Chapter 31 Encounter

The man in black stared at the scene in front of him.

Suddenly, the man in black shouted: "Kit!"

His eyes were completely red, and his long hair was trembling and floating. The black feather cloak behind him puffed up like an inflated rubber ball.

At the same time, the five-color spiritual energy group in the void rotated extremely quickly. The spiritual energy tentacles it exuded were like spiritual snakes devouring prey, becoming even crazier, and large tracts of the gray spiritual energy in the dome were swallowed by it.

With the rapid loss of gray spiritual power, more and more silver cracks appeared on the dome, gradually connecting into a spider web shape.

After a while, the spiritual energy tentacles that seemed to have been full began to retract one by one and curled up into a ball. Suddenly, the ball of spiritual energy curled up twisted and formed a thin pipe at the bottom that led directly to the man in black's Tianling Cap.

The next moment, the entire spiritual energy mass was poured into the man in black's spiritual cap like a whale sucking water. At this time, the eyes of the man in black were like copper bells, and a few withered muscles on his originally thin face were twitching violently.

In an instant, spiritual pressure comparable to that of the true elixir realm surrounded the man in black, and a large golden glow shot out from the center of his body.

After a while, the golden light disappeared, and the man in black exhaled a long breath and slowly stood up.

"True Alchemy Realm!" After the man in black said three words calmly, he looked up at the silver cracks on the dome.

At this moment, the entire void trembled more violently, issuing a series of rumbling thunder sounds. The spiritual power from further away is gathering here like thousands of troops. What followed was a pressure as majestic as the sea.

The man in black did not panic. He turned his right hand and a weapon that looked like a knife but not a knife, and something like an ax but not an ax appeared in his palm.

This weapon is about three feet long, with a long handle and a sharp edge like a broad-backed kitchen knife.

The true energy is continuously injected into the sharp blade in his hand, and traces of spiritual power jump from the blade like a black snake. The man in black held the handle of the blade with both hands, jumped up, and swung the strange blade with both arms to slash at the crack in the dome.

The huge sharp blade streaked across the dome like lightning.

"Boom!"

The entire space trembled, and the originally dense silver cracks shattered like mirrors, and a two-foot-sized passage instantly appeared.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the man in black looked happy, then suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.

"So fast, someone is following me." After saying this, the man in black jumped decisively into the crack in the dome.

I saw two figures running towards here in the distance at great speed, and soon they arrived under the broken dome. They were a handsome girl in a snow-white dress and a burly man.

The girl looked around and found ten people slumped beside the pillar. The chains that originally locked the ten people had become ineffective due to the destruction of the formation.

The girl's eyes stopped on Xu Yang, and then her body flashed and she came to Xu Yang.

He stretched out his jade hand and gently placed it on the inside of Xu Yang's left wrist, with a hint of comfort on his face.

"It's okay, it's just that the soul power is a little overdrawn." As she said that, the girl took out an exquisite jade bottle from the storage bag, poured out a silver pill, and put it into Xu Yang's mouth.

After a while, Xu Yang's originally cold body gradually felt warm.

Xu Yang opened his eyes. Seeing the girl in front of him, he rubbed his eyes with his hands and blurted out: "Lin'er!"

"Xu Yang, we meet again." Lin'er said with a smile.

Seeing Lin'er's cute smiling face, Xu Yang suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and the original pain had long been forgotten.

"Thank you for the rescue."

"Let's wake up everyone else here first, and we'll talk about the specific situation later."

Not long after, the ten people who had fainted were awakened one by one.

Except for the two brothers Xu Yang, Zhu Liuqing and Bi Jia, the other six are all outer disciples of the Formation Engineering Institute.

After a brief introduction between the two parties, Xu Yang learned that the big man who came with Lin'er was named Niu, and that both Lin'er and Lin'er were inner disciples of the Formation Institute.

The other six Array Engineering Institute disciples who were kidnapped before were all outer disciples. One of the Array Engineering Institute disciples briefly stated the previous situation to Senior Brother Niu and Lin'er.

"Various defensive formations are set up in the middle level of the Ghost Roaring Land, which will automatically attack any outsider who enters the True Alchemy Realm or above. This is to prevent strong people above the True Alchemy Realm from breaking into the inner layer without permission. No. Thinking that the intruder actually formed an elixir in the middle layer, and used the power of the elixir to absorb and destroy the local defenses of the defensive formation, and then used the destructive power of the true elixir realm cultivation to break through the inner barrier defense with one blow, and entered The inner layer. Such a meticulous and strange approach is really unbelievable," Senior Brother Niu said.

Senior Brother Niu paused and continued: "This person did not kill anyone. It seems that he was not targeting the disciples of the Tiangui Sect. He must have another purpose in sneaking into the inner layer. The inner layer is the forbidden area of ​​​​the sect, and there is a secret formation to protect it. , any intrusion by outsiders will definitely alarm the senior officials within the sect, which is something we cannot handle." Then he looked up at the spiritual pressure coming from the distance, and said with a solemn expression: "The protective mechanism of the formation has been triggered. There will be many defensive formation spirits here soon."

