"If Senior Qin has ordered us to guard this place for three days, then we must prevent any cultivators from entering within that time. If we disobey, you and I may well be risking our lives. So we must accomplish this with all our strength, regardless of the consequences. Qiu has some spirit insects. If I drive them without regard for the consequences, they should be able to delay a dozen or so cultivators for a while. Brother Xu's Household excels in formations, so please arrange some formation arrays around us in case of need."
Seeing Qin Fengming disappear, Qiu Han's eyes flashed with severity, and he spoke first.
Confronted with the unknown number of cultivators who might come, Qiu Han could only make the worst-case preparations.
"Setting up a grand formation now is certainly impossible. The three of us have some formation plates and arrays on us, but they won't cover a very large area. However, we can arrange them on the far side of the island, so we won't need to concern ourselves with anyone coming from that direction for the time being. Since we're staying here, we should be able to draw the arriving cultivators here as well."
Thoughts raced through Xu Yang's mind as he spoke.
As soon as he finished, Xu Ming and Xu Ru immediately followed his lead and flew around the island.
"If anyone comes, Meng will negotiate with them. It's best if we can avoid fighting." Meng He spoke with a solemn expression.
Xu Yang and Qiu Han suddenly showed thoughtful expressions. After exchanging a glance, they both nodded.
Meng He was neither a sect cultivator nor a member of a Household, but he was renowned throughout the Cultivation World surrounding Nine Ruins Mountain and maintained ties with many Households and sects.
