Although the four Star Moths encountered some troubles, with their cultivation and keen perception, they avoided these troubles from afar.
But it was only after going around in a big circle that we finally arrived at the destination.
"Black Forest Villa is in that forest, less than twenty miles away.
You three can take a rest here and use your spiritual sense to observe the surrounding situation.
I'll go over there to get some information and see if I can sneak in. If there's any situation, I'll let you know immediately!"
Xing Ming pointed to a stretch of dense forest at the foot of the mountain and said that was where the Black Forest Villa was located.
At this moment, the four of them were more cautious.
Now that we are here, of course we have to find out the actual situation as soon as possible. This place is only seventeen or eighteen miles away from Heilin Villa.
As long as the opponent does not have a sect protection formation like the "Falling Star Valley", ordinary formations will not be able to stop the Star Moth from transmitting sound.
Therefore, it is still feasible for him to go alone to get the news.
Even if the sound transmission was blocked and the Star Moth was trapped inside, the fight between the Jindan cultivators was earth-shaking, and the formation could not completely isolate the noise inside.
The distance was more than ten miles, but Xuan Caijun and his two companions stopped the rescue almost instantly and did not delay the rescue at all.
The three of them will also use their spiritual sense to carefully investigate what is happening over at Black Forest Mountain.
What I am worried about is that the other party’s protective formation is really powerful, and spiritual consciousness may not be able to penetrate the restrictions. The subtle details cannot be known, and someone must sneak in to find out.
After Xingming left, Li Yan and the other two followed without being asked by others. They sent out their spiritual senses and followed.
Black Forest Villa covers a vast area, approximately thirty miles long and wide, with dense forests both inside and outside the villa.
After a moment, the three of them withdrew their spiritual consciousness in astonishment. Although the restrictions at the Black Forest Villa were activated, and the formation restrictions were also quite good, they were not fully activated.
This is also a practice often adopted by some small families and sects of immortal cultivation. They have limited spirit stones and dare not activate the defensive formation all the time.
They could not afford such extravagance, and this made the three of them realize the problem.
Only a few places in the villa have activated the defensive formations and restrictions to prevent the infiltration of spiritual consciousness. Those places should be very important places in the Black Forest Villa.
Therefore, in order to find out what the situation was inside those places, Xuan Caijun and the other two did not use their spiritual sense to forcibly break through and investigate, in order to avoid alerting the enemy. It seemed that they could only place their hope on the Star Moth.
However, the three people still discovered unexpected situations in their spiritual consciousness.
They actually sensed two extremely strong aura fluctuations from two places in the villa.
“There are two Jindan beings in the village, one in the early Jindan stage and one in the middle Jindan stage, and they don’t hide their aura at all.
If Jiang Baibi's cultivation level has not dropped, this means that there should be at least three Jindan-stage cultivators in Heilin Villa!"
Xuan Caijun transmitted the message to the two of them with astonishment on his face. When they were investigating just now, they were afraid that Jiang Baibi would sense the detection with his spiritual sense, so they only used their spiritual sense to pass through quickly and covertly.
But the monks in the villa did not hide their aura, and they were able to easily sense the powerful aura.
"This is not a small family at all. This is totally different from Senior Brother Xingming's previous intelligence.
The Black Forest Villa has three Jindan cultivators; even a second-rate sect may not have so many mid-level cultivators.
Although his overall combat power may not be as strong as ours, in this case, it would be several times more difficult to kill Jiang Baibi and retrieve the 'Seven-Colored Glazed Lamp'. "
Feng Moru's expression also turned solemn. Everyone here knew how difficult it was to kill a Jindan. This was exactly why Xingming asked them to come, wanting to work together to kill the opponent in one fell swoop.
Now, let alone two more Jindan, even if there is one more, their encirclement may be broken by the other side.
Moreover, Jiang Baibi is either a cultivator in the late Jindan stage or the false infant stage, and his methods are even more extraordinary.
Li Yan did not say anything. He was wondering why the information given by Xingming was so different. According to Xingming's experience, this situation should not happen.
With this discovery, Xuan Caijun and the others, who were all experts in this field, decided not to send their spiritual consciousness deeper into the Black Forest Villa, for fear of accidentally exposing themselves.
Instead, Xuan Caijun only released a wisp of spiritual consciousness to wander outside the Black Forest Villa so that he could support the Star Moth at any time. After all, his realm and cultivation were the highest here.
In this way, they waited until midnight, when Xuan Caijun's expression suddenly changed.
"Maybe Fellow Daoist Xingming has returned!"
Soon after he transmitted the message, an almost invisible shadow came to them and quickly entered the small illusion array.
The illusory figure immediately solidified, revealing the appearance of a star moth in the three people's vigilant gazes. After the three people's spiritual consciousness passed over it, their expressions relaxed.
Xingming's face did not look good, and he glanced at the three of them.
"Things are getting a little troublesome!"
What Star Moth said did not surprise the three people, it just brought bad news.
"We sensed the presence of two cultivators below the late Jindan stage in the village this afternoon. Jiang Baibi should not be among them, which is inconsistent with the other party's realm.
I didn't investigate further afterwards, fearing to alert the other party. Your intelligence was seriously wrong! !"
Xuan Caijun said bluntly. Xing Ming nodded first and then shook his head. His action made several people even more confused.
