"It's not that I'm hiding it from you on purpose, 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 mountains to investigate this formation?"
"I don't know how the news leaked out, but the Heavenly Palace sent Bai Ziqi here."
He Lingchuan was both amused and annoyed: "I'm not kidding, but are you guys a little... lax in protecting this formation?"
"Has Master He ever been to Baimao Mountain?"
He Lingchuan asked suddenly, and he said without blinking, "I've been there."
And it happens once in reality and once in Panlong World.
"Then you know that Baimao Mountain is vast. Putting hundreds of thousands of people in it is just a drop in the ocean. The thirty-odd formation pillars are extremely scattered." Peng Yukui's face was as gloomy as water. "Anyway, the formation has been deactivated. Xiaoyao Sect was surprised at first and studied it for a while, but later didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, Bai Ziqi took advantage of the opportunity to enter the mountain. He not only found the eye of the formation, but also activated the formation!"
"What?" He Lingchuan stood up, furious. "He can actually activate the formation of Qianhuan Zhenren? How much strength does that require!"
His surprise was not feigned.
"Longshou Mountain is the place where the Dragon God fell. Several immortals have judged that the formation method of Qianhuan Zhenren is probably related to this. If Bai Ziqi works hard in this area, it may not be impossible to do it." Peng Yukui said, "But you are right, restarting the formation requires extremely strong power!"
He Lingchuan murmured, "What exactly does he want to do by activating the formation?"
"Do what the devil has always done: harm the immortals in the blessed land!" The spiritual energy has declined for thousands of years, and the immortals who are still alive are all in the caves. The devil will catch one if he can.
"You mean, he can track down the cave of Master Qianhuan through the formation?"
"It's possible." Peng Yukui paused before saying, "The Heavenly Palace already has its own set of methods to track down immortal caves."
He Lingchuan nodded: "I see. So, Mr. Peng came to Tianshui City to plan...?"
"Bai Ziqi was after Master Qian Huan, so we followed him! But he was very slippery, and we fought him several times but failed to take him down. In the end, he escaped all the way south into the Yao Kingdom."
He Lingchuan was moved: "Mr. Peng chased him and caught up with him...?"
"The Thousand Star Mausoleum in the north."
He Lingchuan calculated and located it in his mind. Wow, it's so far away. "Master Qianhuan's cave shouldn't be there, but Bai Ziqi is following the right direction. This guy is really amazing."
Tracing the whereabouts of the immortal, such a vague and illusory thing, could actually be confirmed by Bai Ziqi.
This also gives us a glimpse of how the Heavenly Palace opened the immortal caves in the past.
No wonder Lingshan attached great importance to Bai Ziqi's actions and treated them as a formidable enemy.
He Lingchuan looked at the strong man Mao Gong behind Peng Yukui and said, "Mr. Peng, are you two the only ones tracking Bai Ziqi?"
Bai Ziqi came to the Golden Plains, and of course he was surrounded by brave warriors. These two visitors from Lingshan were able to chase them away, so their fighting power must be off the charts.
"We still have 19 people, all outside the city." Peng Yukui said seriously, "If Bai Ziqi doesn't seek help from Yaoguo, we will be able to capture him!"
This sentence contained a lot of information. Seeing his calm and confident attitude, He Lingchuan tried to test him:
"Bai Ziqi was born as a lamp master. He has many different ways of controlling lamp spirits. He also has several powerful lamp spirits of his own."
He Lingchuan had personally experienced Bai Ziqi's lamp spirit.
Peng Yukui smiled slightly: "He has the magic treasure, and we also have the means of the immortals."
Without waiting for He Lingchuan to speak, he continued, "We have experienced the methods of the Heavenly Palace more than once or twice, and we know what they are like."
The conflict between Tianmo and Lingshan has lasted for more than two thousand years. They know each other's methods better than any other forces, at least better than He Lingchuan.
"You plan to deal with Bai Ziqi in Yao Country?"
Peng Yukui nodded: "We can't keep this person. Island Master He, Shanzhong hopes you can help us."
He Lingchuan pondered.
Yao State is a powerful country on the Golden Plains, with considerable Yuan power. It is not easy for Lingshan to kill Bai Ziqi here. Moreover, the whole country of Yao State believes in Miao Zhantian, so of course they will provide shelter to Bai Ziqi.
Lingshan didn't dare to be so arrogant as to face the state machine with only a few dozen people, 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.
When it comes to understanding the situation in Tianshui City and Yao Kingdom, Lingshan can't find a more suitable candidate than He Lingchuan.
"As a reward for your temporary help, Yamanaka is willing to give you a divine weapon."
He Lingchuan was startled: "Divine weapon? Can it still be used now?"
Not to mention the Fu Sheng Knife in his own hand or the big square pot in the Panlong Desert, he was very envious of the Seven Blessings Wheel taken out by Lu Xun, his ancestor of the Lu family in the Panlong world.
However, few ancient artifacts have survived to this day, and the reason is obvious.
"Of course you can, but it consumes too much energy and has a time limit." Peng Yukui said, "But the Emperor's Flowing Slurry will erupt again in a few days, and this time the scale is unprecedented. As long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually becomes abundant, the threshold for using the artifact will become lower and lower."
