Chapter 723 Deploying Formations to Lure the Enemy!

After finishing his sentence, Shi Hao became absorbed in his thoughts and sent a message in the chat group.

[Shi Hao: @Han Li @Luo Feng @Lin Dong @Qian Renxue, brothers, I have a big deal coming up. Come to the ancient temple in the city center as soon as possible.]

The moment the message was sent, the group chat exploded.

[Lin Dong: Big deal? What big deal? Is it even more interesting than the way we shop?]

[Shi Hao: Someone is going to send us precious medicines, magical artifacts, and elixirs. If you're late, you won't be able to get any.]

Luo Feng: Understood... We'll be there soon.

[Han Li: I'll be right there, but Brother Shi Hao, what do you mean by "send"?]

[Shi Hao: It means exactly what it says. They come to us, and we accept them. We'll discuss the details when they arrive. By the way, Brother Han, you absolutely must come. There are some dilapidated formations and restrictions here that you might need to repair.]

[Han Li: Alright, I'll set off immediately!]

[Lin Dong: Hahaha, I love this kind of thing! Third Brother, stop dawdling and let's go!]

[Qian Renxue: We'll be there soon.]

[Shi Hao: Okay, I'll wait for you in the ancient hall...]

After Shi Hao finished speaking, he left the chat group.

Qin Hao, Luo Dao, and Lan Yichen looked at him, wondering what he was doing.

"Brother, what's wrong with you just now? Why did you suddenly space out for a while?"

Qin Hao asked curiously.

Shi Hao explained with a smile, "I just used a secret telepathic technique to notify my brothers. They'll be here soon, and then we'll set up a plan together..."

Luo Dao and Lan Yichen exchanged a glance, secretly surprised.

They knew that Shi Hao had several companions, each of whom was quite strong.

If those people were to attack together, let alone the ordinary cultivators in Bright City, even those ancient freaks might not fare well.

Not long after, a whooshing sound came from outside the ancient hall.

Several figures flew across the street and landed steadily in front of the palace gate.

It was Han Li, Luo Feng, Lin Dong, and Qian Renxue.

"Brother Shi Hao!"

Lin Dong was the first to rush in, looking the ancient hall up and down: "This is the good place you were talking about? It doesn't look like much."

Han Li, however, had already noticed the shimmering runes inside the hall. His eyes lit up, and he picked up where Lin Dong left off, saying, "These are... ancient restrictions? What an ingenious layout! I never imagined that someone in this world could use such methods to set up such a grand formation!"

Luo Feng walked up to Shi Hao and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shi Hao, what's going on? Can you tell us?"

"Of course, here's the thing..."

Shi Hao briefly explained the whole situation and his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Haha, that's great... It looks like there'll definitely be a fight later!"

"A fight is inevitable, after all, this Eight Treasures Qilin is a rare and precious medicine, and no one can resist its temptation..."

Shi Hao smiled and nodded, then turned to Han Li and asked, "Brother Han, how is it? Can you repair these formations and restrictions?"

As Han Li observed the array formations and restrictions, he murmured thoughtfully, "These restrictions are indeed ingenious, but to achieve 'entry is not an exit,' several key points need to be adjusted. I can give it a try, but whether I can succeed is another matter..."

Shi Hao nodded and said, "It's alright, just do your best. I'll leave the array and restrictions here to Brother Han."

"I will certainly do my utmost..."

After accepting Shi Hao's request, Han Li immediately took out several array flags from his storage bag and began to busy himself in the ancient hall.

He moved with extreme care, repeatedly confirming the position of each flag he planted.

Luo Dao and Lan Yichen were also helping out. They were quite familiar with these restrictions and could provide Han Li with some information.

While repairing the array's restrictions, Han Li also used a sound transmission spell to release several sound transmission birds.

These birds were formed from his spiritual energy and flew at great speed, allowing him to traverse the city in search of Qingyi, Fengwu, Cao Yusheng, Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Honghuang, and others.

While using bait to catch big fish can yield considerable success, it is also extremely dangerous.

Han Li felt he should call everyone he could.

After all, there's strength in numbers, and if a fight breaks out later, it will be easier for him to escape!

……

at the same time.

Another direction within the city.

The members of the Patching Heaven Sect were hiding in a small alley, their faces ashen and their eyes filled with resentment.

"Senior brother, that Huang killed our people from the Heaven-Mending Sect, are we just going to let this go?"

A female cultivator asked, unwilling to give up.

Their Heaven-Mending Sect is also a prestigious sect in the Upper Realm.

In the past, other cultivators in the Three Thousand Continents would treat them with utmost respect.

When have I ever suffered such humiliation?

They watched helplessly as their fellow disciples were killed, yet they couldn't utter a sound.

This is so frustrating.

"Let it go? Hmph~, how could I possibly let it go?"

The leader sneered and said, "That Shi Hao killed our people and stole our things. If I don't avenge this, I will be unworthy of being a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Sect!"

"But senior brother, we are no match for him. Fighting him head-on will only lead to our deaths."

“If a direct confrontation doesn’t work, we’ll use someone else to do the dirty work. Just think about it, there’s a sacred medicine in that ancient temple. If that news gets out, what will happen to the cultivators in Bright City?”

"They'll try to steal it. When there are too many of them, even if Shi Hao is incredibly powerful, he won't be able to stop them!"

"Yes, if we can't have it, they shouldn't take it away peacefully either. By muddying the waters, we might even have a chance to fish in troubled waters."

After discussing the matter, the group dispersed and began spreading the news throughout the city.

Before long, news about the Eight Treasures Qilin spread like wildfire throughout the city, appearing in the discussions of many cultivators.

"Have you heard? There's a sacred herb in the ancient temple in the city center, the Eight Treasures Qilin!"

"Really? Who discovered it?"

"I heard that the people of the Heaven-Mending Sect witnessed it with their own eyes..."

Is this information accurate?

"It's absolutely true. It's said that the sacred medicine was placed on the stone platform in the ancient hall, emitting a seven-colored light."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Hurry up, there's only one sacred herb left, first come, first served..."

"Walk!!!"

In an instant, the cultivators in the city flocked to the city center.

Some were after the holy medicine, some were there to watch the spectacle, and some were simply trying to take advantage of the chaos.

The streets were teeming with people, and various streaks of light intertwined, like a grand gathering.

However, not everyone believed what those disciples of the Heaven-Mending Sect said.

Some cautious monks did not rush to set off.

Because they found the whole thing rather strange.

The Eight Treasures Qilin is a legendary sacred medicine.

How could the Patching Heaven Sect have leaked the news?

Why don't they go and rob it themselves?
