The place where they were standing was the scorpion's tail, and the houses scattered around it were like the scorpion's feet.
"Oh my God, it really is a scorpion. What is going on?" Tong Wu was surprised and immediately looked up at Zhang Meng and asked.
After helping Zhang Meng down from the hill, Gu Mingtai slowly explained, "I once saw a formation in one of my master's books. One of them is called the Scorpio Soul Gathering Formation. This formation is sinister and vicious, and few people can create it. I didn't expect to see it in this village."
Feng San immediately looked at Gu Mingtai and asked, "Captain Gu, according to you, Xi and the others' deaths are all related to this Scorpio Soul Gathering Formation, right?"
Gu Mingtai nodded. "This spirit-collecting formation, to put it nicely, is collecting spirits, to put it bluntly, it's stealing spiritual energy. You've all been practicing for a long time, so you must have spiritual energy. Ordinary people will be fine if they enter this formation, but if cultivators like us enter, the spiritual energy on our bodies will definitely be absorbed by the person who set up this formation."
After hearing what Gu Mingtai said, Tong Wu and Feng San's faces turned ugly.
"No wonder, after we've lived here, so many changes have occurred in our bodies. Especially after we came back injured this time, our abilities have become weaker and weaker. At first, I thought it was because of my weakness, but now I know that I was harmed by this Scorpio Spirit Gathering Formation."
"What should we do now? We can't force our way into this place!" Feng Sanyi stared at Gu Mingtai and asked.
Gu Mingtai was silent for a moment, then suddenly took Zhang Meng's hand and said, "Let's leave here first. Let's go see Director Liu. Maybe we can learn something from him."
Tong Wu and Feng San's eyes flashed with resentment, but after seeing the Scorpio Spirit Gathering Formation, they gritted their teeth and suppressed their resentment in their hearts. They nodded to Gu Mingtai. The four of them quickly left Shangyang Village in a military vehicle.
By the time the four of them got on the military vehicle and returned to the city, it was already dark.
The four did not go directly to Team X this time.
According to Tong Wu's description, the four people arrived at the door of Director Liu's home.
Director Liu lives on the fourth floor of a residential complex. It is said that Director Liu is still single.
The four of them went up to the fourth floor and stood at the door of someone's house. Just as they were about to knock, they heard Director Liu's voice inviting them in. "No need to knock, gentlemen. The door is not closed. Please come in."
When the four heard the sound inside, they looked at each other. Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai walked in first, holding hands, followed by Tong Wu and Feng San.
Inside, Director Liu sipped tea and smiled at the four of them who had come in. "I knew you four would come here. Sit down. If you have any questions, sit down first. We can chat while we drink tea. This is more interesting."
Director Liu poured a cup of tea for each of the four of them. "Drink it! This tea has spiritual energy. It's hard to find it anywhere else."
After Director Liu finished speaking with a smile, he immediately took another sip of the cup of tea in his hand.
When the four heard his words, they immediately picked up the cup of tea in their hands and smelled it.
"You actually use spiritual energy to make tea. Where does this spiritual energy come from?" Zhang Meng asked him angrily while staring at him.
After Director Liu finished drinking, he showed an expression of enjoyment on his face. "Do you still need to ask this? Haven't you already been to that place? There's no need for me to say anything more."
When Tong Wu heard this, he thought that the spiritual energy in the tea might have been refined from his three dead friends. His eyes reddened and he angrily threw the cup of tea to the ground and immediately rushed forward to hit Director Liu.
As he approached, Director Liu floated up and easily avoided Tong Wu's attack.
Seeing his action, Gu Mingtai and Zhang Meng narrowed their eyes at the same time.
"Your cultivation has actually broken through to the sixth level."
Gu Mingtai narrowed his eyes and said, "Sixth level." When Tong Wu and Feng San heard his words, they immediately looked towards Director Liu in surprise.
Tong Wu shook his head vigorously, looking at Gu Mingtai and Zhang Meng in disbelief, asking for confirmation, "Didn't they say that no one in our mortal world can break through the sixth level?"
Before Gu Mingtai could answer this question, Director Liu laughed triumphantly and slowly said, "Indeed, in the mortal world, no one would be able to break through this level without any help. But today is different. I have the help of Hell and can harvest countless celestial treasures. Now, let alone the sixth level, as long as I practice hard, I can break through to the seventh and eighth levels."
After hearing what he said, Zhang Meng angrily yelled at him, "You're crazy. You actually made a deal with Hell. You'll regret it."
Director Liu laughed. "No, I will never regret it. I would only regret it if I didn't cooperate with them and didn't break through my level. So, you want to kill me? But it's a pity that even with the combined strength of the four of you, you can't defeat me."
"Really? It doesn't matter if I can't defeat you, but since you like that damn place, hell, so much, then I'll be a good person to the end. I'll send you there and you'll stay there forever." After saying this, Zhang Meng slowly took out a hairpin from her head.
This pipa hairpin was exactly what she found in the Galan Cave when they went to the underworld.
"What do you mean?" Director Liu hadn't figured it out yet when he saw Zhang Meng standing in front of him with a slight smile on her lips. She held a glowing hairpin in her hand and waved it in the air. Then a strong wind blew around the room, and an endless dark crack appeared in front of him.
