Chapter 2158 Where are the people?
Qu Jianlei takes the potential crisis of the team very seriously this time.
Even though Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan performed well and the matter was resolved peacefully, but... we can't expect to be so lucky all the time, right?
Don't test human nature easily, he has long understood this.
Then he can't continue to retreat in peace, he needs to come out for a walk from time to time.
The next thing is the most important thing for Hongye Ridge - to start raising the demon.
Hall Master Jiang brought the Soul-Locking Banner from the Star Hall, and also brought a formation master, Xing Tong Zhenxian.
Xing Tong is good at setting up formations for the soul, and has set up several large formations for use with the Soul-Locking Banner.
He was a little reluctant to come to Hongye Ridge because he thought that the formation would be best set up around the Star Palace.
The place where the Star Palace is located is a genuine fifth-level spiritual vein. Even if it is now so broken that it has basically been downgraded, it is still fifth-level after all.
However, the one who made the request was the one who could kill Hongye Ling who had left his body, and the head of the Liyue Hall strongly supported it, so Xing Tong had no choice but to comply.
But since he was here, he was still very responsible in surveying the terrain and planning the formation.
But just two days later, not only did Master Yulin come, he also brought a formation master, Immortal Sanhe, with him.
Shu Ge is not very good at formations. He said that he is not very good at setting up formations, but... he is good at finding faults!
Xing Tong Zhenxian was speechless about this, "If you can only talk, don't point fingers at me."
"I don't want to either," Sanhe Zhenxian said helplessly, "but Daogong Guanfei found the book pavilion and wanted to participate in the formation."
When Dao Palace heard that Hongye Ridge had teamed up with Shuge and Xingchen Palace to raise a celestial demon, it also began to consider getting involved.
Hongye Ridge is really popular now, and you can tell by looking at the reaction of the Star Palace - it is the only one of the five major forces that is opposed to raising demons.
Therefore, it is normal for Daogong to want to get involved, but there is no doubt that the three parties involved in the cooperation must agree!
As expected, the Star Hall and the Book Pavilion refused first - if too many people got involved in this kind of thing, it would easily cause trouble.
The most important thing is that these two families believe that even if the Taoist Palace gets involved, it will not be able to play any irreplaceable role.
Guan Fei couldn't stand this. He had just recovered from his illness, so he went straight to the library - do you have a formation that is stronger than mine?
Zhenxian Sanhe said that although my library is not good at setting up formations, I can still fill in the gaps.
Hearing the name of Guan Fei Zhenxian, Xing Tong lost his temper and finally said angrily, "Everyone has their own specialties."
As a formation master, Guan Fei is slightly better than him and is relatively more comprehensive.
But Xing Tong would not underestimate himself, "Based on the formation I have set up now, he will need at least another two hundred years to study it!"
"That's right, everyone has their own expertise," Immortal Sanhe nodded, "You set up your formation, and I'll pick my thorns."
While they were setting up the formation, people gradually sent them relevant information about the demon.
Most people think that Hongyeling’s decision is a bit risky, but... they have set up a large formation at their doorstep!
Needless to say, just based on this courage, everyone feels that they should help to the best of their ability.
Isn’t it for the people of Cangwu that Hongyeling is working so hard?
In addition to this, some people also sent the demonic energy or the sealed demons.
Since this is a racial war, we must all work together, those who have money should contribute money, and those who have strength should contribute strength.
On this day, Qu Jianlei was calculating a problem that he didn't quite understand, so he planned to ask Yi He for advice - after all, he was also a soul.
Then he discovered something very strange: Yi He was missing!
Not only did Yi He disappear, but the nightmare-like demon spirit that had left his body also disappeared and could not be found anywhere.
Qu Jianlei frowned and thought: How long has it been since I last contacted Senior Yi He?
It seems... it has been quite some time. I don’t know if it has been a year, two years, or even longer?
He had no choice but to go find other people and ask: Have you seen Yi He?
The good news is that someone really has seen Yi He recently. At least when he was fighting the demon, he was still in his portable cave.
Yi He also made an analysis of Qu Jianlei's situation at that time.
The bad news is that no one has seen Yi He recently and no one knows where he went.
Qu Jianlei couldn't understand: I didn't stop you from leaving, did I? Even the demonized nightmare essence is fine for you.
But can we please say hello before we leave?
But in the end, it was Xiao Hu who provided the answer: My younger brother said that Yi He flew out of the portable cave on his own initiative.
The IQ of a high-end imitation is basically that of a three or four-year-old child. It won't actively tell you many things unless you ask it.
Moreover, its ability to express itself is limited. Xiaohu communicated with it for a long time before it was basically certain that the incident should have happened two or three months ago.
During this period, Paranoid and Mu Yu brought their portable caves and led many Dongsheng cultivators to explore the Forgotten Peninsula.
Qu Jianlei found the two again and asked them what happened at that time.
