Bai Xiuyuan understood the terrifying nature of this formation. The person who set it up first created a few easy doors to mislead him, making him mistakenly believe that he could get out soon.
When they were searching for the exit with high hopes, the person who set up the formation destroyed the compass.
The most painful thing is going from hope to despair, from heaven to hell.
Bai Xiuyuan was somewhat unsettled and broke out in a cold sweat. "Captain, how do we choose between the Gen and Zhen positions?"
Yun Yan looked at the two directions and said, "Bai Xiuyuan, you are a feng shui master, you choose, I will go first."
Bai Xiuyuan's voice trembled, "Captain, if we make the wrong choice, we might be in danger."
Yun Yan patted his shoulder forcefully, "Trust your intuition, you won't make the wrong choice."
"Even if we're wrong, I'm still here." His gaze was fixed intently ahead. "We'll fight our way out, even if it means killing!"
Bai Xiuyuan was stunned. The captain trusted him so much, he couldn't let him down.
The Tianxing School is a top-tier Feng Shui school today. As a successor of the Tianxing School, he is sure to be able to choose the right door.
Bai Xiuyuan slowly opened his mouth, "Gen position, let's go this way."
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Yan grabbed his hand, jumped over the swamp, and rushed directly to the northeast.
The further you go in, the more swampy areas there are; if you're not careful, you'll fall in and never be able to get out.
This time, Bai Xiuyuan made the right choice again, and the familiar white light led the two away from this awful place.
Each door is more dangerous than the last; who knows what I'll encounter next?
Rumble! Rumble!!
Yun Yan hadn't even opened his eyes when he heard the loud noise, and he instinctively swung his sword.
The sword energy shattered the oncoming boulder, kicking up a cloud of dust. Bai Xiuyuan coughed a few times, "Cough cough cough..."
He had just passed through three gates, and he had exhausted too much energy; his head was throbbing with pain.
Bai Xiuyuan lost his balance and fell to the side.
Yun Yan helped him up, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, I can still manage... cough cough cough."
Bai Xiuyuan coughed violently, "Captain, this is the fourth door."
Yun Yan nodded. "Mm."
A towering mountain stood before the two, with rocks and soil constantly falling from it.
They happened to be standing at the foot of the mountain.
Rumble—!!
Another loud bang, and the entire mountain began to collapse at a visible speed, with countless large rocks hurtling towards the two of them.
Bai Xiuyuan's eyes widened slightly. "Mudslide."
Yun Yan swung his sword, shattering the flying stones, and pulled Bai Xiuyuan to dodge.
"We hid while searching for an exit."
Bai Xiuyuan looked at the cracked compass in his hand and felt increasingly uneasy.
Will he and his captain be able to get through this time?
How do I determine my location without a compass?
If you can't even tell east from west, north from south, how can you talk about finding the way out?
The boulder was getting bigger and bigger. If the entire mountain completely collapsed, the two of them would be trapped under the boulder before they even entered the next gate.
Yun Yan kept blocking the flying stones, and he encouraged his teammate next to him, "Bai Xiuyuan, believe in yourself."
Bai Xiuyuan gripped the compass tightly. "Captain, we will definitely get out of here alive."
"Heaven has three wonders, Earth has six instruments; within a radius of one hundred paces, one can discern them by following the needle!"
After reciting the incantation, his face turned deathly pale, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
The cracks on the compass were increasing, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The broken pointer spun rapidly, then gradually slowed down.
Almost there, the hands will stop soon.
At the last moment, the compass shattered completely into pieces, the needle embedded in the ground and covered by the flowing soil.
Bai Xiuyuan took a deep breath. "Captain, the compass is broken. I haven't had time to figure out the directions yet."
Yun Yan had anticipated this situation. His hand holding the money sword trembled slightly, but his expression remained very calm.
Bai Xiuyuan was afraid, he was afraid too, but he couldn't be afraid at a time like this.
Yun Yan said, word by word, "It doesn't matter. If the person behind this wants to trap us, they will naturally try to destroy the compass."
"Don't give up until the very last moment. Even without the compass, I'll lead you out of here!"
Yun Yan held the money sword horizontally in front of him, his clear black and white eyes filled with unwavering strength.
Looking at his captain, Bai Xiuyuan was no longer afraid.
He wasn't fighting alone; there were two of them.
Even if I die in the end, the captain will be with me on my journey to the underworld...
No, they won't die. He must find the gate of life and successfully escape the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.
Bai Xiuyuan closed his eyes and sensed the surrounding atmosphere. "Captain, give me a little more time."
"Alright." Yun Yan didn't say anything more, his eyes fixed on the rolling stones flying towards the two of them, his hand never stopping swinging his sword.
He was determined to protect Bai Xiuyuan and his teammates, even unto death.
Bai Xiuyuan's head was spinning and aching, as if he were being pricked by a thousand needles.
The eight directions spun rapidly in my mind: Gen, Kan, Li, Kun, Qian, Dui, and Xun, disappearing one after another.
In the end, only one direction remained in Bai Xiuyuan's mind: the Zhen position.
He opened his eyes. "Captain, east."
Yunyan pulled him eastward, and a white light appeared right in front of them.
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Xiuyuan's eyes. "You chose the right one again this time?"
The white light sucked the two of them in, and they sensed something was wrong; it seemed they hadn't reached the fifth formation yet.
It was pitch black all around, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"Giggle..."
"Hahaha……"
The sound of ghosts wailing and howling came, and Yun Yan was very familiar with this aura—the yin energy of a vengeful ghost.
The two were surrounded by a dense swarm of vengeful ghosts, which reached out their claws and tongues.
It contains all sorts of ghosts: hanged ghosts, ghosts who jumped off buildings, ghosts who drowned, ghosts from car accidents, and so on, all of whom died in extremely gruesome ways.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and intestines were spilled all over the floor.
Bai Xiuyuan gasped for breath, "Captain, I chose the wrong one. This isn't the Gate of Life, it's the Gate of Injury."
Of the eight gates, the Rest, Life, and Open gates are auspicious, the Block and View gates are neutral, and the Shock, Injury, and Death gates are inauspicious.
The sect leader is crippled and must be injured. How can the captain fight so many fierce ghosts by himself?
Are they going to die here today?
