Chapter 626: Mine Cave

In the five-member team, Senior Brother Qin, the leader, looked around and said, "I remember there was an abandoned mine tunnel nearby. It's strange, why can't I find it?"

Senior Sister Hu said, "Did you remember it wrongly?"

Senior Brother Qin said, "No, your Senior Brother Xie brought me here once when he was still in the Yunhe battlefield. I remember it very clearly. It was nearby."

The Senior Brother Xie he mentioned, several people had some impression of him. His cultivation was much higher than theirs. Now he has been promoted to the True Lake Realm and left the Yunhe battlefield.

As Senior Brother Qin spoke, he led several people to land, looked around in confusion, and finally cast his eyes on a position.

He walked forward, pushed aside the grass that was as tall as a person, and then gently raised his hand and pressed it on the stone wall in front...

A strange scene appeared. His outstretched hand was clearly pressed on the stone wall, but it seemed to be pressed on the empty space. When the ripples on the stone wall passed by, half of his palm was swallowed.

"It is here!"

"Is this... a concealing formation?" Senior Sister Hu also saw some clues.

Such a place was artificially set up with a concealment formation, which undoubtedly explained some problems. Moreover, this place was within the range where Lu Yiye appeared last. An irresistible thought suddenly popped up in the minds of both of them.

The two looked at each other and were both shocked.

Lu Yiye is inside!

The concealment formation at the entrance of the cave was set up by Lu Yiye!

The mood suddenly became excited, and Senior Sister Hu whispered: "Senior Brother Qin, what should we do?"

Although they had been looking for Lu Ye's trace before, there were so many cultivators looking for Lu Ye's trace at the moment, and they didn't think they could be one step faster than others.

But luck is really hard to explain, and they were the first to make a discovery.

Although Lu Ye was not seen, there was an additional concealment formation at the entrance of the mine tunnel in this position, and anyone could see some clues.

Lu Yiye was now seriously injured and urgently needed to find a hidden and safe place to heal his injuries and rest. Somehow he found this place, so he hid in and set up a concealment formation to block the entrance of the mine tunnel.

If Senior Brother Qin had not been here before and had some impression of the location of this mine tunnel, it would have been impossible to find it.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart and calming down, Senior Brother Qin waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

As he said this, he took the lead to walk towards the stone wall in front, and the ripples passed, and the whole person disappeared.

Senior Sister Hu followed closely, and the remaining three people also stepped in one after another.

After entering the mine tunnel, the light inside dimmed. Under the leadership of Senior Brother Qin, several people walked forward cautiously.

Only thirty feet away, the ghost shadow at the end of the team suddenly felt a warning in his heart, and his heart also beat violently, as if there was a great danger ahead.

He hurriedly whispered, "Senior Brother Qin!"

The voice was not loud, but it seemed extremely abrupt in this quiet environment. Several people were cautious and dared not breathe. At this moment, they were all startled by the ghost shadow's exclamation.

When Senior Brother Qin was about to turn around, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in his vision, followed by a violent spiritual power fluctuation sweeping from the front.

"Retreat!" As he shouted, he retreated rapidly, but was still swept away by the air wave, and a group of people behind him rolled into a ball.

"Cough cough cough..."

In the dust, several people got up in a mess, and felt stars in front of their eyes and buzzing eardrums.

After a long moment, everyone slowly recovered.

"Brother Qin, are you okay?" Sister Hu asked nervously.

"Cough cough, it's okay." Brother Qin covered his chest with his hands, his palms were full of blood, and he was secretly glad that it was fortunate that the ghost shadow called him, otherwise he would have died just now.

It was because of the ghost shadow's shout that he instinctively stopped his body, so he avoided a disaster. Although he was injured now, it was not a big deal after all.

"It's the explosion array!" Brother Qin immediately made a judgment, "Get out quickly!"

It can be confirmed that Lu Yiye is hiding in it! Whether it is the concealment array at the entrance of the cave or the explosion array in the mine tunnel, they are all arranged by him.

If there is a blasting array, there will be a second one... Now that he has suffered a loss, Senior Brother Qin dare not venture forward again.

Several people retreated from the mine in a panic, but just as they retreated, several figures fell in front of them, and many streams of light were rushing towards this side from all directions.

When the blasting array exploded just now, there was a lot of noise, which attracted a large number of monks from Wanmo Ridge who were searching nearby.

In just a short moment, more than 20 people gathered here...

Senior Brother Qin sighed with regret. Originally, they were the first to discover Lu Ye's trace and had a chance to eat alone, but now that the narrow mine tunnel was set up with a blasting array, they had to retreat. It can be predicted that the news will spread soon, and more and more monks will gather here at that time.

Someone came up to talk to Senior Brother Qin and asked what happened just now.

Although Senior Brother Qin didn't want to say it, he knew that such things could not be concealed, so he could only tell his guesses and the information he had at the moment.

