"It's not that I intentionally hid it from you, but I really don't know." Peng Yukui shook his head, "Only Master Qianhuan knows it, and no one else in the mountain has a clue."
"So, Bai Ziqi went into the mountain to investigate this formation?"
"I don't know how the news leaked out, so Tiangong sent Bai Ziqi here."
He Lingchuan was dumbfounded: "I'm not saying this in hindsight, but aren't your protection of the formation a bit... lax?"
"Have you ever been to Baimao Mountain, Master Heda?"
He asked suddenly, and He Lingchuan didn't even blink: "I've been there."
And it's reality once, Panlong World again.
"Then you know that Baimao Mountain is a vast territory. Putting hundreds of thousands of people there is just a drop in the ocean, and the thirty-odd formation pillars are extremely scattered." Peng Yukui's face was as dark as water, "Anyway, that formation has been deactivated. Xiaoyao Sect was surprised at first.
After studying it for a while, I didn’t pay much attention to it, but Bai Ziqi took advantage of it and went into the mountain. Not only did he find the center of the formation, he even activated the formation!"
"What?" He Lingchuan stood up and became excited, "He can actually activate Qianhuan Zhenren's formation? How much strength does that require!"
His surprise was not fake.
"Longshou Mountain is the place where the Dragon God fell. Several immortals judged that Qianhuan Zhenren's formation techniques are probably related to this. If Bai Ziqi works hard in this area, it may not be impossible." Peng Yukui said, "But you said
You're right, restarting the formation requires extremely strong strength!"
He Lingchuan murmured: "What exactly does he want to do when he activates the formation?"
"Do what the demon has always done: harm the immortals in the Cave Paradise!" Over the past thousands of years, spiritual energy has declined, and the surviving immortals are all in the cave. The demon caught them one by one.
"You mean, he can track the cave of Qianhuan Zhenren through the formation?"
"It's not impossible." Peng Yukui paused before saying, "Tiangong has its own way of tracking down the Immortal Cave."
He Lingchuan nodded: "I understand. So, Mr. Peng came to Tianshui City to...?"
"Bai Ziqi is following Qianhuan Zhenren, so we will follow him! But this guy is very slippery. We fought several times but failed to capture him. As a result, he fled all the way south into Yao Kingdom."
He Lingchuan was moved: "Mr. Peng chased him until...?"
"The Tomb of Thousand Stars in the North."
He Lingchuan calculated the location in his mind, and it was so far away. "Qianhuan Zhenren's cave should not be there, but Bai Ziqi's general direction is correct. This person is really powerful."
Pursuing the whereabouts of immortals, such an illusory thing, was actually fulfilled by Bai Ziqi.
It can also be seen from this how the Heavenly Palace opened the Immortal Cave in the past.
No wonder Lingshan attaches great importance to Bai Ziqi's actions, as if facing a formidable enemy.
He Lingchuan looked at the strong man Maogong behind Peng Yukui again: "Mr. Peng, are you two alone tracking Bai Ziqi?"
When Bai Ziqi came to the Shining Gold Plains, there were certainly many strong men around him. These two visitors from Lingshan could chase them everywhere, and their strength must be off the charts.
"We still have nineteen people, all outside the city." Peng Yukui said sternly, "If Bai Ziqi doesn't ask Yao Guo for help, we will be able to capture him!"
This sentence contains a lot of information. Looking at his calm and confident attitude, He Lingchuan made a test question:
"Bai Ziqi was born as a lantern keeper, and his methods of controlling lanterns are ever-changing. He also has several powerful lanterns himself."
He Lingchuan personally learned about Bai Ziqi's lantern spirit.
Peng Yukui smiled slightly: "He has the treasure of the demon, and we also have the methods of the immortal family."
Without waiting for He Lingchuan to speak, he continued: "We have experienced Tiangong's methods more than once or twice, and we know what they are doing."
The entanglement between Tianmo and Lingshan has lasted for more than two thousand years. They know better than other forces what methods each other has, at least better than He Lingchuan.
"Do you plan to deal with Bai Ziqi in Yao Kingdom?"
Peng Yukui nodded: "This person cannot be kept. Congratulations to the island master, I hope you can assist us in the mountains."
He Lingchuan pondered.
The Yao Kingdom is a powerful country on the Shining Gold Plains, with considerable strength. It will not be easy for Lingshan to kill Bai Ziqi here. What's more, the entire Yao Kingdom believes in Miao Zhantian, so of course they will provide shelter to Bai Ziqi.
With dozens of people fighting against the state machine, Lingshan didn't dare to be so big-hearted, so he had to come to He Lingchuan.
It is difficult to kill Bai Ziqi by force, but it is different if there is an insider.
In terms of his understanding of Tianshui City and the situation in Yao Kingdom, Lingshan could not find a more suitable candidate than He Lingchuan at the moment.
"As a reward for your temporary help, Yamanaka is willing to give you a divine weapon."
He Lingchuan was startled: "Sacred weapon? Can it still be used now?"
Not mentioning the Fusheng knife in his own hand, nor the large square pot in the Panlong Desert, but only the Seven Fortunes Treasure Wheel taken out by Lu Xun, his ancestor of the Lu family, in the Panlong World, he was very envious.
However, few ancient artifacts have survived to this day, and the reasons are obvious.
"Of course you can, but the energy consumption is too huge and there is a time limit." Peng Yukui said, "But a few days later, the emperor's fluid erupted again, this time on an unprecedented scale. As long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually becomes abundant, the threshold for using the artifact will also become higher and higher.
