Early the next morning, Shi Jiu and his party set out from the inn to the formation twenty miles away.
It didn't take long for the group of people to arrive outside the formation. At this time, many disciples from the two alliances, the Ghost Fire Sect and the Peerless Palace, had clearly surrounded the formation, with each side occupying half.
"Who are you? This is the forbidden area of my Jueshi Palace. Leave quickly!" A group of patrolling Jueshi Palace disciples responsible for peripheral security spotted Shi Jiu and others and immediately scolded them.
Mr. Ming Jing and Dong Tianling looked at each other and smiled, then flew directly into the air out of thin air, and then flew in the direction of the formation. At the same time, Shi Jiu and the others were not idle. They took out the flying wings, activated them and immediately flew into the air. Following closely behind the two people in front, only the Jueshi Palace disciples were left standing there with a look of astonishment on their faces.
"Senior brother, these people..." One of the youngest disciples in the patrol team of Jueshi Palace asked the leading senior brother in horror.
Although he is the youngest, he knows a lot. He knows that people who can fly out of thin air are at least strong in the Tianchong realm. Even if such a person is not the leader of a sect, he is definitely the core elder of each sect, regardless of identity or status. It's not something ordinary disciples like them can stop.
"Keep your voice down, do you want to kill us?" The leading Jueshi Palace disciple did not answer immediately, but waited until Shi Jiu and the others had completely flown away from here before reprimanding with some fear: "Can't you see? These people are either the leaders of a faction or elders, and we cannot stop them at all! Fortunately, they have no ill intentions, otherwise we would be in trouble!"
After the scolding, the leading Jueshi Palace disciple was thankful for his quick response. In fact, when Mr. Ming Jing and Dong Tianling soared into the sky, he realized something was wrong, and immediately shut his mouth at the right time, allowing the people in front to move, without daring to make any move or even stop them.
"Brother, should we report to the elders immediately?" the young disciple then asked.
"No need, those people are clearly heading towards the formation. Even if we don't need to report back, the elders will notice them." The leading senior brother replied: "The news of the formation should have spread to the surrounding people by now. In this county, people from all powerful sects will come, and our task is to stop those idle people who are not strong enough. As for the experts, let the elders have a headache. Okay, let's continue patrolling, and everyone else Your eyes are shining brightly for me, don’t make the same mistake just now, otherwise we won’t be able to live without it!”
"Yes, senior brother." The junior brothers behind him nodded.
Five minutes later, after Mr. Ming Jing and others flew leisurely, the formation appeared in front of everyone.
In fact, when a few people were still more than ten miles away from the formation, they noticed the existence of the formation. The blood-red flames reflected the sky around the formation. It was not until they got closer that they discovered the existence of the formation. Be different.
Shi Jiu and the five others were suspended in the sky outside the formation, and could clearly see the entire formation.
The entire formation is circular, with a diameter of at least five or six miles, occupying the entire mountainous area below, and within its circular range there is a huge seven-pointed star pattern, connecting the surrounding boundaries and emitting a monstrous red light. The sky above and around him turned blood red.
At this time, Shi Jiu frowned in mid-air. In the monstrous red light, he felt an extremely cruel evil spirit. With the reflection of the red light, this evil spirit manifested from time to time in the air into various sunset remnants. scene. Among them, there were unknown ghostly creatures fighting, thousands of troops and horses charging into the torrent of steel, landslides and ground cracks happening, and even a stunning woman smiling seductively at them.
"Brother Dong, it seems that our previous guess was correct. This should be a sealed ancient battlefield. This overwhelming red light and evil spirit should seep out from the ancient battlefield below the formation." Mr. Mingjing looked down. Da Zhen said with a solemn expression.
"Well, that's probably the case, and this seven-pointed star pattern should be the manifestation of the formation." Dong Tianling on the side nodded, but his expression was extremely solemn.
There is no doubt that it is extremely dangerous here.
Being able to use such a large formation to seal this ancient battlefield, it goes without saying that we know how dangerous it is, but it also indicates that there may be some treasures and techniques from ancient times buried here. If you can really get one or two from it, you will definitely be able to It shocked several surrounding counties and even strengthened his own sect.
