Chapter 1768: I Decide the Fate of the Spirit Stone Veins
The Cangyan Sect had dispatched three high-level members to oversee this Spirit Stone vein at Yuhu Mountain. Now, one was turned into a puppet corpse by Fang Bai, and the other two had fallen, leaving nearly a thousand mining menial servants hiding in a distant dense forest.
’s nest.
It was known that the Cangyan Sect’s main base had a Soul Hall, where soul lamps made from the blood essence and Divine Sense of the sect’s high-ranking members and important disciples were kept.
If the soul lamps of the three suddenly extinguished, the Cangyan Sect would know something major happened at this Spirit Stone vein and would undoubtedly send a large number of experts to besiege and kill.
"That’s right, they’re finished! Now, this Spirit Stone vein is under my command, you can take whatever you like!"
Fang Bai said with a smile.
Even though they had already speculated this, hearing Fang Bai confirm it shocked the four of Lei Zheng.
"Senior Fang, we better hurry back to Red Maple City!"
Lei Zheng thought to himself that the Cangyan Sect’s headquarters wasn’t too far from here, and it’s possible that strong experts were already on their way after discovering the soul lamps of the three had extinguished. If they were late in leaving, it might be hard to escape.
Lei Zheng also understood that although he and the others hadn’t participated in Fang Bai’s killing of Yin Hao and the others, they couldn’t extricate themselves. While pursuing Fang Bai, the Cangyan Sect would definitely hold them accountable too.
Moreover, Red Maple City was their "home ground" and being home to millions of experts, the Cangyan Sect would also dare not rashly invade. Only by returning there would Lei Zheng and the others feel at ease.
As for Fang Bai’s invitation to help themselves with the spirit stones, normally, they would have rushed over excitedly to fill their Space Rings to the brim. But at this moment, all they wanted was to leave this trouble spot quickly; they weren’t in the mood for anything else.
"Back to Red Maple City?"
Fang Bai waved his hand with a smile, saying, "You go ahead! I have to go to the Cangyan Sect to settle scores with Qiu Dechang and Zong Jinhai, for the sake of venting anger for my two disciples!"
Lei Zheng forced a smile and said, "Senior Fang, the Cangyan Sect is guarded by a sixth-level Thunder Tribulation expert, and its overall strength far surpasses sects like the Wind Blade Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect. Should you go alone, the consequences might be... unpredictable!"
Fang Bai laughed arrogantly and said, "Whether it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, I’ll brave it all!"
He patted Lei Zheng’s shoulder and added, "When you get back to Red Maple City, tell my friends and family that everything is fine here and not to worry! It won’t be long before I return to Red Maple City."
Seeing that Fang Bai wouldn’t heed his advice and was determined to go to the Cangyan Sect to demand justice, Lei Zheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, thinking, "This Senior Fang... so youthful and impulsive!"
"I have to first protect this Spirit Stone vein, and return to mine it later."
As he spoke, Fang Bai flew to the massive valley’s periphery, moving like lightning, circling around while occasionally sketching markings on the ground, continually embedding spirit stones along the way.
The four of Lei Zheng didn’t understand what Fang Bai was doing and watched with bewilderment.
"Done!"
After a short half an hour, Fang Bai clapped his hands to lightly touch one of the spirit stones under his feet. Instantly, tens of thousands of spirit stones emitted light, intertwining over the sky above the valley, forming a breathtaking light and shadow pattern.
Immediately, the light and shadow pattern vanished, and gone with it was the enormous valley of several miles in radius.
The four of Lei Zheng were dumbfounded. It was only then they realized that Fang Bai had just set up a large Concealment Formation that hid the entire valley.
This way, even if the Cangyan Sect disciples wanted to continue mining the Spirit Stone vein, they would find it difficult to locate the entrances to those pits in the valley.
Unless someone more skilled in formations than Fang Bai intervened to break this Concealment Formation, this Spirit Stone vein would truly become Fang Bai’s alone.
