For more than half a year, Qu Jianlei's whereabouts have been a mystery. Let alone outsiders, Red Leaf Ridge's internal staff are not very familiar with the information.
Of course, this may be Smoke Grenade released by Red Leaf Ridge, but it is indeed rare to see him appear.
Fortunately, Ridge Lord Qu appeared the day after Jiang Hui came for him.
Hearing that the test of expelling Heavenly Demon was completed, he specially came to the formation to inquire.
Strictly speaking, it is only a phased achievement, with many prerequisites and not very convenient to use.
But in any case, this is a key step forward for the research project and has a milestone significance.
Qu Jianlei thought about it for a while and thought it could be tried, and suggested that the test location be placed at Central Province.
Jade Forest Matron raised objections. She believed that Central Province's current Devil Situation was not too powerful, while North Talisman Province was more serious.
This is a fair theory. Everyone is well aware of the situation in the five major states, and the situation in North Talisman Province is the least optimistic.
Beifu asked Central Province for help many times, thinking that they were already in a similar situation to West Ox Embrace Province before its fall.
They even wanted to come to Red Leaf Ridge for help many times, but unfortunately Central Province guarded Ship Team very strictly.
Now Central Province and Dongsheng can travel very frequently without restrictions, but other states want to use the road to get to Dongsheng, and the traffic jam is very tight.
Red Leaf Ridge doesn't care about this, it is under the unified management of Central Province, and they are not interested in being meddlesome.
However, North Talisman Province tried his best and finally got through to Central Province and sent people to Red Leaf Ridge several times.
Red Leaf Ridge did take action once in North Talisman Province, but only once.
Jade Forest Matron believes that wherever Red Leaf Ridge has been, there must be Teleportation Array, so there is no problem with the distance.
In her opinion, the North Talisman Province situation is serious, and conducting experiments there can alleviate Devil Situation and allow a certain degree of error to be tolerated.
"Let's go to Central Province," True Immortal Guan Fei objected, "That's the most important center of Cangwu."
There are many people who support him, and many people even say that some researchers have not been home for a long time and just want to go back and take a look.
After discovering that Star Palace Golden Core Realm was possessed by the devil, Red Leaf Ridge issued an order: cultivators participating in the research were not allowed to leave at will.
Those who do not accept this condition can leave, and those who remain must abide by the regulations.
Star Palace and Book Pavilion both expressed their understanding that once these researchers are taken advantage of by Heavenly Demon, the consequences will be really serious.
This research project has been going on for almost two years now, and someone must be missing their family.
In the end, things were finally decided, and the test location was Central Province.
This time Red Leaf Ridge released three True Immortal, Duo Gan, Jia Shuiqing and... Ridge Lord Qu.
That's right, Qu Jianlei has disclosed his itinerary this time - he wants to enter Central Province.
After the news came out, Jade Forest Matron was the first to come over and expressed that he wanted to be responsible for the same test point as him.
Qu Jianlei shook his head and refused, saying that if it was Third Pavilion Lord, he could still consider it, and others would forget about it.
"Okay, then I'll tell senior brother," Jade Forest Matron decided decisively, "I will stay in the formation and continue to guard."
After the three groups were teleported to Central Province, Duo Gan and Jia Shuiqing each left with a group.
In this group of Qu Jianlei, apart from the two True Immortal, there are only two Kun cultivators Golden Core Realm, Rhine and Zi Jiuxian.
Third Pavilion Lord's image has always been one of being neither sullen nor angry, and this time is no exception. "Has the test location been decided?"
"I've made arrangements with someone," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "It will be here soon."
At Buduo, a Flying Shuttle flew in, and True Immortal San Shi and Duan Bowen came down.
This is another circle of Red Leaf Ridge in Central Province, somewhat biased towards Gray Area.
The four of them got on Flying Shuttle and left. Third Pavilion Lord didn't say a word and quietly watched Ridge Lord Qu's arrangements.
However, when he arrived at his destination, he was somewhat surprised, "Isn't it almost Forgotten Peninsula?"
"Yes," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded, "I'll try to expel you here."
Everyone walked into a small courtyard, which was about Buduo one square kilometer in size. The area was vast and sparsely populated, so a courtyard like this was really not that big.
Qu Jianlei nodded at San Shi and Duan Bowen Diandian, "Excuse me, you two, the rest is my business, please go slowly without seeing me off."
"No," True Immortal San Shi said with a smile, "We also want to participate and witness history."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Don't make trouble, people will really die."
"Who can avoid death?" Duan Bowen said loudly, "I am never afraid of death, I am just worried that my death will not be worth it!"
"That's up to you," Qu Jianlei stopped insisting and began to look around the yard.
At the same time, the groups of Duo Gan and Jia Shuiqing also arrived at the predetermined location.
The local cultivators had already gotten the news, and Nascent Soul True Immortal was waiting there with his people.
Central Province is highly welcome for any field operations of Red Leaf Ridge.
However, they told each other that it was best to evacuate the surrounding people, because in the event of an accident, the situation could easily become uncontrollable.
The local Nascent Soul Realm expressed his willingness to actively cooperate and immediately started publicity.
Compared with these two bustling places, Qu Jianlei and his group are extremely low-key.
The small courtyard was originally sparsely populated, and they kept it quiet. They didn't go out for several days and just set up in the courtyard.