But these two... are really laughable. They can't remember at all that the Nightmare Demon Spirit ever flew out of the cave.
To be honest, Yi He's presence was indeed too weak during this period of time, and his knowledge was basically of no use.
If Qu Jianlei hadn't had any questions about his soul and body, he wouldn't have thought of looking for him.
Moreover, Yi He's fighting power is almost nothing and he cannot be compared with Jiao Daoren and Xizhao at all.
The role that suits him best is that of a portable grandfather, whose knowledge becomes completely invisible once it is no longer used.
Qu Jianlei was very unhappy, not because he felt sorry for the nightmare demon, but because how could such a good person just disappear like this?
He wasn't even sure whether the other party disappeared voluntarily or passively!
However, just before he was about to make his divination, Jing Yuexin asked him, "Is Senior Yi He dead or alive now?"
"He should not be dead," Qu Jianlei was still very confident, "otherwise I would have sensed it."
Jing Yuexin nodded and asked again, "So, is he in danger now?"
"It shouldn't be... that serious," Qu Jianlei hesitated this time.
Finally, he said, "Unless you can block my perception, I would have sensed when he was in danger. Why did you do this?"
"So..." Jing Yuexin looked at him meaningfully, "He has his own choice, should we interfere?"
"I definitely won't interfere," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "I just want to know why."
With the team's current reputation in Cangwu, there shouldn't be any problem exposing the background from the empire. What is he afraid of?
"You have obsessive-compulsive disorder," Jing Yuexin said leisurely, "If he has a better choice, we should just wish him the best... why bother to predict?"
After all, she didn't want the boss to experience any unnecessary backlash.
"But..." Qu Jianlei hesitated, "What if he's in danger?"
"Don't you have a feeling?" Jing Yuexin answered confidently, "Lao Pian didn't encounter the demon when he went to the Forgotten Peninsula this time!"
Given the team's current situation, the only one who could defeat Yi He silently is probably the demon.
But during his last trip to the Forgotten Peninsula, Qu Jianlei was already very curious: there were so many folded spaces there, but why were there no demons?
Therefore, he had specifically warned people to be careful of encountering demons,
But after the paranoid man came back, he said: I really didn’t find the demon inside.
"This is really..." Qu Jianlei was really worried about Yi He. The two had known each other for almost two hundred years. Was it okay for him to just ignore Yi He like this?
But if the other party deliberately left quietly, wouldn't it be a joke for him to go looking for him?
In short, he was in a very conflicted mood, and he even wanted to disturb Senior Yingling.
Finally, he calmed down and said, "Forget it, let's study the demon first... and then we'll do it when we get a bad feeling."
It took Xing Tong two months to set up the formation, and most of the materials were obtained from the Star Palace.
Some of the materials he brought were extremely rare, but for the Star Palace to do such a big thing, it didn't need these things, so they were enough.
But there is no way... There is a Sanhe Formation Master in the library.
Sanhe is also quite interesting. He really doesn't know how to set up the formation, but his eyes are particularly sharp and he can always find imperfections.
Xing Tong is also a stubborn person. He will definitely admit what is right - if it is wrong, he will simply ignore it!
So in the end, the formation was changed again and again, and the materials he brought were not enough, so the book pavilion supplemented some, and Hongye Ridge also took some.
On this day, the formation was finally completed. After testing, they started to release demonic energy and demons into it.
Hongye Ridge did not announce the news to the outside world, as they had to be on guard against the possibility that the demons would come and cause trouble after hearing the news.
But everyone who should have been there showed up to witness this historic moment together.
Just after the ceremony, Taoist Jiao whispered to Qu Jianlei, "If Yi He were here, he would be very happy."
"You didn't even keep an eye on him!" Qu Jianlei got angry when he mentioned this. "You went there the second time too. Did you think I did something?"
"There must be something fishy about this matter," Jiao Dao Ren said after a moment's hesitation, "I don't want anything to go wrong... I don't need the Cloud Crown."
The Cloud Crown is no longer considered the team’s top treasure, and no matter what, it is the magic weapon of the Beast Taming Sect.
"What are you talking about?" Qu Jianlei was in a bad mood. "You can take the cloud crown and leave now. I swear on my heart that I will not stop you."
"Did I say it has something to do with you?" Jiao Daoren was also in a bad mood, "I was asking you to protect me... This is a little wrong."
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then tried to adjust his mood and asked seriously, "What do you think is wrong?"
"I can't explain it," the little snake said without even uttering a word, "I just feel something is wrong... My spiritual perception is not bad."
Qu Jianlei knew what he meant by spiritual perception, which was usually used to describe the insight of spiritual beasts.
It is not surprising to see that the elder of the Beast Taming Sect is currently occupying the body of a spirit beast.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a while, "Could it be that he is uneasy about raising a demon?"
"Maybe," Taoist Jiao thought for a moment and replied, "Raising a demon... is really a crazy act."
"I was only away for a few months, and you made this decision. Sigh."
