Li Yan At this time, he no longer cared about the thoughts of those two people. This was an idea based on his absolute suppression power. He just needed to be careful of sneak attacks by the other party.
He was thinking more about the process of breaking the ban just now, as well as the attack feedback from the formation, etc. He needed to keep these feelings firmly in mind as soon as possible.
He didn't have time to understand it carefully now, but he had to think about it carefully later. At the same time, through Li Yan's attack this time, he finally understood to what extent Body Refining Technique's synchronization reached after the soul technique began to reach a perfect balance.
This is very important to him. It allows Li Yan to make a planned choice whether to advance or retreat when facing some dangerous places, and the safety is greatly enhanced. This time it is really worthwhile to take action...
At this time, the four people here were more able to confirm that there should be no living creatures in this city. Despite such a huge movement, no living creatures appeared to investigate.
Li Yan Just as he was speaking, the protective spiritual shield rose again on his body, and he entered the city gate in a flash...
After the two gates were knocked open, there was still some light cyan light emanating from them, as if a curtain of light was formed at the city gate.
The two bronze doors are slowly closing together, as if they will close again soon...
Watching Li Yan pass directly through the light curtain, Shuang Qingqing didn't speak at all, and almost without any hesitation, he followed closely and walked in in the same way.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, let's go in too!"
Yin Kongjin said to Fang Xianhu. The two exchanged glances quickly. Divine Sense glanced forward and saw two figures disappearing behind the light curtain.
The two of them found that Divine Sense was in place. After confirming that this was not an illusory formation set up by the other party, they did not want to delay any further.
"Let's go!"
Fang Xianhu shouted low, and the two of them also flew past, instantly passing through the light curtain and quickly following in.
The city gate was only three miles away, and the four people passed through it almost instantly. Although they were careful to defend themselves, there was no attack in the city gate after the city gate was opened.
The four people's eyes lit up slightly, and another scene appeared in front of them. It was still a little dark inside the city gate cave just now. After they came out, the sky was green and green, making the place look very gloomy.
The sight that appeared in front of them made the four people's eyes flicker or their expressions were slightly startled.
They arrived here very quickly. In addition, all the attention of the few people just now was placed on the city gate hole they passed through, for fear of any unexpected attack.
When the four figures passed through the city gate in a flash and arrived here in an instant, they saw the scene in front of them.
The scene in the city was completely different from what they imagined. It was not a street, and there were not many buildings.
After the four people exited the city gate, just like a normal city, there was a road extending out from the city gate.
But this road is not paved with the most common Bluestone Slab, but a dirt road without grass. It looks like five or six people can walk side by side...
Moreover, there are not just streets or shops on both sides of the road, but various tents and large flags.
It's just that these tents and flags have long been in dilapidated condition. Many tents have collapsed holes, and some tents have completely collapsed, leaving only a crumpled oilcloth spread on the ground.
The wooden stakes supporting the tent seemed to have been pulled out of the ground after the tent collapsed, and were scattered everywhere...
There were also not many complete flags, and some had only a few strips of cloth hanging down, hanging feebly on them.
And more of the flags were incomplete, with only a bare flagpole standing there. The flags had turned black, and only their former colors could be vaguely discerned.
On these scattered ground, you can occasionally see some Dharma Treasure fragments, but the spiritual energy on them is extremely weak...
The dirt road extending from the city gate cave seemed to be deserted, but strangely no weeds grew.
A lot of weeds grew on the ground of the tents on both sides of the road, but the weeds were dark black and not very tall, only about five or six inches.
As a result, the defeated scene of this area appeared in the eyes of the four Li Yan. It was completely different from the streets and shops that the four imagined.
The four figures had already stopped at the entrance of the city gate. They did not move forward. When they saw this, their Divine Sense swept forward in an instant.
Then they were shocked to discover that the large tents scattered everywhere were actually divided by the road in the middle and spread to both sides.
Those tents were scattered to both sides, reaching the roots of the city walls far away on both sides, and continuing along this road, the tents disappeared after about three hundred miles.
Then there is a dense forest, and then there are mountains that stretch for about a hundred miles, and until there in the mountains, there are many buildings in several Divine Sense, they are hidden in the high mountains...
"This... is this a military camp?"
Soon, Fang Xianhu's somewhat confused voice came.
He looked at the seemingly endless tents of various sizes and flags in front of him, and felt as if he was in front of a huge military camp.
