Chapter 79 Pushing Her Down
The disciple who had a good relationship with those people said indignantly: "What about those people in the village? Are we just going to let them go? I don't believe that she can kill several of my fellow disciples by herself."
Elder Lu said impatiently, "Donghui has already checked. The people in that mountain village are all ordinary people with no cultivation. If other sects knew that our Yuanshan Sect made things difficult for ordinary people, wouldn't they laugh at us? We won't be able to survive in the cultivation world in the future. Besides, that woman can control the Eight-tailed Luwu. Isn't it easy to kill a few of our disciples?"
The man opened his mouth and felt that what the elder said made sense, but he was unwilling to let go of that primitive and backward mountain village easily.

Fu Ning took out a fire starter from his arms, blew it up, and walked deeper into the cave.
The system asked: "Boss, where is this?"
"One of the entrances to my secret realm."
The system became worried. "Didn't you say that there was only one safe entrance? This isn't where we entered last time."
Fu Ning took out a pill and put it in his mouth, "That's for others. For me, all entrances are safe."
"So you lured them in on purpose?"
"Yes, there is a maze here, and there is also a sea of bewitching grass flowers, which should be able to entangle and kill them. I just don't know if the bewitching grass is still alive after so many years."
Fu Ning sniffed and smelled a faint floral scent. She turned a corner and saw natural light shining into the cave. Directly below the light, there were a dozen small blue flowers in full bloom.
She moved closer, and the closer she got, the stronger the fragrance of the flower became. Fu Ning touched the small flower and said happily, "It's still alive, and it's blooming beautifully."
The system silently recorded the shape of the small flower and compared it with the information in its own database. It discovered that the fragrance of this small blue flower would produce a hallucinogenic effect, causing those who inhaled it to be unable to distinguish between friend and foe and to attack indiscriminately.
It asked, "Eh? Boss, why are you okay?"
Fu Ning: "Didn't I just take a detoxification pill? Didn't you see it?"
System: "I saw it. I thought you were eating the Soul Gathering Pill because you were hungry."
Fu Ning: "...Do I look like a glutton?"
The system hummed in its heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
The sound of swords colliding and rubbing could be heard from behind. Fu Ning extinguished the fire starter and hid behind a rock in the dark. He saw four or five people wearing the same blue and white clothes fighting desperately. He said to the system, "The people from Yuanshan Sect are here so soon."
Two people started fighting in front of Fu Ning, and three others walked deeper into the cave while fighting.
The system looked at the backs of these people and asked, "Boss, what's going on with your maze? Can we get through it?"
"How can I not get out of my own formation?" Fu Ning wanted to knock on its little head. "It's actually a more complicated maze. There is only one passage that can lead to the small building inside the secret realm."
The system asked, "What if I take the wrong path? Will I be trapped to death in the maze?"
Fu Ning shook his head. "It's not as simple as being trapped to death. The wrong route also has an exit, but it's connected to the cliff on the top of the mountain. If you step into it, you will be crushed to pieces."
The system looked at those people who rushed into the maze in a state of confusion, and mourned for them in its heart.
Fu Ning waited until the two men in front of him were both injured and lying on the ground, then he came out from behind the rock, rummaged through their bags, took out dry food, water, wound medicine, and some talisman paper, put them together and put them on his back, and said to the system: "Okay, now everything is complete, let's go."
System: No wonder its host came in without taking anything. It turns out he is planning to steal other people’s belongings.
Fu Ning asked: "Can you help me locate Wang Minglu and Shen Qingning?"
The system detected it and said in surprise, "Boss, I don't know if it's a problem with the magnetic field in your secret realm or what, my signal is intermittent. They should have arrived in the building. Wang Minglu is on the third floor, and Shen Qingning is still on the first floor."
Fu Ning was surprised and asked, "So there are times when your little system doesn't work?"
The system was panicking; it had never had this problem before.
——
It took Shen Qingning, Yan Qu and his group a whole day to reach the core building of the secret realm. The entrance that Master Minglu pointed out to them was particularly long, and Su Zimei kept saying she was tired and wanted to rest.
But when they saw the building in front of them, they were instantly shocked. A nine-story building was embedded in the mountain. The towering building made it almost impossible to see the top floor. The eaves were upturned, and golden bells were hung on them, but because there was no wind inside, these bells seemed to have never rung.
Yan Qu exclaimed: "This building is so beautiful."
Even people like Chen Qingning, Su Zimei and Song Zhizhi, who grew up in the Twelve Immortal Mountains and had seen a lot of the world, were shocked.
Yan Qu tried to push open the door of the ninth floor, but found that he couldn't push it open. Shen Qingning, Song Zhizhi and Yin Huayue all came to help, and the door was finally pushed open.
The four tried several times but were still just barely able to accommodate one person.
Everyone looked at Su Zimei.
Su Zimei said innocently: "Why are you looking at me? Besides, I can't push it away. I don't have the strength."
Shen Qingning had disliked her for a long time. If she hadn't been shamelessly clinging to Yan Qu, she would not have teamed up with her.
She said angrily, "Then let's wait outside and see when someone else comes in and push the door."
Yan Qu said in a gentle tone: "Miss Su, please help us."
Su Zimei had a smug look on her face and walked to the stone gate. "Since Brother Qu said so, I will help you."
Song Zhizhi immediately shook off the goose bumps on her body. The word "Brother Qu" made her so sick that she almost vomited the food she had eaten the night before.
