Of course, the Jindan elder couldn't let him go, so he flew down first.
Although this evil cultivator had prepared a secret escape passage, he did not expect to be blocked in the cave by a Jindan cultivator. He knew that he could not escape from a Jindan cultivator today, and wanted to self-destruct the moment he jumped down, but in front of a Jindan cultivator, he did not even have the chance to self-destruct.
The Jindan elder of "Jiugong Mountain" quickly caught up with him and severely injured him with a palm strike from mid-air. If the Jindan elder had not wanted to capture him alive, he would have killed this evil cultivator with one blow.
Just as the Jindan elder was approaching quickly and was about to catch up, suddenly a burst of black smoke surged from under the cliff and swept the evil cultivator down first.
The Jindan elder of "Jiugong Mountain" was furious. He didn't expect that this evil cultivator actually had someone to support him. However, the black smoke came and went quickly. When he quickly chased it, he could no longer find any trace. The Jindan elder of "Jiugong Mountain" was so angry that his hair stood on end.
Yingkai was involved in this matter, and also remembered the look of that evil cultivator laughing wildly at the moment of breaking the door. He didn't expect to meet this person here today.
So Yingkai asked Ding Yushan whether the four people from "Jiugong Mountain" could leave the team and capture this person. After thinking about it, Ding Yushan agreed because it was just a small matter.
But the other six of them did not go far, they just stayed far behind the four people from "Jiugong Mountain".
Soon, Ying Kai and the other four approached the back of the evil cultivator and were about to take action, but the next scene surprised everyone behind them.
The evil cultivator seemed to be hiding in a pile of rocks halfway up a mountain. Then, with a flash of light, he disappeared.
"Formation!" Ying Kai transmitted a message to the other three fellow disciples. As they had already planned to take action, they were lurking very close, but they did not send their spiritual sense too close to avoid alerting the other party.
Ying Kai knew how cunning and cruel this man was. Even when facing a Jindan cultivator, he first attacked bravely and killed the female cultivator under him before considering escaping.
Therefore, they did not take it lightly just because the other party was only in the initial stage of foundation building and they had more people and more power.
After a while, after making sure that there was nothing unusual around them, Ying Kai and his four companions were about to quietly approach the pile of rocks, while Ding Yushan and his six companions had already followed them.
At this time, Ding Yushan sent a message to Ying Kai, asking them to stop all actions.
The reason is very simple. He was a cultivator before, and his cultivation was only in the initial stage of foundation building. Ding Yushan certainly thought that there would not be any big problem. But now it seems that is not the case.
The six people in the rear all believed that the person that Yingkai and his four companions wanted to capture must be hiding in a cave here, or even had accomplices. In this case, the situation was different.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, this man is a serious criminal that our sect is looking for. You may leave first. The four of us brothers will handle this. Although we are in the same team and you are the captain, you have no right to restrict our freedom after completing the mission."
Yingkai turned around with an unhappy look on her face, and transmitted her thoughts through her telepathy.
Ding Yushan frowned after hearing this and continued to transmit his voice, "Fellow Daoist Ying, we have not completed the mission. The mission has not yet been delivered to the Lingtianmen Mission Office and is still in the mission period.
Previously, there was only one monk, so it naturally would not affect the follow-up of the mission, but now it is clear that the situation here has changed, and it is inappropriate for you to do this."
After Ding Yushan's words came out, except for the two cultivators from his own "Fengxue Sect" who expressed their agreement, the three cultivators from the "Hua Ling Sect" remained silent. They neither expressed their agreement nor opposition, and they refused to help either side.
After hearing this, the four cultivators of "Jiugong Mountain" were unhappy, but the Jiuyue Sect's Jindan Elder strictly ordered that no one should disobey orders during the mission.
So Ying Kai thought about it and said, "How about this, I will go over there quietly to check the situation. There is a formation covering it. With my attainments in formation, I won't alert the other party.
If things are impossible, we will flee far away immediately. Fellow Daoist Ding and Fellow Daoist Zhou will lead my three junior brothers to retreat. You can retreat 300 miles now. Your spiritual sense can just observe this side. If something unexpected happens, you can leave immediately without any danger. "
The "Fellow Daoist Zhou" that Ying mentioned was the leader of the "Hua Ling Sect". This person's cultivation had also reached the late stage of foundation building. However, in the last captain competition, he lost three out of five battles and lost the qualification to compete for the captain position.
In fact, he was only being polite to Ding Yushan on the surface. After hearing Ying Kai's words, the cultivator surnamed Zhou smiled without saying anything. He just turned his gaze to Ding Yushan. He would not express his opinion on such matters. Anyway, they would definitely retreat hundreds of miles.
After listening to Yingkai's words, Ding Yushan thought about it and felt that this green-robed monk must be very important to "Jiugong Mountain", so Yingkai was willing to take the risk, and Yingkai's words made some sense.
The most powerful thing about "Jiugong Mountain" is the formation, and among all the people here, Yingkai's formation is particularly powerful.
The last time a capture mission was carried out, it was mainly Yingkai who set up the formation. In the end, the cultivator in desperation detonated a protective jade pendant refined by a Jindan elder.
This threat terrified Ding Yushan and the others, but in the end it only caused a crack to appear in Yingkai's formation, and did not break it by force.
