“Me？”
Elder Zhang was a little puzzled.
“Yes, it’s you.”
Xu Taiping nodded, and then, under Elder Zhang’s confused gaze, took out a sword from the Xuanhuang Ring, and while sketching on the ground, he explained to Elder Zhang:
“Although we can hide for the time of a cup of tea, the map in the hands of Jiuyuan can at least know our general position within the time of a stick of incense. Even if we run faster, it will be useless.”
“So there is only one way in front of us, and that is to hide or conceal.”
“That map can only know our general position, so as long as we find a way to hide our breath and figure, it is possible to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Jiuyuan.”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then looked at Elder Zhang with a smile and said：
“Youdaoplaceholder0 Elder Zhang, you must be proficient in many formations for avoiding or hiding figures, right?”
When Elder Zhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he nodded repeatedly and said：
“Young master, your words really woke me up like a dream. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I may not be able to run far, but it is enough for me to set up a simple hiding formation, which is enough for us to hold on for a stick of incense！”
Nan Xing on the side also almost understood at this time, and the originally worried look on her face suddenly brightened up.
“Old Zhang, originally I thought that having a hiding formation to hide was indeed enough. But after just hearing about Miss Nan Xing’s situation, I suddenly had another idea.”
Xu Taiping suddenly looked at the two with a serious face again.
“Young master, please speak.”
Old Zhang and Nan Xing said in unison.
“Old Zhang, can you set up an earth-element escape formation？”
Xu Taiping suddenly asked Old Zhang.
“Sizzle… Rust Lion Young Master, you actually heard of this formation？”
Old Zhang looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.
Xu Taiping himself definitely didn’t know. This was a formation that Fairy Lingyue had mentioned when discussing countermeasures with him in the past two months. She said that any great array master could set it up.
And the most unique feature of this formation was that it could allow the people in the formation to travel underground at an extremely fast speed, so that they could perfectly avoid the encirclement and suppression of the demonic cultivators.
“To tell you the truth, young master, this old man can really set up this formation.”
Elder Zhang stroked his beard and smiled with a hint of pride.
“That’s really great.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was immediately overjoyed.
When discussing this method with Fairy Lingyue before, what he was most worried about was that Elder Zhang couldn’t set up this formation.
“However, although I can set up this formation, after the formation is activated, someone must hold the talisman at the other end to guide it, otherwise it is very likely to lose its position underground, and may even not be able to come out.”
Elder Zhang suddenly frowned and said.
Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately looked at Gongshu Nanxing, and then said：
“There’s no accident, the people from Jiuyuan will definitely also think that Miss Nanxing is dead. In order to save the spiritual power of that soul tool, they will definitely not write Miss Nanxing’s name on it, which means that they can’t track Miss Nanxing’s whereabouts.”
“At that time, Miss Nanxing will be able to activate the talisman and guide us over.”
What really made Xu Taiping determined to use this method to avoid the magic cultivators from Jiuyuan was actually what Miss Nanxing had just said.
Otherwise, it would be really too difficult to use this method.
Hearing this, Elder Zhang suddenly slapped his thigh and said：
“Thismethodis feasible!” ”
Gongshu Nanxing on the side also nodded repeatedly and said：
“In this way, we will have two layers of protection. Even if the hiding position is discovered by those magic cultivators, we don’t have to worry.”
Xu Taiping nodded and smiled and said：
“This is just an extra safeguard. Maybe it won’t even be needed at all.”
Even so, in his heart, Xu Taiping actually had a premonition that relying solely on that stealth array was highly likely to be insufficient to evade detection, because his opponent was none other than the Demon Lord Tianxing.
“Old Zhang, while there’s still some time left, let’s take another look. See if the magic treasures and artifacts on us can support us in setting up two arrays.”
As Xu Taiping spoke, he took out all the items stored in the Mysterious Wilderness Ring.
All of these were things they had scavenged from the first to the third floors of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
“Actually, it should be sufficient. The treasures from the first three floors of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower are all in our hands.”
Old Zhang smiled.
Regarding whether the things on them were enough to set up two arrays, he actually had a pretty good idea in his mind.
“Plop！”
“Plop！”
Just as the three of them were about to finish counting the items two consecutive sounds of something hitting the ground rang out.
Turning their heads to look, they discovered that it was actually Yu Zhu and Zhai Mo who had arrived late.
“Young master, sorry for being late！”
Zhai Mo scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.
“Young master, something happened at home, so I’m late. Please don’t be angry, young master.”
Yu Zhu also said with an apologetic expression at this time.
“It’s good that you’re here, it’s good that you’re here.”
Xu Taiping stood up and shook his head repeatedly.
He had originally been worried that something might have happened to them as well.
”Nan… Nan Xing… Miss Nan Xing？！”
Just as Zhai Mo was smiling and planning to walk up to Xu Taiping to say hello, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and exclaimed in surprise with a stunned expression on his face.
”What’s all the fuss about？ I’m not dead. The person who died… wasn’t me.”
Nan Xing gave Zhai Mo a blank look.
”The one who died wasn’t… you？”
Zhai Mo didn’t quite believe it and immediately looked at Xu Taiping.
”She is indeed Miss Nan Xing. The Azure Dragon Order won’t misidentify people.”
Xu Taiping picked up the Azure Dragon Order in his hand and shook it at Zhai Mo.
”Phew… scared me to death…”
Zhai Mo let out a long breath and slapped his chest loudly with his big hand.
And just at this moment, this empty hall suddenly rumbled and trembled violently.
”Young master, the tower spirit is urging us to go up！”
Old Zhang suddenly put away the things on the ground and looked at Xu Taiping nervously.
”Then let’s climb the tower！”
Xu Taiping nodded, quickly put away the things on the ground, and then picked up a long knife named “Red Cloud” rewarded by the Mysterious Desolation Tower and quickly walked towards the gate of the tenth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.
Old Zhang and Nan Xing and the others followed closely behind.
Even though they knew that what awaited them at the door was most likely the butcher’s knife of the demonic cultivators, there was not a trace of fear on the faces of the few people.
