Chapter 1386 The Battle for the Jade Box
Due to Luo Qing's sudden appearance, subtle changes occurred in the relationships among everyone in the hall.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin were naturally on the same side, but Yang Jianying and Liang Yan had an alliance for a long time and now stood by his side.
Although the remaining two people, Luo Qing and Yu Dongyang, were strangers to each other, in this case, the only way to compete with the other three who had the numerical advantage was to form an alliance.
Yu Dongyang's eyes flickered for a few times, and he slowly put away the heart of "Red Eyes and Fire Scales".
No one wants to die together unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Ghost boy, Shadow Lao, Swordsman, Xiangnu, come back!"
Following Yu Dongyang's order, the four puppets who had fought with Liang Yan and Wuxin returned to Yu Dongyang at the same time, protecting him behind them.
Without the entanglement of the puppet, Liang Yan also raised his hand and took the four sword pills back to his side.
Now the situation in the hall has changed again. With the addition of Luo Qing, although Liang Yan still has the upper hand, it is not an absolute advantage.
In Yu Dongyang's heart, as long as he and Luo Qing join forces, even if they can't defeat the three people on the other side, they are somewhat sure of surviving.
In contrast, Liang Yan was not in a hurry to take action.
Because he didn't know Luo Qing's strength, he could only test it out with words first.
"How to divide the treasures?"
After listening to Liang Yan's words, Luo Qing chuckled and shook her head: "The things haven't been unsealed yet. You are too impatient. Do you think the seal here is so simple?"
"Oh?" Liang Yan frowned, looked around, and asked, "I would like to ask your Excellency to clarify my doubts. Is there another mystery here?"
After Luo Qing heard this, she smiled slightly and did not answer. She just raised her hand and a ray of rays of light shot out from her fingertips.
This ray of light transformed into a snow-white crane in mid-air, spread its wings, made a clear cry, and flew slowly towards the central balcony.
Seeing this, Wu Xin's expression changed slightly, and he was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Liang Yan.
"It's not that simple. Let's take a look first and then talk."
"What if he steals the treasure?" Wu Xin was worried.
"He doesn't dare. Yang Jianying's 'White Scale Sword' has already locked onto him, and my Dingguang Sword Pill is also nearby. If he dares to seize the treasure, Yang Jianying and I will attack immediately!"
"good"
After listening to Liang Yan's words, Wu Xin took back the steps he took and stepped back.
In just this moment, the crane transformed by Luo Qing's spiritual power had already flown near the tower, and the spiritual barrier was activated instantly, trying to block the crane from outside.
However, two rays of red light shot out from the eyes of the crane, and actually tore a crack in the intact spirit isolation array, and then drilled inward, so openly.
"What a good Luo Qing, his methods are not bad!"
Liang Yan and Wu Xin were both a little surprised when they saw this, and at the same time they secretly increased their vigilance.
You must know that the spirit separation magic circle is so mysterious that the two of them couldn't crack it after trying for a long time, but Luo Qing was very easy to solve it and cleverly solved it with a strange crane.
After the crane entered the tower, it seemed to be under some pressure, and began to slow down, slowly flying upward along the stairs.
Just when it was flying halfway, a blue glow suddenly shot out from the top of the tower, quickly expanded in mid-air, and finally turned into a blue vortex.
Powerful and strange power spread out from the whirlpool. Even from a distance, Liang Yan, Wu Xin, Yang Jianying, and Yu Dongyang could feel their hearts palpitating.
Luo Qing's crane did not move forward, but turned around and wanted to fly out of the balcony.
However, a big hand stretched out from the blue whirlpool, grabbed the crane's neck, dragged it back, and finally sank into the depths of the whirlpool, never moving again.
Poor this crane, it didn't even have a chance to resist and struggle, so it just disappeared.
After everything calmed down, silence returned to the tower, as if it had lost its target. The blue vortex in the air became lighter and lighter, and finally dispersed.
"There are really restrictions!"
Liang Yan secretly marveled, and Wu Xin looked at each other, and both saw a hint of fear in the other's eyes.
If, after destroying the ice coffin stone figurine and the strange human face, he had not recovered from his injuries here but had gone all out to get the treasure, I'm afraid he would have ended up the same as this crane.
"The mechanisms here are really intertwined and impossible to guard against. The person who set up the seal in the first place is definitely not simple." Wuxin said secretly through a message.
