"Ah..."

  "Boom!"

  Wu Qing's hand flew out with a sword light, and it chopped down to the ground with a loud crash, creating a large pit several feet deep on the surface!

  "How hateful! How truly hateful!" Wu Qing angrily shouted.

  "Commander Wu, your subordinate is incompetent. Tonight's failure is my fault, please punish me, Commander Wu!" The Zhuge cultivator in charge of the night watch tonight bowed his head and confessed to Wu Qing with a terrified face.

  "It's not your fault!" Wu Qing waved his hand: "I underestimated this cultivator too much! He actually managed to escape from the encirclement of more than a dozen of us!"

  At this time, the on-duty Jigong monk's heart finally relaxed slightly. What's the big deal about a few dead disciples? It's scary to face Wu Qing's anger! Fortunately, tonight that cultivator managed to escape from under Wu Qing's eyelids, and Wu Qing couldn't vent his anger on others!

  "Search for me! All fifty disciples in the Refining Qi stage form a team, light up torches and search carefully for me!" Wu Qing shouted loudly.

  At this time, all the disciples of the Refining Qi period, whether they were on duty tonight or meditating in their own residences, had been startled. Upon hearing Wu Qing's command, they all got up to look for torches and organized a team to start searching.

  "You few, scatter and search carefully for me. On such a dark night, he's afraid of exposing his position and doesn't dare to fly with his sword, so he can't have run far!" Wu Qing turned around and commanded the dozen or so Foundation Building cultivators beside him.

  "Yes! Commander Wu!" A dozen or so foundation-building monks responded in unison and raised their flying swords to begin the search.

  "You old scoundrel! Once I catch you, I'll make sure to ruin your dantian, let the ten thousand insects gnaw at you, and make you unable to live or die!" Wu Qing gritted his teeth in hatred.

  Until now, including Wu Qing, all the cultivators thought that the one who made the move was a Jiedan cultivator. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape the siege and spiritual exploration of so many Jiedan cultivators.

  As for Li Hui's strange disappearance just now, everyone thought that Li Hui had used some kind of special escape technique to get away. No one could have imagined that at this moment, Li Hui was right under Wu Qing's feet!

  Just now, the stone transformed by Yuanchuang's immortal mansion was lying on the edge of the pit where Wu Qing had just used his flying sword to blast out a big hole, mixed with other stones.

  In the Yuanchang Xianfu, Li Hui sensed everything around him through the Xianfu and couldn't help but feel a little pleased with himself. Especially when he saw Wu Qing's furious expression, he was overjoyed.

  Tonight's harvest was not great, only killing a dozen or so demonic cultivators, and only picking up the storage bags and spiritual instruments of the first ten. Later, the demonic foundation-building cultivators arrived, and there was no time to pick up any storage bags.

  But Li Hui thought it was well worth it, being able to make so many foundation-building cultivators lose face was a kind of fun!

  At this time, the Red Python Ridge was in a state of chaos, and every demonic cultivator was in danger. They wanted to catch the hidden cultivator, but they were also afraid that they would be the ones to encounter this demonic cultivator, given their murderous methods. Whether or not they could catch him was uncertain, but the possibility of being killed was quite high.

  With a tangled mood, the low-level demonic cultivators held torches, with every fifty people forming a team to search through the Red Python Ridge. The foundation-building cultivators released their divine sense to sweep over every possible hiding spot.

  The noisy disturbance lasted for half the night, and his dark face grew increasingly unsightly. He knew in his heart that this cultivator had probably escaped long ago.

  This is equivalent to a slap in the face! Nearly twenty foundation-building monks and over a thousand Qi-refining disciples were killed by a cultivator at their headquarters, silently taking out over a dozen people before leaving without being seen, not even catching a glimpse of the opponent's shadow!

  "All disciples return to the base, from now on, the sentry posts will be changed to ten people per team, each team led by a foundation-building monk!" Wu Qing commanded reluctantly. This means acknowledging that the encirclement and annihilation operation has failed!

  He immediately withdrew his sword and flew back to his residence with a flash of blue light.

  In the Yu Huang Xian Fu, Li Hui, who was in charge of the dark and gloomy deployment, had already learned everything. He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, it seemed that he had to escape quickly, otherwise he would be trapped in this fairy mansion for a period of time before finding an opportunity to run out.

  The night was still dark and deep, it was almost time to change shifts. The demon cultivators on duty were also getting sleepy. This night watch was different from meditation practice.

  When meditating, the mind is completely in a state of relaxation. After meditating for an evening, one's mental state is even better than after sleeping for an evening. However, when keeping watch for an evening, these low-level disciples couldn't hold on and started to doze off one by one.

  Those foundation-building cultivators also slowly relaxed their vigilance at this time, thinking in their hearts, "That immortal cultivator is probably already far away by now, it's impossible for him to come back and cause trouble again!"

  Just then, Li Hui's figure suddenly appeared. At this time, the nearest patrol team was less than twenty zhang away from him, and Li Hui carefully walked towards the distant Red Python Ridge.

  Just as he was about to leave the patrol range of the Demon Dao cultivators, Li Hui's figure suddenly accelerated and flew forward like a gust of wind!

  "Huh?" The nearest demonic cultivator who had just reached the foundation stage suddenly turned his head towards the direction where Li Hui had just left: "Just now, there was someone flying by with a whistling wind sound."

  "Boom!"

  Before he could think twice, the building foundation repairman's spiritual instrument shot out like lightning and struck the position where Li Hui was just now, but it still ended up being an empty hit.

  "What's going on?"

  Sword lights flew quickly towards this side, and other foundation-building cultivators also gathered here.

  "I just sensed a gust of wind with my spiritual awareness, it must be that cultivator who brought it!"

  "Go! Take a look!"

  The crowd of Taoist priests surrounded the place again, but did not find any trace of anyone.

  "It seems he's escaped again!" someone said in a huff.

  "It's probably just a rumor." someone comforted themselves.

  After a big fuss, these monks returned to their respective positions.

  At this time, Li Hui had already run out of the range of the Demon Dao cultivators' patrol.

  "It seems that we have to lie low for a few days. These two days, the demonic cultivators will definitely be on high alert and heavily guarded. It's too dangerous to make a move under such circumstances!" Li Hui had already re-entered the Yuanhuo Immortal Mansion at this time.

  Thanks to Qian Huan's Bao Yi isolation and foundation-building cultivator's Ling stone probe, they were able to successfully launch a surprise attack and retreat unscathed.

  ……

  For ten days, Li Hui hid in the Yuankai Xianfu, practicing the "Five Elements Cycle" every day, and spent the rest of his time practicing swordsmanship on the square in front of the main hall.

  He wasn't in a hurry, but this period of time was miserable for the demonic cultivators of Chi Yan Ridge. Every night they were frightened and couldn't rest well. Even Wu Qing himself would use his spiritual sense to scan the entire camp every now and then, feeling uneasy in his heart.

  One day, two days, three days... seven days, eight days... ten days, that elusive cultivator never appeared again. All the demonic cultivators finally let out a sigh of relief: "That killing god must have left already!"

  Everyone felt a weight lifted off their shoulders. This period of time had been turned upside down by this cultivator, and they couldn't live in peace. Finally, they could have a few more days of peaceful life again.

  Li Hui in Yuankuang Xianfu was also counting days with his fingers.

  "It's been ten days, those demonic cultivators should have forgotten about me by now, it's time for me to go out and move around again!"