Simply put, spiritual tools and divine tools that were unusable before may be usable after the spiritual energy is abundant - if they are not broken by then.
Otherwise, no matter how big the gimmick of the artifact is, it is just a decoration if it cannot be used. Why would 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 with him. Now should be a good time to snipe and kill him."
In Tianshui City, Bai Ziqi was well protected and no one could attack him.
But once he left the city and walked onto the mountain road, things were different.
He Lingchuan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Peng said before that he had fought with Bai Ziqi several times?"
"Three times, and killed five of his men."
"He probably knows you followed him into the country, so how could he let down his guard?" He Lingchuan knew Bai Ziqi to some extent. "He's a cunning man. Maybe this is a trap. If you go and snipe, the dozens of guards will become hundreds of them. Not only do they have Yuanli, but there must be experts among them."
Peng Yukui and Mao Gong looked at each other, and the latter frowned: "Maybe?"
Just for the three words "maybe", they are going to give up the chance to kill Bai Ziqi?
"You can try if you want. I won't stop you, but you must be prepared to fail." He Lingchuan analyzed, "He was chased all the way to Yao Country by you, but now he dares to leave Tianshui City. Who gave him the courage?"
There was another reason he didn't mention: Bai Ziqi inspected the Tianshui East Expansion Project yesterday and told him that he was going to Mangzhou to investigate a case.
He Lingchuan didn't even ask why Bai Ziqi took the initiative to disclose his itinerary?
Does he want to lure He Lingchuan into taking action?
If He Lingchuan is the Emperor Jiuyou, of course he would like to kill him halfway. Otherwise, once Bai Ziqi finds useful clues in Xiaotao Villa and returns to Tianshui City, He Lingchuan will be in big trouble.
If Peng Yukui and Mao Gong went to chase them at this time, they would most likely run into the enemy's knife.
Mao Gong was about to speak, but Peng Yukui raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said: "Island Master He is right. So when is the best time to take action?"
He Lingchuan said seriously, "Well, Mr. Peng, let me think about it."
"Okay, but please do it as soon as possible." In Peng Yukui's opinion, He Lingchuan would certainly carefully assess the risks of this matter.
Assassinating the Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace would be an earth-shattering event no matter where it happened. Moreover, Yao Kingdom was also the sphere of influence of the Lingxu gods. He Lingchuan would of course think of himself first.
He was very considerate by not refusing outright.
He Lingchuan asked again: "By the way, does Bai Ziqi recognize you two?"
"We were not the ones who attacked earlier." Peng Yukui said, "We have never met him, otherwise we would not have come to you openly."
So He Lingchuan said, "Tianshui City is a bit chaotic right now, Mr. Peng, just stay at Yongquan Villa. I can still ask you for advice if I have anything."
Peng Yukui readily agreed.
An inn is an inn. Even if you stay in a No. 1 room, it is not as comfortable as this large manor. Moreover, staying in Yongquan Villa will make it more convenient to exchange information and plan actions with He Lingchuan.
"Let's go and have breakfast first!" He Lingchuan stood up first. "I heard that there are fried cakes this morning, and the peanuts in them are grown by me in my farm. By the way, the newly hired chef is very skilled, especially in making desserts."
His smile was very contagious, making the guests across from him relax subconsciously. Peng Yukui also smiled: "Okay, I'd be disrespectful to refuse."
The two walked to the Qingxin Hall, which was used by He Lingchuan for his daily life, followed by Wanqi Feng and Mao Gong.
Peng Yukui saw that He Lingchuan had slightly bloodshot eyes and said, "I heard that Island Master He plays a very important role in Tianshui's eastward expansion plan."
He Lingchuan rubbed his eyes and said, "No, I don't have a job title and I don't get paid. I can only talk. Others do the real work."
Peng Yukui was curious and asked some more details about the eastward expansion of Tianshui City. He Lingchuan answered them one by one, enthusiastically and frankly.
As soon as they sat down at the table, breakfast was served one by one. Tianshui City was already very cold in late autumn, and one could even breathe out white steam in the morning, so the kitchen kept heating up the beef soup. Before He Lingchuan and the guests came to the table, the noodles would be cooked and then poured with hot soup, and the rich aroma would spread everywhere.
Of course, this bowl of beef noodle soup is just a base, there are also six kinds of dim sum and desserts on the table.
Considering the soaring prices outside and the difficulty for refugees to get enough food, it is actually a luxury to be able to sit here and eat a bowl of delicious beef soup.
Peng Yukui and his companions travelled day and night to Tianshui City without any proper rest along the way. Now, after eating half a bowl of hot noodle soup, they felt refreshed.
He Lingchuan saw that the two of them had relaxed, and then asked:
"By the way, where do you start tracking Bai Ziqi?"
"It's the town at the foot of Baimao Mountain." Peng Yukui told the truth, "They were killing people and watching the battle on the mountain, and Xiaoyao Sect didn't even see their faces. Fortunately, I was lucky and found Bai Ziqi before they left the town."
"It seems Mr. Peng is good at tracking."
