When Zhao Hai saw the Demonic Blood Poisonous Handkerchief, he knew that he couldn't let it fall on the Vajra Bell. Otherwise, the bell would be finished. Thinking of this, Zhao Hai took out his staff and placed it to the side. Then he formed a Sun Wheel seal with both hands and shouted, "Forward!" Then he took out his staff and pointed it towards the Demonic Blood Poisonous Handkerchief.
Just as Zhao Hai uttered the words, the Buddhist power in the sky came from the Vajra Scripture and directly blended into Zhao Hai's body. Then a huge shadow appeared on Zhao Hai's body. This shadow was also a Buddha, but its appearance couldn't be seen clearly. The Buddha became incomparably huge and then pointed its staff towards the Demonic Blood Poisonous Handkerchief.
It was impossible to retract the Demonic Blood Poisonous Handkerchief as it flew towards the Buddha. The Demonic Blood Poisonous Handkerchief covered the Buddha's body, but the Buddha suddenly turned into a golden light. Then, under everyone's gaze, the Demonic Blood Poisonous Handkerchief turned from a huge black handkerchief into small pieces and scattered in all directions.
"Nine Words True Formula!" Na Yun looked towards the direction of the forest and muttered.
Wu Zui also chanted and said, "Amitabha, Nine Words True Formula. A disciple who can use the Nine Words True Formula to such a degree is really good. Na Yun, do you know this disciple?"
Na Yun murmured, "Yes, Martial Ancestor. That's Junior Brother Jing Hai. He just joined our Iron Buddha Temple less than a year ago. He used to be a Rogue Cultivator."
Wu Zui asked, "Is he one of your people?"
Na Yun nodded and said, "Yes, so after he made a great contribution, I gave him the Vajra Bell. I didn't expect him to be able to use the Nine Words True Formula so well. Speaking of which, he has participated in many missions. When Na Yu attacked Ren Li of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he played an important role. He also participated in the Sky Pit Secret Domain. Moreover, he was the disciple who brought back the image jade slip. It can be said that he was the one who discovered the Sky Pit Secret Domain. Although he's only at the Mortal Transformation Ninth Stage, he's very alert and talented in Body Cultivation. He's a good seedling."
Wu Zui nodded and said, "Good, such a disciple is worth nurturing."
After he said that, Wu Zui didn't say anything else. However, Nua Cloud kept these words in his mind. At the same time, his impression of Zhao Hai was very good. For a disciple in his line to be praised by Wu Zui, Nua Cloud's face was bright. Moreover, this was very important for his future development in the temple. This meant that he had the ability to recognize people.
When the Iron Buddha Temple inspected a disciple, they didn't just look at his strength or battle record. They also wanted to see if he had the ability to manage the other disciples well. They also wanted to see if he had the ability to recognize people. If a sect wanted to develop, it wasn't enough to rely on one or two people.
At this time, the battle in the forest had reached its climax. The people of the Nightwalker Sect didn't expect that their Demonic Blood Poison Handkerchief wouldn't do anything to Zhao Hai's group. This was really beyond their expectations.
Since the Demonic Blood Poison Handkerchief didn't work, they could only attack. The Nightwalker Sect's disciples wore black clothes and directly attacked Zhao Hai's camp. However, before they could enter the camp, they triggered some traps. Several of the Nightwalker Sect's disciples were directly injured.
Seeing this, the Nightwalker Sect's disciples immediately threw out a large number of talismans, directly destroying the traps. Then they killed their way into the camp.
At this time, the Iron Buddha Temple's disciples were already waiting for them. However, there were still some disciples chanting the Diamond Sutra in order to prevent the Nightwalker Sect's disciples from attacking.
Soon, the Iron Buddha Temple's disciples and the Nightwalker Sect's disciples started fighting. However, the Iron Buddha Temple's disciples had the advantage. In this situation, the Nightwalker Sect's disciples didn't have the slightest advantage.
