Chapter Thirty-Four: Escape!

"What do you mean?"

Tuoba Tao was momentarily stunned by these words. He had no idea how he had become entangled with the Heavenly Dao.

Iron Uncle paused to ponder briefly and said,

"According to ancient records, during the peak of the Sacred Profound Continent, the human race flourished. At that time, the Heavenly Dao favored them; the holy sons and daughters of various factions possessed extraordinary fortune, their opportunities were profound, and treasures could be found simply by stepping outside..."

"Our Xuanqing Palace has received the blessing of an ancient immortal exiled by the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps we have drawn the attention of the Heavenly Dao..."

"Disciples within the sect may, by virtue of this favor, gain fortune upon themselves, and upon venturing out, encounter rare demon beasts..."

Tuoba Tao blinked instinctively, his heart stirring with excitement.

He had never imagined that one day, he too would be favored by the Heavenly Dao, and that opportunities would fall into his lap as soon as he stepped outside.

"Iron Uncle, since we are blessed by the Heavenly Dao, shouldn't we proceed to capture the Crimson-Scaled Demon Wolves?"

Tuoba Tao spoke up.

"Yes. Elder Pei will lead the team to capture this pack of Crimson-Scaled Demon Wolves," Iron Uncle replied, taking out a sound transmission talisman to contact Pei You.

Within the current Xuanqing Palace, Ye Qingyu was a Cultivation Master at the Golden Core stage. The other Foundation Establishment cultivators included Saintess Shangguan Yun, Iron Uncle, Pei You, and Xiang Yunqian.

The pack of Crimson-Scaled Demon Wolves was of utmost importance.

Therefore, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was needed to lead the expedition.

...

In the wilderness, Tuoba Tao led the way, guiding Pei You and a group of sect disciples toward the lair of the Crimson-Scaled Demon Wolves.

"Up ahead lies the territory of the Crimson-Scaled Demon Wolves. Everyone, be vigilant," Tuoba Tao said slowly.

"Form the array!"

As they neared the pack's lair, Pei You produced an array disk and, together with several disciples, began to set up a barrier on the spot.

The formation laid by the cultivators of Xuanqing Palace was the Illusory Spirit Array, a mid-grade second-tier array.

Once completed, it required a Foundation Establishment array master to oversee it personally, assisted by more than ten Qi Refining cultivators stationed at the array's core. The formation would then produce dense mist, which would transform into ropes and entangle the targets.

At the same time, the mist would obscure the targets' vision.

The main purpose of this was, naturally, to disperse the demon wolves before them, preventing them from congregating and making them harder to deal with.
