The two were standing too close, so Geng Qi pointed to a rock opposite them that could also be used for hiding: "There's another spot over there."
This little stone can't hide two people!
Rong Yu remained unmoved: "They've gone far away."
Geng Qi breathed a sigh of relief and crawled out from behind the rock. Just as he was about to follow them to take a look, a crisp sound rang out behind them. The two turned around at the sound and saw a person standing in the opposite direction of their gaze. The porcelain jar he was holding had shattered on the ground, and the person was staring at them in a daze.
"..."
"..."
The three people stared at each other, and Geng Qi's mind raced. Before he could speak, the person who broke the porcelain jar suddenly took out a talisman tube from his waist. Just as he was about to open it, he was struck, the talisman tube fell to the ground, and he was dragged behind the boulder.
Geng Qi breathed a sigh of relief after subduing the person. He then looked at the person he had bound with the phoenix kite, who was staring at him with wide eyes.
"If you try anything again, I'll kill you, understand?"
The man nodded slightly, and Geng Qi asked, "Where is this place? Are you a disciple of the Yan Dan Sect?"
"..."
Why aren't you speaking?
The bound man just looked at him, neither resisting nor speaking.
Rong Yu's eyes darkened slightly as he said, "His seven souls are incomplete, so he doesn't know what fear is."
"..."
This person still retains his consciousness. He is loyal to Yandan Sect and has no more fear. He will not betray the sect no matter what threat he faces.
Geng Qi turned around and asked, "Then what should we do? Let him go?"
Just then, a soft sound came from outside the boulder where the group was hiding. Something rose into the air and exploded in the sky. Looking at the spiritual energy fluctuations that bloomed like fireworks, Geng Qi's heart sank. He looked at the talisman tube outside the boulder, which no one had touched, and wondered why it had exploded on its own.
Whether they release the person or not, the outcome is the same.
Hearing the sudden, chaotic footsteps coming from all directions, Geng Qi's expression turned somewhat grim.
Rong Yu tightened his grip on the Drunken Shadow Sword, his expression unchanged, and said, "Let's go."
Where to?
"Use the main entrance."
Go through the main entrance? Are we just giving up?
Geng Qi understood the meaning behind his words. He could guess from the people here that they were wearing the usual clothes of the Yan Dan Sect disciples. This must be inside the Yan Dan Sect. The teleportation array in that mansion was connected to Pi Pi Mountain, where the Yan Dan Sect was located.
Given Rong Yu's status, even if the Yan Dan Sect suspects him by entering through the main gate, they can't do anything openly, and they certainly wouldn't dare let him make any mistakes here. But now that they've already alerted the enemy, going through the main gate at this time would just give them a chance to catch their breath!
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Geng Qi suddenly withdrew his phoenix-tail bone whip and delivered a chop to the neck of the culprit. After the man fainted, he said, "Go through the main gate. I'll guard this place."
Rong Yu frowned immediately: "The danger is unknown, you..."
"That depends on how much influence you, the young sect leader of Tianzhi Sect, have within Yandan Sect!" Seeing that he was about to object, Geng Qi quickly interrupted him, saying, "Don't worry, if I want to run away, no one can stop me!"
As long as the sect leader and a few elders of the Yan Dan Sect are kept in check, no one else can do anything to him.
Rong Yu was still hesitating when Geng Qi suddenly pulled off the bracelet on his wrist, walked over, and said, "Hand."
"..."
Puzzled, he raised his hand, and the bracelet was already on his wrist.
Geng Qi said, "This is my storage bracelet. It has my divine sense imprint on it. You take it with you, and I will come to find you."
As he spoke, he jumped onto the strange rock he had come from. It was easier for one person to move around than two, and being a smaller target made it less likely to be exposed.
Rong Yu stared blankly at the bracelet that had been forcibly put on him. The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Seeing that the person had already disappeared, he had no choice but to leave first.
On top of a strange rock not far away, Geng Qi watched the silver light disappear in one direction. He slightly curled his lips, closed his eyes and focused his mind, and went to investigate the place where the footsteps gathered. It was the place where they were discovered and where he knocked out the messenger.
The disciple who discovered them was not destroyed, leaving evidence that they had been there, which would cause panic and make people unconsciously search for the local leader.
Geng Qi slightly raised his hand, and in his palm lay the talisman tube that had just exposed them. The talisman tube had an additional magic array engraved inside compared to ordinary communication talisman tubes. It did not need to be fully released; as long as the talisman tube was vibrated, it would spontaneously explode.
The Yan Dan Sect's extreme caution is hard to describe; they seem overly paranoid or overly cautious. However, too much of a good thing can be bad. The more they care about something, the more they worry about being discovered. If they can't find the "intruder," they subconsciously strengthen their defenses, thus exposing the target's location.
Geng Qi watched them scurrying around like headless flies with amusement. Feeling bored, he reached out to grab something to eat, only to find that he had just given away the storage bracelet he used to store snacks.
