"What is this?" Hua Shi asked in a low voice, staring at the black pit from which constant noises were coming.
Xuan Shuzhi pulled Hua Shi to hear his voice and said in a low voice: "Like I said before, if there is any unusual movement, you should run, and run back to the sect immediately." He then thought of something and added: "I have set a spell on your Lingsha Sword. When you summon it later, it will send you back to Xuanling Pavilion."
Hua Shi didn't feel relieved when he heard this. Instead, he was slightly stunned: "Master, when did you..."
Xuan Shuzhi had already cast a spell on his Lingsha Sword before he knew it, which meant that he had realized that something was wrong a long time ago. Xuan Shuzhi rarely made mistakes in his judgments. If even he felt that the matter was so serious and had already left a way out for him in advance, it meant that the matter was so serious that it was impossible to deal with.
Hua Shi still refused to believe it. He was still practicing in the sect this morning and seemed to be normal. Why did he suddenly become like this now?
"Did the snake just now crawl out of this pit? Now that so many seniors are here, we can block it quickly, right?" Hua Shi said this, still standing behind Xuan Shuzhi without leaving, just staring at the dark deep pit.
Xuan Shuzhi sighed deeply and said nothing.
Only in his mind, Liu Qishuang whispered, "It's too late. The formation has been formed. It will take five hours to destroy it. During this time, the black snakes in the Spirit Realm have already come out. Moreover, the black snake formation has moved the entrance to the Spirit Realm of Tianqing City to here. If this formation is destroyed today, the connection between Xuanqing Continent and the Spirit Realm will be completely severed. This means that young disciples in the future will no longer be able to go to the Spirit Realm to find spiritual objects for the bond."
Hua Shi would think of the spiritual realm he had visited, the fairy-tale forests, lakes and seas in the spiritual realm, as well as the elf senior and mountain whale senior with whom he had now formed a bond. People and spiritual creatures have lived together for tens of thousands of years. If there are no spiritual creatures in the future, what will the Xuanqing Continent be like?
"But……"
Hua Shi still couldn't figure it out, and had no idea how to solve the current situation. He wanted to speak again, but there was a noise again not far away.
There seemed to be the sound of wind and strange water coming from the dark pit at the same time. People stared at the pit vigilantly and summoned their weapons. Then a black shadow suddenly rushed out, and another huge black snake rushed out of the pit!
Ji Yuan in front had a sullen expression on his face. He took two steps forward and swung his sleeves to emit a cold light. A red sword light flashed by and the black snake that had just rushed out fell to the ground instantly.
However, the strange things in the pit did not end there. Who knows how many more black snakes will come out of this hole.
Ji Yuan stared at that place and raised his voice to the people around him, "The people from Leihuoshan Villa of Hanxi Sect of Tianwen Mountain will stay here to deal with the black snake. Baiyue Mountain will go to various sects to inform the disciples to send people to help. Shuiyun City will go to investigate the statue of Xuanqing Spirit in Tianqing City and find a way to destroy the formation. Go now."
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, there was almost an uproar at the scene. Even Xuan Shuzhi raised his head slightly and looked at him with a little surprise.
Destroying the formation means giving up all connections with the spiritual realm. When the Xuanqing Spirit came from the spiritual realm, it took countless years to finally open this door between the two worlds. For tens of thousands of years, the people of the Xuanqing Continent and the spiritual creatures of the spiritual realm have been living together through this door. Now, to destroy the formation is to sever the connection between people and spiritual creatures. Future disciples will lose the opportunity to form a contract with spiritual creatures, lose their sharpest weapons, their most trusted partners and their closest friends.
"Spirit Master, this is not allowed!"
Someone on Tianwen Mountain shouted in a hoarse voice, and then many people followed suit, saying, "We can't destroy the formation!"
"If the formation is destroyed, how can we hold the Spiritual Transformation Conference in the future?"
"If the formation is gone, everything will be in chaos! You don't have the power to make such a decision!"
All kinds of voices drowned out Ji Yuan and others in the center of the crowd. Even Hua Shi was affected because he was too close to Ji Yuan. He felt countless gazes coming towards him, making it almost difficult to breathe.
Hua Shi took a step back and asked Liu Qishuang in his heart, "What should I do now?"
He did not get an immediate response. Liu Qishuang was thinking about something and was even more silent than usual. Hua Shi waited for a long time before finally hearing her whisper, "He has done enough, but the current situation is not something he can change."
Fang Wei saw what was happening here and realized that the current situation was no longer under Ji Yuan's control.
Ji Yuan's judgment was very correct. He had already seen that the black snake's actions were related to the Xuanqing Spirit Formation from the past. He also understood that only by destroying the formation could the invasion of the spiritual realm black snake be suppressed as soon as possible. But even if he intended to do so, people would not do as he said.
Just as Hua Shi had asked Xuan Shuzhi before, although Ji Yuan had the identity of the Lord of the Spiritual Path, he did not have the power to make everyone obey his orders. Many people in several sects of the Spiritual Path had different opinions, and many people simply could not accept Ji Yuan's decision.
What's more, Fang Wei knew very well that if he hesitated for a moment at this moment, it would be too late.
As if to confirm his guess, at this moment, a sound was heard again from the dark pit, and then several black snakes rushed out of the cave!
The people guarding the cave entrance were well prepared. The moment the black snakes rushed out, many people had already taken action to kill them on the spot.