"Not bad." Liang Yan agreed, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out. Tianji Pavilion had been destroyed. Who set the seal here?
Just as the two of them were communicating secretly, Luo Qing coughed and slowly said: "Everyone, you have all seen it. This is the Confucian sect's 'Xuanxin Mote Array'. If Luo Mou guessed it correctly, , before I came, you should have killed a formation spirit guarding the formation."
"indeed so."
Faced with Luo Qing's question, Liang Yan did not hide anything and said truthfully: "There was an ice coffin here before, and there was a stone figurine in the ice coffin. It should be the guarding formation spirit you mentioned."
"That's right."
Luo Qing nodded and said: "The power of an ordinary large array will be greatly reduced if the array spirit is destroyed, but this 'Xuanxin Mote Array' is a strange array of the Confucian sect. After the array spirit is destroyed, the magic power will be dispersed." Entering the formation, feeding back the formation, giving birth to new magical powers. Some monks who don't know how to follow the formation, if they break into it immediately after finally destroying the formation spirits guarding the formation, they will be plotted like this, and they will die inexplicably. .”
If Luo Qing's words had been said before today, Liang Yan would have just regarded him as nonsense, but when he saw it with his own eyes today, he was amazed and even more afraid of this person.
"Your Excellency is truly knowledgeable in formations. Not to mention seeing through the Ghost Hand Scholar's 'Ten Kills in Ghost Realm' formation on Suixu Mountain, you also know the formations left behind by ancient Confucian sects such as Tianji Pavilion. It's really impressive." I admire you so much!" Liang Yan stared at Luo Qing and said slowly.
"Haha, it's just a strange skill. Thank you for your praise from fellow Taoists." Luo Qing responded lukewarmly.
"Since my Taoist friend has learned so much about formations, please tell me how to break the 'Xuanxin Mote Formation' in front of you?" Liang Yan continued.
"Simple."
Luo Qing pointed around the balcony and said with a smile: "The 'Xuanxin Mote Array' has five formation eyes, which are located in five directions: east, south, west, north and center. Whenever one of the formation eyes is attacked, The remaining four formation eyes will send spiritual power at the same time to repair the attacked formation eye. If we only rely on the strength of one person, we will inevitably lose sight of one and it will be difficult to break this formation. But now we have five people, as long as we follow my method, By destroying five formation eyes at the same time, you can crack this great formation."
After hearing Luo Qing's words, everyone in the palace did not answer immediately, but each began to ponder.
"Friend Luo Qing, I have a question."
Yu Dongyang, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked: "Even if what you said is true, there is still a question. After the formation is broken, who will own the treasures in the tower? "
"This is it"
Luo Qing laughed and said, "Do you need to say more? Since ancient times, heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been obtained by those who are destined to get them. We will see who is destined to get this magic weapon later."
The so-called "the one who is destined to get it" actually means that the strong will get it. The meaning of Luo Qing's words is very clear. Whoever grabs this inherited magic weapon will belong to him!
Yu Dongyang chuckled, squinted his eyes and said: "Fellow Taoist Luo Qing, you may not know it just now that you came in. In fact, the three of them have already made an appointment with Liang Yanliang, Hu Chenyu and Yang Jianying from the Yang family. Offensive and defensive alliance. I'm afraid you'll still be kept in the dark, and when the time comes, you'll work so hard to crack the formation, but you'll end up making it a wedding dress for others."
"It turns out it's an alliance."
Luo Qing smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "Since they can form an alliance, we can also form an alliance. Besides, this magic weapon is the key to the next level. Will you give up?"
His words made several people present slightly stunned.
"Is this magic weapon the key to the next level?" Yang Jianying and Yu Dongyang both looked surprised. Obviously, they didn't know the foundation of this place and only thought it was a good-grade magic weapon.
As for Liang Yan and Wu Xin, they learned the truth from the Eight-Armed Sword Ape, but they did not expect that Luo Qing also knew. Obviously, this person also had a special experience.
"The key to the next level, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Yu Dongyang's face showed suspicion.
"I can swear to my inner demon that I never lied to you about what I just said!" Luo Qing said with a solemn expression.
"That's right." Liang Yan also nodded and said: "The magic weapon in the tower is indeed the key to the next level! In fact, we don't have to be so deadlocked. First, follow what Luo Qing said, and break the formation. How about we let the spirit of this magic weapon open the space channel for us, and then discuss the ownership of this magic weapon after everyone has entered the next level?"
