Chapter 217 This miasma is actually non-toxic?
Meanwhile, in the Autumn Kingdom's Heavenly Prison.
Xiao Lin stood on high ground, looking down at the people trapped in the sword formation below.
The longsword, formed from condensed blue mist, is currently weaving through the formation.
The Southern Frontier cultivators trapped inside could only flee in panic within this small area.
However, the swords were too densely packed, and before long, most of the cultivators from the Southern Frontier had been killed or wounded.
"The Azure Sword Formation is primarily for killing. This is the first time I've used it since I learned this formation."
Xiao Lin watched with amusement as the Southern Frontier cultivators fell one after another in the sword formation, marveling at the power of the formation.
"No wonder they say that array formations are the most powerful weapon in war. Once this array is set up, any cultivator who enters it will have no chance of escape unless they have extraordinary cultivation."
"Qiu Lin has already made his move; I wonder how things are going with Senior Brother."
.............................................................
Southern Xinjiang, Tiejia Village.
The Tie family's house is located halfway up a mountain. Under the moonlight, the lights are bright, as if they are a belt around the towering mountain range.
The moonlight was bright, and Chu Luobai and the other two stood at a distance, watching from afar.
"The location of the Tie family is well chosen. It is on high ground, with an excellent view. They can see any movement below."
"Backed by high mountains, it also eliminates the risk of being surrounded. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a good place."
Chu Luobai sighed twice, his gaze sweeping over the Tie family's surroundings.
For a moment, he couldn't think of any good attack route.
“The southern border is full of mountains and forests, and monsters and wild beasts roam freely. Not everyone in the family is a cultivator. If he doesn’t find a good spot, he won’t even know how he died when the beast tide comes.”
As Xun Nan spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a dimly lit area below.
"We'll go from that spot later."
“That area was filled with miasma, and the Tie family thought it was an insurmountable barrier, so they didn’t take any precautions.”
"Unfortunately, the more confident they are, the easier it is to kill them."
Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow. Xun Nan seemed to have an exceptional understanding of things like miasma in the mountains and forests.
When we followed Xun Nan to that area, it was indeed as Xun Nan had said: the air was thick with miasma and there were no defensive measures in place.
But Chu Luobai quickly noticed the difference.
Along the way, when we encountered miasma-filled areas that we had to avoid, they were like dead zones, completely silent.
But now, the faint chirping of insects and birds can be heard in this area.
"Let's go, let's raid the back mountain of the Tie family."
Xun Nan's voice was tinged with laughter, as if he was even happier doing this than Chu Luobai and Gu Lin.
With that, he walked straight into the miasma.
Chu Luobai stood quietly behind him, watching. Xun Nan stood in the miasma without showing any discomfort.
"At this hour, what is shrouding this area is just ordinary fog, not miasma."
Xun Nan raised his hand, and a little sparrow landed on his finger, tilting its head and looking curiously at Chu Luobai and Gu Lin.
It was as if they were asking why they had come here.
"The poisonous miasma will turn into ordinary fog that poses no threat after a few hours...?"
Chu Luobai had never heard of such a miraculous thing before.
"I told you before, so-called miasma is just a manifestation of spiritual energy."
“Spiritual energy comes from the energy of heaven and earth. Celestial phenomena are constantly changing, as are the earth’s veins.”
"It is perfectly normal for the properties of these miasmas to change with the changes in the earth's energy."
"However, it is very difficult to detect this change."
As Xun Nan spoke, he turned and walked deeper into the area.
Chu Luobai turned her head and exchanged a glance with Gu Lin. The two of them steeled their hearts and stepped into the miasma.
The moment Chu Luobai entered the miasma, he felt his whole body enveloped in moisture, and the air became viscous.
However, the spiritual energy in this air is more chaotic and more abundant than that in the outside world.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, this miasma is only non-toxic for this short half hour."
"If the Tie family is up to no good, we're afraid we'll have no choice but to fight our way out from the front."
Xun Nan revealed a sly smile, his eyes slightly bright, shrouded in mist, like an unruly wildcat.
"Is that so? If we can't break through the encirclement, it wouldn't be bad to become a pair of doomed lovers with my little male concubine."
Chu Luobai's lips curled up slightly. Seeing Xun Nan's expression darken and the smile in his eyes fade, she felt inexplicably better.
She had been mocked by Xun Nan for using the term "male concubine" all along, and now it was her turn to fight back.
"Ahem, could you two star-crossed lovers discuss this issue later?"
Gu Lin, who was standing to the side, coughed twice and pointed to the increasingly thick water vapor around them.
"I think we should go through first and then we'll talk about it."
...........
"Has it turned back into miasma?"
As soon as Chu Luobai passed through the area where the fog was, he felt a change in the spiritual energy behind him.
She subconsciously looked back and saw that the originally pure white mist had begun to turn a faint purple.
Just looking at it makes you feel that the fog is dangerous.
"The earth's energy is shifting, and the toxicity is still very weak. With your cultivation levels, passing through shouldn't be a problem."
Xun Nan didn't turn around, but still dutifully explained to Chu Luobai.
"If you follow this path, you'll reach the back mountain of the Tie family."
"There should be detection methods they have set up along this road. Stay close to me and don't use your spiritual power for now."
.............
On the other side, the main building of the Tie family.
Tie Ao sat cross-legged under the moonlight, absorbing the radiance of the sun and moon.
Beside him was a small flowerpot with a small, dry branch on it.
On a tree branch, a white worm was lying there, as if it were sleeping.
Fluorescent dots gathered around the Gu worm, continuously condensing onto its body.
If you look closely, you can see a faint red light connecting the Gu worm to the tree branch beneath it.
Just like the umbilical cord connecting mother and baby, it delivers nutrients little by little.
Tie Ao suddenly opened his eyes, and a worm flashing with a dark green light flew wobbled and landed on his hand.
The next second, the insect turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared.
A hint of impatience and anger flashed in Tie Ao's eyes.
"These useless people have disregarded my years of planning to plant them in Qiu Kingdom."
"We were just trying to save one person, and it actually led to the annihilation of our entire army?"
The thought that all the spies he had planted in Qiu Kingdom had been wiped out, and that he hadn't been able to bring Qiu Yue and Qiu Xue over, made Tie Ao unable to suppress his anger.
"I've really raised a bunch of useless people."
Tie Ao cursed angrily, then suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards the back mountain.
