Chapter 629 People from the Xu Family Arrive
"Don't worry about that, Shi Xiaokun will handle it."
Ning Qi didn't care at all.
"Master, where should we go? It's getting late."
Yao Ling didn't say anything more, but looked at the sky and said.
"Let's find a place to rest in the city."
"When it gets light, we'll go to the Wanxiao Sect outside the city."
Ning Qi began to observe the surroundings.
They were clearly choosing a place to rest.
"Master, I think we should rest on the south gate tower."
"This place has the highest elevation, so you can see far."
"If anything happens, we can detect it immediately."
Yao Ling pointed in a direction and made a suggestion.
"Okay, let's go here then."
Ning Qi didn't hesitate and readily agreed.
Then he and Yao Ling set off directly, rushing towards the city gate.
They soon arrived at the city gate.
"Master, isn't this a good spot? Standing here, we can observe the entire city."
"You can see very far even outside the city."
Yao Ling stood on the rooftop, gazing into the distance.
Ning Qi was also standing on the roof.
The rubble clattered underfoot, but it did not collapse.
This shows how sturdy the city gate was back then.
"Yes, I'm setting up several Ruoshui Three Thousand Formations."
"Even if something happens, we can detect it immediately."
Ning Qi nodded, then pointed ahead and said, "Tomorrow, we'll set off from this official road to the Wanxiao Sect."
"it is good."
Yao Ling agreed and then began to observe the situation.
Ning Qi then set up the Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation.
The two of them worked for an hour and finally transformed the place into a safe temporary resting place.
"Alright, you can rest now."
Ning Qi looked at his masterpiece and said with great satisfaction.
After agreeing, Yao Ling found a place to rest and recuperate.
As dusk approached, twilight fell.
However, just as they were taking a leisurely rest, a group of people appeared a dozen miles outside the city gate.
"Master, it seems someone is coming."
The spirit was alert and immediately noticed someone approaching.
So he got up and came over to Ning Qi, and said to him.
"Oh? There are actually people here."
Ning Qi sat up and looked out from the attic.
Sure enough, they saw some people walking towards them.
"She looks familiar. Isn't that Xu Wanrou?"
"It seems that Miss Zhao has already introduced her to us."
Yao Ling looked ahead and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's her, but why isn't she with her brother?"
Ning Qi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Logically speaking, they shouldn't have come to this location. They should be moving in the opposite direction from us."
"It would take at least a month to travel around this inner realm and get here."
"I don't know, maybe they got lost?"
Yao Ling was also very interested and joined in the analysis.
"Ignore it, let's rest."
Ning Qi shook his head and decided to ignore it.
Instead, he directly activated the formation he had set up near the city gate tower.
A curtain of light formed, enveloping the two of them.
To avoid disturbing them when they come over.
His actions were seen by Xu Wanrou and her people below.
There were more than ten people on her side, who were clearly her subordinates.
"Miss, there are actually people in this abandoned city."
One of his men stepped forward and said.
"Oh, having other people around doesn't bother us as we rest here."
Xu Wanrou looked ahead and said nonchalantly, "Xu Qian, let's go and find a safe place. Those monsters will probably come out again after dark."
"Okay, let's go."
After Xu Qian agreed, he immediately set off with them.
The other subordinates behind him followed one after another, all of them showing a wary expression.
Clearly, people who felt uneasy about the fact that there were still people here were uneasy.
Something must have happened to these people.
The group quickly arrived at the city gate.
"Miss, someone has actually set up a defensive formation here."
Xu Qian pointed to the city gate and said in a deep voice.
"I think it's only here at the city gate tower; you can still go in freely through the city gate!"
Xu Wanrou looked at it carefully and said, "Let's go, let's keep to ourselves."
"I'd better say hello and ask about the situation, just in case we go in and get tricked by their people."
Xu Qian looked worried and continued.
"Alright, go and see who they are."
"I don't know if it's Xu Xiaoran and his group, or people from the Zhao family."
