After Bi Qing helped Lin Fan change his illusion spell, all of the spirit beasts stopped in their tracks.
They looked all around themselves, but they weren’t able to find what they were looking for in the end.
Lin Fan couldn’t help looking at Bi Qing with a shocked and confused look as he started wondering just who she was that she was able to do something like this. However, Bi Qing was still focused on the spirit beasts that were gathered around them.
She watched and waited until they all turned around to attack the various groups that were around them.
Then she let go of Lin Fan’s hand and moved back over to the metal pole.
Even when she let go of Lin Fan’s hand, the spirit beasts didn’t notice her since they were focused on the various groups that were around.
But when it came to the vision of the spirit beasts, these people were like giant light bulbs with how bright the powder around them glowed. It was hard for them to ignore them when they were this bright.
Bi Qing was able to move right up to the metal pole and she raised both her hands again to…punch it with the same punch.
As soon as the two petite fists made contact with the metal pole, the same shockwave rang out again. This shockwave was just as strong as the one from before and it caught many of the spirit beasts off guard again.
Then as soon as they recovered, they immediately turned to look at Bi Qing once more.
However, Bi Qing was already prepared this time and she immediately jumped over to Lin Fan right after the shockwave ended.
When she landed beside him, she didn’t waste any time to grab his hand and cast the same illusion spell.
Then as she disappeared, the spirit beasts all stopped once again.
This time, the spirit beasts didn’t give up as fast as before as they tried searching for Bi Qing in the surrounding area. But no matter how hard they tried, they weren’t able to find her at all.
At the same time, Bi Qing pulled Lin Fan’s hand and moved out of the spot that they had just been in.
She pulled Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao over to another spot that was near the metal pole, that was different from the spot that they had been in before.
During this time, the spirit beasts had no choice but to give up since they couldn’t find a single trace of Bi Qing no matter how hard they tried.
And once again, they turned their attention back to the various groups who had moved back a bit further during the shockwave that Bi Qing had created.
While being dragged by Bi Qing, Lin Fan had taken a closer look at the metal pole and he realized what was happening here. As he looked closely at it, he had noticed that there were cracks that had started forming on the metal pole.
They were only tiny cracks that had formed on the surface of the metal pole, but Lin Fan realized now that what Bi Qing had been doing actually had an effect on the metal pole. When he saw that there wasn’t even a dent on the pole, he thought that it was all useless.
But now that there were these cracks, he knew that it wasn’t meaningless.
There was a way to break this metal pole now and there was meaning in what Bi Qing was doing.
So Lin Fan decided to work with her in breaking this metal pole because he also wanted to see what would happen if it broke. After all, he knew what this metal pole was for.
Once the spirit beasts were far away, Bi Qing let go of Lin Fan’s hand again and jumped out at the metal pole.
As she did this, Lin Fan started moving on his own.

He didn’t move far away from the metal pole, but moved away from the location that he had been in before.
He knew that if they stayed in the same place and Bi Qing kept disappearing from the same place, it would only be a matter of time before someone picked up on how they were disappearing.
So he would need to cooperate with Bi Qing and move while she was attacking so that there was no delay in letting Bi Qing disappear.
Bi Qing noticed this out of the corner of her eyes and she couldn’t help revealing a faint smile. At the same time, there was a trace of appreciation that appeared in her eyes.
That was because for this to work, Lin Fan had to figure out the changes that she had made to his illusion spell. Otherwise, the spirit beasts would still be able to see him move when he wasn’t holding Bi Qing’s hand and they would be able to figure out what was happening.
This was a very difficult thing to do and if it wasn’t for his Magic Manipulation (Max) skill, he really wouldn’t have been able to do it.
It was all because the Magic Manipulation Skill was at max level that he was able to sense what Bi Qing had done. That was what allowed him to take his illusion spell to the next level.
After all, Bi Qing hadn’t added any extra spiritual energy since she was only in the Peak Qi Condensation Realm.
The only thing that she had done was change the structure of Lin Fan’s illusion spell to incorporate traces of an illusion array. This caused the illusion spell to become a mix of magic and cultivation, allowing it to hide the user from anyone unless they had a special ability.
Bi Qing’s fists slammed into the metal pole again and this time, there was a clear bend that appeared on the pole. At the same time, the cracks were also becoming much more visible, making it clear that it was getting close to breaking.
Finally, after beating it again and again, the metal pole creaked and fell down, snapping in half.
As soon as the metal pole snapped, Bi Qing stopped moving and started observing the spirit beasts. She did that as she moved back and forth to attack the metal pole, but it was different this time.
But to her disappointment, she saw that the spirit beasts were still acting the same way.
So she turned her attention to the other three metal poles.
After looking at them for a bit, she gave a determined nod and dragged Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao over to the next metal pole. Then she let go of his hand and started attacking this second metal pole as well.
Since the various groups had been slowly moving back with each shockwave that Bi Qing created, there was now quite a bit of space between them and the center of the clearing.
So Bi Qing was able to get two punches in each time she attacked the metal pole.
Being able to get two attacks in each time, it didn’t take long before this metal pole cracked just like the first one and snapped in half like before.
By the end of it though, Bi Qing was breathing hard.
She hadn’t been this way when she snapped the first pole, but the second pole as well seemed like it had taken quite a bit out of her.
It was just a good thing that she didn’t have to snap a third pole.
After the second pole was snapped, all of the spirit beasts suddenly stopped moving.
This time, it was clear that something had happened to them.
This would have been the perfect time for the various groups to run away, but they were too cautious and they didn’t dare move when the spirit beasts were frozen like this. They were afraid that sudden movements would provoke them and cause them to attack them.
But the spirit beasts still attacked them in the end.
After a moment of being dazed, the spirit beasts suddenly started acting irrationally.
There were many different reactions that came out of the spirit beasts after the two poles cracked.
There were some that looked around in confusion, there were some that angrily attacked the various groups that were spread out, and there were some that started running off without a single care.
It was as if they had been freed from something and now they were just doing what they did naturally.
When the various groups saw the spirit beasts attacking them, they all revealed ugly expressions. There were also quite a few hostile glares at the center of the clearing, but since they couldn’t see Bi Qing, they weren’t able to glare at her.
But this time, there were things that were different about the attacks of the spirit beasts.
First, they didn’t attack as fiercely as before.
The spirit beasts no longer used their abilities without care and fought more cautiously. At the same time, after fighting for a bit, they slowly started becoming tired.
The various groups found that they were able to slowly push back the spirit beasts as they no longer overwhelmed them with unending attacks. They were actually even able to slay a few of the spirit beasts.
Second, there were some spirit beasts that started attacking the cloaked figure that was Bi Qing’s follower.
These spirit beasts no longer ignored this cloaked figure like they had done before and were going all out to attack them. It was just too bad that they were completely outclassed by this cloaked figure, so they were easily disposed of by that cloaked figure.
