"The time has come, we can make our move!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ping nodded and concealed his aura, cautiously following Meng Yan's figure as they stepped onto Heaven-Supporting Mountain.

"Although Meng Yan seems to have control over the situation, we still need to proceed with caution!" Qi Ping quietly reminded himself.

The Cyan Origin Sect could use ruins or abodes to set traps, and other sects might also employ such strategies to counterattack Cyan Origin Sect disciples.

After all, those twin witches, known as the Black and White Double Assassins, must possess extraordinary tactics.

There's always a chance of them countering Meng Yan without knowing their style.

The Immortal Cultivation Realm remains exceedingly dangerous; a slight misstep can lead to death and the end of one's path, especially for the impulsive Loose Cultivators, sometimes naive to the point of being foolish.

You might think you're the mantis hunting the cicada, but how can you know if there's not an oriole lurking behind you?

Fortunately, the Heaven-Supporting Mountain is abundant in trees, significantly enhancing Qi Ping's perception as a Jungle Druid.

Along with his Natural Perception talent, Qi Ping's chance of falling into a dire situation is slim.

The complex terrain also serves as an ideal escape environment for the Transformed Bee.

...

Following Meng Yan for roughly over ten miles, Meng Yan's pace suddenly slowed, becoming exceedingly cautious.

He glanced at Qi Ping, who nodded in understanding.

They were nearly there!

Qi Ping felt even more tense, as this would be his first battle against such sect-embedded talents.

After a cautious walk, they heard the sound of arrays being bombarded from ahead.

Yet as they looked forward, all they saw was an ordinary-looking cliff face.

"This must be the outer illusion array Meng Yan mentioned..."

This was Qi Ping's first encounter with such a high-level illusion array, which left him deeply shocked.

From both Divine Soul and naked eye perspectives, it felt no different from the surrounding forest environment.

This heightened Qi Ping's expectations for arrays.

He desired to learn such Immortal Cultivation Techniques!

For Qi Ping, it was far more beneficial than alchemy, where bees could serve as substitutes, but arrays had to be deployed by Qi Ping himself.

The key was that arrays could protect oneself and one's territory! Illusion Arrays, trapping arrays, Killing Arrays, Defense Arrays—all were highly desired by Qi Ping...

"Once I gain a Divine Soul Talent and settle the matter of breaking into Foundation Establishment, then I can study arrays..."

Druids are close to the natural world, and arrays often borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth; of the four Immortal Cultivation Techniques, arrays are likely the most suitable path for a Druid.

Though the Divine Soul and physical form couldn't discover such an illusion array, the Druid's intuition still led Qi Ping to notice that the array location ahead differed from the ordinary natural environment.

...

"Qi Brother, beyond the array is the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's abode. Those people should be attacking the array now; temporarily, there's no other disturbance, so if there's no issue, we can head straight in..."

Meng Yan glanced at the peculiar black stone in his hand and spoke softly to Qi Ping.

"Alright, Meng Brother, can you pinpoint their location inside?"

"That I cannot..." Meng Yan shook his head.

"Then shall I scout ahead? If all's clear, we can head directly in!"

Qi Ping said, taking out around ten ordinary Golden Marrow Bees from his Storage Bag to show Meng Yan.

After a glance, Meng Yan nodded in agreement.

"It's doable, much obliged, Qi Brother!"

Upon receiving affirmation, Qi Ping sent the ten Golden Marrow Bees rushing in, following Meng Yan's indicated position and path.

After a winding route, the Golden Marrow Bees successfully passed through the illusion realm.

Beyond the array, the Golden Marrow Bees entered a seemingly expansive cavern.

A man and two women appeared in the Golden Marrow Bees' view; they were jointly assaulting a Defense Array within the cavern.

As Meng Yan mentioned, the two women and a man all emitted late-stage Qi Refining auras.

Other than that, there was nothing else within the spacious cavern.

Having confirmed no other dangers, the Golden Marrow Bees reported the situation beyond the illusion array to Qi Ping.

"Meng Brother, inside are just two women and one man—no other threats detected."

"Good! Once in, I'll handle the witches first, and you and Yaya can take down the Celestial Fire Pavilion disciple before assisting me!"

"Alright!"

With that, the two rushed into the illusion array.

...

As the Golden Marrow Bees breached the illusion array and entered the cavern, the witch duo and the Celestial Fire Pavilion disciple immediately noticed the intruding bees.

The sudden appearance of the bees made them feel uneasy.

They wouldn't let their guard down just because the intruder was a few bees.

How could mere bees breach the illusion array unscathed?

It had taken them considerable effort to enter!

Something unforeseen must have occurred, prompting them to each ingest a Qi Replenishing Pill and ready themselves.

Simultaneously, one of the witches unleashed a massive Sword Qi, instantly slaying the ten still Tier One Intermediate Golden Marrow Bees.

"Damn it! We're being watched!" one of the white-clad witches exclaimed.

"It's a trap! Didn't you say you had already explored here before?" the black-clad witch furiously turned to the Celestial Fire Pavilion disciple.

"I did come here last time, and nothing unexpected occurred, so I brought you, thinking it was safe!" the red-robed Celestial Fire Pavilion man explained with a furrowed brow.

"Then it's likely directly aimed at us... possibly from Meng..."

However, before the white-clad witch could finish, Meng Yan's towering and burly figure came through the illusion array, appearing before their eyes.

The witches' faces darkened significantly—caught in a trap!

Meng Yan had been waiting for them to take the bait!

Last time, they had teamed up to catch Meng Yan off guard, barely escaping.

They harbored a deep sense of dread regarding Meng Yan's formidable strength...

Upon passing through the illusion array, Meng Yan wasted no words; in an instant, a Top Grade Magical Artifact Hammer materialized in his hand, terrifying True Meaning of Fire swirling around it, and immense pressure bore down directly upon them.

Then Meng Yan, wielding the hammer with the agility of a Sword Cultivator, unleashed a terrifying and forceful blow that made the three's faces change drastically!

As Qi Ping followed closely behind, witnessing Meng Yan's overwhelming might, he was extremely astounded.

Meng Yan's combat prowess was indeed extraordinary!

Seeing Meng Yan engage directly without hesitation, Qi Ping followed suit, releasing Yaya, simultaneously deploying the Flame Burst Body Technique and Flame Burst Technique, charging at the Celestial Fire Pavilion male like a cannonball...
