Chapter 57 Sand Sea

At the foot of a mountain on Piaoyun Peak, the stone door of the other space was still wide open, and there was no one around.

Not long after, three figures appeared in the open space in front of the stone door. They were the three people led by Ning Tianqi who had just arrived.

Yu Qingcheng looked at the stone door that had been opened, turned his head and said: "Brother, should we listen to Master Lan's arrangement and wait here, or go in and grab the treasure now."

Ning Tianqi smiled slightly and said: "The time has not come yet. How can we be Master Lan's vanguard for nothing? Besides, we are not very clear about the strength of the Southern Region cultivators this time. If we wait here, a group of hungry wolves will come. Wouldn't it be difficult to deal with them?"

"What does Senior Brother mean?" Yu Qingcheng said, moving two steps in front of Ning Tianqi.

"Let's find a place to hide first. It will not be long before the Southern Region cultivators will rush here. Let these Southern Region cultivators enter here first, and we will enter when the opportunity arises." Ning Tianqi said.

"It's a good idea to let them fight each other. But what if the people of Yu Dao Sect get the treasure first?"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Qingcheng, the leader of Guigu has sneaked in here first." Bai Shaojie said on the side.

"So you have arranged it long ago. Senior Brother is really wise. I like you more and more." Yu Qingcheng said charmingly, with a charming and coquettish look. Although Yu Qingcheng is no longer in her twenties, she is also a first-class beauty.

Ning Tianqi has been a disciple of the sect leader Yu Cheng since he was seven or eight years old, and he and Yu Qingcheng have been childhood sweethearts.

Yu Qingcheng has always admired her senior brother Ning Tianqi, but Ning Tianqi treats Yu Qingcheng as a sister in his heart. Fate makes people play tricks on people. Later, Ning Tianqi and Lin'er's mother became a dual cultivation couple in the southern region. After returning to the Tiangui Sect, Yu Qingcheng actually clamored to be sisters with Lin'er's mother and be Ning Tianqi's concubine. Later, Lin'er's mother went into seclusion for some reason, and the matter was shelved.

Ning Tianqi observed the surrounding terrain and said, "The hillside opposite is a good place to hide. You can see the situation here at any time."

The three people turned into shadows and disappeared from the spot. After a while, they came to the opposite hillside.

Bai Shaojie took out a yellow talisman and threw it. The talisman exploded in the wind and turned into a large piece of light mist that enveloped the three people.

Looking from the position of the stone gate to the hillside, the figures of the three people could no longer be seen. Even the spiritual consciousness was deflected by the interference of the spiritual mist, and it was impossible to detect the location of the three people for a while.

Not long after, four more people came to the stone gate. One of them rode a gray wolf about ten feet long, which was Rong Ming.

The other three people, one was a strong young man wearing a tiger skin skirt. One was a girl in a white dress, with several snow-white fluff balls dotted on the edge of her dress, petite and cute. The bright eyes were as blurred and deep as the moonlight, very beautiful. The last person was a middle-aged monk with a round body and tall stature, with a wisp of beard under his fat face.

The young man in the tiger-skin skirt looked at the open passage and said, "It seems that the people from Yudao Sect have already got there first. Should we chase them in?"

"Let Ying'er investigate the situation of the opponent first, and then we can make plans." The older fat monk said.

"No matter how many people there are, we will just kill them in. We are not afraid of them." Rong Ming said with slightly round eyes.

"Brother Rong, don't worry. Wait until I cast a spell to find out the situation, and then we can take action." The girl in white said softly.

After speaking, the girl in white pinched her fingers with one hand and chanted the spell. A white light flashed in her bright eyes, and her eyes turned and slowly swept around the stone gate.

After a while, the girl put away her skills and said, "I'm afraid that at least six Yuanhun Realm cultivators have come here just now, and there may be a seventh person, but it's not clear. Brother Youfeng, you should make the decision."

The tall and fat cultivator among the four people looked solemn after hearing this, and then said, "There are actually six or seven people. According to previous investigations, it is impossible for Yu Dao Sect to have so many Yuanhun Realm cultivators appear here at the same time. I'm afraid that the cultivators of Tiangui Sect are also among them. If the four of us rush in, it will probably be a fierce battle." After saying that, she looked at the other three.

"Elder Mu Di, you are usually a fearless character in the South Region. Why are you so cautious today? If we don't enter now, it will not be so easy to take back the treasure after the people of Yu Dao Sect find it first. I believe that even if the strength of the four of us is not enough to defeat the opponent, we can hold them for a while, and when help arrives, it will be a natural thing to take the treasure." Rong Ming said seriously.

After listening, Mu Di Youfeng looked at the other two people. Then he said, "Shanyue and Ying'er, what do you think?"

"I, Tuoba Shanyue, come to the Northern Territory for the first time, and I will follow the arrangements of the elders." The young man in the tiger skin skirt replied.

"Brother Rong Ming is right. I, Linghu Ying'er, really want to see the ability of the Northern Territory Yuanhun Realm cultivators." The girl in white said seriously.

