Now that the formation was broken, the three of them walked out and discovered that it was only a very shallow cave. If they really hid inside and didn't come out, they would've been discovered long ago, and they wouldn't be able to escape even if they grew wings.
Miwu Valley was indeed worthy of its name. As soon as they came out of the cave, even with their eyesight as cultivators, they could only see things within a few dozen feet. The vast white fog hid everything in front of them. They could only hear shouts and fighting noises coming from the white fog from time to time.
Seeing this situation, Mo Tiange took out her Green-Wood Sword and prepared to fight at any time.
Liu Yidao frowned. "This … We can only try our luck?"
Mo Tiange said, "The fog is so thick, so it might not be a bad thing for us.
If we only have three people, I'm afraid we'll be cleared out very soon. In this situation, if we have fewer people, we'll fight. If we have more people, we'll hide and take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. "
"Correct." Qin Xi nodded. "It'll be easier if we have fewer people in the fog."
Having made up their minds, the three of them wandered around.
Sure enough, from time to time, they came across fights of magical power. If they met other Yunwu Sect disciples, they would lend a hand. If they met Jindao School or Zixia Sect disciples, they would fight if they had fewer people. If they had more people, they would hide in the fog and use talismans to communicate, then they would scatter and meet up again.
If they ran into a fight between two other groups, they would sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight. At a critical moment, they would attack and fish in troubled waters.
In the boundless white fog, seven or eight Jindao School disciples met ten or so Zixia Sect disciples. As soon as they saw each other, they started fighting.
Although Jindao School disciples had fewer people, their cultivation levels were relatively high. Both sides fought back and forth with equal strength.
Just when they were both injured and the winner was about to be decided, all of a sudden, densely packed Fire Thorns grew all around them and surrounded them. Then, big Bewitching Flowers floated in along with all kinds of magic talismans. Very soon, they, who were already injured and exhausted of their spiritual qi, were cleared out by these magic talismans one by one, and their tokens fell to the ground.
The Fire Thorns retreated, and three Yunwu Sect cultivators appeared. The leader, a tall and strong man, collected all the identity tablets on the ground. The three of them then left without stopping, disappearing into the fog.
At the end of the first day, when night fell, Mo Tiange and the other two returned to the location of the formation. Mo Tiange set up another Bewildering Formation. The three of them hid inside and rested while dividing the loot.
Throughout the day, they didn't kill many people head-on, but they did steal quite a lot from the muddy waters. After counting, there were actually more than a hundred command tokens.
Liu Yidao was both startled and delighted. "We've really made a profit this time. There are more than a hundred identity tablets here. If we divide them, each of us will get about forty identity tablets. Each identity tablet is worth ten spirit stones, so each of us will get several hundred spirit stones as a reward."
Mo Tiange calculated in her mind.
Yunwu Sect had a total of three to four hundred Aura Refining disciples who were in the seventh layer or above. Jindao School had slightly fewer disciples, but Zixia Sect definitely had more than five hundred disciples. In other words, Yunwu Sect probably had about eight hundred identity tablets from other sects.
Of course, in fact, Zixia Sect was a bit stronger. Assuming Yunwu Sect had a fifty-fifty chance of winning against them, including Jindao School, the number of identity tablets they could snatch would only amount to about four hundred. Moreover, more than half of Jindao School's identity tablets would be snatched by Zixia Sect, so the total number of identity tablets they could snatch would be about three hundred.
Right now, they had more than a hundred identity tablets in their hands. Even if they divided them into three portions, it wouldn't be a problem for them to rank among the top ten sects.
Qin Xi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was adjusting his breath. Upon hearing Liu Yidao's words, he said faintly without even opening his eyes, "Today, there were the most chaotic battles. The weaker ones were all eliminated. I'm afraid we won't have such an advantage tomorrow. We better not take chances."
Mo Tiange and Liu Yidao became a bit more clear-headed after being splashed with cold water.
Liu Yidao looked ashamed. He immediately asked, "Junior Martial Brothers, how should we divide these identity tablets?"
Qin Xi opened his eyes. He pondered for a moment then said, "It's all thanks to Junior Martial Brother Ye's special spell that we were able to conveniently take advantage of the situation. Let's give him a bit more."
Mo Tiange was dumbfounded. "This … How can I accept this?"
Even so, it was Liu Yidao who took the risk to scout out the enemy's situation. In addition, Qin Xi's exquisite spell made those people think they had a lot of people, so they didn't have the heart to resist.
Liu Yidao was also open-minded. He admitted that although his cultivation technique was solid, he didn't have any special skills and wasn't as scheming as them, so he didn't argue too much. He said with a smile, "That being the case, Junior Martial Brother Ye will each get fifty identity tablets, and Junior Martial Brother Qin and I will each get forty-one. What do you think?"
Qin Xi nodded. He didn't have any objections.
Since they agreed on this, Mo Tiange no longer refused. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although the path to immortality was difficult and cultivators couldn't be considered too noble, not everyone was unscrupulous and only had benefits in their eyes.
For example, the people she met — Liu Yidao was straightforward, Xu Jingzhi was concerned, and Qin Xi, although cold, was also attentive.
She was always on guard against others because of the lessons she learned in her childhood, but now, with Ye Xiaotian's identity, she believed they were trustworthy.
After putting the fifty-three identity tablets into her Qiankun Bag, she also sat down to adjust her breath.
Qin Xi had finished adjusting his breath, so he stood guard.
In fact, it wouldn't have mattered even if no one stood guard. Mo Tiange was confident in formations. This maze was the result of her and Second Uncle's painstaking efforts. Once an Aura Refining disciple entered the formation, it wouldn't be a problem for them to be trapped for several hours.
However, this was Miwu Valley after all, so it was better to be careful.
All of a sudden, a sound came from inside the formation. It seemed like someone had entered the formation.
Mo Tiange opened her eyes and looked at them. Each of them took out their spirit tools or talismans.
The footsteps were heavy, staggering, and messy. Apparently, there wasn't just one person.
"Senior Martial Sister Shen, how are you?" It was a woman's voice. It was crisp, hoarse, and full of anxiety.
Mo Tiange frowned slightly. This voice … was somewhat familiar.
After a while, she heard the voice again. "I'm fine. I can still hold on. Junior Martial Sister Wang, how about your injuries?"
"I'm fine, but my spiritual aura is almost exhausted."
The two of them were silent for a while before they heard Junior Martial Sister Wang say, "I don't know what this place is. There's unexpectedly no fog, so I don't know if it's safe or not."
Senior Martial Sister Shen said, "It might be the location of an Immortal's Cave left behind by our predecessors. It's just that we don't know if we've found it or not. We'd better look around."
Mo Tiange drew her sword. Now that she had determined their position, she slowly entered the formation.
Once she reached that position, she cautiously turned around a corner. All of a sudden, she was met with a spell and several pieces of wood were thrown at her.
She dodged to the side and was about to brandish her Green-Wood Sword when she heard that person's surprised voice.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye? Is that Junior Martial Brother Ye?"
Mo Tiange was stunned. The two disheveled women in front of her seemed familiar when she looked at them carefully.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye, I … I'm Wang Qianyi!"
Mo Tiange was gobsmacked. "Senior Martial Sister Wang!" Wasn't this the Senior Martial Sister Wang she met every day when she was collecting Heavenly Dew?
She looked at the other woman. Although her hair was messy, it still couldn't hide her beauty. She looked very familiar.
Mo Tiange hesitated, but she vaguely recognized her. "This is … Senior Martial Sister Shen Bing?"
