Chapter 288: Only one can save oneself
The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew.
There seed to be a slight chill in the air.
But it didn’t affect anything.
At this mont, a woman pushing a wheelchair arrived at Duanqing Cliff.
They ca out covertly without letting anyone know for safety and convenience.
The man sitting in the wheelchair with a pale face was Bai Ye. He held a jade stone in his hand, a treasure used to stabilize his injuries.
Without this jade stone, his condition would start to deteriorate.
Given his current situation, a complete recovery might take a year.
But when the person in the shadows would make a move was unknown to anyone.
It could be at any ti.
“Senior Brother, can you really see anything?” Fairy Lian Qin asked doubtfully.
At this mont, they arrived at the riverside; following the river upstream would lead to Jiang Hao’s residence.
Bai Ye shook his head and said softly:
“Let’s take a look first.”
“Why not wait for him to co back and then take a look?” Lian Qin was puzzled.
“It’s different. To get a comprehensive view, you need to observe both when the person is here and when they’re not,” Bai Ye said calmly.
“Sotis, you can’t see certain things when the person is present.”
“If it really is related, what will Senior Brother do?” Fairy Lian Qin asked with so concern.
“I don’t know,” Bai Ye shook his head, gazing at the river in a trance before slowly speaking.
“Let’s take a look first.”
......
After a while, they saw a courtyard in the distance, now covered by a formation.
It wasn’t a powerful formation, but one that could shield aura and gather spiritual energy.
The formation was clever, but it wasn’t enough to prove anything.
They still needed to take a closer look.
“Should we go in?” Fairy Lian Qin asked, pushing the wheelchair.
“No need, just take a look from the doorway,” Bai Ye said.
Responding with a nod, Fairy Lian Qin pushed the wheelchair with large strides toward the entrance of the courtyard.
Once there, she stopped and positioned herself at an angle that would allow Bai Ye to observe the inside.
Out of curiosity, she too peered into the courtyard.
“I’ve been here before. If you look closely, aside from so spiritual herbs, there’s nothing particularly special...”
Clang!
A crisp sound suddenly emanated from the ground.
Fairy Lian Qin looked down to find a jade stone had fallen and struck a rock.
This took her by surprise.
How could Senior Brother be so careless?
However, when she turned to look at her Senior Brother, she was taken aback.
The always calm and collected Bai Ye had changed.
He was staring intently into the courtyard, his eyes wide with fear replacing his usual tranquility, his body trembling non-stop as if he had seen sothing terrifying.
Fairy Lian Qin followed his gaze, which landed on a young sprout, just an ordinary spiritual herb.
“S-Senior Brother?” she called out, frightened.
At that mont, Bai Ye, sitting in the wheelchair, grabbed his face, his voice trembling.
“Why... why didn’t you tell ? Why didn’t anyone tell about such an important thing?”
“If soone had inford , I wouldn’t have ended up on this path of no return...”
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?” Fairy Lian Qin was confused.
What on earth was Senior Brother talking about?
“Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower,” Bai Ye murmured in horror, his head bowed.
“It’s the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, it must be. I’ve seen records of it in so ancient ruins... And he’s actually cultivating such a divine object...”
Bai Ye turned to Fairy Lian Qin and said, “Do you know what this ans in the Tianyin Sect? It ans he is a person of Elder Bai or the Sect Leader.”
Upon hearing this, Fairy Lian Qin felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
The Sect Leader...
In the Tianyin Sect, as long as one lived long enough, they would know how terrifying the Sect Leader was.
Beneath that figure, there would be a field of corpses.
Offending the Sect Leader was no different from courting death.
“What do we do now?”
“Save oneself. I need to save myself. I must co up with a way to save myself before the next spirit sealing arrives.”
Bai Ye never dread that one day, because of a trivial matter, he would personally push himself into the vortex of death, especially after being unaware for so many years, leading to a serious situation.
At first, the other party only intended to break the formation, not wanting to cause additional trouble.
But he kept provoking them, and only then did the other party begin to retaliate.
If this continued, he would surely die in the Hundred Bones Forest.
No one could save him.
He had to save himself.
......
In the south, by the coast, a woman dressed in a gray robe blended into the crowd, trying to leave the place.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that this woman had a delicate appearance and exquisite features, a rare beauty.
At this mont, she looked exhausted.
“Where in the south can I hide? The Mingyue Sect’s influence is vast, but they will not make a big move this ti. It’s unlikely they can affect this area.”
“Damn, I didn’t expect them to have such strong power overseas.”
“Where to go in the south? I can’t go to the Immortal Sects; they must be under the influence of the Mingyue Sect.”
“Tiansheng Sect? They are too mad; I cannot join them. Ghost Shadow Sect? They are too cruel; I would surely be tortured if I entered.”
After considering several Demon Sects, she still wasn’t satisfied.
Out of options, she took out a book and began to flip through it.
Too small wouldn’t do, too twisted was also not an option.
Finally, she saw a rarely ntioned na.
“Tianyin Sect?”
“I rember this is a second or third-tier small sect, but it has developed rapidly in recent years and can now rival the Fenglei Sect and Xuantian Sect. This sect seems to have no other issues besides its unrestrained behavior. So, I can hide there and take a look.”
“Moreover, in the Demon Sects, anything goes. With my cultivation level, once I enter, as long as I kill those in the sect who spy on , I can secure my footing. Even if they know I have secrets, they won’t act against for the ti being.”
“Tianyin Sect it is.”
With that thought, the woman put away the book and started heading in the direction of the Tianyin Sect.
“We’re about to enter the Human Elent Formation. Think carefully about where you want to go. Leaving the area that suits you rashly can lead to danger,” Gu Cheng reminded everyone in the passage.
Jiang Hao walked at the back, having already decided on his destination—the Foundation Establishnt area.
Perhaps the Corpse Realm had countless opportunities, but he needed none of them.
As long as he could mine and cultivate spiritual herbs there in peace, he could give up any chance.
At this point, he lacked nothing.
Inheritance, cultivation techniques, spells, divine abilities, and magical treasures.
Whatever it was, he had it.
There was no need for adventure then; it was better to find a place to cultivate in peace.
Ore veins were a matter of chance; it was great if you found them, but if not, just let nature take its course.
In any case, being a Nascent Soul in the Foundation Establishnt region would be much safer.
In other regions, not to ntion Nascent Souls, even those who had reached Spirit Refining were present.
And if there happened to be a Return to Void...
For a re Nascent Soul to go there, wouldn’t it be akin to seeking death?
At this mont, Jiang Hao felt as if he had entered an endless starry sky with the sun and the moon above, mountains and rivers below, and countless opportunities for fortune in between.
“Alright, the Three Elents Formation has appeared. After we enter the Human Elent Formation, we will have to split up, and you’ll choose your own place to land,” Gu Cheng reminded.
“Rember the details of the formation and its variations, to prevent any problems,” Qing You added her reminder.
After thanking Jiang Hao and Mu Qi, the four of them went their separate ways.
Mu Qi and Fairy Qing You were of the sa realm, but since there were multiple related regions, they also acted independently.
The Foundation Establishnt region only had the Blood Tide Forest, so there was no need to choose.
After a short while, Jiang Hao disappeared into the Human Elent Formation.
