Chapter 44 Waiting for the Enemy

"I heard from Senior Sister Qiu Hui that you set up a second-level formation here?"

Jing Ao smiled and sat down opposite Li An casually.

Li An took a sip of soup, and the last calmness on his face was broken. A fear emerged from the bottom of his eyes. His hands trembled slightly, and he reluctantly put down the bowl of soup and said, "You..."

"Don't be nervous."

Jing Ao said, "You did a good job and thought it through very carefully... Where is the jade talisman to activate the formation?"

Anger and fear surged on Li An's face, mixed with a sense of grievance. He stood up suddenly, "That formation is my own... I bought it with my own money!"

"It has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with you!"

He seemed very excited.

Seeing this, Jing Ao's smile on his face faded, and he stood up and patted Li An's shoulder casually.

The cultivation of the foundation-building period was released lightly, and Li An felt a huge force coming from his shoulder. He sat back on the chair with a butt, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned pale!

"Don't be so excited. Excitement won't change anything, right?"

Jing Ao said calmly, "It's just a second-level magic array. You are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. With your strength, even if you can activate it, you can only exert one-third of its power at most."

"Of course, this kind of thing should maximize its benefits, right? Don't forget, we are here to protect you too."

"Well, think about it carefully?"

Li An's eyes were filled with anger, but he had also sobered up. Facing the foundation-building strongman, he no longer dared to get angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you promise... that you will definitely protect my safety?"

Jing Ao smiled: "Of course."

Li An hesitated, but could only sigh, took out a jade talisman from his arms, and handed it to Jing Ao.

The jade talisman was engraved with array patterns, which was the key to opening the array.

Jing Ao took the jade talisman, injected some spiritual power into it and felt it. Suddenly, there was a faint power of a large formation released around the talisman shop. He nodded with satisfaction, "Master Li, you are a smart man. You should know what to do next."

"Live as usual, eat and drink as you should, and don't show any abnormality..."

"Otherwise, if you destroy the sect's plan, you can be convicted of the sect!"

After saying that, he suddenly picked up a bowl from the table casually, scooped up the nourishing soup left by Tan Qingxue, drank a sip, and said in admiration:

"Mrs. Li is worthy of being one of the three golden flowers of the outer sect in the past, and the soup is so delicious."

He licked his tongue and said with a little regret: "Speaking of which, I am the lifesaver of Miss Qingxue. Hey, I didn't expect that this good fortune would be enjoyed by Master Li..."

Xu Qiuhui, Tan Qingxue, and Mu Qingwan, the three golden flowers of the outer sect, are these three people.

Li An's face changed slightly, Jing Ao stood up and said: "Plan, start."

He led people out.

...

Jing Ao and others did not stay directly in the talisman shop, but hid in the surrounding shops to form a siege.

After all, people hiding in the talisman shop are easy to be discovered by the demon cultivators.

When the demon cultivators notice something, this strategy may fail.

This is also the same as Li An's deduction. Jing Ao and others are not with Li An. Under normal circumstances, he will definitely be killed by the demon cultivators directly, and then Jing Ao and others will take action.

However, according to Li An's guess, Jing Ao and others will definitely leave some monitoring instruments in the talisman shop.

After all, the demon cultivators have many means. If Li An is killed without knowing it, they will be useless.

Moreover, when Jing Ao came in just now, the other disciples did not follow him, but went to other places in the talisman shop, maybe arranging something.

After Jing Ao and the others left, Li An activated the Super Sense Technique and walked through every corner of the Talisman Shop carefully.

Over the past ten years, Li An has been familiar with every corner of the Talisman Shop.

After careful inspection, he soon found some clues.

The teacup on the counter had been replaced.

Originally it was an ordinary porcelain cup, but now it has been replaced with a slightly higher-end white jade cup, and the base of the white jade cup is slightly thicker.

"Twin Spirit Bells!"

Li An understood instantly!

This is a second-level magic weapon, very special, usually in pairs, and when one is destroyed, the other will give an alarm.

"Moreover, it is specially used to monitor the magic energy..."

Li An has practiced Yin-Yang Magic Furnace for many years. After careful feeling, he understood the mechanism in this cup.

This jade cup is extremely fragile and sensitive. As long as there is a fluctuation of magic energy within a radius of three meters, it will be destroyed.

