"No, he might blow himself up!"
Inside the light curtain, Mo Juren was the first to react and quickly sent a message to the two people beside him. Xu Qingcheng and Han Lijin were both quick-thinking people and quickly took back their respective magic weapons without saying a word.
His guess was correct. Sure enough, following a strange fluctuation of mana, a violent explosion instantly resounded through the sky.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The extremely yin old monster self-destructed, and as the center, terrifying energy suddenly erupted. That energy was so terrifying that it reversed the Five Elements Formation and the powerful barrier formed by the two formations of the Six-Color Miluo Formation could not withstand it at all, and was instantly wiped out.
Mo Juren's expression changed drastically, and he flashed in front of Han Li in an instant, blocking the terrifying energy. His physical body is strong and tyrannical, so he is naturally not afraid of the impact of this energy. Han Li would not be able to do it. Without him to block it, he would definitely be seriously injured.
As for Xu Qingcheng, she even summoned the 'Phantom Spirit Tower'. As a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, she had this tower to protect her, so she was naturally fine.
Fortunately, he noticed it in time, otherwise it would have been difficult to preserve the three people's treasures under such a terrifying energy impact. Especially for Han Li, the six-handled Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword is the opponent's natal flying sword. If it is damaged in this way, it will definitely be an unbearable loss and its own vitality will be severely damaged.
Even so, the opponent's losses were still considerable. Seventy percent of the more than 100,000 gold-eating bugs released died directly. Only a part of the edge area survived by relying on its own strong defense.
Han Li was naturally distressed by this, but he was also very grateful. After all, gold-eating insects can regenerate, and if the natal flying sword is damaged, then the entire set of swords will be useless.
He couldn't help but sigh at the terror of the Nascent Soul Stage monks. He didn't expect that the power of their self-destruction would be so terrifying.
He raised his head and looked at the back in front of him. At that moment, he suddenly felt that the master's body was so majestic! Master was probably the only person who could think of his life and death immediately and step forward without hesitation.
"Old weirdo Ji Yin, he died like this!" Xu Qingcheng took back the pagoda and looked at the empty valley around him, still a little unbelievable in his heart.
At least in her opinion, the previous opponent was not really at the end of his rope. At least the armor's defense was not broken, and his injuries were not serious. He wouldn't be so eager to self-destruct, right?
"According to your estimation, under the terrifying power of self-destruction just now, is there still hope for life?" Mo Juren was also a little confused and asked directly.
"It's hard to say!" Xu Qingcheng shook her head slightly and continued to explain,
"Theoretically, it should be difficult to survive. However, once a monk reaches the Nascent Soul stage, there are endless ways to save his life, and it is extremely difficult to kill him completely.
This extremely sinister old monster has been in the Nascent Soul stage for many years, and ranks at the forefront among monks of the same level in terms of reputation and strength. As the saying goes, it is obviously impossible for him to say that he has no means to save his life. "
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, as if something suddenly occurred to her, and she quickly exclaimed,
"No, there's something wrong with this self-destruction!"
"What's the problem!" Mo Juren looked sharply and asked quickly.
"I just figured it out." Xu Qingcheng looked solemn and continued to explain,
"The explosion just now was not once, but several times in succession. It was obvious that the opponent self-destructed his body and several magic weapons together, which caused such terrifying power.
This is exactly the problem. Whether it is a magic weapon or a body, the effect produced after self-destruction is somewhat different from that of Yuanying. "
"You mean..." Mo Juren thought of something almost instantly, and suddenly turned his head to look at another place in the sky. The next moment, his face suddenly became ugly.
"His Nascent Soul disappeared, or he escaped through some unknown secret method and used the cover of self-destruction. Even the storage bag disappeared without a trace." Xu Qingcheng sighed softly, feeling sorry for this man in his heart. The old weirdo Jiyin was also somewhat impressed.
Not everyone can escape from such a desperate situation. At least she admits that she doesn't have the strength to change places.
And the other party is really decisive, making such a decisive choice at the slightest sign of something wrong, which makes people caught off guard but helpless.
"Wu Chou!" Mo Juren frowned, and then released his huge consciousness. Unfortunately, there was no trace of the other party within more than a hundred miles.
In such a short period of time, it is impossible for the other party to escape too far. However, despite searching a dozen times, he still found nothing.
Obviously, the other party blocked his spiritual sense, and Wu Chou couldn't do this with his own abilities. He must be a very yin old monster.
This is a bit troublesome. If the other party is allowed to escape, there is a high probability that they will take over and rebuild.
It may be okay for the time being, and the other party doesn't dare to show his face. However, given time and waiting for it to grow up again, revenge will be inevitable.
He himself was not afraid, but he had to consider the Miaoyin Sect. The other party has a vicious and vicious character, and once he chooses to retaliate, the consequences can be imagined.
At this time, he couldn't help but feel helpless. According to the original plan, he wanted to use Ling Yuling to let the two elders of Xinggong help deal with the extremely evil old monster.
After all, such a thing is also beneficial to Xing Gong, so it is reasonable to help.
