Lan Tian dashed all the way to the bamboo forest and hid behind a rockery. With a flip of his hand, a talisman appeared in his palm. It was a Path-finding Talisman. He folded it a few times into a paper crane and injected spiritual energy into it, then threw it towards the bamboo forest.
The paper crane fluttered forward unsteadily, and as soon as it entered the bamboo forest, it suddenly burst into flames without any ignition source and instantly turned into ash.
As soon as the paper crane burned, Lan Tian immediately fled from behind the rockery. He enhanced his speed with spiritual energy, leaping through the air and vanishing into the night. Along the way, he turned corners around several gardens and concealed himself in a bush.
That was close; he almost got caught in the act. An Array indeed had been set up in the bamboo forest, and the Path-finding Talisman had attracted the attention of the hidden cultivator.
