Chapter 284, Mysterious Black Fog
"Almost," Qing Dengzi took back the empty mustard bottle, poured out some white liquid to neutralize the corrosive venom that fell into the entrance, and said to everyone: "The entrance has appeared, and only one person can enter at a time. The Qingding Gate and Qingsuo Formation People from the Association will get in first, do you all have any objections?"
"Wait a minute," Qu Lietang stopped Qing Dengzi, who was about to jump down, and said, "We have absolutely no problem with you Qing Dengzi going down first, but if the entire Qingding Sect and the Qingsuo Formation Association go down together, I'm afraid When you finish, we won’t have to wait anymore.”
"Yes, Mr. Qu is right. If there is a treasure underneath, the one who gets down first will definitely get there first," other members of the formation association agreed. On this point, they were obviously on Qu Lietang's side.
With several major formations speaking out, other forces also began to express their attitudes.
Qing Dengzi was worried about arousing public anger and being besieged when he got downstairs. He did not dare to ask too much at the moment, and snorted coldly: "If there is no Qingxuan liquid, everyone will not be able to go down today. Since they think my request is too much, then fine, The people from the Qingsuo Formation Association will stay up there until everyone has gone down, and we, the people from the Qingding Sect, will go first."
"This..." Qu Lietang paused for a moment, then looked back at the consuls of Tianhongmen. When the latter nodded, he moved out of the way and said no more.
A total of three soul masters came to the Qingding Sect this time, and the Qingsuo Formation Association supported by it came to four soul masters. Compared with the number of other formations and association sects sent this time, it was two or three less, but in There was no hint of cowardice in his aura.
After Qing Dengzi and three others jumped down from the entrance of the cave, everyone stepped forward and rushed to prepare to enter the tomb. For fear of chaos causing unnecessary disputes and conflicts, Hongfengzi from Tianhongmen jumped over the crowd and stood at the entrance of the cave. He opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, please be patient and come one by one. Each force will send one person to the tomb in turn, taking turns."
With Hongfengzi presiding over the situation, the scene became much more stable. Under his command, people from the other five formations and the five behind-the-scenes sects began to line up in an orderly manner.
Lan Ting glanced at the several soul masters of the Qingsuo Formation Association standing in the distance, worried about what tricks they might play, and said to Lan Yin: "You and Feng Yi will stay up there to take care of you."
Feng Yi is a disciple of Lan Tingshou and one of the people from the Blue Sky Formation Association who came together this time.
Lan Yin was naturally aware of Lan Ting's concerns, shook his head and refused: "No, you and Xiao Feng stay, the formation association needs you more."
Before Lan Ting could refuse, Lan Yin had already rushed to the entrance.
Lan Ting sighed and said to a woman behind him: "Elder Youlao, take care of your younger brother when you get down."
The woman is an elder of the 'Lanhan Villa', the sect behind the Blue Sky Formation Association. The 'Tai Qing Sheng Yuan Jue' she practices is an excellent healing technique. If she takes care of her, even if Lan Yin is suffering from it. It can also provide protection for serious injuries.
A hint of vague dissatisfaction flashed across the woman's face, but her expression remained gentle. She nodded slightly and walked forward.
Bai Bing watched Lu Lu's people entering one after another, and said to Lu Feng, "Let's go in quickly."
Lu Feng raised his head and glanced at the sky, thinking: "We will go in after everyone has entered."
"Aren't you afraid that the baby underneath will be taken one step ahead?" Bai Bing couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart.
Lu Feng smiled: "If it were so easy to take it away, so many people wouldn't have been sacrificed."
Qiao Xuan nodded and agreed with Lu Feng's statement. He came here purely because of his friendship with Lan Ting. Originally, he did not need to go to this secret realm, but Guan Hongzi was injured, and Lan Ting thought that he could have more strength. A little more hope.
As the soul masters entered one after another, the only ones left above were a few people from the Qingsuo Formation Association, and the soul masters who were left behind to take care of the soul masters who did not intend to enter.
Qing Shaoyang of the Qingsuo Formation Association said to the remaining people: "Have you all finished entering? Then we will go down."
"Please," Lan Ting gestured.
Bai Bing saw that everyone had already entered, and said anxiously: "You are still not going in? I will go in first."
Lu Feng looked up at the sky again and confirmed the time. "It's almost time. Let's go in."
"Inexplicable," Bai Bing complained.
Lu Feng didn't take it to heart and didn't explain much. The reason why he chose to go in at noon was just a guess after observing the lines on the foundation.
Under the entrance that was corroded by the azure liquid, there was a tunnel with no end. When Lu Feng and Bai Bing went down, only a dozen soul masters stayed in place.
"Where are the others?" Lu Feng asked when he saw Qiao Xuan in the crowd.
Qiao Xuan came to Lu Feng and Bai Bing and explained: "The people who came down in front were either going left or right, and they were all heading deeper."
Lu Feng looked around and asked, "Where is Vice President Lan? Where have they gone?"
Qiao Xuan shook his head, "When I came down, I didn't see Lan Yin's figure. I guess I followed Lan Gu deeper."
