Chapter 1004 – Stone Puppet
”What happened, why are you all so alarmed?” Dry old devil surprised up, originally should have done attack posture of the white shadow, under a shake and back to the original place, and suddenly half turned toward the back, make a posture of guard.
Because of the back from the light curtain flying out of the cultivator although all the woeful, but none of the YuanYing cultivation, even if the old devil again arrogance, but also do not dare to wait and see. What’s more, the bursting sound that came from the light curtain just now made him have a hidden bad feeling.
”Brother Qian really does have amazing aptitude, he actually arrived here one step earlier than all of us. Hehe, isn’t this Daoyou Fu from the Nine Specters Sect? These two are …… “These cultivators were clearly the Four Elders of the Poison Sacred Sect and the other five YuanYing cultivators, and that Four Scattered Realist was also furtively amongst them, but Hua Tianqi was the first to be startled at the sight of Han Li’s three.
”So it’s Brother Hua, what a coincidence. However, what exactly happened with the burst just now?” The old man with the surname Fu, however, had his heart set on the matter of the exit, and without bothering to explain anything, he also hurriedly inquired.
”Hmph! We still have to ask a few fellow Daoists about this. Since a few of you arrived here before us, I’m sure the illusionary formation outside was also laid by you. Just now, the illusion formation burst open to block the passageway once again, so I think it was also arranged by a few of you.” A big man among those few YuanYing cultivators, however, said with a cold snort.
Upon hearing these words, the rest of them also changed their faces slightly and stared at Han Li’s few people, who also had unkind looks on their faces.
”A few fellow Daoists should not misunderstand. When Mister Fu’s few people arrived at this point, there had long been other cultivators at this place. The illusionary formation you guys are talking about isn’t any of my three people’s business at all. Your Excellency has suffered a great loss, do you want to take it out on Mister Fu?” When the old man surnamed Fu heard these words, his face immediately sank and he said without ceremony.
At a time like this when the situation was complicated, one could not show weakness easily, or else they would only be taken as weak and easily besieged by others.
”There are still people here?” This time, not only were the four old men of the Poison Saint Sect stunned, even Old Devil Qian was taken aback.
”Hmph. The three of us were unintentionally teleported here by an ancient spell formation, and at that time, we heard the sound of a broken ban coming from the mountain, only to then be trapped by a ban for several days, and only then were we unable to find those people in time. I think that the matter of the phantom formation you are talking about should be related to this group of people.” The old man with the surname Fu was also not an idle person, and in a few words, he explained the matter.
”Is that really the case?” The big man revealed a hesitant color, and the rest of the cultivators also half-heartedly became suspicious.
”Brother Fu is the Nine Specters Sect’s Law Enforcement Elder, it’s unlikely that he would deceive us on such a clear-cut matter. Moreover, if it is really the Nine Specters Sect that unlocked this seal, it is impossible for the Nine Specters Sect’s ancient Taoist friends not to come here to preside over it personally.” Hua Tianqi’s complexion slowed down, but he seemed to fully believe the old man’s words.
”That’s true!” The big man thought for a moment. It also felt reasonable.
”But when we flew in just now. There was something wrong with the three of you and Brother Qian. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Fu offended Brother Qian in some way?” Hua Tianqi’s eyes turned slightly. Suddenly, he asked about the matter. After all, just now, Han Li’s three and the old devil were in a crossbow situation. This cadre of cultivators had seen it clearly.
”This matter ……,” the old man’s face flushed with a moment of hesitation.
Just when the old man surnamed Fu secretly pondered how to answer this question. Far away in the Kunwu mountain part of a huge hall. The big-headed monster was holding a small golden-colored hammer, and with a swing, a silver-white arc of electricity struck out, instantly shattering a stone tiger puppet that was close to him into pieces.
Behind him, the Ye Family cultivators, likewise each drove their own magic treasures, striking furiously at the various stone puppets in front of them.
These puppets were all beasts and birds. Not only was their bodies hard and unusual, but they could also spit out all kinds of simple spells, which was really vicious and unusual. Through the four corridors around the palace, they gushed out wildly, as if they were endless.
But these Ye family cultivators are all calm, just stifled to catalyze the magic treasure, seems to have a good idea of what to do.
As a result, after a few moments, one side of the far side suddenly came a loud noise, the corridor there even then the whole collapse down, this direction of the stone puppets suddenly stopped gushing out.
Ye family cultivators heard this sound, face are showing a hint of joy.
Not long after the other three directions of the corridor also one by one in the roar collapsed down, there is no new puppets to join, the remaining puppets in the hall in the Ye family under the hands of the people in a few moments was swept away.
”What the hell are these things, they don’t seem to be quite the same as the current puppets.”
Only then did the Ye family members’ spirits loosen up, and they all took out their spirit stones and sat down on their knees on the ground. This time, although the danger didn’t seem too great, but because they had driven the magic treasure with all their might for a long time, they had really lost a lot of mana.
And it was only then that from the last destroyed corridor, a recluse light shot out, and in the twinkling of an eye it arrived in front of the crowd, and the light converged, revealing that white-robed Confucian scholar.
