"Valley Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xing Fei walked in the front and turned to look at Huaifenghua.
"It's nothing, just keep moving forward."
Huaifenghua was holding on to the wall with one hand and covering her chest with the other. The panic on her face had not completely faded away. Just now, she felt a huge energy flowing from her feet towards the distance. She couldn't help but think of what happened earlier. At that time, the record on the stone tablet next to the White Tower.
As the original site of the former Suzaku City, there is a dormant underground flame vein underneath the Suzaku Inner City. The experts who built this city used a large formation to suppress it, which was called You Yan.
This is even one of the reasons why Youyan State was named.
Huaifenghua looked at the passage ahead and took the initiative to walk to the front. When passing the two people, she turned her head and asked, "I heard that there is a large formation under the city lord's palace. How powerful is it?"
Xing Fei glanced at Ge Shan and saw that he was silent. He didn't think too much and said in a deep voice: "The name of the formation is You Yan. It is said to be the top grade of the earth."
"High-grade earth-level formation?" Huaifenghua was surprised. The spirit mist formation in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley is just a large-scale formation for the middle-level earth-level. If the power of the high-level earth-level formation is brought to its limit, even those in the late extraordinary stage will not be able to resist it. , she asked in a deep voice: "What are the conditions for activating this formation?"
Xing Fei shook his head and looked at Ge Shan again.
Geshan thought for a moment and said calmly: "It has been hundreds of years since the last time the Nether Flame Formation was opened. The conditions for opening it are not strict, because this formation absorbs the energy of the underground flame veins."
Seeing Huaifenghua's cautious face, Geshan said thoughtfully: "If the energy accumulated over the years is not detonated at the same time, the Nether Flame Array will not pose a life threat to the late extraordinary stage."
Rumble——
Before Geshan even finished speaking, a vibration like a rolling dragon rippled over from afar. Even though the three of them were monks, they were still staggering around at the first moment.
Xing Fei opened his mouth wide and looked at Ge Shan. Their eyes met each other, both filled with shock.
"Not good!" Huaifenghua knew very well that Bai Hao was decisive and ruthless, so she disappeared from the spot and rushed into the darkness ahead.
"Strange, why did this earthquake stop again?"
"This distance is just to the White Tower. It seems that this formation is far from the point below the City Lord's Mansion."
Geshan couldn't see Huaifenghua's figure in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the outcome is tonight, if we go forward, I'm afraid there will be no room to look back. Have you thought about it?"
Xing Fei gave him a cold look and quickly chased Huaifenghua.
The underground space of the City Lord's Mansion is the center of the Nether Flame Formation.
The fire of the formation soared into the sky, and Mu Qing's rising figure was instantly submerged.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Hot flames were steaming and waves of air were shooting around. Bai Hao's beard and hair were dancing wildly, and his face, which was illuminated by the red light, was full of arrogance for succeeding in his plan.
In ancient times, Youyan State was surrounded by endless volcanoes. Even if they were defeated by the erosion of time, the endless volcanoes turned into continuous green forests. Under the ground of Suzaku Inner City, there was already a vein of flames.
The fire of this formation was taken from the flame veins and was the fire of heaven and earth. In order to be sure that it could kill Mu Qing, he even poured all the energy he had accumulated over the years onto Mu Qing.
At this level, even the top spiritual soldiers would melt instantly if they encountered him. He firmly believed that Mu Qing had no chance of surviving.
"Boy, you only have so much ability, but you still want to avenge them. In the end, I am not a good person who will do it to the end and reunite your family."
The fire that reached the sky had closed into a column, and Mu Qing's breath disappeared from the entire underground space. Bai Hao's face became more and more proud, and he vented the frustration he had been feeling.
The Nether Flame Formation was his biggest barrier at the moment. In order not to consume excessive energy, he pointed his finger at the ground, recited the formula silently, and closed the formation.
"I told you to leave, but you didn't leave. Now it's okay..."
In the shadows, Murong Jing was angrily cursing someone in her heart, and a trace of sadness that she had not noticed flashed in her eyes.
As one of the Hidden Valley's five-person team, codenamed Suzaku, when she was preparing to kill, she didn't even look at Bai Hao. She just slowly raised her slender hand that was still trembling slightly by her side and stabbed it steadily. It was held on a short thorn.
"Huh? You're not dead-"
With a shocking shout, Murong Jing's momentum that she had managed to build up instantly collapsed. She forced herself to swallow the blood that surged into her mouth, and looked forward with wide eyes.
In mid-air, after the fire light receded, the high temperature was still distorting the space.
Layers of blue light wrap around Mu Qing's body, like a long cicada pupa. Whenever high temperature attacks, a trace of purple energy flashes through the blue light, which is enough to withstand the heat. Melting time is high for most things.
Following Bai Hao's startled shout, the layers of green light shattered, and the wandering purple energy instantly penetrated into Mu Qing's eyebrows.
Mu Qing floated quietly in the air. When he opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashed deep in his eyes. Looking at Bai Hao who was on the ground with his fingers stretched out to hide his fear, he vaguely understood who had saved him.
Just now, endless anger completely overwhelmed his reason. At the critical moment of life and death, thousands of words of magic formulas were poured into his brain.
This technique was not unfamiliar to him at all. It was the "Yun-Swallowing Yu Qi" that guided the green light that protected the body.
"How did you do that?" Bai Hao looked up at Mu Qing, and when he met his calm and indifferent eyes, he calmly put down the finger pointing at him and took two steps back.
Behind Bai Hao was the iron prison. He was afraid that Mu Qing would not understand what he meant. After hesitating for a moment, he reminded him: "You'd better not mess around."
Mu Qing resisted not looking at the people in the iron prison, and said condescendingly: "Let them all go, and I can spare your life."
