"Wu Lei Zi's true identity is Black Wuchang of the Hades. We can use him as a breakthrough!" Lu Qingshan said with certainty.
If it were any other day, it would be very reckless of him to rashly point out the identity of a cultivator of the Hades without being able to explain his source of information. He would definitely be questioned many times.
However, the situation was urgent now, so he couldn't care too much about it.
Disregarding everything else, just for the sake of his own life, he didn't have any need to hide what he knew.
As expected, Dantai Qingrun didn't ask Lu Qingshan how he knew of Wu Lei Zi's identity. Instead, she swiftly turned around and ordered, "Immediately organize all the information in the jade slips about the cultivators who are related to Wu Lei Zi."
With Black Wuchang's high status, it was enough to rely on the various lines he radiated to find the other cultivators of the Hades.
Upon receiving the order, the Steward Cultivator of the Stick Department organized people and quickly got busy in the enormous information vault of the Stick Department.
As for the cultivators of the Spiritual Necessity Department, they had already taken out the formation flags and used them to set up the Main Negative Nine Palaces Formation.
After arranging the formation flags according to the designated Nine Palaces Formation Points, the Steward Cultivator of the Spiritual Necessity Department pointed with both hands and lightly formed a seal.
On each formation flag, an illusory thread of Spiritual Power rapidly shot out. These Spiritual Power threads wove into a set of complicated veins.
The instant the veins were formed, a light barrier like a city wall slowly rose and then slowly closed. Like an inverted bowl, it completely enveloped the surrounding area of the River Suppression Tower.
The Main Negative Nine Palaces Formation was completed.
.....
"Deputy Tower Master, this is the information we've organized!" An hour later, the Steward Cultivator of the Stick Department presented a jade slip once again.
"However, the true strength of these cultivators is unknown.
The information we've provided is the strength of these cultivators on the surface. It's not reliable. "The Steward Cultivator of the Stick Department solemnly reminded.
For the sake of hiding, the cultivators of the Hades Mountains had to disguise their identities on the surface. They couldn't be trusted.
Take Black Wuchang for example. On the surface, he was just a loose cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. Who would have thought that he was a Golden Elixir cultivator?
If they were to send people to cause trouble for Black Wuchang in the same way they would deal with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then they would be like sheep in a tiger's den, and would be swallowed whole.
Dantai Qingrun nodded, indicating that she understood. She took the jade slip and checked the information in it. Then, she handed the jade slip to Gao Tian, and fell into deep thought.
The numerous suspicious cultivators pointed out in the jade slip were distributed throughout Zhenjiang City.
At this time, Zhenjiang City was filled with groups of magical beasts. If one was not careful, they would be attacked by magical beasts. It was not as smooth as it usually was.
Small teams could move freely and nimbly in battle. Even if they encountered a group of magical beasts, they could choose to avoid them. If they were to fight in a large team and encountered a group of magical beasts, there was no way to avoid them.
Therefore, splitting up became the most suitable method.
Dantai Qingrun and Gao Tian quickly reached a consensus.
"Cultivators of the Guard Division, each team will move separately. Assistant Tower Master Gao, you will be in charge of coordinating and assigning tasks to each team!"
"Cultivators of the Spiritual Necessity Department will be in charge of maintaining the formation and protecting the mortals. Also, try your best to gather the mortals in the city!"
"Leave Black Wuchang to me!" Dantai Qingrun said coldly.
In order to deal with the possibility of the cultivators of the Hades Mountains hiding their strength, the number of people sent out had to be automatically increased by a level.
In other words, if the information showed that he was an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, then he had to be treated as a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he was a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, then he would be treated as a Golden Elixir Daoist.
In addition, even if they were screened, among these suspicious cultivators, there would definitely be many cultivators who had nothing to do with the Hades Mountains. This would inevitably lead to a waste of manpower.
Therefore, their current situation was that they were extremely understaffed.
Dantai Qingrun might as well take on Black Wuchang all by herself. Of course, other than the fact that they were understaffed, Dantai Qingrun was also extremely confident in her own strength.
