The dark night is silent.
The dark night is when the light of heaven is weak.
However, this dark night is also the time when the children of Jianghu are best at taking action.
There is an ancient cloud, it is a dark moonlit night, a time when people are killing people and stealing goods.
No matter what kind of world he is in, no matter how strong he is, he always solves many things for Dark Night. Therefore, although Dark Night basically has no impact on them in the world of cultivators, Dark Night still has such a status.
It was a dark and windy night when people were killing people and stealing goods.
And Yang Ning and his group are doing this kind of thing.
No, he should be preparing to do such a thing.
…
"Junior brother, what do you think is in the cave below?"
"Why does Master ask us to take some spiritual essence and throw it into the cave below every once in a while?"
"If I ate these spiritual essences, I would probably have reached the pinnacle of the mainland by now, right?"
"Master said, don't ask, we just do it."
The two voices echoed softly in the dark night, and the surrounding heat wave did not weaken in any way even though it was cold in the dark night.
But there is one characteristic, that is, the two of them did not release any cultivation after entering this area. It is not that they have no cultivation, but that they do not dare to do so.
I still remember my master. He used to have four disciples, but the characters of those two were no better than these two. Until many years ago, after feeding the spirit essence once, they never came back.
The two of them even asked their masters, and their masters said at that time, don't ask.
From then on, the task of feeding the spirit essence was handed over to the two of them, and there would be such a task every three to five days.
And it is precisely because of such a task that the two of them, who were originally not outstanding in qualifications, have reached the level of immortality in these years.
Tonight is already the last night of the fifth day. Because the master brought the spirit essence relatively late, the two of them can only continue the tasks they have been doing for more than ten years in the dark.
"Junior brother, you said that if I deduct a little of this spiritual essence and take it myself, maybe I can break through the barrier between immortals and mortals and become a high-level cultivator in the mountaineering realm?"
"I don't want to die yet!" That junior brother was obviously an honest person, but the same words were pitiful.
"Junior brother, you are really boring, that's what I said. After all, I remember those two senior brothers vividly."
"It's gone just like that..."
As the two of them talked, they came all the way to the cave. They did not dare to approach the cave, because as the senior brother said before, the disappearance of the two senior brothers deeply buried the root of fear in their hearts.
The two took out the spiritual essence and were about to throw it into the cave.
However, his mouth was suddenly held down by two black shadows, and then a cold light suddenly appeared, and then after two low whimperings, he lost his life.
And these two black figures are Yang Ning and Yang Zhen.
"I didn't expect that Bifang, with such a high status in Tiandao Sect, would need an elder to serve it."
As Yang Ning and Yang Zhen dealt with the two of them, hundreds of people suddenly jumped out from the dark night, almost all of them were the top experts in the mainland.
However, Yang Ning has already stated in advance that no spiritual energy fluctuations must be released here. Perhaps it is because this is the hinterland of Tiandao Sect, or perhaps the unity of these people is strong enough, but in short, no one has exposed the slightest aura of themselves.
"Remember, be silent and pass through this area." Yang Ning whispered, not daring to transmit messages here.
Everyone nodded and continued deeper into the mountain.
Looking at everyone moving forward, Yang Zhen became curious and said, "Yang Ning, do you think Bifang really fell asleep?"
Yang Zhen actually wanted to see the legendary fire-type holy beast, but he was quickly pulled back by Yang Ning and said: "Don't cause trouble."
Soon, the area that had been bustling with people just now fell into silence again.
Although the group could not use their cultivation, they were already among the top cultivators in the mainland. Soon at the fourth watch, a group of a hundred people stood where Yang Ning and Zhu Yan stood a month ago.
Looking across the mountain stream, deep in the white clouds, you can vaguely see the golden top of Tiandao Sect.
"I saw the Golden Dome again, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Yang Zhen said, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"No, we still need to go deep into the mountain stream to find the base of Tiandao Sect's mountain-protecting formation." Yang Ning didn't understand why Split Sky wanted to hand Yang Zhen over to him. With Yang Zhen's character, most importantly It is suitable for killing enemies head-on, and it is also a rare combat power for Tiandao Sect in bloody battles. Why do you want to bring it with you and then do such a sneaky thing?
This is not Yang Zhen’s character...
But Yang Zhen has one good thing, that is, although he is one year older than Yang Ning, he is sincerely convinced of Yang Ning because of the brotherhood of being with each other all the way.
It is precisely because of this that Split Sky lets Yang Zhen follow Yang Ning. Otherwise, given Yang Zhen's character, he may not be able to lead him. If he becomes addicted, he will go deep alone. By then, But the consequences are really unpredictable.
"Okay." Yang Zhen curled his lips helplessly.
With the group of people deliberately hiding their auras, they soon arrived at the depths of the mountain stream. The jungle here was dense, and even from the ground, there were countless dead leaves. In some places, it even became a sea of dead leaves, so deep. I don’t know.
"This..." Yang Zhen sighed.
Yang Ning naturally understood what Yang Zhen meant. The mountain stream was covered with dead leaves, and even some places were impossible to explore because of the uneven ground.
"Brother Ning." Huan Ling is a rare sight. He is also dressed in black and outlines his exquisite curves. He has a unique flavor under the dark night.
"Ling'er, what's wrong?" Yang Ning asked.
"I can feel the scene under the dead leaves." Huan Ling said.
Yang Ning was surprised and hurriedly released a trace of mental power, but he did not feel any fluctuations in mental power from Huan Ling.
"Ling'er, how did you..."
"Brother Ning, after I reached consciousness, during this period of time, I was thinking about using my consciousness to form telekinesis, and then I could explore the surroundings." Huan Ling explained.
