.
In one of the smaller green lights, there was only a cave dug out in the mountain wall. It looked quite simple. There was a woman wandering in the cave, looking out of the mountain from time to time with an anxious look on her face.
Finally, she saw a green light flying from a distance. The woman's brows relaxed and she hurriedly opened the formation.
The green light fell directly into the cave, revealing a man in green clothes.
The woman took a look and said worriedly, "Husband's breathing is so rapid, are you injured? Take this bottle of Yuxue Powder quickly!"
She took out a jade bottle and raised her hands to her forehead.
"Thank you, madam."
The man in green took the jade bottle, bowed and thanked him, then swallowed the elixir.
Haitang Academy values etiquette, and couples and fellow Taoists treat each other with respect. Although Haitang Academy will not interfere in other people's bedroom affairs, it is a common practice due to the local customs.
After taking the elixir, the man in blue calmed down, bowed again, and took out a wooden box, "Thanks to the bottles of Yuxue Powder that my wife made before, my trip was quite smooth, and I got the Jinxian Flower."
"In this way, Tan'er will hopefully be able to master the Shadow Shape Spell!"
The woman was very happy.
At this time, footsteps were heard from inside. A weak young man was startled and woke up from his meditation. He also saluted meticulously.
"Tan'er greets father! Meet mother."
The woman hurriedly handed the wooden box to the young man and said, "This Jinxian flower was fought for by your father. Tan'er, go and refine it!"
The young man looked at the man in green, thanked his parents, picked up the jade box and returned to the quiet room.
Looking at the young man's back, the woman shed tears: "Although Tan'er failed in the literature list, as long as he can practice the shadow spell, he can still strive for the martial arts list. You and I have no hope of the great road in this life, if Tan'er can enter the academy, I will die without regrets."
The man in blue put his arm around the woman's shoulders with an expression of emotion on his face. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but his expression suddenly froze, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and he suddenly raised his head to look into the sky.
At the same time, the young man who had half a foot stepped into the quiet room stiffened his back, turned around slowly, and had a cold expression, which was very different from before, as if he had become a different person.
"You guys..."
The woman's face was filled with shock, and she suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The father and son didn't even look at her.
"Finally they are here! I didn't expect that they would not let us go even though we hid here!"
The man in blue had a distorted expression and a tone full of resentment. His voice also changed drastically, becoming old and sharp.
The young man said nothing and walked out of the cave. With every step, a grayish aura surged out of his body. His figure became blurred for a moment, and then it was as if he had shed a layer of skin, and another person walked out of the skin.
The skin still looked like a teenager and had the breath of a teenager, but the inside was empty. He collapsed to the ground, all life force gone, and he was completely dead.
The father and son were actually two members of the Siyou tribe. Now that they discovered a powerful enemy was approaching, they had been exposed and there was no need to hide anymore.
The person who walked out of the boy's body was also a boy, with a face as handsome as jade, phoenix eyes, red lips, fair skin, and an extremely handsome appearance, making it difficult to tell whether he was a male or a female.
As the man appeared, the grayish-white aura that was lingering on the boy's skin was retracted and sank into the man's brow. There was a round bead at his brow, which seemed to have been inlaid later. The round bead was clear, and there seemed to be a flow of energy inside, which was quite magical, and it made the man's temperament even more extraordinary.
Another member of the Siyou tribe also revealed his true form. This person had an old face, with a hint of grayness between his brows, but there was no sense of femininity at all from this person.
The two stood in front of the cave and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, clouds came to the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds, as if the sky had been opened and the surrounding sea area was enveloped underneath.
The old man stared for a moment and sighed: "Young Master, the enemy must be well prepared this time. I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst!"
The young man's expression changed slightly. "Why do you say that, Minister Xia! We still have a companion beast outside. The enemy was deceived by our clan's secret technique last time. They must think that our companion beast is dead and will not be on guard. We can still escape if we take advantage of the situation."
"Even if we escape this time, we will never have a companion beast to use again, and the enemy has been keeping a close eye on us. It is only a matter of time before we are imprisoned," said Chamberlain Xia dejectedly.
The young man looked anxious. "They are causing trouble here. We can also lure the experts from Haitang Academy over here..."
"Haitang Academy will not intervene. They will just expel us all, which still won't resolve the crisis."
Xia Changshi had already made up his mind. He waved his hand to stop the young man and said resolutely: "I know that the young master has a kind heart, but only by doing this can the young master escape! The young master must remember that no matter what, the only way to have a glimmer of hope is to stay alive. You must cherish your life!"
After saying this, Attendant Xia bowed deeply to the young man and said, "I have failed my master's trust and cannot continue to serve you. From now on, you will be alone. Please take care of yourself!"
The young man said nothing, bit his lips tightly, and blood gradually seeped from the corners of his mouth.
Xia Changshi sighed, his face showing a resolute look, and waved his sleeves: "Young Master, please follow me to meet the enemy!"
After saying that, he took off into the sky, transformed into a rainbow, and rushed towards the sky.
Above the sky, on top of the sea of clouds, there were two people standing on the clouds, overlooking the world below.
One of them had wolf ears like Ji Zhao, but there were circles of fine lines on his earlobes, like whirlpools, as if they were a passage leading to another space. He was none other than a strong man from the Quanfeng clan.
The people around him were wearing white robes that covered their heads and faces, and it was impossible to tell which tribe they belonged to.
The strong man of the Inufeng clan was named Jiliang. His eyes were like lightning, shooting through the dark clouds towards the forbidden cave, and he sneered, "Have you confirmed that the little one is the young master of the Siyou clan?"
"This is what Elder Quan said himself. Brother Ji, do you doubt Elder Quan's judgment?"
The white-robed man said confidently, "In the Siyou clan, there are distinctions between the noble and the humble, and the superior secret techniques are controlled by the royal family. Since that old man is a regular servant, the person he desperately protects must be of royal blood!"
Yoshira said playfully, "It's a pity that no one has come to the Mist Sea recently. I don't know what happened. The young master of the Siyou tribe ended up in Lanshazhou. But this is our chance. As long as we capture him alive and bring him back to the upper tribe, we will be rewarded generously. How are your preparations, brother? We must win this time. Elder Quan is watching from the side."
