"The time is ripe; we can make our move!"
Hearing this, Qi Ping nodded, concealed his aura, and carefully followed Meng Yan's figure onto Tian Qing Mountain.
"Although Meng Yan seems to have the situation under control this time, I still need to be careful!" Qi Ping secretly warned himself in his heart.
The Qingyuan Sect could use ruins or Immortal Caves to set traps, and other Sects might also turn the tables, using the same trick to kill Qingyuan Sect Disciples.
After all, those Twin Demonesses could be called Black and White Shuangsha, so they must have extraordinary methods.
Without knowing the opponent's style, it was not impossible for them to counter-plan against Meng Yan.
One could only say that the Cultivation World was still too dangerous; a moment of carelessness could lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao, especially for hot-headed Loose Cultivators, who sometimes were truly as naive as fools.
You might think you are the praying mantis hunting, but how can you be sure there isn't an oriole behind you?
Fortunately, Tian Qing Mountain had no shortage of trees, which greatly amplified Qi Ping's perception as a Jungle Druid.
Coupled with his Natural Perception Talent, the likelihood of Qi Ping falling into a desperate situation was low.
The complex terrain was also an excellent environment for transforming into Bees and escaping.
After Qi Ping followed Meng Yan for about ten li, Meng Yan's footsteps suddenly slowed, becoming incredibly cautious.
He glanced at Qi Ping, and Qi Ping also nodded in understanding.
They were almost there!
Qi Ping couldn't help but become more nervous; this would be his first time fighting against a Genius from a Sect.
After the two walked extremely cautiously for a while, they heard the sound of a Formation being attacked from ahead.
However, when they looked over, they found only an ordinary rock wall in front of them.
"This must be the outer illusion Formation Meng Yan mentioned."
It was Qi Ping's first time witnessing such a level of illusion Formation, and he was quite shocked.
Because from both Divine Soul and naked eye, the area ahead showed no difference from the surrounding forest environment.
This made Qi Ping's expectations for Formations even stronger.
He wanted to learn this kind of Cultivation skill!
This was far more useful to Qi Ping than Alchemy; Alchemy could have Bees as a lower-tier substitute, but Formations could only be set up by Qi Ping himself.
However, the most crucial point was that Formations could protect himself and his territory! Illusion Formations, trapping Formations, killing Formations, defensive Formations—Qi Ping coveted them all.
"After acquiring a Divine Soul-type Talent and dealing with the Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, I can start learning Formations."
Druids are close to heaven and earth's nature, and Formations often borrow the power of heaven and earth. To some extent, among the four Cultivation arts, Formations should be the most suitable for Druids.
However, although his Divine Soul and Physical Body couldn't detect this illusion Formation, the Druid's intuition still allowed Qi Ping to sense that the Formation area ahead was somewhat different from the ordinary natural environment.
"Brother Qi, behind the Formation is that Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Immortal Cave. Those few people should be attacking the Formation, and there are no other abnormalities inside for now. If not, we can almost charge in."
Meng Yan glanced at the strange black stone in his hand and whispered to Qi Ping.
"Alright, Brother Meng, can you determine their position inside?"
"I can't do that," Meng Yan shook his head.
"Then, shall I send these in to scout? If there's no problem, we'll charge in directly!"
As Qi Ping spoke, he took out about ten ordinary Gold Marrow Bees from his Storage Pouch and displayed them before Meng Yan.
Meng Yan glanced at them, then nodded in approval.
"Alright, thank you, Brother Qi!"
After receiving confirmation, Qi Ping sent the ten Gold Marrow Bees to rush in according to the location and route Meng Yan indicated.
After a winding path, the Gold Marrow Bees successfully passed through the illusion.
The Gold Marrow Bees, having passed through the Formation, arrived inside a seemingly spacious mountain cave.
One male and two females appeared in the Gold Marrow Bees' vision at this moment. The three of them were currently working together to bombard a defensive Formation inside the cave.
Just as Meng Yan had said, two females and one male, all at the Qi Refining Late Stage.
Aside from that, there was nothing else in the spacious cave.
After confirming there were no other dangers, the Gold Marrow Bees informed Qi Ping of the situation behind the illusion Formation.
"Brother Meng, there are only two females and one male inside; no other dangers were found."
"Good! After we enter, I will deal with those Demonesses first. You and Crow go kill that Heavenly Fire Pavilion Disciple, then come help me!"
"Alright!"
With that, the two rushed into the illusion Formation.
As the Gold Marrow Bees rushed through the illusion Formation and entered the cave, the Demonesses and the Heavenly Fire Pavilion Disciple inside instantly discovered the intruding Bees.
The sudden appearance of the Bees immediately made them feel uneasy.
They would not be careless just because only a few Bees had intruded.
Moreover, how could a few Bees pass through the illusion Formation unscathed?
The three of them had spent a lot of effort to get in!
So, there must have been an unexpected development. They immediately swallowed Qi Replenishing Pills and prepared for battle.
At the same time, one of the Demonesses unleashed a massive Sword Qi, instantly slaying the ten Gold Marrow Bees, which were only First Order Intermediate.
"Damn it! We've been targeted!" one of the White-robed Demonesses said.
"This is a trap! Didn't you say you had already explored it once?" another Black-robed Demoness angrily looked at the Heavenly Fire Pavilion Disciple.
"I did come last time, and nothing unexpected happened, which is why I sought you two out!" the man from Heavenly Fire Pavilion, dressed in red, explained with a frown.
"Then it's probably aimed at us. It might even be Meng—"
However, before the White-robed Demoness could finish her sentence, Meng Yan's towering, burly figure passed through the illusion Formation and appeared before them.
This sudden change made the Demonesses' expressions instantly darken; they had been tricked!
Meng Yan was waiting for them to take the bait!
Last time, they had joined forces to catch Meng Yan off guard, which was how they managed to escape by chance.
They had an extremely deep understanding of Meng Yan's terrifying combat power.
After Meng Yan passed through the illusion Formation, he looked at the Demonesses, and without a word, an exquisite Magical Artifact great hammer instantly appeared in his hand. The terrifying True Meaning of Fire instantly swirled around it, and a powerful pressure directly bore down on the opponents at that moment.
Immediately after, Meng Yan wielded the great hammer with a flexibility no less than that of a Sword Cultivator. A terrifying and fierce hammer blow instantly caused the faces of the three opponents to change drastically!
And Qi Ping, who appeared closely behind, was also extremely shocked as he looked at Meng Yan, who exuded a terrifying aura.
Meng Yan's combat power was indeed extraordinary!
Seeing Meng Yan immediately start fighting without hesitation, Qi Ping also didn't hesitate. He directly released Crow, while simultaneously casting Flame Burst Body Technique and Flame Burst Art, smashing towards the Heavenly Fire Pavilion male like a cannonball.
