C147 Enter the Formation
Zhao Wuji was the blood brother of the Western Central King, and he had already reached the Eighth Rank of Qi Stage. He had been guarding the border between the Wanfeng Country and the Crimson Cloud Kingdom all year round.
Just now, he had seen that all of these young men were as strong as him. There was only one place in the Wanfeng Country that could cultivate such a powerful young man. It was the Aoyun Sect. With Zhao Wuji's status, he naturally knew that the war was initiated by the Aoyun Sect. It seemed like he had already guessed something. After arranging the cleaning up of the battlefield, he prepared to come over and greet the many high-ups of the Aoyun Sect.
When Zhao Wuji walked over, he saw that the group of young experts had retreated. Standing behind the ten people with a respectful expression, Zhao Wuji discovered that among these ten people... Not a single one of them was able to see through their cultivation, especially the five young men. They were all younger than thirty years old, and one of them looked to be less than twenty years old. No wonder the Aoyun Sect was able to stand tall for thousands of years. Their foundation was indeed strong.
"May I ask if the person in front of us is an expert of the Aoyun Sect?" Zhao Wuji had seen a lot of things, so he instantly calmed himself down and bowed. However, his voice was still trembling slightly.
"That's right. Who are you?" Hee Qingxuan took a slight step forward. After Loong Potian and the others had advanced to the Palace Lord realm, someone like Zhao Wuji naturally couldn't let his master and the others speak.
"I am Zhao Wuji, the general of the guards of Xiliang City. Greetings to the experts of Aoyun Sect!" After confirming the identity of the person, Zhao Wuji bowed deeply.
"How's the battle with the Crimson Cloud Kingdom? Does the Netherworld Palace have any spies?" The Head Palace Master asked in a deep voice.
Although he didn't know who this man was, judging from where they were standing, zhao Wuji quickly said, "Up until now, there have only been some minor conflicts between us and the Crimson Cloud Kingdom. Both sides have a winner and loser. In general, the Wanfeng Country has the upper hand, but we haven't seen the Netherworld Palace in this matter."
"Very well. Increase the attack power on the Crimson Cloud Kingdom. I believe that the order from the Ministry of War will be sent soon. You should prepare in advance!" The Head Palace Master was quite satisfied with Zhao Wuji's answer.
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Wuji took the order and said, "This place is still cleaning up the battlefield. Masters, please follow me to the army to rest!"
"No need. We still have to rush to the Crimson Cloud Kingdom. It will be hard on you for the war!" After the Head Palace Master finished speaking, the group of people quickly left.
"It seems like the weather will really change this time!" Zhao Wuji muttered to himself as he looked at the disappearance of the people from the Aoyun Sect. He naturally understood that the reason why so many experts from the Aoyun Sect were rushing to the Crimson Cloud Kingdom was definitely not as simple as traveling abroad.
Once they entered the borders of the Crimson Cloud Kingdom, the Aoyun Sect would not have too many scruples. There was no need to choose the mountain path anymore. Instead, they chose a path that was the closest to the Netherworld Palace and headed straight there. All the cities they passed by, including the local city lords and the garrison leaders, were not spared. All of them were killed.
Extreme Nether Sky Mountain!
The group from the Aoyun Sect had been traveling all the way here with great momentum, but they had never encountered any strong resistance from the Netherworld Palace. At this moment, they had arrived at the peak of the mountain, which made it easier for them to reach the peak of the mountain.
"The attitude of the Netherworld Palace is very strange. It's been so long, it's impossible for them to not know that we have invaded the Crimson Cloud Kingdom. But until now, they have never sent out any experts to defend against us!" The Fifth Palace Master stood at the foot of the mountain and said while looking up at the top of the mountain.
"We've already come this far. No matter what schemes they have, we must break through!" Fourth Palace Lord's temper was still hot.
Everyone nodded their heads and headed towards the top of the mountain. However, their speed had been reduced by a lot. Each and every one of them was on guard. The divine sense of the ten palace masters covered the entire mountain.
On the top of the mountain, a chilly wind blew across everyone's body, causing them to shiver in fear. In front of them, there were rows of dark trees. Even though Ye Bufan had read all the books about herbs in the Verdant Pill Palace, he still couldn't recognize this tree.
Looking at the crisscrossing and disorderly trees, Third Palace Lord said, "This is the Netherworld Spirit Tree. It is said that it was taken from the legendary Specter Realm. The trees themselves will release a kind of netherworld energy, confusing people's minds! Furthermore, the Netherworld Palace also uses the trees to form Dao Rune. Its power is even greater!"
At this time, everyone's eyes turned towards Third Palace Lord. After all, in the domain of the Aoyun Sect's Dao Rune, Third Palace Lord absolutely represented authority.
Ye Bufan observed for a while and found that the Dao Rune was indeed incomparably complicated. It was somewhat similar to the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation in his previous life, but also had some differences. Ye Bufan was unable to think of a way to break it in a short period of time.
Looking at Ye Bufan's face, Third Palace Lord said, "Do you dare to challenge the formation with me?"
Ye Bufan nodded his head firmly. Not to mention Third Palace Lord, even if he came alone, he would still challenge the formation.
Third Palace Lord explained, "This Dao Rune was created using the terrain of the Extreme Dark Heavenly Mountain. It is connected to the heaven and earth. If you want to break the Dao Rune, you have to break it from the inside. As long as we can break in and destroy the core of the ___... This Dao Rune can be broken, otherwise, we won't have a Late Period of Void Discerning cultivation base. There's no way to break through this Dao Rune."
