Chapter 2210 - 2211: Hiding
"Setting up a formation?"Lin Chen had never seen someone set up a formation before. Now, witnessing Guo Zhi's serious demeanor and the oddly placed spirit stones, Lin Chen and the others felt incredibly astonished.
"Alright, stay here and don't move."
After a considerable time had passed, Guo Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, then came in from outside and sat beside Lin Chen and Sun Tianming.
"Is it... done?..."
Lin Chen looked around, but saw no difference. The spiritual energy in the originally placed spirit stones had dissipated, and this place had restored to its original appearance. Looking outward from here, there was not the slightest anomaly visible.
"Certainly, it's ready. Just wait and watch."
Guo Zhi chuckled lightly, unfazed by Lin Chen's confusion. He had long heard from Sun Tianming that Lin Chen was a cultivation fanatic, so he didn't know much about these matters.
"Brother Guo is an Array Master; setting up a formation for concealment purposes is achievable. You can rest assured and stay here."
Sun Tianming lightly smiled at the corner of his mouth, clearly more knowledgeable than Lin Chen.
Seeing this, Lin Chen finally relaxed, remaining quietly in the spot, quickly restoring his spiritual energy.
Whish!
Soon after, Lu Qiuming finally hurried over from afar. He stood before Lin Chen and the others, seemingly unable to see them. He turned his head, looking around, and his face showed a hint of bewilderment.
"The spiritual energy stopped here; could it have been eliminated already..."
Lu Qiuming pondered slowly; his spiritual energy, apart from being violent, could also track once it entered a body. This was why he had previously been fearless.
But now, the spiritual energy abruptly vanished here.
As if it disappeared into thin air, no matter how Lu Qiuming tried sensing, he couldn't feel it anymore.
"No, it shouldn't be that fast."
Lu Qiuming immediately shook his head, "Their strength is only at the Spirit Pill's third realm; they couldn't possibly do so quickly, unless someone else helped them."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qiuming made an assertive judgement. He had fought against them, knowing the depth of Lin Chen and Sun Tianming's strength. Recovering from injuries in such a short time was entirely impossible.
However, after lingering with futile thoughts at the original spot, Lu Qiuming didn't stay much longer and swiftly transformed into a beam of light, speeding away.
"He should have left by now..." Sun Tianming waited a long moment before sighing in relief.
"It's not that easy; let's wait a bit more."
Lin Chen squinted his eyes, ignoring Guo Zhi's surprised gaze. He directly looked at the direction Lu Qiuming had flown towards, thoughtfully.
He believed Lu Qiuming wouldn't leave this place so easily.
Seeing Lin Chen say this, Sun Tianming could only nod and patiently continue sitting inside, as his current injuries needed considerable rest.
However, being with Lin Chen, not knowing where Chen Jie was, made him extremely anxious.
After who knows how long, Lu Qiuming unexpectedly emerged from somewhere again in the distance, coldly scanning the forest, with a grim look on his face.
Eliminating his spiritual energy completely in a short time is possible by two means. One, being rescued by someone, but in this great tournament, unless one is closely bonded, no one would save others casually.
The second possibility is concealing the energy temporarily using a Secret Technique, but such techniques usually have temporal limitations, which is why Lu Qiuming waited patiently here.
However, considering the current scenario, Lin Chen and Sun Tianming clearly haven't vanished; they could only be rescued by someone.
Bam!
Thinking this, Lu Qiuming punched the ancient tree beside Lin Chen and the others, immediately causing leaves to rustle down, and after a creaking sound, the ancient tree fell backward.
Dust rose instantly.
"I want to see who in this sect dares oppose us!" Lu Qiuming laughed wildly; with his voice fading, his silhouette had vanished far away, completely disappearing from this spot.
"He should really be gone now."
Lin Chen brushed off the leaves stuck to his forehead and said calmly.
"This guy is indeed cautious..." Sun Tianming felt a chill; who would have thought he'd spend so much time here?
"Speaking of cautiousness, this Brother Lin truly is careful." Guo Zhi looked at Lin Chen with deep meaning; although Lin Chen appeared young, younger than himself, his handling of matters was extremely much experienced.
"He, huh, I don't know how he trains. Always staying home cultivating, yet somehow has rich combat experience... people say simple-minded, but he's not careless at all, always cautious." Sun Tianming shook his head, evaluating this way.
"Just seen too many things."
Lin Chen replied indifferently; naturally, his words were true. The experiences he'd gone through on Earth were not lesser, having gained considerable combat abilities there, being equally cautious regarding worldly matters.
"He might have left now, but given his previous assumptions, it seems he's certain you guys are here. I'm afraid his spiritual energy is peculiar; you'll still have to disperse it to leave this place."
Recalling Lu Qiuming's strange expression earlier, though Lu Qiuming didn't reveal any information, Guo Zhi guessed some of it from the situation.
"You're right; if his strange spiritual energy isn't removed, it'll be troublesome, we'll have to remove it first."
Sun Tianming's face turned serious, yet his complexion had improved considerably, looking far better than his original pale shade.
Despite his improved complexion, the internal condition hadn't seen much improvement.
"Let me help you."
After brief consideration, Guo Zhi said this.
He then moved Sun Tianming to an open area, placing his hand on Sun Tianming's back. As his hand sparkled, gentle spiritual energy emerged from his palm, nourishing Sun Tianming's body.
With the emergence of the spiritual energy, Sun Tianming couldn't help but moan softly, feeling a sense of relief. He then sat cross-legged, placing his hands on his knees, closing his eyes lightly, letting his consciousness drift, and guiding the spiritual energy transmitted by Guo Zhi into healing the wounds inside.
Under this healing process, the spiritual energy left by Lu Qiuming's attack evaporated, dissipating and gradually improving the injuries.
