Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1188 586: Three Gates, Three Openings (Part 3)

In the absence of a sense of direction, forcing oneself to believe there is one, Li Banfeng couldn't think of what technique to use.

Miss Jiufang said: "When I use this technique, I always trick myself by going downhill, circling the enemy, just planting three stakes. If it doesn't work once, try again, it's definitely doable."

Li Banfeng repeated Miss Jiufang's words dozens of times in his mind, shook his head and said: "It won't work, this slope isn't right, but I simply can't get down."

"Try another slope!"

Li Banfeng thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "No matter how I lay it, it's not right."

Jiufang thought for a while and continued: "You can try Ironclad Evidence as Firm as a Mountain, before using Thousand Mile In A Step, create three pivot points first. If you could do it before, you can do it again after, the evidence is right in front of you."

Li Banfeng thought for a long time but still shook his head.

This trick works for fooling others, but not for himself. After using Thousand Mile In A Step, things inevitably become different, no matter how much ironclad evidence is laid out, he still can't cross that mental barrier, nor can he use the Foolish Cultivation Technique.

Jiufang didn't know what to do either, she was anxious but dared not rush Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng pondered for a long time, then asked Jiufang: "Will this really work?"

"Yes, it will definitely work, once the array is completed, it can send them away."

"After they leave, won't they come back?"

"The array will send them very far away, in a day or two they won't be able to return. If Sun Tiecheng comes back during that time, have him change the city gate's position.

If Sun Tiecheng doesn't return, then take the townsfolk away, any number you can take, it doesn't matter if we lose the city, as long as they survive! Don't let them die again..."

Jiufang's voice was trembling so much that Li Banfeng couldn't hear several sentences clearly.

But there was one sentence he heard clearly and agreed with - they can't let them die again.

Li Banfeng went to the Fifth Room and asked the Lady of the Fifth Room to once again present the scene outside the Portable Residence.

The Lady of the Fifth Room hadn't fully regained her strength and could only hold on for a short while; Du Wenming and Mr. Kong Fang were still probing, their speed was basically right, now they just lacked direction.

With some accuracy in direction, these two could enter Fool's City.

Using the Dance Cultivator's steps, finding a direction is no hard task. Time was running out, and Li Banfeng could only bet once.

He dismantled a chair, removed three chair legs.

Going out looking for sticks isn't convenient, they must be prepared beforehand.

The gloves slipped out of his pocket, tugging on Li Banfeng's sleeve: "Master, you're not planning to try your luck, are you? Across is Mr. Kong Fang and Du Wenming; if you go out and blindly run around, crash into Mr. Kong Fang's hands, it would mean certain death."

Li Banfeng shook his head; of course, he couldn't go out and chance his luck.

The gloves suggested another idea: "Let's not use any array; it would be better to find an opportunity to use Thousand Mile In A Step to force him out."

Directly using Thousand Mile In A Step seemed easier, but the key question was who to force out?

Li Banfeng faced both Mr. Kong Fang and Du Wenming as opponents; he couldn't even distinguish direction, really couldn't tell who could be forced out, possibly not even one.

Even if he preemptively located Mr. Kong Fang through Old Luo and pushed him out, he would then be transported beside Old Luo, leaving Du Wenming to handle.

He found a rope, estimated its length to be about ten meters, and tied it around his arm.

The gloves pondered: "Master, do you want me to lead you in running? That might just be a plan."

If the gloves stayed with Li Banfeng, they too would lose direction; with a ten-meter distance, they should be able to find the sense of direction.

Yet, the gloves were still worried: "I don't run fast enough, afraid I won't make it in time to set up the array."

Thief Cultivation might act quickly, yet legs can't match the Traveling Cultivator, not to mention the gloves having no legs at all.

"It won't work letting you lead, need to swap with someone." Li Banfeng stood in the main room, took a deep breath, and used the Shadow Hanging Technique to summon the shadow out.

After a moment of staring at the shadow, Li Banfeng said deeply: "We're the same; just looking at body shape, there's no difference between us, but we also have differences. There're many things I can do that you can't."

The shadow silently watched Li Banfeng, not knowing what he meant by that.

Li Banfeng gave an example: "I can speak, which is something you can't."

The shadow crossed its arms, watched Li Banfeng, feeling "being able to speak" isn't some great accomplishment.

Li Banfeng's feet left the ground, levitating in the room: "I can fly, which is something you can't do either."

The shadow was puzzled; he didn't understand what Li Banfeng was boasting about; he then demonstrated a special skill, closely adhered to the ground to slip under and out of a box, with the box being merely two centimeters from the ground, thereby showing Li Banfeng something he couldn't do.

Li Banfeng didn't deny it: "Indeed that's something I can't do, so we're not the same. I've used the Thousand Mile In A Step Technique and failed to find direction, but the technique wasn't used by you, therefore you remain unaffected."

The shadow looked at Li Banfeng, although it showed no expression, Li Banfeng sensed the shadow's confusion.

Ironclad Evidence as Firm as a Mountain, coupled with inversion, made the technique effective.

Next came the most crucial step.

His wife always told Li Banfeng to master the technique; now he deeply felt his wife's intentions.

Whether he could use Thousand Mile In A Step while executing the Shadow Hanging Technique was the key to victory or defeat.
