Chapter 371 Xuanyuan Tower
Suddenly, an old man's low laugh was heard in the air.
The elder's heart moved, he looked towards the top of the tower and whispered:
"Could it be that our ancestors had already seen that she was a descendant of the Xuanyuan clan, and that's why they kept her?"
The old ancestor's voice sounded, and he seemed to be in a good mood:
"Not to mention that our Seven Stars Palace's unique skills are never passed on to outsiders, even if they were, outsiders wouldn't be able to cultivate Qimen Dunjia to this level without understanding the essentials."
"Another point is that I, an old man, can't figure out where this little girl's abilities came from."
Although he did not directly state his judgment, several elders had already shown signs of enlightenment.
"So that's how it is!" the Great Elder muttered. "If we talk about the talent in Qimen Dunjia that can rival the Sect Leader's lineage in this world... it turns out to be only the Xuanyuan lineage..."
The third elder agreed deeply:
"If Yun Qingqing is a descendant of the Xuanyuan clan, then that makes sense...it can only be this way! Our ancestors had a keen eye!"
"No wonder the ancestor wanted to accept her as his personal disciple. The Xuanyuan family's bloodline is indeed qualified." The fifth elder recalled Yun Qingqing's performance along the way and sighed.
The other elders also agreed.
Hundreds of years ago, the Xuanyuan clan disappeared, which was a huge blow to the Seven Stars Palace!
In fact, the Seven Stars Palace had tried many ways to find the whereabouts of the Xuanyuan clan, but the results were not optimistic. It has now been tacitly accepted that the Xuanyuan clan had been exterminated for unknown reasons.
Now suddenly such a little girl appears in front of us, no wonder the ancestors attach so much importance to her.
…
Inside the Xuanyuan Tower.
Yun Qingqing effortlessly unlocked the sensor stone at the door. Before entering, she solemnly instructed:
"Once you enter the tower, you must not leave my side, understand?"
Xiao Changheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and nodded obediently:
"Remember."
The two of them walked in one after the other.
As soon as Xiao Changheng stepped into the door, he felt his eyes blurred, foggy and his vision obstructed.
There were many illusions in the fog, as if there were demons and monsters whispering, and as if there were fairies and gods guiding him. He immediately held his breath and focused his mind.
But he found that Yun Qingqing, who was just one step in front of him, was no longer visible!
Xiao Changheng's heart trembled, and he hurried forward to chase after him, but just after taking two steps, someone suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes from behind.
"Where are you going? I'm here." The familiar voice made him feel at ease. He turned around and saw Yun Qingqing standing behind him.
She looked up at him, smiled and held out her hand to him:
"Didn't I tell you not to leave my side? Come, give me your hand."
Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned when he saw her beautiful smiling face.
The girl in front of him saw that he was in a daze, her eyebrows curved, and she took the initiative to step forward and hold his hand.
Xiao Changheng's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took a step back to avoid her hand.
"Hmm?" Yun Qingqing frowned, looking slightly annoyed, "Why are you hiding..."
Before she could finish her words, a golden light suddenly shot out from behind Xiao Changheng, shooting straight towards Yun Qingqing in front of him, and at the same time a cold voice sounded behind him.
"roll!"
The Yun Qingqing in front of him suddenly disappeared. Xiao Changheng turned around suddenly and saw another Yun Qingqing standing in front of him with a cold look.
"A mere demon dares to pretend to be me. What a jerk!"
As she spoke, she walked straight over and took Xiao Changheng's hand, saying coldly:
"Let's go."
Xiao Changheng breathed a sigh of relief, hummed softly, followed her for a few steps, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her again.
Yun Qingqing noticed his gaze and asked calmly:
"how?"
Xiao Changheng pondered for a moment and said softly:
"You seem... not in a good mood?"
"No." Yun Qingqing's voice was very light.
She was usually quite quiet and lonely, but Xiao Changheng felt that it was different at this moment.
At least before she entered this doorway, she wasn't in such a bad mood.
But Yun Qingqing had no intention of saying anything, and Xiao Changheng didn't want to ask her any more, so he had to calm down and follow her footsteps.
Strangely enough, at this moment the fog is still spreading all around, and everywhere the sight is filled with bizarre illusions, which seem to be accompanied by all kinds of confusing whispers.
But the feeling that would make my heart flutter if I wasn't careful just now has completely disappeared.
He was pondering the difference when he suddenly heard the girl beside him speak in a calm voice:
"Aren't you afraid of recognizing the wrong person? Is that the one just now the real Yun Qingqing?"
Xiao Changheng was slightly startled, then raised the corner of his mouth:
"How could that be you?"
Yun Qingqing paused and turned to look at him:
"Are you so sure?"
Xiao Changheng also stopped and turned around, looking at the girl's expressionless face, and seemed to understand why her mood suddenly turned bad.
He suddenly chuckled:
"I don't understand what this maze is. I only know the real you, and you won't lose."
"...Oh." Yun Qingqing seemed to be thinking about something, "That's the truth."
She nodded and continued walking.
Although the little girl's expression had not changed from just now, Xiao Changheng felt that the invisible cold aura from her body had dissipated a lot.
"Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation." Yun Qingqing suddenly said.
"What?" Xiao Changheng's thoughts came back to her and he asked subconsciously.
"This maze is a sub-array within the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams Array. It specifically targets the five senses and the mind. If one's resolve is not firm, once one enters the array, one will be lost and will never be able to escape."
"This formation is just the most basic level in Xuanyuan Tower. The higher you go, the harder it will be to deal with."
Xiao Changheng turned his head and glanced at her, then said without any nervousness:
"But you seem quite confident, and... quite familiar with this tower?"
Yun Qingqing was silent for a moment, and then answered the question irrelevantly:
"To avoid a repeat of the situation just now, don't let go of your hands until you leave the tower. Remember?"
Xiao Changheng was slightly startled, turned his head away, and his eyebrows curved slightly:
"Okay, got it."
As he spoke, Yun Qingqing stopped, made a hand gesture, a golden light flashed, and then he pulled Xiao Changheng and took a step to the side.
The fog in front of me suddenly dissipated, revealing a staircase leading upwards.
Xiao Changheng calculated the time in his mind and felt that it was only a cup of tea. He couldn't help but sigh:
"You've already passed the first level? It doesn't seem as difficult as the elders said."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old ancestor's low laugh suddenly came from the air.
But the old man laughed twice and then fell silent, as if he had no intention of saying anything.
Xiao Changheng frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
Yun Qingqing turned to look at him and said calmly:
"It's still early. This is only one-ninth of the first floor."
Xiao Changheng's expression paused:
"...Does that mean there are nine more formations like this?"
"Not only that, the formation will change. Didn't I say it would get harder as we go on?" Yun Qingqing's voice didn't sound nervous at all.
She looked up and suddenly smiled:
"So, I'm afraid I'll have to let down that old man above me next."
"Um?"
The voice that had just disappeared suddenly sounded again, and it seemed a little uneasy.
"Girl, don't mess around. This Xuanyuan Tower is not a joke!"
