Chapter 226

He Pingsheng sat down on the square, acting perfectly normal!

Then, his gaze swept across the square a few times.

He saw the white-templed cultivator Long Yuan, and he also saw Jiang Lan, who had already recovered his original appearance.

However, He Pingsheng was now wearing the Jinlan Treasure Robe outside his body, and he had changed his appearance and gender, so even Jiang Lan did not recognize him.

On this vast square, over a thousand people were already seated.

He Pingsheng remembered that when he arrived, just from the Dingxiang Commandery alone, over four thousand people had come.

And in total, the number of people from the entire Qi State who had entered this Mount Shenjiang was at least eight thousand, so most of the cultivators were still inside Mount Shenjiang and had not come out yet.

After all, this Mystic Realm would not close for another four days; since they could search for treasures inside for a while longer, why not do so?

He Pingsheng's gaze swept across the square and then looked toward the surroundings.

Along the perimeter of the square, at intervals of about five zhang, there was a guard from the Great Qi imperial family standing watch.

The cultivation bases of these guards were not low either; each and every one of them had actually reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Under normal circumstances, no one should even think about breaking out.

He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly: he just didn't know if he could walk out after using that Invisibility Talisman.

There was no rush for now.

Because there were still too few people on the square.

The situation was not yet complex enough.

Only when the place was crowded and eyes were everywhere would it be the best time to escape.

He Pingsheng just waited slowly like that.

Unknowingly, two more days passed.

More people walked out from the Mystic Realm of Mount Shenjiang, and the number of people on the square surged from over a thousand to over four thousand.

It was bustling and seething with noise.

Even quite a few cultivators took out their own items and set up stalls right there on the spot.

A small-scale market formed in an instant.

Regarding this kind of behavior, Long Yuan and the Great Qi imperial family did not pay much attention to it.

After all, with so many soldiers guarding the outside, it was impossible for anyone to get out; as long as they didn't leave, there was nothing to fear on this square.

Do whatever you want.

Long Yuan was waiting.

He would wait until the Mystic Realm closed, and then he would screen them one by one.

He believed that using this method, it was absolutely impossible for any fish to slip through the net.

"What is this thing?"

"I haven't seen it before!"

"I haven't seen it either!"

In front of a cultivator's stall, dozens of people were discussing and pointing.

Very quickly, the items here attracted the attention of others.

He Pingsheng did not crowd over, but instead took the opportunity to step back two paces to the edge of the crowd, and at the same time, his spiritual sense also stretched out.

He saw that there was a golden bead on the stall, and on the bead, there was an indistinct, drifting aura, and from time to time, some mysterious and unfathomable black talisman patterns flickered.

At a glance, this thing clearly had an extraordinary origin.

Even that white-templed cultivator Long Yuan was attracted over.

This was the moment.

He Pingsheng secretly took out the 【Invisibility Talisman】 from his storage bag and quietly stuck it on his body.

Just when everyone else had their attention focused on that treasure, He Pingsheng's figure suddenly hid itself.

It disappeared without a trace.

Although his figure had disappeared, He Pingsheng could not use any magic power.

Once magic power was used, fluctuations would come from this Invisibility Talisman, and at that point, the effect of the invisibility would vanish completely.

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, slowly took his steps, and walked toward the steps leading down the mountain.

He was wearing the top-tier magic treasure Golden-Pattern Cloud-Stepping Boots on his feet, so the sound of his walking was exceptionally light.

If one didn't listen carefully, one couldn't hear it at all.

Added to the fact that He Pingsheng deliberately slowed his pace, lifting and landing his feet lightly, even when he reached the entrance to the steps down the mountain, no one had discovered any clues.

However, going further forward was a bit of a challenge.

Ahead was the entrance to the path down the mountain.

The steps at the entrance were five zhang wide.

And on both sides of these steps, there stood a Foundation Establishment Stage guard.

The guards were wearing golden armor that dazzled the eyes.

He Pingsheng slowly took a breath, then began to calm his mind and spirit, and for the period that followed, he stopped breathing.

Step by step, he moved forward lightly.

He tried his best not to let himself make any sound.

But this was only in theory.

In reality, it was impossible to have absolutely no sound.

When He Pingsheng landed between these two Foundation Establishment Stage guards, he made some extremely faint sounds.

"Hmm?"

One of the guards turned his head, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?" the other guard asked.

"Nothing?" that guard said, "I just feel like I heard some sound!"

The guard on the left asked, "What sound?"

The guard on the right said, "I can't say clearly either, I just feel like there's someone around!"

Boom...

The spiritual senses of the two of them swept out simultaneously.

But it didn't matter.

After He Pingsheng became invisible, let alone mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, even the spiritual sense of a Nascent Soul Stage great power could not scan any trace of him.

"Perhaps... it was the sound of the wind!"

The soldier on the right shook his head.

He Pingsheng took advantage of the time they were talking to lightly walk forward a few more steps.

The further away he got, the smaller the sound became.

One step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

After a dozen or so breaths, He Pingsheng had already descended dozens of steps and was getting further and further away from the two guards at the entrance of the square above.

He still didn't dare to let out a big breath, but regardless, he could be considered to have walked out of the encirclement of the imperial guards.

Next, he still couldn't be careless.

Because the spiritual sense of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could scan a very long distance, easily fifty thousand zhang.

So within fifty thousand zhang, he definitely could not reveal his figure.

Then he had to keep walking.

How far is fifty thousand zhang?

About three hundred li!

It was just that outrageous.

Three hundred li was no joke.

Having just walked out of the encirclement, He Pingsheng was still cautious; he slowly lifted his feet and slowly set them down.

He walked forward step by step.

Just like this, walking cautiously for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he finally walked beyond a hundred zhang from those cultivators.

At this time, He Pingsheng finally dared to speed up his pace a little.

Another hour passed before he walked a distance of a thousand zhang.

A distance of a thousand zhang seemed not far, but in reality, it was already six or seven li away.

At this time, He Pingsheng didn't have so many misgivings; although he was still walking forward lightly and didn't dare to make too much sound when landing, his speed was much faster.

Thus, a full day and night passed.

Only then could He Pingsheng be considered to have walked out of the scanning range of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator's spiritual sense.

Once out, He Pingsheng immediately used his magic power to change his appearance again, and then flew away directly on his sword.

Now, there was only one day left until the closing of Mount Shenjiang.

Within this one day, he had to find Qiao Huizhu.

Otherwise, after one day, when Mount Shenjiang closed, if that white-templed cultivator couldn't find the person he was looking for, who knew what kind of trouble he would stir up.

Whoosh...

He Pingsheng flew up on his sword, first flying north for an hour, then circling around, and flew toward the place in the west called 【Mount Li】.

Walking out of the haze, he suddenly felt the world was vast.
