Chapter 268: If you keep thinking about the forbidden technique, there will be a response.
If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response.
Wei Mubai, who was preparing in front of the forbidden area's barrier, suddenly covered his chest tightly, his eyes as deep as the abyss, penetrating through layers of void.
He missed Xu Hui so much, so was that Xu Hui responding to him?
Is she missing him too?
Then, his eyes became firm: Wait for me! I will come to save you immediately!
I asked the busy people in front of me, "Are you ready?"
One of them stepped out, a puzzled look on his face. "Second Young Master, I'm sure this is the place. I saw Yi Qingxue disappear from here before, and after staking out for a few days, she emerged from here again."
"Well," Wei Mubai said calmly, "Qian Shu, I believe you. Your tracking skills are among the best in the Wei family. No matter how capable Yi Qingxue is, she won't be able to escape your pursuit."
"But we've been searching for a long time and still can't find the entrance. What should we do?" Wei Shushu's expression was a little ugly. Although the second young master affirmed his ability, it was a fact that Yi Qingxue had been out of his surveillance for a while.
What did she do during this time?
From the cautious attitude of the Young Master and the Second Young Master, it is clear that this is definitely not a simple matter.
I'm afraid it's a major event that concerns the entire Wei family and even the people of the world, perhaps a major disaster.
Otherwise, the Second Young Master would not have brought so many top talents from the Wei family with him. If it was just to save the Second Young Master's wife, according to the Second Young Master's style, he would have only brought his own confidants and subordinates.
The selection of candidates this time almost mobilized the entire Wei family's resources.
When the war between the aristocratic families reached its most critical moment, everyone was fully prepared for battle, deploying manpower to develop and protect the precious resources that were about to be obtained, while allowing the family members to take advantage of this opportunity to improve their cultivation as much as possible.
No matter which one, it is an important moment to enhance the overall strength of the Wei family. However, the head of the family sent so many top talents to help the second young master, not just to save one person.
If the head of the Wei family was such a selfish person who ignored the interests of others for the sake of his own son and daughter-in-law, the Wei family would have fallen into decline long ago, and the children of the Wei family would all be resentful and would not be as united as they are now.
Even at the critical moment of promotion, I was willing to be sent out to work.
This means that something big must have happened, something more important than improving one's own and one's family's strength!
So many people were busy trying to find a way to explain Yi Qingxue's disappearance, but he couldn't help at all. He watched helplessly as they wasted countless time, energy, and resources, yet still got nothing. Naturally, he felt anxious and embarrassed.
This was a mistake in his work. The young master entrusted him with an important task, but he failed to do it well. He allowed Yi Qingxue to run away under his nose and caused such a big trouble.
Hence his unpleasant expression, eager to atone for his sins. "Second Young Master, we've tried formations, talismans, barriers, illusions, restrictions, and other methods. Either the forbidden area isn't using methods we're familiar with, or it was completely sealed off after Yi Qingxue came out, or it simply disappeared. Otherwise, it's impossible that there wouldn't be any trace left."
Wei Mubai frowned slightly, "No clue at all?"
After thinking for a moment, he asked doubtfully, "You really didn't sense the fluctuations of the teleportation talisman or the teleportation array at the time?"
Wei Lushu is one of the cultivators with the strongest soul perception ability in the Wei family. He is born with a stronger perception than ordinary people. After practicing a technique to train his soul perception, he is not the strongest in the entire cultivation world, but a cultivator of Yi Qingxue's level cannot escape his perception.
And no one knew about this except a few people.
Wei Lushu became Wei Muheng's confidant because he was good at handling interpersonal relationships. People with strong perception can often detect the development of events through the other party's subtle emotional changes and adjust in time to the most beneficial plan for the Wei family.
So he is Wei Muheng's good assistant, but no one knows his true ability.
This is also the reason why Wei Muheng chose to use him. After noticing Yi Qingxue's unusualness, he knew that ordinary means and ordinary cultivators could not deal with Yi Qingxue. Instead, she might notice it and alert her.
