Liang Yan was slightly startled. He subconsciously looked around, but he didn't see a single figure.
But the voice just now was real, as if it was right next to me.
"Fellow Taoist Nanyang, where are you now?" Liang Yan asked tentatively.
"I'm still where you are, but I can't see you anymore." Nanyang Taoist's voice came slowly: "The situation is not good. It seems that we have been tricked by others."
"Why can I hear your voice but not see you?" Liang Yan asked doubtfully.
"Haha, this is the Taoist's unique secret technique 'Tongyan Jue'. It can break through some barriers and communicate with nearby monks."
"I see." Liang Yan nodded, as if he had thought of something, and quickly asked: "How big is the range of your technique?"
"It's about a hundred feet in diameter."
"In other words, we haven't left our original position at all, but we can't see each other." Liang Yan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Fellow Taoist Nanyang, may you be able to contact other people?"
"No, I tried it just now. Only fellow Taoist Liang responded. Apparently everyone else has moved their positions." Taoist Nanyang's voice was quite helpless.
"Moved?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly and thought to himself: "These people are the leaders of a force. They are very experienced. They will never move around easily when the situation is unknown. So it seems that they may have encountered trouble."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan shook his head. He had no time to care about others now. Only by calming down and finding a way to break this technique could he possibly rescue others.
There was a flash of light blue in his eyes, and he used the "Qi-Wang Technique" and "Bodhi Vibrant Pure Appearance" to the extreme. After a while, he murmured to himself:
"It's strange. The flow of spiritual energy here seems to follow a certain pattern. Could it be that you have entered someone else's formation? But why is there no sign of entering the formation from the beginning to the end? When did it happen?"
While Liang Yan was thinking secretly, there was a sudden muffled sound in front of him, and then the ground began to crack, and countless blood-threaded corpse cicadas swarmed out from the ground.
At the same time, Taoist Nanyang also said "Huh", seeming a bit surprised.
The next moment, Taoist Nanyang's voice stopped suddenly, and there was no contact with him anymore.
Liang Yan was slightly shocked, but at this moment, the bloody zombie cicadas were already swarming in like a tide, leaving him no time to care about others.
"brush!"
The Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword was instantly unsheathed, and a purple thunder dragon darted back and forth in the black insect tide. It only took half a cup of tea to cut a bloody path through it.
Liang Yan had no intention of fighting, but followed the sword and fled towards the other end of the bamboo forest.
Although his flying sword is unparalleled in sharpness, the bloody evil energy when the Bloodline Corpse Cicada explodes can contaminate the magic weapon.
Of course, one or two is nothing, but facing these countless bloody zombie cicadas, even if he can kill them all, his flying sword will definitely be useless.
"Since it is a formation, there must be a way to break it."
While resisting the Bloodline Corpse Cicada, Liang Yan used the "Qi Watching Technique" to the extreme while constantly counting with one hand.
Although he has never seen this formation before, it is not very clever. He still follows the common sense of formation. The so-called formation eye is like the dantian. The spiritual energy in the formation circulates back and forth, passing through the dantian everywhere. Liang Yan only needs to calculate the flow of these spiritual energy.
Direction, you can find the approximate location of the formation eye.
In just half a cup of tea, Liang Yan came to a clearing in the forest. There were five tall stone statues surrounding the clearing, each with a ferocious face, like a demon from hell.
"right here!"
Liang Yan regained his energy, pinched the sword technique in his hand, and the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword slashed towards the first stone statue in an instant.
"boom!"
There was an explosion, and the bamboo forest around him shook slightly, and the spiritual energy that was originally flowing slowly according to a certain pattern suddenly became chaotic.
"Haha, it's true!"
Liang Yan felt happy and hurriedly controlled the flying sword to slash at the remaining four statues.
A series of explosions came, and the stone statues were destroyed one by one. When the last one was reached, the stone statue suddenly opened its eyes and shouted with a look of pain: "Brother Liang, save me!"
Liang Yan was slightly startled. The voice was none other than one of the five people traveling with him: Tang Shaoyu.
He hurriedly stopped the flying sword and looked from a distance, only to see a strange seal carved on the back of the stone statue, which seemed to contain the universe.
After pondering for a while, Liang Yan did not step forward, but used his thunder skills to shoot a blue lightning bolt, hitting the seal on the back of the statue.
boom!
