Chapter 414 Mingshan, Annihilation
It was more like a corpse than an old man.
The old man sat cross-legged with his back straight, looking just like a normal practitioner meditating.
But his chest had stopped rising and falling, and that unsettling, faint stench of decay was emanating from his body.
The hidden realm was fraught with danger, and Yu Zhiyi had just thoroughly offended the Gao family, so she dared not let her guard down at all.
This must be the cave where the old man ascended to immortality.
High-level mystical arts practitioners usually call themselves cultivators. My master said that it is common for cultivators to kill each other and plunder treasures. If you accidentally die in the wild, there is a high probability that your corpse will be looted.
Therefore, many cultivators, if they sense that they are about to die, will find a secluded cave and die quietly.
Yu Zhiyi wasn't arrogant, but she wasn't a native of the Hidden Realm, nor was she a tomb raider who made a living by digging up graves. She only hesitated for a moment before giving up the idea of touching the corpse.
but……
That puddle, however, caught her attention.
Although the spiritual energy in the hidden realm was already quite dense, the spiritual energy above the puddle was countless times greater than elsewhere, almost solidifying into a tangible substance.
She then used her divine sense to check on the old man's condition, confirming that he was truly dead and that nothing strange was possessing him before she walked to the edge of the puddle.
As soon as she stood still at the edge of the pit, the scene before her suddenly changed.
"An illusion array?"
Yu Zhiyi frowned, flicked her wrist to draw Qingfeng Zhenren's sword, and unleashed a sword aura towards the ground not far away.
boom.
The rocks exploded, and billowing smoke and dust filled the air.
Before long, the smoke and dust dissipated, leaving only a deep ravine.
Yu Zhiyi frowned.
Regardless of the specific formation, the underlying logic of its operation remains the same.
It's like a sturdy house, sitting there steadily and seemingly indestructible, but in reality, it becomes vulnerable as soon as its load-bearing walls are destroyed.
If you can't find a load-bearing wall, attack it with force exceeding its capacity, especially by attacking a single point; it will be destroyed quickly.
This is the method Yu Zhiyi used when she destroyed Ji Guangdai's formation.
The key point of the formation is like a load-bearing wall; it is difficult for someone unfamiliar with formations to find it.
However, the principle remains the same: as long as she violently destroys the other array flags that form the array, the array will still be broken.
She refused to believe in superstition, soared the longsword high into the air, poured half of her spiritual power into it, and then brought it down forcefully.
boom!
The ground instantly cracked open, creating a long, deep crater that stretched for hundreds of meters and was over ten meters deep.
However, the surrounding environment remained unchanged.
"Strange, could it be..."
She suddenly remembered that there was a secret manual on the old man's lap. No matter how much she adhered to moral principles, she was still curious. She glanced at it and saw that the cover of the manual read "Teleportation Array".
So, the puddle was just a decoy, and there was a teleportation array in front of it? Did the old man use this method to protect his corpse?
Thinking about it this way, it's not entirely incomprehensible.
The higher a person's cultivation level, the more sensitive they are to spiritual energy. These people will sense the unusual nature of the puddle as soon as they enter the cave.
Having confirmed that the old man's body was harmless and sensing the unusually rich spiritual energy above the puddle, many people might wonder if the old man had hidden all his treasures in the puddle before he died.
Who would have thought that a teleportation array was hidden by the pit?
Unexpectedly, one will naturally step forward.
Then, it will be sent away without anyone noticing.
Yu Zhiyi felt somewhat helpless.
She had no idea where she had been teleported to.
Left with no other choice, she had to take out the Five Emperors Coins again.
With her current abilities, she can easily perform divination thirty times a day.
Moreover, her divination abilities should have improved after her strength increased.
Sure enough, she calculated the result in just sixteen tries.
He lifted his foot and flew off in the direction the divination had indicated.
The further she walked, the more confused she became.
Why is the surrounding environment becoming more and more familiar?
"Is this... the road to the Martial Alliance?"
Yu Zhiyi frowned, not understanding why the divination result would lead her back to the Martial Alliance.
The news of Qingfeng Zhenren's death must have already reached the Taixu Sect, and the people they sent there have most likely already arrived in the Dasheng Empire.
etc……
Did those people find out about her relationship with the Martial Alliance and have already attacked the Martial Alliance?
Realizing this possibility, she immediately stopped hesitating, applied an invisibility talisman to herself, and quickly flew towards the Martial Alliance.
The speed of a Golden Core cultivator is indeed incomparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; she traveled a thousand miles in less than half a day.
At the foot of Ming Mountain.
Before even reaching the mountain, a gust of wind carried a strong smell of blood.
Yu Zhiyi's body trembled.
"No...it's impossible..."
When she devised the plan to kill Qingfeng Zhenren, she had already considered the troubles that would follow.
Whether it's her mother and younger brother who stayed in Shengjing, or her father, older brother, and uncle's family who stayed in the Martial Alliance, they would all be implicated by her.
So despite feeling extremely guilty, she still asked Xiao Qingxuan to persuade her uncle and the others to leave the Martial Alliance when she saw Xiao Qingxuan off.
No matter where you hide, as long as you can stay alive, that's all that matters.
She also promised that she would find her master as soon as possible and completely resolve this problem.
After sending her mother away, she deliberately delayed taking action for a few more days to give her mother ample time.
But why...?
Golden and black light intertwined in Yu Zhiyi's eyes. Despite her inner resistance, she moved quickly and reached the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye.
Then, I saw corpses all over the ground.
"Mother! Father! Brother!"
Yu Zhiyi's legs went weak, and she almost lost her balance.
Everyone died a very tragic death, especially her closest relatives.
The father and mother were nailed to the wall, with eighty-one thin weapons stuck in their bodies.
My brother's hands and legs were cut off, and his eyes were gouged out.
In contrast, my uncle's family were all killed with a single blow, making their deaths the easiest.
Yu Zhiyi ultimately couldn't maintain her balance and knelt heavily on the ground.
She wanted to say sorry, but the three words seemed stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them.
She thought she would cry, but her eyes were incredibly dry.
She hated herself for being like this.
In that instant, the urge to destroy overwhelmed her like an all-pervasive sea, squeezing out all the air she had and even trying to burst her apart.
Various thoughts flashed through my mind like a fleeting glimpse, but quickly vanished without a trace when I tried to grasp them.
In the end, only one clear image remained.
That was the look in her master's eyes before he left.
His eyes were full of pity: "In your life, you have few family ties, so don't force things."
