Hai Dongchen looked at the bracelet he was wearing, then raised his head and pointed ahead.
As he looked around, he saw rows upon rows of people's houses.
Smoke was coming out of the houses, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
"Ugh …" "I know." Ye Feng's reply was simple and clear.
"Daoist Master Ye, what are you doing …"
Ye Feng looked at the scenery in front of him meaningfully. He squatted down and touched the soil on the ground. Then, he started to wander around the edge of the field and observed the surrounding topography.
After a while, he even walked to the back of a withered tree and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Old Li chuckled and said, "Brother Dongchen, don't bother with Daoist Master Ye. Let him take it easy."
"Alright."
After that, Hai Dongchen no longer cared about Ye Zifeng and looked towards where Hua Tian Li was.
"Hey, it's one thing for Spiritual Master Ye and the others to follow us. Hua Tianli, why are you people from Copper Fire City here?" A trace of displeasure appeared on Hai Dongchen's face.
"Don't worry, we will come over to take a look at the situation and we will absolutely not make a move to steal your prey." Hua Tianli forced out a smile before cupping his hands and bowing.
"You'd better not play any tricks on me. Otherwise, I will definitely let you guys taste my power." Hai Dongchen unhappily glared at them.
Then, he turned around and changed his expression.
"Daoist Master Ye, it's about time. Why don't you give us an idea or let us finish the mission ourselves," he said amiably with a hint of hope in his eyes.
If he had the chance to complete the mission by himself, he still hoped that he would be able to obtain this reward.
Ye Feng squinted and walked a few more steps before suddenly stopping.
"No, wait a moment."
"What?!"
He said with a stern expression, "Someone has set up a special formation to capture the enemy. If you enter now, you will only alert the enemy."
"A formation has been set up here!"
Hai Dongchen and the rest of the people behind him exchanged glances, and looked at Ye Feng in astonishment.
As he spoke, he followed Ye Feng's footsteps and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. He carefully probed the spiritual Qi and felt the fluctuations of the surrounding spirit patterns.
He then looked around and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Where did I set up the formation? It can't be. Daoist Master Ye, why is it that I can't feel even the slightest fluctuation of formation spirit patterns?"
"Just because you don't feel anything doesn't mean that the formation doesn't exist."
Ye Feng's expression was slightly serious as he pointed at a withered tree at the side of the road.
"The core of the formation is hidden in this hollow tree. If you don't believe me, you can open it."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But that way, it will be easier to alert them. I advise you not to do so."
Ye Feng's words could not be verified.
Because, no matter who it was, no one wanted to take responsibility for the enemy's escape.
"This …"
If Hai Dongchen didn't listen to Ye Feng's words, then he would have charged in just by relying on his courage.
But now, when he heard these words, he felt a knot in his heart. He had raised his strength several times, but he had always hesitated.
"What should I do? I've chased them all the way here, and they're just looking at the fugitives in front of me, and they're not going to capture me?"
"Of course not..."
Ye Feng muttered to himself for a moment and pondered carefully. Then, he raised his head and said solemnly,
"You can use your own methods to hunt them down, but before that, give us some time to surround them from behind." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
When Hai Dongchen heard this, his eyes lit up. He looked at Ye Zifeng meaningfully.
"So that's the case. I understand what you mean. You are planning on using a coordinated approach to attack from both sides. With our feint and your ambush, we will capture the fugitive in one fell swoop."
He hesitated for a moment and said with concentration, "That's right. This method is not bad. Then, how long will it take?"
As a way to drive the enemy away and enter the cage, Hai Dongchen and the rest were naturally of value.
Ye Feng thought for a while and immediately replied, "In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, let's make some preparations and you will begin to move."
"Alright."
Hai Dongchen laughed heartily. He had always felt that Ye Feng had some unique qualities up his sleeves. Now that he had received his reminder, he admired his decisive style of action even more.
"That's great. Thanks to Spiritual Master Ye's kind reminder this time. If it really is a success, then sharing the reward equally is only natural."
Now, he had finally thought things through.
After all, if they had not been carefully observed by Ye Feng, if they had approached him like this, he might really have had the problem of alerting the enemy. He would have wasted this opportunity and allowed the enemy to escape.
Ye Feng smiled and shook his head.
Honestly speaking, the reward for a fugitive of the fourth rank was not enough to move him.
