After the formation collapsed, the scene fell into chaos.
For a time, everyone was fighting on their own.
Lu Zhong found the right opportunity at this time, raised his hand and shot out a broken star finger, directly hitting the surface of the forbidden figurine. But what he didn't expect was that the effect of this technique was unusual, causing part of the puppet's structure to disintegrate.
With a bang, it immediately turned into dust.
"Is this...?"
Lu Zhong looked thoughtful, and when the forbidden figurine lost its balance, he fired several more spells.
Just like in the previous scene, when encountering the Shattered Star Finger blessed by divine energy, the puppet's constructed body, which was originally able to withstand the spirit treasure without breaking, would become surprisingly fragile and immediately collapse into a ball.
There is no doubt that if he exerts all his strength, he will be able to mow these forbidden figurines like grass.
However, Lu Zhong did not do so.
With these forbidden figurines present, they can very well block future generations.
With fewer monks able to enter the second level, there will naturally be less trouble on the next level.
As for now.
Lu Zhong found the right opportunity, like Ye Panyan in front of him, and sacrificed the sloughed statue. In order to ensure his own safety, he began to instill Tianyuan into it.
In an instant, a hazy golden light enveloped him.
Wherever the body moves, all the forbidden figurines are indeed as Ye Panyan said, and their movements are slightly delayed. Although the duration is extremely short, it is enough for a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage whose movement skills are as fast as lightning.
Under the surprised gazes of the other monks, the two quickly passed through the crowd of puppets.
Witnessing this scene, everyone felt extremely complicated.
Some people couldn't help but cursed, saying that the two of them ignored morality and wanted to take all the benefits of the second floor.
"Huh, I hope I die inside."
Someone is thinking this.
As if it had come true, the passage suddenly trembled, and then a large area of breath revived. As the wall shattered into pieces, a large number of forbidden figurines buried in the wall were revealed at this moment.
When something unexpected happens, the monks outside will either rejoice in the misfortune or applaud.
On Lu Zhong's side, he was walking through a massive crowd of puppets.
Suddenly, I received a message from Ye Panyan.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'm afraid that after you and I sacrificed the lost statue, we triggered the guard mechanism here. Some of these newly appeared forbidden figurines are not affected by the golden light, so please be careful!"
"Thank you for reminding!"
After Lu Zhong replied, he looked at the motionless spirit shield on the surface of his body, and then at the constructed forbidden figurines that shattered into sand and dust under the fingers of the Broken Star.
He was always relaxed and comfortable as he kept moving forward.
On the other hand, Ye Panyan, who was rushing at the front, had an advantage in cultivation, but he was in danger at the moment. He was hit by puppets several times, and he only relied on the spirit treasure to save his life. If he didn't have time to care about him now, he would just
He was afraid that when he saw Lu Zhong walking like a stroll, he would be extremely depressed.
Fortunately, the number of constructed forbidden figurines is not infinite.
After the two of them rushed out thirty miles, the total number of puppets in the passage began to decrease sharply.
In another ten miles, all the forbidden figurines were left behind.
When Ye Panyan arrived, he was out of breath. He said with a face of joy: "Huh, I really didn't expect that the Third Cardinal Academy would set up such an ambush in the passage. Fortunately, there was the help of the relic statue and the designer.
The water has also been released, otherwise this time it will be unimaginable."
"Indeed, if all the forbidden figurines in the passage just now were not affected by the Dharma images, the consequences would indeed be..." Lu Zhong nodded, feeling that what Ye Panyan said made some sense.
However, even in this situation, he did not feel that he would be in danger.
After all, the Broken Star Finger can almost be said to be the nemesis of this kind of forbidden figurines.
As long as Lu Zhong is willing, he can quickly eliminate this group of forbidden warriors like mowing grass.
Afterwards, the two found a place to regain their strength.
In the battle just now, it goes without saying that Ye Panyan was exhausted. In such a dangerous environment, it can be said that he used all his strength, so his fatigue has already appeared.
Lu Zhong's situation is better than that of Ye Panyan. Both his mana and soul are in good condition. However, he has always been cautious, and when he sees the opportunity to restore his strength to its peak, he will not miss it casually.
Just like that, another year passed.
The patience of a high-level monk is comparable to that of a stubborn stone.
While the two were repairing, the Mahayana outside still did not give up. They would try one or two every once in a while, with the intention of directly breaking through the formation and reaching the ninth floor of the Tiange.
From the direction of the passage entrance, there were frequent movements.
Lu Zhong looked back through the scene and learned that more and more monks were gathering outside, and there were even some who joined them during the integration stage. However, due to the large number of forbidden figurines, even if dozens of monks were gathered together, they were still unable to enter the passage.