There was a crisp sound, the stone statue collapsed, and a young man in white clothes with one arm staggered out from inside.
"What's going on, Brother Tang, why did you get inside the stone statue?" Liang Yan asked with a frown.
"Zun Liang, I don't know what happened. You suddenly disappeared before, and then the Netherworld Swallowing Beast appeared again, chasing after me."
Tang Shaoyu said with lingering fear: "This evil beast has the strength of the late Juyuan realm, and I was seriously injured in a sneak attack before. Naturally, I could only fight and escape. But when I passed by an open space,
Suddenly a dark hole appeared under the ground, and my whole body was sucked in, and then I lost all consciousness."
"There is such a thing. It seems that we have been tricked." Liang Yan said slowly.
"How do you say this?" Tang Shaoyu asked puzzledly.
"When the netherworld swallowing beast appeared before, I observed it carefully. It didn't look like an ordinary underworld beast. It seemed to have been tamed. And this formation appeared here again, with the purpose of spreading us out.
Come, so that we can defeat them one by one. There are various signs that someone arrived one step ahead of us and plotted against us in advance."
After hearing this, Tang Shaoyu's face changed slightly and he hurriedly said: "What about fellow Taoist Nanyang and the others?"
"I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic. Now that the formation has been broken, let's quickly find other fellow Taoists and gather together first to discuss the next plan." Liang Yan said with a solemn expression.
Tang Shaoyu naturally had no objection to this. The two of them made a seal at the same time, drove up a ray of light, and flew back along the way they came.
As soon as they were halfway through the flight, they smelled a strong smell of blood and could not help but change their expressions slightly.
"In that direction."
Liang Yan gave a low shout, turned around, and flew towards the source of the blood evil aura.
The two of them sped up their escape speed, pushed through the thick bamboo forest, and saw a woman, tall and with a cold face, sitting cross-legged in a pool of blood.
This person is none other than Yan Shuyun from Luoshen Palace!
It's just that she is bleeding from all her orifices, blood is all over her body, and she has no breath. She has obviously been dead for a long time!
"Oops, we're a step too late. Fellow Taoist Yan has already done something wrong." Tang Shaoyu looked annoyed.
Liang Yan didn't speak. He walked to Yan Shuyun's body and inspected it carefully for a moment, with a look of contemplation on his face.
"That's all, the deceased is gone, let's let him rest in peace." Tang Shaoyu said, raising his hand to cast a spell and burying Yan Shuyun's body into the ground.
After doing all this, Tang Shaoyu turned around and said to Liang Yan: "The other party has already started to take action, and we have to find the remaining people as soon as possible."
Liang Yan nodded, and just as the two were about to set off, they saw a ray of light piercing the sky not far away, and then a middle-aged Taoist priest landed in front of them.
"Fellow Taoist Nanyang!" Tang Shaoyu shouted in surprise.
The person who came was none other than a Taoist from Nanyang, but his Taoist uniform was in tatters and there was a little blood on his body, making him look miserable.
"Two fellow Taoists, I feel relieved to see that you are safe and sound!"
Taoist Nanyang showed an expression of relief as he spoke, but then he sighed and said: "Unfortunately, Taoist fellow Taoist Tang Ying and fellow Taoist Dugu Yun were not so lucky. The old Taoist had just discovered their bodies."
"What?" Tang Shaoyu said in shock: "All dead? There were six envoys when we came, but now in just a few hours, only the three of us are left?"
Taoist Nanyang also showed a trace of sadness and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that this treasure hunt would be so dangerous. In my opinion, it's better to stop in time and turn back now, right?"
"There's no need to stop. There are some things we should solve here." Liang Yan suddenly said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Nanyang Taoist's eyes were obviously stunned for a moment.
The next moment, Liang Yan was seen making a secret with one hand, and the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword rushed out and slashed towards Taoist Nanyang's head.
This change happened between lightning and flint, and there was only a crisp sound. The Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword did not strike the Nanyang Taoist, but was blocked by a huge ice bud in mid-air.
"Nanyang Taoist" was surrounded by cold air at this moment, and he flew back dozens of feet before he could stop.
He stared at Liang Yan with a gloomy expression on his face, and finally smiled softly and said, "When did you see the flaw?"