He put the jade cup back carefully and walked around. In the small garden in the inner hall, at the bottom of a flower pot; in Li An's room, under the chair where Jing Ao sat!

Including the tea cups in the store, there are three places in total, all of which are equipped with spirit bells.

"Really willing to spend a lot of money!"

Li An whispered, just these three pairs of spirit bells cost thousands of spirit stones, and it is obvious that the weapon refining masters of Xuanyang Sect specially made them for the demon cultivators!

However, the rampage of Yin-Yang Demon Cult has become a major concern for Xuanyang Sect. It is Xuanyang Sect's strategic plan to destroy the Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Cult. This time, the elder of the inner sect of Jiadan will take action, so naturally, these resources will not be spared.

In this way, as long as the demon cultivator kills Li An, there will inevitably be fluctuations in demonic energy. Even if the sound is small, Jing Ao and others on the periphery can immediately find it.

"It is Jing Ao who came here, not the fake Dan-level elder. Obviously, Xuanyang Sect's inference is the same as mine, guessing that the Soul-seeking Horse-faced Man will go to the medicinal materials."

"In addition to Yu Xiong, the foundation-building master who is stationed here, there are at least two foundation-building masters in the market!"

"And in order to increase the success rate, the Demon Cult will most likely adopt the tactics of the last time, sending people to feint to attack the market from the periphery, and the masters will sneak over to kill me."

"Therefore, Yu Xiong must not participate in the things here. Even if he knows the plan of Xuanyang Sect in advance, he must focus on the periphery. Otherwise, he will come here without showing up to defend the periphery, which will arouse the vigilance of the Demon Cult!"

"That is, the only foundation-building cultivator of Xuanyang Sect who appears here may be Jing Ao."

"If there is only one person..."

A thought suddenly flashed through Li An's mind, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

However, this cannot be confirmed, and we must know it at that time...

When the demon cultivator really appears, if there are other foundation-building masters waiting in the dark, they will most likely appear.

Li An could decide what to do. He secretly pinched the jade talisman in his hand, and felt a little relieved.

--The real jade talisman that controls the second-level magic array... is here with him!

What he gave to Jing Ao was just a forged jade talisman!

In his previous life, the only two things Li An practiced were arrays and talismans. Now his strength is far from being able to make arrays, but with ready-made arrays, he only needs to condense some simple parts of the array into the jade talisman, creating the illusion that the jade talisman can activate the array, and then he can deceive Jing Ao!

When he asked Tan Qingxue to buy the second-level array, he never thought about keeping it secret.

After all, before such a major plan of the sect, Xu Qiuhui would never help Li An conceal it, and the relationship between the two was far from that level.

Deliberately giving the fake array jade talisman to Jing Ao... was also part of his plan!

...

And at this moment.

In a building next to the talisman shop.

"Brother Jing, the eldest brother asks, has the second-level magic array been set up?"

A disciple at the peak of Qi training asked Jing Ao.

This time, Xuanyang Sect attached great importance to dealing with the Soul-demanding Horse-face, so Jing Ao was not the only one who came to the market.

There was another person who was secretly in charge.

"Tell him that it has been set up."

Jing Ao smiled slightly.

He glanced at the jade talisman in his hand. Originally, in Xuanyang Sect's plan, a second-level magic array was indeed to be set up in the Lingfu Shop.

But he didn't expect that Li An, a little talisman master, was so rich that he set one up himself.

In this way, Jing Ao could naturally embezzle the set given by the sect.

"Your wealth, and your woman... You should have had enough after enjoying it for so many years."

He closed his eyes and thought of Tan Qingxue's appearance. A married woman, young woman, was even more delicious...

After this battle, it was time for him to enjoy himself.

...

In the next few days, everything was calm as usual.

In the periphery, Jing Ao and others never appeared on the street once, obviously very cautious to avoid being discovered by the demon cultivators.

Li An ate, slept, and sold talismans as usual.

Tan Qingxue did not come back, and Li An did not hear any news about her.

Xu Qiuhui should have settled her down, right?

It was good that she left. If I died here, there would be someone to help collect the body.

Li An thought so and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Do you have a talisman for sale?"

At this time, a voice suddenly came!

...