"This is a good suggestion." Yu Dongyang was moved. He didn't need this magic weapon, but he couldn't give up the opportunity to enter the next level.
"In that case, please ask Fellow Taoist Luo Qing to tell you how to break the formation." Seeing Yu Dongyang's move, Wu Xin immediately spoke and asked Luo Qing about how to break the formation.
Luo Qing nodded, and then he explained in detail the methods of cracking each formation. There were many ingenious methods that made Liang Yan find everything new.
"Okay, these are the ways to break the formation. As long as you follow my instructions and perform your duties, you can break this 'Xuanxin Mote Formation' without taking a cup of tea." Luo Qing said very confidently. said.
"In that case, let me crack the northern formation." Yu Dongyang picked one first.
"Leave the east side to me." Yang Jianying spoke for the second time.
"I'll crack the middle one." Liang Yan thought for a while and said.
There were two formations left in the west and south, and Luo Qing and Wuxin each chose one.
In the palace, everyone has already taken their positions.
"Do it!"
As Luo Qing's signal was sent out, the five geniuses chanted incantations almost at the same time, and shot out a series of spells towards the central balcony.
Click! Click! Click.
As if sensing something, the rays of light burst out above the tower, and the blue vortex appeared again, seeming to want to destroy the intruders.
However, Luo Qing had already expected this. The method he taught the others cleverly avoided the blue vortex, and went straight inward to Huanglong, sending mana directly to the center of the formation.
As the five geniuses cast spells, auras of different colors penetrated the formation eyes of the tower from different directions.
The originally impregnable and flawless tower restrictions began to loosen after the five people joined forces to break the formation.
Boom!
The entire tower began to shake, the array eyes became loose, the aura dimmed, and the power of the restriction was rapidly weakening.
With just a cup of tea, the ice tower was already crumbling, but the jade box on top was glowing with glow.
Obviously, after the restriction was loosened, the power of the seal could no longer suppress the magic weapon in the jade box.
"The ban is about to be broken!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Xin not far away.
Wu Xin's face was solemn, and he secretly sent a message to him: 'After the ban is completely broken, Yang Jianying and I will hold these two people back, and you go get the treasure first! "
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded without any trace, and saw Wu Xin's eyes flashing, apparently transmitting messages to Yang Jianying.
Yang Jianying naturally had no objection to the arrangement of the two of them.
The three of them quickly made a plan, and just waited for the restriction to be broken to snatch the jade box!
A few more breaths passed, and as the five people continued to cast spells, finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the ice tower fell apart and turned into a pile of broken ice and collapsed.
The jade box containing the magic weapon was currently suspended in mid-air without any restrictive seals around it.
"Do it!"
Wu Xin shouted low and took the lead in attacking. He clapped his palms in the air, and the demonic energy surged out of his body and turned into three ferocious demon heads in mid-air.
One of them had a red face and one eye, opened his mouth and spat out angrily, and endless demonic fire surged out, instantly surrounding Luo Qing's location.
There was another one with no eyes, no nose, and no ears. It was born with a big mouth that almost occupied the entire head. At this time, it swooped over and opened its mouth to bite.
The last demon had three heads and six arms. He was mighty and majestic. He was holding many weapons and slashed at Luo Qing.
Compared to Yu Dongyang, Wuxin was obviously more afraid of Luo Qing, so she took action personally, and it was her ultimate move.
At the same time, Yang Jianying also took action. With a pinch of the sword technique in his hand, the "white scale sword" turned into a white sword light and slashed at Yu Dongyang from a strange angle.
Although everyone had made an agreement before breaking the formation, everyone knew that it was just an empty talk.
What a joke, should we let others get the keys first and then see their faces?
Only by holding the key in your own hands can you take the real initiative.
Therefore, from the moment the tower collapsed, the agreement between everyone was invalidated.
Not only them, Yu Dongyang and Luo Qing also rushed towards the jade box in mid-air, wanting to take the treasure for themselves.
However, Liang Yan has a clear division of labor.
Yu Dongyang and Luo Qing had just set off when Wu Xin and Yang Jianying stopped them. They launched various magical powers at the same time, which was obviously premeditated.
As for Liang Yan, his eyes were fixed on the jade box in mid-air, and his body swayed and disappeared instantly.
When he appeared again, he was less than ten feet away from the jade box.
