Chapter 1019 Worry-Free Valley
It was not until the next night that Xiao Chen and the other two arrived at the Mist Flower Forest eight hundred miles away. The forest was shrouded in a layer of light smoke and mist, and there was a faint fragrance floating in the air. When they got closer, they could feel a very unusual spiritual power.
"The aura here is so strange..."
Leng Baihu focused his attention on the surroundings, and Xiao Ling'er naturally felt that the unusual spiritual power came from the end of the Mist Flower Forest.
"Be careful."
Xiao Chen knew that there must be people from the Yun Sect nearby, but with his and Xiao Ling'er's spiritual awareness, it was not difficult to avoid these people, not to mention that these people had been controlled by the three old men's talismans, so there was no need to be too afraid.
The night was dark, and the three of them walked carefully in the Mist Flower Forest. The moonlight in the sky could shine down, but the three of them were in the forest, and they were always like looking for flowers in the fog, and they couldn't see clearly.
About an hour later, the three finally passed through the misty forest. They saw the moonlight at the end, which turned out to be a lake, reflecting the moonlight and sparkling.
"Could this be... the Worry-Free Valley?"
Arriving in front of the lake, Leng Baihu looked around. Everything was clearly visible under the moonlight, the mountains, the water, and the jungle with hundreds of flowers in full bloom, all of which exuded a sense of fairyland.
This place was like a world away from the world, completely different from the deep mountains and evil roads they had passed through before. No wonder so many people couldn't find it. It was so hidden. Even if there were no fierce formations outside, it would not be easy for ordinary people to find it.
"Shh... There are people."
Suddenly, Xiao Ling'er made a gesture to silence, and saw that on the other side of the lake, a few figures suddenly came from a distance, but seeing that those people walked in a very stiff posture, they were probably the disciples of the Yun Sect who were controlled by Fu Yan.
The three of them immediately squatted down to avoid being discovered by the puppets. After a while, they looked around the lake and then walked back.
"Follow them."
After they disappeared in the distance, Xiao Chen immediately followed them and came to a relatively open place. He saw the three old men on the altar sitting cross-legged on the ground, with their palms touching each other. White smoke came out of their backs and heads, as if they were practicing something.
"They are..."
Xiao Ling'er was slightly shocked. She had an extremely powerful "Qi-Seeing Technique" that could easily see through a person's cultivation. At this moment, she could clearly see that the cultivation of the three old men was constantly regressing, slowly approaching that of a mortal...
Even if Xiao Chen did not have this Qi-Seeing Technique, he could still feel that the cultivation aura of the three old men was getting weaker and weaker...
At this moment, he had completely understood that to enter the Worry-Free Valley, one must first pass the restriction, but it was difficult for a cultivator to pass the restriction outside the Worry-Free Valley, so these three people had to "turn" themselves into mortals in an attempt to deceive the world and enter the Worry-Free Valley.
...
By dawn, the cultivation aura of the three old men was almost gone, and they looked like people in the mortal world, but this feeling was not as natural and pure as that of the senior in Suzhou or the old beggar in Qingzhou.
At this moment, Xiao Chen held his breath and stared at the three people in the distance. Although the three people no longer had the aura of cultivators, they could not be said to have returned to their original nature.
The reason why they could make themselves close to ordinary people was all because of the blood pill, and the blood pill was a living pill made by them from countless ordinary people...
"Two junior brothers, what do you think?"
The green-clothed old man opened his eyes first, and at this moment, his eyes were really as calm as ordinary people.
The other two also opened their eyes, looking like the masters who had achieved the Tao and returned to their original nature, but Xiao Chen just smiled coldly in his heart. If he hadn't seen these people's behavior that night, perhaps at this moment he would also think that the three people in front of him were the masters who had returned to their original nature.
"Well, the mystery here is really hard to describe..."
The red-clothed old man took a deep breath, but seeing that he looked like a master at this time, it seemed that even he himself felt that he had returned to his original nature.
The old man in green said, "The effect of the Huafan Pill can only last for twelve hours. Within twelve hours, we must enter the valley."
"Let's go."
The three of them no longer hesitated and immediately stood up and walked deep into the wilderness. The dozens of disciples who had been controlled by the aversion technique followed stiffly like puppets.
The aversion technique can control people's minds, but like the three of them, directly controlling the disciples' thoughts and actions with the aversion talisman, and then manipulating them like dead puppets, can only be regarded as inferior. In the eyes of real aversion masters, it is completely inferior.
After the three of them left, Xiao Chen, Xiao Ling'er and Leng Baihu walked out from behind a big rock.
Xiao Linger frowned slightly, looked at the direction where the three people disappeared, and said, "There seems to be a very powerful forbidden formation over there..."
"Well... be careful."
Xiao Chen walked forward. Although the three people seemed to have temporarily lost their cultivation like himself, he still couldn't be careless at the moment. After all, besides those few people, there was no telling if there were other people nearby.
The three of them carefully followed the three old men from Yunzong to a stone forest. They saw huge stones standing there, and each stone was covered with runes. It seemed that these stones were the base of the forbidden formation.
At this time, in the southeast of the stone formation, the three old men were seen breaking the formation. As for the disciples controlled by Fu Yan, they all stayed outside to prevent sneak attacks.
After a while, the stones began to change positions, and the speed was getting faster and faster. At this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly gathered a large cloud.
Leng Baihu naturally couldn't understand such a profound and mysterious forbidden formation, but Xiao Ling'er seemed to see through it. Suddenly, her face changed, "It's a bit bad..."
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Chen looked at her. In fact, such a complex formation, even he couldn't see through it for a moment, let alone break it.
At this moment, Xiao Ling'er's face turned slightly pale, and she said, "This formation... is the formation to open the Worry-Free Valley, but once the formation is opened by them first, then we can't get in..."
"What should we do?"
Leng Baihu frowned and asked.
Compared to Xiao Chen, he seemed to be more concerned about the method of entering the Worry-Free Valley. After all, he had gone through so many difficulties this time just to find the Worry-Free Valley for Xiao Chen. Now that he finally found it, he could only watch others go in. How could this be possible?
"Wait, let me think..."
Xiao Ling'er also gradually frowned and concentrated on thinking. After a while, she said, "We must interrupt them, and then we will open the formation. Only in this way can it work..."
Just as she finished speaking, a chill suddenly spread behind the three people. Leng Baihu trembled all over. When he turned his head, he saw two puppets standing behind him. Their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were full of gloom. They were very scary.
"Get out of the way!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pushed the two away. At the same time, the two puppets controlled by Fu Yan slapped down with a palm. With a "boom", a huge rock where the three people had just stood was smashed to pieces.
A strong wind blew, and Xiao Ling'er could still barely bear it, but Leng Baihu's blood was churning due to the two palm forces. He had to quickly gather his internal strength to protect his heart meridians.
