Chapter 228

He Pingsheng was definitely not reconciled.

He took Qiao Huizhu and the other one, flew on their swords, and probed the border line between the Qi State and the Liang State several times.

But it was all to no avail.

They couldn't get through at all.

Just as those people said, even if they could kill those patrolling disciples and break through, very quickly, the Golden Core Stage great power stationed here would come to pursue them.

The speed of a Golden Core cultivator was incomparable, and they couldn't escape at all.

He Pingsheng didn't dare to gamble, and couldn't gamble either.

Because once pursued by a Golden Core cultivator, the possibility of escaping was slim to none.

"What to do?"

Qiao Huizhu had a face full of worry.

He Pingsheng said: "Let's find a place to hide first!"

"Go..."

The two flew on their swords and returned to the Mount Li side.

In the deep valley below the highest peak, there was a pretty good cave.

For this month or so, Qiao Huizhu had spent her time in this cave.

After arriving at the cave, He Pingsheng casually set up several formations.

A second-tier defensive formation, a second-tier spirit-forbidding formation, a second-tier early-warning formation, and also a second-tier illusion formation.

In this way, even if Foundation Establishment Stage disciples patrolled this place, it would be impossible to discover this cave dwelling.

Even, under a hurried scan by the spiritual sense of those Golden Core Stage cultivators, they might not necessarily be able to discover it.

"Senior Sister, you wait for me here, I'll go out to scout for news, I'll be back soon!" He Pingsheng rested a little, then had to go out again.

Qiao Huizhu said: "You've been rushing around these days, let me go out instead!"

"No!" He Pingsheng waved his hand and said: "Your Disguise Talisman is not safe; if you encounter that Golden Core Stage cultivator, you will definitely be seen through!"

"I'll go!"

Qiao Huizhu's Disguise Talisman was second-tier.

This level of Disguise Talisman could dodge the spiritual sense of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, but if she encountered a Golden Core Stage cultivator, it would be mysterious.

If the other party didn't look carefully, perhaps they wouldn't be able to tell.

But once they scanned with their full spiritual sense, it would inevitably be exposed without a trace.

He Pingsheng was different.

What he was wearing was the Jinlan Treasure Robe, which was a top-tier ancient treasure with twenty layers of restrictions; this thing, let alone Golden Core Stage cultivators, even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators couldn't see through it.

"Don't worry!" He Pingsheng patted Qiao Huizhu's shoulder: "Wait for me, I'll be back by dark!"

Walking out of the cave, He Pingsheng flew directly into the sky on his sword and headed northeast.

He remembered that on the map, there was a mark; not far from the northeast corner of Mount Li, there was a city that was not big or small; perhaps because this city was the westernmost one of the Great Qi State, its name was: Extreme West City.

He Pingsheng flew on his sword for two hours, then landed at the west gate of this city, and then entered the city directly.

The small city was not big, east, west, south, north, each was about thirty li.

However, the spiritual energy in the city was quite rich; at a glance, one knew that there was likely a spirit vein in this city.

A city of thirty li in size, saying it was small was not small, but in such a big place, the spiritual sense of a peak Golden Core Stage cultivator was enough to cover it all.

These few days, the city was exceptionally lively.

He Pingsheng found a spirit tea house and sat down, ordered a cup of top-grade spirit tea, and while slowly sipping the tea, listened to the people around discussing heatedly.

The people here were mostly discussing Mount Shenjiang and the border blockade.

"If you ask me, it's likely that a wanted criminal escaped from that heavenly prison!"

"Otherwise, the imperial family couldn't have spent so much effort to block the entire Shangdang Commandery!"

"I don't know what kind of background this wanted criminal has!"

"Damn it!"

"It caused me to be unable to go to the Liang State!"

A Foundation Establishment Stage third layer, fat-headed and big-eared bald man, while drinking spirit tea in big gulps, complained.

"Who says it isn't, a post every three li, an inspection every five li!"

"This time, they likely mobilized the entire imperial army, right?"

"I don't know what kind of killing god ran out of that heavenly prison!"

Someone echoed.

However, very quickly, someone sneered and said: "Fart heavenly prison, fart wanted criminal..."

"Let me tell you!"

"It's not some heavenly prison, nor is it some wanted criminal; it's that someone obtained a great opportunity in that Mount Shenjiang!"

A cultivator wearing a scarlet Daoist robe looked at the crowd, a proud smile hanging on his face: "Do you know Mount Shenjiang?"

"Tch..." everyone said: "Who doesn't know this?"

"Exactly, the famous Mount Shenjiang, it's a pity I couldn't get in!"

"By the way, this brother, just now you said someone obtained a huge opportunity in that Mount Shenjiang, what exactly was the opportunity?"

"Could it be that someone obtained a Spear Intent Crystal?"

"Spear Intent Crystal?" that cultivator in the scarlet Daoist robe said: "Let me tell you, it will scare you, it's not a Spear Intent Crystal, this kid took away the black divine spear on that Mount Shenjiang!"

"What?"

"Holy crap!"

"No way!"

"Hiss hiss hiss, my god!"

"No wonder!"

In the spirit tea house, everyone was shocked.

Seeing the shocked appearance of the crowd, that cultivator in the scarlet Daoist robe was instantly satisfied and said: "Hehehe... is this news shocking enough?"

Someone asked: "This fellow Daoist, do you know who took the divine spear?"

That person said: "I don't know either, I heard it's a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from Dingxiang Commandery, called something like Shi Yuan!"

The bald man said: "Then this person has a great opportunity!"

"Hehe..." the scarlet Daoist-robed cultivator said: "Great opportunity? I'm afraid it's a disaster, right?"

"Now the entire Shangdang Commandery is surrounded, and that Shangdang City is also blocked!"

"I heard that the Great Qi State imperial family mobilized the entire country's army, from the outside in, shrinking the encirclement step by step!"

"They are prepared to spend half a year to hunt all the cultivators together!"

"Then screen them one by one!"

"At that time, when the Nascent Soul cultivator scans with spiritual sense, everything will have nowhere to hide!"

"He's afraid he won't be able to escape!"

Everyone nodded one after another.

He Pingsheng sat on the side without saying a word, looking calm, but in his heart, worries had already arisen.

If the Great Qi imperial family was just simply blocking the border between the Qi State and the Liang State, that would be fine.

He could completely circle around the north of Shangdang Commandery and then enter the Liang State.

But now, according to the discussion of the cultivators here, the entire Shangdang Commandery had been surrounded by the Qi State army.

Trouble!

The key was that this encirclement was still slowly shrinking toward the middle.

Sweeping across the entire Shangdang Commandery like a comb, one could imagine that at that time, there would be no place in the entire Shangdang Commandery that could be spared.

Even the cave where Qiao Huizhu was hiding would absolutely not be spared.

In ten days at the least, half a month at the most, it would inevitably be discovered.

What to do?

He Pingsheng drank the spirit tea in his cup dry, then walked slowly out of the spirit tea house.

Just at this time, suddenly a powerful spiritual sense descended from the sky and landed on He Pingsheng's body.