Bai Hao's heart moved. He looked at Mu Qing, who was full of anger before but now looked as calm as an ancient well. He was surprised and confused: "Is he seriously injured and is he just pretending now?"
In Bai Hao's understanding, being able to survive the fire of the formation that killed the extraordinary late stage must have paid an extremely heavy price.
"Hey... this kid is confused." In the shadow, Murong Jing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth while looking helplessly at Mu Qing's back.
When dealing with people like Bai Hao, the more you show that you care about certain things, the more confident he will be. Only dealing with him in a way that makes him afraid will work.
Things developed exactly as Murong Jing expected.
After confirming that Mu Qing didn't have a trace of breath leaking out from around him, Bai Hao became more and more certain that he had been seriously injured, and his expression returned to the feeling that the overall situation was in control before. He silently calculated how long it would take for the formation to be activated again. , walked to the edge of the iron fence, blocked the big vat just now, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen these old friends for many days. I just admitted that I was wrong. This person is not your mother's maid."
Mu Qing couldn't bear to ask the other party's identity and just looked at Bai Hao indifferently.
Bai Hao deliberately tested her again and said with a smile: "Xiaoya is pretty good behind her, but her cultivation is no more than the fourth level of spiritual life. If she is like this, she won't be able to survive at all."
Mu Qing closed his eyes slightly, opened them again, and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Bai Hao moved his body slightly, revealing the looming large vat, "She is actually from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. Based on her seniority, she should be your aunt's senior sister."
Bai Hao stared intently at Mu Qing's expression. He saw the veins on his forehead popping up, but he didn't rush over to him. He was completely sure that Mu Qing was now stern in appearance.
Mu Qing asked: "Then where are my Uncle Zhang and Aunt Xiaoya?"
In fact, when Bai Hao mentioned Zhang Zhijing at first, he just thought Mu Qing would have an impression of Zhang Zhijing. He really didn't expect these two people to be so important to Mu Qing.
He resisted the urge to turn around to discern the thoughts of the two people, and said coldly: "Even if you can withstand the impact of the Nether Flame Formation, don't forget the fact that these people are all in my hands, so please help me." I’ve already shown it to you, it’s time for you to show some sincerity first.”
Bai Hao wanted to put away his question, while Mu Qing narrowed his eyes. Now he was close to the truth, but he had not yet touched the truth. He gradually became uneasy, and he suppressed his anger and recited a few mantras.
Bai Hao couldn't help but be wary when he saw the green light reappearing on Mu Qing's body.
Mu Qing said coldly: "The four mantras just now are a secret technique inherited from ancient times. They can summon green light to protect the body, and at the same time, the strength will be improved to a certain extent."
Bai Hao was stunned when he heard that there was such a secret technique in this world. He suppressed his inner enthusiasm and doubted: "This rare secret technique only has four sentences?"
Mu Qing looked at Bai Hao as if he was mentally retarded. Bai Hao felt the look in his eyes and snorted: "Very good, you actually showed your sincerity, so I will be more generous."
Mu Qing didn't see what he did, but he saw the silver light shining brightly on the iron bars behind him, and there was a distortion. Bai Hao retreated and entered the iron prison, looking at Mu Qing through the iron bars.
He looked at the inquiry in Mu Qing's eyes and said lightly: "The Mujin Dynasty established its country on the Taishi Continent with force, and the use of formations has involved all aspects."
With a wave of his hand, he threw a thin figure out of the iron prison, but when he threw it out of the sky prison, he inadvertently paused, and finally threw the person on the eye of the Youyan Formation.
"She is Xiaoya, the maid next to your mother. She replaced you with her own son, which is a real blessing to you for your survival."
Mu Qing kept telling himself to stay calm, but when he saw the thin figure hitting the ground with a thud, he still rushed over without thinking.
Murong Jing had been observing Bai Hao's every move in the dark. When she saw him making another seal, she could no longer care about the situation after being exposed. She rushed towards Mu Qing and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"
The fireworks haven't even taken off yet, but the temperature in the air has already changed suddenly.
Mu Qing's eyes were extremely bright, staring at the huddled figure on the ground, his speed instantly increased to the limit in a short space.
"Boy, do you want me to lose a lot of purple energy?"
"It turns out that purple energy comes from refining luck, so can't I collect more luck for you in the future?"
With a bang, the Nether Flame Formation was activated again, and the sky-high earth fire once again ravaged the space.
Neither of the two people outside the formation saw a ray of purple energy shoot out from Mu Qing's eyebrows, and at the last moment before the fireworks appeared, it enveloped the figure on the ground.
"you?"
Meng Zhang's voice had already sunk in the sea of consciousness, but now it resounded with anger throughout the sea of consciousness: "Burn yourself in the ground fire, you haven't mastered the art of swallowing clouds and suffocating qi, and there is no chance of survival." there is none left."
"Ha~" Mu Qing smiled and felt a trace of apology from the bottom of his heart. In these short few months, he had encountered countless powerful enemies. Without Meng Zhang's help, he would have probably died long ago. Now he finally finally He got some feedback after passing it, but he was going to die. Wouldn't the previous investment be wasted?
"It's just...how do you know I haven't started yet?"
Mu Qing continued to dive towards the ground, and the earth fire gathered by the formation soared into the sky. This scene looked like an idiot in Bai Hao's eyes, and the same was true in Murong Jing's eyes.
When the heat wave hit his face, Mu Qing opened his eyes slightly, recalling the feeling of being wrapped in purple air just now. This time he did not recite the magic formula silently in his heart. After a little green light appeared from the center of his eyebrows, it was like an underground river seeing the light of day again. , rushing to the whole body.
