C971 Let's Rethink the Plan
Du Qi didn't dare to stop for even a second when he felt the unusual airflow around him. Instead, he retreated even faster, causing the air currents to become even more violent. The breeze gradually turned into a strong wind, but this sudden change did not attract the attention of the four experts. Because the four of them were still quietly hiding there without making any unusual movements.
After getting out of the encirclement of the four experts, Du Qi let out a sigh of relief. In order to prevent the four experts from noticing that something was amiss and chasing after him, Du Qi did not dare to stop. He also didn't dare to turn halfway, no matter if there was a path under his feet or not. He continued to rapidly retreat until he was in front of a mountain rock. Du Qi saw that no one was chasing after him, so he slowed down. He climbed up slowly.
Standing on top of the rock, Du Qi looked around and found that this was the outer perimeter of Heavenly Pillar Castle. Remembering the dangerous situation in the castle, Du Qi felt a lingering fear. At this moment, even though he knew that he could easily escape from being discovered, he still did not dare to be careless. He did not want to stay for long, so he looked at the layout of the houses in Heavenly Pillar Castle. Then, he turned around and left.
Due to the large number of sects that participated in the kidnapping of Yao Fugui, in order to set up many traps, naturally, a large number of people were needed, so almost all of the sects had come. With so many people, it was impossible for all of them to squeeze into the Heavenly Pillar Castle, except for the leaders of the various sects. The rest of them were stationed outside the Heavenly Pillar Castle.
Although there were many experts among these people, they were far from being comparable to Du Qi. Therefore, when Du Qi came, he easily passed through the encampment of these people and swaggered down the mountain.
After entering a small forest at the foot of a cliff, Du Qi found a hidden place and revealed himself. He took a long breath and was about to sit down cross-legged to recover the True Yuan he had consumed from using the stealth technique. Suddenly, he frowned and flew into the dense branches and leaves of a nearby tree.
Not long after, Du Qi heard someone say with some dissatisfaction, "This place is so remote, and it is so far from our station. Even if someone wanted to investigate our situation, they wouldn't have come here, would they? I really don't know what those people above are thinking. They want us to patrol here. This isn't because they're too full, but because they're trying to make things difficult for us."
Upon hearing this voice, Du Qi could not help but be startled. It was not because of the meaning behind this person's words, but because he felt that this voice was somewhat familiar. It was just that he could not recall who this person was.
Before Du Qi's longing had faded, another familiar voice sounded. "Don't complain. Who asked us to be weaker than others and have a higher status than others? Just bear with it. Actually, if I were to say it, it might not be a bad thing for us to take the opportunity to take a walk. "
Upon hearing this voice, Du Qi seemed to have wanted to shout out this person's name, but he was still unable to recall who this person was.
At this time, another unfamiliar voice continued, "It's still the Taoist priest who is reasonable and knows how to comfort people!"
"Elder Daoist?" With a thought from Du Qi, a person suddenly appeared in his mind. "Daoist Priest Cloudy Heavens?!"
That's right, the person called Daoist Priest by that strange voice was Daoist Priest Cloudy Heavens! That day, Chang Xiaowu was captured by an unknown force into Xiangyang's Heavenly Fragrance Tavern. The person who directly negotiated with Du Qi was this Daoist Yun Xiao, and the familiar voice from before was from one of them. However, Du Qi was not sure if the person who spoke was Fang Zijian or Yuan Shiling.
As he was thinking, Du Qi saw through the thick leaves that a group of seven people was leisurely walking by. Only one of them was dressed in Daoist attire, but judging from his appearance, he was not Daoist Cloudy Heavens. And from the sound of it, it was undoubtedly Daoist Cloudy Heavens! In the crowd, Du Qi could only hear his voice, but he didn't see Fang Zijian or Yuan Shiling.
There was no need to think carefully before Du Qi understood. At that time, they must have disguised themselves in order to confuse the whole situation. As long as Du Qi could not find them, his goal would be achieved. Regarding this, Du Qi could not help but secretly praise them for setting up a good plan!
Now, Du Qi couldn't be bothered to find out the true identity and power of this Fake Cloud Daoist. Since they appeared here, it was related to the kidnapping of Uncle Gui.
Du Qi didn't intend to let go of the people and powers who dared to kidnap Uncle Gui. It only strengthened his resolve. "Since you guys want to play, I'll play with you guys. It might be a good thing if we can annihilate all these people and powers with ill intentions!"
Du Qi knew that it was naive to want to annihilate all the powers that wanted to abduct Uncle Gui, even if there weren't more than ten top experts. However, Du Qi still made up his mind. He must teach these major powers a lesson. Otherwise, who would these major powers use to threaten him in the future?
Looking at the people on his side, only Fann Wencong, the other three, and Daoist priest Tianyi could fight against the dozen top experts. Woo Kai might be able to barely be counted as one, but Mei Xiangdong's martial arts cultivation was not enough. As for the others, there was no need to even mention them. They just didn't know if the Myriad Holy Palace had such an outstanding expert. Even if there were, there wouldn't be too many. Sigh. There were still too few experts!
It would be great if Woo Jifeng was here. He alone might be able to easily suppress the dozen or so top experts. But now, he had no strength to subdue Woo Jifeng. It seemed like his own cultivation base was still insufficient. No matter what, he had to improve his cultivation base as soon as possible!
However, the most important thing right now was to save Uncle Gui safely. Only by saving Uncle Gui could he deal with those major powers. Otherwise, even if Woo Jifeng was here, all of this would be empty talk. Du Qi thought.
In order to save Uncle Gui safely, he needed to make a long plan. Du Qi originally didn't plan to borrow the strength of Fann Wencong and the other three, but now, besides borrowing the strength of the four of them, Du Qi really couldn't think of a way to save Uncle Gui safely.
Also, after saving Uncle Gui, he needed to make proper arrangements. Otherwise, Uncle Gui's safety wouldn't be guaranteed, and these things... It was indeed difficult for Du Qi to think it through by himself. It seemed like the best plan was to find Kong Fangquan and the others to discuss it!
After thinking about this, Du Qi no longer cared about recovering the consumed true essence. He immediately jumped onto the top of the tree, aimed at the right direction, and sped down the mountain.
From afar, Du Qi saw Fann Wencong and the other three standing on a small hill. Their figures were extremely ethereal. Even those with high martial arts cultivation would not be able to notice them if they did not look closely.
Seeing Du Qi, Fann Wencong and the other three hurried over. Fann Wencong first asked, "Mr. Du, how is the situation?"
Du Qi's heart skipped a beat. He did not stop running and did not answer Fann Wencong's question. He only called out, "Follow me!"