"It's just that I have never heard of this seven-pointed star formation, let alone seen it. Is it also a formation that disappeared in ancient times?" At this time, Mr. Ming Jing said doubtfully.
He has been observing the formation since he saw it. As the person in charge of Fengbaozhai in Lanming City, he has extremely rich experience. Although he is not good at formations, he is familiar with some famous figures from ancient times. He still knew something about the formation, but he had never heard of the large formation in front of him.
"Well, I haven't heard of this seven-pointed star formation, but judging from its layout, it should be a seal type." Dong Tianling also felt the same way.
At this time, Mr. Ming Jing flew to Shi Jiu's side, "What do you think of this formation?"
"Um?"
Shi Jiu was stunned at first. He didn't expect Mr. Ming Jing to ask himself. Then he thought for a moment and said: "My opinion is the same as that of Captain Dong. It should be a sealing formation. But what makes me curious is that there is still no discovery after observing it. The location of the formation’s eye is inconsistent with common sense.”
"Oh? So you mean there is something wrong with this formation?" Mr. Ming Jing asked after hearing what Shi Jiu said.
"It's hard to say. After all, we have never heard of this great formation. My cultivation level is still shallow, and I have just started in the formation lineage. I still don't understand many things, especially this kind of ancient formation." Shi Jiu said a little After thinking about it, he replied.
"In this case, then you stay here and continue to observe the formation. I will ask Elder Hangshan to protect you. At the same time, you must pay attention to the changes in the formation at any time and notify us immediately if there is any change." Mr. Ming Jing nodded, and then faced Shi Jiu and Elder Hangshan ordered.
After hearing Mr. Ming Jing's instructions, Elder Hangshan approached Shi Jiu.
Long before coming here, Elder Hangshan knew that the mission of this trip was to protect Shi Jiu's safety, because he is the person with the highest cultivation level in Fengbaozhai except Mr. Mingjing, and his own strength has reached the late stage of Linghui Realm. , it is only one step away from the seventh level of Soul Mirror.
At this moment, several figures flew from the other side of the formation, and then stopped ten meters away from Shi Jiu and others.
"Mr. Ming Jing, Captain Dong, I didn't expect you to come here to join in the fun." The speaker was an old man with golden beard and hair, and he was also the leader of those people.
Although the other party's tone was a little cold and there was a bit of unwelcome look on his face, Mr. Mingjing didn't seem to notice it and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is the elder of Peerless Palace. I, Feng Baozhai, am just curious about this ancient place." It’s a battlefield, so come and take a look.”
"Haha, Mr. Ming is right. This ancient battlefield does not belong to your Peerless Palace. Naturally, everyone can come and take a look." Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the other direction of the formation, and in the blink of an eye, several figures appeared Appeared not far from everyone.
"Mr. Ming, Captain Dong, do you know if what I said is right?" The owner who just burst out laughing said politely to Mr. Ming Jing standing beside him.
"It turns out to be Sect Leader Li. We haven't seen each other for nearly two months since the Tonglin City auction. Oh, by the way, I heard that you have been promoted to the Soul Realm. Congratulations!" The person who came was none other than Li Qiushan, the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect. I am polite, and Mr. Mingjing is equally polite to me.
"Haha, Sect Leader Li is right. This ancient battlefield does not belong to any family present, everyone has a share!" Dong Tianling on the side also laughed.
Hearing the mutual compliments between the Ghost Fire Sect and Fengbaozhai, the expressions of several people from the Jueshi Palace on the other side suddenly darkened, but soon the blond old man from the Jueshi Palace who was leading the group changed his expression to a normal one, and then said: "I am again I didn’t say that this ancient battlefield belongs to my Peerless Palace, so Mr. Ming Jing can naturally come, but I would like to advise Mr. Ming Jing not to get so close to the people of the Ghost Fire Sect, or be careful of being tripped up by them secretly."