"Lan Gu?" Lu Feng recalled the forces Lan Yin had mentioned and guessed, "Is Lan Gu the person sent by Lan Han Villa this time?"
Qiao Xuan nodded and said: "Since I don't know which direction to go, I want to see if those who left first will turn back."
"It has been some time since Qing Dengzi and the others came down. If they encountered a dead end, they should have come back." Lu Feng looked at the few soul masters who were staying in the same place and asked, "Does anyone know which direction the Qingdingmen and his party went? "
"Over there," a soul master pointed to his right side and said.
While he was talking, a miserable cry suddenly came from the distance to his left.
"Run quickly~get out of here."
The shouts were getting closer and closer, and Lu Feng and others instantly became alert.
"Is it Xu Gongyu from Yuchen Formation Association?" Qiao Xuan recognized the person.
"What is that black mist behind him?" Bai Bing subconsciously took a few steps back.
Xu Gongyu looked at the people blocking the exit and shouted in a panic: "Go away quickly, this black mist can eat people, get out quickly."
"Life is important, retreat first," Qiao Xuan pulled Lu Feng and Bai Bing to prepare to escape.
"It's too late," Bai Bing turned pale and shouted as he looked at the rapidly approaching black fog.
Lu Feng's eyes flashed with purple light, he glanced at the ray of sunlight pouring down from the entrance of the cave, and thought of the gloomy lines on the foundation, he said, "Don't worry, it can't get through."
Seeing Xu Gongyu being swallowed by the black mist, Lu Feng took out a piece of cloth and threw it out, pulling it out of the black mist in front of him.
"Pfft~"
Xu Gongyu's mouth was overflowing with blood, his face was dark, and a wisp of black energy was looming between his eyebrows. He collapsed weakly under the entrance of the cave, with panic still in his eyes.
Bai Bing looked at the black mist that was only a few feet away from the cave entrance, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "What's going on? Why is this black mist not moving?"
Many soul masters who had climbed out of the cave gradually came back down, looking at the still black mist with confusion.
"What the hell is this?" Qiao Xuan swallowed and looked at the black mist with fear. With Xu Gongyu's strength, he was only touched by the black mist and was injured like this.
Someone in the crowd had the courage to take out an iron rod, and with the encouragement of everyone, he swung it towards the black mist, hoping to disperse it.
"No!" Xu Gongyu coughed and shouted, but it was too late. The black mist spread along the iron rod in an instant, swallowing the man without even blinking.
Fortunately, his companion reacted in time and followed Lu Feng's example and used a whip to pull him out. However, the latter's ending was more serious than Xu Gongyu's and he fainted directly.
"What on earth is this?" Qiao Xuan asked nervously.
Xu Gongyu looked sad as he looked at the black mist. He coughed out a mouthful of black blood and said feebly: "I don't know what it is. I have never seen such a terrifying thing. I am the only one of us in the Yuchen Formation Association who escaped. come out."
"What?!" Qiao Xuan looked at Xu Gongyu in shock and said unbearably: "Your father..."
Xu Gongyu nodded, his eyes were lonely and full of deathly silence.
Xu Gongyu's father, Xu Guangtai, is the president of the Yuchen Formation Association.
Qiao Xuan retreated and said, "This place is too dangerous. Let's not go deep. I will take nephew Xu out to heal his wounds first. You can go out together."
Lu Feng looked at Bai Bing, waiting for her response. Lu Feng was not interested in this place, but came with her out of favor to Bai Bing.
Bai Bing hesitated for a moment and refused: "Deputy Qiao, you go out first. I will stay for a while to see what's going on. If there is no progress, I will come out."
Qiao Xuan nodded, and after a few words of caution, he jumped out with the unconscious Xu Gongyu.
Seeing this, the rest of the soul masters also became timid, and most of them left one after another. In the end, only four of them were left.
Bai Bing asked: "Now that the black fog is a dead end, let's go to the other side to have a look?"
Lu Feng nodded, leaned down and picked up a fragment of the sword on the ground, then held the cold-glow metal fragment to the sun, refracting a ray of sunlight towards the black mist.
The black fog was instantly pierced by the sunlight, like lava pouring on the ice. It could not withstand the slightest, and began to dissipate at an extremely fast speed, and the corridor returned to calm.
"How could this happen?" Bai Bing asked in surprise.
Lu Feng replied: "This black mist may be related to the lines on the foundation. It is extremely yin. The reason why it is stagnant is because of this ray of sunlight shining from the entrance of the cave."
"Since you knew that sunlight could restrain the black fog, why didn't you tell me earlier?" A man in the crowd wearing a robe of the Huang Yi Formation Association asked.
Lu Feng saw that his appearance was exactly the same as Qian Yichen's, and he knew that the other party was from the Huangyi Formation Association. He felt unhappy and responded coldly: "It was just a guess before, but I have just confirmed it."
"Ha~" the man sneered.
Bai Bing looked at the man's aggressive attitude and said angrily: "What we do is none of your business. If you had real ability, you wouldn't stay here. What right do you have to complain to others?"