Yang Ning instantly understood that as long as there were no fluctuations in mental power, the group of them could become completely invisible in this deep ravine-like mountain stream. In addition, if Huan Ling could clearly detect the underground scene, then this trip would be That's half the battle.
"Ling'er, try it first. How far can your telekinesis detection range reach?" Yang Ning asked.
"Yeah." Huan Ling closed his eyes, and then the scene under the surrounding dead leaves gradually became clear in Huan Ling's conscious space.
Soon, Huan Ling opened his eyes.
"It goes about ten feet underground. If you look parallel, it can reach a hundred feet." Huan Ling quickly gave the answer.
"Okay." Yang Ning smiled slightly and said: "Ling'er, you lead the way, but be careful. If you find anything, let me know immediately." Although this is deep in the mountain stream, no one can guarantee that if the Tiandao Sect The sect-protecting formation is guarded by strong men, which will undoubtedly push Huan Ling into a dangerous situation.
"I will be careful." Huan Ling started to move forward from the mountain stream as he moved forward.
"Everyone, follow the footsteps and don't make mistakes." Yang Ning ordered, and soon a team of one hundred people formed a dragon from the mountain stream, and then sneaked in the mountain stream.
Soon, Huan Ling's footsteps stopped.
Yang Ning asked hurriedly: "Did you find anything?"
"There should be a pestle below." Huan Ling said.
Yang Ning called to the strong man behind him and quickly found the ground of the mountain stream among the dead leaves.
A crystal pestle, like a medicine pestle, engraved with formation patterns, was exposed one foot deep into the ground.
Yang Ning stared at the formation pestle and exclaimed: "It is indeed the Tiandao Sect's sect-protecting formation. Not only is the formation pattern complex and majestic, but it also seems to be a combined formation. The most special thing is that there is nothing under the formation pestle here." The support of the divine crystal.”
Yang Ning asked Huan Ling to sense it carefully, but within a radius of nearly ten feet, no fluctuations in spiritual power were found.
"No, the formation pestle is the key to carving the formation patterns in the formation. Of course, it is also the place where spiritual power is transmitted to the formation through the formation pestle. However, there are no divine crystals found around." Yang Ning looked at the formation that had been pulled out from the ground. The formation pestle was very puzzled.
"Brother Ning, let's explore a few more places and try again," Huan Ling said.
"good."
The group of people soon moved forward from the mountain stream again.
Soon, the second formation pestle...
The third formation pestle...
There were nearly ten formation pestles in a row, but nothing was found.
"No, absolutely wrong." Yang Ning is certain. Although he still doesn't know the layout of this formation, there is one thing Yang Ning can be sure of, that is, there are more complex formations among the combination formations here. method, and then through this formation, the divine crystals under each formation are hidden or moved away.
Yang Ning looked at Huan Ling and said, "Ling'er, try it and see if you can detect something deeper underground?"
"I'll try." Huan Ling concentrated his mind, and his consciousness spread all over Huan Ling, forming a terrifying power of thought, and then seeped into the ground little by little.
Soon, Huan Ling's figure began to tremble, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.
"Ling'er, don't force..."
At this moment, Huan Ling suddenly spoke.
"Brother Ning, something...has been discovered."
"Ling'er, stop quickly." Yang Ning knew that although Huan Ling's consciousness was perfect, exploring so deeply underground would consume Huan Ling's consciousness very horribly, otherwise Huan Ling wouldn't behave like this.
Yang Ning hurriedly helped Huan Ling and secretly used Ling Tian Jue to help Huan Ling recover.
Soon, Huan Ling spoke.
"Brother Ning, about fifty feet deep underground, I discovered the fluctuation of spiritual power." Huan Ling said.
"Fifty feet?" Yang Ning was surprised, but when he heard Huan Ling said there were fluctuations in spiritual power, he instantly understood.
"It's the Zhoutian Circulation Formation." Because only this kind of formation can continuously gather spiritual energy, extract spiritual energy from the deep veins of Tiandao Mountain, and then conceal it to supply Tiandao Sect's sect-protecting formation. .
"Go deep into the ground." Yang Ning gave the order, and hundreds of strong men took out their weapons and began to dig in the dark night.
With the speed of a hundred people, coupled with the fact that they were all strong men with astonishing physiques, they soon reached the ground which was close to fifty feet.
Yang Ning asked Huan Ling to confirm it. Sure enough, as Yang Ning guessed, there was a very huge cyclone below, and from the cyclone, the earth veins deep in the Tiandao Sect were continuously drawn, and then provided spiritual power for the sect-protecting formation.
"The Zhoutian Circulation Formation." Yang Ning has confirmed, but it is also very difficult to destroy such an formation.
Every week begins, and the cycle continues.
In other words, as long as one corner is destroyed, the damaged areas will be quickly repaired in other places, and then the cycle will begin again.
Yang Ning was helpless. If he had the Spiritual Formation Pearl in hand, such a formation would naturally not be a problem for him. However, he had already returned the Spiritual Formation Pearl, and he felt quite helpless at the moment.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from among the strong men behind Yang Ning.
"Maybe, I can try."
Yang Ning suddenly remembered that this person was asked by Split Sky to take him with him. He was said to be a strange person from the Demon Sect. His cultivation level was not very high and he was only at the eighth level of Mountaineering Realm.
Soon, this person came to the front of the tunnel where everyone was digging, and then began to observe the operation of the formation from the depths of the ground.
"It is indeed the Zhoutian Circulation Formation." Lu Changli said.
"Senior Lu, do you have a way to break the formation?" Yang Ning asked.
"It is extremely difficult to break the Zhoutian Circulation Formation." Lu Changli shook his head.
"But we can weaken it." Lu Changli continued.
"Weakened?" Yang Ning asked subconsciously.
"Yes." Lu Changli said confidently.
