Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 228 - 138: The Enemy Comes Knocking, Flee First, Ask Later (3)
Escaping through the earth from here is very likely to be discovered by the Foundation Establishment cultivators above.
However, right now, the Foundation Establishment cultivators are all gathered due to the Yin Demon Sect’s attack.
As long as I keep a distance and they are not specifically paying attention, I shouldn’t be discovered.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning immediately felt it was worth a try.
Even if discovered, I could simply say I’m worried about the Yin Demon Sect breaking in and ending up in the hands of demonic cultivators, so I’m preparing to hide first.
After a brief consideration, Chu Ning grabbed a handful of Earth Escape Talismans from his Storage Bag.
This Basic Middle Grade Talisman was crafted by him, and he had plenty in his Storage Bag.
Chu Ning held one, and then said to Ling Xiao:
"Xiaobai, I will take you along to earth escape to the restriction. You must quickly take me out of this cave mansion.
And during the earth escape, keep an eye out for any restrictions underground and inform me in advance so I can avoid them."
Chu Ning had to be cautious, as some people’s cave mansions in the Inner Sect might have restrictions.
Although such restrictions may not extend too deep underground, it’s better to avoid triggering them.
Currently, Chu Ning’s only worry was whether he would be detected by He Litao outside when he used an Earth Escape Talisman to leave Xin Wuya’s cave mansion.
But at this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t care less, and just had to try it first.
He still had the Forbidden God Technique, and since He Litao was just a Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivator, he shouldn’t be able to sense Chu Ning’s presence.
After carefully thinking it through again to ensure he hadn’t overlooked anything,
Chu Ning prepared to execute his plan.
In the next moment, he quickly put Ling Xiaobai into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Then he sat back down, feigning a bored look.
And as he completed these actions, He Litao appeared outside the stone chamber.
After casting a glance at Chu Ning, He Litao turned and left.
Shortly after, realizing He Litao should have gone far, Chu Ning no longer hesitated and swiftly cast the Forbidden God Technique.
At the same time, his magical power surged, directly activating an Earth Escape Talisman.
Immediately, a pale yellow protective shield enveloped Chu Ning, and in the next moment, he slipped below the stone chamber with Ling Xiaobai.
They delved about two zhang deep.
"We’re here!"
Ling Xiaobai’s telepathy resonated in Chu Ning’s mind.
He immediately dispersed the Earth Escape Talismans’ shield, and a white light emerged from Ling Xiaobai’s head, enveloping Chu Ning.
The next moment, Ling Xiaobai, together with the white light, plunged rapidly underground.
"Have we passed through the restriction?"
As the white light dissipated, Chu Ning felt he was beneath the earth, and immediately activated another Earth Escape Talisman.
Then, according to the remembered direction on the surface, he began escaping.
Chu Ning still chose the eastern direction because the Yin Demon Sect members were coming from the northwest, and the Inner Sect’s field was also on the west side.
Therefore, the eastern side should be devoid of anyone.
"This Inner Sect has such a multitude of cave mansion restrictions."
As he moved underground, Chu Ning couldn’t help but internally complain.
The cave mansions of cultivators within this inner sect not only are numerous but all have array restrictions.
Some, like Xin Wuya’s, don’t extend too deeply, but others have array restrictions that extend to unknown depths.
Chu Ning could only take detours to avoid them.
However, he vaguely understood that people like Xin Wuya likely didn’t need to plant Spirit Plants or Medicines.
Whereas those with deeply extended restrictions likely planted something to avoid affecting the growth of Spirit Plants or triggering restrictions due to root growth.
Thus setting the restriction bases rather deep.
But this resulted in tremendous inconveniences for Chu Ning’s earth escape.
Amid constant evasions, his path had veered far from his initial plan.
Moreover, at this time, he couldn’t surface to verify directions and could only roughly keep using earth escape techniques in one direction.
Vaguely, Chu Ning could also sense ground tremors.
If nothing else, it might be caused by the battle between two sects.
This made Chu Ning more anxious.
After all, the Earth Escape Talismans were Basic Middle Grade Talismans; each escape didn’t cover much distance, and the speed wasn’t quick either.
The short distance can still be managed with Chu Ning having plenty of Earth Escape Talismans, but the slowness was indeed a problem.
Chu Ning wasn’t sure how many earth escape talismans he had used, nor how far he had traveled.
Until Ling Xiaobai let out a "hee" noise.
"Another restriction?"
Chu Ning merely muttered, reacting quickly with slight delight:
"We’ve reached the Sect Protection Array’s edge?"
"Hee!" Ling Xiaobai chirped.
Seeing this, Chu Ning didn’t rush to go out directly, but rather said to Ling Xiaobai:
"Xiaobai, first go out and check whether there are any cultivators present.
Be cautious, and avoid sticking your head above ground if there are people, return immediately."
"Hee!" Ling Xiaobai replied, then rushed ahead directly.
Chu Ning vaguely saw a fluctuation in the array, but it soon returned to normal.
Chu Ning anxiously waited, and after a little while,
a white figure flashed, and Ling Xiaobai reappeared.
"There’s no one in this direction, but you don’t know which direction it is?"
Upon hearing Ling Xiaobai’s words, Chu Ning’s eyes slightly shimmered, but he nonetheless clenched his teeth.
"Xiaobai, take me out!"
In the depth of the Cyan Gorge Mountain Range, there might be dangers, like some demon beasts.
But having just left the sect’s range, he shouldn’t delve too deep, plus he still had some measures.
If he were to stay in the sect, these measures would be utterly unusable.
"Hee!"
Following Chu Ning’s instruction, Ling Xiaobai let out a gentle noise, and when Chu Ning withdrew the Earth Escape Talismans, instantly emitted a white light from overhead to envelop Chu Ning.
Immediately, one person and one beast vanished from within the Sect Protection Array.
