For the next two days, the four of them carefully hid their tracks and roamed around the 16 islands in the sea around Xuan Qi Island. Since Lu Ping had a detailed map of Xuan Qi Island, it didn't take much effort for the four of them to rescue the five disciples who were being hunted or captured. The 15 Xuan Ling Blood Refining Realm disciples were naturally killed.
On the evening of the second day, they finally encountered one of the two Blood Condensation Realm disciples. At that time, he was already on the verge of death and was only relying on his willpower to fly. The two cultivators who were chasing him were easily dealt with by Lu Ping, Yao Yong, and Du Feng, who had mostly recovered from his injuries.
On the third day, Lu Ping's group, which had expanded to 10 people, didn't find any other cultivators on the island. Instead, they encountered two Xuan Ling Blood Condensation cultivators who were patrolling nearby.
The group rushed forward and captured the two cultivators.
Hu Lili separated the two cultivators on a reef island and forced them to tell her the details of Xuan Ling Sect's attack on Xuan Qi Island. If they said anything different, they would be smashed into meat paste.
Regarding this, Yao Yong specially demonstrated the power of his brick to the two cultivators. He smashed a Xuan Ling Blood Refining Realm disciple he captured the day before, causing the two Xuan Ling Blood Refining Realm cultivators to vomit a mouthful of blood.
The two cultivators were straightforward and told everything they knew, hoping to survive. Hu Lili saw that the two cultivators told the same story, so she ordered Du Feng to cripple their cultivation and leave them on the reef island to fend for themselves.
Through their narration, Hu Lili and the others learned that there were a total of ten Blood Condensation Realm cultivators from Xuan Ling Sect who were tasked to clear out the sixteen islands. They were tasked to deal with five Zhen Ling Sect Blood Condensation Realm cultivators while the remaining eleven Blood Refining Realm disciples were dealt with by thirty-three Blood Refining Realm disciples. However, after three days, only two of the ten Blood Condensation Realm cultivators had returned, and more than half of the thirty-three Blood Refining Realm disciples were gone.
This immediately alerted Xuan Ling Sect. They believed that there must be another expert in Zhenling that escaped their net. This person should be at least a Mid Blood Condensation cultivator, or else he wouldn't be able to kill eight Early Blood Condensation cultivators in a row. Of course, it was impossible for him to be a Core Forging cultivator. If he was, he would have already killed his way to Xuan Qi Island or escaped Xuan Ling Sect's blockade. To stop a Core Forging cultivator, it would take at least three cultivators of the same level. If he wanted to leave, one or two cultivators of the same level wouldn't be able to stop him.
Xuan Ling Sect had already sent out two teams of ten Blood Condensation cultivators, each led by a Late Blood Condensation cultivator. By now, the attacks from the Blood Condensation experts on Xuan Qi Island had weakened, but Xuan Ling Sect's Core Forging Enlightened Masters still had the advantage in numbers. Zhenling was still relying on the island's defensive formation to defend Xuan Qi Island.
Hu Lili called Lu Ping and the other three Blood Condensation cultivators over and explained the situation on Xuan Qi Island. "The situation has changed again. Xuan Ling Sect has sent out two Late Blood Condensation cultivators to search for us. They won't expect us to sneak into Xuan Qi Island. What's more, Xuan Ling Sect's Core Forging Enlightened Masters still have the advantage in numbers. Furthermore, Xuan Ling Sect has already sensed that the cultivators on Xuan Qi Island would try to destroy the teleportation formation. They're already prepared. If the Blood Condensation cultivators on the island rashly try to destroy the teleportation formation, they might fall into Xuan Ling Sect's trap. "
The Blood Condensation cultivator Lu Ping and the rest rescued was Zhong Jian from Group 2. He was one of the Four Heroes of the Side Hall, along with Yao Yong. Initially, Zhong Jian didn't understand why a Blood Refining cultivator like Hu Lili would be in charge of this group. However, after seeing how well Hu Lili handled everything, and how wise she was, Zhong Jian couldn't help but admire her. Thus, he tacitly agreed to Hu Lili's position in this Zero Hour Group.
Hearing Hu Lili's description of the situation, Zhong Jian asked anxiously, "What should we do?"
Hu Lili hesitated and said, "Unless we destroy the sealing formation."
Yao Yong quickly shook his head. "We can't do that. Putting aside the fact that we're weak, Xuan Ling Sect isn't stupid. Since they know of our existence, how could they only guard against the cultivators on Xuan Qi Island?"
Lu Ping smacked his lips and said, "We can divert their attention in another direction."
Hu Lili's eyes lit up. "What do you mean?"
Lu Ping said, "Do any of you have the Sound Transmission Magic Sword of the cultivators on the island?"
This was indeed for the three Blood Condensation cultivators. The Sound Transmission Magic Sword could only be used by Blood Condensation cultivators.
Zhong Jian asked curiously, "I have one. Why would we use it? Xuan Qi Island is surrounded. If we use it, won't our location be exposed?"
Hu Lili giggled and said, "That's exactly what we're going to do! Now that we have a way to divert Xuan Ling Sect's attention, there are only two problems left. First, who will be the bait? Second, how can we break the sealing formation? "
Hearing Hu Lili's words, everyone couldn't help but think carefully.
Hu Lili hesitated and said, "I've done some research on the sealing formation. I know how to break it in the shortest time. So, we can only go to Xuan Qi Island."
Hu Lili's cultivation was weak, so they didn't want her to be the bait. Besides, without her guidance, it would take a lot of effort to break the sealing formation.
Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Leave the bait to me. The rest of you work together to break the sealing formation."
Yao Yong jumped up and said, "I'll go with you!"
Lu Ping was touched. "Senior Martial Brother, there's no need. The fewer people, the better. Besides, I have a few escape tools. The more people there are, the better it is to break the formation. "
Du Feng stood up and patted Lu Ping's shoulder. "Junior Martial Brother is right. He is the strongest among us. He has the highest chance of survival." Then, he turned to Lu Ping and said, "If anything happens to Junior Martial Brother, I, Du Feng, swear to the heavens that for the rest of my life, I will make sure that every Xuan Ling Sect Core Forging cultivator and above dies with Junior Martial Brother."
Yao Yong also said excitedly, "Me too."
Lu Ping knew that Du Feng was not a talkative person. Today, he said so much to show his friendship. Not to mention, he made a solemn vow! Lu Ping smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me, Lu Ping. If I'm not confident, I wouldn't dare to recommend myself."
Zhong Jian passed the Sound Transmission Sword to Lu Ping and took out a talisman. He hesitated for a moment and passed it to Lu Ping. "Junior Martial Brother Lu, this is the only life-saving talisman my ancestor left me. I'll give it to you today."
Lu Ping took the talisman. It was a Blood Escape Talisman. The talisman was glowing. It was a Blood Condensation Realm talisman. Lu Ping declined. "Since this is Senior Martial Brother's ancestor's item, how can I borrow it?"
Zhong Jian put on a straight face and said, "I know Junior Martial Brother is an expert in talisman crafting. I was thinking of asking Junior Martial Brother to pay me back. Since Junior Martial Brother is so stingy, I won't lend it to you." He pretended to ask Lu Ping for the talisman.
No one expected Zhong Jian to crack a joke, and they were all amused.
Lu Ping laughed and said, "Since Senior Martial Brother is willing to give it to me, how can I return it? I will remember this favor."
Lu Ping was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and asked, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, who is this Sound Transmission Sword for?"
Zhong Jian blushed and said, "This … is for Senior Martial Sister Ma Yu."
When everyone saw Zhong Jian's expression, they burst into laughter again.