This is completely different from the city they imagined. Doesn't it mean that this is an ancient immortal city? How could such a scene happen?
"It should be a military camp. This city may have been a border guard city. This may have been the junction of two tribes or two forces. Just outside the city was an ancient battlefield where the two sides fought!"
This time, it was Li Yan who spoke, and several people couldn't help but look at him.
Except for Shuang Qingqing, those two people have always felt that Wang Yi is more like a mute. That is the most reasonable thing. If you ask him, he may not answer, let alone take the initiative to speak.
But what Wang Yi said now seems to be true. They are also very knowledgeable, but they are not as quick as this person.
Li Yan did react very quickly. As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, the scene he and Mu Guyue watched at Ghost-Severing City flashed in his mind. It was almost very similar to this place. It was a military camp when entering the city.
This made him think of the words "border guard city" for just a moment. His experience was actually richer than these people.
"According to what Fellow Daoist Wang said, since there are hostile forces, are there other immortal-cultivating cities in a certain direction of this city?"
Yin Kongjin seemed to be mumbling to himself, but no one answered his question.
But a few people also knew in their hearts that there was a high probability that such a situation would not happen, because there were no other immortal cities marked on the map.
This ancient city of cultivating immortals must have been too long ago, and how that map was circulated is impossible to study at all.
This place can be preserved because either a space was isolated for some reason, or a strong person used the big Divine Ability to move an area somewhere.
"But there are no bones here. These broken tents and some Dharma Treasure fragments seem to have gone through a big battle. Are they captured by the enemy and entered the city? Then we..."
Yin Kongjin glanced around. The bones of those who cultivated immortals were very tough. In a city of cultivating immortals like this, it stands to reason that not all the bones would be left.
So he was also filled with doubts. It looked more like someone had broken into this place and robbed all the valuables in the city, and then all the corpses were destroyed.
What he didn't finish speaking at the end already represented his biggest worry, that is, how many people worked so hard to get here, but the result might be nothing!
"We've already come here, so naturally we have to take a look before talking about it!"
Shuang Qingqing's eyes also glanced around. Usually the Dharma Treasure and Pill of the monks in the military camp were much stronger than the ordinary monks.
It's just that her Divine Sense hasn't found anything useful in this dilapidated military camp. She did see a lot of broken weapons, but the spiritual energy on them was already very weak.
Shuang Qingqing Although he said this, Yin Kongjin's worry was not unreasonable. It was just worry that it took such trouble to enter the city. No matter what, he had to search carefully.
"Fellow Daoists, let's go in and have a look!"
Fang Xianhu also feels that only after doing it can he draw the final conclusion. Since no danger has been found yet, why bother talking about such nonsense here.
They came here to hunt for treasures and immortality. Although there seemed to be nothing good here, it was just an empty military camp. Of course, it was impossible for a few people to fly past here and go straight to the core area in the mountains behind.
Some treasures themselves have a concealing effect, and you may only be able to sense them if you examine them from a very close distance.
And to put it a step back, if this camp is breached, some people may hide their important treasures at the last moment when they see no way to break through.
"Let's go!"
Shuang Qingqing immediately agreed, and several people no longer hesitated and walked towards the front.
However, they did not leave this dirt road for the time being. Instead, they moved forward slowly, Divine Sense scanning the surroundings carefully.
They were further confirming the danger here, especially inside the military camps on both sides of the dirt road, and they did not dare to pass easily.
In some dangerous places, it often seems like everything is calm, but potential dangers are already lurking beside you. If you don't go well, you will die immediately.
Therefore, these four people did not separate. Although they walked slowly, they soon walked a distance of twenty feet.
"You should be able to explore both sides!"
Yin Kongjin said as he walked, he found no problem in his Divine Sense, and there was no sense of danger, so he started to make suggestions.
But just when he finished speaking, several people felt an unpleasant feeling in their hearts almost at the same time.
Li Yan's words were still ringing in his ears, and he already agreed with the other party's suggestion. They could search the military camp here separately.
However, the scenery in front of him suddenly became blurry. Li Yan's body instantly froze in place. The spiritual shield on the body's surface shone brightly, and at the same time, the whole person was ready to go.
However, no attack came, but powerful aura waves emanated from his side. Li Yan sensed that it was the aura of Shuang Qingqing and the other three.
At this time, he could see clearly that he and the others were still standing in the middle of the dirt road, but the city gate behind them had become blurry.
