… …
The Five Sect Tournament was held in the secret realm of the Heartless Sea, and the people from the five great sects lived in the small town of Shangri-La …
However, although Evil Sect, who had ambitions for the secret realm in the wild, could not appear openly, they were already hiding near Shangri-La … As for where they were hiding, the people from the five great sects did not seem to have any clue, but Qin Fang knew.
The small town of Shangri-La was surrounded by a vast, uninhabited wasteland. It was not a place suitable for humans to live in.
However, the experts from Evil Sect were already prepared for this, so it did not affect them much.
Basically, experts who had reached the level of Grandmaster and above could already control their own bodies … They could effectively control the ingestion of food and water.
If it was said that an ordinary person could only live for seven to ten days without food and water, then these experts of the Master level and above could live for half a month to a month … For those experts who cultivated the Tortoise Breathing Technique, living for half a year was not a problem.
Of course, Evil Sect was about to wage a great war against the five great sects, so it was impossible for them to waste their bodies like this. Naturally, it was impossible for them to not eat or drink … That was why they had been making preparations since a long time ago.
In fact … they had even arrived earlier than the people from the five great sects.
As for where they were hiding, Qin Fang already knew about it … It was in the Heartless Sea!
Originally, Qin Fang did not want to get involved in the matter between Evil Sect and the five great sects. Firstly, he might have joined Kunlun Sect physically, but his heart had not, and there was still quite a distance between them. Secondly, he was too weak to get involved in this matter, so it was better for him to keep a low profile and preserve his life.
However … he had already tried his best to avoid this matter, but the people from Evil Sect refused to let him go.
First, it was Chu Yuan from the Yinyang Demon Sect who had dared to attack Ning Yumo and Cai Qing … This could be considered to have touched Qin Fang's reverse scale, so he killed Chu Yuan.
After that, he returned to Shangri-La with Jian Qingfeng and the others, but Evil Sect had actually sent five great elites to intercept and kill them … and one of them was even the Evil Emperor's personal disciple. This caused Qin Fang to be rather furious, so the five brothers worked together and killed all five Evil Sect elites who were clearly stronger than them in one go!
After that, it was time … Shi Songyang, the Evil Emperor's third disciple, Sky Evil Sect's Elder, and a quasi-Supreme expert, had actually sent Azure Wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu, who was a half-Supreme expert, to capture him. If Qin Fang did not have a way to deal with him, he really would have fallen into Evil Sect.
Once such a thing happened, it was imaginable how Qin Fang would deal with it …
Qin Fang had always wanted to keep a low profile and mingle among the great sects until his strength reached a level where he could protect himself. However, Evil Sect's actions this time and time again had deeply infuriated Qin Fang!
Revenge!
Kill all of Evil Sect's experts!
Clearly, with Qin Fang's current strength, it was impossible for him to do so …
He definitely could not do it alone, but he had the experts of the five great sects as his backing … He had already found out about the current situation of the five great sects from Old Taoist Qing Xu. The experts who were ready to fight were more or less ready, but they still could not find the whereabouts of Evil Sect's experts.
Since they could not find them, they naturally could not take the initiative to attack. They could only passively wait for Evil Sect's people to jump out on their own …
This was rather passive, and the losses they would suffer in the future would be rather great. However, even if the five great sects did not want to do this, there was nothing they could do … unless they could grasp Evil Sect's foothold.
It was said that Ye Xiang had already found the traitor hiding in Beyond the Heavens Sect. Unfortunately, he had yet to obtain any substantial information, so he would not be of much use for the time being.
Since the five great sects could not find Evil Sect's people and could not take the initiative to attack, then Qin Fang … would help them!
Qin Fang's trip this time was to head to the Heartless Sea to investigate the situation of Evil Sect's experts …
The reason why the five great sects could not find Evil Sect's people was mainly because they were all focused on the martial path. Their attainments in the Dao of Formations were far from enough … Anyone who knew a little about Formations could tell that the Great Protective Mountain Formation in the Heartless Sea's secret realm had been tampered with by someone, and it changed almost every day.
This meant that Evil Sect's people were causing trouble …
Qin Fang had reason to believe that most of Evil Sect's experts were hiding in the Great Protective Mountain Formation, which was why the five great sects could not even find their shadows … However, Evil Sect's people knew the five great sects' movements like the back of their hands.
Qin Fang's group of five had left the main group and left the Heartless Sea. Evil Sect's people had discovered them and immediately sent five experts to hunt them down …
After Qin Fang left the main group with Icy Cold and left the Heartless Sea, Evil Sect's people had sent the Azure Wing Bat King, Wei Chunqiu, to capture them … This indirectly proved where Evil Sect's people were hiding.
