That spark was the torch-bearing pursuer sent by Cao Yi overnight.
“They came so fast,” Wang Charlie said to Chen Leiting and Qingfeng.
"They suffered a loss in Liu Shulin and found the location of the watchtower.
With their maneuvering methods, they will send troops immediately and come to supervise the battle in person," Chen Tingting said.
"The Governor is right about the battle in Willow Forest.
The group of soldiers did not pursue us.
They ran back to report the news," Qingfeng said.
"Tianshi, it turns out that it was you who saved my life in Liushulin."
Chen Tingting was not surprised.
He knew very well that with Qingfeng's Taoism and skill, the miracles in Liushulin were nothing to mention.
"Pindao is afraid that you are in danger, so he can only use his strength to reduce his strength and ask Brother Liu for help," Qingfeng said.
"My dear brother, I will repay you for your life-saving grace in the future," said Charlie Wang.
"People of Xuanmen, with their hearts outside the world, how can there be any grudges?"
Qingfeng smiled slightly and continued, "It is inevitable that there will be a fierce battle tonight.
Please bring Brother Charlie with the Governor, Miss Chen and all the brothers, from behind the watchtower.
If we retreat along the trail, our master and disciples can just wait here for Cao Yi to sail."
"How can Cao Yi, with his large group of men and horses, resist them this time with the strength of your master and disciple?
I don't think this will work."
He turned to Charlie Wang and said, "Bring Jin'er and a few of them with you."
Brothers are leaving, and I will stay and fight with the Heavenly Master against the enemy.
I became a deserter in Wucheng, and I can’t just leave this time.”
Qingfeng saw the determination on Chen Leiting's face and asked, "Grand Governor, do you still remember the story in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which Zhuge cleverly created a maze of stones and forced the young scholar Lu Xun to retreat?"
"Of course I know," Chen Leiting said.
"In ancient times, there was a maze of stones, but today there is a willow and Bagua formation.
Pindao is going to set up this willow and Bagua formation tonight.
I would like to ask if the Governor can help Pindao cast spells or invite gods."
Qingfeng's simple words left Chen Tingting speechless.
"The Governor is concerned about Pindao's safety.
Pindao has thanked me here for being a handsome man.
Leading troops is more suitable for you.
Let Pindao do these things," Qingfeng said again.
"Since Brother Qingfeng has everything in mind, we will act according to his plan," said Charlie Wang.
"Grand Governor, I heard people say that when you lead troops, you always try to make the best use of them," Xin Yun said mischievously.
Chen Tingting's stubbornness just now had been persuaded and persuaded by everyone, and he had already run away from the sky.
"Since the Heavenly Master has made a plan, I will lead them to retreat first.
However, you must not be reluctant to fight.
When the time is right, you must be able to escape safely."
Chen Leiting explained.
"Grand Governor, follow the trail behind the watchtower until you reach the Wujiang Ferry.
You can take a boat to Jiangxin Island for temporary shelter and we will return there."
Qingfeng said.
"I didn't expect that the Heavenly Master would consider it so thoughtfully.
I would like to express my gratitude," Chen Leiting said in thanks.
"No way, you should credit brother Lin Tie for this credit, he was the one who found out all the way," Qingfeng said slowly.
Lin Tie, who was standing aside, said to Qingfeng in embarrassment, "This all depends on the guidance of the Heavenly Master.

I was just running errands."
"Lin Tie, you've done such a good job, I will reward you from this Commander-in-Chief."
After Chen Tieting finished speaking, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his body and handed it to Lin Tie.
"Grand Governor, this will not make this villain feel ashamed," Lin Tie declined.
"This jade pendant was given to me by the Queen Mother when I was the King of Qin, and I will give it to you today," Chen Tingting said.
Lin Tie was in a dilemma and was noncommittal.
Qingfeng said with a smile, "Since it's an expression of appreciation for talents, please accept it, Brother Lin."
After listening to Qingfeng's words, Lin Tie stopped refusing and put away the jade pendant properly.
"Grand Governor, it's time for you to set off.
Cao Yi is almost at the willow forest," Qingfeng said.
"The key to a good march is speed.
I won't elaborate further.
Master Tian, take care.
We are waiting for you at Jiangxin Island."
Chen Leiting solemnly saluted Qingfeng.
"It's a deal," Qingfeng said in return.
Chen Tingting assigned tasks to the accompanying guards and ordered them to set off immediately.
Before leaving, Chen Jin's eyes were full of concern and he said softly to Qingfeng, "You have to be careful.
Dad and I are leaving and will wait for you at Jiangxin Island."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Jin was about to leave.
