That afternoon.
The last wave of monks, riding the escaping light, left Mangshanfang City before the curfew.
Zhang Yao also used the flying sword to escape the light, and blended quietly among the many monks, all the way out of the range of the formation.
"No one stopped me. It seems safe."
After successfully leaving Fangshi and flying hundreds of miles away, Zhang Yao let out a sigh of relief.
The worst-case scenario is that the Li family sends monks to keep an eye on him at all times to prevent him from escaping, which would be a bit troublesome.
However, this probability is actually very small. After all, he doesn't even know the entire formation, so he cannot threaten the interests of the Li family at all.
"gone."
Zhang Yao recognized the direction and immediately drove the escape light all the way north.
He had already made preparations for his trip north to Dali, so starting a few months in advance would not have much impact.
the other side.
The two foundation-building monks of the Li family were discussing together:
"This idea should be feasible, but it is too difficult."
"I don't think it works. The formation in that cave is too strong. It almost injured us last time."
"That's true, but we don't have any spiritual weapons such as the Formation Disk or the Forbidden Cone, so we can only use this stupid method..."
While the two were discussing, they looked at the three jade slips and discussed possible strategies.
Li Yuanhui stood on the side with his hands tied respectfully, but he couldn't help but feel waves in his heart:
"It turns out that the two uncles found the cave of Zhenren Wanhe..."
Decades ago, Taoist Wanhe passed away, Wanhe Alliance fell apart, and the territory was divided between the Li family and the Tiandun Sect.
However, Taoist Wanhe was a casual cultivator with no heirs or direct disciples, and his legacy was missing.
The Tiandun Sect and the Mangshan Li Clan have been secretly searching for the remains of Taoist Wanhe throughout the Li Kingdom. It was not until a few days ago that the Mangshan Li Clan finally made a discovery.
Taoist Wanhe's cave is hidden in a deep mountain and is guarded by a powerful formation.
The two foundation-building monks from the Li family tried to break through once, but were almost injured in the formation. They retreated in embarrassment and began to look for ways to break the formation.
"Yuan Hui."
The two foundation-building monks discussed for a while. Li Changlin looked at Li Yuanhui, handed out two jade slips, and signaled:
"This is Taoist Zhuo and Master Zhang's idea of breaking the formation. You can take a look."
"Um."
Li Yuanhui nodded, took the two jade slips respectfully, and entered the mana to check them.
"this……"
After checking it for a while, he couldn't help but his face changed slightly, and he murmured:
"There is such a way. This person named Zhang really deserves his reputation!"
Zhang Yao's formation attainments have reached the second level. Even if he hides his true level, he is still ahead of Li Yuanhui and Zhuo Taoist.
Such a result made Li Yuanhui's mood very complicated.
"You can see it too, right?"
Li Changlin sighed with emotion and said:
"Originally, we didn't really attach much importance to the so-called Master Zhang. Inviting him was just incidental."
"Our real purpose is to test the level of Taoist Zhuo, but we didn't expect that Master Zhang is really amazingly talented."
"You have been cultivating the art of formation for more than eighty years, and you have been cultivated by your family, but you are still inferior to this person."
"Uncle Jiu is right."
Li Yuanhui's tone was a little low:
"Except for the guarding elders of the Tiandun Sect, Master Zhang's formation attainments are probably the best in the Li Kingdom!"
"We want to break through the cave formation of Taoist Wanhe, and this person is also a rare helper."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Another foundation-building ancestor of the Li family waved his hand and said:
"Taoist Wanhe back then was himself a master of formations."
"Taoist Na Zhuo has served under him for many years, and he may have received some true information. That's why we value him so much."
"In the current situation, it is possible that he is hiding his clumsiness on purpose..."
When Li Yuanhui heard this, he suddenly understood.
The guarding elders of the Tiandun Sect, with the cooperation of the foundation-building monks, can arrange second-level formations. Although they are not famous, their formation attainments are truly the first in the Li Kingdom.
But unless they had no choice, it would be impossible for the Mangshan Li family to join forces with the Tiandun Sect.
Therefore, they placed their hopes on Taoist Zhuo. No matter how high Master Zhang was, he was not a second-level formation mage and was not worthy of their serious treatment.
"Uncle Ninth, Uncle Seven."
Li Yuanhui hesitated and asked:
"Then what should we do next?"
Li Changlin pondered for a moment and then said:
"Uncle Qi and I are going to find another opportunity to secretly go to the deep mountain cave to try these formation-breaking strategies to detect more changes in the spiritual patterns."
"The more complete the recorded formation diagram, the greater the chance of breaking the formation. This is destined to be a long-term process and cannot be rushed."
Li Yuanhui couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.
The power of the second-level formation is too great. If a Qi Refining monk breaks into the formation, he will die. If he stays outside the formation, he will not be able to see the changes in the spiritual pattern formation.
Let the foundation-building monks gradually test and then crack it bit by bit. This is the safest way at present, and it can also eliminate the possibility of leaking secrets.
…
the next day.
Li, who was secretly preparing a plan to break the formation, suddenly received unexpected news.
"What?"
When Li Changlin heard the report, he was shocked and said:
"Master Zhang is missing?"
"right."
The red-robed monk lowered his head and said:
"I made some inquiries and confirmed that he left Fang City not long after he returned to the cave yesterday."
"No one noticed at first. It wasn't until his store was not open this morning that we realized something was wrong."
"After we went to the management office to check, we found that no one had asked him to set up formations recently. He suddenly left Fangshi, maybe he ran away secretly..."
Li Changlin was quite speechless when he heard this.
"This man is really..."
He didn't even know how to evaluate it.
Please break the formation, and you are not using knives or guns. As for the reaction, is it so violent?
Although he did consider the plan of killing people and silencing them after successfully breaking the formation, wasn't this just a matter of fact?
"He wouldn't have guessed something, would he?"
Li Changlin thought about it for a second, and a suspicion arose in his heart.
After all, there are only a handful of second-level formations in the Li Kingdom, so it is entirely possible to guess something through clues.
But it's too late to regret now. It's been a long time and I will definitely not be able to catch up if I try to catch up.
"That's all."
Li Changlin waved his hand and said:
"We were focused on that Taoist Zhuo, but we ignored him and let this cowardly man run away."
"But if you run away, just run away. He is not a second-level formation master. He is indispensable."
He said and gestured:
"You go down first."
"yes."
The red-robed monk breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully withdrew.
In Mangshanfang City:
Zhang Yao's sudden departure did cause some waves in the entire city, and even in the immortal world of Li Kingdom, but it soon subsided.
Time passed by slowly, and within a few years, few people were still talking about the former Master Zhang.
