The Heaven Mountain Range wasn't that big. Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Xiao Chen's words. But in the end, Yi Xu calmly asked, "Senior Brother Xiao Chen, how are we going to find those people from the Sacred Yin Sect?"
"It's simple. Since they're already trying to break through the self-protection of the Heavenly Veins, their hiding place must be near the source of the Heavenly Veins. We'll secretly head to the source of the Heavenly Veins, and we'll naturally find them there." Xiao Chen smiled in response to Yi Xu's question.
The Heavenly Veins were invisible. The only way to find and approach them was through the source of the Heavenly Veins. To put it bluntly, the source of the Heavenly Veins was a node between the Heavenly Veins and the real world. It was also the only place that could be considered to be destroyed.
Once the source of the Heavenly Veins was destroyed, the entire Heavenly Veins would wither in a very short period of time.
They were certain that the people from the Sacred Yin Sect were hiding near the source of the Heavenly Veins. After all, they had to constantly pay attention to the source of the Heavenly Veins to ensure that they could destroy the Heavenly Veins of the Ancient Saint Province in the shortest time possible.
Under Xiao Chen's lead, the group immediately entered the Heaven Mountain Range. Old Hei and Elder Master Bai walked at the front of the group. The two of them were half-step Saints, and their perception was the strongest. With them at the front, they could quickly sense every movement in front of them.
They secretly entered the Heaven Mountain Range. At the same time that Xiao Chen's group entered the Heaven Mountain Range, there was a small lake in the depths of the Heaven Mountain Range. Although it was called a lake, it was completely different from an ordinary lake.
This was because there wasn't any water in this lake. Instead, there were strands of spiritual energy that could be seen flowing in the lake.
The lake was formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This was the source of the Heavenly Veins.
On a small hill not far from the spiritual energy lake, several young girls in black clothes and two old men were hiding in the forest.
The few of them sat in a circle, trying their best to conceal their auras. Needless to say, these girls were obviously disciples of the Sacred Yin Sect.
The girl in the lead had a delicate appearance. She gave off an extremely cold feeling between her brows. Her face was pale and stern, and her pair of beautiful eyes would occasionally look at the spiritual energy lake below.
This young girl was none other than the Sacred Yin Sect's prospective Holy Maiden, Mu Yao. She was ranked fourth among the Sacred Yin Sect's prospective Holy Maidens.
"Senior Sister Mu Yao, there's no need to be so nervous. The Heavenly Vein Source will be opened in a few days. At that time, we'll be able to complete our mission." Seeing that Mu Yao was still looking at the source of the Heavenly Vein, one of the Sacred Yin Sect's disciples stepped forward and said with a smile.
However, Mu Yao's expression didn't change in the slightest upon hearing this, and she replied in a cold voice, "Wu Die, have you still not heard from him?"
These two days, Mu Yao had a bad feeling in her heart. She hadn't heard from Wu Die for many days. Moreover, the Ancient Sacred Sect still hadn't responded. This was too strange.
From the very beginning, Mu Yao was very clear that this was merely a test by the Sacred Yin Sect. Thus, Mu Yao didn't have much hope from the very beginning.
If the heaven veins of the Ancient Saint State were so easily destroyed, then the Ancient Saint Sect would have been destroyed long ago.
Originally, she thought that the Ancient Saint Sect would have taken action long ago. However, until now, not a single disciple of the Ancient Saint Sect had appeared. This made Mu Yao suspicious.
Hearing Mu Yao's words, the female disciple shook her head and said, "There's still no news. However, Senior Sister doesn't need to worry. Perhaps it's inconvenient for Wu Die."
She comforted Mu Yao not to be too nervous. Mu Yao didn't say anything in response and sank into deep thought.
Just as Xiao Chen had guessed, the Sacred Yin Sect's disciples were indeed hiding near the source of the Heavenly Vein Source. They had been hiding here all this time, secretly observing the changes in the source of the Heavenly Vein Source.
Time passed slowly, and soon, night fell. Under the cover of the night, the Heavenly Mountain Range gradually quieted down.
Perhaps it was because of the source of the Heavenly Vein Source, but there weren't even any wild beasts in the Heavenly Mountain Range, let alone demonic beasts. Thus, whenever night fell, the Heavenly Mountain Range would be terrifyingly quiet.
The sky was filled with stars, and Mu Yao and the others closed their eyes and sat down cross-legged to rest.
Being in the Heavenly Mountain Range, Mu Yao and the others naturally didn't dare to cultivate. They had to be vigilant at all times, especially the two old women by Mu Yao's side. Just like Senior Hei and Elder Master Bai, they were also Half-saints.
The two old women had always been on guard against every movement in their surroundings, and it was only in this quiet night that they maintained their vigilance. Not far away, Xiao Chen's group was getting closer and closer. It was also at this moment that Senior Hei and Elder Master Bai, who were leading the group, suddenly stopped. Elder Master Bai turned to look at Xiao Chen.
"Young Master, I've found them. They're just ahead. I can sense the aura of a Half-saint expert. However, they've been secretly on guard. If we continue forward, we'll definitely be discovered by them."
They'd found the location of Mu Yao and the others, but it was impossible to approach them stealthily. After all, there were two Half-saints by Mu Yao's side. Even the slightest movement could be detected by them.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly when he heard Elder Master Bai's words. "Then let's surround them. Don't give them a chance to escape. Then, we'll take them down in one fell swoop."
Since they couldn't hide their tracks, they'd make their move directly. Moreover, once they secretly formed an encirclement, Mu Yao and the others wouldn't be able to escape even if they discovered them.
When they heard Xiao Chen's words, everyone consciously spread out, and Mu Yao and the others quickly formed an encirclement.
In order to be absolutely safe, Xiao Chen had brought more people than Mu Yao and the others. After the encirclement was formed, Xiao Chen looked at Senior Hei and Elder Master Bai with a smile. Then, he led the two old men and swaggered toward Mu Yao and the others.
There was no longer any way to hide their tracks. At the same time, the two old women who were originally sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed suddenly opened their eyes.
"Are the people from the Ancient Sacred Sect here?" Mu Yao slowly opened her eyes when she sensed the strange movements of the two old women. She asked calmly before they could say anything.
Mu Yao's expression didn't change much as if she had already expected this. As soon as Mu Yao's voice fell, it wasn't the two old women who responded to her. Instead, it was a voice with a faint smile that sounded from the darkness.
"Senior and junior sisters of the Sacred Yin Sect, it's been hard on all of you. You must have waited in this deep forest for more than half a month. Since you've come to the Ancient Sacred Province, how could you not visit the Ancient Sacred Sect? Today, I'm here to welcome all of you to the Ancient Sacred Sect for a short stay."
As soon as the voice sounded, Xiao Chen, Senior Hei, and Elder Master Bai slowly walked out of the darkness and appeared in front of Mu Yao and the others.
