Time goes back three hours.
Zhuang Yuechan and Yin Shang got the news much earlier than Song Changsheng, but they were busy with affairs in the city and didn't pay attention.
After all, in the previous battle, they killed a lot of Great Demons, and there were at least a dozen Demon Cores. Just one Great Demon was not worth their effort.
But until today, they accidentally got the news that the person who was severely injured and fled to the Griffon Mountain Range was actually Mystic Armored Turtle Clan Great Demon - Golden Armor who had led his troops to attack Sunset City!
After Golden Armor was severely injured, he used a secret method to escape from the battlefield and disappeared. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the Griffon Mountain Range.
After learning the news, Zhan Tianxia decisively sent Yin Shang, Niu Dazhuang, Zhuang Yuechan and other second-generation disciples to the Griffon Mountain Range, not only to temper them, but also to eliminate future troubles.
Golden Armor is not an ordinary Great Demon, it has the potential to grow into Demon King, which is why Lei Ming pushed it out to die.
After the group arrived at the Griffon Mountain Range, they used the tortoise shell fragments they found on the battlefield and used Source Tracing Secret Art to find the hiding place of Golden Armor...
"Senior Martial Brother, the roads in the cave extend in all directions and the environment is complicated. It might be inappropriate to enter hastily." Standing in front of the huge cave entrance, looking at the dark passage, Zhuang Yuechan looked at the young monk in front of him with some hesitation.
The young monk was dressed in white clothes, with a Jade Flute inserted into his waist. He held his right hand on his chest, and a small piece of golden tortoise shell emitted a hazy light.
He looked at the dark hole, frowned slightly, and hesitated for a moment.
"Oh, Senior Disciple Brother, why are you hesitating? It's just a hole. It's a good place to catch turtles in an urn. If junior sister is afraid, just stay at the entrance of the hole and don't go down." Niu Dazhuang said angrily.
As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Yuechan immediately glared at him. This guy was as reckless as ever.
At this time, Yin Shang, who was at the front of the team, said slowly, "No matter what, the tasks assigned by the master must be completed. After we enter the cave, remember not to act at will, let alone leave the team."
Speaking of this, he also took a special look at Niu Dazhuang.
After the explanation, Yin Shang took the lead, following the guidance of Secret Art, and took the lead in stepping into the cave, followed by the others, who filed in.
When Niu Dazhuang entered the cave, his steps suddenly stopped, and then he looked around in confusion.
"Second Senior Brother?" A young disciple was stunned when he saw this, and asked quickly.
"It's nothing, it might be an illusion." Niu Dazhuang shook his head, and then followed the pace of Yin Shang and others.
After all the group entered the cave, a gust of breeze blew away the fallen leaves and loose soil on the ground, revealing a dark emblem where Niu Dazhuang had been standing...
The space in the cave was large and there were many forks. Fortunately, they had tortoise shells as a medium. After walking through the cave for nearly an hour, Yin Shang stopped and said in a deep voice, "There is Demon Qi!"
Everyone increased their vigilance and slowly moved forward.
Soon, they stepped into a huge underground cavity, and an extremely strong Demon Qi hit their faces instantly.
Then they saw a scene that shocked everyone...
After figuring out the Array in front of him, Song Changsheng looked at Xu Yunhe beside him and said, "Brother Xu, are you willing to come with me?"
"I dare not invite you as I wish!" Xu Yunhe showed no fear on his stern face.
"Okay, let's go down and see who dares to set up such a trap."
The two came to the cave, Song Changsheng was running [Illusion Breaking Eye], and the veins of Array appeared clearly in front of his eyes, and the black emblem on the ground in front of the cave entrance was naturally invisible.
"The first node was discovered so quickly." Song Changsheng frowned slightly. The residual aura on this emblem gave him a familiar feeling.
"Brother Song, what do we need to do?"
"Don't move this emblem yet. Array has not started yet. Destroying the node at this time will alert the snake. Let's write down the location first and continue to look for other nodes."
Song Changsheng took out a thumb-sized brown Medicinal Pills from Universe Bag, buried it in the wall, and explained:
"After Array is activated, we are likely to lose our way. This is [Hundred Flower Pill], which has a very long aroma. Burying it here in advance will prevent us from losing the location of the exit."
After doing all this, under the leadership of Song Changsheng, they followed in the direction of Zhuang Yuechan and others.
When they first entered the cave, they noticed a violent shaking, like Earth Dragon's Turn.
