If Qing Xuan had to choose between the two missions, he felt that it was more important to figure out the problem of fate. This was a contradiction. One was a mission from the sect, but it was a tactical mission; the other was his personal discovery, but it was a strategic mission!
Which one was more important?
If he killed the Swordsman here, he would no longer have the chance to investigate in the Land of Exile. This had been a dilemma for him for the past few days. No one could report it to the higher-ups, so he could only make the decision himself!
Just like Lou Xiaoyi, he had never mentioned the problem of his own luck to the sect. This also meant that it would be very difficult for him to explain to the sect why he gave up on the mission and chose an inexplicable direction unless he told them all of his secrets!
This was a problem for the future, so he could think about it calmly. The problem right now was that if he met the Swordsman, what would he do?
As long as the Swordsman saw him, he would definitely understand his intentions! But he would not know that he did not want to kill anyone now!
He thought so hard that his head was about to explode. There was no way to get the best of both worlds, so he could only improvise when the time came!
The situation was getting out of control, and he did not like it! An unclear goal was the worst situation for a mission!
Just as he was feeling lost, one of the cultivators in charge of the defense of the crack in the south suddenly shouted,
"There's something unusual about nine hundred miles to the south! The aura of spiritual opportunity is gathering! "
The cultivators who were originally scattered all over the crack quickly gathered at this location, leaving only a small number of them to guard against accidents. This was a pre-planned plan, so they did not appear to be panicking. This kind of situation had happened several times, but it did not mean that the people in the crack would definitely rush out. However, they should not let their guard down. This was the experience of the cultivators in the Land of Exile for tens of thousands of years, so no one would complain.
But this time, it was real!
More than 30 foreign cultivators rushed out and formed a defensive formation in the shortest amount of time possible. This indicated two things. First, they didn't want to admit defeat so easily. Second, they were well aware of the situation that the native cultivators were in!
On the side of the Land of Exile, a leading cultivator stepped forward to read out the policy. This was a routine they were used to. It showed their tolerance and made it easier for the other forces to surround them!
However, the stowaways were not stupid at all. After the formation was completed, they immediately advanced forward. The cultivators of the Land of Exile could not let them escape. Spells flew, and the battle suddenly broke out.
Qing Xuan did not step forward. Instead, he observed from afar. It was not because he was afraid of the enemy, but because it was his responsibility. He stood outside the field and looked for the evil spirit that could possess cultivators. Of course, it was also to avoid the Swordsman for the time being. Until now, he had not figured out whether it was better to complete the hunting mission or not. Or was it better to pursue the truth of Xuanyuan's secret?
As an outstanding disciple of the Three Pure Ones, he believed that the reason why humans were the wisest of all creatures was that they knew the importance of things and knew how to be flexible. In the current situation, there was no need to think too much about which was more important.
The battle was very fierce, but there were no casualties for the time being. The stowaways knew the significance of the formation. They were few in number, and if they lost the formation, they would be defeated one by one. However, they were obviously united and did not want to lose their companions. The indigenous cultivators did not fight with their lives on the line. The cultivators from the Heaven-defying Sect in the center would arrive soon. There were also cultivators from the Blood River Sect and the Gu Poison Sect further away. There was no need to fight now.
If they missed the formation, it would be better to run than to chase. In the cultivation world, it was always easier to run than to chase, especially when the stowaways were very strong. They were not a group of second-rate cultivators who did not have the complete Dao of Heaven to deal with. Their biggest advantage was the advantage of numbers and the advantage of being the landlord!
The Yuanying at the back did not make a move. Under normal circumstances, it would be easy for the Yuanying to break the formation and kill them one by one. Then what? They still did not know where the evil spirit was! They hoped that it would be more chaotic. Only when it was more chaotic, the evil spirit would not be able to control himself and interfere!
The cultivators of the Land of Exile were scattered. There was a difference in individual strength and there was no formation to connect them. This was the inevitable result. However, this situation was quickly improved because the cultivators of the Heaven-defying Sect who were closest to them had arrived.
The number of people surrounding them was still increasing, because it was difficult to coordinate in the crack. It seemed that the southern section was close to the northern section, but this was in the normal space of the Land of Exile. If it was in the crack, it often meant that the distance was longer. The key was that it was impossible to find the way!
Qing Xuan's first thought was that maybe the evil spirit was not on the same side as the stowaways! The reason why they came to make trouble might be because of their eccentric nature? Or maybe they wanted to find a stronger body? Or maybe there were other reasons that humans could not understand for the time being?
The battle began to become fierce. The united stowaways and the numerous indigenous cultivators …
In a group fight in the cultivation world, how to fight with numbers was a test of coordination ability! For example, there were now more than two hundred cultivators from the Land of Exile surrounding them. One after another, the cultivators from the Path of Blood River Venomous Insect also joined in. How to integrate the strength of these people and form a joint force was a problem!
Moreover, to surround these stowaways from all directions, they had to invest their strength in every direction. This also diluted the advantage of the Land of Exile in terms of numbers.
Of course, the stowaways could only solve the problem temporarily. After a long time, if this method of breaking through failed, it was likely that they would be wiped out.
The cultivators from the Land of Exile fought and retreated. They were experienced. Since the orthodoxies could not cooperate well with each other, they formed teams of their own orthodoxies and distributed themselves in various positions in the direction of the stowaways. This move might not be able to finish off the opponents in the shortest time, but the advantage was that it was safe. The longer it dragged on, the tighter the net would be!
Qing Xuan vaguely felt that something was wrong!
This method of breaking through was too old-fashioned. It seemed that they were gathering into a group and did not want to give up on any one of them. In fact, it was just a sign that they were going to die together! When the cultivators near the crack in the sky were all gathered, the division of labor was clear, and the last chance would be lost!
The true meaning of escape was to lose a part and free another part! Which part could not be lost? This was no longer an escape, but a penetration!
Whether it was sacrificing the minority to benefit the majority or sacrificing the majority to protect the minority, this was just a technical choice based on the strength of the opponent!
He did not believe that with the wisdom of the cultivators, they would not be able to understand the logic of ordinary mortals sacrificing the tail to survive! How could they not understand the meaning of sacrifice when they were in the cultivation world?
If they still did this and gave up the best chance to create chaos, it could only mean one thing. The stowaways had other tricks up their sleeves!
What was it?
There was no time for Qing Xuan to think carefully, because in his sight, a familiar figure appeared in the sky!
His old opponent had arrived!
