Chapter 47 A Critical Moment

Night fell quickly.

The weather tonight was quite unusual. The sun was shining brightly throughout the day, but in the evening the wind suddenly picked up, and thick clouds appeared in the sky, blocking all the moonlight.

The seven people who had discussed matters during the day gathered together again at the entrance of an alley in the 'Si' district.

In order to maintain confidentiality, they communicated with each other using voice transmission.

"Third and fourth, are you sure you can see clearly that all the monks from the patrol team responsible for patrolling here today have gone back?"

"Boss, it's absolutely true. Not only are the numbers correct, but the appearance is also correct. They are definitely right."

"That's good, but just in case, you'd better go to the alley to investigate again. It's still early anyway, so be careful and you won't make a big mistake."

"Yes, brother."

After hearing the order, the third-ranked monk did not move. Instead, the fourth-ranked monk took out a pure black robe from the storage bag and put it on himself.

Then he saw his mana gathered in his palms, gently touched the robe, and then something incredible happened.

The fourth child who was originally standing in front of several people disappeared in full view of the crowd.

But judging from everyone's reactions, it seems that they have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

It turns out that this special robe was left to him by Lao Si's ancestors. It has no defensive or offensive power at all. It has only one function, which is to isolate the monks below the foundation from all kinds of exploration.

No matter you look at it with your naked eyes or scan it with your spiritual consciousness, you can't find any clues.

The reason why they were able to commit crimes successfully every time before was because of the robe of the fourth child.

In the past, their crime process was to first select a target, preferably a monk who lived alone, and then start to grasp the rules of his life. After all these were understood clearly.

One of the few people would choose one, pretend to be his friend, open the door, and let the fourth child take the opportunity to enter. Then he would pretend to have found the wrong person, apologize and leave.

Because they always knock on the monk's door at noon, when people are coming and going in the alley, usually the monks will open the door to see who is looking for them, so they have robbed many people in this way.

But slowly, as this happened more and more, the monks became more cautious, and this method gradually became unworkable.

They then changed from cooperating inside and outside to forcing entry into the house. Anyway, the monks in the outer area were of low cultivation. As long as they caught their eye, they would basically die.

However, although the method of committing crimes has changed, Lao Si's invisibility robe can still play a great role.

The day before and the night of each attack, Lao Si would wear his invisibility robe and patrol the alley where the target of the attack lived, as well as several nearby alleys, to prevent being ambushed.

This is also the reason why they have committed many crimes nearby. The patrol team and the Liu family and other three forces have ambushed them many times and tried to deal with them, but all failed.

Three quarters of an hour passed quickly before the fourth child showed his true colors again amidst everyone's eagerly awaited waiting.

"How's it going?"

The person who spoke this time was the second child.

"Don't worry. I've looked everywhere, even to the toilet. There's no sign of an ambush."

"That's good, let's set off now and fight quickly!"

The boss gave the order, and several people, led by Lao Qi, went straight into the alley, because this time the target was his choice.

Soon the group of people arrived ten feet away from Xu Feng and Liang Lao's wooden house. Their position was chosen very accurately, just outside the range of the spiritual consciousness of the ninth-level Qi Refining monks.

"Old Qi, are you sure this is where it is?"

The boss wants to make one final confirmation.

"That's right, it's right here, that's right."

There was a trace of cruelty and bloodlust in Lao Qi's eyes, and he spoke through the voice.

But when he looked at the wooden house on the left, there was a touch of memory and warmth in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness.

"Okay, in that case, everyone listen to my order. The second, third, and fifth brothers and I will attack the wooden house on the right. The one on the left belongs to you, third, sixth, and seventh."

As soon as the words fell, several people divided into two teams with very skillful cooperation, and then each took out their most powerful magic weapon from the storage bag, and then poured mana into it.

At the same time, Xu Feng, who was in the room, was practicing his own spells. After practicing thousands of times, his golden arrow skills had become somewhat mature.

