Chapter 49 Fellow disciples, don't panic!
An hour later, after Ye Xiaobai and Li Xinyan had both recovered to their peak condition, they headed together towards the nearby gathering place of the White Tiger Sect disciples.
"Junior Brother Ye, I didn't expect your alchemy skills to improve so rapidly after entering Lingdan Peak! You can even refine high-grade Qi-restoring pills." Li Xinyan said in great surprise after taking the Qi-restoring pill given to her by Ye Xiaobai.
"Thanks to Senior Sister Xiao from Lingdan Peak for her patient guidance," Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Who is Senior Sister Xiao?" Li Xinyan asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"..."
Ye Xiaobai was instantly at a loss, not knowing how to explain.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaobai quickly brought Li Xinyan back to the gathering place of the White Tiger Sect disciples.
When Tang Chao and the other White Tiger Sect disciples saw that Ye Xiaobai had safely returned with Li Xinyan not long after, they were all greatly shocked.
"Junior Brother Ye, was the journey smooth?" Tang Chao asked warmly.
"Everything went smoothly, and we brought Senior Sister Li back."
"Isn't Junior Brother Zhao Deren with Li Xinyan?" Tang Chao asked, his face full of doubt.
Ye Xiaobai had naturally prepared his explanation, and said with a similarly puzzled expression, "Zhao Deren and Senior Sister Li were separated by the people from the Qingyun Sect. When I arrived, I only saw the people from the Qingyun Sect fighting with Senior Sister Li. I didn't see Zhao Deren. Didn't he come back?"
“Yes, Zhao Deren and I were separated by the Qingyun Sect. I was only able to return safely thanks to Junior Brother Ye’s timely rescue!” Li Xinyan echoed.
"So that's how it is." Tang Chao confirmed the general situation but didn't delve into it further.
Next, Ye Xiaobai discussed with Tang Chao and the others how to plan their time. Now that there are many people, there is strength, and there may be more opportunities.
"Senior Brother Tang, what are your plans for the future? You're not going to stay here forever, are you?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Of course not. The main reason we're grouping together is to avoid large groups from the Qingyun Sect. That way, we have a relatively safe chance to find some opportunities in secret realms."
"How can we bypass this?"
"I've already sent Liu Cheng, the fastest among us, to check the surrounding area. He'll come back and give you a tour later."
"Okay!"
Just then, a clear, youthful voice rang out: "Senior Brother Tang, I'm back!"
"We were just talking about you, and here you are! Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Junior Brother Ye Xiaobai from Lingdan Peak!" Tang Chao hurriedly introduced Ye Xiaobai to Liu Cheng.
"This is Liu Cheng, a disciple of Elder Zhou Wenlei of Lingyun Peak!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Cheng began to explain the situation he had been investigating.
“I found more than a dozen disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect 500 li to the north; more than 30 disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect 400 li to the south; and some disciples of the Yellow Dragon Sect 460 li to the west. I haven’t had time to go to the east yet, and I was afraid of wasting time, so I came back to report the news!” Liu Cheng said.
"We don't need to go east. We just came back from the east. There were just some scattered Qingyun Sect cultivators there," Ye Xiaobai quickly added, explaining what he knew.
"Then let's head east to look for opportunities. After all, they're just some scattered Qingyun Sect cultivators, so there shouldn't be any danger," Liu Cheng suggested after hearing Ye Xiaobai's words, prioritizing a safe route.
"Junior Brother Liu thinks the same way as me, let's head east!" Tang Chao said, looking at Ye Xiaobai with expectant eyes, hoping that Ye Xiaobai could come along.
"Senior Brother Tang, I agree to go to the east, but I have a small suggestion," Ye Xiaobai said with a smile, because he had already thought of a way to deal with the Qingyun Sect.
"What suggestion do you have, Junior Brother Ye? Just tell me!" Tang Chao asked curiously.
"Eat up those Qingyun Sect cultivators to the south!" Ye Xiaobai said calmly.