Wei Shu is not only a confidant, but also a man of strong mind who is not easily influenced by Yi Qingxue's abnormal luck. He is also known for his good interpersonal communication skills. Even if he is exposed, Yi Qingxue will guess the relationship between the Wei family and the Yuchi family.
After all, on the surface, she is still the young master of the Yuchi family.
Of course, it would be best if it could not be exposed!
The fact is that Wei Shushu's hiding method has been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations, and he did hide it from Yi Qingxue, but due to special circumstances, she threw him off again.
It is now extremely difficult for them to track down what Yi Qingxue did in the forbidden area.
"I'm sure!" Wei Chenshu said firmly, "Whether she disappeared or reappeared, there was no teleportation fluctuation!"
Wei Mubai's eyes fixed, his tone was calm, but every word he said struck everyone's heart like a huge rock, making them feel heavy. "Then, there is only one way left!"
Everyone's faces turned serious, and they all had a bad premonition.
"Since we are sure that this is the entrance, and we have tried everything but still can't open it, then the only option left is... brute force!" Wei Mubai looked around the room and spoke word by word.
There are only two ways to break a ban. One is to find a regular method, which saves time and effort.
Another one is to destroy violently with absolute power.
In this world, there is nothing that is absolutely unopenable. If there is, it is because you are not strong enough. But if you have enough power, you can crush everything.
For example, no matter how powerful a Qi Refining Stage formation is, it cannot trap a Jindan Stage cultivator who does not understand formations and can simply break it with force.
But, for an ancient god’s burial place, how terrifying a force would it take to crush it?
At the very least, it should be more than twice the strength of the ancient god when he set up the formation, right?
And these people probably don't even have half the strength of the ancient god at that time. No, maybe even less than one-tenth.
Why do they brute force it?
"You are crazy!" Wei Gongbi, a powerful man at the peak of the Mahayana stage in the Wei family, immediately changed his face.
At his level, everything about the Wei family is no longer a secret to him.
So he knew that the reason why the Wei family could stand firm was not only because of the alchemy inheritance that made the world jealous and the continuous emergence of alchemy geniuses, but also because the Wei family mastered the three forbidden techniques.
One of them is the 'Heavenly Burning Forbidden', which burns and sacrifices souls in exchange for tremendous power.
At the cost of the purest soul power, one can obtain the energy that can crush all living beings and break all spells, and win directly.
But the price is that this person's soul will never be complete again and will dissipate directly after death. There is no possibility of going to the spiritual world, nor the chance of becoming an immortal.
If the opponent is too powerful, like the Ancient God, his soul will probably be burned before he can be crushed successfully.
Back then, the Wei family was targeted by several major families and a huge evil organization, and was almost wiped out. The Wei family directly used the "Heavenly Burning Forbidden".
One after another, the Wei family members burned their souls and directly crushed a group of high-level cultivators, fighting one against a hundred.
In the end, at the cost of more than a thousand people losing their souls, they controlled and killed more than 100,000 people who came to attack the Wei family!
In this battle, half of the cultivation world was killed, and the Wei family suffered heavy losses.
But from then on, the Wei family became one of the most intolerable families, because they not only had alchemy skills, but also had powerful military strength.
The 'Heavenly Burning Prohibition' is like the 'Peace Martial Arts', becoming a means of intimidating the entire world of cultivation, and even the demon world, monster world and other races.
Yes, the demons and monsters did not believe in evil and attacked the world of cultivation. They almost succeeded once, and the Wei family used this method again. Together with the killing moves of other families, it directly laid the foundation for the current pattern of the world of cultivation and other circles.
Even though they seem to be undisturbed by other realms now, in fact, the resources of the cultivation realm are the most abundant, and the territories of other realms are actually barren lands that cultivators do not value.
