In the valley of Qiling Mountain, outside a huge bronze door, dozens of figures were fighting non-stop.
There are four wild beasts in the battlefield, namely the blood-feathered peacock, the blue-skinned wild boar, the giant black wolf and the gray-skinned old dog.
These beasts are armed with maces, double knives, long whips and other weapons, and join forces to fight in mid-air. Their power is almost as fierce as Zhenjun Tongxuan.
But if someone observes carefully, they will find that although their movements are sensitive, their eyes are slightly sluggish when they turn. They don't look like real spiritual beasts, but more like machine puppets.
In mid-air, the person fighting with them was a man in yellow robe.
This man was over fifty years old, with a pale face. He held a flag on his head. Every time he pinched the magic formula in his hand, a dazzling red light shot out from the flag. It was so powerful that the four beasts were almost unable to resist.
.
There are nearly a hundred monks fighting each other on the battlefield, of which there are only a dozen monks in the Golden Core Realm, and most of the others are in the Juyuan Realm.
The defending side was obviously at a disadvantage. The four leading beasts were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back. The rest of the group was also retreating steadily. Now they were backed by the giant bronze gate, and it looked like they would be breached in a short time.
On the other side of the battlefield, two people stood with their hands behind their backs.
One of them is a middle-aged man, wearing a gray-white robe, carrying a sword at his waist, with a stern expression. The other is an octogenarian, with white beard and hair, and a majestic face.
"The 'Beast Spirit Beasts' of Xuanguang Villa are indeed well-deserved. These four machine puppets joined forces and were able to fight with your fourth uncle for so long. It seems that they do have some skills in puppetry." The old man stroked his long beard.
He nodded slightly.
"Humph, heresy won't lead to anything! If you encounter me, I'll just kill you with one sword!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, looking a little disapproving.
"My nephew Kuangsheng, although you are extremely talented, your temperament is still too upright. You must know that we cultivators must pay attention to everything, instead of just being brave and ruthless, advancing without retreating. You and
Learn from your fourth uncle and see how he fights." The white-bearded old man advised earnestly.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a "boom!" and the giant bronze door slowly opened from the inside.
Dozens of rays of escaping light flew out from the door. Everyone's aura was above the Golden Core Realm, and the two leaders were at the Tongxuan Realm.
These two people are Wushan and Lingyang who came from the hall!
The True Lord Lingyang led a group of Jindan Realm subordinates to set up a formation at the door, while the True Lord Wushan looked intently at the battlefield.
"It turns out to be Situ Fei!"
As a local monk in Wushuang Domain, Master Wushan naturally recognized the identity of the person fighting with the "Beast God Puppet" at a glance.
He glanced back again and saw the middle-aged swordsman and the old man with white beard on the other side of the battlefield.
"Situ Kuangsheng, Situ Yun! You are here too!" Wushan layman narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Our Xuanguang Villa and the Situ family have always been in harmony with each other. What kind of wind blew today to blow away your Situ family?"
Did the three Tongxuan Zhenjun come to my small temple?"
After hearing this, Situ Yun sneered and said: "I wonder if this Qiling Valley is not the territory of your Xuanguan Villa. You are allowed to do some shameful things here, but we are not allowed to go in and take a look?"
"Situ Yun!"
Wushan layman shouted: "Are you definitely going to be the enemy of our Xuanguang Villa?"
"Hmph, your Xuanguang Villa has colluded with forces from outside the region in an attempt to plot against Wushuang City and subvert the good situation of Wushuang Region. Naturally, our Situ Family cannot just sit idly by!"
Situ Yun's words were righteous, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Situ Kuangsheng beside him.
To say that he came here this time, it was really not for the stability of Wushuang Domain, but purely because of the nephew in front of him.
The cause of the whole thing started ten days ago. After discovering Lin Yueque's strange whereabouts, Liang Yan became suspicious of Palace Master Lin. When he left Wushuang City and went to Cangnan Mountain for an appointment,
He also secretly left Bihai Palace and came to Qiling Valley to investigate.
On the way, he used the communication instrument he had requested back then to notify Situ Kuangsheng and asked him to come to support him.
Later, Liang Yan overheard the secret of the formation eye in the valley hall, and he had a plan in mind. He used a communication weapon to inform Situ Kuangsheng, asking him to feint attack outside and create chaos, while he took the opportunity to destroy the formation eye.
