Chapter 222 Elder He's Retreat

"Master..." Qin Qingshan, who had been patrolling the sect, saw Ding Huan coming back and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Liu Yinzhu also rushed over as soon as possible.

"Master." Mo Huanping called out excitedly.

Liu Yinzhu was very surprised to see that Ding Huan not only brought Guan Xi back, but also brought his own disciples back.

Ding Huan introduced Sang Yuhe and then said:

"Sister Yinzhu, take me to see where Elder He is in seclusion."

After hearing Ding Huan's words, Liu Yinzhu was stunned for a moment, and after several breaths, she asked:

"Ding Huan, you are going to..."

Ding Huan nodded. He simply didn't have the time.

"But, but..."

Even though Liu Yinzhu had always known Ding Huan's plan, she still hesitated when she heard that Ding Huan was going to move Elder He.

I wasn’t worried about Elder He, but about Ding Huan.

Ding Huan said to Qin Qingshan:

"Deacon Qingshan, take Guan Xi and Mo Huanping to rest first. Elders Liu and Sang and I will discuss some things here."

"Yes." Qin Qingshan responded and quickly left with Guan Xi and Mo Huanping.

“Ding Huan, Elder He’s soul is perfect, and he’s even half a step into the realm of virtual god. If you go to deal with him, this, this…”

Liu Yinzhu didn't know what to say.

She knew very well deep down in her heart that if Ding Huan couldn't kill Elder He, there was no point in him staying in this place.

Sang Yuhe then understood that the prerequisite for establishing a sect in Zixia Valley as mentioned by Ding Huan was to kill a powerful person with a perfect Yuanhun.

She also looked at Ding Huan speechlessly. What had happened to her? She was tricked by Ding Huan into coming to Zixia Valley.

Ding Huan did not explain, he knew that Liu Yinzhu would definitely understand the reason.

"Let me take you there. How can I help you?" Liu Yinzhu finally sighed.

Ding Huan had saved her life more than once. At this moment, she couldn't even think of leaving.

Sang Yuhe was also silent. Her life was also saved by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan shook his head:

"Your strength can't help me, just take me to the mountain where Elder He is in seclusion."

Liu Yinzhu brought Ding Huan to Zixi Peak, which is considered the most remote peak in the entire Zixia Valley.

As soon as Ding Huan arrived here, he knew that the vitality of heaven and earth here was no weaker than that of Chaoxia Peak.

"This is where Elder He is in seclusion." Liu Yinzhu brought Ding Huan to the outskirts of Zixi Peak and said with some concern.

"Sister Yinzhu, go back first. If anything happens to me, just say you were helpless and couldn't control me at all."

Ding Huan was not sure if he could deal with Elder He.

He had come into contact with Yuanhun Realm cultivators, but what was Hao Wudao's level? Compared with Elder Hehe, there was a huge gap.

Moreover, Hao Wudao only had one tenth of his life left at that time, and his strength was not even as good as that of an ordinary real elixir.

It was precisely because he was not sure that he became a fool and bought the hell vine seeds.

As soon as Liu Yinzhu left, Ding Huan carefully restrained his breath and began to check the terrain.

Because Zixi Peak is relatively remote, no disciples or elders live in the surrounding mountains.

Two of the sides are sharp cliffs, and at the foot of one side is a stream that seems to never dry up.

The other side is a slope going up the mountain, which is the most normal one.

Ding Huan estimated that this stream should be the origin of the name of Zixi Peak.

The terrain of this place is very simple to arrange for a killing array.

Ding Huan did not set up a killing array immediately, but concealed his breath and carefully observed the environment from the outside.

He only has one chance and he cannot afford to lose it. If he fails, he will be dead.

Ding Huan spent three full days wandering around the outskirts of Zixi Peak.

During this period, in order to avoid making too much noise, he carefully hid his body and then used the Extreme Shadow Escape Technique.

Elder He must have believed in the safety of his Zixi Peak and had enough confidence in the formation he had set up. In addition, as he was about to reach the Void God Realm, he never released his divine consciousness.

Yes, his cave residence is in Zixia Valley, and he is the elder with the highest cultivation and status in Zixia Valley.

Who is so bold as to come here and cause trouble?

Elder He’s formation was indeed quite good. On the sides of the two cliffs, he had arranged a fourth-level defense formation, and also a teleportation formation.

The level of the teleportation array is a little low, only level three.

It can be seen that this should be Elder He's reserve means. Once any problem occurs, he will immediately leave through the teleportation here. Although the formations arranged by Elder He are all fourth-level formations and third-level formations, Ding Huan believes that Elder He's formation level is not lower than his.

At least he couldn't set up a teleportation array.

On the fourth day, Ding Huan began to set up various magic arrays.

He first set up a killing array around Zixi Peak and added locking flags.

As long as his killing array is activated, it will completely lock the teleportation array set up by Elder He.

One killing array was not very safe, so Ding Huan simply arranged five killing arrays. Anyway, he had plenty of array flags, and a few more arrays would only waste some materials and time.

