Chapter 397: Hidden Move
"Thank you, Senior Shura, for the treasure. I will come back to discuss this matter with you after this matter is over." Yuan Ming smiled and bowed.
Then, he turned around, pushed open the bamboo door, and strode out.
Outside the bamboo door was a secret room illuminated by moonstone. Yuan Ming looked around and was thinking about how to leave here, but suddenly his mind moved. He turned his head and saw that there seemed to be a palm-sized magic circle on the wall beside him.
He pressed his hand on the magic circle, and then heard a "booming" sound. The wall in front of him slowly rose. He walked out quickly and returned to the hall on the second floor of the tower.
At the same time, Wanqi Hong and others also walked out of the secret rooms in different directions. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they didn't seem to have gained much.
Yuan Ming looked at Xiying, but Xiying didn't look at him, but just stood behind Dugu Feng silently.
Wanqi Hong and the other five Yuanying-stage cultivators exchanged glances. Seeing that everyone had returned here intact, they were also a little surprised. When they were about to talk, they suddenly heard a "click" sound in front of them.
...
Just as Yuan Ming and others were undergoing the test, a crystal light flashed outside Yindu City, and a huge chessboard flew over and floated outside the city gate. It was Wu Yuezhi and his group.
Those Jindan-stage cultivators were still on the chessboard, but the chess patterns were completely different, forming a circle.
A black light shield enveloped the entire Tianxing chessboard, which looked indestructible.
"Yindu City! There seems to be a ban in the city, and it is difficult to see the situation inside. It seems not simple." On the Tianxing chessboard, the one-eyed man looked at the city below with a look of surprise.
Other Jindan-stage cultivators were similar, looking at Yindu City endlessly.
Wu Yuezhi also looked into the city. The entire city seemed to be separated by a thick layer of rough crystal, which was not clear, and his spiritual consciousness could not spread into it.
He looked at the beautiful girl next to him, and the girl happened to look over, and they both saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, we have arrived here, and we have reached the depths of the Immortal Palace. Why don't we separate here and look for opportunities on our own? It's not appropriate to continue to move forward together." The one-eyed man bowed to Wu Yuezhi and said.
Others also looked over, with a look of vigilance.
The longer they stayed on the Tianxing chessboard, the more skilled they were in combining their magic power, and the greater their power.
However, the Tianxing chessboard restricted them more deeply, and the surrounding black light shield imprisoned them on the chessboard like a prison.
Wu Yuezhi's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.
"What you said makes sense, so let's separate here." The man in green said suddenly.
"Brother..." Wu Yuezhi seemed to be about to say something, but was stopped by the man in green with his eyes.
Wu Yuezhi reluctantly pinched his fingers and pointed out, and the black light around the huge chessboard dissipated, and everyone on the chessboard regained their freedom.
"Okay, we will repay the kindness of the three Taoist friends after we leave the Immortal Palace." The one-eyed man bowed, and flew away from the chessboard with several Jindan-stage companions and landed in the city.
Other Jindan-stage cultivators also scattered, some entered the city, and some flew away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Brother, why did you let those people go? Once they left, the power of the Tianxing chessboard was greatly reduced. With my third sister here, it would be easy to keep them." Wu Yuezhi said puzzledly.
Although the circular shield disappeared, the spiritual light of the Tianxing chessboard was still there, and the conversation between the three people would not be transmitted to the outside at all.
"Use my six-winged butterfly king Gu, I'm not afraid that they will not obey." The beautiful girl raised her arm, and the loose sleeves slid down, revealing her white wrist.
There was a bright butterfly pattern on the girl's white jade-like forearm, and there were three pairs of wings, each with different colors, one red, one white, and one black, which looked very strange.
"No need. The situation in the Immortal Mansion is changing rapidly. Those people are unsettled. Forcing them to stay will do more harm than good." The man in green shook his head.
"Since you said so, it must be right." Wu Yuezhi immediately changed his attitude and was very convinced by the man in green.
"Indeed, with the strength of the three of us, it is more than enough to break into this Immortal Mansion." The beautiful girl also said.
"Brother, didn't you say that the man sent a message that the illusionary restriction in Yindu City has been broken? Why do I feel that it is still there? Is that person lying to us?" Wu Yuezhi looked at the city below and said.
"No, it's not that person's style to tell such a lie that can be seen at a glance. It should be that some kind of change has occurred in Yindu City, causing the illusion array to take shape again." The man in green said in a deep voice.
"Five or six Yuanying stage joined forces, but they couldn't even completely break an illusion array. What a bunch of trash." Wu Yuezhi showed disdain on his face.
"Don't underestimate them. Wu Lei Sect, Gui Yuan Sect, and Ling Fu Sect are all great sects that have been handed down for thousands of years. Changchun Temple is an evergreen tree in Yunhuang Continent. None of the Nascent Soul cultivators from these sects are easy to deal with. Second brother, you have good qualifications and high skills, but if you underestimate the world's people, you will suffer sooner or later." The man in green said meaningfully.
"Brother is right." Wu Yuezhi's body was shocked and he lowered his head to respond.
"Let's go. We have wasted a lot of time. Let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. According to the message from that person, the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion have not been taken away yet. We can't let others get away with it." The man in green flew down.
