Chapter 515: The Arrival of the Bai Family’s Soul Formation Stage
Upon hearing Luo Yuebai’s words, the expressions of the crowd once again showed signs of confusion.
Apart from the Dan Hall, most of the other halls were unaware of the existence of the strange lands.
Those who remained in place had already prepared for a desperate battle, even to the point of sacrificing their lives.
When Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai saw the confused reactions of the crowd, they were not surprised.
They then said, “All hall masters, lead your subordinates and follow us!
Since the top forces of Qingzhou had already arrived around Linjiang City, some things needed to be expedited. “
As soon as the words came out of their mouths, Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen soared into the air and headed toward Clear Wind Mountain.
Though the crowd in the square remained confused, they dared not disobey Luo Yuebai’s orders.
Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above, as well as those at the Qi Refining stage who could not fly, all set off in a grand procession toward Clear Wind Mountain.
Such a large group flying together was bound to attract attention.The various forces already stationed around Linjiang City noticed their movement almost immediately.
“This is bad, the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect is trying to escape!”
“The Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect is heading towards Clear Wind Mountain. Could it be because of the rumored spirit vein that appeared on Clear Wind Mountain?
It must be.
No matter what, since we’ve already arrived today, we can’t let them escape.”
“Hehe, if they realize that they need to escape at this late hour, it might be too late.”
“……”
The top forces around Linjiang City scoffed at this.
Many Nascent Soul and Soul Formation level cultivators among them also began to head toward Clear Wind Mountain.
On the main street of Linjiang City, on the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Through the window, Feng Qingya and Feng Xuan could see countless rays of light coming from the Evil Moon Sect.
“What is the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect doing?
Could it be that they are afraid of the top forces that have arrived today and are trying to escape?
But how can they go far with their families in tow?”
Feng Xuan frowned slightly.
The actions of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect puzzled him.
At this moment, Feng Qingya smiled and said, “Ancestor, do you think that Su Jingzhen, or rather Blood Hand Shura Shen, would be the type to flee at such a critical moment?
If they wanted to escape, why didn’t they do so a few days ago?”
Feng Qingya’s words left Feng Xuan speechless for a moment.
He then asked confusedly, “Could it be that the Evil Moon Sect has other backup plan at this time?
I can’t imagine what kind of plan would require such a massive migration of the entire sect. What kind of method would require so many people?”
As Feng Xuan expressed his doubts, Feng Qingya’s expression became slightly more serious: “According to what Qingya knows, the Evil Moon Sect seems to have discovered a strange place on Clear Wind Mountain.
Qingya also secretly sent people to investigate several times, but they found nothing.
So if Qingya’s hunch is correct, they might be trying to send all the demonic cultivators who cannot participate in the upcoming battle to that strange place.
To avoid being tied down.”
Upon hearing Feng Qingya’s words, Feng Xuan’s expression suddenly became serious: “Is it possible that the strange place you mentioned is the same as the spirit vein on Clear Wind Mountain that has been rumored for the past two days?
The news has spread quite convincingly. If there really is a spirit vein that has reached the level of liquidating spiritual energy, it’s possible that ordinary people couldn’t detect it.”
After muttering to himself, Feng Xuan looked at Feng Qingya again: “Girl, come with me to Clear Wind Mountain.
Today, I will personally go and investigate.”
At this moment, Feng Xuan couldn’t help but be intrigued by the strange place Feng Qingya mentioned.
When he first heard about the spirit vein on Clear Wind Mountain, he was skeptical.
He didn’t believe that such a powerful spirit vein existed in Qingzhou without being discovered.
After all, Yunmeng City was also a place of good fortune.
And the Feng family’s position in Yunmeng City was a core position.
Their own spiritual vein had not yet reached the level of liquefying spiritual energy.
This Linjiang City, which had always been considered a remote and uncivilized place in Qingzhou, how could it have a spiritual vein with liquefied spiritual energy?
But he trusted that Feng Qingya would not deceive him.
Now, he was really curious and wanted to check it out for himself.
…
On the other side, Su Jingzhen smiled at Luo Yuebai: “Yuebai, what do you think the forces already stationed around Linjiang City will think about our grand departure?”
Luo Yuebai’s lips curled into a smile: “What can they think?
They’ll definitely come to block us. Most people are probably a bit panicked by now.”
They knew that with the top forces stationed around, there must be their informants in Linjiang City.
Perhaps many people were already preparing to intercept them.
But the canyon was already in sight.
Although this event happened faster than they expected, the necessary preparations had already been made.
It was still within their planned rhythm.
Nearly two thousand demonic cultivators from the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect entered the canyon in a grand procession and disappeared without a trace.
