Chapter 252
"That makes sense. The best thing about us at that time was that we had a lot of people. Unlike the ascended monks, they had to fight alone and were too weak." Situ Tinglang interjected.
"We all know what they said. Now we need to think about how to lure out that force. I estimate that many local forces are involved. The Black Mine alone cannot swallow it."
"Brother Mo Yu is right. How about we...we disguise ourselves as newly ascended monks?" Mo Jian's eyes lit up and he spoke.
"This method might work!" Mo Yu glanced at everyone and said, "Jiahui, Nangong, how about you two disguise yourself? We will have someone to follow you, so there will be no accidents."
Gu Jiahui smiled and said, "No problem, but I think we can act separately. We can't act alone in Feisheng City. It would be best to find out where this force belongs to, and also check the list of monks who have ascended from the spirit world."
Gu Shihan nodded, "Okay, you three will form a group and split into two groups, one in the open and two in the dark, so you can cover each other. This way it's safe."
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Shi Qinghan asked.
"Xingbai and I will check the list of ascended monks. Don't worry, everything will go smoothly with Xingbai here. Everyone knows his abilities, and if worst comes to worst, there's still Yutong!" Gu Shihan said confidently.
"Shi Han, your strength is the highest among us. I have complete confidence in you. We all believe in Xing Bai's ability. We'll say goodbye now. If you have anything, please contact me through the jade talisman." Situ Tinglang said seriously.
The nine people then parted ways. Gu Shihan and Xing Bai went to the nearest Yao Ri Ascension Palace. After some inquiries, they did not find any records about the spiritual world. However, there was information about ascension from other continents. Is it possible that no one has ascended to the spiritual world yet?
"Hanhan, there's nothing here, so let's go check out other places. However, three people from other continents have ascended to heaven in the past half month. Do you want to check where they went?"
"Okay!" Gu Shihan and Xingbai entered Feisheng Village. It was good to have Xingbai there, as they soon found out the whereabouts of several people.
Two of them had some background and were picked up by people sent by their families after they ascended to the sky. Only one, named Lin Feng, disappeared after staying in the Feisheng Village for three days.
Xing Bai also got the information about Lin Feng, an ascended cultivator from Tengyue Continent, whose cultivation was in the early stage of Mahayana, a cultivator with fire spiritual roots, and very good aptitude.
"He's nowhere to be found and his future is uncertain!" Gu Shihan sighed and planned to leave Feisheng Village.
"Hanhan, follow these two people. I just heard them talking about Mopan Mountain. They also said that they needed more manpower. It would be embarrassing if the mission was not completed. There seems to be something wrong with these words put together!" Xingbai muttered.
"Xingbai, could you please find out where Mopan Mountain is?"
"Okay!" A faint white light flashed, and the person disappeared. Gu Shihan found a teahouse and sat down, listening attentively to the conversation of the tea drinkers.
Not long after, Xingbai came back and told the location of Mopan Mountain.
Gu Shihan and Xingbai quietly rushed to Mopan Mountain. When they arrived at Mopan Mountain, they found that there was a faint black gas permeating the mountain.
This Mopan Mountain is indeed shaped like a millstone, but it looks very desolate. The whole mountain seems to be cursed, and there is not a single decent tree.
There are only some sparse weeds and shrubs growing there, which is nothing compared to the lush greenery in other places.
"Hanhan, if you look carefully you will know why!" Gu Shihan looked over intently. This sight frightened her and she said in surprise, "Formation!"
"Yes, someone has set up an illusion array and a maze here. Even if someone comes here, they will either be sent out by the maze or never get out." Xing Bai nodded.
Gu Shihan examined it carefully and said, "This formation is only at the fourth level. Is there no one who can break it?"
"Hanhan, what kind of person is needed to set up a fourth-level immortal formation?"
"A celestial being should be able to do it! Yes, only a celestial being can set up and break a fourth-level immortal formation. In a place where even human immortals are rare, it's really not easy to see through the formation. Could it be that a celestial being set up this formation? Why?"
Just as Gu Shihan was wondering, he suddenly heard a noisy sound.
The two of them carefully hid their bodies and looked over, only to see two gray-robed monks escorting two listless people to the front of the mountain. One of the gray-robed men took out a wooden sign and pressed it into the depression on the rock.
"Let's go!" Another man pushed the escort roughly, cursing, "How dare you have evil intentions towards Miss Xinxin? You are just a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and you don't even know who Miss Xinxin belongs to. You deserve this disaster if you don't know the current situation."
"Qi San, don't say such things anymore. Be careful if someone hears you and gets you into trouble. They are not people without foundation!"
"I understand. Brother Wu, you are just too cautious. With Mr. Kuo protecting me, who should I be afraid of? But you are right. Less trouble is worse than more trouble. We just need to do our own things well and get more people for Mr. Kuo, and then the immortal stones will continue to flow."
The two of them entered the formation, and Gu Shihan and Xing Bai followed closely. Qi San looked around hesitantly and frowned.
"Qi San, what's wrong?"
"Brother Wu, I just felt a breeze passing by. Is everything okay?!" Qi San said, turning around and taking a look at the closing formation.
"You are a big shot but you are also very careful. Don't be suspicious. There are not even any people or birds along the way. Let's think about getting a few more people for Mr. Kuo."
The two continued to move forward, and after walking in twists and turns for about a quarter of an hour, they stopped again, took out the sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and let it go, then found a rock to sit on.
The two looked at each other boredly. Qi San looked ahead curiously and said, "Brother Wu, what do you think is in here? Why doesn't Mr. Kuo let us go in and take a look?"
"Go in? Didn't Mr. Kuo say that once you go in, don't think about coming out? Are you willing?"
Qi Santou shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "No! I was just talking nonsense, but Mr. Kuo took advantage of the situation and used a lot of monks. In this way, the blame will be placed on that force. He is smart and cleared himself completely!"
"Qi San, you talk too much. One day you will suffer the consequences of your own words. Don't make any sound. The person who is going to receive the goods is here." The man called Brother Wu pulled Qi San up and looked forward.
Less than ten breaths later, ripples flashed in front of them, and a man in black with a grayish face walked out. His movements seemed a little uncoordinated, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Where is the goods?"
Qi San and Wu Ge pushed the two monks over. The man in black took them and threw a storage bag to the man called Wu Ge. With a flash of light in his hand, he disappeared, pulling the two monks with him.
"Qi San, why are you still in a daze? You want to go in too, but I'm telling you, once you're in, don't even think about coming out."
"Brother Wu, let's go!" The two men retreated along the way they came.
