In a corner of a cliff in a broad valley, obscure runes were suspended in the air, shining brightly and buzzing.
Those densely packed runes flowed through the forest, intertwining into a rather mysterious network pattern around this corner, like a star map rising and falling, filled with golden mist.
The area covered by the runes is about a hundred feet square. In the depths of the forest covered by the runes, there are eight or nine figures, sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing their eyes to rest, and regulating their injuries.
Among the figures, an otherworldly figure stands out, with fluttering clothes, like an immortal descending from the earth, with an unworldly aura.
Most of that pretty face was covered by a veil, and the exposed face was like gelatin, without makeup, like morning glow reflecting snow. Her long eyelashes trembled in the breeze, and she was so beautiful.
At this time, the girl's whole body was exuding golden divine light, bathed in the golden clouds, her jade fingers formed a mysterious handprint, and a dazzling chain of order flowed between her wrists.
On the girl's fair forehead, a purple feather-shaped mark is slowly emerging. As the purple feather mark becomes clearer, the aura exuding from the girl's body becomes more and more powerful.
However, even though the mysterious seal in her body is slowly dissipating and her strength has recovered a lot, Tantai Wanning's pretty face still has a faint look of worry.
Around her, the conditions of Jiang Nian and the other eight people have not improved much. They are all sluggish. Many of their injuries have not yet healed. The previous trauma they suffered was too serious. It is difficult for them to survive until now.
Easy. If they hadn't taken the black stone fish given by Shen Chen earlier, two or three of them would have died of weakness.
At this time, the sunset was gradually setting in the west, and everyone's pale faces were a little anxious, because they knew that once it gets dark, those rats will start to use magic weapons to attack the talisman patterns of the "Wind God Ancient Formation" again.
"You don't need to worry too much. No matter what, we can survive until the day the test ends."
With her beautiful eyes slightly closed, Tantai Wan Ning felt something in her heart. She suddenly opened her eyes like autumn water, with a faint microwave flowing, and softly comforted everyone.
Although what she has mastered now is not the complete ancient wind god formation, it is only a corner of it, but it is enough to withstand the impact of the strong ones in the bone forging realm. The only regret is that... her attainments in wind god art are still very shallow, and she wants to maintain it.
The incomplete ancient formation must use wind magic at all times to inject spiritual power into the ancient formation.
As a result, she had to focus most of her energy on this, and the process of unlocking the seal in her body slowed down too much...
Jiang Nian and others are all direct descendants from the Beifeng Hou Mansion. Naturally, they are aware of the current situation and are actually very passive towards them. During the previous fierce battle, those mysterious people got a magic weapon from nowhere and activated it.
Afterwards, he even casually cracked the Aoki tablets in their hands, depriving them of the opportunity to leave the mountain range.
It can even be said that it is the existence of these eight of them that has dragged down their princess. If not for this, with the girl's supreme qualification of being born with a divine body, it would not be difficult to escape the siege alone. It would take at most a few hours.
, you can unlock the seal within your body, and even if you come back to avenge them, it will be easy.
But...Jiang Nian and others have said similar ideas more than once, but the girl does not agree.
"Your Highness, we are sorry for you..." Not far away, Jiang Tao's injury was slightly lighter. He was squatting there chopping firewood for everyone, his eyes were red.
As the girl said, maybe they can really rely on the power of the Wind God Ancient Formation to last until the last day of the test. However, this means that even if they escape, they are destined to miss the Luo Yunzong.
Eight of them, including their princess.
The reason is very simple. Just after escaping from the beast attack, their group was mercilessly hunted and had no time to search for the tokens. As a result, everyone was now empty-handed and had not even seen what the tokens looked like.
Jiang Tao and the others were able to tolerate their inability to join the Luo Yunzong, but when they thought that Her Highness the Princess would also be implicated, they were filled with grievances and felt that they were unworthy of the Beifeng Hou Mansion and also unworthy of the girl.
"Haha, there is no need for this. The path of a strong man does not have to follow a certain trajectory. Even if I don't join the Luo Yun Sect, I can still reach the peak of a monk!"
On the other hand, Tantai Wan Ning herself was more open-minded, smiling softly and not caring about the success or failure of this test. There was also a touch of pride on her pretty face that turned all living beings upside down.
…
Gradually, night fell, just like the previous nights, near Longyin Valley, black shadows were moving in the wild forest. Soon they gathered in one place, with more than a hundred people, each of them powerful.
It's so excessive that it's hard to believe that they are all juniors under the age of eighteen.
In the darkness, a tall figure wearing a brocade robe appeared near the crowd like a ghost, standing with his hands behind his back and wearing a large bamboo hat.
"Young Master, you are here."
Seeing the man appear, the five leaders of the group quickly stepped forward and bowed humbly.
"You guys have disappointed me..." The man's voice was hoarse, and as soon as he spoke, his tone was filled with a low, cold chill.
"I am incompetent, please forgive me, young master!"