The blond old man is the supreme elder of the Peerless Palace, and he is also a strong soul. Although he is somewhat dissatisfied with the arrival of Mr. Mingjing and others, he does not dare to offend them openly. He is well aware of the horror of Fengbaozhai's background. It is simply not something that his peerless palace can compete with. At this moment, seeing the other party and the people from the Ghost Fire Sect getting closer to each other, their attitudes immediately changed.
"Elder Chang, this statement is surprising! When did our Guihuo Sect use tripping tricks on people? It was your Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace who secretly attacked our Ghost Fire Sect. This kind of behavior is much worse than using tripping tricks!" Another comment The leader of the Will-O-Wisp Sect sneered.
"Hmph! Did you forget so quickly about the team you led to sneak attack on my Jueshi Palace in Tonglin City?" The blond old man immediately retaliates.
"Chang Lao, why are you still so upset? Didn't you lose nothing that time?" The leader of the Ghost Fire Sect said with a smile.
"You..." The blond old man wanted to fight back when the master of the Will-O-Wisp Sect said this.
"Grow old and calm down, please listen to me. Now all of us are here to explore the ancient battlefield below the formation. We should focus on cracking the formation instead of scolding each other here. If you really want to How about continuing or even taking action? How about waiting until everyone has finished exploring the ancient battlefield?" Mr. Ming Jing took a step forward and spoke out to persuade.
"Mr. Ming Jing is right, and I, the Ghost Fire Sect, agree! The grudges can be settled after exploring the ancient battlefield. What do you think, growing up?" The leader of the Ghost Fire Sect immediately expressed his stance, and at the same time asked meaningfully to the blond old man of the other half.
"Mr. Ming Jing has said so, and I, Peerless Palace, naturally have no objection." The blond old man also knew that now is not the time to resolve grievances. The most important thing at the moment is to break through the formation and enter the ancient battlefield below. Everything else can be put aside.
"That's good. Since everyone agrees, our first task is to break the formation." Seeing that the Supreme Elder of Jueshi Palace also agreed to his proposal, Mr. Ming Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the ghost fire sect master and the blond old man. : "We have just arrived here and don't know much about this formation. I wonder if you have thought of a way?"
"To be honest with Mr. Ming Jing, although our Ghost Fire Sect has been observing the formation for several days, we still have not been able to find a way to break it. Moreover, we have tried sending people into the formation, but in a short time, it was defeated by the formation. The fire that rushed out of the body burned out instantly, and I never dared to try it again." After Mr. Ming Jing asked, the leader of the Will-O-Wisp Sect immediately replied that he had nothing to hide, because he knew that now was not the time to hide anything. If he could not enter the formation, he would Everything is meaningless.
"We are similar. The people sent in were killed by the sudden bursts of red light within a few seconds." The Supreme Elder of Jueshi Palace on the other side said the same thing.
Mr. Ming Jing couldn't help but frowned after hearing what people from the Ghost Fire Sect and Jueshi Palace said.
"Mr. Mingjing, I wonder if your Fengbaozhai has brought the formation master here?" The leader of the Ghost Fire Sect suddenly asked.
After hearing this, Mr. Mirror shook his head.
"We, Fengbaozhai, do have a formation master, but in the headquarters of Yongyan Mansion, I don't have one here."
"Then what should we do? Just wait here?" At this time, a sturdy man behind the blond old man couldn't help complaining.
"Haha, Brother Lan, there is no need to be angry. Everyone is thinking of a way. If it doesn't work, we can only gather the strength of everyone present to forcefully open the formation." Dong Tianling, who had always frowned and said with a smile.
"Tian Guang, calm down!" The blond old man scolded the big man behind him.
"Yes, elder." Being scolded by the blond old man, the big man lowered his head.
"Let's do this. All of us will continue to observe and search for a way to break the formation. If we still can't find it after an hour, then we will do what Captain Dong said and gather everyone's strength to forcefully break the formation." After a while. Finally, Mr. Mirror finally suggested.
After everyone pondered for a moment, they all nodded in agreement, and then everyone dispersed around the formation, each observing and thinking about ways to break the formation.
