Chapter 746: Chapter 746: The Place Where Various Forces Converge
After arriving in Shisong County, Ji Yang clearly felt that there was a significant difference here.
There were indeed a lot of foreigners here; apart from them, there were also people with bulging temples at a glance, clearly cultivators who had trained their Inner Qi.
Good grief!
Seeing this situation, Ji Yang knew that this place had already changed.
Fortunately, Ji Yang also had some secret residences here. Only after settling down did he learn that all the local lodgings were already full, with many people moving around during the day and residing elsewhere at night.
Ji Yang didn’t bother with those matters, as his main purpose for coming here was to release the people from the Gan Family.
After having dinner, Ji Yang headed towards the mountain.
Now, Ji Yang was concealing his aura and had disguised himself, making it impossible to link him to his original identity.
Even though it was night, Ji Yang could still detect that many people were observing the comings and goings near the location where he had set up the Formation.
Fortunately, Ji Yang’s Divine Sense was very strong, allowing him early detection of those hidden in the dark, and even the surveillance devices hidden in secret places could be sensed by him; he hid from them immediately.
Dodging various surveillance spots, Ji Yang quickly arrived at a mountaintop.
Looking down from there, Ji Yang saw the people from the Gan Family lying on the ground, life and death unknown.
Around them, there were many people closely monitoring the situation; they seemed to be from the tenth division.
This was going to be difficult!
Had there been no one there, Ji Yang could have smoothly released them. Now that the place was under control and entry was prohibited, attempting a rescue would inevitably attract attention.
Fortunately, Ji Yang had anticipated this situation; he did not need to go to the Formation in person. All he needed to do was to activate the Formation from a distance and make it stop.
Just as Ji Yang was about to take action, his Divine Sense stirred, and he looked towards one direction.
Ji Yang noticed that a group of people had stealthily approached; they all had Western features.
Could it be that they were planning something else?
Ji Yang was somewhat puzzled by this.
The group quickly reached the spot where the Gan Family members were.
Then they saw the group deploy some objects, and the sound of an explosion followed.
It didn’t make sense!
Ji Yang couldn’t understand what they were trying to accomplish; such behavior didn’t seem beneficial.
Unable to figure it out, Ji Yang could only watch.
As the explosion sounded, two women suddenly burst forth into action.
Ji Yang recognized at a glance that one of the women was Xuan Yanwu, the deputy director of the tenth division.
Unexpectedly, the woman was here.
The other woman was also enchantingly beautiful, but Ji Yang didn’t know who she was.
Without any words exchanged, the two attacked their enemies.
However, Ji Yang noticed that the Westerners seemed to have anticipated the attack and did not flee at all.
After the two women charged, the Westerners activated some sort of mechanism, and the area was suddenly engulfed in mist.
Seeing the two women trapped within the Formation, Ji Yang grew even more curious. Upon closer examination of the Formation, he recognized it; it was the Blood Fiend Formation mentioned in the legacies, said to be infused with copious amounts of blood during its creation, capable of greatly weakening the True Yuan of any cultivator trapped within it.
A True Yuan consuming Formation?
Clearly, the attackers had no intention of a direct confrontation with the women; their plan was to trap and deplete their True Yuan, leaving them at their mercy once the energy was drained.
At that moment, Ji Yang also saw that the Westerners were releasing a large amount of pink aura into the Formation.
Their intention was to destroy these two high-ranking officials from the tenth division right there.
Ji Yang found the situation baffling.
However, the deputy director of the tenth division, Xuan Yanwu, was evidently knowledgeable about Formations. He saw her trying her best to break the Formation.
Then he saw even more foreigners charge toward the direction of the ancient cave.
It seemed they believed there was some kind of opportunity in the ancient cultivator’s cave, which was why they were attacking with full force.
At this point, Ji Yang started to doubt whether his exploration of the cave had been thorough enough; he wondered if they had indeed discovered something more inside.
The whole situation was beginning to become incomprehensible to Ji Yang.
In the face of these foreigners’ assault, all of whom clearly possessed cultivation, the people from the tenth division stationed here were outmatched and found themselves in a defensive struggle.
Naturally, Ji Yang didn’t want to see this situation, though he was reluctant to engage in the fight himself.
The foreign forces had come prepared, and the battle became incredibly intense. The people from the tenth division were overwhelmed, and more police were rushing to the scene, clearly commanded by the tenth division to come help.
At this behavior, Ji Yang frowned again. If the cultivators could not win, what use could ordinary soldiers be?
Ji Yang knew it was time for him to take action.