”Elder Han, you were right, at the end of those corridors there is indeed a side hall at each end. Those puppets all ran out from inside. I followed the method mentioned by fellow Daoist before breaking the ban and entering, and several of the partial hall hubs were destroyed by me.” The Confucian said at one of them with a smile.
”It’s nothing, the origin of this puppet grand formation, in the past years, I saw the relevant records from the ancient books before I knew how to cope with it. Otherwise just by holding on in place bitterly, even if one’s cultivation is heavenly, they will be hard worn out.” The one who replied back was clearly the unmoving Ancient Demon.
”Haha, it seems that Mister Ye’s designation to bring Elder Han here is really useful. I’m afraid I’ll have a lot of help in the future.” The Confucian scholar spoke in a pleasant manner.
”Great Elder is too polite. Even if I don’t say this, Mister Han will still do his best.” The corners of the ancient devil’s mouth curled up as he faintly uttered a polite sentence. It made the Confucian nod his head, greatly satisfied.
Right at this moment, the big-headed monster on the side suddenly said with a hefty smile, “Counting the time, the backhand we set up in the illusionary formation should also kick in. If we are lucky, we might be able to buy some more time for our Ye family.”
”Indeed, someone should have broken into the formation by now. As long as someone enters the formation, it will naturally trigger this backhand, causing the illusion formation to self-destruct in a very short period of time. However, the obstruction caused by this self-destruction will be eliminated after five or six days at most. The entrance will be accessible again. What’s more, without this matter, the entire seal will begin to loosen after waiting for some more time.” The Confucian said with a stony expression.
”It’s still early for the seals to start weakening to actually collapsing. There’s enough treasure for us to take out. On the contrary, which location of Mount Kunwu should we be at now, it shouldn’t be far from the main building of this mountain.” The big-headed monster, however, rushed at the Confucian scholar and asked in this manner.
”Hm! It should be about the same. But now we are encountering more and more frequent prohibitions, which means that we are already close to the key place of Mount Kunwu.” After thinking about it, the Confucian said slowly.
”That’s good. But there is one more thing that is troublesome. That Silver-winged Night Fork is following behind with its old shadowy spirit. What does it mean in the end. Does it want to take the time to sneak attack us?” After the big-headed monster finished saying this, he twisted his head and glanced towards the entrance at the other end of the great hall, revealing a few concerns on his face.
Several other people heard this and subconsciously looked over as well. As a result, that side was empty, as if there wasn’t the slightest thing there.
But the Ye family cultivators knew very well that in some unknown place over there, that silver-winged night fork was in all probability looking at them from afar in a hidden form.
This caused these cultivators to feel greatly disturbed for a moment.
If it was not for the fact that there were two late stage YuanYing cultivators accompanying them, ordinary cultivators would not dare to be stared at by this high-level monster, and would not disperse in a flurry of activity.
”This Flying Corpse is indeed somewhat troublesome. If time permits, with the ability of Uncle Seven and I, it’s not impossible to design a way to severely injure or even exterminate this fang. But on the contrary, we are strapped for time and must race against the clock. In this situation, a risky move to expel it might instead cause it to become enraged. Now we can only see if somewhere ahead, with the help of some sort of prohibition, we can bring it in to take the opportunity to trap this monster.” After pondering for a long time, the Confucian scholar could only say this.
When the others heard this, most of them also felt that it made sense, and immediately nodded their heads in agreement. After all, with the Silver-winged Night Fork’s extraordinary evasion techniques, it was really an unlikely situation to want to rely on their own strength to get rid of this monster.
So the crowd slightly recovered some mana, immediately out of the stone hall, appeared in the exit.
But the Ye family cultivators eyes suddenly bright, a little survey of the situation in the distance, and then everyone stayed like a wooden chicken up.
Only to see in front of them appeared a large undulating large and small dozen of stone steps, respectively, led to a different place on the mountain. But each stone step is the same white fog in the distance, it is impossible to distinguish the end of the stone steps are leading to where. How could this not make the Ye Family and the others, somewhat dumbfounded.
”How is this going to be? If one of us explores one place, we simply cannot explore them all.” An old man lightly exhaled and turned his face to the Confucian scholar and smiled bitterly.
”There’s no need to be nervous, this means that we’ve already entered the core of Mount Kunwu. That’s why this many branches have appeared. This should be a good thing. Acting separately definitely won’t work. Once the manpower is thin, we won’t even be able to defend ourselves. If we want to go that way, it’s better to go to that platform over there and see if there’s anything marked.”
The Confucian was worthy of being the Ye Family’s Grand Elder, and quickly calmed down to come up with a solution. And the platform he referred to was a piece of white jade square where all the stone steps intersected and set off, only a few miles away from them, very huge.
Hearing the Confucian said, the other people also have no better good strategy, also can only first to that piece of square to take a look before.
So all of them have driven up the recluse light straight to that side of the shot and go. But all the people square air, on the “poof” “poof” have fallen from the air down.
”Air ban ban. This kind of restriction has been placed here?” The big-headed monster shouted out of his mouth.
Fortunately, the Ye Family group of cultivators did not fly high, although they were in a mess but no one was injured, but it also surprised everyone.
Although the existence of the forbidden air restriction had greatly delayed their actions, it also showed that they had really stepped into the important place of Mount Kunwu.
