When they finally arrived at this place, they found that it was a canyon that was waiting for them.
There wasn’t anything special about this canyon, but there was a path that led deep into the canyon waiting for them. The way that there weren’t any guards and how it was just laid there, it was as if it was there to lure them in…
Still, there was nothing else here and they would need to enter the canyon to find where the X led them…so they had to go into the canyon.
The canyon itself wasn’t that big and they could easily see the tops of the cliffs around them. It was just too bad that there wasn’t anything that was actually on them.
As they came closer and closer to where the X on the map was, everyone couldn’t help knitting their brows.
That was because they could feel that there was something here that was messing with their spiritual senses. They had been releasing their spiritual senses to scout the area, but there seemed to be something that was like a wall that was stopping their spiritual senses.
It wasn’t stopping it in all directions, just in front of them.
So they were certain that there was something in the canyon in front of them.
When they finally reached the wall that stopped their spiritual senses, they found that it was where the canyon started opening up.
In front of them, there was an open space that had plants growing all over it. It almost seemed like a hidden garden with how it was placed inside of this canyon.
But at the same time, their attention was attracted by something else.
There were a few other groups that were currently standing in the middle of this canyon.
As soon as Lin Fan saw them, he immediately used his illusion spell to hide himself before any of them saw him.
When these people heard the sound of them coming towards them, they immediately turned to look at them.
Once they saw who it was, everyone couldn’t help taking a few steps away from them.
As for who the people currently in the valley were, it was the various groups that had tried working together before. They had escaped after Bi Qing had destroyed that array and released the control over the spirit beasts.
They had lost a few members, but there were still plenty of cultivators that were here.
There were also a few other groups that hadn’t been with them when they destroyed the array in the clearing.
It seemed that there were more people that had survived than they had expected.
After a long moment of silence, Lei Feng was the one that came forward to ask, “Miss Bi, what are you doing here? How did you find this place?”
Bi Qing looked at him before completely ignoring the question that he had asked her.
Lei Feng would have been angry at being ignored like this, but he knew that he couldn’t get angry right now. That was because he was thinking about relying on Bi Qing’s power at this moment.
Since Bi Qing didn’t answer, Lei Feng said, “Miss Bi, did you encounter that sparrow spirit beast?”
When Bi Qing heard this, she couldn’t help knitting her brows and turning back to look at Lei Feng.
When Lei Feng saw this, he knew that he had hit the nail on the head. At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief since this meant that it was possible for him to negotiate a truce with Bi Qing.
After all, it had been the sparrow that had led them all here.
Bi Qing narrowed her eyes to look at Lei Feng and seeing that he didn’t show a single trace of telling a lie, she said, “Where did you see this sparrow and what did it tell you?”
Lei Feng was surprised to be asked a question by Bi Qing, but he didn’t hold anything back as he told the truth of how they were brought here. He even showed her the talisman that they had received.
This was the exact same talisman as the one that Bi Qing’s group had received.
After seeing this, Bi Qing looked at the others.
When the others saw Bi Qing looking at them, they couldn’t help taking a step or two steps back. But seeing that there was no hostility in Bi Qing’s eyes and just actual curiosity, all of these groups took out the talisman that they had received to show her the same map.
Seeing these maps, Bi Qing couldn’t help knitting her brows even more.
She would have turned to look at Lin Fan, but she knew that he was hiding. So instead, she just looked at him out of the corner of her eyes which Lin Fan still saw.
Lin Fan didn’t know what to say either since he had come to the same conclusion as Bi Qing.
Both of them had thought that the voice had given them the map and had brought them here because of Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao.
Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao knew that this person who controlled this Minor Realm was connected to their Love Sect, so there was a reason for bringing them here.
Bi Qing only knew that this person was connected to Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao in a certain way, she didn’t know what it was.
But that was enough for her to understand that this was most likely the reason why they had received the map.
However, the fact that everyone was here disproved this theory.
So both of them were very confused as to what was happening here.
At the same time though…Bi Qing couldn’t help thinking that this was more and more likely a trap.
As she was thinking, she gave a few hand signals to the cloaked figures that were with her. They immediately understood what was happening and started spreading out a bit.
With the way that they were moving, it was almost as if they were securing a path out of this place.
But before they could do anything else, before Bi Qing could ask the others any more questions…there was a voice that rang in her ears.
This was a voice that she was familiar with since she had heard it not long ago and it had left a deep impression on her. This was the voice that she had heard from the talisman on the back of the sparrow spirit beast.
“Don’t interfere and just watch the show. Once it is over, we can talk.”
Bi Qing looked around herself as if she was trying to find the source of this voice, but she couldn’t find a single thing.
At the same time, she noticed that no one else seemed to react from this voice. It was almost as if no one else had been able to hear it.
In fact, Lei Feng was still saying something that she wasn’t even paying attention to.
She also looked at Lin Fan out of the corner of her eyes, but even though he was cloaked, she could tell that he wasn’t reacting at all. He also hadn’t heard this voice that she had heard.
So Bi Qing turned to Lei Feng again and asked, “Did you hear something just now?”
Lei Feng was caught off guard at being interrupted like this, but he shook his head in the end and said, “I didn’t hear anything.”
Bi Qing ignored him after that and looked at the rest.
When they saw her looking at them like this, they all figured out what she wanted from them.
In response to this, they also shook their heads.
Bi Qing couldn’t help knitting her brows even more after seeing this.
But in the end, she didn’t have time to think about it more as there was a voice that suddenly rang out, “It seems that everyone has gathered here.” This was the same voice that she had heard before that no one else had heard.
However, this time, everyone turned to look up when they heard this.
In the sky above them, there was a sparrow spirit beast that had a talisman on its back.
Seeing this, everyone immediately raised their guards as they waited to see what this talisman wanted.
But for Bi Qing, she couldn’t help looking at this sparrow with a strange look.
After a long silence, the talisman still didn’t say anything. It was almost as if it was waiting for something.
At the same time, Bi Qing almost felt like it was looking at her. Well, not exactly looking at her since the talisman didn’t have eyes in the first place.
Though it felt like there was something that was paying attention to her.
Sensing this, Bi Qing just continued to look at the talisman for a bit before suddenly moving to the wall of the canyon. As she moved to the side, she silently gave a hand signal to the cloaked figures that came with her.
Seeing this, the cloaked figures were surprised, but they hid it from everyone else. They just silently followed her to the side before looking up at the sparrow spirit beast in the sky.
Lin Fan also was confused, but he followed Bi Qing’s group to the side as well.
During this time though, his attention was fully on the sparrow spirit beast.
Finally, after Bi Qing reached the wall, the voice spoke again.
“It’s time for us to end this. I hope that you are all ready.”
