Chapter 173

Mu Chen and Ye Shi walked quietly and obediently behind a few people.

Mu Chen soon discovered that the place they were going to was the legendary forbidden land where even the emperor could not return.

Along the way, they encountered more than a dozen king-level monsters, all of which were quickly and decisively dealt with by several emperor-level masters.

Realizing that he was dealing with several emperor-level masters, even though Ye Shi had always been extremely bold, he felt a little uneasy.

"Senior, where are we going?" Ye Shi couldn't help but ask with gritted teeth.

Lou Qing smiled and said, "What a great place! You'll understand when you get there, my friends. You two are so lucky! The place we're going to will bring you great fortune and benefit you for the rest of your lives! When I was young like you, I didn't have such luck."

"Thank you very much, senior." Ye Shi said with a forced smile.

"Sure, sure." Lou Qing had a good-natured expression on his face.

Ye Shi nervously grabbed Mu Chen's hand. Mu Chen held Ye Shi's hand in return and gave Ye Shi a reassuring look.

Mu Chen gritted his teeth and thought secretly: The other party went to such great lengths to capture them, they must be able to use them and will not kill them easily.

Mu Chen looked at Lin Moyuan with some wariness. Lin Moyuan was a fifth-level formation master. Mu Chen knew that among this group of people, the one he really relied on was this person. He and Ye Shi were just two backups, and this person seemed to have some ill intentions towards Ye Shi.

Mu Chen sighed lightly. He had planned to wait until he was stronger before coming to the forbidden land, but he didn't expect... things in the world are unpredictable and beyond our control!

I don’t know what his cheap master is doing now...Xiong Wei might be getting mad with anxiety.

As they continued to go deeper, they encountered more and more dangers. Ning Huai was even accidentally injured while dealing with an emperor-level monster.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi could not intervene in such a high-level battle and could only hide aside and watch the excitement. They were intact throughout the whole process.

"We're here." Lou Qing said with a gloomy face.

"What's going on? Why is there a nest of colorful blood doves at the entrance?" Ning Huai said with a grim expression.

"Last time, we attacked the formation. Although we didn't break it, it seemed to have caused a certain impact, causing the spiritual energy of the forbidden area to leak out, and thus attracted this group of seven-colored blood doves." Lu Xingfeng put his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and said lightly.

After a few people felt it, they found that the vitality around them was indeed richer than other places.

The seven-colored blood dove is full of poison, and it is good at flying, making it very tricky.

"What should we do? Should we fight head-on? I don't want to have a head-on confrontation with these beasts." Gu Miaoyu said with a frown.

Among this nest of seven-colored blood doves, three are level six. Even if they rush in together, they won't be able to gain any advantage.

Ye Shi gritted his teeth and leaned on Mu Chen. The pressure emitted by the seven-colored blood dove made him very uncomfortable.

"There's no need for us to fight head-on. The seven-colored blood doves like poisons. I happen to have a bottle of bitter poison. We just need to use the bitter poison to lure these seven-colored blood doves away." Lin Moyuan said.

Gu Miaoyu narrowed her eyes and said with interest, "That's a good idea! But who will lure the seven-colored blood dove away?"

Gu Miaoyu looked at Mu Chen and Ye Shi with interest. Ye Shi subconsciously wanted to hide behind Mu Chen, but suddenly thought of something and stood in front of Mu Chen again.

"Why bother? Do we need someone to go? Doesn't Brother Lu have a Swift Eagle? I think this spirit pet is more suitable." Lou Qing rolled his eyes and said.

Lou Qing was not specifically protecting Mu Chen and Ye Shi, but it would not be of much use if the two of them went. Mu Chen and Ye Shi were only at the level of martial spirits. Even if they went to lure the seven-colored blood doves, how long could they lure them away? By that time, the two of them would be dead, and the seven-colored blood doves would return in double digits, and they would have lost a bottle of bitter poison in vain.

Lu Xingfeng's Swift Eagle is a level five spiritual pet. It has no other special abilities, but it flies very fast. If that spiritual pet takes action, it can buy more time and have a greater chance of winning.

As soon as Lou Qing said this, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Xingfeng.

"I didn't expect that Brother Lou would actually be thinking about my Swift Eagle?" Lu Xingfeng's voice was a little cold, and his eyes looked at Lou Qing with a little coldness.

Lou Qing smiled dryly, "Brother Lu, in this situation, your Swift Eagle is the most appropriate. If your Swift Eagle can really lure these seven-colored blood doves away, then all your hard work in raising it will be worth it."

Lu Xingfeng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, but after we go in, no matter what's inside, I have to pick one thing first."

"Of course." Lou Qing glanced at Gu Miaoyu and the others and said.

"I want to pick one first too. The value of Bitterness is no less than that of the Swift Wind Eagle." Lin Moyuan said coldly.

Lou Qing, Gu Miaoyu and others looked at each other and nodded again.

The bitter poison can even kill emperor-level masters, and its value is indeed no less than that of a level five Swift Eagle.

Ye Shi bit his lip nervously and stood aside silently.

"The Swift Eagle will lead this nest of colorful blood doves away soon. We must hurry to break the formation before the blood doves come back. If we can't break it, it will be troublesome to lure the blood doves back." Lu Xingfeng said coldly.

"Brother Lin, are you sure that if we attack the four directions of gold, wood, water and earth at the same time, we can break the formation?" Lou Qing asked Lin Moyuan with some uneasiness.

Lin Moyuan was invited later by a few people. The reason for inviting him was that they wanted to take advantage of his formation strength.

"Of course, as long as there is no problem with the formation diagram you copied for me, then there will be no problem with my method." Lin Moyuan said confidently.