If it wasn't for the fact that he saw that there was a special formation at the outer edge of the village, perhaps Hai Dongchen and the others would have really given it a try.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I have another idea on my side …"
Old Li chuckled and answered on Hai Dongchen's behalf: "Daoist Master Ye, don't be polite. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Hai Dongchen helplessly looked at Old Li, but he couldn't say anything. He could only look at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression, as if he was lost in thought.
Ye Feng nodded with a serious expression. A light flashed across his eyes:
"Your Towering Wind City has around thirty people. Can you exchange them with our Celestial Sect of Wonders? This way, it would also be convenient for us to exchange information with each other on spirit paper."
"This …"
Hearing Ye Feng's suggestion, Hai Dongchen didn't particularly reject it. After all, Ye Feng was talking about an exchange, and not just sending someone to Ye Feng.
Therefore, to the two, the conditions were equal. Ye Feng's words did not seem like he was going to take advantage of them.
"Okay, no problem. Since we are working together and attacking from both sides, we should have someone to meet up with."
Hai Dongchen muttered to himself for a moment, then looked behind him and pointed: "Um …. "Lu Qiao, you should go and help them."
"Brother Dongchen, I …" Lu Qiao was the person who had provoked Gu Shenwei earlier and was poisoned by the black bracelet in the end, the person who had almost fainted.
"If I tell you to go, then go. Don't give me any ink."
A complicated expression appeared on Lu Qiao's face. It was clear that he had yet to recover from the corrosion from the black bracelet poison.
"Daoist Master Ye …" "I'll send Lu Qiao to you, no problem. If that's not possible, why don't I change it?" Hai Dongchen said.
Ye Feng smiled, "Don't worry, little brother Lu Qiao, the poison in his body has disappeared quite quickly. My requirements are very low, as long as it does not affect his walking and running, it will be fine."
He stopped for a moment, turned around, and looked at Han Yue.
"Hanyue, go join them."
"I …" A look of disbelief flashed through Han Yue's eyes.
However, she carefully thought about it, due to the Demon Fox and Spiritshadow's special status, they couldn't become disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. As for the others, they weren't familiar with Ye Feng, so some things couldn't be said explicitly.
So, she had unknowingly become the inevitable candidate to interact with Ye Feng.
"Haha, to have such a beauty join our ranks …" "This time, it is going to be a great change."
Hai Dongchen's eyes lit up. When he saw that the person Ye Feng wanted to trade with was Han Yue, a smile immediately appeared on his handsome face.
"Hanyue, I'll give you this stack of spirit papers. There's a pill inside the stack of paper. If you encounter any danger, take it as soon as you can, understand?" Ye Feng stared at Han Yue and lowered his voice as he spoke the last half sentence.
"Okay." Han Yue's expression was slightly doubtful as he received the spirit paper.
Her words were firm, but in her heart, she was still a bit uncertain. She didn't know what kind of situation Ye Feng was in due to the danger he was talking about.
"Then that's enough."
Ye Feng cupped his fists together and growled, "Hai Dongchen, I will set out to flank you all. You guys should calculate the time. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, we will officially begin the hunt."
… ….
Time seemed to flash by in the blink of an eye.
In the depths of the village, by the side of a small pond …
The four warriors sat around the pool.
"Ding … …" "Ding …"
Waves of clear and melodious sounds rang in the ears of these people …
"Not good. Someone has come with ill intentions. A group of over twenty cultivators. I'm afraid, 99% of them have come to hunt us down."
"That's right, there are so many of them …" "It seems that the Spirit Martial Sect is serious now. Brother Feng, let's escape quickly."
The man called "Big Brother Feng" gradually frowned. He raised his head and glared at the two of them unhappily.
What are you all in such a rush to run away for, to reincarnate? The words that the Qin Palace had previously given us were all thrown to your ears. If you knew earlier, when we escaped the prison, if it wasn't for the fact that your technique was useful, you wouldn't have been c.u.mbersome. "
Hearing the two words "Qin s.h.i.+ Hall", the expressions of the two youths opposite him almost simultaneously changed.
"We... "Sorry, we were too excited."
They pursed their lips in embarra.s.sment and looked at each other helplessly.
Feng Mo paused for a moment, and then said with a serious face, "Okay, I don't blame you guys, who told you guys to be young, but now three things, quickly use your respective cultivation techniques to quickly find out, first, the strength of the people, whether they can match us, second, whether there is anyone blocking the exit, planning to coordinate with us, and third …"
"What's the third one?" The two teenagers were stunned for a moment before asking almost in unison.
