We must find a way to verify their identities and report them one by one.

The remaining task is to plan the layout for each area.

The rogue cultivators, drawn by the inherited artifacts, had already fallen under the surveillance of the Holy Fire Sect before even entering the mountain gate.

So even though Su Chen's disguise was very good, he was still suspected.

It wasn't until now that Su Chen realized that the Holy Flame Sect's presence within the Heavenly Righteous Gate was at least part of a two-pronged plan.

They need to eliminate a large number of cultivators and find the item that will be passed down through generations.

According to the Holy Flame Cult's plan, the Holy Maiden must die at the Heavenly Gate!

"He will be reporting the situation in three days. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to obtain the most crucial information about the mountain-protecting formation."

Every five days, the other party would report to their superior.

This day is also the time when monitoring is most lax in various areas.

.....

Three days later.

The old Taoist priest changed his appearance and appeared in front of Su Chen.

"The mountain-protecting formation isn't so easily tampered with. If you do this, aren't you just walking into a trap?"

The old Taoist priest heard that Su Chen wanted to open a back door in the protective array of Tianzheng Gate to escape.

His first reaction was that the kid was crazy.

Control of the great formation was divided among several people.

Unless there is an emergency, the highest level of control is in the hands of the sect leader.

The mountain-protecting formation is of paramount importance to the entire sect.

Let alone tampering with things, even getting close to someone will be subject to strict scrutiny.

"Stop talking nonsense and make some noise for me."

The rest is none of your concern.

Su Chen led the old Taoist priest and quickly crossed the Tianzheng Gate's defenses.

As for the Holy Fire Cult's spies, Su Chen obtained the markings for this area, so they simply pretended not to see them.

"Do you know that this is a mountain-protecting formation?"

If I make a move here, I will immediately be noticed by several Golden Core cultivators.

"How many lives do you think I have, enough to outrun them?"

The old Taoist priest was somewhat reluctant upon hearing this.

He infiltrated the area but hasn't accomplished anything yet.

He sacrificed himself to help a demonic cultivator.

That's such a waste!

Even if this demonic cultivator can be trusted.

"I didn't ask you to kill him."

All you need to do is attract the attention of most people.

I'm very quick.

How do I get out of here?

Don't tell me you'll kill them but not bury them!

Bluster doesn't need to be taught.

The key is how to escape safely.

"They won't chase you to death."

I believe in your abilities.

Old Taoist: ……

He even thought the other party was easy to get along with.

A demonic cultivator is a demonic cultivator!

They didn't even offer a single bad idea.

Just as the old Taoist was cursing Su Chen in his heart, he watched helplessly as Su Chen raised his hand.

Immediately afterwards, a not-so-strong ripple spread out from them.

"You can run now!"

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, his aura vanished before the old Taoist's eyes.

At some point, the person was replaced by a substitute talisman!

He, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of his cultivation, actually managed to deceive a Golden Core cultivator.

"You little rascal!"

Are you trying to force me?

Wait for me to come back!

The old Taoist priest cursed loudly, but dared not delay, and sped up to cross the mountain-protecting formation.

As expected, several auras surged from within the mountain gate, followed by two figures chasing after them.

Su Chen remained still, simply waiting quietly.

Before long, two more auras swept over.

They searched the interior of the formation several times.

They left quietly after confirming that there were no problems.

"We need to be a little quicker, otherwise we won't have enough time to work after the next change."

Su Chen had access to some blind spots within the great formation.

Only when the grand formation changes will these difficult-to-monitor areas be exposed.

Su Chen's method was simple: he left some traces inside his formation to ensure that a full-force attack could destroy the formation and create an escape route.

"Unfortunately, my research on formations is not deep enough."

Otherwise, the effect could be even better.

After Su Chen finished doing all this, he used a magic artifact to send a message to the old Taoist priest, and then took advantage of the chaos to leave the formation.

"What are you looking at?"

When Su Chen walked out of the mountain gate and found the Holy Maiden, she was still standing in the same spot, still gazing at the wind.

"just looking around."

The saintess shook her head, then turned to look at Su Chen.

"Master, can we save more people?"

"It can't be saved."

Su Chen refused outright; he knew what the Holy Maiden wanted to say.

"Not even a few?"

The saintess's voice sounded somewhat disappointed.

"Everyone's fate is predetermined. If you want to defy fate, you have to pay a sufficient price."

Saving you is enough.

Su Chen pinched the saintess's cheek.

Even now, Su Chen doesn't dare to say for sure that he can save the Holy Maiden.

He could only proceed cautiously, step by step, following the scenario he had previously simulated.

First, ensure that the Holy Maiden does not die at Tianzheng Mountain Gate, then find a way to raise her cultivation level to the Golden Core Perfection stage, and have a final battle with the sect leader.

Su Chen followed the saintess's gaze and looked over there. Not far away...

Several women and children lay there, covered in wounds, while further away, the perpetrators seemed to be receding into the distance.

Those people laughed heartily and sang loudly, as if the people on the ground had nothing to do with them.

"A person can't always rely on others to live in this world."

It can save you temporarily, but it can't save you forever.

If any of them dare to resist, then we can go with the flow.

Please help.

Su Chen spoke softly to the Holy Maiden.

The reason the Holy Maiden remained indifferent was most likely because she remembered Su Chen's orders.

But deep down, the saintess is kind-hearted.

That's why he asked Su Chen for a request.

Su Chen had assumed that the Holy Maiden would secretly intervene, infusing these people with some power and then guiding them to take action with words.

Then, he turned the tables and took down the perpetrators.

But the saintess did not do that; she simply waited quietly.

It wasn't until...the moment when heaven and earth changed, that the saintess took action.

"Is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth changing?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. The people lying on the ground clearly did not have any spiritual roots.

Even if one spends one's entire life, one can at most become a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining.
