Formation Mechanism!
The Old Daoist with the bull nose chatted and laughed with Xiao Cangsheng the entire way. After all, Xiao Cangsheng was still a scholar and treated people kindly.
Lin Bai, on the other hand, had been deliberately left out in the cold by Ma Qiuming.
As they talked, the group arrived at a tree-lined path.
Ma Qiuming said, "President Xiao Cangsheng, follow this path all the way to the end. There's a valley there called Yunyan Valley. It's where our Heaven and Earth Gate receives distinguished guests."
"There are too many chores to deal with in the sect, so I'll see you this far. Please forgive me, President Xiao Cangsheng."
Ma Qiuming smiled apologetically.
"Elder Ma, go ahead." Xiao Cangsheng smiled. "It's only two or three li from here. Lin Bai and I can walk there ourselves."
Ma Qiuming smiled and apologized repeatedly before turning around and leaving with the disciples under his command.
Lin Bai and Xiao Cangsheng stood on the path, watching Ma Qiuming's departing back. A cold smile appeared at the corners of both their mouths.
Immediately afterward.
Lin Bai turned toward the end of the path. His gaze blazed like a torch, piercing through a thousand li at a glance.
The power of the Asura Dharma Eyes flickered within his pupils, allowing Lin Bai to see at once how many hidden mechanisms and formations lay concealed along the path.
The place where Lin Bai and Xiao Cangsheng currently stood was only a moment away from Yunyan Valley.
Ma Qiuming had accompanied them so far, yet stopped here. Clearly, there was more to this than met the eye.
Sure enough, beneath Lin Bai's Asura Dharma Eyes, he discovered that this path, less than ten li long, was covered in all sorts of formations and restrictions.
