Chapter 173
Gu Shihan and the others waited for a while, but no one came out. They whispered, "This Ghost Beast Peak must be hiding a big secret. We must sneak in and investigate carefully."
"Junior sister, could this be the lair of the people in black robes? But then I think it's ridiculous. Could they be the natives of the secret realm?" Mo Yu frowned and whispered.
"Who knows? Just go and take a look and you'll know!!" Shi Qinghan took the lead and walked towards the vines in the distance.
They approached the vines cautiously, cast a spell to conceal their breath, and slowly entered the entrance behind the vines.
It was dark and damp inside, filled with a foul smell. Not long after walking along the narrow passage, I heard bursts of low roaring sounds.
Suddenly, a secret door appeared in front of him. Looking through the crack in the door, he saw a huge black crystal suspended in the air, with countless black air pouring out of it. It turned out that this was the source of the demonization of this place.
At this moment, the alarm sounded and the three men in black robes discovered them.
A melee broke out, with Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan standing in front, while Gu Shihan and Yu Tong tried to destroy the black crystal.
After a fierce battle, Gu Shihan tried his best to inject the red lotus fire into the black crystal. The crystal gradually cracked and finally exploded and dissipated.
As the explosion of the black crystal dissipated, the surrounding dark atmosphere quickly faded away, and the originally dark and damp passage gradually became brighter.
The leader of the black-robed men roared angrily: "You destroyed our holy objects, today is the day you die!"
Although Mo Yu and Shi Qinghan were exhausted, they still gritted their teeth and resisted the attacks of the men in black robes.
Gu Shihan and Yutong looked at each other, and in an instant, a light flashed, and the black crystal stone was wrapped in flames. Countless black mists in the flames dissipated in the flames until nothing was left.
The moment the black crystal stone was destroyed, the three men in black robes fell to the ground and turned into pieces of talisman paper that fell to the ground.
"Is this a talisman man?" Mo Yu walked forward to check it out in surprise.
"What talisman man? This is the first time I've seen this thing!" Shi Qinghan asked in confusion.
"Junior Brother Shi, the talisman is a special kind of talisman. The method of making it has been lost. Even our Wuhua Sect does not have the inheritance of making talisman. I didn't expect to see this in the Tianshui Secret Realm. This world is really difficult to be peaceful."
Gu Shihan picked up a few pieces of talisman paper and examined them carefully. She knew about this thing, but she had never successfully drawn it.
She felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, as she always felt that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this matter.
The four decided to leave the passage first. However, not long after they walked out, they found that the road they came from became blurred and a layer of light mist filled the surroundings.
"Oh no, there seems to be a maze formation set up here." Gu Shihan frowned. She tried to use her spiritual power to disperse the fog, but the fog only dispersed briefly and gathered again quickly.
Yutong suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Look there!"
When everyone looked, they saw a vague figure slowly approaching in the fog.
When I got closer, I could see that it was a white-haired old man. "You little brats, you ruined my good deeds, and you still want to leave? Dream on!" The old man said in a cold voice.
Mo Yu stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why did you place such an evil thing here?"
The old man sneered, "I am the heart of the evil god Moli Ka that was sealed here ten thousand years ago. I finally found a chance to be reborn with the help of the black crystal. Now the crystal is destroyed, and my plan to return to the arena will be postponed for another thousand years. You all deserve to die! None of you will get out alive today."
As he spoke, the old man waved his hands and black blades of light shot towards them.
Mo Yu and others could only fight hard again, but the old man was very powerful and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The old man's strength is definitely not at the Jindan stage. Just when several people were about to be unable to resist, Shi Qinghan suddenly remembered that his master had given him a life-saving jade pendant, saying that it might be useful in a life-and-death situation.
He quickly took out the jade pendant and muttered something. In an instant, a golden light shot out from the jade pendant and turned into a barrier that enveloped the four people. The old man's attack hit the barrier and was bounced off.
"Hmph, just a little trick." The old man snorted coldly, and a black magic wand appeared in his hand. He inserted the magic wand into the ground, and the dark aura around him became thicker, constantly eroding the golden barrier.
At this moment, Gu Shihan suddenly felt a familiar power fluctuation. She looked down at the storage bracelet, which contained an ancient book. She obtained this ancient book by chance, and she had never understood its meaning, but at this moment it exuded a warm feeling.
She hurriedly took out the ancient book and opened it. The book automatically turned to a page and released powerful spiritual power towards the old man.
The old man seemed to be restrained by something, roaring in pain and moving slowly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Yu used his special moves, and the other three also joined forces to attack, finally completely destroying the old man.
The fog dissipated, the road became clear again, and the ancient book turned into ashes, as if it had completed its final mission.
"Junior sister, is that a book? What kind of book is it? It's so magical!"
"I don't know either. It should be a book. I got it by chance. I never knew what it was. It looked like a book, but I couldn't open it. I didn't expect it to be able to do this. It saved our lives. It turns out that gains and losses are often destined by heaven. I got it, and today it has completed its mission. It just proves the saying "There is a will in the dark!"
Shi Qinghan and Mo Yu were both thoughtful after hearing what Gu Shihan said.
Mo Yu patted Gu Shihan on the shoulder and said seriously: "No matter what, this time it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, even if we can retreat, we will definitely have to pay a lot."
"Maybe! Let's move on, Yutong, let's destroy those things that make people feel uncomfortable just looking at them!" Gu Shihan said faintly.
"Okay, sister!" Yu Tong's Phoenix Fire quickly swept across the passage. As the Phoenix Fire swept across, some evil things in the passage were burned one after another.
The group continued to move forward, and soon they arrived in front of a huge palace. Quite a number of cultivators had gathered here, most of whom Gu Shihan did not know.
The palace exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and its gates are tightly closed.
"Hey, are you from Wuhua Sect? We were the first to discover this place." A male cultivator stretched out his hand to stop Gu Shihan and others.
Shi Qinghan smiled and asked, "Well, you found it right, can you go in?"
At this time, a white-robed male cultivator smiled and tried to smooth things over: "My fellow Taoists, I am Situ Tinglang from the Tianyi Sect. We are all here for the opportunity, and this opportunity is also predetermined. Since we are all here for the opportunity, then let's work together to open the palace gate. What kind of opportunity we can get at that time depends on our own ability. How do you think?"
"Fellow Daoist Situ, my name is Mo Yu, and this is my junior sister Gu Shihan and junior brother Shi Qinghan. Excuse me! We have no objection to what you said."
"What do you mean you have no objection? He's obviously here to grab the opportunity, but I've been waiting for three days and three nights!" someone muttered.
