However, the figure escaped too quickly, and Lei Poshan and the others soon lost track of him.

This made Lei Poshan so angry that his face turned red, and he cursed inwardly that these junior members of his clan were too slow and were holding him back.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, a disciple hurriedly pointed in a direction and shouted, "Senior brother, I think I've spotted Ming Yijun again! There's another figure over there!"

The group immediately changed direction and gave chase. This time, Lei Poshan even spared no effort to expend his own spiritual power to speed up the disciples of the sect.

However, even so, when he arrived, Ming Yijun's figure had already disappeared from the place.

They lost Ming Yijun again.

Not long after, someone else discovered Ming Yijun's whereabouts.

But they quickly lost track of it again.

This happened several times, and all the disciples were exhausted. Many of them even used up their spiritual energy in order to keep going.

Even Lei Poshan couldn't help but curse, "That guy surnamed Ming is too arrogant! He actually dared to play us for fools! He's deliberately toying with us, trying to exhaust our spiritual energy!"

Just when everyone was exhausted, Ming Yijun suddenly appeared again.

However, this time was different from the past. Usually, only one figure would appear, but at this moment, the gray-blue figures appeared in all directions at the same time, endlessly!

Countless figures of Ming Yijun flashed past from behind each stone pillar, seemingly surrounding the crowd.

The disciples of each sect were terrified upon seeing this.

Someone said in a trembling voice, "Mingyi Jun... there's more than one! There are so many Mingyi Jun around!"

"Have we stumbled into some kind of formation? How come we see so many Ming Yijuns? Could we have entered an illusionary formation?"

However, Lei Poshan remained calm and gave a cold snort.

He doesn't care about any illusions; they're just tricks played by Ming Yijun anyway, so he's not afraid at all!

This time, he didn't bring his sect's disciples with him. Instead, he rushed out alone, heading towards the nearest Ming Yijun with lightning speed.

She reached out and grabbed him!

Just when he thought he had succeeded, an unexpected incident occurred.

The "Mingyi Jun" slowly disappeared from his hand, turning into a few particles of spiritual energy that dissipated in the surroundings.

Lei Poshan's expression immediately changed, and he turned around and shouted to his disciples, "We've been tricked! These are all illusions created by Ming Yijun! Don't try to capture these figures; they are all fakes made of spiritual energy!"

However, he spoke too late. Many daring cultivators had already tried to grab those figures, but unknowingly stepped into the surrounding array.

Screams echoed everywhere. Without exception, all the disciples who had been tricked into entering the formation were attacked and lost their lives!

The remaining cultivators' expressions changed drastically, realizing that Ming Yijun had actually lied to them.

Those "Mingyi Jun" figures that were released were just clones; they weren't the real person at all!

Just then, Ming Yijun's unrestrained and hearty laughter rang out from all around: "Hahahaha... Disciples of all sects, come and catch me! Let's see if you have the ability!"

"Thanks to your infighting, you bought me time to cultivate and heal my injuries here. Judging by the time, it should be about time for me to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. You just stay there and watch, I'll escape from this stone forest soon."

Upon hearing this, the disciples were greatly alarmed.

Is Mingyi planning to run away?

Indeed, with Nascent Soul cultivators from various sects rushing here, it's only natural that he would abandon the Stone Forest and choose to escape.

How could he succeed!

One of the cultivators mustered his courage and shouted loudly to the surroundings, "Mingyi Jun, come out here! What kind of skill is it to hide like this? If you have the ability, come out openly and honestly. Don't be like a coward, sneaking around and using tricks. Aren't you ashamed? Our True Lord is already on his way. When the True Lord arrives, let's see how arrogant you are!"

However, Ming Yijun's voice rang out again, tinged with a disdainful sneer.

"Honestly? How could that be? Knowing that a Nascent Soul cultivator is coming, who would be foolish enough to wait to die? I've already made up my mind to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I have millions of clones here; let's see if you can stop me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a disciple rushed up to Lei Poshan in a panic, stammering, "Senior Brother, something's happened! Several Mingyi Juns have suddenly emerged from all around the Stone Forest, numbering over a hundred, and are flying in all directions!"

Lei Poshan's expression changed, and he immediately left the stone forest, flying upwards. Sure enough, what the disciple said was true.

Hundreds of Ming Yijun's figures were flying away in all directions at high speed, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake!

Lei Poshan made a decisive move, ordering his own sect and disciples from other sects to "Quickly, everyone split into small teams and go after them! We must capture Ming Yijun and teach him a lesson!"

The group was stunned for a moment, but decided to follow Lei Poshan's orders and chase after the figures.

The cultivators paired up, each pair chasing after Ming Yijun's retreating figure, intending to shoot him down.

However, with hundreds of clones, who knows which one is the real one?

Instantly, two-thirds of the cultivators present scattered, no longer caring about breaking the formation.

Some of the faster cultivators even caught up with several of Ming Yijun and struck them down with a single blow. However, what they scattered were all clones composed of spiritual energy.

Lei Poshan frowned and looked around.

He was carefully observing which figure resembled the real Ming Yijun.

These clones are actually quite easy to identify because they are made of spiritual energy and cannot sense the presence of a real human. He can determine whether someone is a real person simply by their aura.

Just then, Luo Qinghuan unknowingly arrived beside Lei Poshan and asked in confusion, "Senior brother, Ming Yijun has already escaped. Why don't you go after those figures?"

Lei Poshan slowly said, "Junior Sister Luo, let me ask you this. If you were to find a safe place to break through your limits, do you think other places are safer, or is the Stone Forest safer?"

"If we were to choose the best place to break through, the Stone Forest would naturally be the best choice. It possesses the strongest array in the entire cultivation world, making it very difficult for outsiders to break through and enter. Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, it would take some time to break through these arrays. Therefore, guarding this place is essential."

Luo Qinghuan suddenly realized: "So Senior Brother believes that the real Ming Yijun is still in the Stone Forest?"

Lei Poshan nodded: "That's right. I don't believe he would abandon such a wonderful place and risk his life so easily. The fact that he released so many clones this time is probably just a smokescreen to lure away all the cultivators."

"But he's wrong. Even if those cultivators disperse, I won't leave. I'm just waiting for Ming Yijun to walk right into my trap. Once the True Lords arrive, he'll have nowhere to escape!"

After listening to Lei Poshan's analysis, Luo Qinghuan nodded repeatedly, her expression changing from initial doubt to sudden understanding.

He immediately showed admiration and flattered, "Senior brother is wise! What you say is absolutely right. Since you have decided to stay here, I will not chase after those clones."

After saying that, she stepped back behind Lei Poshan and stood beside him, waiting together for everyone to return.

In the distance, the cultivators were locked in a fierce battle with Ming Yijun's clone.

One by one, the clones were destroyed. Originally there were more than a hundred clones, but now there are only forty or fifty left.

The clones were ultimately slower than the main body, and those cultivators who had initially chased the wrong targets quickly realized this, turning back to pursue the remaining dozens of fast-moving figures. Each clone was followed by at least four or five cultivators.

However, some cultivators noticed that something was wrong.

After chasing the clones, they did not continue the pursuit, but returned to the outer edge of the stone forest and waited quietly, just like Lei Poshan.

They also firmly believe that the real Ming Yijun is still inside the Stone Forest and has not escaped.