Yin Huayue also frowned, looking disgusted.
Shen Qingning glanced at Yan Qu even more unhappily.
With Su Zimei's help, the five people finally pushed the door of the ninth floor open enough for one person to pass through.
Yan Qu walked in first, and after confirming that there was no danger and no one was found, he waved to Shen Qingning and motioned them to come in.
After everyone entered, the stone door slammed shut behind them.
The candles inside have been lit, and the scene in the building is even more breathtaking. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge screen with a picture of a nine-tailed Luwu on it.
Shen Qingning took a look and said, “It is somewhat similar to Weifeng.”
Su Zimei covered her neck in fear, not wanting to recall the scene of being pinned to the ground by Wei Feng.
The first floor of this tall building is very spacious. Eight large carved pillars support the building. Looking up, you can see exquisite and intricate patterns, and you can vaguely see the golden outline in the candlelight.
The five people walked around the first floor separately, but didn't find any valuable treasures, so they thought they had to continue going up.
They walked up the only staircase and everything seemed normal at first, but after turning a corner they saw the huge screen again.
At first they thought the layout of the second floor was the same as the first floor, but then they felt something was wrong. After walking back and forth several times, they realized that they were still on the first floor.
Shen Qingning didn't believe it, so she walked back and forth several times. Every time she turned a corner, she didn't know what happened and returned to the first floor. She was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Yin Huayue watched her go in circles on the stairs and said calmly, "Maybe there is some kind of formation on the stairs that causes us to keep going back and forth in the same place."
At this time, the four people looked at Su Zimei again. She was the only cultivator from the Array Technique Peak.
Su Zimei blinked her eyes. She was just messing around in class and never studied hard. She didn't remember any of the basic formations that the teacher asked her to memorize. But she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Yan Qu, so she said, "Ah, I've seen similar formations in books. As long as we break the center of the formation, we can go upstairs."
The others looked at her, "Where is the center of the formation?"
Su Zimei turned away her eyes guiltily, "I need some time."
Song Zhizhi crossed her arms and said, "Okay, then you look for it carefully."
Shen Qingning had some friendship with Su Zimei, and knowing that she was unreliable, she also looked around.
In fact, she had been very interested in the art of formations when she was a child, but later she was discovered by her parents and was severely scolded, and she threw away those books on the art of formations.
She tried hard to recall the complete explanation of formations she had read when she was about ten years old. It seemed that it mentioned that this kind of formation that repeatedly stuck in the same place and could not get out was called a circular formation. To break this formation, one needs to...
“Ah!” Su Zimei yelled, interrupting Shen Qingning’s thoughts, “I know, the center of the formation must be the bronze dog on the platform.”
Shen Qingning frowned and said, "How can it be so obvious? Besides, I remember that this formation does not need to destroy the center of the formation..."
Su Zimei was refuted by her, and couldn't save face, so she said unruly: "I am a formation master, what formation do you, an alchemist, know?"
Yan Qu pulled Shen Qingning and said to Su Zimei, “Why don’t we observe it again.”
Su Zimei was not sure at first, but Yan Qu's words to Shen Qingning stimulated her all of a sudden, and she hurriedly explained: "Statues in general buildings appear in pairs, and this bronze statue is only on one side of the stairs, which means it must have a function!"
Song Zhizhi was also a little skeptical and said, "Even if it was placed there for a special purpose, it doesn't necessarily have to be the center of the formation on the stairs."
Su Zimei was questioned by them one by one, and her chest heaved with anger. She walked to the front of the bronze dog and kicked it hard to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Everyone was startled by the sound and looked around vigilantly, but the surroundings were extremely quiet and nothing happened. Song Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Zimei felt that she might have guessed correctly, and said with some pride: "Let's go up the stairs again this time."
Yin Huayue stepped onto the stairs first, followed by Song Zhizhi, followed by Shen Qingning and Su Zimei, with Yan Qu at the rear.
When she was halfway there, Yin Huayue heard the sound of stones breaking coming from under her feet.
She looked down and saw that there were cracks on the steps they were standing on!
The stone railing next to it was the first to break into pieces and fall to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.
Yan Qu yelled, "Run!"
Everyone ran quickly to the second floor. Su Zimei accidentally tripped over a falling rock and stumbled. Shen Qingning behind her quickly helped her up and said to her, "Run! Don't stop!"
Su Zimei looked at Shen Qingning's pure and beautiful face with hatred. This woman used this face to bewitch Yan Qu.
She thought viciously that if she died, Yan Qu would be hers.
Shen Qingning pulled her right arm, and Su Zimei suddenly swung her arm back, causing the unsuspecting Shen Qingning to stagger.
Su Zimei's mouth curled up maliciously, and while Shen Qingning was not standing firmly, she suddenly pushed her down the stairs.
——
Fu Ning walked to the front door of her small building and pressed a few times on a small movable stone slab beside the door. The door slowly opened in front of her.
What greeted Fu Ning was dust blowing in her face. She covered her nose and waved away the dust as she walked in. When the dust settled, she found that the entire floor of the stairs had collapsed.
System: "Boss, what should we do?"
Fu Ning stood at the second floor stairs and looked around, feeling somewhat embarrassed. How could Yan Qu's gang be so destructive? "How about we fly up?"
System: "Aircraft, 10,000 points."
Fu Ning: “…No money.”
Suddenly she felt something on her foot, and when she looked down, she saw a hand grabbing her ankle.
