Is this a conspiracy by Lu Chengyun, luring us into a trap?
Or is it that the cultivator who gathered the intelligence is familiar with the inner formations and is a "trusted aide" of Lu Chengyun?
Leader Yang's brows furrowed in confusion, he turned his head and saw Young Master Yun also staring intently at the Formation Diagram, and couldn't help but ask:
"Young Master Yun, what do you think?"
Young Master Yun was slightly startled, thought seriously for a moment, and then said:
"I'm not clear about other things, but at least this Formation Diagram, with its intricate principles and logical consistency, and matching with the topographical layout, it can't be fake."
Leader Yang nodded, feeling slightly relieved in his heart.
As long as the Formation Diagram is real, that's good.
The Formation Diagram is crucial.
Even if Lu Chengyun intends to lure us into a trap, he wouldn't be so irrational as to expose such confidential information...
As long as the Formation Diagram is accurate, even if there are some inaccuracies in other pieces of intelligence, they can adapt accordingly, and there shouldn't be major problems.
Leader Yang soon became curious again.
Who exactly are the two descendants of Noble Clans that Situ Fang mentioned?
And what is the identity of the cultivator who obtained the intelligence?
An hour later, Situ Fang led two cultivators in.
It was Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.
As soon as the two entered the hall, everyone present felt as if a light had shone before their eyes.
Bai Zisheng had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, an imposing demeanor, and though only in the Qi-refining Realm, his spiritual power was profound, clearly indicating a deeply solid foundation.
Bai Zixi was disguised, with merely a beautiful and delicate appearance, but her aura was crisp and clear, and her eyes were like shining ripples, dazzling like glittering glass, unforgettable to anyone who saw them.
The spiritual power around her was surging, and compared to Bai Zisheng, she was certainly not inferior.
At a glance, one would know they were from prominent families, with extraordinary and sublime Spiritual Roots, but at the same time, their aura was somewhat obscure, making it difficult for others to discern their true abilities.
Some cultivators secretly tried to probe with their Divine Sense.
But as soon as their Divine Sense extended, they felt it being absorbed by something and dragged into an abyss, disappearing without a trace.
The cultivator who attempted to spy turned pale, a chill settling in their hearts.
These two individuals' identities were clearly not to be trifled with by them.
Leader Yang was taken aback for a long while before he finally opened his mouth to ask:
"May I know where the two young friends come from?"
Bai Zisheng said, "Our surname is Bai."
Surname Bai?
Leader Yang's heart gave a shiver, which Bai?
In the Cultivation World of the Nine States, there are several significant clans with the surname Bai...
But looking at their eminent identities, he did not delve further and turned to the main topic:
"I wonder where did you get the news about this Corpse Mine from?"
Bai Zisheng said, "It was gathered by my junior brother."
"Junior brother?"
"Yes," Bai Zisheng said, "My junior brother is an expert in formations, and was used by Lu Chengyun, who captured and trapped him in the Corpse Mine."
"Then this intelligence..."
Bai Zisheng nodded and said, "It's all information he gathered from inside."

Leader Yang frowned.
An expert in formations? How expert could he be?
This intelligence included a Formation Diagram, could that really be gathered as well...
Leader Yang was half-convinced.
He looked again at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, and his hesitations gradually eased as he thought to himself:
"If this junior brother is indeed the disciple of these two young Bai Family cultivators, he must have some exceptional abilities, and it wouldn't be surprising for him to accomplish things that ordinary people couldn't..."
Meanwhile, the silent Bai Zixi secretly tugged at Bai Zisheng's sleeve.
Only then did Bai Zisheng, somewhat reluctantly, say:
"I have one more thing... I would like to ask everyone here, to help rescue my junior brother..."
Bai Zisheng was usually not one to ask for help; if not for Mo Hua, he wouldn't have wanted to ask these people for assistance.
But there were too many zombies in the Corpse Mine, and it wasn't easy for him to break in forcefully, and Mo Hua hadn't returned for a long time...
Leader Yang said, "Of course."
This junior disciple was the younger brother of these two Bai Family members, and also hijacked by Lu Chengyun for his use; he was clearly not an ordinary person in terms of both identity and strength.
Furthermore, he had passed on such critical intelligence, helping them immensely, so they were definitely going to rescue him regardless.
Leader Yang then asked:
"What does this young junior brother of yours look like? What are his features, and what is his name?"
Bai Zisheng replied, "He's thirteen years old, knowledgeable in formations, with a countenance like a painting, his name is Mo Hua."
Thirteen years old?
So young?
All those present were somewhat astonished.
Leader Yang was also taken aback.
Mo Hua?
This name, why does it sound so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere...
It seemed like someone had mentioned it to him before?
Leader Yang couldn't recall at the moment, so he temporarily set it aside and solemnly said:
"Everyone, when we attack the Corpse Mine, if we encounter this young cultivator named 'Mo Hua', we must assist him and ensure his rescue!"
All the cultivators present nodded their heads.
They all remembered the name "Mo Hua."
However, they had no idea what this name really signified...
