In the spirit-gathering array, figures sat quietly cross-legged. As the pieces of black crystal turned into powder, a large amount of spiritual power was released. Because it was so rich, it even formed a substantial spiritual liquid that hovered around everyone.
Among them, Mu Qing had the most spiritual liquid around him. He was like a bottomless pit, absorbing the spiritual liquid crazily.
Suddenly, a violent explosion broke the calm, and the cave began to shake. Sand and rocks fell. Mu Qing took the lead to finish breathing and looked towards the source of the sound.
Several basilisks actually broke through the defense line outside and were rushing towards the spirit gathering array.
Just as Mu Qing was about to take action to deal with these monsters, Gu Yinghe had already turned back from the outside, killed these monsters with clean movements, and said to Mu Qing: "We can't stay any longer, they have changed the direction of attack!"
Only then did Mu Qing notice that the ground not far away was torn apart, and more and more basilisks were faintly visible in the smoke. It turned out that these basilisks did not break through the defense line at the entrance of the cave, but emerged from the ground.
There was no need for Mu Qing to remind him. Such a big movement had already alarmed everyone in the cave. When Mu Qing saw everyone looking at him, he immediately said in a deep voice: "We have no more options. Let's leave the Dark Sound Valley in one go!"
"call out--"
A bright sword whistle sounded, and Mu Qing rushed out first with one sword.
Soon, a well-defined sword formation was formed amid the impact of the beast tide.
Mu Qing and the girls Zhu Hongyan, who had almost recovered, served as the sword tip of the sword formation, Gu Yinghe and others served as the sword body, and the broken tail of the sword was given to Tantai Wenrui.
Everyone in the sword formation was trying their best, but at this time, the monster seemed to be stimulated by the fierceness. Even the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages was abandoned. With scarlet eyes, it just charged towards Mu Qing and his team. .
Within half a stick of incense, someone fell behind. Mu Qing initially wanted to rescue the disciple of the Sword Sect, but found that as long as they stopped, the impact they faced would multiply at an extremely terrifying speed. In the end, He had no choice but to give up. As the person leading the way, Mu Qing had no choice to stop.
The rapid sound of swords resounded in the Mingyin Valley for several hours, and occasionally there would be a few more frightened screams.
Mu Qing held Ye Yun's hand tightly. His body's true energy had been consumed to the last half, and he was more tired than ever before. The only good thing was that after the sword array's supplementation, the Suppressing Demon Sword seemed more and more powerful. He is so brave that he can often completely kill a monster with just one strike of his sword.
The Yuan Guang Mirror in Zhe Qianqian's hand also played a great role, directly imprinting the most powerful blow of the sword formation, and had rescued the fleeing team several times.
At a certain moment, the monsters no longer appeared in front of Mu Qing, and the fog that had always shrouded him also faded a lot, and the mouth of the Nether Sound Valley appeared in front of everyone.
Ye Yun held Mu Qing's hand and gave it a slight squeeze. Mu Qing turned around and smiled, thankfully saying, "Fortunately, I didn't get lost."
Mu Qing swept forward with Ye Yun. At this moment, even though there were many unknown risks outside the valley entrance, he did not want to stay here any longer.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Mu Qing and his party left the Dark Sound Valley smoothly.
Only then did Mu Qing have time to count the number of people.
Wuji Sword Sect and Dao Sect, the two sects with the largest number of participants, are in very bad shape, with only two people left. However, the situation on the three islands is not much better. Xiang Wen did not know when he fell behind, and there are people on each island. Only one person remained.
But the worst thing was Tantai Wenrui's group. There were originally a dozen of them, but now there were only a few left. The monsters seemed to recognize them and launched the most crazy attack on them.
Mu Qing walked up to Tantai Wenrui and apologized: "I shouldn't have let you go at the back."
Tantai Wenrui smiled bitterly: "You are still the one who is under the greatest pressure. This is all our own choice. You don't have to mind."
Perhaps too many companions left like this, but Tantai Wenrui and the others resolved the haze in their hearts and chose to completely remove the poison from their bodies. At this time, they had also returned to their normal appearance.
Zhu Hongyan looked at the safe brother and sister beside him, feeling a little thankful for their encounter, and sighed to Mu Qing: "You also reminded me before that the danger in the secret realm is unimaginable. I didn't take it seriously at the time. If you really only knew that this was the case No matter how precious this mysterious crystal is, I don’t want to come to this ghost place again.”
Everyone else nodded empathetically.
Mu Qing looked at the group of people in front of him who looked tired, and said: "We have to continue on our way, first to the first level of the secret realm, and then find a way out."
After leaving the Dark Sound Valley, even though the second level of the secret realm is still full of unknown dangers, everyone's emotions are no longer as tense as before, and they can easily avoid some crises when they encounter them.
Soon, they arrived at the area where they had just entered the second floor. In the air, they could still vaguely see the reflection of the gushing spring.
However, everyone soon discovered to their disappointment that they could not return to the first floor through the spring. They could see the spring, but it did not exist in the world on the second floor.
Mu Qing quickly found Ying Zhu and Tantai Wenrui and asked about how to return to the first floor.
Tantai Wenrui said: "When you entered the second level of the secret realm for the first time, did you hear some strange sounds?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Tantai Wenrui continued: "We call this secret realm Mingquan Secret Realm because the first level has a spring of spiritual energy connecting heaven and earth, and the second level retains a period of ancient times. The secret sound."