The reason why Qin Fang had brought the Azure Wing Bat King, Wei Chunqiu, was not really to protect him … At the very least, before Wei Chunqiu truly stepped into the Supreme Realm, he was still a little lacking. Evil Sect's Supreme Realm experts were not few.
The reason why Qin Fang had brought him along was actually to use him to lure the enemy …
As long as the old bat attracted the attention of those Evil Sect experts, Qin Fang would not be so conspicuous … At that time, it would be very convenient for him to move around!
Although the old bat's strength was not enough to protect Qin Fang, with his movement technique, he could easily escape even if a group of Supreme Realm experts were to chase after him … Even if Evil Emperor Shi Wanxie personally made a move, he would still be able to survive!
After all, the title of the world's number one movement technique expert was not for nothing!
Since the old bat could not die and could also help attract the firepower, how could Qin Fang not use such a good target?
Didn't you see that Qin Fang had already given away a Spirit Vulture Pill and many spirit stones in exchange for Spirit Wine for this old bat's life?
He had even cheated Qin Fang of such a great price, so he could not possibly not do anything …
Thus, the old bat, Wei Chunqiu, had no choice but to follow Qin Fang in the direction of the Heartless Sea … However, compared to how openly they went during the day, this time, the two of them were sneaking around.
The old bat's movement technique was too monstrous. If he was used as a scout, he would definitely be one of the best in the world … Even if Qin Fang had a small map with a radius of one hundred meters, he still could not compare to the old bat's speed!
Thus, Qin Fang and the old bat, Wei Chunqiu, quickly arrived at the Heartless Sea …
Compared to the Heartless Sea during the day, it was even more sinister and dangerous at night … During the day, the people from the Evil Sect were all in hiding, so they would not give themselves away or reveal any flaws. However, at night, the Evil Sect actually sent experts to act as spies and hide around the Heartless Sea.
Moreover, Qin Fang tragically discovered that these spies were not cannon fodder sent to their deaths. They were all Great Grandmaster experts, and there were even a few peak Great Grandmaster experts … It was already difficult for Qin Fang to deal with one of these experts, let alone a group of them.
However, with the help of the old bat Wei Chunqiu, Qin Fang easily avoided the enemy's hidden posts and quietly arrived at the mountain-protecting formation of the Heartless Sea … It could be seen that there were great benefits to having the old bat with him.
"As expected, a lot of changes have been made …"
Under the Mountain-guarding Formation, the old bat, Wei Chunqiu, became alert. Qin Fang, on the other hand, began to study the Mountain-guarding Formation.
Qin Fang was a Thousand Arts Great Grandmaster as well as a Formation Great Grandmaster … Now, in terms of the level of Thousand Arts and Formation, there were not many people who could surpass Qin Fang. Even among the Thousand Gates and Five Great Families on Devil Island, there were not many people who could surpass Qin Fang.
At the very least, Song Qianqiu, the 'Grandmaster of Thousand Arts' who had once reached the level of a grandmaster in Qimen Dunjia, could no longer compare to Qin Fang in terms of Formations …
If even this Thousand Arts Freak could not compare to him, then just how many experts in Formations in the world could reach the level of a Great Grandmaster …?
It was undeniable that Evil Sect had invited an extremely powerful Formations expert who could actually change the protective formation of the Heartless Sea. His skill might not have caught up to Qin Fang, but he was at least at the level of a Grandmaster. He was probably not much weaker than Song Qianqiu.
This person was either an expert from one of the five great clans or a peak figure from one of the branches of Thousand Arts …
As far as the Mountain Protection Formation of the Heartless Sea was concerned, it was not a particularly top-level formation, but it was not too weak either … If one wanted to change such a formation, one must first be able to crack the formation at this level.
The Formations expert invited by Evil Sect had clearly been able to do this, which was enough to show just how skilled he was in the Dao of Formations!
Unfortunately, Qin Fang's skill level was even higher than his …
The Formation might have been changed and was completely different from before, but Qin Fang had still been able to easily find the crux of the matter and silently sneak into the Formation … and the other party had not noticed him at all.
Even Wei Chunqiu's eyes shone with an intimidating light when he saw Qin Fang easily sneak into the protective formation of the Heartless Sea. It was clear that he had not expected this at all.
After all, the Dao of Formations was an extremely obscure field of study …
The people of the pugilistic world mainly focused on practicing martial arts, so they spent most of their time and energy on this …
But what surprised Wei Chunqiu was that Qin Fang was only twenty years old, and his achievements in martial arts were already rather shocking … He had already reached the peak of the Great Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, and his battle prowess was even comparable to a late stage Great Grandmaster.
This was already an extremely monstrous feat, and now, Qin Fang was even playing with Formations …
