Chapter 468 Who is the wicked one?
The Hengyang Patriarch stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance of the secret realm, with the dark purple beast soul flag swirling with black mist behind him.
When everyone from the Danzhen Hall came into view.
He quickly put on a false smile and stepped forward to greet them: "Fellow Daoist Xuanjizi, I've finally got you here!"
Xuanjizi, the leader of the Danzhen Hall, stroked his long, snow-white beard. The bronze compass in his hand glowed with a faint green light, but his tone was somewhat distant: "Grandmaster Hengyang, you are too polite. This matter is of great importance. I hope your sect will not cause unnecessary trouble."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the beast soul flags on the waists of the people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and a trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed in his eyes.
He looked down on the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's use of souls to nourish the banner.
The Hengyang Patriarch looked down upon the hypocrisy of the Danzhen Palace.
Both sides look down on each other.
The main point is that you look down on me and I look down on you, but for the sake of cooperation, we still have to do enough work to save face.
"No way!"
The Hengyang Patriarch laughed heartily and patted Xuanjizi on the shoulder. "If it weren't for the fellow Daoists in the Danzhen Palace who painstakingly studied the Ten Absolute Formations, how could we have the confidence to compete with Lu Yao?"
The two looked at each other and laughed meaningfully at the same time.
After the greetings.
The Hengyang Patriarch's expression grew solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjizi, although we have laid a net of heaven and earth, Lu Yao's strength is unpredictable. Can these ten ultimate formations... really be foolproof?"
The disciples of the Wanshou Sect behind him also held their breath and stared at Xuanjizi.
"Old Ancestor, don't worry!"
Xuanjizi raised his chin confidently and lightly traced the compass with his fingertips. Suddenly, array patterns flashed in the air. "This Ten Absolute Array is the result of the life's work of the three great elders of the Danzhen Hall. It uses the soul as a guide and the laws of space as a bind. Not to mention Lu Yao, even a Mahayana cultivator who stepped into it would be unable to escape!"
A crazy light flashed in his eyes, "What's more, we are prepared..."
The words were not finished.
But he suddenly stopped talking and just smiled meaningfully.
"good!"
The Hengyang Patriarch understood, his eyes brimming with murderous intent. "This way, everyone on Jinting Mountain will be ours! After we defeat Lu Yao, the Life-Severing Sword will belong to your sect, and the heavenly techniques and treasures of Jinting Mountain will belong to my Myriad Beast Sect!"
The two men high-fived each other to form an alliance.
The disciples around also burst into laughter.
…
When Su Qian stepped into the secret realm, she felt dizzy.
When I opened my eyes again, the noisy crowd had disappeared.
What comes into view is a quiet valley.
The stream flows gently, and on the bank grow half-human-high red jade fungi and various precious spiritual plants.
"Where are the others?"
Xiaoliu looked around and said, "Just now the entrance was as crowded as an ant nest!"
"The entrance to the secret realm is like a large teleportation array. Everyone who enters will be randomly teleported to a different area."
Lu Yao looked at the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance. "Some people will be teleported to dangerous places, while others, like us, will accidentally stumble into a 'blessed land' rich in spiritual plants."
"Thinking about it this way, we are quite lucky?" Su Qian's eyes lit up slightly.
Lu Yao chuckled, "Don't worry even if you are teleported to a dangerous place. I'm here and nothing will happen to you."
Su Qian thought about it and agreed.
Although she didn't know Lu Yao's specific level of cultivation, he had no problem walking sideways in this secret realm.
"Come on, I'll take you to the Sword Tomb!"
Lu Yao put his arm around Su Qian's waist, and the spiritual power in his body condensed into a flowing light shield.
Su Qian's cheeks flushed slightly, and she reached out to push his arm: "I can just sit on Bai Ze's back. It's too much of a drain on your cultivation to keep using your spiritual power to fly."
She turned her head to look at Bai Ze Xiaoliu who was riding not far away. Bai Ze was shaking his head leisurely and snorting from time to time.
Lu Yao looked down at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone was undeniably gentle: "The secret realm is full of unknown dangers. I can only feel at ease when you are by my side."
"What's the danger in this?"
Su Qian curled her lips.
Danger?
She looked around. There were spiritual fruits everywhere and the place was full of spiritual energy. It looked peaceful and quiet. How could there be any danger?
As soon as the words fell.
The space beneath his feet suddenly shook violently, and a bottomless crack appeared in the ground.
"hiss--"
Accompanied by a deafening roar.
A giant python covered with blue-black scales broke out of the ground, and its tongue spewed out corrosive poisonous mist.
Above its head, a "Red Sun Fruit" with a glowing glow all over its body was emitting alluring spiritual fluctuations.
"What a huge python!"
Xiaoliu's pale blue eyes sparkled with excitement, "Is this a spirit?"
“Oh my god!!!”
Su Qian's pupils suddenly shrank.
Before she could react, Lu Yao had already embraced her and quickly retreated.
He just turned his wrist lightly, and a sharp energy burst out from the air.
The giant python didn't even have time to struggle.
The huge body was cut in half, and fell heavily to the ground in two pieces, splashing a lot of mud.
This process takes no more than three seconds.
Su Qian looked at Lu Yao who resolved the battle in an instant, her throat tightened and she swallowed subconsciously.
She looked up and met Lu Yao's half-smile, her ears burning: "Then... then I'll follow you."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to hug Lu Yao's waist, gently resting her head on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat through the fabric of his clothes.
"Hold tight."
Lu Yao raised the corner of his lips in a doting arc, raised his hand and gently patted her back.
The words fell.
The two of them turned into streams of light and flew towards the sword tomb.
Only the stunned Xiao Liu was left riding Bai Ze to chase after him: "Brother Lu Yao! Wait for us! This is too much of a bully!"
The secret realm is so huge that it is not measured by distance, but by the spatial laws that create a world of its own.
The location of entry is different each time.
A thousand years have passed since the last time I went to the Sword Tomb.
Lu Yao almost forgot where the sword tomb was.
"strangeness."
Lu Yao slowed down his flight speed. "Back then, where the sword tomb was, there should have been a Black Ice Peak covered in snow all year round, but now..."
The surrounding area is covered with dense forests, and the ancient trees block out the sun.
Su Qian looked up at the intertwined treetops below, a smile on her lips: "You haven't been here for so long that you can't even remember the way?"
Her tone was light and teasing, but her eyes were full of mischievous smiles.
Lu Yao looked sideways at her and shook his head helplessly, but tenderness could not be hidden in his eyes: "Over the past thousand years, the topography of the secret realm has changed several times..."
He glanced around and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Someone used forbidden techniques to alter the landscape. They sealed the Xuanbing Peak's spiritual vein underground, then covered it with dead wood and rotten soil..."
When the few of them landed, they found that many practitioners had already gathered in the forest.
"I don't know which wicked idiot actually used forbidden techniques to hide Xuanbing Peak!"
A bearded monk fiercely kicked the dead tree beside him, causing the leaves on the treetop to fall down. "I've been wandering around here for most of the day, and I haven't seen even a piece of ice!
"Who says it's not? The last time the secret realm was opened, I found an earth-level magic weapon in the sword tomb."
An old man in a gray robe twirled his beard, his tone filled with excitement, "Who would have thought that this time we wouldn't even be able to find the entrance."
