Chapter 246: Working Together

細地看了一下，發現毒素竟然隱藏在表麵，隻要觸碰到都會中毒！“這老東西，我會讓他看看什麼纔是最厲害毒，竟然在我麵前玩這套！”沈翔決定，就用這王老頭來實驗一下醉神散。“哈哈……你已經發現了吧，你中毒了，你今天必死無疑！”王老頭大笑道。“你什麼時候下的毒？這應該是封元毒！”龍慧姍臉色十分難看，如果不中毒的話，她早就斬殺這王老頭了。“在你們接過我給的丹時，你們就中毒了！放心，我很快就送你去見那小子的，那小...Chapter 246 - Unity

Scenery Xiang chose a small mountain and began to explain his plan to everyone. The idea was simple, they were going to excavate some caves inside the mountain and then hide within them. They would wait for time to pass, ensuring their safety by digging a tunnel that led out of the mountain. If they were ever under attack, they could escape through this tunnel.

"Let's set up a large formation. If we encounter any powerful enemies, activate the formation to create delays so everyone can escape through the tunnel," Scenery Xiang suggested.

Most of those present had received help from Scenery Xiang before, hence they did not object and were very supportive of his idea.

"Alright, let's begin. We will divide tasks and responsibilities. Those with fourth-stage martial arts abilities or above are to patrol to prevent any surprise attacks. Fairy Yin and Yulan, you two can set up the formation while others excavate the tunnel. Female disciples are not required to dig, but instead help in setting up the large formation," Scenery Xiang instructed.

Zhu Rong remarked, "Scenery Young Brother, you can't slack off. You'll have to dig alongside us too."

Yun Xiao dao nodded in agreement, saying, "Right! Scenery Big Brother, please be fair!"

True martial arts cultivators from the fourth and fifth stages were to protect them, making it easier for them to dig without worry. Hence, they did not oppose this arrangement.

Scenery Xiang grinned and said, "Since I'm already at the fifth stage of True Martial Arts, there's no need for me to dig!"

This revelation caught everyone by surprise. They had always believed Scenery Xiang was at the second or third stage of True Martial Arts, relying solely on his powerful sword and mysterious martial arts techniques for his strength. Now that he claimed to be at the fifth stage, did that mean his strength was as formidable as those in sixth and seventh stages

"Is this true or false" Zhu Rong was skeptical, knowing Scenery Xiang could fake being at the fifth stage of True Martial Arts by using his third-stage strength.

Yun Xiao dao and the rest were also unconvinced. Fairy Xueshi and Fairy Yin Yulan had always trusted Scenery Xiang, but his sudden revelation left them struggling to accept it.

"Have you heard of Wanhongdao He was killed by me just now in the forest," Scenery Xiang chuckled.

Wanhongdao was a notorious young figure from the magic sect, known for his destructive reputation. Despite being at the fifth stage of True Martial Arts, he was capable of killing someone at the sixth stage.

"I killed him with just one strike. Would you like to see it" Scenery Xiang grinned.

His single strike had taken Wanhongdao's life, causing everyone to gasp in shock. They had initially heard loud noises coming from the forest, knowing it was Scenery Xiang who caused them. Now they had no choice but to believe him.

Knowing Scenery Xiang's accurate strength, everyone felt much more at ease. Additionally, there were several alchemists present who could quickly restore their injuries.

"Brother, aren't you going to find the Beast Martial School and Proud Sword Sect" Fairy Yin Yulan asked.

Scenery Xiang chuckled, "There's no need to look for them. That group is already dead at my hands. To save them, I fought with a powerful beast demon and suffered severe injuries in the end. However, that bunch of people sought to take my magical sword for their own gain and ended up killing me. Luckily, I had some strength left."

"Young Brother Xiao Xiang, are you okay" Fairy Xueshi hurried over, pressing Scenery Xiang's wrist to examine his injuries.

"I'm fine. It was because of that, I've entered the fifth stage of True Martial Arts," Scenery Xiang teased as he pinched her cheeks.

Yun Xiao dao snorted, "That bunch deserves to die. After we leave here, tell the sect master and have them destroy the Beast Martial School and Proud Sword Sect."

The disciples from other sects were in shock as they recalled that, before their arrival, Dong Chen Gu had warned them about the consequences if they harmed Scenery Xiang. Once they left, there would be bloodshed and chaos as revenge was sought. Dong Chen Gu had already severed the sect master of Beast Martial School, making it easy to destroy them again. Furthermore, the Proud Sword Sect had often clashed with many other sects and recently conspired with the magic sect, trying to seize the crystal veins of Taiwu School. This had left them hated by Taiwu School.

In the mountain, they excavated a relatively large stone chamber and many small ones. The mountain was made of hard black stones, making excavation difficult. However, when under attack, they could withstand for a longer time due to their durability.

The escape tunnel led out to a distant forest, which they decided after much discussion. The forest was across from the vanished canyon, and its trees were large with sturdy ground made of hard stones. It could provide some defense against mass attacks, thanks to the dense trees inside.

Out of 40 people, only seven were women. The number with fourth-stage martial arts abilities or higher was thirteen, which was rather high, so they only needed 20 people to dig tunnels. Even the stony ground seemed like a small task for True Martial Arts cultivators, as they used their profound qi and spirits to create the necessary techniques.

Fairy Yin Yulan and Fairy Xueshi led five women to set up the formation, as only women could handle such meticulous work better.

Scenery Xiang occasionally watched them set up the formation. As they were doing rather laborious tasks, like carving intricate patterns on hard stone walls or ground surfaces. They needed to do it precisely without any mistakes, and Fairy Xueshi and Fairy Yin Yulan used cold energy to create marks for the women to follow.

"Qianqian, your fire is so powerful. It's effortless to solve problems and finish quickly," Fairy Xueshi marveled, noticing Wanhongdao's easily eliminated with just a finger on the hard ground as if she was carving on ordinary mud. Although Wanhongdao's jade finger didn't have fire, the heat could be felt by everyone.

"Heh heh, I just have better fire skills! Unlike Fairy Xueshi, who not only knows how to set up formations but also possesses such strength," Wanhongdao said with a smile.

Fairy Yin Yulan added, "Qianqian's fire isn't simple. I can use fire too, but I can't do it like you!" She infused the fire into a spirit weapon-grade knife and carefully carved patterns onto the ground.

Other women did similarly, using spirits and true qi.

"Are you just following those marks" Scenery Xiang asked as he walked over.

"Yes, we need more time to ensure the accuracy of the markings on both sides of the mountain and around it," Fairy Xueshi replied.

"I'm not someone who's good at doing such meticulous work, but the valley owner insisted I take it," Fairy Yin Yulan grumbled. Her expression suggested her desire to brandish her large sword and fiercely slash the ground.

Scenery Xiang smiled, "Yulan, you can go and dig the tunnels first. I'll handle the rest here."

"You're doing it alone" A female asked, referring to Scenery Xiang's previously saved disciple from the Beast Martial School named You Yan Die.

Scenery Xiang nodded, and when he waved his hand, several small flames accurately landed on the marks. Fairy Xueshi and Fairy Yin Yulan took half a day to prepare markings for carving patterns, which were covered with ice and easy to identify.

Scenery Xiang's spiritual sense moved, making the small flames sink into the ground and begin to move, burning the surface like melting ice. They created patterns quickly and effortlessly without much time, leaving everyone in awe and admiration.

After the heat from the small flames dissipated, Scenery Xiang released them again and continued.aid that he would go to the gods nation before, and this matter was related to him. Those god nations who held control of Supreme God Hall already knew that he was in Supreme God Hall.Shen Xiang didn’...