At the same time, a looming pressure appeared in the sky, as if there was some kind of imprisonment, and the four people scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
"We have entered a certain formation, and there is also an air restriction!"
Shuang Qingqing's voice came from one side, and the protective aura on her body was equally dazzling.
"Double Daoist friends, can you tell what kind of formation this is? Should we go back now?"
Fang Xianhu had already spoken urgently. Before they understood the situation here, they all stood still, ready to respond to attacks that appeared here at any time, and did not dare to move at will.
"Some are like the 'Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Formation'. This formation is mainly used to defend against trapped enemies, especially its defense against trapped enemies is very powerful, and it also serves as a warning.
If the city here is a border garrison city according to what my junior brother said, then it is not surprising that such a formation appears here...
This military camp is guarded here, blocking the throat inside and outside, which is very consistent with the characteristics of a border garrison city.
This "Beacon Flame Array" can be firmly nailed here like a stubborn stone, and at the same time, it can also warn the core area behind.
The function of air confinement in this formation is to trap the enemy, preventing the enemy from quickly invading through here.
Their entrance to the formation was very clever, and was deliberately set at a distance forward, not too long, but not too short either.
Under such concealment, we moved forward without sensing danger, and we really fell into this formation.
There are usually only two exits in this formation, one is right behind us. This is actually the entrance, but it can also be reversed to break the ban, but usually such a ban is one-way, so it is extremely difficult to break.
The other one is on the other side of the military camp. Compared with the entrance, it is easier to break the ban, but I still say that the difficulty of breaking it is only in comparison.
The purpose of such an enemy-trapping formation is to lure the enemy in as much as possible, and then trap and kill them in the middle. Therefore, it is not easy to get out from any exit. "
Shuang Qingqing said quickly, but at this time the light on her body protective mask quickly dimmed, and at the same time she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the city gate opening.
There seemed to be a translucent membrane blocking it, and it was already very hazy, and then she continued.
"Not to mention the entrance at the back, can we still get out from there? There is no attack here now. The situation is just as I guessed, this formation is now functioning to trap the enemy.
After entering the formation, as long as it does not touch certain restrictions, it will not launch an attack, but in fact the warning has been successful, but no one here has been warned to attack us, and if we exit this formation now, it is useless to go deep into the city behind..."
At this point, she glanced at the three of them. Li Yan naturally said nothing, while Yin Kongjin's eyes flickered, as if he was guessing the meaning of Shuang Qingqing's words.
"Double Daoist friends, if you have something to say, just say it all at once. Why is it useless to withdraw?"
Fang Xianhu said dissatisfiedly, of course a person who can cultivate to his level is not stupid, but he doesn't like to guess.
"They only delayed the formation by a few dozen feet, but they still blocked all the ways to the back. Even if we retreated, we would not be able to fly over this area.
I estimate that this area of space is all within the forbidden air range of the formation, and it may even be because we want to force the flight over, thus triggering an attack from the formation below.
And the purpose of our coming here is, of course, to explore and hunt for treasures. The premise of everything is the word "danger", so since you will encounter danger no matter how you go, it's better to just rush forward like this! "
Shuang Qingqing didn't hold anything back this time, he just said everything at once.
And just as she finished speaking, the bodies of the other three people were instantly lifted into the air. Shuang Qingqing was not surprised by this.
She just felt that the formation she was in might be the "Beacon Fire Wolf Smoke Formation", so she would test it later. If it was as she guessed, then she would not waste her energy going back to break the formation.
Li Yan As soon as his body lifted into the air, there was still a vague pressure here. Suddenly, it was like a ferocious beast came to life. He immediately felt an invisible big hand above him, pressing hard towards his body!
Li Yan There was light flowing rapidly in his eyes, but in the next moment, his body was standing on the ground in just a flash, and the wind control technique had been removed at the same time.
"Although I can force myself to continue to take off, and even fly without any problem, the result of doing so... will not only consume mana rapidly, but also lead to stronger suppression. It is simply a move that outweighs the gain and loss!"
Just when Li Yan landed at the right time and his thoughts were whirling, Yin Kongjin and Fang Xianhu on the other side had already flown straight up to a height of more than ten feet.
But the expressions of the two people soon changed drastically. The two figures quickly fell to the ground. Suddenly there was a thunder in the air, and the blue sky seemed to suddenly turn into a deep blue-black...
