The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

At that time, Xiao Ling had not yet fully accepted the fact that Chen Subaru's clone was her. She was too busy covering up her young body to care about him, let alone fight back against the clone.

After Chen Subaru returned to the Jin Dynasty, he not only quickly understood the Ice Sword Domain, but also created the Sky Ice Sword Domain on his own, and improved the Liangyi Dixiang Tianji Sword Formation that could be used by a single person. His swordsmanship talent is astonishingly high. Now he is only one step away from the master level. The opportunity is right in front of him. What he lacks is enough practical experience.

Although twenty layers of spiritual consciousness were superimposed to scan the target area from different angles, the observation of details was still not as detailed as what the monks could see with their eyes. For example, ordinary monks can discover how many mice are hidden in a mouse hole through their spiritual consciousness, but they cannot distinguish the details of each mouse. Chen Subaru's twenty-fold spiritual consciousness can distinguish the rough outline of a mouse and the number of bones in the mouse's body. However, the monk's vision can observe the texture of the mouse's fur by distinguishing colors. This is something that spiritual consciousness cannot replace. of.

Therefore, even if Chen Subaru eliminates most potential ambush risks through his spiritual consciousness, he cannot obtain information such as mortal letters through his spiritual consciousness. The most terrible thing is that he cannot detect in advance those formation patterns that are not activated at all. , you can only go in person for further identification.

In the world of immortality, although spiritual consciousness is powerful, it also has its limitations. In order to solve this problem, immortal cultivators have developed many coping strategies. The most common method is to send monks carrying reconnaissance instruments. They will convey what they see and hear to their companions through talismans, recording jade talismans, spiritual sound transmission, etc. In addition, there are magical instruments specially used for investigation. Monks only need to remotely control these instruments to observe and record the scenes around the instruments.

Since the Saints have absorbed monks from multiple ethnic groups, their beast-taming techniques have been enriched and developed. This technology of the demon clan not only allows spirit beasts to become combat partners, but also trains spirit beasts that can conduct covert reconnaissance. Such spiritual beasts are difficult to detect during reconnaissance, bringing a higher success rate to reconnaissance missions.

It is said that some special monks have practiced a mysterious skill called pupil technique, which can not only see into illusions, but also significantly expand the range of vision. These monks are also relatively rare among the Saint Clan. In the documents of the Jin Dynasty, there is no record of monks practicing eye skills.

Chen Subaru has been standing still for a while, he seemed a little hesitant. He signaled to Su Lingyin behind him, asking her to lead the other monks to find a hidden valley to ambush and not to act rashly. As for him, he slowly moved forward, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

The main reason why he made such a move was that he was now close to the temporary stronghold where the main monks of his side had settled, but he did not receive any message from the elders of the Transformation God. He used his spiritual consciousness to find the location of the monks' temporary stronghold. The number of people did not decrease, but there was no message from the elders, which made Chen Subaru more vigilant.

Sensing the strangeness in Chen Subaru's mood, Xueer sent a voice message and asked, "Master, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Chen Subaru responded slowly: "We are about to arrive at the scheduled assembly point. Although I don't like these cumbersome etiquette, the elders of the Transformation God usually give a brief introduction to the current situation through voice transmission before I arrive. However, even though I have already I deliberately slowed down, but still didn't receive any transmission. The abnormality made me feel uneasy."

Xueer asked worriedly: "So, are the monks in the stronghold okay?"

Chen Subaru replied: "The patrols, open sentries, and hidden sentries on the periphery are all operating normally, and the surrounding spiritual energy shows no signs of disorder."

Xueer reminded: "Master, although your spiritual consciousness is powerful, it may not be sensitive enough to the changes in the five elements' energy because you cannot use other spells. If the other party does not use the rough method of the demon soldiers to disrupt the spiritual energy, but instead Using more subtle laws, then the divine consciousness may not be able to detect the abnormality.”

The plan of Gu Yixin and the demon species flashed through Chen Subaru's mind. He said to Xue'er with his mind: "I will use my spiritual consciousness to control the Liangyi Tianbing Sword to conduct reconnaissance. When you get close, let go of the sword domain and use the laws of yin and yang to carefully investigate. Fan."

Following his command, the Liangyi Tianbing Sword flew out silently. Under the control of Chen Subaru's powerful spiritual consciousness, this sword can show the power of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, due to the long distance, the ice sword domain exerted by Xue'er cannot be maintained for long, and it needs to be replenished frequently with spirit stones.

When Xueer's sword domain expanded to the edge of the temporary stronghold where the main monks gathered, she hurriedly sent back the message through her senses: "Master, the situation is indeed different! The camp is filled with a strong aura of law, the yin and yang in my sword domain The Law is suppressed and cannot be fought. Oops! They found me."