Xu Wanrou then offered her analysis.
"I'll go ask and I'll find out."
Xu Qian agreed and then stepped forward, calling out towards the city gate tower: "Brothers upstairs, whose family are you from?"
"The Zhao family."
Ning Qi didn't mince words when he heard someone asking him a question below.
He responded directly.
"The Zhao family? We are from the Xu family. We just happened to be passing by. Please forgive us if we have disturbed you."
Xu Qian replied politely upon hearing this.
"Whatever, I'm just looking for a quiet place to rest."
"You can go in and do whatever you want."
Ning Qi said very readily.
In fact, he had already plundered almost everything from there.
They won't find anything they're looking for.
However, he didn't know what they were there for.
If he knew they were being hunted, he wouldn't have let them get close to him.
"it is good."
"Let's go."
After Xu Qian agreed, he waved to the people behind him.
Then everyone started walking into the city.
Before going in, Xu Wanrou glanced up.
"I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. Is he related to the Zhao family?"
She vaguely remembered Ning Qi, but they had only met once and she didn't remember who he was.
"Whoever he is, he must be a lone person."
"However, when those monsters come in tonight, he'll have to act as our shield."
Xu Qian smiled and continued walking inside.
Xu Wanrou glanced at Ning Qi again before following him inside.
"Master, I feel like something's off about them."
Yao Ling then said in a low voice, "Look at their people, they all look listless, as if something's wrong."
"Well, let them be."
"All we need to do is guard this place."
Ning Qi nodded, then turned to look into the city.
Xu Wanrou and her people have already entered the city.
After finding several houses, a group of people began to set up protective barriers in the courtyards.
At the same time, they also summoned their puppets and set up some puppets here to guard the courtyard they had set up with restrictions.
"Master, what are they doing?" Yao Ling looked at their actions with a puzzled expression.
A pair of eyes were fixed on them.
"It feels like...they're more like they're waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump."
Ning Qi frowned as he looked at the crowd in front of him: "This is usually a hunting tactic, waiting for the prey to take the bait."
"Or rather, it is to confuse the enemy and prevent them from distinguishing between reality and illusion."
"Yes, is it because someone is hunting them down?"
"This shouldn't be directed at us; let's just watch from here."
Yao Ling shrugged, looking puzzled.
"Well, let's ignore it. But I think we need to go to our inner world tonight."
Ning Qi looked at the crowd in front of him and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Let's set up a fake scene here, and then put the memory stones here to see what happens tonight."
"Okay, that's a good idea."
Yao Ling clapped his hands and then began to make arrangements.
He took out a number of memory stones from his storage bag.
Then he found different corners and placed them there. After arranging everything, he also took the opportunity to cover up any lingering traces of his presence.
Ning Qi, on the other hand, had already called Shi Xiaokun out.
After explaining the situation to him, several puppets were placed here as well.
Everything was arranged, and it was completely dark by then.
"Master, shall we go inside?"
Yao Ling glanced at the sky and made a suggestion.
"Okay, let's go."
Ning Qi nodded, and then he and Shi Xiaokun arrived at their inner world.
"If something happens outside, will they notice we're here?"
Yao Ling was a little worried.
"No, this is a newly refined inner realm, not a Sumeru space."
Shi Xiaokun said confidently, "It's impossible for us to be discovered here."
"That's good. Let's see what happens tonight."
Yao Ling was relieved and looked around. "Let's find a place to rest."
"No need to look, I have already created a mountain gate."
"Come with me and take a look!"
Shi Xiaokun said with a smile.
"Oh, you can build a mountain gate all by yourself?"
Ning Qi asked with great interest.
"Yes, everyone, come with me and see what's going on."
Shi Xiaokun nodded, and then set off with Ning Qi and Yao Ling.
Soon, they arrived at this hilltop.
Here, a sizable mountain gate has already appeared.
At the foot of the mountain is a towering stone gate, and stone steps lead all the way to the summit.