, let alone reaching the second level of the fortress like the two of them.
Withdrawing his gaze, he observed his surroundings.
Based on what I saw during this period, the second level of the fortress was a huge maze, composed of overlapping formations and indestructible cells, which was obviously designed to trap some powerful beings.
If you want to travel through time, it will take a lot of hard work.
Fortunately, there is a relic of the Dharma, so the two of them don't have to worry about getting lost on the way. They only need to pay attention to the things that were trapped here during the Dao Alliance era and are still alive.
While thinking about it, there was a rustling sound in the distance.
Soon a "black carpet" spread along the floor.
If you look closely, you will find that the black carpet is made up of countless insects, which are as large as spiders and as large as dogs. Each one has a strong and developed giant jaw, so that no one can doubt its power.
"Holy Corpse Mole!"
Lu Zhong was slightly surprised when he saw the swarm of insects clearly.
The origin of this insect is very special. It is said that it was originally a creature in the virtual world. It came to the real world with the appearance of evil, and then devoured its dead body, thus acquiring a walking body in the real world.
The strength of the Holy Corpse Mole can be strong or weak. It all depends on the evil bodies it has swallowed. How much power remains, especially the supernatural part, can determine the strength of this insect.
Therefore, a strong person can destroy the Mahayana, and a weak person is not even as good as forming a pill.
At this moment, the swarm of insects gathered into a torrent, rushing towards this direction.
"Oh no, they were attracted by the abandoned Dharma statue!" Ye Panyan realized something at this moment, looked at the Dharma statue in his hand, and hurriedly sent a message to remind Lu Zhong.
After hearing this, Lu Zhong suddenly understood the origin of the statue.
Wait until the two of them put the Dharma statue away and disperse the remaining aura.
The originally ferocious swarm of holy corpse mole bugs that wanted to devour everything seemed to have lost its target at this moment, and began to wander around like headless flies, no longer as ferocious as before.
However, the crisis between the two has not been resolved.
Although most of the holy zombies who lost their target retreated to the depths of the maze, there were still a small number of holy zombies who changed their targets and focused on Lu Zhong and Ye Panyan, and immediately turned around and attacked.
As soon as he handed it over, Lu Zhong felt something was wrong.
The strength of the Holy Corpse Mole is only at the level of pill formation, but the giant jaws can cut through anything. Whether it is lightning or sword energy... in front of the Holy Corpse Mole, they will be shattered in an instant.
However, he also discovered that this insect had limited strength and was extremely fragile.
Lu Zhong quickly thought of a solution.
Activate the thunder seal, and then point the sword forward.
Then, countless thunder and lightning emerged from the void, directly covering the passage more than a hundred feet wide. All the holy corpses inside were instantly turned into ashes, and no one was lucky enough to survive.
Ye Panyan on the other side also noticed the weakness of the Holy Corpse Mole.
However, he chose magic.
As I muttered the words, there were golden stars hanging high in the sky, dyeing the surrounding area golden, and emitting astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy. When the bright light flashed, the light stream poured down from the sky.
The effect of this technique is second only to Lu Zhong's Thunder Marsh.
After a while, all the insect swarms were wiped out.
Looking at the fly ashes scattered on the ground, Ye Panyan's face became unhappy, and he sighed: "Even on the periphery of the maze, there are such a number of holy corpses dormant. According to my understanding of this prison, and the third
With the number of evil beings imprisoned in the Third Cardinal Academy, I'm afraid there are even more powerful holy corpse beasts lurking in the dark."
The so-called Holy Corpse Beast is a monster like the Holy Corpse Mole, which has devoured the bodies of many evil bodies.
Then the two continued to move forward.
Just as Ye Panyan expected, he was attacked frequently on the way.
During this process, Ye Panyan was unfortunately injured, and one of his arms was almost crushed when he was dealing with a powerful holy corpse beast. It was Lu Zhong who saw that the situation was not good and reached out to help in time, otherwise the consequences would be even worse.
Bad.
Stumbling along the way.
Although the two of them have been walking on the right route, they always have stops and starts along the way. From time to time they have to stop for repairs or to deal with the Holy Corpse Beast blocking the way.
So several months have passed and we still haven't walked through half of the maze.
"Boom!"
The floor shook again.
Then, the frequency became higher and higher every time.
Ye Panyan noticed this, his already gloomy face became even gloomier, and he said with a look of reluctance: "It has been so long, but the old monster outside has not given up, and the noise is getting louder and louder.
, I'm afraid they really found a solution. Or maybe, as I suspected before, the fallen immortals have already intervened."