His original intention was to let Situ Kuangsheng create some conflicts at the door, as long as he could attract one of the three Tongxuan Zhenjun in the hall, but he did not expect that Situ Kuangsheng did not come alone at all.
This person is a genius that has been rare in the family for thousands of years. He has become the True Lord Tongxuan in just four hundred years, and he still practices the most difficult swordsmanship. The current head of the Situ family has no heirs, and there are no descendants.
Disciple, seeing that the deadline is approaching, if nothing happens, Situ Kuangsheng will be the next head of the family!
In addition, Situ Qing, the most powerful elder in the family, is also very close to Situ Kuangsheng, so everyone else in the family is trying their best to build a good relationship with Situ Kuangsheng.
The reason why we worked so hard this time was because of Situ Kuangsheng’s words: We must repay Liang Yan for his life-saving grace!
After Situ Qing found out, he didn't ask any questions and immediately sent two family elders to help. Situ Yun and Situ Fei were his second uncle and fourth uncle respectively, and their cultivation levels were both in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm.
This nephew also took the initiative to ask Ying to help.
After listening to Situ Yun's words, Wushan layman glanced at the surrounding battlefield, and then sneered: "It seems that your Situ family is determined to wade into this muddy water, anyway, I will come to teach you today."
The Situ family’s magical power!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist. Dozens of spiritual lights shot out, gradually enlarging in mid-air and revealing their figures. They turned out to be more than ten wooden puppets.
At the same time, the Lingyang layman laughed strangely, waving his sleeves and robes, and small black spiritual lights kept flying out from it.
These black auras swarmed like mosquitoes, emitting waves of stench wherever they passed. Not long after they rushed into the battlefield, they turned the few Situ monks who were closest to them into a pile of withered bones.
"The thief shall die!"
Situ Yun and Situ Kuangsheng were frightened and angry. Without any further hesitation, one of them took out the flying sword and the other took out the copper bell and ran towards the layman Wushan and the layman Lingyang respectively.
At the same time that the battle started outside the cave, deep in the underground palace, there was a dark cave.
Liang Yan, Cang Yueming, Huangfu Qi and True Lord Ji Ying walked side by side. Among them, Cang Yueming and Liang Yan's flying swords were already unsheathed. Outside the cave behind them, there were many corpses lying on the ground. Look at their costumes.
, they should all be disciples of Xuanguang Villa.
"This place is so heavily guarded. According to the information we have investigated before, the formation eye should be inside." Jiying Zhenjun said with great certainty.
"In this case, let's speed up. Those three people are in a little trouble now and shouldn't care about us." Liang Yan said with a slight smile.
Not long ago, Situ Kuangsheng led a group to invade, and the entire underground palace was shaken by the aftermath of the spell. Liang Yan naturally knew what was happening outside. This was a plan he and Situ Kuangsheng had made to combine inside and outside, and now it was time to destroy the formation.
The perfect time to catch your eye.
After hearing this, Cang Yueming, Huangfu Qi and others nodded at the same time, forcibly suppressed the injuries in their bodies, and walked faster towards the depths of the cave.
After half a cup of tea, everyone arrived at the innermost part of the cave.
There is a deep pool here, the water in the pool is bright red, and countless bloody gases emerge from the bottom of the pool and fly towards an altar above.
The altar was completely black and built on a nine-leaf lotus platform. The petals and leaves of the lotus platform were scarlet in color. As the bloody air poured in from the surroundings, the petals were still stretching and contracting, as if they were breathing.
There is a black cauldron in the middle of the altar. Green smoke is rising from the furnace lid, and there are nine fist-sized holes around it. Countless worms crawl in and out of those holes, which looks very penetrating.
"What is this?"
Liang Yan couldn't understand and couldn't help but ask.
Although he is proficient in formations, all he has learned are the books collected in Yixing Pavilion back then.
Although he later traveled around, gained a lot of knowledge, and participated in research with the leader of the Qingyu Sect for several years, the formations he was proficient in were still very limited.
Liang Yan didn't know much about formations above the Golden Core realm, and he knew nothing about such a large formation that could calculate the calamity realm monks.
Jiying Zhenjun stared at the altar for a long time, but could not see any clues, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"What is the origin of this altar? If it is an array eye, why can't there be any trace of the operation of the array? If it is not an array eye, then why is it so tightly guarded, and the power of the soul absorbed in the underground prison is all
Sent here?"
