Chapter 780: The Escape Plan
Feeling the intense shaking of the earth and seeing the crack rushing towards them like a giant dragon, Jiang Yun made a decision in an instant.
"Brother Hou, while the formation is not yet broken, I will lead him away. You should seize the opportunity to leave. He is targeting me, even if he discovers you, he shouldn’t trouble you."
At the same time Jiang Yun spoke these words, beneath the ground of Peach Blossom City, beside the mountain wall covered in black vines, the chief of the Golden Toad clan, Jin Cunyao, was anxiously circling around.
Every time he circled, he would sneak a glance at Ye Tianshi, who was sitting with his eyes closed in a barrel.
At this moment, he was truly extremely anxious.
Because Jiang Yun has been inside for five or six days, but his grandfather made him wait when they arrived here.
He didn’t know what his grandfather was waiting for.
Others may not know, but Jin Cunyao is the leader of the Golden Toad clan, and Ye Tianshi is a disciple of the Medicine God. They know that behind this mountain wall is not an exit from the Dao Prison, but the stronghold of a very powerful demon race!
Over the years, countless cultivators have entered with hope, but none have come out.
Regardless of Jiang Yun’s strength, his grandfather said that this time entering here is definitely related to the Dao God Temple, and they are here to save Jiang Yun. But if they always stay outside, how can they save him?
Anxious, Jin Cunyao couldn’t help but say cautiously, "Grandfather, shall I go in and explore first?"
After a short silence, Ye Tianshi’s voice finally rang in his mind, "Stay calm, neither the blood demon nor the Supreme Envoy from the Dao God Temple has truly acted yet!"
"My time and power are limited, I can only act once at most. So, I have to wait for them to act before I can make a move!"
Jin Cunyao quickly added, "But, Grandfather, besides these two, there are others inside!"
Ye Tianshi slowly opened his eyes and softly said, "If Jiang Yun can’t handle anyone else, then I will even give up this one chance to help!"
Ye Tianshi’s words, though harsh, made Jin Cunyao immediately close his mouth.
Because he knew that what Ye Tianshi said was the truth.
Ye Tianshi wanted to save Jiang Yun not because of their close relationship, but simply because Jiang Yun is also a descendant of the Medicine God.
Only if Jiang Yun stays alive, he will have a chance to save the Medicine God.
But if Jiang Yun can’t even deal with those cultivators who are clearly beneath Ye Tianshi’s notice, there is no hope for him to save the Medicine God.
At the same time, the beggar who woke up left the Golden Toad clan and embarked on a journey to find his little martial brother without any clues.
…
Seeing Jiang Yun turning to leave the formation, Hou Muran suddenly reached out and grabbed him, saying, "Brother Jiang, it’s not time to fight for our lives yet. Leaving the formation now is too early!"
"Moreover, even if you lead him away, do you think he will spare me?"
"Although I’m not strong, don’t forget, I am quite skilled in formations."
Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up at Hou Muran’s words, "Does Brother Hou have a better way to escape?"
Hou Muran nodded, "I’m not completely certain, but it’s slightly better than fighting him head-on!"
"Okay, if you need my help, just tell me!"
If Jiang Yun wasn’t pushed to a dead end, he wouldn’t want to confront Yue Qing directly. So, when he heard that Hou Muran had another plan, he was willing to try it.
Hou Muran said solemnly, "This plan indeed requires you, and it comes with great risks. If it fails, you will still fall into his hands."
Jiang Yun smiled faintly, "What if it succeeds?"
Jiang Yun’s question made Hou Muran appreciate him. In this situation, if someone else had asked first, they would have wondered about the risks.
But Jiang Yun asked what would happen after success.
This shows that Jiang Yun not only doesn’t care about any risks at all, but more importantly, he clearly trusts himself a lot.
Hou Muran also smiled and said, "If we succeed, at least we can have three days to escape!"
Three days may not be long, but it opens up countless possibilities. So, without hesitation, Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Brother Hou, please tell me what the plan is."
"It’s simple. I’ll give you a formation stone with an Illusion Array already set up inside."
"Not to boast, but this formation can be said to be the strongest Illusion Array I have ever set up in my life. So, I’m confident that even if this Yue Qing still has the cultivation of the Daoxing Realm, it will be enough to trap him for three days."
After hearing this, Jiang Yun immediately understood Hou Muran’s plan.
Illusion Array is something Jiang Yun is familiar with – it’s a formation that uses the power of formations to create an illusion to trap enemies.
However, to trap enemies, the basic requirement is to lure the enemy into the Illusion Array. So, it is essential to set up the Illusion Array beforehand and then entice the enemy into it.
Just like what Hou Muran said, hiding the Illusion Array in the formation stone means that even if it’s crushed, the enemy won’t be trapped in the Illusion Array as long as there’s a little distance between them and you.
In simpler terms, this method requires you to stay very close to Yue Qing.
However, Hou Muran continued, "My Illusion Array is a bit different from what you imagine."
"No matter the formation or how skilled you are in it, there will always be different activation times when starting a formation."
"This is unavoidable for anyone."
"Even though this time can be almost negligible, with Yue Qing’s strength, he still has the ability to create distance and escape the Illusion Array’s coverage."
"Besides, since Yue Qing has fought you before, he will naturally be cautious of you and the chances of him getting close to you are very slim."
"So, the Illusion Array I’ve set up only requires you to stay one yard away from him, but you’ll have to endure one of his attacks."
"Once his power hits you, you must immediately crush the formation stone, neither too early nor too late."
"Only this way, you and him, or the Illusion Array and him, will be like a rope connected by his power, pulling him completely into the Illusion Array!"
Jiang Yun finally understood, no wonder Hou Muran said his way was only slightly better than going all out!
Just keeping a distance of one zhang from Yue Qing was risky enough, but he didn’t expect to endure his strike, and even have the formation stone crushed under his strike.
Although Jiang Yun believed Yue Qing wouldn’t make his death too easy, but if he crushed the formation stone too early or too late, not only would he suffer the blow in vain, but he might not have a chance to resist again.
If he directly rushed out to fight Yue Qing, the result would most likely be certain death, but following Hou Muran’s plan, he had a nine out of ten chance of survival!
A glimmer of hope!
Seeing Jiang Yun silent, Hou Muran stopped talking, knowing very well how risky his plan was for Jiang Yun.
However, he also knew Jiang Yun had to make a decision quickly because the current formation, under Yue Qing’s almost frantic attacks, wouldn’t last much longer.
After a few moments, Jiang Yun extended his palm and said, "Brother Hou, give me the formation stone!"
