Chapter 270
Everyone followed his advice. Gu Shihan used his mind to check the space in the jade block. The originally distinct black and white areas were now perfectly integrated. The demonic energy that once permeated the space also dissipated completely, and was replaced by waves of soft and peaceful fairy power fluctuations, which made people feel relaxed and refreshed.
Gu Shihan calmed down and concentrated her mind to carefully sense everything in the tower. Soon, she realized that there was an extremely critical core hub deep inside the tower. This hub seemed to be the control center of the entire tower, which could control the various defense mechanisms of the tower.
Without hesitation, she drove her spiritual consciousness towards the core hub.
When his spiritual consciousness finally reached the location of the hub, Gu Shihan once again gathered all the soul power in his body and injected this powerful force into it without hesitation.
With a slight "hum" sound, an extremely solid transparent shield instantly rose up on the surface of the small tower, like an indestructible wall, completely isolating the outside world a thousand meters away from the tower. Even the spies of the demon clan could no longer detect any movement around the small tower.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shihan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could completely relax, suddenly, without any warning, strange lights lit up in the entire tower. These lights were colorful and dazzling, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, dazzling and dazzling.
Some ancient runes appeared faintly in the light, and these runes began to revolve around Gu Shihan.
Gu Shihan quickly wrote down the rune, took out the jade slip and copied it, so that he could try to decipher the meaning of the rune later.
The runes continued to change until they stopped rotating, and then combined into a map in the air, pointing to an unfamiliar place.
After Gu Shihan completed copying the map, Xingbai in the space finally appeared.
He walked quickly to Gu Shihan, handed her an exquisite storage ring, and said solemnly: "Hanhan, I will start the fusion next!"
Gu Shihan nodded gently and responded softly: "Well, go ahead and don't worry!"
Xing Bai picked up the jade piece and shook his body, instantly turning into a dazzling stream of light and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Wen Xin, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shi Han, Xing Bai left in such a hurry, did he go to refine the jade?"
Gu Shihan turned to look at Wen Xin and replied with a smile, "Yes, Wen Xin. I'm afraid he can't help us like before during this period of time."
Situ Tinglang, who was standing nearby, laughed heartily upon hearing this and comforted everyone, "Haha, it's okay! We are grateful for Xing Bai's help along the way, but even without him, as long as we act cautiously, there shouldn't be too many problems. And, I sincerely hope that he can successfully merge this time and reach a higher level of strength!"
At this time, Shi Qinghan, who had been observing the surroundings, suddenly shouted solemnly, "Not good! The isolation effect of the jade block will soon fail. Look, there are more and more demon soldiers around. With our current strength, we must not confront them head-on. After all, our mission this time is not to kill these demon soldiers."
Shi Qinghan pointed at the black figures that were surging like a tide not far away.
Hearing Shi Qinghan's warning, everyone's heart tightened. Gu Shihan quickly took out the jade slip he had just copied, showed it to everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic! Come and take a look at this, I think this is very likely a very important map! Maybe it will guide us to find a way out of the predicament."
Everyone checked quickly, and Shi Qinghan frowned and said, "Could this be guiding us to another place?"
Gu Shihan pondered for a moment, "Perhaps this is related to the situation between immortals and demons. We might as well go and have a look according to the instructions. This point should be where we are. It is most appropriate to retreat from here."
"That's right! Let's retreat from here!" Mo Yu waved his hand and took the lead to move towards a small path, following the route on the map.
They encountered many obstacles along the way, but they were resolved one by one with the help of everyone's abilities. One day they arrived at a mountain called Xizi Pass and decided to find a place to rest.
As they walked, a magnificent palace suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The palace gate was closed tightly, and it was engraved with complicated fairy and demonic runes, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
Gu Shihan walked forward and tried to touch the door with his spiritual power, and a powerful recoil force came from the door.
After discussion, everyone decided to work together, gathering their spiritual power and pushing it towards the door. As the light flickered, the door slowly opened.
The hall was empty except for a huge crystal ball placed in the center. The crystal ball was filled with mist, which seemed to contain infinite mysteries.
Gu Shihan approached the crystal ball and just as he reached out to touch it, the scene inside the ball suddenly changed, showing a tragic scene of the battle between fairies and demons, and a blurry figure standing in the clouds, seemingly in control of everything.
At this moment, many phantom monsters suddenly appeared around them, and everyone was involved in a battle again. But this time everyone had more combat experience and cooperated closely with each other.
During the fierce battle, Gu Shihan discovered that attacking the crystal ball could weaken the monster's power, so everyone resisted while attacking the crystal ball.
Finally, the crystal ball shattered and the phantom monster disappeared. Gu Shihan looked at the fragments on the ground, feeling something very real yet illusory.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Gu Shihan felt that the scenery in front of him had changed, returning to the appearance he saw when he first arrived.
"What's going on? Am I back again?" Wen asked in surprise.
"No, we have never left this place. What happened just now was just an illusion. Do you think it's right?" Gu Shihan asked with a frown.
After hearing what Gu Shihan said, everyone looked solemn and fell into deep thought.
Duan Siqi frowned slightly and said softly, "If all this is just an illusion, then someone must have done it deliberately. Their purpose is either to trap us here and make it impossible for us to escape, or to mislead us onto the wrong path, or they have other intentions."
Her voice was clear and firm, causing everyone present to nod in agreement. Shi Qinghan said, "He can create such a realistic illusion and take us into it without us even realizing it. This person's strength is too terrifying. We must be careful!"
Gu Shihan also nodded and agreed with a serious expression: "Yes, in this case, we must be extra careful. It is really not advisable to stay here for too long."
As she spoke, she waved her hand to signal everyone to leave this mysterious palace quickly.
