Chapter 749: Tuoba (II)
Li Xizhi rode the Heavenly Glow to the front of the formation, the captured men still bound behind him. Using a command token to activate the formation, he saw an unbelievably small marketplace nestled in the valley. A few figures rode the wind to welcome him.
This marketplace consisted of no more than a few courtyards, it was extremely crude in appearance. The formation looked newly set, likely placed by Azure Pond Sect.
As the group reached him, they all bowed deeply. Li Xizhi examined them. One was at the mid-stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm, three were early-stage, and the rest were only at the Embryonic Breathing Realm.
How pitiful.
He felt somewhat troubled as these cultivators of Baixiang Valley were so overjoyed they hadn’t slept for days, each of them eagerly addressing him as Peak Master.
The mid-stage Qi Cultivation Realm old man seemed to be the overseer of Baixiang Valley. He was moved and emotional, saying, “Peak Master, sir... I’ve long heard that Jiangnan is a flourishing land of immortal cultivation. To come such a long way to aid us... I, Bai, am deeply grateful... Please accept my bow...”
Li Xizhi was momentarily stunned. After asking a few questions, he realized all of them were surnamed Bai, they were the local cultivators of Xu State. Apart from establishing a formation in Baixiang Valley, no other Azure Pond cultivators had arrived yet.
He chuckled and shook his head, letting out a breath of relief and thought, Of course... Baixiang Valley is a crucial defensive point. They wouldn’t leave just a few Qi Cultivation Realm disciples for me... I’ve just grown too wary after being schemed against by the Chi Family...
With the rest yet to arrive, Li Xizhi wasn’t in a rush to interrogate the devil cultivators. He had them clear out some rooms and waited quietly.
