Chapter 291 Clues to the Great Array
After everyone left, they found a place with a wide view and used it as a temporary resting place.
At this moment, the people from Xuanwu Palace were also found. Upon hearing what had just happened, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, as they had originally planned to go there to search for treasure.
After Nan Muyin carefully surveyed the surroundings and confirmed that the place was safe, she had Ye Luo set up a defensive magic array, which reassured everyone.
Ji Xuan was seriously injured at this time. After applying medicine and meditating cross-legged for a long time, her complexion finally looked better. The matter of appeasing the disciples naturally fell to Qing Yu.
Feng Yue watched his busy back as he sat on the grass, tugging at the blades of grass beneath him. Ye Luo, who was lying on the soft cloud-woven cushion, floated over leisurely and teased, "Fourth Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"
"I...I didn't see anything..." Feng Yue lowered his eyes and continued to pull at the grass. Ye Luo saw that he was thin-skinned and didn't say anything, but just smiled meaningfully and lay back looking at the red clouds on the horizon.
Just then, it was almost dark, and Ye Luo's stomach rumbled, making Feng Yue next to her laugh out loud.
"Want some barbecue?" he asked.
"I want to eat it, but I'll pass on the meat of monsters."
Feng Yue took out a spiritual fruit and handed it to him, saying, "Before we set off, Master prepared a lot of food for me, as if he was afraid you wouldn't have enough to eat."
Hearing this, Ye Luo felt a surge of warmth in her heart, took the fruit, took a bite, and smiled, "Then let's grill it."
"good."
Soon the fire was lit, and everyone was drawn over by the aroma of meat. Helpless, Feng Yue could only transform into a barbecue master, distributing food to each of them to replenish their depleted spiritual energy.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Luo gathered everyone together and said indifferently, "Now that you've all eaten and drunk your fill, I'm going to tell you something disgusting."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise, and their previously relaxed nerves instantly tensed up again in fear.
Nan Muyin gently scolded, "Junior brother, don't scare people."
“Um…” Ye Luo sat cross-legged on the soft cloud woven mat and said frankly, “In short, I discovered that this place is an ancient site, and we are currently on a large formation.”
Xiao Huan swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked anxiously, "Then... is this formation... dangerous?"
Ye Luo said, "Danger definitely exists, but whether we will encounter it is hard to say."
Hearing Ye Luo's words, everyone really lost their appetite, and the roasted meat in their hands suddenly lost its appeal.
"Then let's leave quickly!"
"That's right. If that terrifying thing from before were to appear again, we wouldn't be able to defend against it at all."
“Where could you run to?” Ye Luo pointed to the stone pillars in the distance. “I’m sure you saw those stone pillars when you were searching for treasure, right? Actually, those are array stones, and you probably know where they are located.”
Xiao Huan asked in surprise, "Doesn't that mean it covers almost everything?"
"Who on earth is it, and why would they set up an array here?"
"Are you stupid? This is an ancient battlefield, so it must be inhabited by powerful array cultivators."
Qingyu said seriously, "Could it be that this magic array... is sealing something away?"
Ye Luo said, "Most likely."
Qingyu's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Could it be the same thing that attacked us just now?"
Ye Luo leaned against the soft cloud fabric, took the roasted meat that Feng Yue handed her, and said while eating, "Perhaps it is, or perhaps it isn't."
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it." Yu Xuan looked at everyone and said, "I suggest that we all act in unison for the next few days to avoid any further situations where we can't get help in time."
Nan Muyin asked, "By the way, have you seen any people from the Tianfeng Sect?"
Yu Xuan nodded and said, "We encountered her. Yang Shen even asked us about Bai Ruoqian's whereabouts and went to the western mountains."
Nan Muyin said, "If we run into them later, let them act together. After all, they are all from the Immortal Alliance. If something happens to them, it will be difficult for us to explain ourselves when we go out."
Everyone nodded in agreement. After nearly a day and a night of toil, they were all exhausted and began to sit cross-legged and close their eyes to rest.
Inside a mountain, there are winding stone steps that descend.
From time to time, the sound of dripping water could be heard. Bai Ruoqian took out the illumination stone and slowly walked down the faintly remaining steps.
"Are we there yet?" Bai Ruoqian asked breathlessly. In this pitch-black place, the further down she went, the more chilly it felt.
"It'll be soon. If I remember correctly, there should be a stone bridge down there. We can find the altar by crossing that bridge."
"good."
Sure enough, she found the place in no time. Although it was pitch black, she could still see it roughly by the light of the luminous stone.
Bai Ruoqian looked around the altar, which was just as devastated as the outside. There used to be some kind of divine beast statues on both sides, but they had been severely damaged and could no longer be seen clearly.
However, one can still see the solemnity and grandeur of this place at that time, and she can also imagine how prosperous and flourishing it must have been.
"Why is there an altar here? What kind of place is this?"
After a moment, Xinhunyin sighed softly, "This place was originally a place of sacrifice. I never imagined that after the collapse of the mountains and rivers, it would be so desolate."
"Who exactly are you?" Bai Ruoqian asked. She had asked this question before over the years, but Xin Hun Yin seemed unwilling to reveal it, so she hadn't pressed him for an answer.
"I am the Holy Maiden of the Holy Realm."
"The Holy Domain?" Bai Ruoqian thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that mysterious outer realm force?"
"Um."
Just as Bai Ruoqian was feeling surprised, a rustling sound suddenly came, followed by a squeaking noise that made her scalp tingle.
"What is that?" Bai Ruoqian was shocked. She summoned her protective magic treasure to surround herself and cautiously looked around the dark cave.
Suddenly, the scarlet lights on the cave ceiling lit up and filled the entire cavern in a flash, accompanied by a series of squeaking and creaking sounds that echoed throughout the empty cave.
"bat?!"
Bai Ruoqian looked at the swarm of bats rushing towards her, her face filled with terror.
Just as she was about to run away, the soul of the Soul Guide flew out, waved its sleeve at the bats, and uttered a few obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations, which instantly silenced them.
Bai Ruoqian's face was full of astonishment. She saw her soul summon a bat, seemingly asking it something, before it returned to her body and said, "Go down further down, and one of the White Jade Blood Nether Bats I'm looking for is suppressed down there."
What do you need it for?
"It's my mount; it will be very useful if I release it."
"Oh..." Bai Ruoqian looked at the bottomless abyss and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Helpless, she could only summon the illumination stone to continue descending.