Mu Qing frowned and said, "Aren't these secret sounds left by Zhi Ming to tempt people into becoming possessed?"
Mu Qing still remembers Yuan Fei who died in his hands. That guy was obsessed with the sound and finally turned into a monster.
Tantai Wenrui shook his head and said: "The echoes of the battle involving the gods and various magical powers and secret techniques remain to this day, which created the special secret sound."
"The reason why you become obsessed with listening to sounds is because most of the secret sounds you can hear have been contaminated by the abyss. But if we want to leave the second level, we must try to listen to the secret sounds and successfully understand them. Only by successfully communicating the secret message can the barrier between the second layer and the first layer be opened."
Everyone's expressions were a bit ugly.
Mu Qing didn't think too much and said immediately: "I'll give it a try first."
"no!"
Ye Yuncai didn't want her man to take risks, so she blurted out the words immediately in desperation, but what surprised her was that she was not the only one who thought so.
Gu Yinghe was looked at by Ye Yun and said with a normal expression: "Although you are quite capable when facing Zhi Ming, these secret sounds do not come from Zhi Ming alone, and are also contaminated by the abyss. If something goes wrong with you , none of us can save you, and no one is your opponent."
Ye Yun raised her eyebrows and said, "Ying He is right."
Tantai Wenrui also agreed with Gu Yinghe's point of view and said to Mu Qing: "If we have a problem, we can still pin our hopes on you. Others don't have this ability, so let us people try."
Tantai Wenrui didn't wait for Mu Qing to speak, then led a few people around him to fly into the air, then crossed his legs in the air and began to actively emit his spiritual consciousness to capture the secret sounds wandering between heaven and earth.
Soon, a scene that surprised Mu Qing and others appeared.
Strange and obscure voices began to sound in the world. These voices even turned into ancient words that surrounded Tantai Wenrui and others. However, most of these words quickly dissipated in a flash of inspiration and could not be stabilized at all.
Mu Qing looked carefully and noticed that whenever Tantai Wenrui wanted to hold these words close to him, an extremely fine black stain would appear on the words, and the words would fall apart at an extremely fast speed.
But those dark stains did not disintegrate, but penetrated into Tantai Wenrui's body.
Finally, when Tantai Wenrui failed again, Mu Qing moved and appeared next to Tantai Wenrui. He reached out and grabbed a dark stain in his hand.
The stain still wanted to struggle, but it was firmly trapped by the Hongmeng purple energy and could not break free. However, the words that were supposed to disintegrate actually showed signs of recovery.
Mu Qing calmed down and immediately said to Tantai Wenrui and others: "You continue."
This time, with Mu Qing assisting, Tantai Wenrui and others successfully communicated the secret voice between heaven and earth, and opened the barrier to the first floor in one go!
Everyone returned to the first floor smoothly.
Compared to the dark second-level secret realm, the first level is simply a holy realm.
Mu Qing looked at the long-lost spring of spiritual energy and was about to talk to Ye Yun beside him when he heard an exclamation from Wei Shengling and quickly looked over.
They couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it, because not far away from the edge of the forest, a group of lizard monsters were rushing toward them like crazy.
Zhu Hongyan and the other girls subconsciously set up their sword formations, preparing to attack when these monsters got closer.
Mu Qing was originally wondering why there were monsters running to the first floor to ambush them, but as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw Wei Shengling and Ying Zhu approaching them happily, and said quickly: "Don't be nervous, we are one of our own."
Ahead, Ying Zhu and his companions hugged each other and cried for a while before leading a group of people who still retained the characteristics of monsters to come to the crowd.
Mu Qing glanced at Tantai Wenrui and expressed his doubts: "They should have been taken away by Weisheng Lingyi, why are they here?"
Ying Zhu said: "I'm surprised too. Let Qian Lan speak for herself."
At this time, the person who was holding hands with Wei Shengling and refusing to let go was Tantai Qianlan. When she saw her friend who had recovered his body, Tantai Qianlan seemed very happy and said quickly: "The Lord of God wants to kill After killing us, Lord Lingyi banished us all to the abyss. I thought I would never see Xiaoling again, but unexpectedly I encountered a space crack in the abyss. When I woke up again, we were already here."
"The space crack in the abyss..."
Mu Qing thought thoughtfully and said, "Could it be that Wei Sheng Lingyi deliberately let you go?"
Seeing Mu Qing's serious look, Wei Shengling suddenly became nervous and wanted to explain something. Mu Qing quickly smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't suspect they have a problem, I just feel that the Lord Lingyi you are talking about doesn't seem to think so. It has to be so bad.”
Mu Qing had dealt with Weisheng Lingyi several times, and his memory was very profound. Even though he had the help of Meng Zhang and the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he still did not dare to take it lightly when facing the Huangquan Qi.
Mu Qing had a feeling at that time that Weisheng Lingyi did not try its best to deal with them.
If the microscopic spirit ripples recklessly mobilize the power of the abyss and cause the underworld's energy to rage, Mu Qing doesn't have much confidence that he can escape unscathed.
Wei Shengling said: "Master Lingyi takes good care of us, otherwise we wouldn't have existed for so long."
"Um."
Mu Qing took out all the extra detoxification pills and faced the expectant eyes of these people and said: "Since you are lucky, let's detoxify the poisons on your body as well."
Some people died, but not completely...