The five masked leaders showed fear in their eyes and hurriedly knelt down on the ground. Around them, hundreds of people in black also knelt down in fear, obviously full of fear of the man.
"Hmph! If this matter goes wrong, the superiors will never let you go. When the time comes, even your respective families will be implicated!"
The man snorted coldly, then flipped his wrist, took out a very strange artifact from the Qiankun Bag, and threw it casually in front of the five leaders.
It was an artifact that looked like a soul-calling banner. The face of the banner was engraved with complex and strange black runes, and a white skull was embroidered in the middle. What was even more eye-catching was that the support for the banner was not a bamboo pole or a metal pole, but a
It's...a human leg bone.
"This Sangmen Banner is a spiritual weapon that can quickly condense evil energy. Together with the 'Demon Blood Book' I gave you earlier, the two combined into one should be enough to break through the ancient wind god formation of the girl."
The man's voice was hoarse and he said coldly: "We must achieve something tonight. We can't delay it any longer. Those old guys from Luo Yunzong may have noticed something strange about you. After successfully attacking Tantai Wan Ning, you should leave the Bahuang Mountains immediately.
Bar."
"yes!"
The five leaders nodded respectfully, picked up the funeral flags on the ground, and quickly swept toward the depths of the valley with hundreds of men in black.
"Born with a divine body? Huh! The Beifeng Hou Mansion wants to use this girl to sweep across Kyushu. It is simply a wishful thinking!" The man stood there and slowly raised his head. Under the bamboo hat, he revealed a pair of gloomy eyes, and then disappeared into the night.
…………
"boom!"
Deep in the wild forest of Longyin Valley, a terrifying vibration suddenly broke the silence of the night.
"Has it started again..." In the ancient formation, Tantai Wanning's pretty face was solemn, her beautiful eyes were burning with two golden flames, and her whole body was exuding golden divine light. The wind magic in her body was running rapidly, activating the ancient formation with all her strength.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the golden runes circulating around have actually dimmed a bit after nightfall, but now, with the girl's full force, the runes are shining brightly again.
This is actually a weakness of the ancient formation. Because the formation is incomplete, if you want to operate it, you must consume the power of the True Yang. During the day, the power of the True Yang floating between the heaven and the earth is very abundant, but after nightfall, it becomes extremely weak.
It's thinner.
At this time, Tantai Wan Ning could only rely on her own powerful spiritual power to make up for it, and as the evil spirit rose from the earth after nightfall, the power of the ancient formation would also weaken a lot.
Those guys who hide their heads and tail clearly know the secret of the Ancient Wind God Formation. For the past few days, they have launched an attack every night after dark, trying to break through the Ancient Wind God Formation to deal with them.
Originally, the girl was used to this kind of confrontation, but for some reason, she was always a little uneasy tonight, as if something was about to happen.
"Book of Blood Sacrifice!"
A hundred feet away, a group of men in black were sneering. At this moment, everyone cut their fingers and spilled a few drops of their own blood.
In mid-air, a simple and eerie paper book was suspended in the air. The pages were filled with large, bright red characters, but the fonts were as obscure as ghost paintings, and every word was absorbing the words of the man in black.
Blood beads coming out.
"Hua Hua Hua~~~" With the injection of blood beads, the pages on the blood book began to turn quickly. At the same time, a fierce and bloody aura also turned into bunches of blood-red light pillars, fiercely impacting everyone.
Ancient formation runes in the distance.
"No need to hesitate, Sangmen Banner should also take action, otherwise things will change if it is too late!"
A leader stood up and sneered, then waved his hand and sacrificed the strange artifact in his hand.
"Woooooooo..."
The mourning gate flags were swaying in mid-air, and shrill sounds could be heard from all around, like howling ghosts and wolves. Even a group of men in black around them found their hair standing on end.
There is no doubt that this is another magic weapon.
"Chi!" "Chi!"
While the mourning gate flags were swaying, there was visible black mist in the surrounding forest, which was gathering crazily towards this side, like squirming black pythons.
"Wow!"
After the rich Yin evil energy condensed near the mourning gate flag, the leader's eyes flashed with a faint light. He pointed his finger out of the air, and a large area of Yin evil energy, like a sea of clouds, surged toward the ancient formation overwhelmingly. In an instant,
, the golden runes were shrouded in black mist.
"Boom!" At the same time, the blood-red light beam emitted from the strange blood book began to hit the golden runes more violently. After a few blows, the large golden runes became much darker.
…
"Well!"
Deep in the ancient formation, Tantai Wan Ning's mind swayed, Miao Man's delicate body trembled slightly, and a faint paleness appeared on her pretty face.
"your Highness!"
Jiang Nian and others shouted in unison. After the black shadows approached again, they had sensed the approaching crisis.
Now, there is really big trouble.
"I'm fine."
Tantai Wan Ning bit her silver teeth lightly, smiled and waved her jade hands.
However, in her heart, the girl began to feel a little panicked. The terrifying power just now made even her feel a little nervous. Those guys who were hiding their heads and showing their tails had most likely summoned some kind of magic weapon to break the ancient
