Qin Yi's brain worked much faster than Jiang Xinyue's. From the moment Yun Yao appeared, he had sensed that something was amiss.
Luring away the wandering cultivators and strengthening the search around the ancestral temple.
What did this mean?
It meant that Yun Qian's people had already figured out Qin Yi's plan. They guessed that Yun Qian wanted to use the chaos of the wandering cultivators to fish in troubled waters.
The deployment they had made was obviously very targeted.
Jiang Xinyue was an intelligent person. She quickly understood everything from Qin Yi's words.
"Xinyue, the second elder of the Yun Family is indeed not someone that idiot Yun Chen can compare to. Every move he makes shows his strength. We cannot underestimate him. "
Jiang Xinyue agreed. "Of the nine elders of the Yun Family, Yun Qian is the most cunning. Some say that he was once a contender for the position of Patriarch of the Yun Family. It's a pity that he didn't have a strong backer when he was young and didn't have his own people. Things are different now. "
"They've already figured out our plan to use the wandering cultivators to fish in troubled waters. They might even have guessed that we would use this opportunity to sneak into the ancestral temple. That's why they've set up such tight defenses around the ancestral temple. Now that they've sent out a team to capture us, it looks like they've at least seen through our plans. "
Qin Yi had to admit that Yun Qian was indeed difficult to deal with.
If it had been Yun Chen, conflict would have broken out a long time ago with so many wandering cultivators entering White Deer Mountain. White Deer Mountain would have been in chaos by now.
But Yun Qian had cleverly lured the wandering cultivators away.
Although this wasn't a long-term plan, it could buy them a few days' time. If he and Jiang Xinyue really tried to enter the ancestral temple without a care in the next few days, they might really end up in the Yun Family's trap.
All these details showed that the Yun Family's focus was not on the wandering cultivators, but on them.
Yun Qian might even have noticed that the person behind the scenes was definitely related to the Jiang Family.
For the Yun Family, as long as they captured the Yun Family, they might be able to find clues to the Jiang Family's inheritance.
Why did Yun Qian spare no effort to station himself on White Deer Mountain?
Was it really for the Fengshui of White Deer Mountain? This was obviously nonsense!
To put it bluntly, those who came to Bailu Mountain, no matter which faction they belonged to, whether it was the Yun Clan, the Jiang Clan, or the unaffiliated cultivators, they all came for the legacy of the Jiang Clan.
At this moment, as a girl, Jiang Xinyue was not as decisive as Qin Yi. There was an obvious inquiry in his eyes.
Obviously, Jiang Xinyue didn't know what to do with the things that had happened one after another.
"Let's leave this place first." Qin Yi secretly patted Jiang Xinyue's shoulder.
In Jiang Xinyue's eyes, there was a strong reluctance. He was already very close to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. He was only a step away from entering.
However, he was just a step away. Could it be that all his efforts would be wasted just like that? Jiang Xinyue was obviously unwilling to give up.
"Xinyue, where there's life, there's hope. The closer we are to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the greater the risk. Go back and study the map. I believe that if the ancestors of the Jiang Family really enshrined the legacy relic here, there must be a secret passage to enter. "
Qin Yi had not seen the map, so he did not say much. However, at this time, he still had to persuade Jiang Xinyue, lest she become hot-headed and rush in recklessly.
Jiang Xinyue did not lose her rationality. The calm look in Qin Yi's eyes calmed her down a little.
"I'll listen to you." Jiang Xinyue nodded and quietly left the scene with Qin Yi.
The two of them did not choose to retreat, but chose to travel through a remote area.
After seeing the two Spirit Beasts, Qin Yi knew that he had to be wary of not only the hunting team, but also the two feathered beasts.
It could even be said that the two feathered beasts were a greater threat than any of the Yun Family experts.
Fortunately, White Deer Mountain was covered in dense forests, so it was not difficult for them to find a place to hide.
Two hours later, the two of them stopped.
Qin Yi observed for a while, then said, "Xinyue, stop for a moment. This place should be safe for the time being. "
As a descendant of the royal family, Jiang Xinyue's mental fortitude was not bad. It was obvious that she had calmed down from her previous panic.
Now, she began to survey the terrain again and continued to confirm something on the map.
After all, it was a secret of the royal family. As an outsider, Qin Yi naturally could not go near to see it. Instead, he chose to patrol the periphery, as a way to protect Jiang Xinyue.
Seeing Qin Yi's gentlemanly behavior, Jiang Xinyue admired Qin Yi even more. She said, "Qin Yi, we are both from the same sect and friends. There is no need to avoid suspicion between us. My mind is in a mess right now. Can you come and help me study it? "
It was an invitation.
Qin Yi pondered for a moment. He had no interest in the Jiang Family's inheritance. Moreover, after he had merged the Heavenly Fire and the Phoenix Perch Wood Spirit Fruit, he really did not need the Jiang Family's inheritance. The reason why he came here was purely to help a friend, to help a friend, to help a fellow disciple, and to attack the Yun Family at the same time. It could be considered as indirectly contributing to the Yin-Yang Academy.
As for the inheritance relic, deep down in Qin Yi's heart, he still hoped that Jiang Xinyue could obtain it.
He also firmly believed that if Jiang Xinyue obtained the inheritance relic, she would definitely be able to turn the tables on the Yun Family.
Hearing Jiang Xinyue's invitation, Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then walked over.
This map looked no different from an ordinary map. It was densely packed with routes. After looking at it for a long time, Qin Yi finally made some sense of it.
However, Qin Yi still could not help asking, "Xinyue, how did you sort out such complicated routes?"
Jiang Xinyue smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I was just guessing blindly. However, this map is indeed a map of White Deer Mountain. These important routes are marked quite clearly. "
Qin Yi shook his head. "If this is really a map passed down by the Jiang Family, I feel that it is definitely not as simple as it looks. Perhaps there is something more to this map. If it is just telling you the routes of White Deer Mountain, there is no meaning at all. "
For example, Jiang Xinyue knew the routes around the imperial ancestral temple like the back of her hand. What was the use of that? She could not enter the core area of the imperial ancestral temple at all.
It was not that Jiang Xinyue had not considered that there was something more to this map. However, Jiang Xinyue was also at her wit's end as to where the mystery lay.
"Could there be a hidden layer?" Qin Yi picked up the map and studied it carefully.
