Ten days later, off the coast of Kowloon Island, five Jindans, Xu Wen, Wang Xihua, Zuo Mingyue, Hu Xiaoxing, and Kuang Hua, as well as more than 20 foundation builders, were observing Kowloon Island from a distance.
Ten days ago, Xu Wen and Wang Xihua reinforced Yuehe Island and killed all the ferocious beasts that besieged Yuehe Island, and the siege of Yuehe Island was quickly lifted.
I originally thought I could rest for a few days, but unexpectedly, I received a request for help from Kowloon Island.
Kowloon Island is guarded by a fourth-level magic circle, and there are dozens of Golden Core monks. Even if the Nascent Soul monks attack it personally, it will take a lot of effort.
Although there are many ferocious beasts besieging Kowloon Island, there are no Nascent Soul ferocious beasts.
Originally, they were able to defend easily, and could even occasionally break out of the formation to compete with the ferocious beasts.
But a few days ago, Kuang Bieping and others suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with the formation on Kowloon Island, and the ground veins seemed to have changed.
Large-scale formations are built on the earth's veins. They use the earth's veins to closely integrate with the environment, and they can also use the aura of the earth's veins to maintain the operation of the formation.
The changes in the earth's veins meant that the foundation of the island-protecting formation had changed. The power of the formation immediately began to decrease, and it was about to fall below the fourth level.
The panicked Kuang Bieping immediately asked Jinghong Island for help, and this was how Xu Wen and others took action.
Huxiaoxing has a rare treasure that can cover everyone's figure, so everyone waits not far from the ferocious beast.
They have already sent news to Kowloon Island and are waiting for people from Kowloon Island to come and help them enter the island.
An hour later, there was a flash of light nearby, and Kuang Bieping appeared with someone in tow.
Although it is besieged by ferocious beasts, Kowloon Island is the overlord of this area of the sea. Kowloon Island has been operated for thousands of years, and there are many secret passages to connect with the outside world.
Hu Xiaoxing opened the twilight tent and sent a spiritual thought to Kuang Bieping, who immediately led the man to the twilight tent.
After taking a closer look at the person behind him, Xu Wen always felt that he looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was actually Zhong He.
Back then, when Xu Wen first came to Jinghong Island, he encountered Zhonghe and the ship attacking Dacheng Island, and even had a conflict with them.
Unexpectedly, time has changed, and now the other party actually asks him to come here.
Seeing Xu Wen, Zhong He was also a little embarrassed and bowed low.
Although his surname is not Kuang, he is a direct member of the Kuang family and a descendant of Kuang Donghua's granddaughter, so he can be promoted to Jindan with the strong support of the Kuang family.
At that time, he presided over the elimination of external forces on Dacheng Island and killed many people on Dacheng Island. After Kuang Donghua died, he was afraid of being retaliated by Dacheng Island, so he hid in Kowloon Island and did not dare to show up.
This time Kowloon Island encountered a great danger and had no choice but to show up.
After briefly explaining the situation, Kuang Bieping took everyone under the sea and quietly sneaked back to Kowloon Island through an undersea tunnel.
Most of this tunnel is natural and should be the work of some kind of undersea worm, but there are also obvious artificial traces in some places.
Apparently it was artificially excavated by the Kuang family on the basis of the original worm passage.
Only a thousand-year-old cultivation family like the Kuang family has the energy and time to dig such an undersea passage.
As soon as he stepped into Kowloon Island, Xu Wen frowned slightly. What Kuang Bieping said was true. The power of Kowloon Island's formations was indeed constantly weakening.
It is now in the fourth and third levels, and may fall to the third level at any time.
Kowloon Island is the place where the Kuang family has been operating for thousands of years. The formations are exquisite and complete. Logically speaking, this should not happen. No wonder they suspect that the ground has been tampered with.
However, the ground veins of Kowloon Island are very stable, otherwise Kuang Tonghua would not choose to establish a foothold here. Unless there is a major earthquake, it is generally unlikely that any abnormalities will occur.
Moreover, if there is a change in the earth's veins, the movement will usually be huge, and the Kuang family has not detected such changes.
After arranging a resting place for Wang Xihua and others, Kuang Bieping and the four brothers of the Kuang family took Xu Wen, Zuo Mingyue, and Kuang Yuxiu to Mount Everest.
Mount Everest is the core area of Kowloon Island. Not only the fourth-order spiritual veins and fourth-order caves are here, but also the core of the formation is here.
After bypassing the cave that had been given to Nie Canghai, the surrounding security suddenly became much tighter, and guards could be seen from time to time.
When they arrived at a platform, there were two more golden elixirs leading sixteen late-stage Foundation Establishment disciples, holding formation flags to guard a passage.
With such tight protection, even if the Nascent Soul cultivator attacks, it can still withstand one or two attacks.
Xu Wen looked at it but secretly shook his head. The guarding formation was naturally what it should be.
But the formation itself is a weapon for guarding. There is no need for so many people, as long as one or two thoughtful people guard it.
If this place is really attacked, no matter how many guards there are, it will be in vain.
But this is the arrangement of the Kuang family. As an outsider, he will only judge in his heart, but will not say much.
Passing through the passage, several people came to a huge underground space.
The cave, heaven, earth and water are integrated into one, and the hall is engraved with stars and rivers, just like the sky.
Below, the water is rippling, with eight underground rivers meandering and converging into a small lake in the middle.
There is a small island in the center of the lake, and a giant bronze tripod stands on it.