"Since everyone agrees, we can't miss the opportunity. Let's go in." Mu Di Youfeng said.

The four figures disappeared in the passage in a flash.

...

Not long after, Ning Tianqi and the other two appeared outside the stone gate again.

"The cultivation of these four Southern Territory cultivators is all in the Yuanhun Realm. The Southern Territory has really dispatched a considerable amount of combat power for this treasure hunt." Ning Tianqi said.

"Now the Taoist friends who entered the Yu Dao Sect earlier will be busy." Bai Shaojie said.

"They are fighting like snipes and clams. Let's just be fishermen for a while. Old Master Lan is so sorry." After Yu Qingcheng finished speaking, he let out a chuckle.

Ning Tianqi waved his hand and was the first to rush into the passage, followed closely by Yu Qingcheng and Bai Shaojie. In the blink of an eye, the three figures disappeared into the passage.

In a different space. An endless sea of ​​sand.

There were three people standing on a sand dune.

They are a bookish scholar in gray robe, a young man in blue brocade robe, and a girl in skirt. It was Ji Wuhen, Lu Qian and Baili Qing who had entered the different space.

"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid this is not a place to hide treasure. It should be a defensive formation. Let me cast a spell to test the reality first."

After Ji Wuhen finished speaking, he unfolded the ancient scroll in his hand, and a scent of bookish fragrance slowly spread from it. There was no word on the opened book, only a deep blank. Next, Ji Wuhen moved his finger and used the pointing pen to draw back and forth on the scroll a few times. Suddenly, a handsome character "horse" appeared on the scroll.

"Go!" With a clear shout, the word "horse" on the scroll jumped up with a faint ink light. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a dark horse with all four hooves and ran wildly towards the sand sea on the opposite side.

Suddenly, where the horse passed, waves of sand rolled, and a giant hand of yellow sand, five or six feet in size, rose from the waves. The big hand slapped the horse hard, and with a loud bang, it was buried in the sea of ​​sand, leaving only circles of sand marks in place.

In an instant, the entire sand sea returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"This sea of ​​sand is indeed a defensive formation. If we don't find the way out, we will waste too much time if we forcefully break through this formation. Moreover, this formation is extremely mysterious, and even my unique Zi Xun Technique cannot detect it. Its real main space is located. Unfortunately, the secret scrolls kept in Yudao Sect only contain a few sentences about this place, and there is no detailed layout of the formation here." Ji Wuhen, who was dressed in gray robes, felt helpless. said.

"I'm afraid this is also the preparation of the senior in the sect who is afraid that the secret scroll will be leaked out. If the first one to enter this place is not a disciple of our Yudo Sect, he will definitely be trapped by this endless sea of ​​sand." He was dressed in blue. Lu Qian, who was wearing brocade robes, said.

"Two senior brothers, don't worry. Elder Lan gave me something to help us find the correct direction before we set off." With that said, Baili Qing took out a simple wooden hairpin.

The workmanship of this hairpin is minimalist, with a light wood-yellow luster all over the hairpin, making it look plain and ordinary.

"This hairpin was left by the senior in the door. It should be able to sense where the Lord is."

After Bailiqing finished speaking, she held the wooden hairpin in her palm. Sakura opened her mouth and blew a breath of essence onto her hairpin. The hairpin flashed with inspiration and spun in his palm. After a moment, the pointed end of the hairpin pointed in one direction and started to vibrate.

Baili Qing carefully put away the wooden hairpin and said, "It should be in that direction."

"It seems that senior has already made arrangements." Ji Wuhen finished speaking with a look of respect on his face.

"In that case, let me lead the way." Lu Qian said.

"Then there's Junior Brother Lao Lu." Ji Wuhen said.

Lu Qian spread out his left hand, and dozens of black and white chess pieces appeared in his palm. Then he threw it towards the yellow sand in front of him, and many black and white chess pieces disappeared into the yellow sand on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qian stretched out his left hand, and a simple chessboard two feet square appeared in his palm.

Lu Qian held the chessboard in his left hand and walked in front. Ji Wuhen and Baili Qing followed closely behind.

Lu Qian's eyes were fixed on the situation in the sea of ​​sand.

Not long after, a huge sand palm blocked the path of the three of them.

Lu Qian's right hand moved quickly towards the chessboard. The next moment, several black chess pieces appeared out of thin air around the huge sand palm.

"Jie!"

The black chess piece flashed with inspiration and moved flexibly, surrounding the huge palm of sand. Circles of silver runes were constantly glowing on the surface of the black chess piece. For a moment, the transmission of spiritual power between the huge sand palm and the sea of ​​sand was blocked by the silver runes.

"carry!"

Several white chess pieces appeared at the bottom of the huge sand palm, and then spun violently. The rotating chess piece was as sharp as a sword, cutting off the huge sand palm from the wrist. With a roar, the huge sand palm turned into a pool of yellow sand and fell to the ground.

Just like that, the huge sand palms blocking the road were defeated one after another by the black and white chess pieces controlled by Lu Qian.

The three of them were unstoppable along the way.
