Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 217: Target, Hidden Huo City!

"Pah, times change! You\'re too rigid. You need to be flexible and seize opportunities when they arise. If there\'s no opportunity, create one. But you, you even avoid opportunities when they present themselves. Isn\'t that foolish?"

Tian Cang suddenly noticed that Mi Xiaojing had been silent, his head bowed, lost in thought. He asked, "What\'s wrong?"

Mi Xiaojing replied, "Nothing, just considering some matters."

Tian Cang said, "The situation outside is getting more chaotic. We need to decide quickly how to escape."

Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment, then said, "The two of us together would be too conspicuous. Let\'s split up and escape. Do you have a place in mind?"

Tian Cang shook his head, "No, let\'s just get out of here first."

Mi Xiaojing asked, "Have you ever been to Hidden Huo City?"

Tian Cang nodded, "Yes, it\'s not too far from the sect."

Mi Xiaojing said, "Then let\'s head to Hidden Huo City. My younger brothers are there. We can regroup there, what do you think?"

Tian Cang was surprised, "You sent them to Hidden Huo City?"

Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Yes, I sent them away earlier."

Tian Cang admired Mi Xiaojing\'s foresight. Before this, not everyone in the sect was allowed to leave, yet Mi Xiaojing had managed to send his people away.

Of course, Tian Cang had never considered these things. He was a loner and a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The sect would never allow him to leave.

"Alright, I\'ll head to Hidden Huo City!"

Mi Xiaojing said, "If you get there first, please look after them for me."

Tian Cang laughed, "No problem, rest assured. I\'ll find them as soon as I get there."

Mi Xiaojing said, "Alright, let\'s part ways here."

Tian Cang immediately left via a small path down the mountain, while Mi Xiaojing headed towards the Grass-Benevolence Hall.

After a while, Mi Xiaojing entered the Grass-Benevolence Hall. He saw many people running around, many of whom were ordinary servants.

At this point, the defenses of Qingmu Peak were basically unmanned. Most people were fleeing, not daring to leave the defensive circle, and not knowing where to go, which made the situation particularly chaotic.

Mi Xiaojing spotted Guan Shangli standing at the entrance. He walked over and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Guan Shangli couldn\'t help but smile bitterly, "The elders of the Grass-Benevolence Hall are all gone. Only a few of us Foundation Establishment stewards are left to manage things. Everything is in chaos now. I\'m trying to figure out what to do."

Mi Xiaojing said, "What\'s there to think about? Prepare to run. The enemy is about to break in!"

Guan Shangli was completely flustered. He was never good at fighting or alchemy, which was why he had stayed in the sect, content to be a steward. If the sect wasn\'t in crisis, he could have lived a peaceful life. But now, he was completely at a loss.

"Ah? We really have to run?"

Mi Xiaojing said, "The elders of the Grass-Benevolence Hall have all run away. What are we staying here for? Are you a great fighter?"

Guan Shangli smiled bitterly, "I\'m no fighter. I guess I\'ll run too. But where should I run to?"

Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment, then said, "Have you ever been to Hidden Huo City?"

Guan Shangli said, "I have, a long time ago. Are you suggesting I run to Hidden Huo City?"

Mi Xiaojing nodded, "Yes, there should be quite a few people from the sect who will escape there. It will be easier to find companions."

Guan Shangli bowed in gratitude, then turned and ran. Mi Xiaojing called after him, "Run from the foot of the mountain!" At this point, flying would be suicide. With so many eyes watching, unless one was an Elemental Infant expert, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would have to walk on the ground.

It was like a crowd of people on the ground holding bows and arrows. Any bird foolish enough to fly up would be shot down. Foundation Establishment cultivators should never think they can fly fast. Once they take to the sky, they\'re not far from being shot down.

As Guan Shangli ran, he called out, "Thank you!"

Mi Xiaojing headed deeper into the Grass-Benevolence Hall. At this point, there were no people in sight. He went straight to the storeroom where the Pill Cauldrons were kept, only to find that all the cauldrons were gone.

Looking at the empty shelves, Mi Xiaojing said, "Old man, it seems no one is a fool. Everything here has been looted!"

Wang Weijun said, "That\'s normal. These are the obvious things, so they would be the first to be taken. The real treasures are in the sect\'s main hall, especially that Mysterious Heaven Formation. I have a feeling there\'s something good in there."

Mi Xiaojing was startled, "What? Going to the sect\'s treasury now? Isn\'t that suicide?"

Wang Weijun said, "What is an opportunity? Opportunities don\'t just appear when you want them to. You have to seek them out, to take a chance! Success means seizing the opportunity, failure means missing it. But if you don\'t try, you\'re guaranteed to get nothing!"

Mi Xiaojing finally understood Wang Weijun\'s meaning. He was suggesting that he go to the main hall of the sect to look for opportunities. If there was one, seize it. If not, it didn\'t matter. It was better than just running away. If there was a chance to enter the Mysterious Heaven Formation, even if they couldn\'t get into the treasury, it would at least give Wang Weijun a chance to study the formation and find secrets within the Mysterious Heaven Formation that the Heart Sect hadn\'t discovered.

Ever since Mi Xiaojing had entered the Mysterious Heaven Formation once, Wang Weijun had been obsessed with it. He believed there were secrets inside, secrets that the Heart Sect had not discovered.No matter what, he wanted to take a look. Besides, Mi Xiaojing\'s strength had greatly increased and he had more tricks up his sleeve. He believed that as long as he was careful, there shouldn\'t be any major problems.

I\'m not going!

Mi Xiaojing had never thought that Wang Weijun would make such a decision. According to his own thoughts, in such a chaotic situation, one should run as far as possible.

But Wang Weijun was different. Seeking opportunities in crises had become his instinct. For Wang Weijun, this opportunity was very rare, and giving up was not his style.

It\'s a pity that he had no ability to act, so he kept instigating Mi Xiaojing to stay. Fortunately, Mi Xiaojing\'s abilities had greatly increased recently, especially after defeating Chen Shouyi, he gained more confidence.

What does it matter if his strength and cultivation level are insufficient? He had plenty of tricks, his attack methods were very strange, and most importantly, Mi Xiaojing could teleport. This was enough. Stirred by Wang Weijun, Mi Xiaojing was also moved.

He said, "Alright, I\'ll go!"

Mi Xiaojing didn\'t plan to teleport. The limitations of this trick were strong, and if used too many times, it would fail. He had learned his lesson before, so this time he was much more careful.

Mi Xiaojing followed the path, flying close to the ground to speed up. Of course, flying high was impossible.

In a moment, Mi Xiaojing arrived at the foot of the mountain. He found that many low-level cultivators had gathered here, and there were even quite a few ordinary people.

When these people saw Mi Xiaojing coming down, they all started discussing.

Finished coding, continue to ask, all kinds of asking!
