That's right.
Things are not simple.
Lin Zhinan pointed to the map drawn by Chi Bing and frowned, saying, "In this city battle, none of the three sides know the other's location or the surrounding terrain."
"In this situation of blind groping, information warfare becomes the most crucial element."
Hearing Lin Zhinan's words, Gu Xi's excited heart gradually cooled down.
"You mean, this could be a trap?"
Lin Zhinan nodded and said, "That's right, there's at least a 70% chance it's a trap. The Avici Purgatory and the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall are not simple people. They must know how important information is, and at the same time, how important it is to protect their own information."
"So, what Chi Bing saw was that the two from the Avici Purgatory were extremely arrogant, flying freely in the sky as if they looked down on everything?"
At this point, Lin Zhinan sneered, "It's as if they're leading others into a trap they've laid out!"
Ye Qiubai nodded slightly. "That's true. However, it's only because Chi Bing saw the other party's city that there's a 30% chance that it was an open conspiracy, where the other party deliberately exposed their city."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhinan nodded in agreement, saying, "That's true, but I really can't figure out why the Avici Purgatory side would do this. Could it be that they really have some backup plan that allows them to ignore all of our attacks?"
Su Muyou said, "Should we send someone else to take a look?"
"Sending people is definitely necessary," Lin Zhinan nodded. "However, this time, the people sent won't all be for an attack, but rather to continue reconnaissance and thoroughly investigate the terrain of all four city gates."
Gu Xi stepped forward and said, "I'll go."
Chi Bing then stood up and said, "Then I'll take you there; after all, I've already been there once."
Ye Qiubai nodded and said, "In that case, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Xi and Chi Bing both nodded.
They walked outside.
Lin Zhinan was still studying the map drawn by Chi Bing.
Ye Qiubai then headed to the residence where Mu Fusheng was staying.
I want to check on the progress.
As we walked in.
Then they saw several talismans floating in front of Mu Fusheng.
Meanwhile, the talisman brush in Mu Fusheng's hand danced continuously across the talisman papers.
Several seals engraved at once!
If outside talisman masters were to witness this, they would likely be greatly alarmed.
Even Immortal Talisman Master might not be able to do this!
It not only places extremely high demands on the spirit and soul.
They are extremely demanding when it comes to self-control!
After Mu Fusheng finished drawing this round, he looked at Ye Qiubai and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
Ye Qiubai asked with a smile, "How much more do we need to complete it?"
"About three days."
"Okay, you're faster."
Mu Fusheng: "???"
Something about what you're saying doesn't sound right.
Is this an insult to me?
Then, Ye Qiubai recounted what Chi Bing had discovered.
Mu Fusheng expressed the same view as Lin Zhinan.
This must be a trap!
However, Mu Fusheng suddenly thought of something and said with a serious expression, "There is another possibility."
"Among the talismans I know, there is one called Mirage. As the name suggests, it can create illusions, showing the enemy what the enemy wants them to see."
"Just like an illusion."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai was slightly taken aback, then his expression changed drastically!
If what Mu Fusheng said is true...
Therefore, it is highly likely that Chi Bing saw at that time was just an illusion!
Now Chi Bing and Gu Xi are in danger!
Seeing this, Mu Fusheng also said solemnly, "We must go and provide support quickly."
That's all.
The two left the mansion and gathered everyone together.
This possibility has been raised.
Lin Zhinan's face immediately darkened.
"In that case, our support will be useless."
" Gu Xi and Chi Bing are probably arriving soon. With their strength, they can kill or torture them in a short time."
Ye Qiubai said, "Let's go outside to greet them first. They have Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman, so even if they're ambushed, they should have a chance to escape."
As expected.
Things turned out exactly as Mu Fusheng had described.
Chi Bing saw back then was nothing but an illusion!
Now, Chi Bing and Gu Xi are surrounded by Pan Xie, Jiang Chen, Han Hua, Yu Huang.
Above them, Qiu Genyin and the other four from the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall stood atop them!
As for the city we saw back then?
There's just a forest ahead!
There were no cities at all!
Seeing this scene...
Both Gu Xi and Chi Bing looked grim.
Pan Xie then sneered loudly, "As expected, we've caught two fish."
Chi Bing's face darkened as he asked, "How did you do that? I clearly didn't sense any formation."
Sword cultivators are extremely sensitive to other auras.
Therefore, if it were an array, even if Chi Bing couldn't detect it in time, he should still be able to sense the slightest trace of its aura!
"How did you do that?" Pan Xie. "It's okay if I tell you."
That brings us to this.
A flag appeared in Pan Xie's hand.
Countless wronged souls howl upon the banner!
"It's not some kind of formation; it's simply extracting the soul memories of someone who has died and then materializing them."
A cruel smile appeared on Pan Xie's face as he said, "This method is much more realistic than any illusion array, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this...
Chi Bing and Gu Xi Xi's expressions became even more unpleasant.
At this moment, Gu Xi whispered, "Be prepared to escape using talismans at any time."
Chi Bing nodded.
Both of them drew their swords at the same moment!
And at this moment.
Qiu Genyin then took out a compass!
On the compass, there is a pointer.
It exuded a suppressive power!
"I know Mu Fusheng is on your team, so he'll definitely give you some escape talismans."
Qiu Genyin said calmly, "So don't waste your energy. Escape talismans are useless under my compass unless you can use an escape talisman that has reached the Immortal Rank!"
Having witnessed Mu Fusheng's actions, Qiu Genyin was naturally well-prepared.
Both Gu Xi and Chi Bing had grim expressions.
In that case, the chance of escape is practically zero...
Pan Xie laughed loudly, "Alright, enough with the nonsense! Are you going to cripple your cultivation and come with us, or do you want us to make a move?"
Gu Xi sneered, and a sharp Sword Intent burst forth from the three-foot-long sword in her hand!
The sword in Chi Bing's hand was wreathed in Soul Fire!
"Sword cultivators never suffer defeat without a fight."
"If we were to admit defeat now, we might not deserve to be called sword cultivators..."
PS: It was just a low-grade strain; my buddy's already recovered. He was such a wimp.
