Chapter 1611: Chapter 191: Breaking the Dharma Platform to Repay Kindness and Warn

At the middle reaches of Qu River, Qiu Hanyue placed her hands on her knees and sat cross-legged on a Dharma Platform.

In front of Bi Yu Xuan’s mountain gate, the river network sprawled extensively, and due to its profound ties with Zhao You Heavenly Pond, Sect Leader Yan Yuqing ordered the disciples to raise five Dharma Platforms at once.

However, even though the platforms were erected, they still required the arrangement of Array Flags and needed disciples to guard them. Hence, manpower became quite scarce, and she, having no tasks within the sect, volunteered to guard one of the platforms.

Just then, there was a splash, and suddenly a Demon Carp leaped out and spat a token onto the bank. It flared its fins like a person, gave a bow, and then plunged back into the water.

Qiu Hanyue reached out to take the token and glanced at it. Her jade-like features registered surprise, "Hmm, two platforms downstream have been broken?"

She shook her head and said with a hint of reproach, "In such an urgent matter, why use a Demon Carp to deliver the message? It should’ve been done by a Flying Book."

Once the platforms are set, it’s agreed that every hour, communication should occur to prevent any unforeseen changes.

Thus, daily messages amount to over twenty transmissions.

The Flying Books used by Great Sect cultivators are crafted from external medicine and can only be used once before their spiritual mechanism fails. So using Flying Books exclusively, except for Great Xuanmen Sect, would be unbearable for any small sect.

However, using Demon Carp to transmit tokens is economical.

You only need to recite a chant by a great river and cast a message, and it will be swiftly delivered, being only slightly slower than Flying Books. Sometimes it can be more covert.

Yet, in an emergency, if one doesn’t adapt, it might delay matters.

Qiu Hanyue speculated that if those who broke the platforms hadn’t retreated, they were likely not far from her position.

With a delicate motion, she uprooted an Array Flag, gave it a gentle shake, and instantly activated the Dharma Platform’s prohibition, sending ripples of spirit light across. Then, with a finger tap, she buried several Magic Artifacts in several hidden spots.

Having completed these actions, she settled her mind.

The opposition managed to break two platforms in quick succession and couldn’t be underestimated. If the location can be defended, it should be; if not, it might serve as a cover for retreat.

After approximately two quarters of an hour, an ink-colored Flying Boat was seen approaching from downriver, moving neither quickly nor slowly, with two individuals standing on it. On the left was a young cultivator wearing a black cap and broad-sleeved shirt, with a gentle and warm smile.

The individual on the right was shorter but very robust, with a rugged appearance and wide eyes. A thick beard hung casually over his chest, fluttering in the breeze.

Seeing the two, Qiu Hanyue exhaled lightly; if Nascent Soul cultivators had arrived, it would have been immense trouble. Fortunately, the opponents were at Hua Dan cultivation, and she felt confident she could handle them.

She thought silently, "Since these two haven’t broken the platforms with their own power, they must rely on Dharma Treasures."

With this in mind, she felt more composed compared to before, confident she could rival fellow cultivators using Dharma Treasures alone.

After the Flying Boat arrived, it circled a few times above the Dharma Platform. The robust cultivator glanced down and said, "This place is well-guarded, not as easy to handle as before."

The previous two platform leaders were somewhat inexperienced, responding in panic, and they broke easily with Supreme Treasures in hand. Yet, this here cultivator seems experienced and isn’t easily intimidated.

Han Ji looked below and said, "Heading upstream is fine. With five platforms at Bi Yu Xuan, missing one isn’t critical. Stopping here would only give time for others behind us to prepare."

The robust cultivator laughed heartily and said, "Junior Han, you’re joking. With the Dharma Treasure borrowed from Master Wen, handling these platforms is straightforward. This maiden seems somewhat skilled; Brother Huang desires to try."

Han Ji chuckled, "Not borrowed, only taken without notice from the guardian child, and it needs returning after use, so Brother Huang should keep quiet."

Huang Daoist waved repeatedly, "Understood, understood. We’ve used the Dharma Treasure. If Master Wen hears of it, we won’t fare well. I wouldn’t mess with myself."

The two pointed above but didn’t come down, and Qiu Hanyue felt slight annoyance. But this platform lacks the power to attack like the Mountain Gate Formation, making it hard to deal with them.

Her mind shifted, and she tossed out a seven-colored fragrant flower. In the sky, the petals burst apart with a puff, scattering and dancing colorfully, initially only a few dozen petals, but within a few breaths, transformed into thousands.