The five old Palace Masters naturally knew a lot about this old opponent of Netherworld Palace. When they saw Ye Bufan and Third Palace Lord trying to force their way through the trial, they hastily said, "I will travel with you all, so that we can take care of each other."
Third Palace Lord shook his head and said," It's useless to have more people. Palace Lord Ye's talent is extremely high, and he has a very high understanding of the Dao Rune. If the situation is not right, it shouldn't be a problem for the two of us to escape unscathed. "
The Great Master had been anxious just now. After all, Third Palace Lord and Ye Bufan... One of them was the only Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Venerable in the Aoyun Sect, and the other was the palace master with the greatest potential in the Aoyun Sect. It would be a great loss to the Aoyun Sect if anything were to happen to any one of them. Now that Third Palace Lord had explained it, he understood the reason behind it. In the Dao Rune, one's cultivation base wasn't guaranteed to be high.
"Then all of you should be careful. If you can't do it, retreat first and we will find a way to deal with him!" The Great Hall Master nodded and said.
Third Palace Lord explained some of the key points in the Dao Rune to Ye Bufan. After Ye Bufan fully understood it, he carried everyone's hope and walked towards the dark forest with Third Palace Lord.
Before they stepped into the forest, a wave of dark erosion hit their faces. Fortunately, they had experienced the trip to the Evil Space's Ghost Domain. At this moment, the dark erosion in the outer region was not as strong as the ghost energy in the Ghost Domain.
However, Ye Bufan still had a thought in his mind. A red flame wrapped around his body and forcefully cut off the connection between the dark erosion Qi and his body.
At the same time, Third Palace Lord did the same thing. However, the flame around Third Palace Lord's body seemed to be much thinner than Ye Bufan's, but Ye Bufan could sense it. Third Palace Lord's flame was a little stronger than his own.
Ye Bufan and Third Palace Lord looked at each other and stepped into the gloomy forest. With just one step, both of them disappeared in front of the people of Aoyun Sect.
As soon as they stepped into the forest, Ye Bufan immediately felt as if he was in a sea. Like a dried leaf, it drifted along with the waves. All of a sudden, a huge wave came crashing down. Ye Bufan slightly tilted his body. Just as he was about to leave this place, Third Palace Lord's voice immediately rang in his ears. "Within the Dao Rune, everything is illusory. Spirit Gods protect their souls and observe the world with their minds!"
Ye Bufan quickly stopped himself and thought to himself, "That was close!"
If he had been attacked by the illusion just now and his body had moved randomly, triggering the Dao Rune, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Waves fell from above Ye Bufan's head, but he could not feel anything from his body. Everything was just an illusion!
Ye Bufan quickly calmed his mind and raised his mental strength to the highest level. Although he could not use his Divine Sense outside his body after entering the Dao Rune, he could at least increase his mental strength to resist the invasion of some illusions.
Ye Bufan had lived two lives, but this was the first time he was in such an environment. He could not help but feel a little restless in his heart. After Third Palace Lord's reminder, he felt much better.
"Three to the left, four to the right, seven forward!" Although he couldn't see Third Palace Lord's figure, Third Palace Lord's voice rang in Ye Bufan's ears.
Ye Bufan immediately followed the footwork taught by Third Palace Lord and moved carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The seawater had disappeared and was replaced by an endless desert.
The scorching sun was high up in the sky. It was emitting a dazzling light, as if it was going to light up everything in the world. After that, Third Palace Lord stepped out from the void and appeared beside Ye Bufan.
"This is bad. This Dao Rune has changed a lot more than I had imagined. Now, we can't even move a single step!" At this moment, Third Palace Lord no longer had the dignity of a Sixth Rank of Spirit Stage Venerable.
His Daoist robe was tattered and tattered. His hair was messy, and there were traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. His pale face was filled with fear.
Ye Bufan was shocked.
"Third Palace Lord, what happened?" Although his heart was filled with worry, Ye Bufan still didn't move an inch. He knew that if he took a casual step forward now, he might be separated from Third Palace Lord once again. At that time, he wouldn't be able to help Third Palace Lord.
"Cough... Cough... " Third Palace Lord coughed for a while, and his chest heaved up and down. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "No wonder the Netherworld Palace didn't stop us before this. It turns out that they found a high-grade spiritual weapon from somewhere. He suppressed the Dao Rune's heart. Now, under the effect of the spiritual weapon... The power of this Dao Rune has increased by countless times. Just now, I was accidentally injured by it. It's already extremely difficult for me to escape unscathed! "
After saying that, Third Palace Lord's body, which was in imminent danger, seemed to be unable to stand stably. He plopped down on the ground and panted heavily.
The situation had developed to such an extent that it had completely exceeded Ye Bufan's expectations. Although he was very close to Third Palace Lord at this moment, it was as if he was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. He wanted to give Third Palace Lord a hand, but he didn't know where to start.
Ye Bufan quickly gathered his thoughts and sensed the fluctuations within the Dao Rune. At this moment, he could see that Third Palace Lord was seriously injured. If he didn't deal with it in time, he was afraid that his life would be in danger. This matter was all because of him. If something were to happen to Third Palace Lord here... Ye Bufan knew that he would blame himself for the rest of his life.
His heart was filled with guilt. Ye Bufan could not concentrate at all. The more he could not, the more anxious he became. After this cycle, Ye Bufan started to feel irritated and uneasy.