On this day, an outsider suddenly came, but it was an inspection person from the local government.
The person who answered the door was Duan Bowen. He said that we were just passing by for traveling and had said hello in advance.
Heavenly Demon Traveling when the epidemic is raging... This may sound exaggerated, but it's really not surprising. There are many people running around during the plague.
The people in the government wanted to argue, but they found out that the other party was Nascent Soul True Immortal, so they really couldn't argue.
Another day passed, Nascent Soul Realm came over and wanted to confirm what happened.
As a result, among the people who came, someone recognized True Immortal San Shi and knew that he was in a powerful force.
The visitor gave a slight warning, "Heavenly Demon has been wreaking havoc recently and has slaughtered many villages and towns. Fellow Daoist, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
True Immortal San Shi did not make a statement. After returning, he said, "It's really unsafe here, much worse than Great Leaf City."
Qu Jianlei did not comment on this, but said, "Since we are not driven away, we can arrange it."
Not only are Zi Jiuxian and Rhine laying out various materials, but Ridge Lord Qu himself is also getting started.
But True Immortal San Shi and Duan Bowen really know nothing about it.
On the contrary, Third Pavilion Lord has been influenced by Encircle Devil Grand Array, and can help him, and he does have the flavor of an array mage.
However, he still couldn't help it, and asked while taking action, "Must you choose this place?"
"It's very nice here," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I'm curious if Heavenly Demon from random Exile can enter Forgotten Peninsula."
"As expected," Third Pavilion Lord shook his head and stopped talking.
He had thought beforehand that Ridge Lord Qu must have other thoughts when he came with great fanfare.
Now it seems that the other party has really not given up on looking for teammates and wants to make something of Forgotten Peninsula.
He was noncommittal about this kind of operation, even though it might violate the management of Forgotten Peninsula, it was still human nature.
After arranging the yard equipment, Duan Bowen has found two groups of Heavenly Devil Qi.
These two Devil Qi Cluster are in a semi-fixed state and do not form a fixed Heavenly Devil Domain. They will disperse when attacked.
Now Central Province's Devil Qi Cluster is mainly in this form. It is quite difficult to deal with. If it is scattered, it will gather elsewhere.
The cultivators mainly focus on those fixed Heavenly Devil Domains - if they are not dealt with, there will be a steady stream of Heavenly Demons coming.
Both groups Heavenly Devil Qi are not very big, covering an area of only seventy or eighty square kilometers.
However, there are many Heavenly Demon wandering around the air mass, covering an area of several hundred square kilometers.
Even cultivators possessed by demons can be found more than a hundred kilometers away from Devil Qi Cluster.
After selecting the target, Qu Jianlei took San Shi and Duan Bowen there, while Third Pavilion Lord and two Golden Core Realm took care of the facilities in the small courtyard.
There is no need to go into details about the process. The three True Immortal first took action suddenly and spent a day clearing the Heavenly Demon on the way forward.
In the next two days, Exile's sub-formation was deployed around Devil Qi Cluster.
Heavenly Demon's reaction was not slow either. He noticed three Human Race Nascent Soul Realm approaching and fought back while planning to escape.
It took a total of four days, and this group of Heavenly Devil Qi was successfully Exile.
The movement of Exile is relatively loud and can be felt from a distance of more than 200 kilometers, and consumes a lot of spiritual stones and materials.
In addition to the high consumption, the effect is not perfect, leaving a lot of Heavenly Devil Qi in the corners and some unformed Heavenly Demon.
However, it is certain that the Heavenly Demon formed inside Demonic Qi has disappeared - there is a suspected Nascent Soul Realm among them.
In any case, it is a good start. There are some shortcomings that can be improved slowly.
Then Qu Jianlei calculated it and determined that this wave of Heavenly Demon was destroyed by Exile, which he could not calculate.
Putting aside the possibility of the secret being obscured, the distance between Heavenly Demon and Exile is really not that far away.
When Out-of-Body Heavenly Demon left West Ox Embrace Province, Qu Jianlei could still sense its presence in the void, and now Exile was definitely farther away.
If you use shells to calculate, you might be able to calculate the approximate direction, but... why bother?
After checking the results, the three Nascent Soul Realm did not clean up the remaining Demonic Qi at all, and went straight to the second Devil Qi Cluster.
Facts have proved that their choice was right. The vigilance of Heavenly Demon here is obviously higher than that of the first Devil Qi Cluster.
I wonder if they have learned about the disappearance of Devil Qi Cluster. Qu Jianlei believes that Heavenly Demon will not be slow in delivering messages.
It took two days to process this Devil Qi Cluster, but this time only half of the Exile formation was deployed.
Heavenly Demon was on strong alert, and all three of them were under heavy attack. They surrounded Devil Qi Cluster halfway before activating the formation.
This time, the effect of Exile was not very good, with less than half of Heavenly Demon remaining.
However, the organization of this group Heavenly Demon was completely disrupted.
While Qu Jianlei was calculating and inspecting the results, True Immortal San Shi and Duan Bowen were cleaning up the remaining Heavenly Demon.
At this moment, a Warship was approaching rapidly in the distance. Before it could stop, a figure floated out.
"Ridge Lord Qu, you... alas, Dao Palace, you're late."