After the killing array is set up, the illusion array and poison array will be set up.

All the poisons used in this poison formation were brought out from Ji Xinting in Cangjian Mountain and are now used on Elder He.

Elder He is indeed at the Perfect Soul stage, but in terms of cultivation, he is still far inferior to Ji Xinting, and may even be several levels behind him.
The last step was for Ding Huan to hide the Dayu Pearl at the foot of the Spirit Gathering Array. As long as Elder He used the Spirit Gathering Array to practice, the poisonous fog would be swept away by Elder He.

This way, it will not appear abrupt and can still make the most of the poison mist.

As long as Elder He appears, he will completely activate the poisonous mist in the Dayu Pearl.

As for whether the poisonous fog would spread out, Ding Huan didn't care at all. Anyway, he had set up a binding array around the periphery of Zixi Peak.

After finishing all these, it was already the eleventh day that Ding Huan stayed outside Zixi Peak.

According to Ding Huan's plan, now he just needs to lurk outside Zixi Peak and wait for Elder He to come out.

With Elder He's cultivation level, it shouldn't take long for him to discover that he has been poisoned by absorbing spiritual energy.

Ding Huan did not stop. He calculated the matter, but the result was vague and he always felt it was a bit strange.

If it turns out that his future is blank, Ding Huan will leave immediately. This is no joke, it concerns his life.

Ding Huan carefully checked the cliffs on both sides, and there seemed to be nothing special. They were completely covered by his trapping formation.

Could it be that creek?
But this stream is crystal clear, and one can see the bottom clearly by just sweeping one's mind over it. What could be the problem?
Knowing that there was little chance that something was wrong with the stream, Ding Huan still came to the stream and observed it carefully again with his divine sense.

A day later, Ding Huan's spiritual sense did not observe anything, but his eyes saw something different.

At the edge of the stream, there were some stones that seemed to be placed differently. When I scanned them with my divine sense, I saw nothing wrong, but when I looked closely with my naked eyes, I could vaguely see some fuzzy traces of lines.

Ding Huan dared not be careless about this situation.

His eyes are completely different from those of ordinary cultivators. His eyes have been integrated with the Eye of the Wilderness.

It's not quite there yet, but I can already see things that others can't see. In the Great Valley, that's a big deal.

Ding Huan's mind fell on the suspicious position observed by his eyes again, and he soon understood what was going on.

This is actually a teleportation array, and a natural one at that.

There are very few natural teleportation arrays. This one is not only natural, but also has extremely clear patterns and a sense of layering, making it most suitable for beginners to study.

Even though he was slow, Ding Huan understood why Elder He could even set up a teleportation array.

This guy learned it here. No wonder Elder He was reluctant to leave Zixi Peak. Maybe this guy was worried that someone else would learn how to use the teleportation array.

Whether it is the world of Taoism or the world of ascension, every teleportation array is extremely difficult to obtain.

They are all the top formation masters in the Ascension Realm, and they used a bunch of top-quality materials to set it up.

Now that Ding Huan has discovered a natural teleportation array, how could he let it go?

However, before comprehending this teleportation array, Ding Huan set up a bunch of trapping arrays and forbidden arrays around the teleportation array to block the teleportation array.

That’s not all. Ding Huan implanted the fifth-level Hell Vine that he bought at a high price into the center of this natural teleportation array.

After discovering this teleportation array, Ding Huan was almost 100% sure.

Elder He’s real retreat was not the bunch of teleportation arrays arranged on the edge of the cliff, but the most inconspicuous teleportation array in the stream in front of him.

It has to be said that this natural teleportation array is the best teaching material for learning how to arrange the teleportation array. It only took Ding Huan half a month to comprehend the arrangement method of the teleportation array through the teleportation array patterns.

After learning the teleportation array's array patterns and flag arrangements, Ding Huan quickly left the teleportation array and hid in the hidden array he had set up.

Once Elder He escapes and finds him at the edge of the teleportation array, he will definitely become suspicious of the teleportation array.

Lurking in the outskirts of Zixi Peak again, Ding Huan concentrated on studying the teleportation array.

Ding Huan was originally a master of formations at the peak of level 5, and he also had a lot of theoretical knowledge of formations. All he lacked was a key to open it.

Under the guidance of this natural teleportation array pattern, it only took him one month to improve his teleportation array setting skills to level four.

Just when Ding Huan was planning to continue upgrading the layout of his teleportation array to level five, the spiritual energy of Zixi Peak suddenly began to roll.

Ding Huan immediately stopped deducing the teleportation array and grabbed the farewell gun.

Elder He began to practice. Since he had started practicing, the next step was to discover that the spiritual energy he swept over contained poisonous fog.

Time passed slowly, and what surprised Ding Huan was that the scene of Elder He rolling up the spiritual energy was getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, a whirlpool even formed at the top of Zixi Peak.

Ding Huan was stunned. Could it be that this guy had already obtained the three-color purple Lin flower and refined the Xu Luo Dan? Was he preparing to advance to the Xu God level?
