The light turned from dark to bright, and as Mu Jingyu got closer to the exit, the light became more dazzling. When Chi You was only one step away from the exit, the light was even more dazzling than when Chi You destroyed his Dantian just now.
"What...is going on!" Worried that something might happen to the stone statue, Mu Jingyu could only cover his eyes in a hurry, and he had already rushed out of the cave entrance.
Through the gap between his fingertips, Mu Jingyu saw that the entire stone statue was bathed in a ball of bright light. The spiritual energy and blood that originally led to the interior of the temple were cut off by the stone statue here and all merged into it.
Looking up from the feet of the stone statues, I saw that Ling Zhongtian, Wuming Shitai, Shangguan Xixi and others located in two of the stone chambers did not escape from the trap because Chi You destroyed the formation. Instead, his face showed a look of pain, and the spiritual energy around him surged uncontrollably towards the heavenly material and earthly treasure in the middle.
Not only them, but also the other priests of the Jiuli tribe had similar expressions. Apparently, after Chi You destroyed the formation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth did not continue to flow into the temple as he expected. But for some unknown reason, it was intercepted by the stone statue.
"Master Wuming, Master Shangguan Palace, Master Ling Pavilion, how are you?" Mu Jingyu didn't have time to think about it. He stretched out his body and wanted to help them escape with the Nine-Yao Xuanguang Chain in his hand.
But Mu Jingyu obviously overestimated himself and underestimated the aura of heaven and earth in the stone statue. Before he even got close to the ten-foot range, he was knocked backwards by the sudden surge of spiritual energy.
"Don't... come here!" Master Wu Ming, who was in danger, couldn't care less about the grudge between him and Mu Jingyu. He forcibly raised his breath and stopped Mu Jingyu from attacking again.
"Come on... meet... quickly... go quickly..." Shangguan Xixi followed.
"Up above?" Mu Jingyu instantly understood what she meant. Since the stone statue intercepted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for some unknown reason, as long as he could enter the dantian or the spiritual platform and use the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain to absorb them all, he should be able to self-destruct.
"I understand." Mu Jingyu stretched out his figure, rose into the air from the ground, and flew towards the Dantian, which was dozens of feet high.
"No...it's not...let you...hey..." Ling Zhongtian's cultivation level was obviously not as good as that of Master Wuming and Shangguan Xixi. Although he managed to say a few words, his voice was too low and did not shock Mu. Yu heard.
"Master, are you okay?" In the blink of an eye, Mu Jingyu had risen to the Dantian of the stone statue and found that Master Tianyang, Master Puti, Master Wuji, Ruomengxing and others were also like Master Wuming. The three of them were like this, with spiritual energy flowing out of their bodies uncontrollably.
It's just that in this stone room, the Jiuyao Xuanguang chain on his wrist should have been placed on the altar, because it was still in his hand, so of course it was empty.
But it was precisely because of this that Mu Jingyu could clearly see the details inside. After the spiritual energy that had been sucked away from the body gathered into a ball in the middle, it not only did not flow downward, but instead surged towards the spiritual platform above the stone statue.
"This... this... what on earth is going on!" This time, it was completely beyond Mu Jingyu's knowledge. Since the formation has been broken and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been intercepted by the stone statue, shouldn't it all be gathered at the Dantian? Why do we go in the opposite direction and flow back to the spiritual platform?
Could it be that...could it be said that this stone statue developed spiritual consciousness after several years, nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Taking advantage of the destruction of the great formation, he could absorb all the aura of heaven and earth into his own body in order to regain his life?
"No, I want to go up there and have a look!" After making up his mind, Mu Jingyu didn't have time to wait for Master Tianyang's reply, and continued to move his body, wanting to find out what was going on at the spiritual platform.
"Jingyu... come back quickly..." Master Tianyang quickly reminded Mu Jingyu, panting heavily because of the lack of spiritual energy in his body. It was obvious that just a few words had left him mentally exhausted.
"Why is this?" Mu Jingyu stopped and asked in confusion.
"Because, Han Yao suddenly appeared, and while you were destroying Chi You's body, he forcibly occupied the stone statue platform and sucked all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body."
