Chapter 1056 - 885: Several Dozen Veins

Although it's unclear how these bastards escaped silently from the Iron Barrel Formation I set up, we can't just sit back and do nothing. We have no other choice but to set up the Iron Barrel Formation again to entrap them.

Luo Yuanfeng had no objections after collecting the previous array, and he agreed to another survey and setup.

However, Lin Wuxiang, who specializes in using poison, had to wake up and say, "Mr. Yu, that's not how poison is used. Spreading it over a few miles, any poison user would struggle. This isn't Luo Yuanfeng's array, which can be reused. Once the poison is spread, how is it recovered? You previously said that setting it up like an iron bucket would surely capture them in one move. I was compelled to lavishly use it on a large area, but now that we haven't caught anyone, you want to do it again. I'm exhausted."

Yu Yifu replied in a deep voice, "Don't worry about the consumption. Once the task is accomplished, I'll report to the Royal Court and double the reimbursement for your losses."

By now, he was almost certain that Shi Chun's mount should be here; all that was missing was conclusive proof.

Lin Wuxiang could only nod helplessly.

Following that, the Demon Eye Cultivators, who were investigating the disappearance of the guards, brought forth their compilation of results. With a mere glance, the two went aside to communicate privately.

The cloaked man reported softly, "We can confirm that the aura was cut off at the place he was guarding, suggesting that he is likely gone."

Yu Yifu narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems the person who fought four others is still around, able to silently approach and kill by finding a loophole. You say, since the mount can see the Sandalwood Gold veins underground, can it see us through the sand layer?"

The cloaked man's expression tightened, nodding, "It's possible. The way they precisely identify a weak spot without alerting others suggests a high possibility."

Yu Yifu turned back, broke through the sand layer and found the people he was coordinating with, signaling to two of them, "Immediately head to the Yanfu Continent exit, bring over the other half of our personnel, leaving just ten to guard." His gaze swept over everyone, "This time, let's ensure that each defense point is guarded by at least two people working together!"

Upon his command, San's group resumed their tense and orderly bustle.

Wu Jinliang was watching from within a barrier not far away, observing this group of persistent men, he felt a surge of murderous intent that he had to suppress several times.

After witnessing Huang Yingying easily dispatch guards in front of them, he indeed wanted to eliminate all of San's group with similar tactics.

However, his Transformation Technique had limitations, it could only be maintained for the time of half an incense stick, and needed a considerable amount of time to perform again. It was impossible to deal with everyone in such a large area within that time frame.

This was where the problem lay, Yu Yifu and his group would regularly inspect each point; his next time for transformation couldn't hold until Yu Yifu's next patrol.

Not to mention that Li Hongjiu mentioned that among the arrivals there seemed to be some experts at the Upper Sky Immortal Realm; the power gap between realms at the Heavenly Immortal Realm was vast.

Even with a Void Escape Divine Arrow, dealing with experts at the Upper Sky Immortal Realm was uncertain.

When faced with such experts, not only Huang Yingying lacked confidence, but Wu Jinliang also did not believe Huang Yingying could be certain.

Observing and waiting, he noticed that San's group had brought another forty experts to fortify, and each gap in their line was guarded by at least two people. Wu Jinliang was tense, reluctant to attempt escape using previous methods.

After all, they didn't know which individuals were the experts at the Upper Sky Immortal Realm; even Li Hongjiu was unclear, so how could they know? In this aspect, San was not as adept as Shi Chun.

Some things that Shi Chun could see, San couldn't; some that San could see, Shi Chun couldn't.

Actually, the previous escape method was already quite risky, and now with double the personnel guarding the gaps, he had to reconsider if he should attempt a risky large move...

Days later, after the Sandalwood Gold veins here were mined, the Golden-haired Rat Clan had lost their initial enthusiasm for profit, clearly weary.

Observing this, Huang Yingying said to the pondering Wu Jinliang, "Boss Wu, after digging for so many days, even iron will get tired; we need to let them rest a bit."

Wu Jinliang looked up at the tired expressions of everyone, "Let's leave here first. As long as we can escape smoothly, we'll arrange for shifts to rest afterward."

Huang Yingying asked, "Are we using the previous method to escape?"

"They are prepared, so it might not be as effective again." Wu Jinliang glanced over everyone, chuckling, "This time, let's go big."

The crowd exchanged confused looks, not understanding what he meant by going big.

Wu Jinliang told them to wait there, as he went alone into a certain spot within the sand layer, stopping and raising one palm to the sky, using a spell to trigger an illusion of the void. A metallic umbrella frame floated in the starry sky.

He took out a golden command arrow, inserted it into the umbrella handle, immediately turning the frame from illusion to reality. Then, twisting the handle in the reverse direction, as a mysterious power fluctuated, streams of golden light shot into the void, forming a complete large metal umbrella.

Once the umbrella closed, the large formation was also nullified.

Who knew, after closing the umbrella, he opened it again, twisting the handle again, the void imaged once more, starry illusions appeared, and a dozen strands of golden light shot continuously into the void. Wu Jinliang withdrew the golden command arrow, and the umbrella frame floated in the starry space. Then, the void waved like an illusion, disappearing along with the starry sky.