"Array is activated. That person is about to take action. Brother Xu, hold on tight!"
Xu Yunhe's expression changed and he grabbed Song Changsheng's arm.
The next moment, bursts of Formation Patterns emitting golden light emerged. If anyone looked down from the air, they would find that the top of the cave was tightly held tightly by a large network of golden Formation Patterns.
"What is this?"
"Why is there Array here?"
Several monks who had not yet entered the cave because they were one step behind looked at the sudden scene in front of them and were a little at a loss.
But soon they realized that this was probably a trap, and they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, going their separate ways.
There are also people who are trying to crack Array or find ways to notify the monks in Array.
But [Universe Locking Void Formation] is known for blocking space and can only be broken from the inside. If you want to break it from the outside, perhaps only Golden Core True Person can do it.
The space was blocked, all messages were isolated, and they were unable to contact the monks inside. For a moment, everyone only felt chills running down their spines.
How dare you plot against so many monks at once? Is the other party going to start a war with the entire Great Qi Cultivation World?
"We must seek help from our master immediately."
"Hurry up and go to Sunset City to notify Great City Lord!"
Just when there was a mess outside, the monks in the cave didn't know what was happening. Just when everyone was at a loss, bursts of strange black mist began to spread in the cave.
The monks in the cave were soon horrified to find that the Divine Sense they had spread out was quickly retreating. Foundation Establishment Cultivator was directly suppressed to a radius of ten feet, and Purple Palace Cultivator was also suppressed to a radius of one hundred feet.
As for Qi Condensation Cultivator who followed them in, he couldn't even release Divine Sense.
Before everyone could find a way to deal with it, the black emblems hidden in every corner began to release strange black waves.
At this moment, many monks suddenly discovered in horror that their companions who were still beside them had somehow lost their breath and traces.
For a moment, the air of fear spread.
Some people were rushing to escape in the same direction, but the passage in the cave had long been affected by Array, and everyone invariably moved farther and farther away from their companions and the exit.
Deep in the cave, in an underground space filled with stalagmites and stalactites, an old man in a torn black robe revealed a bloodthirsty smile, and then slowly blended into Black Mist.
Not long after, screams and the sound of blood splattering were heard in each passage and in each corner...
"Brother Xu, reach out and grab my belt now."
Black Mist not only suppressed Divine Sense, but also blocked his sight. Even if he was close at hand, he couldn't see anything clearly. Fortunately, he had the foresight to grab Xu Yunhe's arm, so the two of them were not separated.
After Xu Yunhe grabbed his hand on his belt, he took out [Demon Binding Rope] and tied it around their waists. This way, they would not be afraid of any accidents that would cause them to be separated.
"Brother Song, can you still sense the location of Fellow Daoist Zhuang now?"
Song Changsheng nodded and said, "Okay."
But then he frowned and said, "But Fellow Daoist Zhuang is not with fellow Daoist Yin Shang and they are moving quickly."
"Maybe they got separated accidentally. Didn't you say this is one of [Universe Locking Void Formation]'s abilities?" Xu Yunhe seemed very calm at the moment.
"But after being separated, her character would definitely not move so aimlessly and quickly."
Xu Yunhe was startled when he heard this, and blurted out. "You mean Fellow Daoist Zhuang encountered danger after being separated?"
"I'm afraid so, Brother Xu, follow me closely!" Song Changsheng held Tai Chi Diagram, ran [Illusion Breaking Eye], and quickly swept towards the direction of Zhuang Yuechan...
In the cave filled by Black Mist, Zhuang Yuechan stumbled and groped forward, holding on to the wall. The bright red blood soaked through the snow-white veil, like delicate plum blossoms.
The severe pain kept trying to regain her consciousness, which made her a little dazed, but she still clenched her teeth and moved forward step by step, with beads of sweat dripping down.
Since Divine Sense was suppressed and the passage was disrupted by Array, she could only rely on her own intuition to find the exit.
"Jie Jie Jie, I didn't expect you to be able to run."
Suddenly the Black Mist in front of her was distorted, and an old man in a torn black robe appeared behind her, holding his arms and looking at her with a sneer.
Zhuang Yuechan's complexion changed drastically, and his bare hands quietly tightened a ring Jade Pendant around his waist.
"Who are you? Do you want to be an enemy of the entire Great Qi Cultivation World?" Zhuang Yuechan scolded sternly.
"Hehe, what you righteous people say is really interesting. It was you who forced me to this point in the first place. I am just trying to treat others with my own way.
