Chapter 298
After Lu chaoxi was done with the three of them, he had to go and see what the enemy was up to.
Without much effort, he found the location of the formation that had ambushed the flying boat.
It wasn’t far, but there was still a distance.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for an ordinary array to affect a place that was too far away. However, when he saw it for himself, Lu Qing could not help but be a little speechless. The array master among the attackers was really original. His idea was very unique and very effective.
He set up the formation in a spirit vein.
This spirit vein seemed to be a level-three spirit vein.
Of course, a level-three spirit Meridian had an owner. The original owner of this place seemed to be from a small sect with a few foundation building cultivators at most. They were lucky enough to occupy this level three spirit vein. Perhaps it was because there were no initial enlightenment cultivators in the vicinity who needed this spirit vein, so no one came to chase them away. Otherwise, with the strength of this small sect, it would definitely not be able to defend it.
This was their fortune, but also their misfortune.
This spirit vein was too close to the northern and southern trade routes. It could even be considered a high-grade spirit vein that was the closest to the trade routes.
This group of bandits might have targeted them because of this.
Of course, Lu Qing was only guessing. However, he guessed that he was not far from the truth. Because there were many corpses lying here, they had died less than two days ago and had been simply cleaned up, so they should be the original owners of the spirit vein.
The reason why this array master was so original was because the array he had set up used the entire spirit vein.
In a narrow sense, the spiritual vein referred to the source of the spiritual vein, the area with the densest spiritual Qi, which was suitable for cultivators to cultivate.
But that didn’t mean that the range of a spirit vein was limited. Of course, the concentration of spirit Qi in the core area of a level-three spirit vein could reach the level of level-three, but it didn’t mean that there would be no spirit Qi after leaving the core area. In fact, the concentration of spiritual Qi in the surrounding areas was gradually declining.
The decay radius of a level-three spiritual pulse was quite large. At least, when the flying boat flew over, it was close to the area where the level-three spiritual pulse had been reduced to between level two and level one.
In a broad sense, this area was also covered by the level three spirit Meridian.
The array master in front of him had used the power of the spiritual vein to set up the array. Under normal circumstances, the only thing that could activate the power of the spiritual pulse was something like the mountain-protecting formation. However, setting up the mountain-protecting formation was very time-consuming and very costly.
However, he didn’t need to borrow the power of the Spirit vein. He only needed to borrow the meridians of the spirit vein to release the power of the array to the entire area covered by the spirit vein without any damage.
The lightning strikes that struck the Flying Ship were essentially the spiritual energy of the hundreds of cultivators in the array. The function of a spiritual vein was to allow a lightning strike to form anywhere within the range of a spiritual vein.
It was also because of this array that they were able to complete their ambush plan. Otherwise, if the five initial enlightenment cultivators were to catch up on the flying shuttle, it would be quite difficult to break the protective array of the flying boat. There might be some variables.
There were more than a hundred cultivators in the formation, but most of them were Qi refining cultivators. There were four to five foundation building cultivators and four initial enlightenment cultivators.
In an ordinary battle, the meditational and Foundation establishment stage decorations were not enough to look at in a battle at the initial enlightenment stage, and there was no need to worry about it. However, he still had to pay attention in this battle. After all, they had a ready-made formation here. If Lu Chaohe and the others were to attack, the foundation building and Qi refining cultivators could still pose a certain threat to the initial enlightenment cultivators by controlling the power of the formation.
However, no matter what, this battle had to be fought. Furthermore, Lu Qing had sent a message to Lu Chaohe, asking him to try his best to capture some survivors.
These people would definitely be slaughtered. They would definitely pay the price for robbing the Lu clan’s ship and killing their people.
But more importantly, he had to find out who the mastermind was.
Lu Qing had the same thoughts as his son. He did not believe that these people were just ordinary bandits who had come for money. A wealth of more than 100000 was indeed alluring. However, Lu Qing did not believe that five initial enlightenment cultivators would appear for this, and one of them was even at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage.
Besides, how could ordinary robbers be so easy to predict and ambush on the flight route?
As he was thinking, Lu Chaohe and the other two had already gotten closer.
When the three of them got close, the people in the formation had already noticed them. Under Lu Qing’s observation, the entire formation started to light up. There was energy accumulating within it.
Lu Qing quickly transmitted his voice to Lu Chaohe, who then relayed the message to the other two people.
They began to Dodge, and the lightning bolts that gathered above their heads missed.
It was actually very easy to Dodge, but the flying boat was large and inflexible, so it couldn’t avoid the lightning strike. However, cultivators were small targets and agile. After being warned in advance, they began to fly over while making irregular movements, which easily made the lightning array lose its target.
Lu Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the target of the formation was the three of them. He was really a little afraid. These people did not care about the three initial brightness cultivators who were approaching and chose to continue bombarding the swift Boat. If that happened, he might have to bleed again and spend a lot of karma to settle the matter. He did not want the swift Boat to be destroyed.
The Flying Ship itself was worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, not to mention the cultivators from the various clans and sects on board.
However, this was also normal. After all, everyone would want to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with the other party’s high-end combat power. If he killed Lu Chaohe and the other two, wouldn’t he be able to deal with the remaining small fry easily?
Unfortunately, they had failed.
When the three of them got closer and discovered the formation, Lu mingling was the one who could not wait the most.
This guy had just obtained the power of the initial enlightenment stage and was currently very angry with no place to vent. When he saw his target, he controlled his lightning spell from afar and blasted a yang lightning curse.
The formation that was temporarily constructed for the purpose of long-range bombardment had no defensive means. Helplessly, one of the initial enlightenment cultivators in the array noticed the Yang lightning curse and cast it. He threw out a shield that was originally the size of a palm.
The shield expanded in size in the face of the wind, instantly becoming the size of a house and firmly blocking the Yang lightning curse.
