Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1398 - 628: Visitors from the Xu Family (2)

She vaguely remembered Ning Qi, but at that time, they only had a brief encounter, and she didn’t recall who he was.

"Who cares who he is, he’s probably just a lone wanderer."

"But tonight, when those creatures come in, he’s going to be our scapegoat."

Xu Qian chuckled and continued walking inside.

Xu Wanrou glanced at Ning Qi again before following him in.

"Master, I feel there’s something off about them."

Medicine Spirit whispered, "Look at their people; they all seem listless, as if something’s going on."

"Hmm, let them be."

"We just need to hold the fort here."

Ning Qi nodded and turned to look towards the city.

Xu Wanrou and her group had already entered the city.

After finding a few residences, they started setting up restrictions in the yards.

Simultaneously, they summoned their puppets, to guard the residences where they had set up restrictions.

"Master, what are they doing?"

Medicine Spirit looked at their actions, showing a puzzled look.

His eyes were tightly fixed on them.

"It feels... like they are waiting for the prey."

Ning Qi observed the crowd before him, frowning slightly: "These are usually hunting tactics, waiting for the prey to get caught."

"Or perhaps, it’s to confuse the enemy, making it hard for them to distinguish between real and fake."

"Yeah, is it because someone is hunting them?"

"It shouldn’t be against us, we’re just watching here."

Medicine Spirit shrugged, showing a puzzled expression.

"Hmm, no need to bother, but I think tonight we should go into our Inner Realm."

Ning Qi looked at the people ahead, suddenly his eyes lit up: "We will also set up a decoy here, then place memory spirit stones, and see what happens tonight."

"Great, that’s a good plan."

Medicine Spirit clapped his hands and began setting up.

He took out quite a few memory spirit stones from his storage bag.

Then found different corners and placed them, after placing them he even covered his lingering aura.

Ning Qi, on his side, had already called upon Shi Xiaokun.

After explaining the situation to him, he also placed a few puppets here.

With everything arranged neatly, the sky had completely darkened.

"Master, shall we go inside now?"

Medicine Spirit looked at the sky and proposed.

"Hmm, let’s go."

Ning Qi nodded, then along with Shi Xiaokun, entered their Inner Realm.

"If something happens in the outside world while we’re here, they won’t detect us, right?"

Medicine Spirit was a bit uneasy.

"No, this is a newly refined Inner Realm, not a Sumeru Space."

Shi Xiaokun said confidently: "Here, it’s impossible for us to be discovered."

"Alright, then let’s see what might happen tonight."

Medicine Spirit eased up, then looked around: "Let’s find a place to rest."

"No need to look, I’ve already created a mountain gate."

"Come and take a look!"

Shi Xiaokun said with a smile.

"Oh, you managed to build a mountain gate by yourself?"

Ning Qi asked with interest.

"Yes, everyone come and take a look."

Shi Xiaokun nodded, then led Ning Qi and Medicine Spirit onward.

Soon, they arrived at a mountain peak.

Here, a sizeable mountain gate had already appeared.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a towering stone gate, and stone steps led all the way to the summit.

There were caves halfway up the mountain, clearly fit for cultivation.

Halfway up, there were also pavilions, obviously places for Outer Sect disciples.

Further up was the summit, where there were three grand halls and some pavilions.

Clearly, this was the core area of the Sect.

"This is much better than those mountain gates in the outside world, just without people."

Medicine Spirit curiously inspected the surroundings upon arrival.

"Yes, but soon, we will be able to nurture the Human Race here."

"Once we take them in, we can train them."

Shi Xiaokun nodded, then continued: "This place will become the Holy Land of this realm in the future, their aspiration will be to cultivate here."

"Hmm, not bad."

Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction: "Come, activate the memory spirit stones, let’s see what’s happening outside."

Clearly, he wasn’t very interested in the sect.

What intrigued him more was what might transpire outside.

He always felt Xu Wanrou and her group must have issues.

"Alright, let’s do it here on the plaza."

Shi Xiaokun nodded and pointed in a direction: "We have a Restriction Array here too."

"Hmm, I’ll activate them."

Ning Qi nodded, then summoned the memory spirit stones.

He then activated them in the plaza.

"Hoo!"

"..."

More than a dozen memory spirit stones were activated simultaneously, the other halves were in the outside world.

After Ning Qi activated them, they connected with the outside.

In just a moment, the dozens of memory spirit stones began showcasing the exterior scenes around them.

Everything within a certain range faced by the memory spirit stones could be captured.

"Mine is activated too."

Besides Ning Qi, Medicine Spirit also activated the memory spirit stones he had placed.

Though not as many as Ning Qi’s, together they had over twenty.

Enough to gather scenes from in front and behind the city gate.

"Look, these people are getting tense."

Shi Xiaokun said, watching Xu Wanrou and her people: "They definitely have a problem."

"Hmm, if that’s the case, let’s see what happens next."

Ning Qi nodded with a smile.

"Master, look, there’s movement outside the city."

Medicine Spirit pointed at a memory spirit stone, clapping his hands: "How strange, they look like humans, but not quite."

"Demons? Not quite either."

Shi Xiaokun observed curiously.

"Should be creatures of this Inner Realm, let’s see what they do."

Ning Qi didn’t dwell on what they were, just watched these bizarre creatures attentively.

After they appeared, initially there were only a few, but in a blink, dozens emerged in the nearby woods.

That wasn’t all, after a while, hundreds appeared.

Their focus was on the city gate; upon gathering, they began charging towards the gate.

Each bore fangs and claws, clearly aware someone was inside.

"They’re after Xu family’s people."

Medicine Spirit pointed ahead, saying: "Seems they’re hiding from these demons’ pursuit."

"Hmm, regardless, we are safe."

Shi Xiaokun nodded, watching as the demons rushed to the city gate.

These demons, upon reaching the gate, leapt over the walls.

Their sharp claws embedded into the massive stones of the walls.

"Such sharp claws, these stones aren’t ordinary ones."

Ning Qi remarked at the scene, frowning: "These demons are truly formidable."

"Uh-oh, have they been discovered?"

Medicine Spirit pointed at his memory spirit stone.

At this moment, two demons were staring at his memory spirit stone.

Clearly visible were their fang-and-claw looks.

"No way, even if they sense a problem, they won’t break in, this is an Inner Realm."

Shi Xiaokun insisted confidently.

"Hoo."

Ning Qi suddenly felt the memory spirit stone vibrating.

"Tsk tsk, interesting, Medicine Spirit was right."

"They can indeed communicate with here, unexpected breathing sounds are entering."

He showed a serious look: "Stop activating your memory spirit stones."

"Yes."

Medicine Spirit hurriedly complied, restraining his Spiritual Qi.

Instantly, his memory spirit stones lost their sheen, returning to complete calm.

With that, the recently active memory spirit stones regained tranquility, devoid of any motion.

"Incredible, they can establish contact with our Inner Realm."

Shi Xiaokun exclaimed in surprise.