It's a pity that we didn't see those bastards from the Blazing Sun Sect today, but it doesn't matter, Tianquan will collect some interest today! "A mysterious smile appeared on the old man's face, and a dim light appeared in his palm, pressing towards Zhuang Yuechan.
"Click"
Zhuang Yuechan instinctively crushed Jade Pendant around her waist, and an oval-shaped shield suddenly blocked her body.
The dim light hit it as if hitting a soft film, sinking in for an instant, but rebounding at a faster speed the next moment.
The old man's expression changed slightly, he crossed his hands in front of him to protect himself, and was knocked back a few steps by the dim light.
At this time, Zhuang Yuechan took the opportunity to release the last Third Tier Low-Grade Talismans on his body. A Sword Qi burst out with brilliant light in the cave and chopped directly towards the old man's head.
"Tsk"
Sword Qi instantly tore the old man's Body-Protecting Astral Qi apart, but the old man was well prepared and dodged directly with his agile Movement Technique, leaving only a slight sword mark on his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, a look of regret flashed across Zhuang Yuechan's face. She originally thought that this blow could hurt him.
Looking at the scabbed wound, the old man's eyes flashed with anger. If he didn't want a quick victory, he would definitely make her life worse than death today!
"Go to hell, ant!" A small black snake appeared in the old man's palm.
Zhuang Yuechan closed her eyes slightly, but death did not come as expected. The little snake swept past her with the strong wind.
Soon there was a loud noise in the distance.
"Who is it?" Looking at the fog that was constantly billowing behind Zhuang Yuechan, the old man's sinister eyes shot out with dangerous light.
He originally planned to kill Zhuang Yuechan directly, but he did not expect that two strange auras appeared not far away. He thought they were monks who had fled here, so he temporarily changed the target of the attack and planned to deal with these two uninvited guests first.
Unexpectedly, under his full blow, the two people were unscathed. At this moment, he realized that a hard fight might be coming.
Facing his question, the person who responded to him was an earthy yellow object, which looked like an ordinary clod of soil, but the old man felt an aura that made his hair stand on end.
"[Earth Element Divine Thunder]?" After seeing the incoming object clearly, the old man let out a strange scream, waved his sleeve, and Soul Banner with a picture of a ferocious evil ghost embroidered on one side appeared in his hand and blocked it in front of him.
"Boom——"
A huge explosion sounded, followed by a dazzling thunder.
Just when Zhuang Yuechan was about to be swallowed by Thunderstorm, she felt a figure quickly rush to her side, one hand wrapped around her waist, and the other hand unfolded a Tai Chi Diagram that exuded pure white fluorescence.
And with the help of this weak fluorescence, she could clearly see the face of the person coming.
"Why is he here? Is he hallucinating..." Doubts appeared in Zhuang Yuechan's mind, and then his consciousness was completely swallowed up and he fell into a coma.
"Boom——"
"Tsk"
Thunderstorm hit Tai Chi Diagram, splashing out a series of arcs.
There was a hint of surprise in Song Changsheng's eyes. He knew that the mysterious Tai Chi Diagram had strong defense, but he didn't expect that it could resist [Earth Element Divine Thunder] head-on so easily.
He was not a newbie to Thatched Cottage. Although he was shocked, he quickly carried the unconscious Zhuang Yuechan and used [Fleeting Light and Shadow] to sweep back.
The next moment, the cave collapsed, submerging the old man inside Thunderstorm.
"Brother Xu, take Fellow Daoist Zhuang and leave first, I'll take the back!" Song Changsheng took off the [Demon Binding Rope] from his waist and tied it to Zhuang Yuechan's body, saying in a hurry.
Xu Yunhe is also a decisive person. He knew that staying here would only hinder Song Changsheng. He took out an object from his arms and handed it to Song Changsheng's hand and said, "This is a Third Tier Low-Grade Sword Talisman. It can be used once. Brother Song, be careful!"
Taking Sword Talisman, Song Changsheng nodded cautiously and said, "You just move forward, I will stop him for a moment, and I will come to find you soon. If you encounter a node that I have marked on the road, you can destroy it directly."
"Don't worry." Xu Yunhe picked up Zhuang Yuechan, looked at Song Changsheng deeply, and then quickly swept back.
After the two of them walked out of his Divine Sense range, a cold look appeared on Song Changsheng's face, and he took out another [Earth Element Divine Thunder]...
