Chapter 337 Breaking in
Seeing that she didn't know what was good for her, the Yuanying stopped trying to persuade her and said coldly, "If you die in there, don't blame us from the Minglan Sect for not trying to persuade you."
Yue Qingya said with a sullen face: "Your Young Sect Master is a Golden Core, and he can still hold on and wait for someone to rescue him, but we are not like that."
At this moment, a disciple received a message from the sect, and his face changed drastically: "Oh no! Our elder in the Out-of-Body Stage has been stopped by an alien race and won't be able to come anytime soon!"
Not long after, the disciples sent by the sect to the elders in the out-of-body stage also received similar news.
Everyone's faces turned grim. Tao Zi asked in a deep voice, "What caused the monster to self-destruct?"
The Yuanying also realized that something was wrong and answered without hesitation: "It seems to have been attacked."
The man with the broken arm immediately said, "Could it be an alien race? If it is an alien race, it is normal for the monster to self-destruct."
The other Nascent Soul who had been silent for a long time immediately signaled the disciple next to him to send a message to the sect, but there was no response for a long time.
Tao Zi sneered and said, "I advise you to send someone back. Who knows if the aliens might sneak into the Minglan Sect and intercept the news."
The Yuanying's expression changed and he scolded her a few words, but he sent people back without hesitation.
Someone from the Chengyi Sect whispered, "If that's the case, it would explain why they haven't allowed Out-of-Body cultivators to come over."
Tao Zi looked at the two Nascent Souls and said, "They must have something to gain by sending so many alien races to intercept us. At this point, whether for public or private reasons, we must have someone go into the abyss to investigate. I will go in, and you can do as you please."
Yue Qingya naturally chose to go down, and the Nascent Souls of some other sects also expressed that they would enter Cunxuyuan.
Ming Lan Zong's Nascent Soul said, "We two must stay up there to maintain the formation, lest the shield collapse and cause harm outside."
Tao Zi said coldly, "You two are the only two Yuanying left in Minglan Sect?"
This was particularly harsh, but they couldn't get angry at Tao Zi at this time, so they could only suppress their anger and replied, "There are indeed fewer Yuanying coming this time."
It is obvious that Xu Qianjia was unwilling to give up too many places in the sect, so the Nascent Souls from other peaks refused to come. A disunited sect is too prone to trouble.
The staff were assigned quickly.
Cun Xuyuan is divided into five levels. Tao Zi and Yue Qingya will enter the bottom level, and the others will stay in the corresponding levels according to their strength to avoid being wiped out.
The two Nascent Souls opened their protective shields, and the fierce spiritual energy inside rushed out, almost injuring some unprepared cultivators.
At this moment, many people no longer had any objection to the idea that Minglan Sect's Nascent Soul should stay there to maintain the formation.
Minglan Sect's Yuanying warned for the last time: "It is very dangerous for cultivators below the Out-of-Body Stage to enter. You must think carefully."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, no one backed down.
Yue Qingya used his spiritual power to protect himself and Tao Zi, and the two of them stepped in first.
In the first level, the spiritual power is like a blade, scraping over again and again, comparable to an ordinary attack from a Nascent Soul.
A first-level Nascent Soul cultivator was the first to be unable to bear it and retreated.
Yue Qingya said in a deep voice: "The Nascent Souls below the third level will stay here, and the rest of you will continue to go down."
To put it bluntly, every Nascent Soul here was defeated by him in the competition, so they had no objection to his orders.
The further down they went, the more powerful the attacks became. Tao Zi noticed something was wrong and frowned, "Apart from the spiritual energy riot, is there nothing else here?"
Yue Qingya felt a chill run down his spine. "This shouldn't be the case. Riots happen here from time to time, and there will always be monsters that adapt."
The cultivators who followed to the third floor also looked at each other in confusion. One of them hesitated and said, "According to what that Yuanying said, this place should be extremely dangerous, but apart from spiritual energy attacks, there is no other danger. Something is really wrong."
Tao Zi raised her hand, signaling the people behind her to stay where they were.
She took a step forward, squatted down and looked at the marks on the ground, then stood up and said, "Those dangers should have come from monsters, but the monsters are all dead."
Hearing this, some people's scalps tingled: "Brother Tao, what do you mean?"
"Literally." She turned and looked at them. "Please stay here, everyone. There might be cultivators who haven't made it to the third or fourth floor yet, and they still need you to search for them."
A monk asked, "What about the fourth and fifth floors?"
"Master Yue and I will go down."
The monks were still hesitant, so Tao Zi added, "We need to ensure the absolute safety of these three levels to avoid any accidents during the retreat."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately agreed and took over the task.
Yue Qingya also said gently: "I'm going to say something unpleasant. You are far inferior to me in strength. If you follow us, if something really happens, we may not be able to rescue you in time."
Now that things have come to this, no one would be so tactless as to continue.
Tao Zi took out a jade pendant, poured a little spiritual consciousness into it, and handed it to the Nascent Soul of Cheng Yimen, saying, "If I die, this jade pendant will shatter. You must immediately withdraw from here and wait for the arrival of the Out-of-Body Stage masters."
The Nascent Soul's expression became serious, and he took it with both hands.
She took Yue Qingya to the fourth floor.
When it reached the fourth level, the attack became more fierce, and the spiritual energy even condensed into mist droplets, blocking their vision.
Since there were no outsiders around, Tao Zi immediately released her spiritual sense to protect herself and Yue Qingya, and tried to spy on the surrounding situation.
Yue Qingya whispered, "The spiritual energy here is too dense. My spiritual sense and spiritual energy cannot detect far away places."
Tao Zi asked solemnly, "How far exactly?"
"Within three meters, no problem."
She said, "That's enough."
She walked in one direction, and Yue Qingya followed her without saying a word.
Suddenly, he said, "I remember you said before that there was a formation on the fourth floor of Cunxuyuan. Will walking around so carelessly like this trigger the formation?"
Tao Zi glanced around and said, "It has been touched."
Yue Qingya suddenly stopped and asked: "Why don't I feel anything?"
"The one we're standing on has been destroyed, and the other one hasn't been entered yet." She also stopped. "The moment we reach the formation point, I will remind you to follow me every step of the way. Don't make any mistakes."
"good."
A big tree appeared in Tao Zi's perception, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the fourth layer was not destroyed completely enough.
"Now that we're there, watch your step. Also, don't touch anything that comes your way. We can't afford those opportunities right now."
"I see."
Tao Zi put her hand on the big tree, and a small path appeared in front of her. Tao Zi walked along the path, stopping every three steps.
Yue Qingya followed her steps and occasionally strange halos appeared around him, but he did not touch them, nor did he even take a second look at them.
Not many people know that this ordinary tree on the fourth floor can lead directly to the fifth floor, but it requires making a choice - giving up the opportunity on the fourth floor.