"What?" Tang Chao and Liu Cheng exclaimed in shock.
“Junior Brother Ye, our group now, including you and Li Xinyan who just joined, only has sixteen people. The Qingyun Sect has more than thirty people. No matter what, we can’t wipe them out!” Tang Chao said incredulously.
"Senior Brother Tang, how many cultivators can your third-tier sword formation trap?" Ye Xiaobai asked instead of directly explaining to Tang Chao.
"About seven or eight Qi Refining stage cultivators! Any more than that and they won't last long." Tang Chao didn't know why Ye Xiaobai suddenly asked about formations, then he suddenly realized that Ye Xiaobai wanted to use formations, and continued, "One third-tier formation isn't enough!"
"And what about adding this third-tier formation to my inventory?" Ye Xiaobai said, taking out the third-tier formation from his storage bag.
"That's only a 50-60% chance!" Tang Chao was still a little unsure.
“Then we can do this…” Ye Xiaobai whispered in Tang Chao’s ear.
"In that case, this matter can be accomplished!" Upon hearing this, Tang Chao immediately agreed with Ye Xiaobai's suggestion.
Next, after Tang Chao assigned tasks according to Ye Xiaobai's advice, everyone started to take action.
Ye Xiaobai and Liu Cheng each led a group of people to the south, and soon arrived at the location of the Qingyun Sect disciples.
"Hey, there are a few lone White Tiger Sect disciples over there!" Zhou Yong, a disciple patrolling the outer perimeter of the Qingyun Sect, sent a message to Ye Xiaobai's group. After speaking, he gathered seven or eight disciples to attack Ye Xiaobai and his group.
Ye Xiaobai's team was also fighting and retreating. Seeing that these few easy targets were about to escape, Zhou Yong, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, immediately asked Wu Lei, the leader of this team of Qingyun Sect disciples, to lead everyone to surround Ye Xiaobai.
Wu Lei also led the Qingyun Sect members to quickly surround and attack Ye Xiaobai.
Seeing that the other party had been tricked, Ye Xiaobai immediately notified all the White Tiger Sect disciples to retreat at full speed. When the other party saw that the White Tiger Sect had all run away, they immediately gave chase. After chasing for a distance, they failed to catch up and, fearing an ambush, stopped pursuing with all their might.
After seeing the disciples of the Qingyun Sect return to their camp, Ye Xiaobai went to provoke them again, and was soon chased by a large group of people. However, this time he gave up after chasing them for only a short distance.
The third time, Ye Xiaobai went to the Qingyun Sect's headquarters to mock them. This time, he completely enraged everyone in the Qingyun Sect, who were all determined to kill Ye Xiaobai, that bastard!
Seeing that the Qingyun Sect disciples had fallen into the trap, Ye Xiaobai also desperately ran towards the location of the White Tiger Sect disciples.
"Hey kid, why aren't you running anymore?" Wu Lei said jokingly, looking at Ye Xiaobai not far away.
"No need to run anymore!" Ye Xiaobai chuckled. They were already at the location where Ye Xiaobai had set up the formation; why run anymore?
No sooner had Ye Xiaobai finished speaking than six or seven Qingyun Sect cultivators were trapped by the formation.
"Brothers, don't rush, there are more of us, let's kill this kid first!" Wu Lei said.
Just as he finished speaking, the screams of seven or eight more Qingyun Sect disciples rang out; they too were trapped inside the formation.
"Don't panic, fellow disciples! We still have the advantage in numbers. Once we catch this brat, we'll definitely give him a good beating!" Wu Lei was still comforting his fellow disciples beside him.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen disciples of the White Tiger Sect, led by Li Xinyan, Liu Cheng and others, surrounded Wu Lei and his group from all sides, forming a pincer movement with Ye Xiaobai.
A cacophony of shouts and cries filled the air. Half an hour later, Wu Lei was surrounded and killed, with only a few Qingyun Sect disciples in remote locations escaping.