There are also caves on the mountainside, which are obviously places for cultivation.
There are also some pavilions halfway up the mountain, which are obviously used by outer disciples.
Further up is the mountaintop, where there are three main halls and some pavilions.
Clearly, this is the core area of the sect.
"This is much better than those mountain gates outside, except there's no one here."
After Yao Ling arrived, she looked around the environment with great curiosity.
"Yes, but we will soon be able to nurture the human race here."
"At that time, as long as we take him under our wing, we can train him."
Shi Xiaokun nodded, and then continued, "This place will become the holy land of this world in the future, and they will come here to cultivate as their goal."
"Hmm, not bad."
Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction: "Come on, activate the memory stone and let's see what's going on outside."
He clearly didn't have much interest in this sect at this moment.
What interests him more is what's happening in the outside world.
He always felt that Xu Wanrou and the others must have something wrong with them.
"Okay, let's do it right here in this square."
Shi Xiaokun nodded, then pointed in a direction and said, "We also have a restrictive formation here."
"Okay, I'll activate it."
Ning Qi nodded, and then summoned the memory stone.
Then it was activated in the square.
"call!"
"..."
A dozen spirit stones worth hundreds of millions were activated simultaneously, with the other half of them located in the outside world.
After Ning Qi was inspired, he established contact with the outside world.
In just a short while, these dozen or so memory stones displayed the surrounding environment.
Any movement within a certain range in the direction that the memory stone is facing can be captured by the memory stone.
"Mine was activated too."
Besides Ning Qi, Yao Ling also activated the memory spirit stones he had set up.
He didn't have as many as Ning Qi, but the two of them together had more than twenty.
That's enough to capture the scene in front of and behind the city gate.
"Look, these people are getting nervous."
Looking at Xu Wanrou and her people, Shi Xiaokun couldn't help but say, "There's definitely something wrong with them."
"Well, in that case, let's see what happens next."
Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile.
"Master, look, there's movement outside the city."
Yao Ling pointed to a memory stone, clapped her hands, and said, "How strange, it looks like a person, but it doesn't quite."
"A monster? It doesn't seem like one either."
Shi Xiaokun also looked on curiously.
"They must be creatures from this inner realm. Let's see what they're up to."
Ning Qi didn't dwell on what these things were; he simply looked intently at these strange creatures.
At first, there were only a few of them, but in the blink of an eye, dozens appeared in the nearby woods.
That wasn't all; after a while, several hundred more appeared.
Their attention was focused on the city gate, and after gathering, they began to rush towards it.
They were all baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, clearly knowing that someone was inside.
"They went to the Xu family."
Yao Ling pointed ahead and said, "It seems they are hiding from these demons."
"Well, anyway, we're safe."
Shi Xiaokun nodded, watching as the monsters he had mentioned rushed to the city gate.
After reaching the city gate, these monsters leaped up the city wall.
The sharp claws embedded themselves directly into the thick boulders of the city wall.
"Such sharp claws, this stone is no ordinary stone."
Ning Qi frowned as he looked at the situation before him: "These demons are indeed powerful."
"Oh no, have we been found out?"
Yao Ling pointed to his memory stone and said.
At that moment, two demons were staring at his memory stone.
You can clearly see their fierce and menacing appearance.
"Impossible. Even if they sensed something was wrong, they wouldn't break in. This is an inner world."
Shi Xiaokun said with great certainty.
"call."
Ning Qi suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the memory stone.
"Tsk tsk, interesting. Yao Ling is right."
"They can communicate with this place; you can even hear their breathing coming in."
He revealed a solemn expression: "Stop activating all your memory stones."
"Yes."
The spirit quickly did as instructed, concealing his spiritual energy.
His memory stones instantly lost their luster and completely returned to tranquility.
In this way, the memory stone returned to calm and ceased to move.
"That's amazing, it can actually make contact with our inner world."
Shi Xiaokun then exclaimed in surprise. (End of Chapter)