Wu Yuezhi and the beautiful girl hurriedly followed.
...
In the second floor of the black tower, accompanied by a "click" sound, the wall cracked again, and the passage to the third floor appeared.
Everyone looked at each other, and under the leadership of Wanqi Hong and other Yuanying period cultivators, they flew towards the passage.
At this moment, a yellow light suddenly appeared in the void above the passage, and the next moment, countless yellow clouds rolled out, instantly covering the entire second-floor space.
The yellow cloud was formed by countless tiny gravels, and the rolling sound was "rustling".
The change was so sudden that everyone, including Wanqi Hong, had not reacted in time. They were surrounded by yellow clouds, and the ground was also covered by yellow clouds.
"A new test? No, someone is playing a trick!" Yuan Ming was stunned, and immediately reacted.
"Su Zimo!" Wanqi Hong roared, and two golden sword lights spurted out of his mouth, slashing at Su Zimo behind the crowd like thunder and lightning.
"Haha, after all, you are the first to discover it, fellow Daoist Wanqi, but it's too late." Su Zimo laughed, pulled the blond and blue-eyed young man, and shot backwards towards the yellow clouds behind, while waving his sleeves.
A yellow silk handkerchief magic weapon shot out, spun around, and turned into a layer of yellow light curtain blocking the golden sword light.
However, the golden sword light was extremely sharp. With a sound of tearing silk, the yellow light curtain was easily cut, but the two golden sword lights also paused for a moment.
Su Zimo and the other two took the opportunity to rush into the yellow cloud and disappeared.
"Don't think about escaping! Combine the two swords!" Wanqi Hong rubbed his hands together and then separated them.
The two sword lights intertwined and overlapped, and the momentum increased several times in an instant, cutting a huge crack in the yellow cloud and chasing in.
The speed of the combined sword light also increased by more than times, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with Su Zimo and the other two and cut them down on their heads.
The blond young man grabbed Su Zimo's shoulder, and the two figures disappeared from the spot with a "swish".
A straight mark appeared in the yellow cloud in front, which was obviously caused by the blond young man flying past with Su Zimo.
A strange color flashed across Yuan Ming's eyes. He was not unfamiliar with the blond youth's body movements. It was the swift body movement that King Kong occasionally used after breaking through the innate body. It was a swift body movement that belonged to physical cultivation.
But King Kong's speed was far less than that of the blond youth.
"It seems that the blond youth is also a physical cultivation!" Yuan Ming thought secretly.
Wanqi Hong also showed a look of surprise on his face, but he did not stop. He controlled the combined sword light to continue to slash forward, breaking through layer after layer of yellow clouds.
However, the yellow cloud was filled with dense and tenacious power, and the speed of the sword light became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely.
There were still many yellow clouds ahead, and the spiritual consciousness was also restricted here. It could not spread too far, and it was unknown how deep it was.
Countless yellow light threads emerged from the yellow cloud and entangled with the golden sword light. The sword light quickly became dim, and the double sword combined magic was automatically released, revealing two golden flying swords.
One after another, the yellow silk was entangled on the flying sword, and soon covered most of the sword body.
Wanqi Hong snorted coldly and made a gesture, and dazzling golden flames rose from the two golden flying swords.
The golden flames emitted an astonishingly high temperature, and the void was also burned slightly, and the yellow light was quickly burned.
The two flying swords regained their brightness, shot backwards, and soon left the range of the yellow cloud.
"This is the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation of Guiyuan Sect! It seems that Su Zimo wants to trap us here and enjoy the treasure alone!" Dugu Feng said in a deep voice, his face full of worry.
A trace of surprise flashed across Yuan Ming's eyes. He still used his emotional ability to sense the people nearby. Although Dugu Feng was full of worry, his emotions did not show any worry.
"Could it be that Dugu Feng knows the situation on the third floor? Can he conclude that Su Zimo will not be able to get the treasure even if he rushes up first?" He thought to himself.
If he enters the space of the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, he can instantly explore the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation and even the situation on the third floor. However, there are many people here, and he must not expose the existence of the Stealing Heaven Cauldron.
"Despicable villain! Everyone, come together and break this yellow sand formation, otherwise the treasure on the third floor will fall into Su Zimo's hands." Lei Ming Patriarch looked grim, and he sacrificed the thunder seal magic weapon and hit the yellow cloud hard.
"Swish--"
Thick lightning tore through the yellow cloud, creating a deep hole.
Others also sacrificed magic weapons and attacked, and the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation was soon riddled with holes.
However, this formation is incredibly resilient, and no matter how much damage it suffers, it can recover.
"Although the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation is a secret formation of Guiyuan Sect, Su Zimo hastily set it up, and it is impossible to have this power!" Lei Ming Patriarch said in a deep voice.
"It seems that Su Zimo used his Tiansha Gourd to enhance the power of the formation. He must have arranged the formation in the gourd a long time ago. It seems that this person has planned it in advance." Dugu Feng said so.
"Yes, that must be the case. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Dugu knows quite a lot about the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation. Do you have any method to break the formation?" Patriarch Lei Ming was stunned for a moment before nodding and asking.