Unfortunately, after mentioning this matter at the beginning, Ling Yuling only replied that he would notify the superiors, and there was no news after that. Even to this day, there is still no response.
This was a mutually beneficial matter, and since the other party didn't agree, he didn't bother to force it.
Later, after some analysis and discussion with Xu Qingcheng, I felt that if there was a formation to assist, it wouldn't be so troublesome as long as it was done properly. It just so happened that he didn't want to owe any favors, so he simply didn't mention the matter again.
The subsequent development was as expected from the beginning. Everything went smoothly. The old monster Jiyin was forced into a desperate situation and was about to succeed.
Who would have thought that an accident would occur at the last critical moment, allowing the extremely yin old monster to escape.
"Master, you don't need to worry too much. The matter is not that serious." But at this moment, Han Li suddenly said.
"Tell me what you think?" Mo Juren's heart moved and he motioned for the other party to continue.
"Even if the extremely yin old monster escapes, there are only two ways to choose. One is to return to the safe area through the teleportation array and wait for the end of the Xutian Palace. The second is to go to the Ice and Fire Road and choose to continue to break through. However, with the other party's current situation, In this situation, I am afraid that there is a high probability that we will choose the former. As long as we go to the teleportation array immediately to guard, we will definitely be able to block him."
"This method won't work!" Mo Juren thought for a while, but quickly rejected the proposal. It's very simple. There is not enough time. If we go back to intercept the opponent now, we will definitely not be able to catch up with the opening of the ice and fire path, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Although the threat from the extremely yin old monster is true, it is not now. To seize the body and rebuild it, and even break through to the Nascent Soul stage again, it will definitely take a long time. It will be difficult to do it in less than 180 years.
By that time, his strength would have grown to an unknown extent, and Wang Ying's strength would not be too bad either. Apart from their mother and daughter, he actually didn't care that much about the life and death of others in the Miaoyin Sect.
By then, as long as the safety issue of mother and daughter is solved, everything else will be insignificant.
In contrast, breaking through the Ice and Fire Road and continuing to explore in depth is what he must complete. Whether it is the Xutian Cauldron or the Xutian Star Map, they are extremely important to him.
Of course, he could also let Xu Qingcheng go there alone. But thinking about it, the other party would not agree. This exploration of Xutian Cauldron is equally important to the other party. How could it be given up for a possible future threat?
Just as he thought, Xu Qingcheng had no intention of going back at all, so he chose to remain silent after hearing the suggestion. As for Han Li, he is too weak and there is no use going back.
"Okay, let's let this matter go. After we leave, we can think of other ways to deal with it." Mo Juren made a decision immediately, and the two of them did not object, and both nodded slightly.
"Then what should we do now, go to the entrance of Ice and Fire Road?" Xu Qingcheng spoke again, changing the subject.
"Don't worry, help me find a treasure first." Mo Juren smiled, then took out another jade slip and began to examine it carefully.
"Treasure!" Not only Xu Qingcheng, but Han Li also looked curious. Master's vision is very high. What kind of treasure can make him value it so much? Even delaying the trip to the Ice and Fire Road?
Mo Juren did not explain. He put away the jade slip and said directly: "First, help me find a place. It is a small mountain. Unlike other mountain peaks, there is no grass growing in the mountain, and the spiritual energy is extremely thin..."
"No grass grows, and the spiritual energy is thin!" Xu Qingcheng and Han Li looked at each other. This was the Xutian Palace. The surrounding heaven and earth were extremely rich in spiritual energy, and the same was true for the nearby mountain ranges. At least I just flew through the sky and didn't realize there was such a special place.
"There is a high probability that this is the information. I eliminated several directions through comparison and roughly determined the location of this mountain. It should be in the mountain area here. As for the specific location, I can only search hard." Mo. Ju Ren looked serious and continued,
"The strength of our spiritual consciousness is not low, so the three of us are responsible for searching in one direction. Once we find the target, we will notify each other immediately. We must not act rashly."
"Can you tell me what good thing it is?" The other party said so seriously that Xu Qingcheng became more and more curious, and actually came closer to test it out.
"Don't be so curious!" Mo Juren pushed the other person's head away and reiterated,
"You must take my words to heart. If you can't help but alert others and cause the things I want to disappear, don't blame me for being rude."
"I know, why are you so fierce?" Xu Qingcheng snorted coldly, and then directly jumped into the air, choosing a direction and flying away at high speed.
Mo Juren ignored the other party's temptation and told Han Li: "You are not strong enough, so you may encounter some danger. If the situation goes wrong, you must flee immediately. Just let the treasure hunt take its course."
"Master, don't worry, this disciple knows it." Han Li clasped his fists, then also chose a direction and flew away.
Looking at the other party's disappearing back, Mo Juren couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He didn't give the instructions randomly. After all, Han Li was only in the early stage of forming a pill. What if he happened to meet an old monster from Ji Yin? Even if there is only one Nascent Soul left, it will definitely not be something the other party can handle.
