Chapter 54: The Dangerous Sword Formation
"You probably know something, don't you?" Master Fuyin sat cross-legged. Seeing Lingxiang undo the talisman, he said, "Just now I was just anxious to save people, but now that I think about it, it seems as if everything is under your control."
"Hahaha... Senior Brother, you're such a jokester! How could I know all this? It's just a coincidence..."
Lingxiang wanted to get away with it by making jokes, but Master Fuyin seemed to see through everything and stared at her motionlessly.
"Brother, do you still remember the three Long, Lu and Qiao families back then?" Lingxiang was at a loss what to do and lowered her head and said in a deep voice.
"You mean!?" Master Fuyin widened his eyes in surprise. "Didn't those three families get wiped out?"
"Although that's the rumor, it seems someone may have avoided the disaster."
"You mean... Long Qi!?"
Lingxiang turned to look at Master Fuyin and pleaded, "Sixth Senior Brother, I'm telling you this, and I hope you can keep it a secret for me. Some karma must eventually be resolved."
After hearing this, Master Fuyin remained silent for a long time.
"Those things are not your fault, why do you have to..."
"After all, it all started with my mother, so it's only fitting that I end it."
…
The chirping of birds outside the window disturbed Long Qi to the point of being extremely annoyed. He just felt weak all over and wanted to have a good sleep, but why was it so noisy outside? There was even the sound of "ding-ling-ping-pong", which really annoyed him.
But just as he was thinking about how to ignore the noisy sound, he suddenly remembered the scene where Lingxiang disappeared.
Lingxiang is dead!
This thought kept turning over and over in his mind. He tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't do it no matter what.
"Spiritual incense! Spiritual incense!"
He muttered, the image of the spiritual fragrance dissipating lingering in his mind.
At this moment, a hand touched his forehead, and a cool feeling made him calm down instantly.
"She's fine, sleep peacefully."
…
Although everyone is currently protected by a talisman formation, they are still being attacked by numerous monsters outside, and they may not be able to hold out for long.
In addition, Long Qi vomited blood for some reason, and everyone was extremely anxious.
Banxia, for some reason, remained unusually calm, sitting quietly, pondering: "Rumor has it that the Qingwei Peak Master is well-versed in pharmacology, and this martial arts performance involves picking Jade Spirit Fruit. Could it be that she came up with the challenge?" Furthermore, she had foreseen the situation so well, preparing the talismans for Liu Xia and the others. Such foresight was truly unbelievable.
"Are you very familiar with the master of Qingwei Peak?" She suddenly spoke, which scared Liu Xia.
It's already this late, and she's still thinking about these things...
"We're friends, then..." Xinyi said with some effort, "Why? What's wrong?"
"Hmm... this is very inappropriate..." Banxia pinched her chin as she analyzed, "In my opinion, even that old immortal who's so skilled in divination couldn't predict things so accurately. You said she gave the talisman, so how could she know something like this would happen?"
Banxia stood up and walked to the edge of the formation.
"Could she have predicted that we'd encounter this kind of monster at this martial arts competition? As far as I know, aside from the long-lost Sixty-Four Gold Hexagrams, the only other divination techniques available are those that have reached the Golden Core stage. And I heard that even though she's been in the Foundation Establishment stage since she was young, she still hasn't broken through, has she? How could she have predicted this and given you talismans in advance to avert disaster?"
Although Liu Xia felt that Banxia was not a reliable person, his remarks were not without reason.
"Unless..." Banxia stretched out her tone as she looked at the roaring monster outside the formation.
"Unless what?" Cheng Yu said impatiently. This girl is really something. Why not just say what she wants to say directly?
"Unless she knew what was going to happen here from the beginning, that's why she prepared those talismans for you." Banxia said as she sat back down next to Zhao Wuyang, "Then the vine cage in the forest makes sense."
When everyone heard her explain her guess, they couldn't help but feel that her statement made sense, but how did Lingxiang know it?
"Miss Lingxiang always has her own arrangements for things. Although I don't know why she does so, but..." Liu Xia wanted to excuse Lingxiang, but halfway through his words, he felt that Banxia's words seemed more convincing.
At this moment, some people panicked: Could it be that the young peak master knew? But how did he know?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Banxia spoke again:
"Actually, these are nothing. People in the Xuanmen sect all have some special methods. In comparison, I am more concerned about the rattan cage I saw on the way here just now."
"What's wrong?" Liu Xia was very confused. They had just passed by that place together. If it was according to their previous guess, there was nothing wrong with it.
Banxia rolled her eyes at Liu Xia:
"You rushed here in such a hurry that you naturally didn't pay attention. If my guess is correct, according to what you said, those spirits are naturally protecting our classmates, but..."
Banxia seemed to be deliberately keeping Chengqi in suspense, which made Chengqi feel restless and irritable.
"But what? It's already this late, so don't keep us in suspense."
"I'm not keeping you in suspense. I was just worried that I might have been too impatient to see clearly. There are fifty-seven vine cages hanging from those ancient trees, and there are fifty-eight outer disciples, excluding us..."
Hearing what she said, Liu Xia almost dropped his jaw in shock.
"At that time... the situation was urgent... you... you were able to see so carefully?"
"Oh, so I can't be sure..."
But when Cheng Qi heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.
"This young lady must have seen it right... Before Long Qi and I came chasing the talisman paper, there was indeed another person... That person... was Hui Wu..."
"What?" Liu Xia was shocked when he heard that. He remembered Hui Wu. They had only survived thanks to Miss Lingxiang and Master Fuyin. But for a small man like that to be alone in this mountain full of monsters, he was afraid...
Just when they were worried about Hui Wu, Zhao Wuyang vaguely heard a sound like porcelain breaking, but the roars of the monsters around were too loud and he couldn't hear it clearly.
But as the monsters continued to collide, the sound became louder and louder. Banxia turned around and saw a crack appearing out of thin air behind her, as if a broken mirror was dislocated.
And this crack, caused by the monster's impact, was like a mark on thin ice, constantly extending and spreading.
The talisman formation is about to be broken!
Liu Xiacheng hurriedly became extremely alert - right now, they were the only two people who could protect everyone!
Banxia, however, held the yellow talisman in her hand in a panic - the young peak master had indeed taught her the mantra of summoning the talisman, but when she saw this scene, she was so nervous that she forgot everything!
The cracks continued to extend and crisscross, and from time to time, something like glass would fall, but it would dissipate like ice flowers when it fell!
The shield formed by the talisman array was finally broken into pieces. With the violent impact of a monster, there was a loud "bang" and it shattered into pieces!
At this time, a group of monsters rose up and rushed towards the people in the formation with roars.
At the critical moment, a burst of incantations resounded through the sky:
"Heaven and earth coexist, sweeping away filth and removing sins, practicing the nine paths, exorcising evil and binding demons!"
Everyone looked up and saw a golden magic circle suddenly open above their heads, and then hundreds of lightsabers flew out and swept towards the monsters, eliminating all the monsters in an instant!