"I'm ashamed to say that it was just now." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Oh? How do you say it?" Nanyang Taoist asked curiously.
Liang Yan chuckled and said: "You left your 'corpse' here to confuse me, but you didn't know that Liang had his own way of seeing through the truth and lies. It was the moment I saw your body that I understood myself."
He didn’t come out of the formation at all, because Liang only killed four of the five stone statues in the formation’s eyes, and the remaining one was right next to me. Am I right, Fellow Daoist Yan?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the clear color in Tang Shaoyu's eyes, which originally looked very normal, suddenly disappeared, and in just a moment, it turned into a blood-like red.
Immediately afterwards, this person pounced behind Liang Yan like a mad dog, and a strong bloody aura rushed towards his face.
Liang Yan seemed to have expected it. Without looking back, he just cut the man in half with a backhand sword.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Taoist Tang." Liang Yan said silently in his heart.
In fact, Tang Shaoyu had already been controlled by the other party using secret techniques. Not only did he become a puppet, he was also refined into one of the five formation eyes. Even if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to survive.
Now that the last formation hole has been broken, the surrounding sceneries are changing, and the entire open space suddenly disappears, turning back into the tall and gloomy bamboo forest before.
Not far away, there is a female cultivator in green clothes with a cold face and a full smile. She is Yan Shuyun!
"Zun Liang is really cruel. He kills his companions whenever he says!" Yan Shuyun clapped his hands and laughed.
"I can't compare to you!" Liang Yan asked calmly: "How are Taoist Nanyang and the others doing now?"
"Of course those who are in the way should be removed as soon as possible. Now in this bamboo forest, you and I are the only ones left." Yan Shuyun looked calm and calm.
"Isn't it more?" Liang Yan sneered and said, "My Taoist friend deliberately took action outside the bamboo forest before, and the Netherworld Swallowing Beast he rescued must have been tamed by your companions, right? Now that he's here, why bother hiding?
"
After he said this, a loud laugh came from the bamboo forest: "Liang Zunshi is indeed as wise as a torch!"
Liang Yan frowned slightly when he heard it. He knew the owner of this voice!
Sure enough, as the laughter came from far and near, a person walked out of the bamboo forest. This person had a mustache, red and phoenix eyes, wore a red robe, and was very handsome.
Surprisingly, it is Li Yan from Fentian Mansion!
"Fellow Daoist Li, it turns out it was your plan!" Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liang, you can't blame me for this. Who has made you keen to explore all the places in Hades over the years? This is what I call doing what you want!"
Li Yan touched his chin and laughed and said: "How did the Nanyang old Taoist know that Yan Shuyun was Li's Taoist companion? After he told Yun'er the news, I thought of this two-birds-with-one-stone plan.
The enemy of Hengshan can also monopolize the treasure land!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan snorted coldly and said, "It seems Li Zunshi still has a short memory. He couldn't survive thirty moves in my hands last time. How can he still have the courage to do it again?"
"Thirty moves? Such an exaggeration! Is it true?"
An exaggerated and strange laughter came from the forest, and then an ugly-looking middle-aged man with sallow skin walked out.
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. Although this person suppressed his aura, how could he hide it from his perception? His cultivation level was a genuine "fake alchemy realm"!
At the same time, two people slowly walked out of the bamboo forest behind him.
One of them was a young man with a feminine appearance, his face was pale, and he was holding an oil lamp and was just floating above the ground without touching the ground.
The other person was a burly strongman, with muscles all over his body, and several chains wrapped around his waist, which made a clattering sound when dragged on the ground.
Without exception, these two people are also monks in the "Fake Alchemy Realm"!
The sallow-skinned middle-aged man from before glanced at Liang Yan with a half-smile, and then said sarcastically: "I think this kid is very ordinary. One of the seven great Star Lords of the Flying Star Alliance can't walk in his hands."
Thirty moves? I think Fellow Daoist Li’s reputation is in vain, right?”
"Hmph, old weirdo with a yellow beard, you have never fought against him, so you don't know how powerful this kid is." Li Yan snorted coldly. Although he looked a little unconvinced, he did not refute.
"Okay, okay!"
The yellow-bearded old monster waved his hands impatiently and said: "We are not here to listen to your nagging today. In one sentence, we will help you deal with this kid, and we must do what you promised!"