"Senior doesn't recognize this formation either?"
Liang Yan was a little surprised, thought for a while and then said: "Since no one knows it, we don't need to get to the bottom of it. In short, it is better to destroy it first."
"good!"
Cang Yueming nodded, pinched the spell in his hand, and the Mo Xuan sword turned into a streak of black light, and slashed towards the black altar.
boom!
With a muffled sound, Mo Xuan's sword struck the cauldron of the altar, and was blown away by a circle of black light. The flying sword flew back upside down, with a soft sound on the sword midway, as if it had suffered considerable damage.
"This altar actually destroyed part of the spirituality of my flying sword!"
Cang Yueming's expression changed greatly, and she hurriedly put away the flying sword. After examining it carefully for a while, she raised her hand and cast a few spells, then put the flying sword into its sheath, not daring to use it again.
"Wait for me to come and try."
Jiying Zhenjun's face was solemn. He raised his hand and shot it in the air. He saw spiritual energy rushing from all around and converging into a silver spear in his palm. The tip of the spear flashed with cold light, facing the altar above.
"go!"
True Monarch Jiying shouted low, and the spear in his hand flew out. A bit of cold light was like a star in the sky, and it pierced the altar high in the sky.
Ping!
As a crisp sound came, the spear condensed by spiritual energy stabbed the lotus platform, splashing out sparks, and then a colorful worm crawled out from under the lotus platform, and actually swallowed the spear in one gulp!
"What!"
Jiying Zhenjun's face changed drastically. You must know that although he was injured, his magical powers just now had the usual seven powers. He was actually swallowed by a small insect in the lotus platform. It was simply unbelievable.
.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side:
"It's useless. This is the 'Great Luotian Three Kings Formation' in Gu King Mountain. The formation is protected by seventh-grade Gu insects. It is not afraid of water, fire and weapons. Unless you are a monk in the Tribulation Realm, it is impossible to break through it with magical powers.
"
Hearing this voice, Liang Yan and others were slightly startled, and turned their heads almost at the same time. The person who spoke was none other than Huangfu Qi, who was walking along the way.
"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, do you recognize this formation?" Cang Yue Mingqi asked.
"I've heard a little bit." Huangfu Qi nodded.
"Then according to what you just said, isn't there no way to destroy this array of eyes?" Cang Yueming asked again.
“It’s not completely impossible”
Huangfu Qi raised his head and looked at the altar above, and said calmly: "I happen to have a magic weapon below, which can be used to crack the formation here with my secret technique. However, the cracking process is very long, and you cannot be disturbed in the middle, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
Even I will suffer backlash."
After hearing this, Liang Yan, Cang Yueming and True Lord Jiying each looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
You must know that Jiying Zhenjun has a cultivation level of Tongxuan Realm, and even he has no way to deal with this formation eye. However, Huangfu Wizard, who does not have a cultivation level of Jindan Realm, claims that he can crack this formation eye.
After a moment of silence, Jiying Zhenjun stepped forward and said solemnly: "Huangfuqi, just go ahead and do it with confidence. We will defend this place to the death and will not let you be disturbed in the slightest."
"good!"
Huangfu Qi nodded, without hesitation, raised his hand and waved his sleeve, and a square seal flew out from the cuff. It was carved with dragons and phoenixes, inlaid with gold and jade, and looked extremely luxurious.
With a serious look on his face, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the seal shot up into the air. A faint glow appeared around it, flickering in and out in the darkness, like a dim butter lamp in an ancient temple.
Wherever the seal passed, various Gu insects flew out from the altar, trying to stop them, but they were bounced away by the faint glow.
Huangfuqi sat cross-legged on the bank below the altar, his eyes slightly closed, and the spells in his hands continued. The seal seemed to be spiritual, flickering in the air, avoiding several black lights from the altar, and finally "pop!"
With a sound, it covered the top cover of the furnace.
Liang Yan watched for a long time and felt that the seal was very mysterious. He couldn't help but thought to himself:
"really!"
In fact, he had long been suspicious of Huangfu Qi and always felt that this man had hidden many secrets. Now that he saw his methods, he finally verified his suspicions.
But then again, everyone who joins Wushuang City has their own secrets. As long as others don't offend him, Liang Yan will certainly not care about others.
What's more, Huangfu Qi was caught in the prison below just now. Even if he had something to hide, he definitely couldn't be from Gu King Mountain.
