According to what Gu Xingzhou said, the past stele, one of the Sansheng stele, is sealed in the culvert. Since this stele is a sacred object of the Immortal Stele Sect, only those with the power of the Four Towns can protect it with far beyond ordinary powers. The bloodline of the clan can withstand the pressure and move freely in it.
In the beginning, it was true. Unexpectedly, as Xu Yue accidentally bumped into him, he discovered that once the mountain wall here was attacked, the pressure from the surrounding people would increase exponentially, and they would attack the tribesmen in the four towns in a highly targeted manner!
This made Xu Yue have to wonder whether the seal here was in disrepair and something had happened, or whether someone was deliberately plotting behind it.
"What to do next?" In the darkness, Huang Nu had recovered her strength, turned to look at Xu Yue, and asked.
Although her cultivation is the strongest among them, as long as Xu Yue is around, she will only be the little girl who follows her brother closely.
"Hmm..." Xu Yue pondered. In this situation, it was no longer realistic to use force to break through the restrictions. He was also worried about leaving the three women here and searching for Gu Xingzhou and Duan Mutian alone.
"That's all, we can only continue to move forward together! However, you must be vigilant and be extremely careful!" Xu Yue sighed, with a serious and solemn expression, like an old mother, who repeatedly warned.
If possible, he didn't want to take three girls and rush to that dangerous place!
"Let's go." The four of them took action again, still holding hands, and started to leave the place in the same order as before.
On the way, Xu Yue thought about it and put his hand into his arms.
"[The Living Treasure Box] is being triggered. The host has obtained: Military Marker, 0 victory points." Xu Yue grabbed his hand and took out a handful of colorful marbles, which were then sprinkled on the road along the way. , barely used as a sign.
"Eh? This thing is quite beautiful, but is it useful?" Lan Ruyan blinked, looked at the dots of neon lights at her feet, and asked curiously.
"It's better than nothing." Xu Yue shook his head. He just arranged it casually. After all, the power of technology can only play a small role in this fantasy world.
The real means is at the back.
"Huh..." Xu Yue exhaled as he walked, closing his eyes slightly at the same time. When he opened them again, his eyes were as complicated and messy as silk holes!
"The [Seventh Ban on Demon Sealing: The Ban on Cause and Effect] is being triggered. The host can touch the causes and conditions in the world, and can also cut off the threads of cause and effect, and prohibit cause and effect." Phew!
The causal ban unfolded and quickly covered Xu Yue's field of vision. Lines of different sizes also appeared out of thin air, extending from Xu Yue's body and leading to someone or something on the other side.
However, in this dark, closed, and coercive environment, the forbidden cause and effect has also been greatly affected. The line of cause and effect has become erratic. If Xu Yue is not careful, it will dissipate into the void and be difficult to detect.
With a high concentration of energy, Xu Yue's steps couldn't help but slow down, and cold sweat began to cover his forehead. After searching for a while, he finally managed to pull out the causal thread between Duan Mutian and Gu Xingzhou from the dense clump of threads, and become an independent party.
"How's it going?" Lan Ruyan huddled behind Xu Yue. Although she didn't know what he was doing specifically, she felt the mysterious and obscure fluctuations of cause and effect, and she looked nervous at this time.
"Not good." Xu Yue looked at the two looming causal lines. He couldn't feel any useful information from them. He could only regard them as the most primitive guideposts and walk hard in the direction pointed by the threads.
Time passed slowly like this. After a while, the four of them suddenly slowed down and observed the surrounding environment.
This seems to be the place where Lan Ruyan and Fu Xiang were scared by Xin Ling.
"It should be right here. I remember this small puddle. It splashed me just now." Lan Ruyan squatted down, poked a palm-sized puddle on the ground, and said seriously.
"That's even more wrong. It took us half an hour to retreat from here to the dead end, but now we can walk back in only a quarter of an hour?" Fu Xiang asked, feeling a little cold on the back of his neck.
"The time and space here must have been messed up, which is why all kinds of mysterious and weird situations occur... But let's keep moving forward. Some things are much easier to use than eyes and consciousness." Xu Yue wiped his forehead. He sweated a lot and took a deep breath to relieve his long-term tension. Then he continued to run the Karma Restriction and moved forward resolutely.
He believes that the power of cause and effect, one of the original laws of the world, will never be easily defeated by the seal here!
And sure enough, along the way, Xu Yue and the others never encountered anything strange again. Although the pressure around them remained unabated, and the decayed and dilapidated atmosphere still existed, the strange and terrifying feeling was invisible. Much weaker.
It was as if they had returned to today's reality from the chaotic world before.
"The mountain walls here are almost the same as those we saw when we first entered the cave." Lan Ruyan became serious and observed the situation carefully.
"Well, it's a lot clearer for me." Xu Yue nodded. From the perspective of cause and effect, the line of cause and effect between Gu Xingzhou and Duan Mutian was no longer as shaky as before, but became solid and bright. This shows that here, The suppression of the causal ban is not decreasing, and the distance between them and the two of them is slowly getting closer.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that a difficult problem was placed in front of Xu Yue again.
"Fork in the road..." Looking at the culvert ahead that was divided into two parts like the causal line, Xu Yue frowned and thought secretly.
Duan Mutian's causal line is on the left, and Gu Xingzhou's causal line is on the right. The two separated here and entered different forks.
There were no clues left around this place, so Xu Yue could not judge whether they accidentally got separated, discovered something and acted separately, or were attacked and forced to split into two groups.
"Who!" At this moment, the wild girl at the back of the team suddenly let out a low shout. Everyone was caught off guard and immediately entered a fighting state!
"What's wrong!" Xu Yue's consciousness reached back, but Huang Nu passed by the three of them at extremely fast speeds and rushed towards the culvert on the right!
"There! There's someone!" Phew! A sense of separation instantly enveloped the three of them. Xu Yue had no time to think too much and hurriedly looked to the right. Sure enough, he saw a pale human face flashing past in the deep darkness!
"Chase!" In the blink of an eye, Huang Nu had already rushed a few meters away. Lan Ruyan also shouted and was about to catch up.
"Wait a minute!" But as soon as she took a step, a hand grabbed her.
"What's wrong!" Lan Ruyan was pulled so hard that half of her body throbbed with pain. At this moment, she hurriedly turned her head, stared at Xu Yue, who looked extremely ugly, and asked loudly: "Why don't you chase after him!"
"Don't go!" Xu Yue shouted, pulling Lan Ruyan back, while staring at Xin Ling a few meters away, his scalp numb.
His causal vision is always open. But just now, when Xin Ling rushed into the culvert on the right, the line of cause and effect between the two was indescribably disturbed, directly disconnected, and temporarily disappeared!
Sure enough, under Xu Yue's solemn gaze, Xin Ling in front suddenly stopped chasing the enemy, quickly turned his head, and looked in Xu Yue's direction, his eyes a little confused and a little horrified.
The two looked at each other like this, even though they were only a few meters apart, they felt like they were separated by the sky. Xu Yue knew that Xin Ling could no longer see him.
At this time, the opponent's eyes may be the same as before, only a solid and strange stone wall, a dead end!
Finally, under this silent gaze, Xin Ling withdrew her gaze, no longer looked back, turned around, and like the ancient boat that passed by here not long ago, continued walking towards the depths of the culvert on the right, slowly Swallowed in darkness.