So in the end Yingkai activated the formation restriction again and captured the man alive.
Afterwards, Ding Yushan and others learned that Yingkai had a broken formation plate, which was given to him by his master.
Although this treasure is damaged, it can be used to create a formation. Even a Jindan-stage cultivator cannot break through it in a moment by brute force if he does not know the center of the formation.
Moreover, if he did not agree to Yingkai's request, this person would not only insist on his own way, but would also offend these four people. Ding Yushan did not want them to have a falling out. He was only a second-rate sect, so why would he offend this person for no reason? Moreover, the other party also asked him and his party to stay away from this place.
So he flew backwards for nearly four hundred miles without saying a word before stopping. However, the other three "Jiugong Mountain" monks still stayed where they were, advancing and retreating together with Yingkai. This was not beyond Ding Yushan's expectations.
After waiting for Ding Yushan and the others to move away, Yingkai and the other three carefully approached the pile of rocks. Half an hour later, Yingkai's voice sounded in Ding Yushan's consciousness.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, I think you may want to come over here. This is a mother-child formation. The mother formation is for protection, and is meant to conceal a teleportation formation inside.
The arrangement of this teleportation array is very similar to what Changqi of the Sixth Squad described a few days ago."
Ding Yushan, who had been staying hundreds of miles away, was shocked when he heard Ying Kai's words.
Some time ago, when Chang Qi led the Sixth Team to besiege a suspected gathering point of the demons, he accidentally revealed his whereabouts and was discovered by the enemy.
So when the sixth team directly took the lead in the assault, when they rushed in, the entire gathering point was empty, and no one had left. They finally found a small teleportation array in a hidden corner. Apparently, the other party had used the array to teleport away, leaving them empty-handed.
They didn't dare to enter the teleportation array rashly, for fear of being ambushed by the enemy at the other end, but one of their team members was a monk from the "Beast Refining Valley", so he took out a small beast and put it into the formation.
He is connected to the little beast by blood. Unless the other end of the teleportation array is too far away or the little beast dies, he will lose contact with the little beast.
But what they found was a small teleportation array, which usually had a maximum distance of no more than two hundred miles. However, the final result disappointed them. After putting the little beast on it and embedding the spirit stone, the teleportation array could no longer be opened. It was obvious that the opposite end had been destroyed by the other party.
Although the mission failed in the end, after inspection by the members of the Sixth Team who were proficient in formations, they found that the small teleportation array was constructed very strangely. In addition to relying on spirit stones to open it, there was also a black groove next to a spirit stone slot, and no one knew what it was used for.
Finally, when they reported the situation to the elders of Jiuyue Sect, the Jindan elder sighed.
"It is indeed a place where demons gather. The teleportation array was set up by the demons themselves. Their weapon and array refining skills are one or two levels higher than ours.
Our teleportation array can only be driven by spirit stones, while the teleportation array set up by the demons can not only be driven by spirit stones, but in the absence of spirit stones, the demons can also carve out unique magic patterns themselves.
These magic patterns can also gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can also activate formations. The higher the level of the demon, the farther the distance the magic patterns they carve can be transmitted. "
The Sixth Team later mentioned this matter when communicating privately with Ding Yushan and others.
Today, Ding Yushan and his team heard that it was a teleportation array similar to the one that Team Six saw. They were immediately shocked. They could not sit idly by in such an important situation.
Next, the six of them gathered at the original pile of rocks. After confirmation, they all agreed that it should be basically consistent with the description of the Sixth Team.
So they discussed it and decided to ambush at a distance, hoping to see who else would be teleported over or take this opportunity to leave.
Jiuyue Sect has issued an order that all matters related to the demons must be reported. Even if they go back to report now, this task will most likely fall back on them.
Jindan cultivators are not cabbages that can be found on the roadside. If Jindan cultivators are required to go in person to conduct reconnaissance operations like this, even the four major sects would probably find it difficult.
Just like that, after they reported the matter back to the sect through the sound transmission talisman, they set up an ambush here. Of course, at this time they must have used the medium-distance sound transmission talisman. How could the ten thousand-mile sound transmission talisman be easily used
But then they received a reply order that they must closely monitor this place, because all the Jindan elders of Jiuyue Sect are busy with important matters and will not be able to arrive until two days later.
But at the same time, he ordered that if possible, Ding Yushan and his team should try their best to find the teleportation point on the other side of the teleportation array.
Because the other party here obviously doesn't know that the teleportation array has been exposed, and of course they won't destroy the formation at the other end.
After receiving the order, Ding Yushan and his team waited for a day and a half but found nothing. After discussion, everyone decided to take a risk.
The main reason is that most of them want to make merit and take the opportunity to get a generous reward.
Moreover, in this kind of situation, even if a Jindan cultivator came, a low-level cultivator would be arranged to go first, and the result should be the same.
There is no perfect way to do anything, and it happened that no one here had a spiritual beast on him. So, no one was willing to go, and finally they had to resort to the old method - drawing lots.
At the same time, several other people promised that whoever could complete this dangerous task would get half of the reward no matter how much it was in the future.
Finally, the matter was picked up by Ding Yushan's third junior sister. Seeing her pale face, Ding Yushan could only sigh in his heart and stepped onto the teleportation array himself.