The entire hall is filled with countless complex and sophisticated restrictions, extending from everywhere, in the sky, on the ground, under the water, and finally converge on the giant bronze cauldron.
The strong forbidden power of the formation filled every part of the space, and from time to time there were protective formation weapons looming in the space, exuding a heart-stopping aura.
This kind of place is the core of the core of Kowloon Island, and ordinary disciples are not qualified to enter.
If the formation hadn't encountered a big problem, the Kuang family would not have let Xu Wen enter anyway.
Even so, only Zuo Mingyue and Kuang Yuxiu, who was a disciple of the Kuang family, could accompany them. Wang Xihua and others were not invited.
Before his death, Kuang Donghua made an announcement that if something happened to Kowloon Island, he would ask Kuang Bieping and others to seek help from Xu Wen.
Kowloon Island really couldn't solve the problem on its own, so it had no choice but to invite Xu Wen.
Kuang Bieping took out an extremely beautifully carved token, with a slightly uneasy look on his face, but still handed it to Xu Wen and whispered:
"Brother Xu Dao, this is the main control token of my Three-Phase Seven-Jue Array on Kowloon Island. Please take a look!"
Looking at him like this, he seemed to be afraid that Xu Wen would take advantage of the opportunity to control the formation tokens and take away Kowloon Island in one fell swoop.
Not only Zuo Mingyue, but also Kuang Yuxiu on the side also shook his head secretly.
As an uncle, her qualifications are not bad, but her character is really lacking.
It was in line with Kuang Donghua's evaluation of him that he could forget his righteousness in the face of small profits and cherish his life in the face of big events. He was not a person who could safeguard his inheritance and strengthen his family.
As if he didn't see Kuang Bieping, Xu Wen took the token with a calm expression.
As soon as the magic power was activated, the bronze giant cauldron suddenly burst into glory, and the strong power of the formation spread slowly throughout the island along the restriction.
My mind follows the flow of spiritual power of the formation, and I examine every place carefully.
After a moment, Xu Wen's eyes narrowed, and when the spiritual power of the formation flowed through a certain node, it seemed a little scattered.
It wasn't completely broken, but a lot of power was lost.
If it were just a mechanical manipulation of the formation, it would be difficult to detect such subtle changes, but it could not be hidden from the perception of Xu Wen's third-order formation mage.
With a thought in his heart, he didn't say much and continued to drive the formation, and soon discovered another flaw.
He specializes in the art, and the formation master's understanding of the formation is far better than the average person. The Kuang family did not notice anything unusual after repeated attempts, but he could quickly find something wrong.
After some inspection, he found a total of eighteen strange places. The selection of these places was very clever, and they were basically at the hub where the spiritual power of the formation flowed.
There will be no obvious changes in a single place or two or three places, but so many of them combined will cause the power of the formation to continue to drain and the level of the formation to continue to decrease.
With so many problems still appearing at such a critical node, this cannot be the natural loss of the formation. It can only be caused by someone secretly sabotaging it.
Withdrawing his mana and returning the token to Kuang Bieping, who had been looking at him eagerly, Xu Wen said coldly:
"There is no problem with the earth veins. Someone has tampered with the formation. Either an enemy has sneaked into Kowloon Island, or there is a traitor in Kowloon Island!"
"This...this is impossible..."
Kuang Bieping retorted instinctively. Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, he quickly explained:
"I'm not questioning Brother Xu Dao's judgment, but... it's just that if the formation is broken and the ferocious beasts invade Kowloon Island, the people who secretly tampered with it will definitely not be able to escape."
"What kind of person would do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself?"
Xu Wen did not answer his question.
The other party may have other means of concealment, he is confident that he can avoid the beast tide, or he may have a blood feud with the Kuang family, and would rather break his body to pieces than drag the Kuang family into trouble.
There are many possibilities. As for the specific reasons, only the Kuang family can answer them.
With a wave of his hand, the formation map of Kowloon Island appeared in the air. At a point where the eighteen formation flaws were located, Xu Wen said in a deep voice:
"There are problems with the formations in these places. Send absolutely trustworthy people to monitor closely, and you will definitely find clues!"
Kuang Bieping didn't want to believe it, but Xu Wen marked the specific location. It couldn't be a joke, and he immediately arranged for the capable Kuang family to go there.
The arrival of Xu Wen and others was a top secret. Except for a very small number of Kuang family members, no one else knew about it.
That night, Xu Wen used the technique of traveling between two realms and came to the vicinity of Hefang Pavilion.
With a wave of his hand, the essence and blood of the Crane clan flew out, opened the door, and entered the small cave.
It had not been a few years, but the spiritual energy here was so strong that even Xu Wen couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
I came to the place where the seeds were planted and took a look. Although no one was taking care of it, thanks to the rich spiritual energy, the spiritual trees have grown into towering trees.
Ten years of trees is nothing more than this.
Pruning, turning soil, fertilizing... it was a lot of work, and it took several days to finish.
Neither spiritual trees nor spiritual fruits can be harvested in a short time, but once they grow, they can provide a steady stream of harvests.
It is for this reason that the value of Ling Zhifu becomes higher as it reaches later stages.
After doing this, Xu Wen began to practice in this cave.
The concentration of spiritual energy here is far higher than that in the outside world, which actually makes his cultivation speed reach a higher level.
Ten days later, the warning spell he left at his residence was activated, and someone came looking for him.
That matter must have come to an end. He immediately left the cave and headed for his residence.