Fortunately, Han Li is also a vigilant person, so there is no need to worry too much.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, chose a direction and started searching.
The strength of his spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul. It can directly cover more than a hundred miles, and the sensing range reaches two hundred miles. Therefore, it is not that difficult to find a barren mountain with almost no spiritual energy among countless peaks with rich spiritual energy.
Of course, the premise of everything is that the location he previously determined using the elimination method is correct, otherwise, the chance of finding it will be slim.
Anyway, if you still have time, take a gamble on your luck. If you fail, at least you won’t regret it.
…
Somewhere in mid-air, a black light was flying away at high speed.
If Mo Juren were here, he would naturally be able to tell at a glance that this person was Wu Chou. However, something was obviously not right with the opponent at this time. His expression was very stiff, and his body seemed to be uncoordinated. He even appeared skewed from time to time when flying.
Probably the only smart thing is the other person's eyes, which are extremely complex. Anger and resentment coexist, but there is also a trace of regret. In addition, he looks around from time to time, full of vigilance.
However, an accident still happened. Just when he was flying over a certain mountain peak, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared, blocking his way instantly.
The change was so rapid that when he reacted, all directions above and below were blocked by transparent barriers, completely trapping him inside.
"Who is it?" Wu Chou's face was ugly, and he felt great fear in his heart. This method is obviously not something that a monk in the alchemy stage can do, and he is simply unable to cope with his current situation.
"Pa bang bang..." As a crisp burst of applause sounded, a strange figure emerged from the void, hovering not far away, looking at him with a sneer on his face.
"Who are you? Why are you not afraid of revenge from your ancestors when you attack this junior?" Wu Chou's eyes flashed slightly, but he was very surprised in his heart. He had some impression that this person was one of the many monks in the alchemy stage who were waiting in the hall before. He never thought that that was not the real situation at all, and that the other party was a genuine Nascent Soul monk.
"Retaliation?" The visitor sneered and said again,
"If I destroy you, Jiyin Island will be completely finished. Who can take revenge on me? Am I right, Master of Jiyin Island?"
"You...senior made a mistake, I am Wu Chou..." Hearing the other party's name, Wu Chou, or the old monster Ji Yin, suddenly panicked. He never expected that the other party could see his secret at a glance.
"It's already this time, why don't you admit it's useful?" The man sneered again, but he was too lazy to listen to the other party's excuses, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes,
"The beautiful scenery here makes it an excellent place to bury bones. Master of Jiyin Island, your fortune is good, I will give you a ride!"
After saying that, a pair of black rings suddenly appeared in his hand, and the whole body exuded an icy cold light. With just a slight throw, the two ring magic weapons turned into two black lights and shot away.
"Lihen Huan, you are the owner of Lihen Island and Xing Gong, no..."
…
At the same time, somewhere at the foot of the mountain, an old man in Confucian attire was sitting cross-legged, with green light flashing around him, obviously concentrating on his cultivation.
After an unknown amount of time, all the green light was withdrawn from the body, and his eyes slowly opened.
"Fortunately, I brought the 'Qinghua Pill', so it's no big deal." The old man in Confucian clothing let out a sigh, but his expression became confused.
Not long ago, I originally planned to follow Jiyin Ancestor, and wanted to see what the other party's purpose was in leaving in such a hurry?
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the mountain area, they were suddenly attacked by a black-robed masked monk. The opponent was very strong and his attacks were as fast as lightning, which caught him off guard.
With just one blow, he suffered considerable injuries. After fighting for several rounds again, he found that he was no match. Naturally, he would not continue to fight head-on and made a decisive decision to escape.
Fortunately, the other party did not pursue him, and with his amazing escape skills, he was able to get rid of the entanglement.
Because he chose to escape in time, his injuries were not serious. He took a 'Qinghua Pill' and spent several hours to recover as before.
However, the doubts in my heart became more and more intense.
Who is that person? Why attack him secretly? And judging from his strength, he must be a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, but he has always hidden his head and tail, and can't see the other party's true appearance clearly.
Could it be one of the three people from Zhengdao, or the two old guys from Xingong?
Thinking about it, I think it's impossible. What's the point of attacking him here for no reason? What's the point? As a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, as long as he concentrates on escaping, the other party can't do anything to him.
Unless Wan Tianming takes action himself, the other party, as a mid-stage Nascent Soul strongman, may cause great harm to him. But this is obviously impossible. If it is really the other party and it is a sneak attack, he will not be safe.
After thinking about it, there were so many things that he couldn't figure out, and he racked his brains but couldn't find an answer.
After some thought, I simply stopped worrying. It is still important to enter Xutian's inner hall right now. Don't bother with the other things for the time being. Besides, there is a high probability that the other party will also enter the inner hall. Afterwards, you can observe carefully and maybe you can find something.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. He had spent a lot of time healing his wounds before, and now he couldn't get involved in Jiyin's affairs. He simply stood up, turned into a ray of green light, and shot through the air in the direction of the Ice and Fire Dao.