Lu Xingfeng nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let's get started."

Lu Xingfeng hung the bitter poison on the neck of the swift eagle and let it fly away. Smelling the bitter poison, several colorful blood doves rushed towards the swift eagle.

"Let's do it." As soon as the seven-colored blood dove left, several people rushed towards the entrance at the same time and attacked the formation.

"Boom", the formation emitted a burst of light and shattered. Before the few people could be happy, they saw that there was another formation behind the formation.

"What the hell is this?" Gu Miaoyu asked with wide eyes.

"A formation within a formation." Lin Moyuan said with narrowed eyes. The outer formation was broken, and the inner formation was revealed.

"Brother Lin, what should we do?" Ning Huai asked anxiously. If the Seven-Colored Blood Dove flew back, all our efforts would be wasted. Maybe we'd have to fight a fierce battle.

Lin Moyuan gritted his teeth and started to calculate quickly, but the formation inside was more complicated than the one outside. Lin Moyuan was an emperor-level master, but his formation level was only level five. For a moment, he couldn't find any clues.

A green light flashed in Ye Shi's eyes.

"Attack here, break this formation node, and the formation will be broken." Ye Shi said immediately.

Each of these people has ulterior motives, and Ye Shi is actually unwilling to help. However, if he does not help, the first people eaten by the blood doves when they fly back may be Mu Chen and him.

Lin Moyuan glanced at Ye Shi and said without hesitation: "Do as he says." Lin Moyuan looked at Ye Shi and saw a green light in his eyes, feeling envious.

"Bang." The formation was broken.

Before they could be happy, Lin Moyuan and the others quickly entered the formation. As soon as they passed through the formation, bursts of sharp bird calls rang out.

Mu Chen grabbed Ye Shi and pulled him into the formation.

Looking at the seven-colored blood dove with a ferocious expression that was blocked outside the formation, Ye Shi patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Young man, you have a very good eye!" Lu Xingfeng looked at Ye Shi and said with admiration.

Ye Shi pursed his lips, smiled palely, and said, "Senior, you are too kind."

For some reason, he felt that Lu Xingfeng's words were not praise, but rather gloating.

Lin Moyuan looked at Ye Shi eagerly. Ye Shi lowered his head and avoided Lin Moyuan's gaze. Ye Shi felt that Lin Moyuan's eyes were like a knife.

Zhuang Yu looked at Ye Shi with a dim gaze.

"Bang bang bang." The sound of a series of magical attacks came over.

"That group of colorful blood doves are attacking the formation." Ning Huai said.

"Those damn beasts also want to come in and get a piece of the pie." Gu Miaoyu said unhappily.

They broke through the gap in the formation. The intelligence of the Seven-Colored Blood Dove was obviously not low, but it did not understand the formation yet and only knew how to rush around recklessly.

Lin Moyuan inserted a series of spells into the formation and restored it.

"This formation can probably hold back these blood doves for a while." Lin Moyuan said with a grim expression.

"Let's go quickly." Lou Qing said.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi bit their lips and followed behind a few people.

Zhuang Yu frowned and couldn't help but said, "Senior Lu, what on earth is this place? Such rich vitality!"

Lu Xingfeng smiled and said, "This is the place where a martial arts master practiced ten thousand years ago." Times have changed, and no matter how powerful a person is, he will die one day.

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Because of his appearance, Zhuang Yu's fate has changed a lot, and the original route in the book is also different.

The forbidden land, ten thousand years ago, was the place where a martial arts master practiced. It seems to be recorded in the book!

Mu Chen grabbed Ye Shi's hand and followed several strong men forward. Not long after, a towering palace came into their sight.

"This Panlong Pillar looks good!" Ning Huai said.

"This Panlong Pillar seems to be infused with sixth-level secret gold, it's really good." Lin Moyuan said coldly.

Ning Huai smiled and said, "Although I have incorporated this sixth-level material, it's not much. I'll find a weapon refiner to refine the secret gold, exchange it for Yuanshi, and then divide it equally among you."

Lin Moyuan and others nodded in agreement.

Ye Shi pursed his lips and thought secretly: Even an emperor-level master treats treasures in this way!

Mu Chen and Ye Shi followed behind a few people and watched them collect treasures. Along the way, several masters made some gains, but the gains were not very big.

Several people walked into a studio. "So many paintings!" Gu Miaoyu said in surprise.

"I didn't expect that the powerful Wu Zong was actually a person who loved painting."

Hundreds of paintings are displayed in the studio, each one is lifelike.

Mu Chen's eyes quickly swept across the scrolls and his gaze quietly fell on the painting at the door. The painting depicted a man with an elegant appearance. The man's appearance was not too outstanding, but he seemed to have a temperament as gentle as jade.

Just as Zhuang Yu was about to take the painting, the portrait was already in Mu Chen's hand.

"Mu Chen..." Zhuang Yu called out subconsciously.

Mu Chen grabbed the portrait in one hand and Ye Shi's hand in the other. A burst of golden light burst out from the portrait, sweeping both Mu Chen and Ye Shi in.

"What do you two want to do?" Ning Huai asked in surprise.

When Lu Xingfeng and others realized something was wrong, Mu Chen had already activated the teleportation array on the scroll.

Lin Moyuan swung his sword and slashed at the teleportation array. The teleportation array emitted a golden light and bounced Lin Moyuan away. Before the teleportation array was activated, anyone could easily destroy it, but once the teleportation array was activated, even a Martial Emperor could not reverse it.

Several emperor-level masters watched Mu Chen and Ye Shi disappear before their eyes.