The Soul Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators, with their extremely fast flying speed, arrived at the location of the canyon within a dozen breaths after Su Jingzhen and his group entered.
“Where did they go?
Such a large group of about a thousand people just vanished?
I can’t even sense their presence.”
“This canyon seems to be bottomless, a good place to hide.
However, the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect has fierce individuals like Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng.
If we go in alone, it might be very dangerous.
Let’s wait a little longer.”
At the edge of the ravine, about ten people had already gathered.
They were only two top-level forces.
They were led by two Soul Formation level cultivators.
However, they did not dare to enter the canyon without hesitation.
After all, Shen Yifeng’s exploits at Dantai Ruins were still fresh in their minds.
Ordinary Soul Formation level cultivators were as fragile as chickens and dogs before Shen Yifeng.
While the forces at the edge of the ravine hesitated, afraid to go any further,
Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai stood behind the barrier of the strange land.
Their gazes seemed to pierce through the thick fog, as if they could see the situation above the canyon.
Su Jingzhen chuckled, “Yuebai, what do you think?
I told you, those guys will only chase us this far and won’t dare to come down.
Even if Master doesn’t come this time.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen seemed a bit smug.
Without waiting for a response, he looked at Luo Yuebai again and said, “All right, entering the strange land means that we are completely safe.
I’ve activated the strongest defenses here, even Divine Intent Realm experts probably won’t be able to detect it.
Now I have to go back; it’s not very humane to leave Master there alone.
You all stay here and focus on your cultivation.
I’ll come back to pick you up soon.”
As he spoke to Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen’s tone was quite serious.
Luo Yuebai remained silent for a moment, then her eyes revealed a hint of anticipation: “Let me also…
Forget it, go ahead and be careful.
Nothing is more important than staying alive if things get too difficult.”
As the sect master of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, Luo Yuebai naturally wanted to fight alongside Su Jingzhen.
However, considering her own strength, she finally decided to stay behind.
A Golden Core stage cultivator appearing on the battlefield would inevitably become an object of protection for Su Jingzhen or Shen Yifeng.
In other words, a burden, and she didn’t want to be that.
Su Jingzhen gave her a gentle smile, pulled her into his embrace, and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
“Wait for my return.”
As soon as he finished speaking, familiar golden characters appeared in front of his eyes.

At this critical moment, the two of them did not indulge in too much tenderness.
Watching Luo Yuebai return to the strange land, Su Jingzhen glanced at the canyon above.
Then he disappeared into the thick mist.
“Suzhen, with my current strength, it might be a bit difficult to avoid the detection of those Soul Formation level cultivators.
Help me out.”
He transmitted his thoughts directly to Bai Suzhen, who was around his waist.
As usual, Bai Suzhen did not react,
However, a gentle force acted on Su Jingzhen, masking all of his auras.
Su Jingzhen also activated his Phantom Robe.
The level of the Phantom Robe was somewhat lacking for his current abilities, but as his strength grew, the robe slowly improved as well.
Although it couldn’t completely hide his form, it could at least provide some cover.
Without a closer look, it was impossible to detect his presence.
Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen moved along the canyon towards the outer perimeter.
Soon, he quietly climbed out of the canyon, relying on his familiarity with the terrain.
The cultivators from the top-tier forces gathered on both sides of the canyon remained unaware of Su Jingzhen’s presence.
“These are all familiar faces,” Su Jingzhen muttered as he hid in a dense tree.
From a distance, he could see the numerous Nascent Soul and Soul Formation level cultivators gathered at the edge of the canyon.
He had seen most of these people at Dantai Ruins.
“Holy City’s Peerless Sect, Holy City’s Yi Family, Heavenly Blade Sect…
They are all the top forces of Qingzhou. Tomorrow, the top forces from Huangzhou and Cangzhou will probably intervene as well.”
Su Jingzhen muttered again. Just as he was about to retreat, two rays of light quickly approached.
As their figures appeared on the cliff, Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows furrowed once again.
Both of them were emitting Soul Formation level auras.
One of them was quite familiar to him.
It was Bai Ying, who had previously led Bai Susu and the other members of the Bai family to discover the strange land.
The other was a middle-aged man dressed in white, who looked refined and handsome.
The Bai family had arrived, and they had brought two Soul Formation level cultivators with them.
Su Jingzhen was puzzled as to what the Bai family was up to.
According to Bai Susu, the members of the Bai Family were allied with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
But that was just the opinion of Bai Susu, a younger member.
If the Bai family really coveted the Linjiang Branch of the Evil Moon Sect, knowing about the strange land might cause some trouble.
It was detrimental to Su Jingzhen’s plans.
“Bai Family, Bai Family, I hope you make the right decision…”