But things were far from over. The black snake in front was killed and disappeared, and countless black snakes rushed out from behind, and they were coming faster and faster, and their strength seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. In just a moment, there were dozens of black snakes attacking the crowd, and many more black snakes flew towards the distant sky like black lines.
"Stop them!" Ji Yuan shouted without hesitation, and his figure went towards the sky, just in time to block a black snake that was about to escape.
The chaos lasted only a moment. By the time Hua Shi reacted, the people around him were already fighting with the black snake. Hua Shi no longer cared about anything else and summoned the Lingsha Sword from the Yunxiu Pen space and started fighting with the black snake as well.
The efforts made during this period were not in vain. Hua Shi could feel that he was not having a hard time dealing with this group of black snakes. However, there were a large number of black snakes, and they were still pouring out of the pit continuously. He didn't know when he could completely eliminate them.
And Hua Shi could clearly feel that, just like last time in Yuan Lake, the group of black snakes in front of him were getting stronger.
"Will they be able to absorb that power and become stronger as long as they come to Xuanqing Continent?" Hua Shi swung his sword and even summoned the evil spirit into a spiritual state. While dealing with the black snake, he talked in his mind, "If they stay in Xuanqing Continent for a longer time, will they become stronger?"
Hua Shi was thinking about exactly what Fang Wei was worried about. After a moment of silence, he said truthfully, "You guessed right."
The monster in the abyss was continuously transmitting its power to the group of black snakes through some kind of connection. The black snakes had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and had devoured countless sacrifices. No one knew how strong they were when they were suppressed by the abyss. The group of black snakes only got a little bit of their power, which was enough to turn the entire Xuanqing Continent upside down.
There seems to be no other way at this time.
Hua Shi seemed to hear Liu Qishuang sighing softly. The sound was very light. If he had not been waiting for Liu Qishuang's response earnestly, he might not have heard it at all. He didn't know what Liu Qishuang was going to do, but at that moment he felt inexplicably panicked. However, before he could say anything, Xuan Shuzhi had already approached Hua Shi and killed a black snake that was about to attack him.
Hua Shi keenly noticed that there seemed to be a strange black line connecting the black snake's body.
"What is that black line?" Hua Shi asked in surprise.
"What's the black line?" Xuan Shuzhi frowned and said, apparently not noticing anything unusual. "Get out of here, leave now."
Hua Shi then realized that the black lines seemed to be something only he could see. The black lines were extremely inconspicuous and Hua Shi had not noticed them before. Now that he focused his attention on the black lines, he realized that all the black snakes here seemed to have a faint black silk line on their bodies. They all connected to somewhere in the west. He didn't know what was at the end of those black lines.
Why was it that only he could see the black lines, but others couldn't? His cultivation was not as good as Xuan Shuzhi Ji Yuan and others, so logically he shouldn't have seen more than others. Was it because he had something special?
When Hua Shi thought of this, he suddenly said to Liu Qishuang in his mind: "Is it because you saw it that I can see it too?"
Unfortunately, before he could wait for Liu Qishuang's answer, Xuan Shuzhi had already thrown Hua Shi out. Hua Shi's steps were unsteady and he kept retreating. He bumped into someone before he finally stopped. He looked back and realized that the person who caught him was Senior Yi Zhan.
Yi Zhan glanced at Xuan Shuzhi, then turned his gaze to Hua Shi, and then said: "Your master asked you to leave quickly, so don't make trouble here."
Hua Shi said: "But you..."
He wanted to ask the other seniors how they were doing and how to solve the problems here, but when he turned around, he realized that both Senior Wen Zhong and Senior Bai Heng were already fighting in the crowd. He whispered, "I can also deal with those black snakes."
Yi Zhan was fighting the black snake in front of him, and he seemed to be gradually getting tired. After a while, he said, "It's a pity, now it seems that you can't do it."
Hua Shi's face turned pale as he realized that in just a short moment, the black snakes seemed to have become much stronger than before. Many people present were having a harder time dealing with them and were even beginning to feel exhausted.
This speed has far exceeded Hua Shi's expectations.
"Hurry up and go!" Yi Zhan didn't say any more to Hua Shi. He and Xuan Shuzhi were inseparable, so he naturally knew that Xuan Shuzhi had cast a spell on Hua Shi's Lingsha Sword. So after shouting this, he immediately made up his mind and tapped Hua Shi's sword. Then he slightly released his spiritual power, and the Lingsha Sword in Hua Shi's hand sensed the spell. A white light flashed on the sword tip, turned around and came to Hua Shi's feet, carrying him to fly towards the distant Duanling Pavilion.
Hua Shi was slightly startled by the noise. He stepped on the sword and looked down. Looking at the shocking melee, he couldn't help but shouting, "Senior!" His body was unstable, but the Lingsha Sword seemed to be spiritual and did not let him fall at all. He simply bent down and looked at the battle situation below with worry.
He knew that he could only provide limited help at this moment, and he vaguely guessed something from Xuan Shuzhi and Ji Yuan's reluctance to let him stay there, but he was still unwilling to leave here now.
As he watched the Spirit Sand Sword taking him away, Hua Shi suddenly heard Liu Qishuang's voice in his head, saying, "Go back."
Hua Shi was suddenly stunned.
Then he heard Liu Qishuang's calm and resolute voice: "Go back to that pit. I have a way."
