Borrowing the Tiger's Might
Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu's heart stirred, and he quickly responded:
"Has Qin Li already hidden herself well?"
All that pre-production has been staged; if it's discovered, then all our efforts will have been in vain.
Not only that, it might also incur the wrath of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
"Don't worry, Sect Leader."
On Hidden Origin Peak, Lu Changzhi responded with a faint smile.
This is a perfect opportunity to test my skills with these people from the holy land.
Saint Rank top-grade formation.
Even the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is probably no better than this.
After receiving Lu Changzhi's response, Cang Wenyu thought for a moment and then believed him.
During this period, Lu Changzhi's actions have indeed matured a lot.
At that moment, he stood up and stepped forward, smiling:
"If that's the case, then please follow me."
Afterwards, the group headed towards the location of Hidden Origin Peak.
Soon, the group appeared on Hidden Origin Peak.
Looking at Hidden Origin Peak, which consisted of only a few houses, Cao Yu frowned.
"Sect Master Cang, are you sure this is Hidden Origin Peak?"
Beside him, Cang Wenyu nodded:
"That's true, but Hidden Origin Peak has only been established for a short time, and there aren't many people there yet."
Cao Yu did not speak, but instead transmitted his voice to the old man beside him:
"Elder Zhu, is there anything hidden here, or some kind of illusion?"
At the same time, Cao Yu asked:
"I wonder if the Hidden Origin Peak Master Lu Changzhi and his disciple Gu Chen are present?"
As soon as the voice faded, the two walked out one after the other.
Cao Yu looked over, and after a moment, his brows furrowed.
In his investigation, Lu Changzhi's strength and aptitude were indeed rather lacking.
While not terribly bad, calling him the master of a peak is a bit of an exaggeration.
"As the master of a peak, why is your aura so weak?"
"Um?"
A look of surprise crossed Lu Changzhi's face as he spoke:
"Am I really that weak?"
Just as Cao Yu was about to speak, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Only then did he notice that Lu Changzhi possessed a method of disguising his aura.
He had clearly disguised himself as someone at the Void Transformation Realm.
Unfortunately, this method of disguise was far too crude for him.
His true level of attainment was merely the Peak Spirit Sea Realm.
Cao Yu glanced at him and noticed that Cang Wenyu's expression was somewhat strange.
At that moment, he probably had a guess in his mind.
"Is it a case of the fox borrowing the tiger's power?"
Cao Yu whispered a message to Xiao Qing.
Then Xiao Qing stepped forward and said:
"Xiao Qing of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land wishes to exchange blows with you."
After speaking, Xiao Qing looked at Lu Changzhi.
Lu Changzhi looked over and gently shook his head.
"As the peak master, how can I fight with an ordinary disciple? You fight my disciple instead."
"Hehe."
Cao Yu chuckled softly:
"Then there's no need."
After saying that, he looked at Cang Wenyu and said:
"The Hidden Origin Peak of the Five Symbols Sect seems to be somewhat overrated."
He had learned from Elder Zhu that there were no hidden formations or illusion arrays on Hidden Origin Peak.
Hidden Origin Peak is indeed exactly as it appears before us.
As for Cang Wenyu's previous performance, it is now clear.
It's simply because they're afraid of finding out the truth.
"This matter..." Cang Wenyu coughed lightly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Please keep this a secret. With Hidden Origin Peak around, it will put some pressure on the other sects."
Cao Yu sneered inwardly.
This Five Symbols Sect really knows how to put on a brave face.
He has already visited the other five major powers.
The overall level of those powerful disciples is far superior to that of the Five Symbols Sect.
As for the Hidden Origin Peak, which they mentioned as having many geniuses.
It's more like a joke.
Even if someone begged to become his disciple, he wouldn't even glance at this guy named Gu Chen.
"I thought I could find something at the Five Symbols Sect, but it seems I was overthinking it."
Cao Yu felt a sense of disappointment.
"That's true. After all, the Five Symbols Sect is the weakest among the top forces. Among these forces, even if they find Saint Rank junior, the Mystic One Sect is the most likely to succeed."
Upon realizing this, Cao Yu immediately lost interest.
"Don't worry, my Holy Land will keep your secret."
"As for the matter of Saint Rank juniors, your Five Symbols Sect will have to pay more attention to it."
Meanwhile, on Hidden Origin Peak.
Cang Wenyu and the others stared at the three people standing motionless, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Changzhi, are you saying they're currently in the secret realm?"
Lu Changzhi sat in the recliner, nodding with a smile.
This Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array can directly affect the mind and spirit of others.
At this moment, the three people from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land were in this situation.
As for what they saw and experienced.
All of them were under Lu Changzhi's control.
The people standing nearby were starting to get a little unsettled.
It's important to know that these three people are quite powerful.
The old man, in particular, possessed a divine sense that was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Now, even they are trapped by the illusion array.
"Peak Master Xu, what level is this illusion array?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Kun pondered for a moment.
"Unless it's some special illusion array, it must be at least at the Saint Rank."
"Saint Rank Illusion Array"
All the peak masters and elders gasped.
The Five Symbols Sect does possess formations of this level.
But it's only used in the most crucial areas.
And it's not an illusion array.
"Changzhi, what exactly is going on?"
Cang Wenyu looked at Lu Changzhi.
Lu Changzhi blinked and said:
"Do you think my parents founded Hidden Origin Peak in the first place?"
Everyone was taken aback. "Is it because of this illusion array?"
Lu Changzhi smiled but remained silent.
A hint of uncertainty appeared on Cang Wenyu's face:
"But they didn't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Kun interrupted:
"Could it be that there wasn't enough time at the time? After all, everything that happened afterward was so sudden..."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
At that moment, Cao Yu suddenly moved.
The airship reappeared.
The three boarded the flying boat and ascended into the sky.
A few breaths later, the flying boat departed.
"I really don't know how the Five Symbols Sect became a top-tier power."
On the flying boat, Xiao Qing shook his head slightly, his eyes showing disdain.
"Just scheming." Cao Yu chuckled lightly.
"The other forces are all fools too, actually being fooled by Hidden Origin Peak."
After a pause, Cao Yu shook his head:
"However, the more powerful a sect is, the easier it is to control. Even if the Five Symbols Sect becomes the top power, they themselves won't be able to sit still."
"But they're still indulging in wishful thinking. That's fine, though. Since they have ideas, they'll definitely do their best for the Holy Land."
As they were talking, several flying boats approached from a distance.
"The other groups." Cao Yu looked over.
"What brings you here?"
"Brother Cao, have you already been to Hidden Origin Peak?"
The one who spoke was an elder from the Mystic One Sect.
Cao Yu nodded, glanced at the others, and said, "You're here for this matter too?"
The other three parties nodded in agreement.
How could they possibly miss such a golden opportunity to gather intelligence?
"With my status as a member of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, of course I can go to Hidden Origin Peak."
Cao Yu paused, then changed the subject:
"However, you should all understand."
"The news is valuable."
"That's natural," the group said in unison.
At the same time, they each took out their prepared storage rings and handed them to Cao Yu.
Cao Yu reached out, about to take it.
Suddenly, a beam of light flew in from afar.
It is a jade talisman with the words "Cloud Heaven" printed on it.
Cao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to take it.
Immediately, his expression changed slightly.
Within the jade talisman was a command:
"The celestial phenomena in the Eastern Region have changed, indicating impending unforeseen events. Return to the Holy Land immediately and do not get involved."
