Chapter 159
Fortunately, the bees had followed Qi Ping’s instructions and hidden far away, so they were not discovered by those cultivators. After the cultivators searched fruitlessly and waited for many days, the bees returned the message through an extremely complex route, passing through many deep underground tunnels and relaying the information via different bees.
The reason for such caution was, of course, Qi Ping’s order.
This was to prevent the bees from being monitored or marked with special tracking seals.
Deep, long, narrow tunnels were effective in evading tracking and spiritual sense detection. Relaying messages through multiple groups of bees ensured that the initial bees carrying the message could not be unknowingly marked or tracked by substances or seals.
After completing their mission, these bees took their honey provisions and left Qing Shi County for good.
It was precisely due to this caution that Qi Ping avoided two potential crises.
The first was the risk of the spoils of war being planted with tracking devices. If Qi Ping had directly brought those items back to his territory, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The second was avoiding the risk of the bees being tracked.
Because when that group of cultivators found the storage bag Qi Ping had hidden but didn’t find any enemies, they immediately released many tracking substances into the surrounding area.
