Chapter 455: Taking Action

"Hold it steady!" Yun Qingqing reminded, and flew straight down on the sword.

She swooped down, clasped her hands together, and pointed directly at a point on the mountain protection formation. A flash of light flashed through her fingertips, and she pointed at that point.

An imperceptible ray of light formed an array pattern, imprinted on the invisible outer shell of the mountain protection array.

Xiao Changheng vaguely saw a small piece of the invisible barrier, which faintly lit up, showed spider-web-like cracks, and then disappeared.

Yun Qingqing's fingertips were like a dragonfly skimming the water, and they separated as soon as they touched the formation, and the two of them flew high into the sky again.

Almost at the same moment when the two left, a sword of heaven and earth fell straight down from the sky, and the huge spiritual power pressure brought up a gust of wind.

There was a loud roar, and when Xiao Changheng turned around, he saw that the mountain protection formation that had been indestructible was pierced through at one point, leaving a big hole.

Then the cracks in the cave spread in all directions, and the entire formation began to slowly dissipate.

Xiao Changheng felt relieved.

He didn't know what this meant, but Kong Zhao and the elders of Shuihua Sect were all overjoyed.

Because the mountain protection formation usually has the function of self-repair, even if it is partially pierced, it will quickly close up and recover bit by bit. It is necessary to let everyone in as soon as possible.

The Leihuo Sect's formation actually requires the Sword of Heaven and Earth to break through. They had already prepared to close the formation immediately after it was broken.

Unexpectedly, this great formation was broken directly.

Kong Zhao exchanged glances with several elders and immediately ordered everyone to rush in.

An elder suddenly called her hesitantly:

"Wait, Sect Master! This great formation... was broken just like that. Could it be that the people inside deliberately revealed a flaw? Shouldn't we be more cautious?"

Kong Zhao paused, pondered for a moment and said:

"Perhaps it is precisely because it cannot repair itself that it is so difficult to break..."

When the elders heard her say this, they thought it made sense.

Kong Zhao said coldly:

"No matter what, my disciples are trapped inside. We must go into the mountains. Let's go!"

Upon receiving the order, everyone flew into the mountain on their swords, and the senior disciples on the periphery immediately followed.

Yun Qingqing continued to maintain the concealment formation and followed behind without anyone noticing.

Kong Zhao and others flew all the way to the main peak, paying attention to the movements in the mountain. They originally planned that if they saw a disciple of Leihuo Sect on the way, they would capture one and force him to tell them the whereabouts of their imprisoned disciple.

However, after flying forward for a while, I suddenly saw several people lying on the ground.

Kong Zhao gave a gesture and everyone landed together and went forward to take a look.

I saw that these people were wearing the same gray clothes with dark red patterns. They all had ferocious faces and wide-open eyes. They were already dead.

A disciple exclaimed:

"Aren't these... all members of the Thunder Fire Sect? How could they die in their own sect?"

Kong Zhao narrowed his eyes, flew into the air on his sword again, and looked around.

The elders also came to her side and looked around, their faces becoming serious:

"This Thunder Fire Sect...something's wrong..."

"It seems...there is no movement in the entire sect. What's going on?"

"Could it be that he was attacked by his enemies?"

Kong Zhao looked into the distance solemnly, his expression slightly stern:

"Quick, split up and look for the person. Once you find him, signal immediately! If you still can't find him, come back here and gather..."

Kong Zhao was planning an action plan when Yun Qingqing frowned and raised his right wrist.

A colorful butterfly pattern on her wrist suddenly burst into light, floated up in a moment, and turned into a colorful spirit butterfly the size of a leaf.

It was the Qianlong Huandie left to her by his disciple Qi Mo.

As soon as Yun Qingqing thought about it, Qianlong flew out of the range of Concealing the Sky and the Sea, passed by Kong Zhao and others not far away, and flew straight into the distance.

Kong Zhao didn't know where the butterfly came from, he just felt it was weird.

Now the whole mountain is dead silent, without even the sound of birds or insects. This butterfly that is obviously full of spiritual energy is particularly strange, and it is hard not to think that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes.

Her eyes narrowed, and she immediately changed her mind and said in a deep voice:

"Chase!"

Everyone flew on their swords and chased after Qian Long.

The Qianlong Huandie was originally swaying and not flying very fast, but after Kong Zhao and others started chasing it, they found that although it seemed to be flying slowly, they could not catch up with it at all.

This time, Yun Qingqing was one step ahead of everyone else and followed closely behind Qian Long. She quickly made a hand gesture and threw it behind her.

Xiao Changheng only felt that she threw a ball of light at him, which sank into the black jade pendant on his waist. He was slightly stunned.

Just when I was confused, I heard Yun Qingqing's serious voice:

"I have already placed the technique of concealing the truth into the black jade pendant."

Xiao Changheng's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice:

"You...are going to take action?"

Yun Qingqing nodded, without looking back, and said quickly:

"This is a covert operation. As long as you don't take the initiative to attack, no one will find you. I don't know how the situation will develop. You better protect yourself."

As they were talking, the Shuihua Sect members had already chased the butterfly to a place not far from the top of the mountain, only to see it suddenly dive down, pass through the wall and disappear into the roof of a temple, without a trace.

Kong Zhao and the others stopped above and hesitated for a moment. Kong Zhao whispered an order:

"Go down and take a look!"