The former is fine, but if the latter is possible...
As he spoke, the floor shook violently again.
This time the vision was even more obvious, and even the restrictions in the maze changed in light and dark.
"No, we need to speed up!"
When he said this, Ye Panyan glanced at the blessing in his palm, as if he had made a decision, then turned to Lu Zhong and said: "Originally, keeping a low profile and growing up in darkness was the best choice. But now the third
The Cardinal's Court is about to be captured. In order to revive the Taoist Alliance, this fortress must not fall into the hands of outsiders!"
"So?" Lu Zhong asked.
"There is one last way, and that is to call the guardian fairy here! The golden tree is blessing me, and as long as it is willing to admit it, I can take charge of this place immediately."
Having said this, Ye Panyan changed the topic and his expression became extremely solemn.
"Just like this, my identity is exposed."
Lu Zhong understood what he meant.
Once Ye Panyan's identity is exposed, the banner of reviving the Taoist Alliance he holds high will also be known to everyone.
It is equivalent to walking from the dark to the stage in the light.
Suddenly, Ye Panyan smiled easily.
"To be honest, I had expected that such a day would come to me."
"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Lu, you don't have to be like this."
After saying that, he raised the mark on his palm.
As the golden light dissipates, the phantom of the golden tree can be seen flashing away.
Immediately afterwards, the light spread into a golden space, isolating everything around it, and a figure with its back to the two of them also entered the field of vision of Lu Zhong and Ye Panyan. It was a black cat wearing a bamboo hat. It stretched out first
He stretched his waist, then showed a humanoid lazy expression, and looked at the person in front of him with a pair of green eyes.
For Lu Zhong, it directly ignored him.
The cat in the bamboo hat fell on Ye Panyan, showed a playful expression, smiled slightly and said: "Blessed by the golden tree? I didn't expect that in this era, there are still people who can get such an honor. If those old people are still alive, I'm afraid that their eyes will
The Zihui fell all over the floor. It's a pity that the Taoist Alliance has long since ceased to exist."
"So, blessed one of the golden tree, what do you ask of me?"
Hearing this, Ye Panyan hurriedly expressed his request.
Unexpectedly, when the Cat in the Bamboo Hat heard this, he immediately put on a high profile and sneered: "What do you mean? It turns out to be this request. If it were someone else, I would naturally refuse it, but since you are
Blesser, it’s not impossible, but you must agree to my conditions.”
Immediately, the guarding fairy breathed out more than ten conditions.
These conditions were extremely harsh, and regardless of whether Ye Panyan would accept them or not, at least Lu Zhong frowned when he heard them.
In his opinion, it was tantamount to a contract to sell oneself.
If the Taoist League is revived in the future, I really wonder who will be the master of the Taoist League?
When we got here, Lu Zhong couldn't stand it anymore.
Be prepared to reveal your identity immediately.
But before that, we still need to experiment.
Deducing the future!
This time, Lu Zhong did not hesitate to use nine breaths of time to make sure that he would not attract any attention if he showed his killing sword in this golden space, even if the power of the golden tree species was not consumed.
In fact, he only needs to activate his breath to make the guarding fairy surrender.
Back to the real world.
Lu Zhong secretly communicated with the fairy as he deduced.
"What, you, you, you! Impossible!"
The cat in a bamboo hat was so surprised that he almost jumped up.
But after several confirmations, it was certain that the person standing in front of it was indeed the patrolling angel holding the Heavenly Dao Killing Sword, and finally had to accept this fact.
Recalling just now, I ignored the immortal envoy and made a request to Ye Panyan.
The cat in a bamboo hat suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If the person in front of me is willing, it only needs a word, even if it is the guardian spirit of this fortress, it can be directly obliterated without fulfilling any conditions.
When he thought of this, he forced a smile:
"Old, this old slave deserves to die. Please forgive me, the Immortal Envoy, and let me go."
Hearing these words of begging for mercy, Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh at the fairy's arrogance and respectful attitude. His attitude could suddenly change from claiming to be his true self to an old slave. It was really an eye-opener for him.
Suddenly, he thought of something and sneered.
"Hmph, if what I expected is correct, you must be evil, right?"
"Your Excellency, you are so perceptive that you can tell the origin of the old slave at a glance! You are right, the old slave was indeed a heretic and evil, but that was all a long time ago. Later, thanks to the enlightenment of the immortal way, the old slave became what he is today.
Achievements, and became the guardian spirit of this fortress." The cat in the hat said with a flattering look.
It really is!
Lu Zhong thought to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he began to think about how to deal with this fairy.
