Jiang Xinyue felt a strong sense of defeat when she saw the impenetrable defense on all four sides. After much effort, she had finally snuck into White Deer Mountain.
However, this level of defense was not something that Jiang Xinyue could break through with her current cultivation base.
Could it be that she was only one step away from entering?
Jiang Xinyue was extremely indignant. Her mood was obviously affected and she was slightly depressed.
Qin Yi consoled her, "Xinyue, don't worry. This defense is indeed very tight. However, if all the rogue cultivators rush in, the so-called defense is nothing much. It won't be able to withstand the attack of the rogue cultivators. Unless the Yun family is willing to completely fall out with the rogue cultivators and fight to the death. "
Even if Qin Yi used his knees to think that the Yun family absolutely did not have this kind of courage to fight to the death with the rogue cultivators.
Because they had taken shortcuts, they had reached the central area of the ancestral temple much earlier than the other rogue cultivators. At this stage, all they could do was wait patiently.
However, after waiting for half a day, not a single rogue cultivator had arrived.
This was a little strange.
Qin Yi and Jiang Xinyue looked at each other, both feeling that something was wrong. Could all the rogue cultivators have gotten lost?
That didn't make sense. There were tens of thousands of rogue cultivators who had entered White Deer Mountain. Even if most of them could not find the central area of the ancestral temple, there should be some lucky ones who came here by accident, right?
However, half a day had passed and not a single one had appeared. This situation was obviously not right.
The two of them hid in the dark. Qin Yi was about to speak when he suddenly saw a group of people approaching from the foot of the mountain. It was the Yun family again.
The leader of this group of people was Yun Yao.
Yun Yao led a group of elites. All of them were like wolves and tigers, looking extremely valiant. Furthermore, one of them had two eagle-like creatures on his shoulders. The eyes of the creatures were extremely sharp, as if they could see through all illusions in the world.
Qin Yi grabbed Jiang Xinyue and hid in the dense forest.
An ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Yun Yao brought this group of elites to the pass. Inside the checkpoint, someone had already come out to welcome him. With a flattering tone, he said, "Lord Yun Yao, welcome. Please forgive me for not going out to welcome you."
Yun Yao, however, did not play any fake polite tricks. He waved his hand and said, "Captain Meng, you don't have to be so polite. This old man has been ordered by the Second Elder to hunt down the remnants of the Yun Family. In the past few days, have there been any strange and suspicious people who have come to visit your checkpoint? "
Hearing this, Captain Meng hurriedly said, "This subordinate has also heard that there was an accident at the foot of White Deer Mountain. Therefore, for the past two days, this subordinate has personally led the patrol team. Please don't worry, Lord Yun Yao. I have two to three hundred brothers here. If that Yun Family descends into our trap, I will definitely capture him and hand him over to the Second Clan Elder. "
Captain Meng's words exuded a strong sense of confidence.
Yun Yao faintly smiled and slightly nodded. "Very good. What the Second Clan Elder admires the most are those who are loyal to their duty. You need to be more attentive here. If there is anyone suspicious, you must report to me immediately. "
It could be seen that Yun Yao had not come to this checkpoint specifically. He had been patrolling along the way. This was only the first checkpoint of his patrol.
Hearing this, Captain Meng felt a little awkward. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Speak your mind," Yun Yao said indifferently.
"Lord, this subordinate is thinking about how I should deal with the large number of wandering cultivators who have broken through the checkpoint of White Deer Mountain. Once they arrive here, how should this subordinate deal with them? Even if the two to three hundred men I have fought with all my might, I still won't be able to stop the endless stream of wandering cultivators. "
This was what Captain Meng was most worried about.
Yun Yao smiled indifferently. "You don't have to worry about this. In the next few days, you don't have to worry about the wandering cultivators coming here. However, in the next few days, both you and I have a very heavy burden on our shoulders. If we can't capture the remnants of the Jiang Family in the next few days and get them to fan the flames among the wandering cultivators, there might be a huge change in the situation. "
Yun Yao was not being an alarmist. Although the wandering cultivators had been deceived by the rumors they had spread, the wandering cultivators were not stupid.
However, rogue cultivators were not stupid. Once someone found out that the so-called treasure was just a scam, they would definitely come to their senses.
At that time, the wandering cultivators who had been fooled might become even angrier and become even more hostile towards the Yun Family.
If the Yun Family was still unable to excavate the Jiang Family's inheritance treasure by then, they might really have to give up on White Deer Mountain for the time being.
After all, although the Yun Family was rich, there was no need for them to have a head-on conflict with the wandering cultivators.
Yun Yao was in a hurry. It was obvious that he did not intend to reveal too much to Captain Meng. After giving a few words of advice, he hurriedly left with his team.
Seeing this group of people leave, Qin Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
He could tell that Yun Yao definitely had a high status in the branch of the Second Clan Elder. His strength was also very impressive.
Most importantly, the two living creatures that he had brought with him were spiritual beasts that were very adept at tracking and hunting. Even Qin Yi felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.
If Yun Yao had launched a search in this area just now, it would have been very difficult for Qin Yi and Jiang Xinyue to escape from him.
Even so, it still made Qin Yi feel an inexplicable sense of danger.
Previously in the capital, every step of the plan had been carried out smoothly without any mishaps. Qin Yi couldn't help but think that things were too simple.
In the capital, his enemy was the Yun Family's Third Clan Elder, Yun Chen. Now, his opponent was the Yun Family's most cunning old fox, Yun Qian.
The wisdom and strength of these two clan elders were obviously not the same.
"Xinyue, did you hear Yun Yao's tone? For the time being, the wandering cultivators will not be able to come here. What does this mean? "
Jiang Xinyue was also a little puzzled. "Could it be that the wandering cultivators have been trapped by them?"
However, Qin Yi shook his head. "That's impossible! The Yun Family does not have that many people. If they could trap tens of thousands of wandering cultivators, how terrifying would the Yun Family's strength be? I'm guessing that they must have lured the wandering cultivators to somewhere else. "
"Lured them to somewhere else? Are the wandering cultivators that easy to talk to? They would listen to the Yun Family's guidance? "Jiang Xinyue was a little surprised.
"We can use rumors, but so can they." Qin Yi's expression was a little ugly.
From the looks of it, the Yun Family had already made their move.
Jiang Xinyue was also a little surprised when she heard this. She could not help but ask, "Then should we lure the wandering cultivators back?"
