Chapter 1049: Bai Hang

Elder Xinran Zhanglao was startled for a moment, then could neither laugh nor cry: "If you say that about her and she hears it, she'll probably collapse on the spot."

Qinglong Daoren spread his hands, a nonchalant expression on his face, and said: "Knowing is just knowing; this is a fact, I'm not afraid of her knowing."

"Besides, do you think I'm exaggerating?"

To speak the truth plainly, sometimes the plain truth is the most piercing to the heart.

Elder Xinran Zhanglao glanced at Qinglong Daoren, stopped dwelling on the topic, and turned to Bai Hang inside the Formation, saying: "This woman still has some use; she can help us learn about the surroundings, especially the situation in Tianwai, our location, and what human forces are nearby, and we can further find out what happened to the White Deer King and his group."

"We can also find out how many of the people we sent out are still alive, and in the future we'll know what to do, instead of being like headless flies, not knowing where to go or what to do."

"We can't just stay in the mountain range forever to cultivate, can we? Sooner or later we'll have to go out; knowing ourselves and the enemy leads to victory in every battle. The more we understand Tianwai, the more advantageous it is for us. This woman cannot die yet."

"If we can pry some information from her mouth, that's also good—more valuable than killing her. Would you agree?"

Qinglong Daoren did not deny Elder Xinran's words; the reasoning is sound, but…

"If we let her go and she leaks our situation, what should we do?"

"This place is dangerous; it's best if outsiders don't know about it. The woman clearly entered the Formation to escape a hunt; perhaps her enemy is outside, an opponent she cannot handle, so their strength can't be weak."

"Our situation would become very difficult. Elder Xinran, can you guarantee she won't speak out?"

Elder Xinran Zhanglao hadn't considered this layer; she quickly thought of a solution and turned back, saying: "You can place a restriction within her body to control her life and death; she naturally won't speak recklessly. In our world, didn't you do the same?"

"This woman is clever; she won't choose death."

At this stage, dying would be a huge loss.

If Bai Hang weren't afraid of death, she wouldn't have entered this mountain range.

"How about this: you take her over to handle, okay?"

Qinglong Daoren smiled, looking at Elder Xinran; Elder Xinran shivered, quickly waved her hand: "No, I can't control her life and death. My methods amount to nothing in Tianwai; it still requires you to act. I trust you more."

Setting up Formations and seals, Chen Chuyang is an expert; what he arranges no one can break.

In this world, there aren't many who can break through.

Elder Xinran Zhanglao's own methods are still easily broken; she wouldn't dare take the risk.

Indeed, this place is very dangerous and unique; it must not be exposed, for if it is, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Eh?"

Qinglong Daoren already knew this would happen; the woman indeed wants to cause trouble for him…

However, Elder Xinran's words are not without reason; just by looking at Bai Hang one can tell she's not simple. If they control her, they would naturally control part of this world's situation and could… act more effectively.

Killing her would actually be unsightly.

"Alright, Elder Xinran, you take her up; I'll have a good talk with her."

Qinglong Daoren was resolved; letting Elder Xinran bring Bai Hang up and keeping her in the Formation was of no use.

If one cannot break his Formation, naturally there's little use.

Elder Xinran Zhanglao gave Qinglong Daoren a cold glance; indeed he is his double, just like that person, adept at commanding others.

Yet Elder Xinran said nothing, nor refused, and obediently went down the mountain into the Formation.

Bai Hang saw the woman before her, was startled for a moment, then understood.

She immediately stood, stared at Elder Xinran, drew her sword, intending to act.

Elder Xinran gave her a cold look and warned: "If I were you, you'd better not act."

"You know, once you choose to act, things will become different."

Bai Hang heard this, relaxed her grip on the sword, stared at the woman before her, felt a huge threat emanating from Elder Xinran, and realized this woman was not one she could defeat.

She sheathed her sword, clasped her hands and said: "Holy Maiden of Tian Du Men, I've met a fellow Daoist; do you know this Daoist?"

Elder Xinran said lightly, "Follow me."

Bai Hang was startled, could only follow; she couldn't break the Formation, staying would be doing nothing.

Exiting the Formation, Bai Hang saw Longshe Shan; several peaks were part of Longshe Shan, and on these peaks many spirit trees and spirit herbs were cultivated. Most of the fields had been developed, and the spirit herbs from outside had been transplanted here, quickly proliferating.

The abundant spirit herbs emitted a strong fragrance that dazzled her.

The beautiful peaks resembled a celestial paradise.

Within the Mangshan Mountain Range, such a celestial realm was hidden, truly unexpected.

As she ascended the mountain, she saw a man standing there; his silhouette gave her a very dangerous feeling, as if he were not a mere person but like the heavens and earth.

Bai Hang felt a shock in her heart and exclaimed, "This person is very strong, even stronger than that woman."

"He is the master of this place."

With just one glance, Bai Hang confirmed Qinglong Daoren's identity—the master of these Formations.

Qinglong Daoren lifted his head, gazed at Bai Hang, and upon close inspection, her beauty was indeed striking.

If she hadn't been tormented terribly by the Formation, she'd probably be even more enchanting.

Her cultivation level is also good; such a woman would be a heartthrob outside.

"Holy Maiden of Tian Du Men, Bai Hang, I've met a fellow Daoist; may I ask who this Daoist is?"

Bai Hang bowed, clasped her hands, and asked cautiously: "To carve out such a celestial realm within the Mangshan Mountain Range, one's strength can't be weak; the courage is truly bold."

Even the Tian Du Men dare not enter this mountain range, yet the man before her dares to reside here; it seems he has lived here for some time.

How could Bai Hang not be shocked? In the world of beasts, a human dwelling appeared; it's equivalent to the Tian Du Men harboring beast shadows—if exposed, it would definitely shake the realm.

Qinglong Daoren smiled and said, "Me? I'm just a nameless foot soldier."

"Holy Maiden of Tian Du Men, have you entered my Formation for a year now? Have you attained any insight?"

Bai Hang heard this, her mouth twitched; the remark didn't strike her face but was essentially pointing at her nose and calling her a fool.

She couldn't say she hadn't gained anything, yet she truly hadn't.

To be honest, she would feel very embarrassed.

"Lying, it seems, isn't good either."

I have gained a little, fellow Daoist's Formation reaches heaven and earth; my comprehension is insufficient, I am deeply ashamed, unable to break it.
