Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 343 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
The four hurriedly chased after the direction in which the golden light disappeared, but as soon as they rose into the air, they could not even see a trace of the golden light.

Half of Maitreya looked surprised and said, "Such a fast escape technique!"

"Judging from the direction, it seems to be heading towards the Eshan Sword Sect."

Dao Yi Sword Immortal said, "This is bad! Senior Brother Yuanzhen has already rushed to Demon Cloud Ridge to monitor the movements of the demonic path together with your sect's Daoist brothers. Emei Sword Sect is vulnerable, and I'm afraid no one can withstand that person!"

Half-Buddha said, "There's no time to lose. Let's hurry to the Emei Sword Sect. At our pace, we can get there in less than half a day. He won't succeed!"

In order to encircle and suppress Zhou Qing, all four Dao Palaces dispatched Nascent Soul cultivators to join the effort, which left the Dao Palaces' internal defenses vulnerable.

Their Daoist heart and demonic path would take advantage of the situation, so all the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators rushed to Demon Cloud Ridge to ensure that the Demon Lord had no chance to leave Demon Cloud Ridge.

As long as the demonic forces cannot act, no other forces will threaten them.

The plan was undeniably perfect, but no one could have predicted that they would fail to capture Zhou Qing.

The four dared not delay and immediately set off in their own chariots.

They dared not relax for a moment, pushing their speed to the limit, hoping to catch up with Zhou Qing ahead. They thought that such a fast escape light could not last long, and once he could no longer maintain his escape light, the four of them would catch up immediately.

However, even as they approached the Eshan Sword Sect, they still did not see Zhou Qing. The Eshan Sword Sect was peaceful and showed no signs of being intruded upon.

All four were greatly surprised and, filled with doubt, pressed the escape light and landed on the summit of Mount Emei.

Sword Sect Leader Jian Yi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor, and all seniors!"

Dao Yi asked, "Were any unusual people present just now?"

Jian Yi said, "No one has come."

Dao Yi asked in confusion, "That's strange. He didn't come to the Emei Sword Sect, so where did he go?"

"Could it be that he knew he couldn't break through the Sword Sect before we arrived, so he gave up?"

Half-Buddha said, "I don't think he's the type to back down easily."

He chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "If he really came to the Sword Sect, it would be fine. But now that he has hidden himself again, it makes people uneasy."

Ziyun said, "Why not ask the Great Arhat to use his supernatural powers again to investigate that person's whereabouts?"

Half-Buddha looked distressed and said, "Brother Da Cong used his future magic to see through that person's whereabouts, but his Dharma Eye was broken, and he will not be able to use the future magic again for a short time."

He found the topic of this to be troublesome.

With Senior Brother Da Cong's level of expertise, it's like reading the lines on someone's palm to glimpse the future in the short term. Unless the other party's realm is too profound, it would be difficult for him to do so.

Although Zhou Qing is powerful, all the information indicates that his own cultivation level has not reached a very high level.

Who would have thought that when Senior Brother Da Cong used the Future Law to track Zhou Qing, he would suffer a backlash, causing his pair of all-seeing Dharma eyes to go blind. This was truly a strange thing.

"If this won't work, and that won't work, are we going to have to return empty-handed?"

Ziyun, with her volatile temper, said angrily.

The other three also felt it was quite a difficult situation.

If we give up now, it would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble.

However, they could not find any clues to continue the search.

What troubled the four of them most was that if Zhou Qing was already hiding nearby and then appeared to attack the Emei Sword Sect after they left, their losses would be too great!
The four pondered for a moment.

Half-Buddha said, "In my opinion, we might as well stay at the Sword Sect for two days and send people to search for that person's whereabouts. If we still have no news, it will not be too late to make further plans."

Ziyun sneered, "Master, you truly have the heart of a bodhisattva. In my opinion, we should immediately head to the Western Continent and capture that man's elders, relatives, and friends. We won't have to worry about him not showing up!" The three pondered for a moment and said, "That is indeed a solution."

Half of Maitreya chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "Forgive me, forgive me."

Ziyun said, “Master, you cannot be so soft-hearted. That person grew up in the Western Continent and became such an evil person. How can his master and relatives be without fault?”

“I think they are rotten to the core, which is why they produce such people.”

“The Western Continent has always been under the control of my Qingxu Dao Palace, so I will personally go to capture it.”

Half-Buddha laughed and said, "My Buddha is compassionate, but he cannot be without the means to subdue demons. How can I be bound by differences?"

“We will go with you, fellow Daoist, to avoid encountering that person, as you alone would find it difficult to capture him.”

Ziyun laughed and said, "Excellent!"

Having made their decision, the four of them decided not to delay any longer.

Dao Yi instructed his disciples to activate the sect's protective formation, and forbade anyone from leaving the sect until the Nascent Soul Ancestors returned. All Nascent Soul True Monarchs were to remain on duty at all times.

With the foundation of the Eshan Sword Sect, once they are on guard, even if several Nascent Soul experts come to attack, they will not be able to break through in a few days. If Zhou Qingzhen dares to attack while they are away, he will definitely not gain any advantage.

If the Sword Sect can hold out for a few more days, they will be able to return to provide support. At that time, with the two sides attacking from both sides, that guy will have no choice but to continue to flee in panic.

After making the arrangements, the four of them immediately flew towards West Antarctica.

The Eshan Sword Sect is located in the southeast of Zhongzhou. To reach Xijizhou, one must almost traverse the entire Zhongzhou.

Even with the incredible speed of several Nascent Soul cultivators, it would still take them several days to escape.

The four flew for a day and were about to pass through the territory of Qingxu Dao Palace when suddenly a sword light rushed from the direction of the palace.

Ziyun recognized that it was Xuanzhenzi, so she quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Xuanzhen, where are you going?"

Ziyun called out.

Xuanzhenzi stopped his sword flash and exclaimed with delight, "Our ancestor has finally returned!"

"Please return to the Dao Palace immediately! Zhou Qing suddenly descended upon the Dao Palace yesterday, killing and injuring countless people. He is currently working on the floating array at Floating Mountain. I'm afraid Floating Mountain won't be able to hold out for long!"

Ziyun exclaimed, "Oh no! We've fallen into his trap!"

That guy lied and said he was going to the Emei Sword Sect, but he actually came to the Qingxu Dao Palace!
Ziyun didn't even have time to greet the three, including Half-Buddha, before fleeing towards Qingxu Palace.

Half-Maitreya and the other two hurriedly followed behind.

In just half a day, the four of them arrived at Qingxu Taoist Palace.

Hundreds of miles away, the four of them witnessed a breathtaking and magnificent sight.

Above the floating mountain, beneath the funnel that gathers spiritual energy from thousands of miles around, several dark divine lights are sweeping towards the floating mountain.

Wherever the divine light swept, all formations and spells were destroyed.

The entire Floating Mountain is supported by an array, which is why it floats in mid-air.

With the formation destroyed, the floating mountain began to sway precariously. Its eastern half drooped downwards, causing the floating mountain, which spanned hundreds of miles, to tilt dramatically. The tilt became increasingly severe, and the pavilions and towers on the floating mountain slid down the slope to the ground one by one. The Qingxu Dao Palace, which had been passed down for countless millennia, was now in a state of utter desolation.