At this moment, Yi Hong, who had been sent outside by Mu Jingyu before, appeared from nowhere and approached Mu Jingyu and said.
"Senior Brother Yi, where were you just now? Also, why did Han Yao suddenly appear, and how could he absorb this powerful spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spiritual platform in the stone statue?"
"Hey, it's a long story." Yi Hong sighed and said: "I didn't expect that Han Yao had already figured out my identity, deliberately concealed it, and let me guard the most important valley. The purpose, naturally, is to lend my hand to help you sneak into the temple."
"Didn't Han Yao submit to the high priest? Why did he do this? Could it be that... he wanted to use you to trick me into the temple, and then hide an ambush so that he could catch me while Chi You was fighting with the magic axe? , asking for credit in front of the high priest?"
After Mu Jingyu finished speaking, he looked around cautiously, guarding against possible ambush.
"No, no." Yi Hong waved his hands and said: "Han Yao seems to have surrendered to the Jiuli tribe, but in fact he has his own plans. His real purpose is the aura of heaven and earth in the stone statue! In the design, he deceived you and brought everyone together. After the priests, Bei Pluto and others deceived them, they wanted to occupy these heaven and earth spiritual energy alone."
"Not only can his cultivation greatly increase in a short period of time, but he can even break through to the realm of divine knowledge! It can also help him get rid of his senior brother and more than a thousand members of the Righteous Dao disciples and Jiuli tribe in the ferocious beast formation."
"Han Yao, I really underestimated you!" Mu Jingyu's teeth itched with hatred. Unexpectedly, Han Yao, who had been hiding in the dark and seemed transparent, would lay out a series of plots and include everyone in it.
"Senior Brother Yi, since Han Yao is already here, why didn't he take action to arrest you?" Mu Jingyu suddenly thought that Yi Hong had retreated outside early. Since he saw Han Yao and knew all his plans, he should Already had an interview. But he was still safe and sound, why didn't Mu Jingyu become suspicious?
"Hey, speaking of which, I am lucky." Yi Hong explained: "After I entered here, I found that there was nothing going on in the temple. Thinking that I had nothing to do, I found a remote place to stay, waiting for you. Action on the side.”
"Not long after, I suddenly found Han Yao and Zhao Zhengming entering from the top of the stone statue. As they walked, he told all his plans. In order to avoid being discovered by him, I quietly hid in a place not far away. In the crevices of the rocks. Fortunately, Han Yaozheng was talking proudly and thought that I was also in the temple and did not search nearby, so I escaped. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, how would I have dared to come forward rashly? Junior Brother Mu, you won't blame me When I encounter difficulties, I just have to worry about my own survival."
At the end of the sentence, Yi Hong looked remorseful.
"How could it be possible? Senior brother Yi, your cultivation is not enough. If you show up rashly, you will only lose your life. Junior brother, how can I blame you?" After listening to Yi Hong's explanation, Mu Jingyu's doubts about him disappeared.
"Mu Jingyu, what do you want to do now? If Han Yao continues to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he will break through to the innate realm sooner or later. By then, not only will it become a serious problem, but you won't be able to kill him easily. Maybe, He will also kill him." Yi Hong said worriedly.
"It's really tricky." Mu Jingyu turned around in circles, but there was nothing he could do. This stone statue and the ferocious beast formation outside were set up by the high priest using his clan's secret method. He had no ability to think of a way to crack it in a short time.
"Oh, by the way, what's going on inside the temple? Has Chi You's body been destroyed by you?" Yi Hong asked.
"Absolutely." Mu Jingyu estimated that based on Chi You's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the remaining spiritual consciousness of the demon axe. Complete surrender is just a matter of time.
However, Yi Hong's words also reminded him. Since you don’t know what to do, you might as well ask Chi You. As the divine master of the Jiuli tribe, he might have a way. Besides, the real high priest is still in his spiritual altar. Even if Chi You can't do anything, he should have something.