Seeing this, the Nightwalker Sect's disciples finally retreated. They were assassins and weren't good at fighting head-on. Now that the sneak attack had turned into a head-on attack, they naturally didn't have the advantage.
After the Nightwalker Sect's disciples retreated, Zhao Hai put away the Diamond Bell. Then they began to clean up the battlefield and treat the injured. This time, the Nightwalker Sect's disciples didn't have the advantage. At the same time, the Nightwalker Sect's disciples didn't suffer any losses. Although both sides had a few injured disciples, none of them died.
After cleaning up the battlefield and setting up the anti-formation traps, everyone began to rest. However, Zhao Hai and Nuan Yin gathered together to discuss their next move.
Nuan Yin looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I think we shouldn't be too far away tomorrow. After we leave, we won't be able to use the formation plate we got from the Solitary Dao Sect. If people attack us, some of us will be injured, and we might even die. This is something I don't want to see. I think we should act like we did the first day."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I also think the same. How about this, Senior Brother Nuan Ren and Senior Brother Nuan Yin will go to the left wing. Since the possibility of the rear being attacked is much lower, we can let Senior Brother Nuan Ren's group rest. The day after tomorrow, Senior Brother Nuan Zhang's group will go to the rear. What do you all think?"
Everyone nodded. Then Zhao Hai said, "Among the groups, which group has injured people, we'll transfer them to the middle group first. Then we'll transfer people from the middle group to fill up the ranks. Does anyone have any objections?"
Nobody had any objections. They knew that if they really moved forward like they did the first day, then the possibility of the middle group being attacked would be the lowest. Because of this, transferring the injured to the middle group would not only allow them to rest, but it would also ensure the group's fighting strength.
Zhao Hai said, "For the next few days, we need to be prepared. The Nightwalker Sect's people have their eyes on us, so they might keep pestering us. So we can't let our guard down. For the rest of the night, half of us will rest and the other half will be on guard." Zhao Hai nodded.
Nuan Yin nodded and said, "Alright, then it's decided. Senior Brother Jing Hai just used the Mantra, so his consumption isn't small. You should rest early. Junior Brother Nuan Zhen, you'll be at the front tomorrow. You should also rest. The three of us will stay here."
Zhao Hai didn't decline. He nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as Senior Brother says." Then Zhao Hai went to his beast skin and laid down to rest. Nuan Zhen wasn't polite and also went back to rest. Only Nuan Yin and the other two were sitting cross-legged, twirling the prayer beads in their hands.
However, the people of the Nightwalker Sect didn't attack them and allowed them to rest for the night. The next morning, everyone ate something and continued on their way. They walked even slower than before and returned to the formation they had on the first day. The five small groups were very close to each other and could hear each other's words. They didn't want to give the other party any chance to attack them. Although this was dangerous, if the other three sects joined forces, they could still surround them. However, this was the best way for them to deal with this situation.
In the morning, nothing happened. It seems like the Nightwalker Sect had given up on attacking them. However, Zhao Hai didn't relax. This was because he knew that there were still people from the Nightwalker Sect within ten li of them. To be honest, this wasn't a good feeling.
However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything about this. He still made the group slowly move forward. At noon, he had everyone eat. However, he was more careful. When it was time to eat, they were divided into two groups. One group was eating while the other group was on guard.
After eating, they rested for a while. Then in the afternoon, they continued to move forward. Zhao Hai wanted to use this time to restore everyone's fighting strength as soon as possible. This way, they would be able to maintain their peak condition.
In the afternoon, the people from the Nightwalker Sect still didn't come. At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Hai found a place to set up camp. This time, the camp was the same as before. Outside, there were formations and traps. After eating, half of the disciples went to rest while the other half stayed on guard. It can be said that their defense was watertight.
