Originally, Yi Tian wanted to infiltrate the Righteous Path Alliance to investigate. After all, the Righteous Path had relied on the Li Fire Sect's treasure trove to make a name for themselves in recent years. This was not good news for him.
Furthermore, Yi Tian had his doubts about this. Logically speaking, it would be considered lucky to discover one or two, but from the way the Righteous Path Alliance acted, it seemed like they had discovered quite a few. As such, he could not help but suspect that the Righteous Path Alliance and the Li Fire Sect had secretly collaborated. After all, only the Sect Master of the Li Fire Sect in the Middle State would have such a large amount of information about the treasure trove.
Previously, when he interacted with Mao Butong, Yi Tian seemed to have sensed that the Tianli Sect had also unearthed some ruins. However, he was temporarily prevented from entering due to the seal.
This time, he received a message from Mao Butong. It was highly likely that Mao Butong was trapped while exploring the ruins, which was why he wanted to seek his help. As such, Yi Tian was prepared to raise the price. For the time being, there was no harm in taking everything in the treasure trove. However, he had to raise the condition of having priority in choosing.
Originally, Yi Tian had the time to meet Mao Butong after the trade fair ended. However, since Mao Butong had a request for him, he might as well put on airs. After all, Mao Butong was more anxious than him.
On the afternoon of the second day of the trade fair, Yi Tian slowly left the Jun Capital City and flew towards the five-kilometer slope south of the city. Along the way, he spread out his divine sense and scanned the area in front of him several times. After a while, his expression changed several times. His divine sense sensed a faint spiritual pressure fluctuation from the five-kilometer slope, but it was definitely not Mao Butong himself.
As such, he stopped in midair and began to ponder. Although he had used the Thousand Faces Technique to change his appearance, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be a cultivator who had cultivated a mystic technique that could see through his disguise.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind as he revealed a hesitant expression. He was momentarily at a loss as to how to proceed. At this moment, his divine sense sensed that there was a reaction from the communication jade charm. He took it out and saw that it said, "I'm already waiting for you. Fellow Daoist, please come quickly. I have something to discuss with you."
Pursing his lips, Yi Tian made a decision in an instant. It was better to go and see what was going on. At the very least, with his cultivation, even if the other party wanted to launch a sneak attack, they might not have the chance to do so.
Ten breaths later, a green light flew over the Ten-Mile Slope. It hovered a few times before slowly descending. After revealing himself, Yi Tian called out in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Mao, I've arrived. Why don't you quickly come out and meet me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual power within a one-kilometer radius fluctuated violently, isolating this place from the outside world. A white halo flashed and covered the entire Ten Kilometer Slope.
From the looks of it, he had stepped into a formation that had been set up by someone else. Yi Tian's mouth twitched, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. The formation here seemed to be rapidly mobilizing the surrounding spiritual power to trap him, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't difficult to discover that the person controlling this formation was a dabbler.
Moreover, the formation pattern on the light film looked very familiar. He stared at it carefully, and the smile on his face deepened. Wasn't this the formation plate that he exchanged at the trade fair yesterday?
The communication jade charm in his hand buzzed and vibrated again. He looked down and saw that it said, "Break out of the formation and we'll talk in detail." Suddenly, a figure swept past from a distance and stopped in mid-air. He looked up and immediately confirmed that the figure was not Mao Butong.
In that case, the identity of the man in the sky was on the verge of being revealed. A thought flashed through his mind. Mao Butong and Xiahou Cangqiong were both Yuanying practitioners of the Tianli Sect. This time, Xiahou Cangqiong seemed to be deliberately testing him. There must be something behind it.
They would have to wait until he broke out of the formation to continue the discussion. As for the content of the discussion, it was most likely related to formations.
However, the message in his Communication Talisman should have been sent by this person, so there was no point in thinking too much about it. Yi Tian then took out a Formation Breaking Awl and slowly poured his spiritual power into it. A brilliant light flashed on top of it. Then, he stretched out his right hand and took out the Sundial Compass and began to scan the weak points of the formation.
Not long after, he found three weak points with the help of the Sundial Compass. Actually, Yi Tian was also trying to see whether the formation plate he refined or the Formation Breaking Awl was stronger.
After confirming the breaking point, he muttered an incantation and thrust the Formation-Breaking Awl in his hand into the air. With a whoosh, the three-inch-long Formation-Breaking Awl flew out and hit the white light barrier.
Suddenly, the restriction outside the formation became extremely unstable. A large amount of spiritual power was drawn out from the earth vein to stabilize the formation. Shaoqing saw the Formation Breaking Awl disappear without a trace after entering the halo.
The person in mid-air was stunned. Then, a look of deep disappointment appeared on his face. He could not help but mutter, "Why can't this person do it? Do I really have to go to Tiandao Sect and ask Du Ziheng for help?"
Before he finished speaking, a spot of light suddenly appeared where the Formation Breaking Awl hit. In less than ten breaths, the spot of light continued to expand into a one-foot gap.
Yi Tian, who was originally standing on the ground, turned into a ray of green light and flew out. After he left the formation, the opening slowly closed again until it disappeared without a trace. It was as if nothing had happened before.
After leaving the formation, Yi Tian was not in a hurry to go forward. He just stopped in the air and wrote a message on the communication jade charm. After three breaths, the person slowly flew before him. He looked at him and said, "Brother Yi, is it? This old man, Xiahou Cangqiong, greets you. "
There was no joy or anger on Yi Tian's face. He just faintly replied, "Fellow Daoist Xiahou seems to have lost face for the Tianli Sect."
Xiahou Cangqiong was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. His skin was extraordinarily thick. He did not care about Yi Tian's mockery at all. After looking at him again, he asked, "Brother Yi's attainments in formations have really broadened my horizons. It's no wonder Brother Buyi recommended you to me."
"Then, can I assume that Fellow Daoist Xiahou was testing my strength earlier?" Yi Tian's face revealed a hint of anger.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. As the saying goes, seeing is believing." Xiahou Cangqiong said without changing his expression, "I just wanted to see if you have the strength to participate in the rescue."
After hearing that, Yi Tian was stunned. He asked with a little doubt in his eyes, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Mao is trapped and needs help?"
Xiahou Cangqiong nodded, and then he explained the reason in detail, causing Yi Tian to be speechless as well. It turned out that the Tianli Sect had found a Li Fire Sect ruin decades ago. After making preparations a few years ago, they cooperated with the Righteous Alliance to explore it.
However, there was no news of Mao Butong and the others for several years. Recently, Xiahou Cangqiong received a message that they were trapped in the array of the ruin and needed help.
Fortunately, Mao Butong had left behind a communication jade charm before he left in case of an emergency. This was why Xiahou Cangqiong came looking for him.
