Chapter 713 - 638: Stepping onto the Peak 47 (4,000 Words)_3
Now, using this array plate to trap people during a capture is just perfect, because with Shuangshuang here, as long as the array plate can confine the person for a few breaths, even an enemy at the Great Martial Artist level can be easily dealt with by Shuangshuang.
Murong Huating approached from behind with the array plate. Before those people noticed, he directly threw down a trapping array plate. The arrays inside the plate instantly detached from the plate and spread freely in mid-air.
On the illusory array where light and shadow intertwined, the glowing array texts floated quickly in the air, spinning and combining at high speed. According to their own patterns, they fell onto the array plate, and a trapping formation was completed in an instant!
When the trapping formation was completed, those excavating spiritual medicine within the formation were busy digging herbs. Suddenly, a white fog rose in front of them, and then they couldn’t see anything.
Seeing this situation, it was obvious something was off—definitely someone was ambushing them from behind. The people digging herbs immediately became alert, grabbing their protective magic artifacts, each fully on guard against a potential attack.
However, their awareness was clearly a bit too late. Many of them had just grabbed their protective magic artifacts when they felt a pain in their necks. A surge of spiritual energy penetrated their bodies through their skin, and then their vision blackened, causing them to collapse instantly!
The dense fog dispersed, and the radiant array spun back into the array plate, collected back into Murong Huating’s slender fingers, while the others swarmed in, binding all the downed individuals securely.
Next, of course, they had to wait for Murong Huating to confirm the identities one by one. It must be said that this time they were truly lucky, as none of these people turned out to be disguised impostors. After confirming identities and giving a brief explanation, they showed evidence to those pretending to be disciples of Li Tian Sect and Wuji Sect.
Once these people were convinced, Shuangshuang’s team expanded again, gaining reliable new partners, which greatly lifted everyone’s spirits. A newly joined male disciple of Wuji Sect even provided some useful information.
Earlier, when they passed by a cave, they found many well-prepared rooms inside, with many Li Tian Sect and Wuji Sect disciples residing there, now gathering no less than two hundred people.
Shuangshuang stroked her chin. That number of people was quite substantial, and trying to deal with all of them together seemed a bit troublesome.
At this moment, another newly joined male disciple of Li Tian Sect mentioned that he enjoyed practicing alchemy and was capable of making high-level sedatives, the kind that could knock out Great Martial Artists. He offered to help brew sedatives to incapacitate everyone, capturing them all at once, saving time and effort!
Shuangshuang, Murong Huating, Qian Mulingzhan, and a few others exchanged glances, all thinking why they hadn’t considered this method before. They had only thought of using force, but scattering sedatives would be much easier.
The method of using sedatives was simple too. Everyone just needed to openly go to the cave to find a place to stay. Wuji Sect and Li Tian Sect disciples getting together was quite normal and wouldn’t attract the attention of those lurking in the shadows.
Those disguised as Wuji Sect and Li Tian Sect disciples wouldn’t attack so quickly either. Their goal wasn’t to kill off all the disciples of Li Tian Sect and Wuji Sect, but to spark hatred between the two sects through such killings.
The Secret Realm would be sealed for three years, offering them plenty of time to sow discord. Right now, having just entered the Secret Realm, even though the other side had started acting, they were not in a hurry. So, Shuangshuang’s group’s appearance to live in the cave, though conspicuous, was not overly so.
There were many rooms in the cave, enough for everyone to reside because there were no dangerous creatures like magic beasts inside this Secret Realm—only spiritual medicine. The few dangerous spots were just training grounds, manageable with some caution, making the Secret Realm relatively safe overall.
Given there wasn’t much danger, there were fewer people on night watch, allowing Shuangshuang and Murong Huating to easily capture them. Later, the disciple who made the sedatives quickly scattered the completed sedatives around the cave, and everyone immediately left, running far away.
According to the disciple who made the sedatives, the effect was extremely potent and pervasive. Afraid of being knocked out by the sedatives, everyone ran quite a distance away. After estimating the time had passed, they all rushed back.
Due to the strong effect of the sedatives, which was said to induce sleep for a day and a night, there was plenty of time to slowly find the impostors among them.
Fortunately, among so many disciples, with Murong Huating’s discernment, only four were found to be impostors, while the rest were genuine, which was the best news possible.