A jade rat was stuffed into Qingfeng's hand, and Lin Tie led him away in three steps.
Xin Yun looked into his master's eyes, desperately searching for Chen Jin who could no longer see clearly in the night, and said deliberately sourly, "Master, look at it for a while longer, and then you can see more clearly again when it gets daylight."
Qingfeng turned around, touched Xin Yun's head, and said with a smile, "They are all gone, you little brat.
It's time for us to start work."
"Master, look, I have everything ready."
Xin Yun took out a list from his arms and showed it to Master Qingfeng.
"Okay, we, master and disciple, will go upstairs to open the altar."
After Qingfeng finished speaking, he took the list from Xin Yun's hand and led Xin Yun up to the watchtower.
Speaking of Cao Yi, he was very surprised when he saw that the soldiers he sent brought back a corpse, so he asked, "I asked you to capture the dead ones, how did you bring back a dead Chen Tingting, your brother?"
Several soldiers, with gloomy faces and frustrated expressions, replied, "Sir, our eldest brother is here."
Cao Yi hurriedly lifted the coarse cloth covering the corpse, and it turned out that the person lying there was their eldest brother.
He asked with confusion on his face, "Your eldest brother is usually the best at martial arts and the most clever.
What kind of master was he killed by?"
" "Originally, after our eldest brother discovered the watchtower, he hurriedly chased after him and was about to capture the rebellious minister Chen Leiting alive.
Unexpectedly, the man next to him, Wang Charlie, opened fire when he saw us.
My eldest brother had no choice but to fight back, but was blocked by several willow trees that suddenly fell from the sky.
My eldest brother Instead, he was shot and killed."
One of the soldiers told Cao Yi vividly about the strange experience in Liu Shulin, while other soldiers stood aside and added one after another.
"It seems that Chen Leiting has an expert behind the scenes.
This person is well versed in Xuanmen formations.
Xunwu has been taken down by me, so who else will be there?"
Cao Yi said.
"Sir, Chen Tingting and his group must have been hiding in the watchtower we just reported to you.
Without further ado, we have to go and get people quickly," the soldier said.
"No matter who the master is, I must find another heavenly master of equal caliber to consult with him."

After Cao Yi finished speaking, he immediately ordered people to go to the Xiangyun Temple in the city to ask for a Taoist priest.
Speaking of this Taoist priest, because his right hand was disabled when he was young, he only had one index finger left, so he was called Taoist priest one finger.
He once participated in a preaching conference organized by Cao Yi, and the two got to know each other at the meeting.
Later, the royal family of the DPRK Some people practiced food elixir, and Cao Yi strongly recommended him.
He got a lot of money and benefits, so he considered Cao Yi a favor and reinvented him.
After receiving Cao Yi's invitation, he naturally rushed over to help.
"I don't know what's the urgent matter if you come to Pindao in the middle of the night," asked the Taoist priest with one finger.
"Taoist Priest, I would like to ask if there is a strange formation related to forest trees."
Cao Yi told Taoist Priest Yi Zhi what he had said from beginning to end in detail.
"It turns out that the person who killed the soldier used the technique of borrowing wood to neutralize his strength," Taoist Master Yizhi said.
"What is the technique of using wood to eliminate force?"
Chen Tingting asked.
"It is to use talismans to give trees spiritual energy, so that they can move freely like people.
That's why the willow tree protects Chen Leiting."
Taoist priest Yizhi explained to Cao Yi.
"Taoist Priest, is there a way to solve this problem?"
Cao Yi asked with concern.
Taoist Master Yizhi did not answer directly.
After laughing a few times, he said as he walked, "I have prepared everything for you, and I am ready to help you and overcome the difficulties together with you."
"Refreshing, this is what I want," Cao Yi thought to himself, pointing at the Taoist priest.
He still had some conscience, and usually did not treat him with in vain.
Cao Yi immediately ordered people to prepare torches, summoned the soldiers and set off immediately.
Taoist priest Yi Zhi followed closely behind Cao Yi.
When Master Qingfeng and his disciples went upstairs, Cao Yi's large group of troops had already arrived under the willow forest.
In the watchtower, Xin Yun had already prepared all the items for opening the altar.
The breeze chanted the "Eight Diagrams Mantra of Translocation of the Universe", and a strong wind suddenly blew outside the watchtower.
In the willow forest, the branches of the dense willow trees swayed more and more violently, creating a whirlwind that blew out all the torches.
Soon, all the willow trees in the willow forest also rotated with the whirlwind, forming a large circle, surrounding the men and horses maneuvering in the darkness.
All I heard was a Taoist priest shouting, "It's a big deal!"