Xueer's telepathy transmission speed was much faster than ordinary sound transmission. Chen Subaru immediately sensed that she was in danger, and at the same time noticed that the monks in the temporary stronghold were rushing towards her.

Chen Subaru quickly recalled Xue'er and skillfully guided her around, finally passing through the safe passage of the gate of Yin and Yang, allowing Xue'er to return safely.

His control over the gates of Yin and Yang has reached a superb level, and he can even adjust the spiritual power output according to the size of the object, so that the passage can accommodate a sword. Even so, completing this process still consumed nearly one and a half percent of his spiritual energy. After ensuring Xue'er's safe return, Chen Subaru waited quietly, planning the next action in his mind.

After Xue'er flew out of the white door, she saw Chen Subaru and immediately sent a message: "Master, the five hundred monks there are all controlled by the power of the law. However, it seems that those who operate the power of the law cannot fully control it. Among all the monks, I observed that the coordination among the two hundred monks chasing me was very poor, and there were even cases where monks bumped into each other. However, it cannot be ruled out that the other party deliberately exposed a flaw to lure us into the trap. .”

Chen Subaru's brows furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in his voice: "Have you found out who controls those monks?"

Xue'er replied: "The power of the law is chaotic and disorderly, and I have no way of detecting the location of the controller. But considering that the controller's control is so poor, remote spiritual control may be difficult to achieve. She should have passed through at close range. Use visual inspection to adjust the monk’s actions.”

Chen Subaru's eyes involuntarily turned to where Su Lingyin was hiding, and he whispered to Xue'er: "The situation is still unclear. If we attack rashly, it will only cause more casualties. Maybe we should... "

Before he could finish his words, suddenly, strong spiritual energy fluctuations erupted from the place where the five hundred monks had stayed.

At the same time, Chen Subaru received an urgent message from an Elder of Transformation God: "Young Master Wen Ruo, we were attacked by unknown enemies. Among the enemies were four monks in the Transformation Realm and a mysterious woman. . Elder Zhou and I were unfortunately attacked by them. Elder Zhou unfortunately fell seriously injured. I was also suppressed by them and could not raise the alarm in time. Fortunately, Elder Zhou used the trick of feigning death and suddenly self-destructed while the enemy was negligent, resulting in the law of The explosion of force allowed me to escape. Now, several demon soldiers are approaching us. The most I can do is hold them here for a moment. Young Master Wenruo, you don’t have to worry about the monks in the temporary stronghold. Evacuate immediately and remove all the monks here. Inform Elder Qin of the situation as soon as possible."

In an emergency, Elder Huashen quickly conveyed key information to Chen Subaru and urgently urged him to evacuate quickly. Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Subaru immediately gave Su Lingyin the order to return to Feizhou Camp at full speed through sound transmission.

Su Lingyin was far away from Chen Subaru and knew nothing about what happened. While she was directing the monks to retreat quickly, she asked confusedly through the sound transmission: "Young Master Wenruo, what happened?"

Chen Subaru's speed did not slow down. He replied: "Elder Su, the assembly point ahead has been captured. We must return to the Feizhou camp as soon as possible to deploy defenses."

Su Lingyin realized that this was not the time to discuss the details, so she did not continue to ask, but concentrated on directing the monks to retreat quickly to the Feizhou camp.

Xue'er asked with some confusion: "Master, we haven't been discovered yet, and we haven't detected any situation. Why do we have to return in a hurry? This seems a bit too hasty."

Chen Subaru replied solemnly: "I am eager to return, not because I am worried about being discovered by the enemy, but because I am worried about the formation set up by Elder Qin and others. How long can the formation last without the help of the two god-forming monks?"

Xue'er immediately understood Chen Subaru's worries and said: "You are worried that the monks who lured the enemy failed to evacuate in time. Once the formation fails, they will be surrounded by demon soldiers and eventually become the prey of those vicious creatures. Is it right?"

Chen Subaru stopped communicating with Xue'er, and both of them fell into silence.

When about half a stick of incense was left in a group of more than eighty people in a hurry, the stronghold where the controlled monk was located once again erupted with strong spiritual energy fluctuations.

At the same time, the binding power of the formation in Tongren also began to shrink sharply, and the spiritual energy returned to the world. The demon soldiers who were tricked by the suspicious soldiers in the formation finally began to show their ferocious fangs.

Chen Subaru, Su Lingyin and others were flying on the road and immediately felt the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, but they did not slow down and had no intention of stopping to find out what was going on.

When he was still halfway to Feizhou Camp, Chen Subaru received a message from Elder Qin. Elder Qin's voice was a bit low and tired: "Young Master Wenruo, you guessed it right. Our formation has been defeated. Fortunately, you foresaw it correctly, and we have withdrawn most of our scattered troops. But now, there is no Without the cover of the large formation, the monks' position was completely exposed to the demon soldiers. If we want to regroup and establish a new line of defense, we need more than just time."