During this process, Zhao Hai discovered that the people from the Nightwalker Sect wanted to attack them several times. However, in the end, they gave up. Just like this, Zhao Hai didn't relax. On the contrary, they became even more nervous. The people who were on guard had their eyes wide open. They knew that the people from the Nightwalker Sect liked to attack at night.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Hai and the others went to rest. At this time, Nua Yin and the others were on guard. Not long after their shift, an alarm was suddenly heard. The people who were resting didn't move while the people on guard immediately rushed over. What followed was a fight. In the end, two disciples from the Iron Buddha Temple were injured. However, there were also people from the Nightwalker Sect who were injured.
The next morning, during breakfast, Nua Yin frowned and said, "These people from the Nightwalker Sect are really annoying. If they keep pestering us like this, then sooner or later, we'll have a problem. Jing Hai, do you have any ideas?"
Zhao thought for a moment, then said, "Today, we will move forward normally, but each team will take five people. When we move forward, they will hide in the woods behind us. These twenty-five people will be led by me, while the rest of you will move forward. At the same time, don't let anyone see that we are missing people. The camp will still be as big as before, and the formation will be loose so that they won't notice that we have left. When it's time to rest, we will still have fifty people on guard. When night falls, if they attack us, then I will lead the remaining twenty-five people to directly block the person who attacked us, so that they won't be able to escape. At that time, there will be no way for them to entangle us like this."
When Nua Yin heard Zhao Hai, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he nodded and said, "Alright, that's a good idea. Don't worry, we'll make sure that no one notices that we're missing people."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Nua Zhen and said, "Brother Nua, you need to be extra careful. Since you have the formation in your hands, you can be the first to notice the enemy. Therefore, you need to be extra careful. Also, pay attention to the Nightwalker Sect's poison."
Nua Zhen nodded and said, "Rest assured, I'll be careful."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Everyone, go back to your respective teams. Choose your people and walk for a while. When I feel that it's appropriate, I'll send out a signal. Those who are chosen should immediately hide in the woods. Everyone else will continue to move forward." The group nodded, then they immediately returned to their teams to choose their people.
It didn't take long for the group to pick a place to hide. The group didn't move slowly, and they were very careful with their defenses. Zhao was also observing the surrounding situation, trying to find a suitable place to hide everyone.
Before long, they arrived at a place where the trees were denser. Zhao Hai directly sent out a signal. Then his figure moved and jumped onto a tree to hide. The other people who were chosen did the same. All of them jumped onto a tree and hid.
On the other hand, Nua Zhen and the others didn't stop, they were still moving forward. They were very careful. Zhao Hai already told the people who were hiding that without his orders, nobody was to move or make a sound. Everyone had to hide well.
After seeing Nua Zhen and the others leave, Zhao Hai kept looking around. He wanted to see if the people from the Nightwalker Sect would appear. One must know that they weren't deliberately hiding their tracks. Therefore, it would be very easy for the people from the Nightwalker Sect to track them.
An hour passed, Nua Zhen and the others have been walking for an hour. However, Zhao Hai and the others were still hiding in the woods. At this time, two black-clothed people suddenly appeared in the woods. They looked at the place where Nua Zhen and the others were walking before they chased after them. They didn't see Zhao Hai and the others.
Zhao Hai looked at the two people passing by, but he didn't show himself. After another half an hour, a group of 30 disciples from the Nightwalker Sect appeared in the woods. They didn't stop and directly chased after them.
After another half an hour, no one from the Nightwalker Sect appeared. Zhao Hai felt that it was about time, so he came out of his hiding place. The others also came out of their hiding places. Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Follow me." Then he walked to the side, not following the tracks they left behind.
Although the disciples of the Iron Buddha Temple didn't understand why Zhao Hai didn't follow the tracks they left behind, they didn't say anything and just followed Zhao Hai. They were already used to listening to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's performance in the past few days had completely conquered them, making them willing to listen to his orders.
Along the way, the plants that they passed through immediately returned to their original state. Even if they were tracking experts, they wouldn't be able to find their tracks. Then they ran and chased after them. Their speed was very fast. At noon, the people from the Nightwalker Sect finally appeared in Zhao Hai's perception range. In other words, he was less than 10 li away from them. Zhao Hai slowed down and followed them from a distance.
