The two women were startled upon hearing this."Are they Fang Zhenxiong’s people?"
Su Xiaowan whispered.
"They should be the elite disciples he sent."
A trace of coldness flashed in Luo Qingchen’s eyes.
"It seems he still doesn’t trust us and wants to see what tricks we’re up to."
Not only that, Luo Qingchen noticed that several warning arrays around the sect’s perimeter seemed to have been activated as well.
Once these arrays are triggered, they will immediately alert the sect’s higher-ups.
Fang Zhenxiong intends to catch them all in one go.
"We can’t let them get too close."
Luo Qingchen said in a deep voice.
"We must find a way to shake them off, otherwise once we enter Heavenly Desperate Cliff, we will be besieged from both sides."
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan looked at Luo Qingchen, waiting for his instructions.
Luo Qingchen scanned the surrounding terrain, quickly thinking of a strategy.
He noticed a dense bamboo forest not far ahead, with a complex terrain perfect for setting up a decoy array.
"Xiaowan, prepare some Illusion Talismans and Maze Talismans."
Luo Qingchen said to Su Xiaowan.
"Wan’er, use your affinity with plants to create some fake aura traces in the bamboo forest."
"We need to set up a decoy array there to lead them in the wrong direction."
Su Xiaowan and Lin Wan’er immediately understood Luo Qingchen’s intention and nodded in agreement.
The three of them quickened their pace, stealthily moving towards the bamboo forest.
Upon entering the bamboo forest, Su Xiaowan immediately began setting up talismans.
She cleverly hid Illusion Talismans among the bamboo leaves, creating some blurry human figures.
She also scattered Maze Talismans along the forest paths, disrupting the pursuer’s sense of direction.
Lin Wan’er then channeled the Wood Spirit Power within her, resonating with the surrounding bamboo.
She carefully left faint traces of the three’s aura on some bamboo, while on another path, she created stronger aura remnants, as if they had fled in that direction.
Luo Qingchen kept watch on the side while quietly using his Chaotic Power to conceal the true route of the three of them.
The Chaotic Power, with its ability to block all aura detection, was their best assurance of shaking off pursuers.
After a while, a simple decoy array was set up.
"Let’s go, take another hidden path into Heavenly Desperate Cliff."
Luo Qingchen said in a low voice.
The three no longer lingered, and their figures disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest like phantoms.
Not long after, the team tracking Luo Qingchen and the others arrived outside the bamboo forest.
Leading them was a cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Core, with a stern expression and sharp eyes.
He was one of Fang Zhenxiong’s trusted subordinates, ordered to secretly observe Luo Qingchen’s movements.
"They’ve entered the bamboo forest."
One disciple whispered.
"This bamboo forest is complex and easy to get lost in."
The leading late-stage Golden Core cultivator snorted coldly.
"Cheap tricks, do they think they can fool me?"
He waved his hand, cautiously leading the group into the bamboo forest.
However, they quickly realized something was wrong.
The bamboo forest was shrouded in a faint mist, with very low visibility.
Moreover, they frequently saw blurred human figures swaying ahead, but upon chasing, they found nothing.
Additionally, they sensed that the aura in the forest was chaotic, sometimes clear, sometimes vague, making it impossible to accurately determine the escape direction of Luo Qingchen and the other two.
"Damn! It’s an illusion array!"
The leading late-stage Golden Core cultivator finally realized, his face turning livid.
He hadn’t expected Luo Qingchen to have such means.
"Break this illusion array for me!"
He roared, while urging the Golden Core Power within him, attempting to forcibly break the array.
However, the illusion array set up by Su Xiaowan, though simple, was cleverly integrated with the bamboo forest terrain, making it difficult to break in a short time.
While they were trapped in the illusion array, Luo Qingchen and his companions silently arrived at a hidden entrance at the back of Heavenly Desperate Cliff.
It was a narrow crevice, only allowing one person to pass through.
The crevice was surrounded by all sorts of bizarre vines and moss, exuding a damp and rotten smell.
Without the guidance of the sect’s defense map, it would have been impossible to find this entrance.
"This is it."
Luo Qingchen said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
The crevice was pitch black, bottomless, as if leading to the entrance of the Nine Netherworld Hell.
A bone-chilling cold wind blew from within, sending shivers down one’s spine.
"Inside... such strong Evil Qi."
Su Xiaowan couldn’t help shivering, a tinge of fear on her small face.
Lin Wan’er furrowed her delicate brows tightly; she could feel the crevice was filled with various negative energies, with strong erosive effects on a cultivator’s spiritual power.
Luo Qingchen’s expression also grew grave.
The scene at the entrance of Heavenly Desperate Cliff was more eerie than he had imagined.
The concentration of Evil Qi here was so thick it was almost tangible.
An ordinary cultivator who entered recklessly might soon have their mind eroded by the Evil Qi and become possessed.
"It seems that the dangers of Heavenly Desperate Cliff far exceed our imagination."
Luo Qingchen said solemnly.
"Once we go in, we must be extremely cautious and retreat immediately if anything feels off."
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan nodded to show their understanding.
Luo Qingchen took a deep breath and stepped into the crevice first.
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan followed closely behind.
The passage within the crevice was narrow and winding, the light dim, with not a hand to be seen.
The path underfoot was slippery stone, littered with various sharp rocks.
The air was filled with a nauseating metallic smell and a thick Evil Qi.
