Sikong Lan's schemes run deep.
Earlier, when he saw he couldn't persuade Qi Keqing to target Ning Qi, he considered leaving the Jade Light Immortal Sect's army.
But then, by chance, he discovered that Ning Qi seemed to have a compass that could detect nodes.
He immediately changed his mind and decided to continue following Qi Keqing to see how things unfolded.
If Ning Qi could indeed locate node positions, perhaps Sikong Lan could devise a plan around this.
So, upon arriving here, the appearance of a large node completely proved the value of Ning Qi's compass!
Even though Sikong Lan hadn't seen Ning Qi or the Profound Truth Realm's army, he believed they must be nearby.
Therefore, Ning Qi could indeed find the nodes!
And at this moment, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's army discovered them and sent two Extreme Venerables to intercept.