Various races have long coveted the world of cultivation, but they dare not make any moves and hide in a corner, all of which are caused by fighting.
Among them, the Wei family's "Heavenly Burning Forbidden" and the forbidden techniques of various families played a huge role.
Before finding a way to counter these forbidden techniques, a large-scale attack would only result in a waste of lives. That is why the world of cultivation, the world of demons, the world of monsters, etc. are so peaceful now and can even share what they have with each other.
This is all about the deterrence of force!
However, such a high level of combat power is obtained at a huge price, and it can easily cause people to lose their souls. The price is too heavy, and it is impossible for human cultivators to use it without scruples.
And now, Wei Mubai actually used such devastating and cruel means in order to enter the forbidden area. No wonder his expression changed drastically.
"No! This is absolutely not allowed!" Wei Gongbi firmly objected, saying fiercely, "No matter what your reasons are, I will not allow you to use such means!"
When the others heard this, they also showed expressions of horror.
On the contrary, Wei Mubai said in his usual calm tone, "Uncle, this is the only way at the moment!"
"No, we can also capture Yi Qingxue and let her take us in!" Wei Gongbi's mind worked very quickly. He immediately proposed different plans. In any case, he firmly opposed this method.
Wei Mubai said calmly, "No! She can't go in. If, as we speculated, she spreads evil spirits in there... there are ancient giant beasts in there. It's only a matter of time before they are infected by the evil spirits and turn into Tai Sui. If she goes in, it will accelerate this time and turn the possibility into an immediate one! So not only can she not go in, we must control her before she enters, preferably..."
His expression suddenly turned cold, filled with a ruthless and murderous aura.
This was the first time that the second young master of the Wei family, as cold as ice and snow on a mountain, revealed such a terrifying and murderous aura, "Kill her!"
Wei Gongbi's expression was stern. "This matter?"
"Someone will do it," Wei Mubai said calmly, "Our mission is to open the forbidden area, dispel the evil spirits, and prevent the emergence of Tai Sui!"
"No, it still won't work!" Wei Gongbi was not misled by Wei Mubai's words and lost his calm judgment. "Your method is to break the forbidden area with violence. When the restriction is destroyed, the evil spirits and ancient beasts inside can no longer be controlled. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if they break out?"
Instead of doing this, it would be better to seal them in the forbidden area.
Presumably, even if they formed Tai Sui, they would not be able to break through the restrictions set by the ancient gods in a short period of time. As long as they killed Yi Qingxue and ensured that no one could enter or leave, they could maintain peace for a while.
As for the future, with the combined strength of the ten major families, they will always be able to find a way to get rid of Tai Sui.
This is much safer than Wei Mubai's risky and reckless approach.
After saying that, he attacked directly and knocked Wei Mubai unconscious.
Before fainting, Wei Mubai had a look of astonishment and despair in his eyes. He looked at him in disbelief, and then fainted helplessly.
"Your Excellency," Wei Shushu exclaimed. He did not expect Wei Gongbi to act so decisively.
"Xuan Shu!" Wei Gongbi's eyes were solemn and his tone was firm. "I can't let him release Tai Sui just to save Xu Hui! No matter how important she is or how great her contribution is, this is not allowed! Do you understand?"
"But..." Wei Qinshu hesitated, "The Second Young Master will not ignore the overall situation. He must have his own way..."
"His method is to set up a large formation. After the restrictions are lifted, he will temporarily control the evil spirit and the ancient beasts, and then hand them over to the ten great families to deal with. But we all know that this method is fraught with danger. If it goes wrong, it will be another catastrophe that will destroy the world!" Wei Gongbi's eyes were full of meaning. "Have you calculated how many people will die by then?"
"Second Young Master should..."
"He knew it clearly in his heart, but he didn't care about it for Xu Hui!" Wei Gongbi turned his back and said in a sad tone, "Wei Mubai is not Wei Muheng. He is not a selfless person."
The whole place was silent, as if everyone agreed.