After a while, the news that Lu Yiye was hiding in a mine tunnel outside Taimang Mountain spread quickly, and a large number of cultivators gathered at this location.

The cultivators who came at first were not very skilled, all of them were below the sixth level.

But as time passed, the seventh and eighth levels gradually appeared, and after half a day, the first ninth level strongman appeared in front of the mine.

Song Zhui and his group arrived not too late. When they received the news, they rushed here as soon as possible, regardless of their own spiritual power consumption.

But when they arrived, they saw that the mountains and plains were full of monks. There were at least 800 monks gathered here, and the number was still increasing.

What surprised him was that although there were many monks gathered here, they seemed to have no action, just waiting.

There was a faint smell of blood, and it seemed that someone was injured.

Song Zhui saw a few familiar faces. He flew straight to the direction of one of them, landed in front of that person, and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zizai."

This person was Ning Zizai, who had met Song Zhui in the depths of Taimang Mountain before.

"Brother Song is here too." Ning Zizai returned the greeting.

"What's the situation now?" Song Zhui asked.

Ning Zizai said, "It is basically certain that Lu Yiye is hiding in there, but there is no way to force an attack."

"Why?" Song Zhui was puzzled. Since it was confirmed that Lu Yiye was hiding in there, even if so many Wanmo Ridge cultivators rushed in directly, Lu Yiye would definitely die.

"There is a mine tunnel that winds for several miles inside, connecting to a hollowed-out mine cave. Lu Yiye left a large number of explosive arrays in the mine tunnel. Some people have tried to rush in, but they were either dead or injured. Even the one over there...didn't succeed." Ning Zizai said this and gestured in a direction.

Song Zhui turned his head and saw a man sitting cross-legged on the ground. This man was extremely strong. Even if he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he was only a head shorter than the nearby cultivators. It can be imagined how tall he would be if he stood up.

With such a figure and such a physique, he is undoubtedly a physical cultivator, and he is definitely an extremely powerful physical cultivator. However, at this moment, this physical cultivator is covered with blood and his face is slightly pale. It seems that he is seriously injured.

"Wei Zhong!" Song Zhui's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even though he was a cultivator from the first-class sect Yuanhong Hall, he did not dare to underestimate this guy named Wei Zhong. Song Zhui had some understanding of his strength. In a one-on-one fight, he was not sure of winning against the opponent. Moreover, he was a physical cultivator, and his physique was extremely strong. But after forcing his way into the mine tunnel, he was still in such a state. The fate of others must be even worse.

"The narrow space undoubtedly increased the power of the explosion array, otherwise it would not have injured a physical cultivator of the ninth level like this."

Many people tried to enter the mine tunnel before, but each time there were casualties. Until this physical cultivator named Wei Zhong was forced to retreat, no one dared to try easily.

So now all the cultivators of Wanmo Ridge are waiting here.

"It's not a solution to continue waiting like this." Song Zhui frowned, "Is there no Yanshi here? You can let Yanshi drive the creation to explore the way, trigger the formation, and clear the obstacles."

"I tried it, but it didn't work." Ning Zizai shook his head, "The formation arranged by Lu Yiye is manually controlled, not the kind of triggering type."

If so, then Yanshi's creation really can't play a big role, and it may even cause some misleading to the monks.

Imagine that the location explored by the creations, the monks thought it was safe enough, but they stepped into it, and the explosion formation was suddenly activated, which must be another batch of casualties.

Now the situation is really embarrassing. Lu Yiye was seriously injured and was blocked in this mine by many Wanmo Ridge monks. However, because of the various formations he had laid in advance, no one dared to go deep into it at will, and they could only stalemate with him.

Although there is no need to worry about Lu Yiye escaping, it is not a solution to delay like this. The longer the time is delayed, the better the opponent's injuries will be. At that time, it will not be so easy to kill him.

As if seeing Song Zhui's thoughts, Ning Zizai said, "Brother Song, please be patient. Someone is on the way."

"Who?"

"I wonder if Brother Song has heard of the name Si Nan?"

Song Zhui raised his eyebrows: "Si Nan from Yunlang Sect?"

Ning Zizai chuckled: "It seems that Brother Song has heard of him too."

Song Zhui nodded: "I have heard that Yunlang Sect has produced an extraordinary genius in this generation, but I have never had the chance to see him. It turns out that he is also nearby. If he comes, he may be able to compete with Lu Yiye in the art of formation."

Yunlang Sect is a fourth-grade sect, but although the fourth grade is only one grade away from the third grade, there is a world of difference. The third grade has a great cultivator in the Divine Sea Realm, but the fourth grade does not.

The structure of the Jiuzhou cultivation world and the way of recruiting disciples often lead to a phenomenon, that is, the stronger the strong, the more powerful the sect, the higher the qualifications of the disciples recruited, so for any sect, it is not a simple matter to upgrade the sect.
