After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 279

However, the benefits of doing so are also obvious.

At the beginning, everyone was exhausted and had to rely on pills to replenish their spiritual energy and physical strength, but now they can barely hold on without taking pills.

But just when they had gotten used to this rhythm, now they don't even have time to rest at night!

The disciples were truly heartbroken.

Some of the bolder ones even asked Chen Lan directly—

"Master Chen, why? If we don't rest at night, our condition will definitely be affected."

Chen Lan was not offended. Instead of being angry, she replied in a pleasant tone, "This is my arrangement for the route. You just need to know that this is true, there's no need to ask any more questions."

This answer was so vague that it was as if there was no answer at all.

The disciples didn't ask any further questions, but they were somewhat disappointed.

However, the Wuya Sect disciples who were hiding in the forest were startled and sensed something unusual.

This isn't right.

They've followed quite a few teams these past few days, but each team is pretty much the same: traveling during the day and resting at night.

Moreover, it's clear that the Immortal Sect cares for its disciples quite a bit, not being stingy with time for rest, and certainly not forcing them to rush.

This is the first time a team has suddenly announced they want to travel at night, without even a reasonable explanation.

Something unusual must be going on; they had every reason to suspect that this team had other plans!

"Captain, what are they trying to do?" A short-haired male cultivator with a fierce face, who looked like someone not to be trifled with, quietly approached Captain Jiang Rong and asked in a low voice.

The Wuya Sect is divided into four teams, and this team is Team Number Three. Jiang Rong's cultivation is only one step away from reaching the Golden Core stage.

In fact, if his entry into the secret realm hadn't been so sudden, he would have already planned to go into seclusion to break through to the next level.

However, the sect had made such arrangements, so they temporarily stopped him and assigned him to this place.

Jiang Rong was a very thin male cultivator with a sinister face and a pair of triangular eyes that revealed a fierce edge.

"They probably have something good up ahead and want to sneak it in under the cover of darkness." Jiang Rong squinted, rubbing his chin with his hand.

"Really?" Jin Feng's eyes lit up.

"The people of the Immortal Sect have the support of the Divination God Clan, who are skilled in divination and calculation, so it's not surprising that they know more. Putting aside other things, apart from a few rogue cultivators who came to try their luck, they are the only ones in the entire cultivation world who brought so many people into the secret realm, which is enough to show their abilities."

Jiang Rong sneered, but a hint of greed crept into his eyes when he spoke of the Bu Shen Clan.

The Divination God Clan is skilled in divination. The fact that the Immortal Sect dared to send so many people into the secret realm this time must mean that the Divination God Clan had drawn a favorable divination result, which is why they sent them!
If it weren't for Master Xue, their Wuya Sect would have really missed this treasure trove, and wouldn't the Xianlai Sect have silently reaped all the benefits?
Once the exit of the secret realm opens, when they hunt down these Immortal Sect disciples and the Soul Search Captain, they must find out the whereabouts of the Bu Shen Clan. Then the Bu Shen Clan can be used by their Wuya Sect.

Since the Bu Shen Clan can pledge allegiance to the Xianlai Sect, they can also pledge allegiance to the Wuya Sect!
However, these things can only be done when the exit of the secret realm is opened, and right now, this team from the Immortal Sect clearly has other plans.

“Captain Jiang is right! By the way, this squad leader from the Immortal Sect seems to be Chen Lan. She is the most valued person by the sect leader and Elder Liu among all the Foundation Establishment cultivators, and she has a very high status in the Immortal Sect.” Jin Feng said, squinting.

"Yes, it is her."

Chen Lan is one of those who must undergo a soul search because her identity is too important.

She must know about the Divination Clan, and what she's going to do tonight might also be related to their divination... Could there really be some treasure tonight?
Thinking about this, Jiang Rong's breathing became a little rapid.

Although the Wuya Sect was planning to hold off on taking action until the very end and then rob the place, it depends on the situation, doesn't it?

If tonight's events are extremely important, and the treasure is crucial, then acting ahead of time is acceptable.

Even if we don't take action, we should still go and see what's going on, so we can report anything to the sect leader.

"Give the order to have the disciples retreat another three miles and obey my commands."

Tonight's events are very important. To avoid disturbing the Immortal Sect with the noise made by the disciples, we must keep them at a considerable distance.

"Yes!"

[Oh ho, they've taken the bait. The captain and his lackey are close by; the other disciples have already retreated three miles.]

Come on, come on, you absolutely have to come along! There's something good coming tonight!

After a short rest, the group continued their journey.

Although the disciples were exhausted, they dared not say anything since Chen Lan had given his instructions beforehand, and could only grit their teeth and keep up.

Midway through, they passed a mound, but Chen Lan did not go straight there. Instead, she investigated the area and said, "There is a nest of milk crystal ants here. The queen ant has fully emulsified. Ten of you come over and attack it as a group. The rest of you surround the mound to prevent them from panicking and escaping."

She pointed to ten disciples, all of whom she had observed and found to be quick-witted in recent days.

"Yes!"

One of the ten people was happy.

The fully emulsified milk crystal ant queen is extremely precious. Its body is a very valuable material for refining weapons, and its number in existence is very small.

The ten of them were the main force, and according to the distribution principle, they would get the most in the end, so of course they were extremely happy.

The other disciples were also very happy.

Each nest of milk ants had an astonishing number of ants. Although the big ones couldn't eat them all, they could still get some soup.

Moreover, ordinary milk crystal ants are also materials for refining weapons, and if the quality is high, they can be sold for a considerable price.

The more you kill, the more you gain!
Jiang Rong and Jin Feng followed at a distance. Both of them were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Their Wuya Sect was used to petty theft and had their own advantages in hiding their whereabouts, so they were not easily discovered.

Not to mention... they also have tools.

Jiang Rong had a black object, resembling a tree branch, inserted into his ear. This was a magical artifact that could amplify sound within a certain range, making it a powerful tool for eavesdropping and tracking.

Just like now, even though he is far away, he can hear clearly what Chen Lan is saying to the disciples, and sometimes he can even hear some keywords in the disciples' casual conversations.

Right now, he can hear words like milk crystals, ants, and mounds, which is enough for him to make some guesses.

After watching for a while, Jiang Rong said, "This woman does have some skills."

"There are rumors that this woman and Xu Yihan had a baby girl, the one she always holds in her arms, and that the baby girl is very spoiled. I don't know if it's true or not."

Jin Feng seemed to realize something, and with a sly smile, he spoke to Jiang Rong.
