The group slowly made their way over to the path that was available to them.𝔬𝚟𝓵xt.𝒸𝔬𝓂
When they arrived, they saw that there wasn’t anything that was standing in their way. This path was completely cleared and it led all the way up to the center of the area of concentrated spiritual energy.
With how shady it was, the only thing that was missing was a sign that said “trap here”…
But even if it was shady, even if it was most likely a trap, it wasn’t as if they had another choice.
They were trapped here without being able to do anything else, so they had no choice but to take this trap.
Especially since Bi Qing was the one that was leading the way.
As Bi Qing made her way forward, everyone couldn’t help taking a few steps back away from her. They were all clearly planning on letting her take the brunt of the trap and then either using her as a scapegoat or bait to escape with, depending on the situation.
Bi Qing naturally knew all of this, but she led the way without a single bit of hesitation since there was something that she knew that they didn’t.
As they came closer and closer to the center, the people following behind her couldn’t help becoming more and more anxious.
They weren’t able to find a single thing, which meant that there was the chance that they were already completely surrounded. If that was the case, then it was very likely that they would all be killed here.
So they couldn’t help taking a few more steps back so that Bi Qing was well in the lead ahead of them.
Finally, they were able to reach the center and they were confused when they arrived.
They found that there wasn’t a single thing here other than a clearing.
In this clearing, there was only grass and nothing else. There wasn’t a single thing that seemed like it would be gathering all of this spiritual energy here.
However, the moment that they arrived at this clearing, they knew that this was the right place.
After all, the amount of spiritual energy in the air was comparable to some of the training areas in their sects. Unless there was something special that was used to gather all of this spiritual energy, it was impossible to have this kind of spiritual energy in a place like this.
So they knew that there had to be something here.
After making sure that there was nothing around, the groups started spreading out to look across the clearing. But no matter how they tried to search the area, they weren’t able to find a single thing.
As for Bi Qing…she was just standing there in the center of the clearing, looking forward with somewhat lost eyes.
It was as if she was looking at something, but also not looking at anything at the same time.
To her side, Lin Fan scanned the area with his Appraisal Eyes.
He had been with her as they headed towards this clearing, using his Appraisal Eyes the entire time. It was tiring, but he knew that the moment that he let his guard down, they would all be killed.
So he had been carefully looking for anything that could be considered useful with his Appraisal Eyes.
It was just too bad that he wasn’t able to find a single thing.
He was able to find plenty of herbs with his Appraisal Eyes, almost to the point where he was completely blinded by the popups that appeared. If he hadn’t been able to figure out how to ignore certain items with his Appraisal Eyes, he might really have been blinded by all these screens.
But even then, he still wasn’t able to find a thing.
Now that they were in the clearing in the center of this zone of concentrated spiritual energy, he knew that there should be something here.
After a long period of silence, Bi Qing finally said, “I see, that’s interesting. So it was like this.”
Everyone immediately turned to look at Bi Qing the moment that she said this.
Even though they had been searching the area, not a single person had turned their attention away from Bi Qing.
They watched as she suddenly moved forward.
She walked up to the center of the clearing and then turned in a certain direction.
There was one of the groups who were currently standing in that direction, so when Bi Qing turned to look right at them, they couldn’t help being caught off guard. They raised their guard as they looked at her, waiting to see what she was planning on doing.
Then when she suddenly started moving towards them, they couldn’t help taking a step back.
Finally, when she was almost right up against them, the young master of this group said, “What are you doing?”
Bi Qing completely ignored this young master and continued forward until suddenly stopping.
She was only a few steps away from this group and they were completely on guard against her.
But in the end, Bi Qing just ignored them as she reached her hand out towards thin air. Then as if she had touched something, her hand stopped moving forward.
She moved her hand around a bit before saying, “Interesting, very interesting.”
Everyone couldn’t help looking at what she was touching and they found…that there was actually something there.
It was only where her hand was, but they could see that there was something that seemed like a metal pole that was there.
The other groups couldn’t help moving closer to see what this thing was, but before they could get close, Bi Qing suddenly waved her hand.
As soon as she waved her hand, it was as if something had been dispelled and the things hiding there were revealed.
As they had expected, it was indeed a metal pole.
However, it wasn’t just a single metal pole that appeared.
It was four different metal poles that appeared out of nowhere that were evenly spaced out across this clearing. There were metal poles that appeared near some of the other groups which caught them off guard.
They had been this close to the metal poles, but they had never been able to see it.
Just what kind of special ability was used that was able to hide such a large pole in plain sight?
Lin Fan was also caught off guard since he hadn’t been able to catch a glimpse of these metal poles.
Normally when he used his Appraisal Eyes, he would at least be able to see a glimpse of the array used to hide these poles if he focused enough. However, he hadn’t been able to find a trace of these arrays.
This just went to show just how powerful the arrays used to hide these metal poles were.
It seemed like that person had encountered quite a few things after leaving the Love Sect…
But he didn’t allow himself to be distracted as he focused his Appraisal Eyes on the metal pole.
As soon as he saw the popup from the Appraisal Eyes, he couldn’t help being shocked by the contents. At the same time, he took Mu Bao Bao’s hand and started moving away from the metal pole.
After seeing the description from the Appraisal Eyes, he had an idea of what Bi Qing was planning to do…
It would be better to move away from the metal poles as much as possible.
After a long moment of silence, Lei Feng took the lead for everyone and asked Bi Qing, “Miss Bi, what is this?”
Even though she heard Lei Feng asking her this question, she completely ignored him as she stood there in front of the metal pole. She just stared at it as if she was completely focused on the pole.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Lei Feng didn’t back down as he jumped over to where Bi Qing was.
He moved to stand in front of Bi Qing so that she would be forced to look at him instead of the metal pole, but Bi Qing suddenly turned to look at another one of the metal poles.
Lei Feng’s face turned a bit dark when he saw that he was being disdained by Bi Qing like this, but he took a deep breath to calm himself down before moving to stand in front of her again.
It was just too bad that Bi Qing turned once more and ignored him.
Seeing this, Lei Feng couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Miss Bi, if you don’t tell us what is going on, we will be leaving.”
That was the only thing that he could use as a threat.
Bi Qing was cooperating with them, so that meant that to a certain extent, she needed them.
However, he had a bad feeling about what she was doing right now and he felt like he would be in danger if it kept going.
Since that was the case, he would threaten to leave.
Even if it meant not achieving the goal that they wanted, at the very least, they would be able to keep their lives.
As he had expected, it finally attracted Bi Qing’s attention, but it wasn’t in the way that he wanted.
Bi Qing looked at Lei Feng for a bit before suddenly revealing a smile.
Lei Feng couldn’t help being unsettled when he saw this smile.
Bi Qing didn’t give Lei Feng a chance to say anything as she suddenly said, “Try to survive this.”
Then without giving anyone a chance to react, she suddenly punched the metal pole that was in front of her.
