Chapter 221
Aside from the fire-attribute Fire Crow Formation, the metal-attribute formations were also bolstered by [Heaven and Earth’s Favor].
Qi Ping had been holed up here for over a month now, and in a sense, this place had become his temporary lair. Naturally, he’d made sure the formations were as strong as he could get them.
“Good thing I came prepared. Otherwise, this really could’ve turned into a risky mess!”
His clone gazed at the three late-stage Foundation Building cultivators, their auras thick and oppressive, and couldn’t help but feel a wave of relief. Without the formations backing him up, even if he managed to escape, he’d have lost a hefty chunk of his loot.
“And thank goodness I waited over two years and collected the spoils in batches…”
If he hadn’t been so cautious, Qi Ping couldn’t even begin to imagine how many enemies he would’ve attracted. At the very least, he was certain it would’ve been way more than he could handle right now. And if he’d been careless enough to expose his hideout in the process? That would’ve been an absolute disaster.
All he could say was that the cultivation world was crawling with scheming old foxes. Even among Foundation Building cultivators, most of them had been alive for over a century. Sure, many were held back by a lack of resources or talent, and their combat strength might not be all that impressive—but you could never underestimate just how treacherous they could be.
Take these three late-stage Foundation Building cultivators, for example. They’d bided their time for over two years, and they’d even joined forces. Under normal circumstances, a trio like this—working together—wouldn’t have to fear anything short of a Golden Core cultivator.
The three cultivators who’d been tracking the Earth Armor Bees finally laid eyes on Qi Ping’s treant clone, who appeared to be at the early Foundation Building stage, along with the swarm of bees and a storage pouch hovering nearby. Smug grins spread across their faces—the kind that screamed “gotcha.”
