Chapter 548 First Spirit Sealing Array
Xiang Nan lowered his hood, covering half of his face and silently marching through the crowd.
Sure enough, Yun Du wasn't exaggerating. Almost all of the black and white forces in the Western Regions had moved out, setting up countless spies throughout the entire Western Regions.
Facts had proved that even without such a huge gem, it was difficult for Xiang Nan to avoid clashing with the enemy.
Up until now, Xiang Nan had felt that there had been at least ten times when a faint gaze swept past him from all directions.
Although Xiang Nan had a human skin mask on his face and had changed his appearance, since ancient times, the dark forces had even used countless high-powered scouting methods.
Fortunately, the Breath Confinement Pill was powerful enough. At this moment, in everyone's eyes, he was just an ordinary person without any boundary.
The streets were bustling with noise. Xiang Nan took out the map and took a closer look. Over the past hundred years, the wind and clouds had changed. The Spirit Sealing Formation used by the Haotian army scouts here was no longer the same as before.
The Spirit Sealing Formation of Ironwood City was once located under a beast pen outside of Ironwood City. However, after so many years, Ironwood City had been expanded many times and was now covered by a restaurant.
"Fortunately." Xiang Nan looked at the restaurant and nodded slightly. This kind of place was very good. He could enter openly.
As he walked towards the restaurant, he could clearly feel a martial artist at least at the fourth level of the Origin Return Stage walking towards him.
The man had a smile on his face, and his gaze was on the busy crowd on the street. However, his intentions could not escape Xiang Nan's premonition.
Xiang Nan's right hand, hidden in his loose sleeve, was already clenched into a fist, ready to fight at any moment.
The unfamiliar martial artist finally approached Xiang Nan and put on an act of brushing past him. His right hand quickly reached into Xiang Nan's embrace and quickly pulled out. This action was extremely fast, and ordinary people would not be able to detect it.
Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat! He hesitated several times whether to make a move. What if that person reached into his embrace and held a dagger in his hand?
But Xiang Nan endured it.
And that person had only stolen a purse from Xiang Nan's embrace. This was a purse with a small amount of gold coins in Nanping fashion. It was not necessary for him to open his storage ring every time he bought something.
"It's a test. It must be a test." Xiang Nan looked straight ahead, pretending that he didn't feel anything, and continued to walk towards the restaurant.
If he noticed that his purse had been stolen, he would definitely arouse the suspicion of the martial artist.
"Waiter, a guest room, first floor." Xiang Nan came to the counter with a smile on his face and touched his purse.
However, when he touched it, his expression changed slightly. He asked curiously, "Eh? Where is my purse?"
The waiter behind the counter immediately laughed, "Guest, without money, you can't stay in the shop."
At this moment, the martial artist who stole Xiang Nan's purse returned. He slapped a gold coin on the counter and said, "I'll pay for this young master's money."
"Alright! Arrange a room now!" The waiter smiled and grabbed a key from the back wall.
"Thank you, friend." Xiang Nan pretended to be grateful.
The martial artist gently patted Xiang Nan's shoulder and lowered his voice, "Recently, things have not been peaceful. Friends should try not to use disguise techniques to avoid being implicated."
After saying that, the martial artist smiled and walked out of the restaurant.
Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. That person could indeed tell that he had undergone a disguise! But he didn't know what he really looked like.
Xiang Nan took the key and went to his room. Then, he locked the door and confirmed that no one was paying attention to him. Only then did he open the lightning bolt and look underground.
A faint layer of light came from below the ground. There was indeed an underground cave fifty meters below the ground. There was an array formation inside.
In order to avoid unnecessary movements, Xiang Nan directly used the Void Stone to let his body naturally sink into the ground. He quickly sank all the way to the underground cave in the blink of an eye.
This cave was about the size of the restaurant's main hall, and thick dust covered a formation.
Xiang Nan blew away the dust and stood on the formation. At this moment, the effects of the Breath Sealing Pill had also disappeared.
Immediately after, he circulated his Yuan Qi slightly. The Spirit Sealing Formation was activated, and a faint layer of light came from the formation, engulfing Xiang Nan. After the light faded, Xiang Nan discovered that his life and Yuan Qi fluctuations had completely disappeared with his Blood Essence attribute.
"But" Xiang Nan raised his right hand. He could clearly feel the strength of his Yuan Qi.
In other words, other martial artists could also sense that Xiang Nan was a fifth level Origin Returning martial artist, but they were unable to sense Xiang Nan's Yuan Qi fluctuations.
After all, this Spirit Sealing Formation was inferior to the priceless Breath Sealing Pill, and it was unable to block the realm at the same time.
"Looks like we're really going nowhere this time." Xiang Nan checked the Spirit Sealing Array.
He originally wanted to rearrange a teleportation array next to the Spirit Sealing Array, so that when he encountered danger in the future, he could teleport back in an instant.
Unfortunately, the effect of this Spirit Sealing Formation could only be used once. Xiang Nan had used it once before it was truly abolished. If it were to be teleported back in the future, wouldn't there be no Spirit Sealing Formation available to completely expose him?
It seemed that the Haotian military had deliberately left behind the last right to use the Spirit Sealing Formation for a rainy day. This time, they had handed over the precious right to use the formation to themselves.
As for the teleportation array in the Black Forest, it was no longer usable. The teleportation array was a pair of teleportation arrays. Even if Xiang Nan set up a third teleportation array, the third teleportation array would still be ineffective.
"The Spirit Sealing Formation can only be used for three days. In these three days, I have to rush to the next city."
Xiang Nan opened the map and scanned it carefully. There were a total of eight cities marked with red pens on the map.
The order was: Ironwood City, Crimson Firmament City, Fanyue City, Duoluo City, Lonemoon City, Moongazer City, Black Jiang City, and Withered Sea City.
Apart from the huge Black Forest, it was about 350,000 miles away from here to the Haotian Border. The distance between each of the eight towns was about 40,000 miles on average.
However, the distance between the eight towns was not the same. Some were close, some were far, some were close, and some could be reached directly by flying mounts. Those who were far, they had to board a cargo flying ship before they could arrive.
'"Whoosh" Xiang Nan took a deep breath. After recovering his consciousness from being devoured by the Void Stone, he used Lightning Escape again and returned to the inn above.
He pushed open the door and strode out of the restaurant.
The streets outside were still bustling with noise, but this time, Xiang Nan walked out with a martial dao realm.
"Excuse me, where is the nearest leasing point of the beast pen?" Xiang Nan smiled and asked a passer-by.
"Oh, go east from here. You can see it when you get close to the East City Gate." That person said.
Xiang Nan nodded and thanked him. He immediately walked towards the east of the city. He slowed down his speed and tried not to attract the attention of more people.
At the east gate.
"Destination." The Beast Pavilion Manager asked lazily.
"Crimson Firmament City." Xiang Nan gave the name.
The administrator nodded and said, "Pay the deposit of 30,000 gold coins. Return the flying demonic beast in Crimson Firmament City within five days. The deposit will be returned to you. The daily fee will be 500 gold coins. The rent will double for each overtime day."
