Chapter 20: The Red Dust of a Hundred Worlds



"Hey, don't be impulsive!" Hearing him shouting in his heart, Kunlun Jing hurriedly said.

At this stage, it is absolutely impossible for Luo Yan to defeat a fairy-level person, even if he is in the Mirror Flower and Water Moon level.

The only possibility is to burn the true essence and pull out the Taiyin Sword Master again.

But let’s not talk about the issue of whether Shi Liuli would be exposed with him being beside him. The key point is that burning the essence consumes too much energy, which is enough for the Kunlun Mirror to save and load tens of thousands of times.

I don’t have that much spiritual energy to give you power!

"Hmph, useless mirror." Luo Yan said with disdain, "Well, forget it, since we have been partners for so many years, I will do as you say and not take any risks."

Kunlun Mirror: ???

So if I hadn't asked you to do that, you would have really planned to challenge the immortal, right?

"Don't fall for his trick." Su Mingjian suddenly said to her, "He has no intention of taking the risk. Although he said that, he actually just wanted to see if there was any chance."

Kunlun Mirror was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly.

stupid.

How foolish of me to take this man's words seriously? Oh, I shouldn't have changed my mind about him...

Kunlun Mirror was examining itself here, but Shi Liuli was unaware of it.

Her calculations were certainly not as good as the Kunlun Mirror's scanning, so she could only roughly calculate that the other party had stopped, but she didn't know the specific reason why he stopped.

Seeing Luo Yan stop, she stood obediently by his side without saying a word.

Only after the three dragons left the hall did Luo Yan sigh and continue forward with Shi Liuli.

Following the corridor, they came to the hall where the other party was, and they were finally stunned.

Although he had seen it once in the scan, it was only when he was actually in the hall that Luo Yan realized how shameless the other party was.

Clean as a whim!

The entire hall was swept clean. Not to mention the boxes containing the treasures, even the nails for hanging the scrolls were pulled out and taken away. So when the two looked around, they saw that the hall was empty, as if there was nothing there in the first place.

Shi Liuli also fell silent, thinking that if we continue at this pace, even if we can follow the other party safely throughout the whole process and remain undetected, what is the point?

There is no gain, just simply exercising courage?

Luo Yan was not giving up yet, and turned the scan to the maximum, scanning every brick joint and every floor joint in the hall.

Assholes, you really didn’t plan to leave anything behind...Huh?

There was indeed nothing left, and it was impossible for the old dragon ancestor to miss anything with his spiritual sense.

However, on a certain wall, there was a slight spatial fluctuation.

Normally, space is stable and continuous, and there shouldn't be any fluctuations. If it does, it means there must be some traces left behind by some kind of manipulation of space.

It could be a spell, a magic weapon, or...

"Formation." Luo Yan suddenly said, "There are traces of formation left here."

"Was it arranged by those people before?" Shi Liuli asked.

"No." Luo Yan had seen clearly from the previous scan that the other party had not arranged anything in this hall.

In other words, it should be a trace left from an earlier time.

"Liuli, help me calculate." Luo Yan ordered.

Shi Liuli threw a coin, told a fortune, and then fell into silence.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yan asked.

"An incomplete result." Shi Liuli answered hesitantly, "This formation was set up too long ago, and then a long, long time later, it encountered a problem again, which led to its final incomplete form."

"If not, there would be no traps left in this hall." Luo Yan nodded in agreement and said, "Wouldn't that be like inviting thieves in? There must be something wrong with the formation."

"Because it's been such a long time, I can't calculate the detailed results." Shi Liuli continued, "I only know that the problem is not from the outside, but from the inside."

"Inside?" Luo Yan began to think.

If it comes from outside, it can be understood that someone has invaded this secret realm and cracked the formation.

But inside...is there some intelligent thing in the hall that is trying to break through this formation?

Luo Yan pondered silently, his fingers following the remaining traces of the formation, drawing corresponding lines in the air.

It would take an ordinary formation master several months to restore the formation based on the incomplete map. But Luo Yan had a natural talent of understanding everything he heard, and he had also dealt with formations that were thousands of times more complicated than this one (such as the multi-dimensional compression formation in the Guixu Secret Realm in the past). So with just a few outlines, he immediately knew the formation by heart.

It was indeed broken through from the inside, but it can only be said to be a half-breakthrough.

The guy who tried to destroy the formation... is hiding in a space crack nearby, which explains why there are space fluctuations.

Luo Yan smiled slightly, then took out the Tianji Divine Shuttle and threw it towards the location of the fluctuation.

The divine shuttle passed through the ripples and disappeared, then reappeared. There was a snap sound, and something was knocked out of the void by the divine shuttle and fell to the ground.

But it is a spread-out painting.

Judging from its mounting and decoration, it is exactly the same as the "A Hundred Worlds in the Red Dust" that was taken away by Lao Long before, but the content of the scroll is different.

The Red Dust Map that Lao Long took away depicted an extremely crowded market with countless people running around, trading, and hawking their wares, making the city look prosperous and lively.

But in the painting on the ground, the market is still the same market, but there are no living people anymore, and instead, the streets are full of corpses.

The surrounding buildings were either in ruins or burning, as if they had suffered a serious war disaster.

Luo Yan was just about to go over and pick it up when he suddenly heard Shi Liuli shout "Be careful", and the scroll bounced up from the ground and flew over Luo Yan and Shi Liuli.

Before they knew it, they were already in the center of the market.

This was a brick road paved with bluestone, which was now covered in blood. The buildings on both sides were either closed or had their doors broken into by force from outside, looted and set on fire, catching fire in the blazing fire.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, sweeping across the corpses lying all over the place. A large number of ghost soldiers emerged from the cold wind, holding weapons and rushing towards the two men viciously.

Before Luo Yan could make a move, Shi Liuli had already made up his mind and activated the secret technique of the Southern Dipper Galaxy.

The surging river water rushed out from the void, instantly flooding the entire street.

The ghost soldiers were washed away, the corpses were swept away, and the burning buildings fell to the bottom of the river, turning into desolate ruins.

Suddenly, a huge cold dragon rushed out of the river, raised its upper body straight, and stared at Luo Yan and Shi Liuli with its ferocious eyes. It opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of white gas, turning everything into ice wherever it passed, just like a cold hell!