At this time, there was a weak spiritual vibration from the dome, and then a huge purple eyeball appeared out of thin air. The eyeball turned and swept downwards.

"The formation spirit defense has been activated." Senior Brother Niu said with a solemn expression.

At the same time, the space around the dome gradually tore open black cracks, and green hands emerged from the cracks. Many green hands grabbed the edge of the cracks and tore them hard, as if something was trying to crawl out from inside.

Then, many green-skinned humanoid spirits landed on the ground from the cracks and surrounded Xu Yang and his party.

The humanoid spirits had no hair and were much taller than ordinary people. Their green skin was bloodless, and their facial features were ferocious like beasts, which made people shudder. One by one, the spirits turned their heads and looked at the group, making strange "squeaky" sounds.

"Each of these array spirits has at least the strength of the Void Transformation Realm, and a few of them can even rival the Peiyuan Realm cultivators. The instinct of array spirits is to kill all those who are considered intruders. Now it seems that we have been considered intruders. Even a True Dan Realm expert would not be able to gain any advantage in the face of such a large number of array spirits. We are in a very dangerous situation now."

"Instead of waiting to die here, it is better to escape to the inner space through the passage where the intruders escaped." Lin'er suggested.

"The inner layer is the forbidden area of ​​the sect. Although we are disciples of the Array Engineering Academy, we are responsible for the maintenance of various arrays in the sect. This time we came here to perform the maintenance task of the middle-level array of the Ghost Howling Land. But we know nothing about the protection of the inner layer of the Ghost Howling Land. If we rashly break into the inner layer, I am afraid it will be full of dangers." Senior Brother Niu said.

"It seems that the intruder knows the situation of the inner layer better than us. He is sure to enter the inner layer, so he must not be going to die. We may take a risk." Lin'er said.

"Junior Sister Lin'er is right. Instead of waiting to die here, we should go to the inner layer to take shelter temporarily. There is no time to lose. Everyone, follow me!" Senior Brother Niu shouted loudly, then jumped into the crack above the dome, followed by Lin'er.

Among this group of people, only Senior Brother Niu's cultivation reached the Cultivation Realm, and Lin'er was at the peak of the second level of the Void Transformation Realm. These two not only have the highest cultivation among the crowd, but are also inner disciples of the Formation Engineering Academy. Therefore, everyone is more willing to listen to their opinions. So Xu Yang and others followed them closely and jumped into the inner gap.

As soon as everyone jumped into the passage formed by the temporary gap, a large group of formation spirits opened their mouths and sprayed fist-sized spirit bullets, which fell like a storm at the place where everyone had just stopped. After a burst of fire, a deep pit was blasted out on the ground.

The purple eyeball that appeared at the dome swept downwards again, and disappeared quietly at the dome after no human figure was seen.

The formation spirits gathered at the place where everyone landed, but did not rush into the inner passage. In a moment, the formation spirits flashed green light and disappeared one after another.

The passages and cracks on the dome were gradually repaired as the spiritual power in the distance continued to replenish.

…

On the main hall of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Yu Cheng, the leader of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, stood with his hands behind his back, and Ning Tianqi stood opposite him. The two were talking quietly.

At this time, a disciple hurried into the hall and bowed and said: "Report to the master, according to the elders who monitor the Ghost Howl Land, someone broke into the inner forbidden area of ​​the Ghost Howl Land without authorization, and kidnapped the disciples of the Wood Spirit Academy who entered the Ghost Howl Land for trials and the disciples of the Formation Engineering Academy who entered the Ghost Howl Land to check the formation. The specific situation is being investigated."

"Who is so bold to break into the Ghost Howl Land and kidnap my sect disciples." Yu Cheng's face sank.

"Tianqi is willing to go to the Ghost Howl Land in person to deal with this matter." Ning Tianqi said.

"The Ghost Howl Land is the most important forbidden area in the sect. It is usually monitored by the elders specially appointed by the sect. There have been no accidents in more than a hundred years. It must not be so simple for someone to successfully break in this time. It would be best if you go in person." Yu Cheng said, and patted Ning Tianqi on the shoulder.

"Tianqi obeys!" Ning Tianqi hurried out of the hall.

Sect Master Yu Cheng paced back and forth in the hall for two steps, and then said to the disciples who reported to the hall: "Please report to me at any time when the situation develops. Go and ask the third and fourth war hall masters to come to discuss matters immediately."

"Yes!" The disciples agreed, turned around and left.

After a cup of tea, two people stood in the main hall of the Tiangui Sect.

"The master of the Barbarian Ghost Hall, Zhan Tianba, greets the master." The speaker was a middle-aged man with a figure like an iron tower.

"Ghost Flame Hall Master Gui Gufeng pays respect to the sect master." The speaker was a handsome, tall, middle-aged man in a red robe, with a particularly eye-catching fiery red hair.

"No need to be polite, the two hall masters. I called you here because I found someone broke into the inner layer of the Ghost Howl Land and kidnapped my sect's disciples who were undergoing trials. I have sent Tianqi to go there first. The Ghost Howl Land is no different from other places. Just in case, you two should go to support quickly."

"Yes!" The two answered in unison.

After the two left, the solemn expression on Yu Cheng's face eased a little.
