Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 227 - 138: When the Enemy Arrives, Run First and Ask Later
As He Litao entered, everyone greeted him respectfully.
One of the Qi Refining Perfection disciples immediately asked:
"Junior Martial Uncle He, what exactly is happening outside? Where is the enemy from?"
Evidently, these people had entered the cave residence earlier and did not witness what Chu Ning had just seen.
"These matters are for the sect’s Golden Core Cultivators and your Foundation Establishment brothers to worry about. You just stay here at ease."
He Litao did not directly answer the person’s question.
As he spoke, he seemed to remember that Chu Ning had already seen what was happening outside when he came in earlier.
Turning his head, he said to Chu Ning:
"Chu Ning, come with me!"
Saying this, he directly took Chu Ning to a separate stone chamber at the back of the cave residence.
"You just stay here. Don’t dwell on what you just saw. When the sect leader returns, everything will be explained to you."
With that, He Litao no longer paid attention to Chu Ning and left straight away.
"This is truly a case of plans not keeping up with changes."
Sitting alone in the stone chamber, Chu Ning’s expression was volatile.
This Xin Wuya’s cave residence was located at the sect’s core, a fair distance from the sect protection array’s restriction.
Now that He Litao was outside, he had no way to leave.
Moreover, he was unaware of the battle situation outside.
Previously, Chu Ning felt that even if there wasn’t a chance today, it wouldn’t matter to wait a few days.
But upon learning that the Yin Demon Sect was targeting disciples who had acquired the Spirit Charm,
Chu Ning felt a more urgent need to leave.
He knew perfectly well that if the sect were truly unable to hold on, the Cyan Creek Sect would absolutely consider sending everyone out.
After all, no matter how important the Spirit Seed was, it would never be more significant than the life and death of the sect.
When the Yin Demon Sect’s Nascent Soul Cultivator appeared before, Xin Wuya was willing to abandon the Spirit Seed to preserve the sect.
Let alone just a few Qi Refining disciples.
Moreover, with the last experience, the Yin Demon Sect coming in full force this time must be well-prepared.
Chu Ning naturally had little confidence in the Cyan Creek Sect’s ability to withstand that Yin Demon Sect’s attack.
Thoughts churned, but for the moment, he couldn’t think of any solution, causing Chu Ning’s brow to knit tightly.
Suddenly, Chu Ning’s gaze slightly flickered as he looked at the floor.
Then, he quickly released Ling Xiaobai from the Spirit Beast Bag.
"Yip!"
As soon as it appeared, Ling Xiaobai called out to Chu Ning with confusion.
It seemed puzzled as to why, after speaking of leaving the sect’s restriction, they hadn’t left yet.
At this moment, Chu Ning didn’t pay attention to it but instead asked Ling Xiaobai:
"Can you sense if there are any restrictions beneath the cave residence?"
"Yip!"
Ling Xiaobai nodded, then used telepathy with Chu Ning.
Hearing Ling Xiaobai’s telepathy, Chu Ning couldn’t help but sigh softly.
"That won’t do. You can only take me through one restriction. Even if we break through this cave residence’s restriction, we can’t break through the sect protection array’s restriction."
At that moment, Ling Xiaobai’s telepathy suddenly echoed in his mind.
"I can use my divine technique twice."
"What?"
Hearing this, Chu Ning nearly exclaimed aloud.
However, he managed to restrain himself and began communicating with Ling Xiaobai through telepathy.
After a brief exchange, Chu Ning roughly understood the situation.
Recently, when he absorbed the Spirit Charm, his ability to draw in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was too strong.
This little creature had absorbed spiritual qi alongside him, and its strength had increased somewhat.
Although it hadn’t yet crossed the threshold from Tier One Demon Beast to Tier Two Demon Beast,
its internal spiritual power had increased, allowing it to use its innate divine techniques twice in a short time.
Hearing this, Chu Ning’s spirits immediately lifted.
"Xiaobai, is there any difference between the restriction in this cave residence and that of the sect protection array?
Can you take me out of the cave residence once, and then I’ll use Earth Escape Technique to reach the edge of the sect protection array, where you can take me through it?"
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Ling Xiaobai blinked its eyes.
It seemed Chu Ning had conveyed too much information at once, leaving it a bit bewildered.
After a little while, Ling Xiaobai responded through telepathy.
Although the little creature couldn’t express itself completely, Chu Ning understood the gist.
And after listening, Chu Ning’s eyes flickered slightly.
Ling Xiaobai told him that it had sensed earlier that along the edge of the sect protection array, there were the same restrictions underground.
These restrictions reached vertically downward, extending into the earth just like the array above them in the sky.
So breaking through from underground wasn’t an issue at all.
Chu Ning wasn’t surprised by this, as the sect protection array was meant for comprehensive defense.
If one could escape from underground, then the defense would be for nothing.
But the restriction inside the cave residence was different—it wasn’t an outer restriction extending downward, but a single layer enveloping the entire cave residence.
This underground restriction was only two zhang deep, so one could reach its edge for a breakthrough by slightly digging down from the surface.
Hearing this, a complete plan formed in Chu Ning’s mind.
First, escape the underground restriction, then use Earth Escape Technique to reach the edge of the sect protection array, where Ling Xiaobai would use its divine technique to take him away.
During normal times, this method would surely be unfeasible due to the numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Inner Sect.