The lower.”
To put it simply, a spiritual weapon or artifact that could not be used before may be able to be used after the spiritual energy is abundant - if it is not broken by then.
Otherwise, no matter how great the gimmick of the artifact is, it is just a decoration if it is not used. How could He Lingchuan go through fire and water for a decoration?
Peng Yukui added: "It just so happens that Bai Ziqi has just left Tianshui City, and there are only a few dozen riders around him. Now should be a good time to kill him."
In Tianshui City, Bai Ziqi's surroundings were tightly protected, making it difficult for anyone to attack.
But once he left the city and walked onto the mountain road, it was different.
He Lingchuan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Peng said earlier, how many times have you fought against Bai Ziqi?"
"Three times, killed five of his people."
"Then he probably knows that you guys have followed him into the country, so why would he let down his guard?" He Lingchuan knew a little about Bai Ziqi, "His people are full of thieves. Maybe this is a trap. Once you go to snipe, dozens of people will be killed."
The number of mounted guards has turned into hundreds of riders. Not only are they equipped with vitality, but there must also be experts among them."
Peng Yukui and Maogong looked at each other, and the latter frowned: "Maybe?"
Just because of the word "uncertain", they would give up the opportunity to intercept Bai Ziqi?
"You can try it if you want. I won't stop you, but you have to be prepared to fail." He Lingchuan analyzed, "He was driven all the way to Yao Kingdom by you, and now he dares to leave Tianshui City. Who do you think lends it to him?"
His courage?"
There was another reason he didn't mention: Bai Ziqi inspected the Tianshui eastward expansion project yesterday and told him that he was going to Mangzhou to investigate the case.
He Lingchuan didn't even ask, why did Bai Ziqi take the initiative to explain the itinerary?
Was he trying to lure He Lingchuan into action?
If He Lingchuan is Emperor Jiuyou, of course he hopes to kill him on the way, otherwise once Bai Ziqi finds useful clues in Xiaotao Villa and returns to Tianshui City, He Lingchuan will be in bad luck.
If Peng Yukui and Mao Gong chased him at this time, they would most likely hit someone's knife edge.
When Maogong was about to speak, Peng Yukui raised his hand to interrupt, and then said: "What the Island Master He said makes sense. So when is the best time to take action?"
He Lingchuan's face was serious: "Well, Mr. Peng, let me think twice."
"Okay, but please do it as soon as possible." In Peng Yukui's view, He Lingchuan would certainly carefully assess the risks of this matter.
Sniping and killing the Tiangong Duyun envoy was an earth-shattering event everywhere, not to mention that the Yao Kingdom was still within the sphere of influence of the Lingxu Gods. Of course He Lingchuan would think about himself first.
He didn't refuse, so he was very considerate.
He Lingchuan asked again: "By the way, do Bai Ziqi recognize you two?"
"We were not the ones who took action before." Peng Yukui said, "We have never met him, otherwise we would not be able to come to you openly."
So He Lingchuan said: "Tianshui City is a bit chaotic now. Mr. Peng lives in Yongquan Villa. I can ask you for advice if I have anything to do."
Peng Yukui readily agreed.
An inn is just an inn. Even if you stay in a Tianzihao room, you won't be as comfortable and comfortable as this large manor. What's more, it will be more convenient to stay at Yongquan Villa, exchange information with He Lingchuan, and plan actions.
"Let's go and have breakfast first!" He Lingchuan stood up first, "I heard that there were pan-fried cakes this morning, and the peanuts in them were grown by myself in my village. By the way, the newly hired cook is very good at cooking, especially in cooking.
Desserts are top notch.”
His smile was very contagious, making the guests across from him relax subconsciously. Peng Yukui also smiled: "Okay, but it's disrespectful."
The two of them walked towards the Qingxin Hall, which was dedicated to He Lingchuan's daily life, followed by Wan Qifeng and Maogong.
Peng Yukui saw that He Lingchuan's eyes were slightly bloodshot: "I heard that the owner of He Island plays an important role in the Tianshui eastward expansion plan."
He Lingchuan rubbed his eyes: "Nowhere, I have no title and no salary, so I can only talk. Others do the serious work."
Peng Yukui was curious and asked some more details about Tianshui City's eastward expansion. He Lingchuan answered them one by one, enthusiastically and candidly.
As soon as we sat down at the table, breakfast was served in the same manner. It was already very cold in Tianshui City in late autumn, and white steam could even be breathed out in the morning, so the kitchen kept heating beef soup. Before He Lingchuan and the guests served the noodles,
It will be cooked, and then poured with hot soup, the aroma will overflow.
Of course, this bowl of beef noodle soup is just the base. There are also six kinds of snacks and sweets on the table.
Thinking about the soaring prices outside and the difficulty of food for refugees, it is actually a luxury to be able to sit here and eat a bowl of delicious beef soup.
Peng Yukui and Peng Yukui chased them to Tianshui City without taking any serious rest along the way. After half a bowl of hot soup noodles, they were all wet.
He Lingchuan saw that their expressions relaxed and then asked:
"By the way, where did you start tracking Bai Ziqi?"
"It's a small town at the foot of Baimao Mountain." Peng Yukui told the truth, "They were killing people on the mountain to watch the formation, and the Xiaoyao Sect didn't even see their faces. But I was lucky enough to spot Bai Zi before they left the town.