"Senior Brother Yi, you stay here first and I will come as soon as I go to the temple. If you are discovered by Han Yao, don't conflict with him and find a way to return to the temple. I will have my own way to protect you. "
After Mu Jingyu finished his instructions, he was about to return to the temple when Yi Hong grabbed him and said, "Junior brother Mu, the situation here is critical. If you don't deal with Han Yao's matter first, why did you return to the temple? Could it be that there is someone there? Is there a way to crack it?"
It seemed that if Yihong didn't make it clear, he wouldn't let her leave with peace of mind. Anyway, Chi You has regained his physical body, and everyone will know about it sooner or later, and Mu Jingyu is not going to hide it from Yi Hong.
After briefly recounting what happened, he comforted: "Brother Yi, don't worry. As long as I explain the situation to Chi You and the high priest, they will definitely be able to stop Han Yao."
But after Mu Jingyu finished his explanation, he found that Yi Hong's eyes were straight and staring at him in concentration, thinking that he had not fully digested the situation after hearing it suddenly.
"Senior Brother Yi? Senior Brother Yi? Did you hear what I said?" Mu Jingyu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his face a few times, finally bringing him back to his senses.
"Oh? Oh, I'm listening, I'm listening." Yi Hong's little eyes rolled a few times unconsciously, and then fixed on Mu Jingyu's face: "Junior brother Mu, since Chi You hasn't completely captured the Demon Ax Spirit yet. The spiritual consciousness that remains in the stone statue, let’s not disturb him.”
Mu Jingyu said in confusion: "Brother Yi, neither you nor I can stop Han Yao now. There is no other way except asking Chi You and the high priest for help. Don't worry, I believe that Chi You's ability should be almost surrendered at this moment. The magic ax has spiritual knowledge.”
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me." Yi Hong waved his hands repeatedly: "I suddenly thought, since Chi You said that you can use the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, why not try his method?"
"What do you mean..." Mu Jingyu lowered his head and looked at the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain and asked doubtfully.
"Junior Brother Mu, your cultivation level is not low. It should be clear that the most important places in our body are the Lingtai and Dantian. Since Han Yao has occupied the Lingtai, why don't you occupy the Dantian? With the Jiuyao in your hand With the ability of the Xuanguang Chain, are you afraid that you can't snatch the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from his hands? When the time comes, it will not only ruin Han Yao's good deeds, but also take the opportunity to suck away all the true energy in his body. By then, he Han Yao Yao is a useless person. He can be killed or scraped, and of course it is at your disposal."
"Good idea, why didn't I think of it!" Mu Jingyu slapped his forehead and secretly said that Yi Hong's idea was indeed good.
"Senior Brother Yi, help me stay outside. I will go to the Dantian and compete with Han Yao for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." He did what he said. Mu Jingyu did not dare to delay for a moment. He stretched his left hand flat to his chest, and in the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain The spiritual energy was spurred out.
"Master, Master Puti, Master Wuji, Ruoxunhuashi, please make some room for me, and I will go in personally." Mu Jingyu knew that if he used the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain to forcefully break through the spiritual energy wrapped outside, It will definitely pose a threat to several people, so I still need to warn you before taking action.
Strangely enough, the three people who were still able to speak forcefully just now seemed to have been silenced. Apart from blinking their eyes constantly to remind Mu Jingyu not to do so, they could not even speak.
Mu Jingyu thought that the three of them were worried about their own safety: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Before he finished speaking, the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain had already touched the spiritual energy on the outer layer of the stone statue. The spiritual energy that originally surged upwards flowed back the moment Mu Jingyu came into contact, in an attempt to prevent Mu Jingyu from entering.
But the spiritual energy in the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain was not weak at all. After a stalemate for several breaths, Mu Jingyu had already forced his way into the stone chamber.
Seeing this scene, the four people in Tianyang became even more anxious. Nai He couldn't speak, so he could only scream in the direction of Yi Hong outside the stone statue.
Mu Jingyu finally noticed something was wrong from the expressions of the three people. Turning around and looking outside, he found that Yi Hong had changed from his usual humility and was sneering with a fierce look in his eyes.
Some people died, but not completely...