He once experimented with a wooden shield talisman he drew. After one blow, the spiritual shield formed by the talisman would crack, and after two strikes, the shield formed by the talisman would completely dissipate.

This attack power is already pretty good, and it is currently the only attack method he can use.

As for the other one, of course it is his flying sword. After a period of practice, he has become relatively proficient in the art of controlling objects that can only be practiced in the middle stage of Qi refining.

Although it is impossible to control the flying sword to perform extremely difficult movements, it is possible to command the flying sword to stab straightly, as well as to chop horizontally and vertically.

Besides, Mr. Liang, who lives next door to him, is in the advanced stage of Qi refining and can no longer sleep. He is currently meditating on a futon.

Suddenly, he felt a little uneasy, as if he was being watched by someone for no reason, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"No, something must be happening!"

He opened his eyes suddenly, then quickly walked to his daughter's bed, then gently shook her arm, and then whispered:

"Wan'er, wake up quickly, don't sleep anymore."

"What time is it, father? Why does it get up so early today?"

Liang Wan'er asked sleepily, half awake.

"It's not yet dawn, so it's time for talent."

Originally, she heard her father asking her to get up, and although she was reluctant, she was ready to get up. However, as soon as she heard this, the scholar immediately turned over and wanted to go back to sleep.

"Don't sleep, Wan'er, Jie Xiu is here."

"Jie Xiu, where is Jie Xiu?"

Facts have proved that Jie Xiu is still very powerful. Liang Wan'er sat up immediately, then looked around and asked.

"Just outside, go and knock on the wall as agreed so that Fellow Daoist Xu can be prepared."

If the uneasiness just now was just a premonition, the magic weapon emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations outside at this moment has proved this to be a fact.

"Dong dong dong!"

Liang Wan'er followed her father's order and first knocked on the wall to warn Xu Feng. Then she took out a stack of talismans and held them tightly in her hands, ready to inspire at any time without showing a trace of fear on her face.

Xu Feng was horrified when he heard the three knocks. He stood up immediately. He originally wanted to go to the partition wall to re-confirm whether the message was transmitted correctly. However, he only took two steps away when he heard huge bangs. The sound of explosions came from outside the house.

"Boom!"

It was like thunder.

This is when the Seven Tribulation Cultivators outside officially take action.

Several people fired a blow and were already preparing to rush into the room, because according to past experience, the monks in the room at this moment were either dead or seriously injured.

Even a ninth-level Qi-refining monk like Mr. Liang would definitely be harmed by a full-force attack from the three of them, either intentionally or unintentionally.

But a surprising scene happened. When their attack was still three feet away from the wooden house, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. It was like a stone thrown into the lake and completely disappeared.

But in just a blink of an eye, the attacks they launched each came towards them exactly as they were.

The boss, who had the highest level of cultivation among the group of people and also had the most extensive experience, dodged his own rebounded attack and directly transmitted a message to the group of people:

"Brothers, be careful, someone has set up a formation here."

In fact, at this time, there was no need for him to explain anything, and the other people had basically guessed everything.

Looking at the crumbling formation mask after suffering a blow, the boss was heartbroken and gave an order directly:

"Brothers, although this formation is weird, our blow just now has partially destroyed it. I believe that as long as we hit it with all our strength again, this formation will definitely break."

"But brother, why did we choose this place as our target tonight and it is protected by the formation? I suspect there is a fraud here. How about we retreat first and then make a long-term plan."

"No, second brother, the eldest brother is right. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can't miss it. Don't you want the inheritance of alchemy?"

Lao Qi tried his best to stop them. Everyone had the intention to retreat, but after hearing his temptation, they were ready to fight again.

But what happened next surprised and delighted them.

Fortunately, under this full-force attack, the formation was indeed unable to withstand it, and the light shield dissipated directly.

What surprised them was that more than a dozen figures suddenly descended from the sky and appeared behind them. The leader had already begun to persuade them to surrender.

"The robbery cultivator ahead, quickly put down the magic weapon in your hand, and surrendered obediently. If you dare to say even half a word, you will be left to die without a burial place."