"I sneaked into the manor and searched most places, but did not find Jiang Baibi. Then I saw a place with extremely strong defenses. I estimated that Jiang Baibi was most likely there.
I didn't dare to advance, so I hid nearby and waited for the opportunity.
I also sensed the two Jindans you mentioned, and they later entered the heavily defended place that I was eyeing.
I had no way to follow them in, but after waiting for several hours, Jiang Baibi finally showed up. He was hiding in that heavily defended place.
However, there were three Jindan cultivators coming out with him, which means that in addition to the one you sensed, there was another Jindan cultivator in the village. Jiang Baibi's aura fluctuations were still at the late Jindan stage, but among the other three, there was also a late Jindan cultivator, who was the other person who had been hiding with Jiang Baibi.
But the information I got before was definitely not like this..."
Having said that, Xingming showed a thoughtful expression. It seemed that this matter was really beyond his expectations.
Li Yan listened quietly to the voice transmission of Xingming.
"These veteran Jindan monks are indeed very secretive and have their own methods.
There are at least two late Jindan masters in the village, and Jiang Baibi is a veteran Jindan from the era of Master Xingming.
Xing Ming himself has not even reached the False Infant realm, and he was able to hide for such a long time without anyone noticing. Just from this point, one can imagine Xing Ming's methods. "
"Fellow Daoist Xingming, how many times have you explored Black Forest Villa before?"
Feng Mo Ru asked with a serious face. They had asked this question before helping each other this time.
It was just that because I knew Xingming's character very well, and knew that he was rigorous in his actions and would always plan before taking action, I did not ask every question to the end.
But the situation today is too different. It has already affected the safety of several people, and we must clarify it.
"Since I sensed the seven-colored glass lamp, I have come here three times in person, and my spies have sent messages several times, and each time, there is only one Jindan in charge of the Black Forest Villa."
Xing Ming's old face turned serious. He didn't want the three to misunderstand him on this issue. Even though Zhang Ming was one of his own, he had to make it clear.
"Then there should be no problem, but why are there so many Jindan cultivators now? Could it be that Jiang Baibi sensed the crisis and called for help?"
Xuan Caijun’s “beautiful” face was frowned.
Cultivators are walking on a path that goes against the will of heaven, and they will have some degree of sensitivity to their own life and death crises. As for how strong the sensitivity is, it depends on each person's cultivation, practice method, and even luck.
The reason cannot be explained clearly in words, it is often a kind of mysterious feeling, so what Xuan Caijun said is very reasonable.
A look of hesitation appeared on Xingming's old face. What Xuancaijun said might be true. If so, they would definitely return empty-handed this time.
If they attack by force, even though they have a fake infant, Xuan Caijun, they will definitely have to pay a price, and that price is that someone may die.
The difference in strength between the two sides is not too great now. If one side wants to kill the opponent by force and the other side is also prepared, someone will die in a fight to the death.
“Is there another possibility?”
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly spoke.
"Brother, what do you think?"
Xing Ming was stunned for a moment, then he perked up a little. Xuan Caijun and Feng Moru also looked at him sideways, wondering what Zhang Ming thought.
"Brother, if you had a bad feeling in your heart and asked others to help you, would you reveal your cards like this
This can only deter the opponent, but it is not the best way to solve the problem!"
Li Yan is very experienced in scheming against others, and his level of sophistication is not inferior to those in front of him.
However, Xing Ming and his companions were confident of their skills and thought they were sure of victory. They thought that after arriving, they would quickly capture or kill Jiang Baibi and then return home easily.
After the incident, the focus for a while was on how to explain what was happening.
In fact, as long as they are given some time to relax and their mindset changes, they will remember the problem.
After Li Yan's reminder, the three of them couldn't help but brighten up.
Star moth is an immediate interface.
"Of course I will think about completely eliminating the enemy to prevent future troubles. On the surface, I will act as usual, but I will set an ambush in secret to lure the opponent into a trap...
Junior Brother, what you said makes sense, and it fits the situation we are seeing now!"
Xingming nodded repeatedly; he had already thought of some other possibilities.
“That means the appearance of these extra golden elixirs here is probably a coincidence, or an accident.
So what could they be planning by bringing so many golden elixirs together
This matter cannot be done by Jiang Baibi alone. This afternoon, they opened some defensive arrays in some places, and several people were discussing this matter inside..."
Xuan Caijun came to an analysis quickly. He paused before continuing.
"Maybe there will be some rare treasures that Jiang Baibi can't eat alone, so he can only invite experts to gather together, and then go to a market or auction together to get it..."
But before he finished speaking, he rejected the idea.
In that situation, it would be better for you to prepare a large amount of spirit stones yourself, even if you just borrow them, so that you will have a greater chance of getting them.
“It would be more reasonable for so many Jindan to gather together to borrow the fighting power of others, such as working together to surround and kill one person, just like us.
Or maybe a rare treasure was found somewhere, or that place is too dangerous, so we need to find someone to cooperate with us, etc.!!”
Feng Moru gently shook the whisk in his hand and spoke slowly.
Star Moth slapped lightly with both palms.
"Yes, this analysis is very reasonable!
Well... If that's the case, then Jiang Baibi and the others won't stay in the manor for too long. They should leave in one or two days, or even tonight.
Therefore, as long as we hang behind them, we will still have a chance to kill this official."
"Can!"
"Then wait and see, and wait for the opportunity!"