Looking at Dantai Qingrun who had given the order and was about to move, Lu Qingshan called out to her, "Tower Master Dantai."
"Hmm?"
"Black Wuchang is proficient in Earth Yin Lightning. This lightning technique can contaminate flying swords. When you fight with him, you must be on guard against his Earth Yin Lightning!"
Dantai Qingrun glanced at Lu Qingshan and nodded slightly, "I understand."
With that, Dantai Qingrun's figure moved. Using the Sword Kinesis Technique, she turned into a streak of sword light and charged out of the light barrier of the Righteous and Negative Nine Palaces Formation in the blink of an eye, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Lu Qingshan could not help but click his tongue in his heart.
What a ruthless sword cultivator!
At this moment, flocks of demonic birds were circling in the sky above Zhenjiang City.
How would ordinary cultivators dare to fly in the air at this time?
Flying in the air so ostentatiously would instantly attract the attention of the flocks of demonic birds and become their target. Even a body cultivator might not be able to withstand it.
As for sword cultivators, they were fragile. Only the extremely confident and powerful Dantai Qingrun dared to fly in the air under such circumstances and not be afraid of being besieged by demonic beasts.
Lu Qingshan's Tiger Team was assigned the task of investigating three suspicious cultivators in the west corner of the city.
Su Shu, who had just witnessed Lu Qingshan's face-to-face interaction with the two Tower Masters, asked hesitantly, "Do you want to come with us?"
"Without me, wouldn't the Tiger Team lack a sword cultivator?" Lu Qingshan shrugged.
Su Shu's eyes lit up, but she did not say anything more.
Hearing this, Xu Hao nodded heavily. "Then let's get ready to move out immediately!"
"Understood, Captain!" the cultivators of the Tiger Team replied in unison.
Before the team set off, Lu Qingshan upgraded himself again.
Under such circumstances, every bit of combat power he could increase was worth it. He did not want to save any more experience points.
"Return to Ruin Sutra leveled up to Level 2, Spiritual Energy Value + 100!"
"Return to Ruin Sutra leveled up to Level 3, Spiritual Energy Value + 100!"
"Flying Sword Technique leveled up to Level 4!"
The 9,500 experience points that he had just accumulated were emptied in an instant.
However, the upgrade was huge. Although the Return to Ruin Sutra only leveled up by two levels, the upper limit of his Spiritual Energy Value had almost doubled.
Feeling the surging Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, Lu Qingshan felt more confident.
.....
They were not as daring as Dantai Qingrun, so they could only choose to walk to their target's location.
Passing through the light shield of the Main and Reverse Nine Palaces Formation, as far as the eye could see, other than the other Guardian Cultivators who were similarly moving, there was basically no one near the River Suppression Tower, nor were there any demonic beasts. There were only ruins everywhere.
Tantai Qingrun had already plowed through the nearby fields at the first moment. That was why the scene was like this.
Xiao Zhi patted his Spiritual Beast Pouch and released the Green-eyed Weasel. It was in charge of scouting ahead.
The six of them followed the route that the Green-eyed Weasel showed to be relatively safe.
As they got further and further away from the River Suppression Tower, the scene they saw became more and more horrifying.
Broken corpses and severed limbs of mortals were everywhere. The thick stench of blood lingered in the air. The ground was dyed red with blood. From time to time, ferocious Demonic Beasts would shuttle through the streets.
Crowing Demonic Birds circled in the sky.
No one dared to make too much noise. The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi, who was in charge of leading the way, stopped.
Xu Hao frowned tightly. "What's wrong?"
"Xiao Lv said that there are Demonic Beasts in front of us. We can't go around them."
"If we can't go around them, then we'll kill our way through!" Xu Hao said decisively.
The cultivators of the Guardian Team were never afraid of battle. They only chose to avoid the Demonic Beasts on the road because they were in a hurry and conserved their combat power.
Blocking their way was a group of seven or eight Blood-eyed Demon Wolves. They were second-grade Demonic Beasts.
"Let's end this quickly. Otherwise, the noise will attract other Demonic Beasts and we won't be able to escape." Xu Hao's voice was heavy.
