Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 8: The wind rises and the clouds fly
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, Kuaiji Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top, seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy colorful clouds. It was not an ordinary sea of clouds, but a vague barrier created by humans.
Moreover, if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be a strange cloud resting halfway up the main peak of the 7749 peaks of Mount Kuaiji. The mountain wind drives the other colorful clouds to float slowly, but this cloud seems to be tied by an invisible rope and remains motionless.
Ying Lili used the Life Spirit Technique to examine it more carefully, and only then did she discover that beneath the strange cloud was a dense forest shrouded in thick black fog. However, when she tried to use the Life Spirit Technique to examine it more closely, she was blocked by a mysterious barrier-like seal, completely unable to see through the dense forest. She only noticed that there were occasional birds flying in, but they never came out.
It seems that the core of the 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation' is located under that strange cloud!
However, Gong Lili also understood that reaching the core of the formation, or even destroying it, would be almost impossible. This was one of the ten great formations of antiquity. The multicolored clouds and mist seemed ethereal, but in reality, they condensed the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once activated, it was more powerful than thunder. Anyone who dared to enter would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
The biggest feature of this 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation' is that it seems loose and disorganized, but in fact it is ever-changing and strange. It is said that it can transform into 21 kinds of formations. Even in the records of the ancient Sha Mo books that Gong Lili has read, this 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation' is highly praised, and there is no record of how to break it.
However, in the current situation, even if they knew there was a tiger in the mountain, Yinglili and others had to go there. For some reason, Yinglili had a strong intuition that Zhuo Ao's maid in green must still be in Kuaiji Mountain, and they must find her. Yinglili also planned to ask her about many unsolved mysteries from five hundred years ago.
However, although it is necessary to do so, adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry", everyone decided to keep a low profile and explore the mystery of the "Xuanmo Fuxi Formation" before deciding how to enter the formation.
Although the people present had strong cultivation, Gong Lili was naturally the best at formations. When Qingluan found a flat ground to land everyone, she took out a few bamboo sticks from her bosom without saying a word, and pointed in the air with her left hand. The bamboo sticks began to rotate slowly like a revolving lantern.
Divine sign.
The divine stick could break formations and reveal the mysteries of heaven and earth. Everyone knew its power and didn't bother her. At this moment, they could only hear Gong Lili muttering something, her right hand forming the Heart Questioning Technique, her left hand making the Sky Pointing Technique. Various spells and characters began to flow faintly from the spinning bamboo stick. Gong Lili herself was actually sitting on the ground, eyes closed, lost in thought...
Just as Gong Lili's divine sign was spinning rapidly, Mo Yi on the side suddenly noticed something. With a flash of cold eyes, he rushed in front of Gong Lili, and the emerald green long sword in his hand broke through the air, drawing an ice-blue virtual circle in front of everyone!
Just when the rest of the people were still not able to react to what was happening, they suddenly heard a few crane cries in the void. In the blink of an eye, a group of young men in green Taoist robes and carrying huge sword boxes on their backs came floating over. After a few bangs, those special-looking cranes turned into a puff of smoke in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace. The green-robed Taoists with huge sword boxes on their backs surrounded Gong Lili and others in the center in an instant.
Although they all looked handsome and elegant, the hostility emanating from them could not be concealed in any way.
And the way they looked at everyone was vaguely unfriendly.
Wei Xingying and others reacted immediately. They all quickly adjusted their bodies and formed a battle formation, protecting the lost-in-thought Gong Lili in the middle. The Purple Cloud Beast even jumped up and replaced Mo Yi's position to stand in front of Gong Lili, as if it would immediately take Gong Lili away on a cloud of mist if there was any disturbance in the next moment.
Mo Yi caught a glimpse of the Purple Cloud Beast's protective behavior at this time from the corner of his eye, and nodded slightly with satisfaction. Then he took a few steps forward, clenched the Dragon-Slaying Roar in his hand, and glanced coldly at the uninvited guests around him, and his cold eyes narrowed slightly.
Although they were numerous, they were clearly not worthy enough for the newly appointed Nayu tribe leader to take them seriously. A few strikes would be enough to make a difference. However, Mo Yi remained silent because he was curious: where did these Taoists come from? Taoists were not common in the Void Realm. So, were they related to the 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation'?
Suddenly, a shadow flashed through Mo Yi's mind. A Taoist priest in green? If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have run into one in the hall before. Although he was slightly older than the ones before him, his attire was very similar, except he didn't carry a giant sword. He was also a nosy person. That person saw through the country boy's identity at a glance. Could it be...
Qingluan, on the other hand, seemed to have seen through the other party's identity. She took a few steps forward and confronted one of them, and was the first to speak: "What are you doing here?"
It sounded like someone knew the other person's identity, and everyone's attention immediately turned to her. Unfortunately, Qingluan was wearing a bronze mask, so her expression could not be seen clearly.
Then, everyone's eyes fell on the green-robed Taoist who was facing Qingluan. He was dressed in a green robe like everyone else, with a tall hat on his head decorated with silk ribbons and jade tassels. He looked dignified and seemed to be the leader.
When the man saw Qingluan, his eyes were filled with mockery. "I just sensed that there seemed to be an uninvited guest in Kuaiji Mountain. I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Qingluan from Penglai Fairyland . Your master really doesn't let you have any free time."
A cold snort escaped Qingluan's throat, and her tone became even colder: "You are not qualified to say anything about my master!"
At this moment, Wei Xingying's brows furrowed slightly. He had known Qingluan for such a long time, but this was the first time he had felt such strong hostility from her. What was the identity of this person? It sounded like he was very familiar with Qingluan.
At this moment, Qingluan was like a sensitive hedgehog, feeling like all the spines were standing up. She continued to ask aggressively, "What on earth are you doing here?!"
The young man actually laughed heartily: "Are you the only ones allowed to get involved in the Xu Ming Realm Continent? Can't we from the Wuji Immortal Palace come along and have some fun?"
Wuji Immortal Palace? !
Hearing this name, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and finally understood the reason for Qingluan's hostility at this moment.
Wuji Fairy Palace, which is almost as famous as Penglai Fairyland, does not exist in the Xuming Continent. Legend has it that Wuji Fairy Palace and Penglai Fairyland seem to be somewhere outside the sky on the coast of the South China Sea.
However, Penglai Fairyland is a congenital land of immortals that has existed since time immemorial, and almost all the people in Penglai Fairyland are immortals who have existed since time immemorial. Of course, although Qingluan herself is an ordinary person with mixed Ye State blood, she is the only anomaly in Penglai Fairyland; and Wuji Fairy Palace is a place for cultivating immortals founded by a group of people who became immortals through acquired cultivation.
Although both were registered as immortals, due to some innate and acquired problems, the Penglai Fairyland and the Wuji Fairy Palace seemed to be incompatible and disliked each other. Almost every few decades, they would compete in martial arts and ridicule each other.
But there is one thing that they have a tacit understanding in common, that is, in the past tens of millions of years, both of their families have almost never interfered in the affairs of the Xuming Continent, forming a subtle mutual restraint and maintaining a certain balance. However, now it seems that things seem to have changed.
First of all, Penglai Fairyland was the first to send Qingluan, and now, the Wuji Fairy Palace has also sent people. Is it possible that something big is about to happen in the Xuming Realm Continent?
Thinking of the matter of the key to the demon world, everyone's hearts inevitably became a little gloomy. Logically speaking, although the people of Wuji Immortal Palace have always been at odds with Penglai Fairyland, they should not help the demons. It seems that there is no benefit for them to let the lives of the people in Xuming Continent be destroyed.
So, why are they here? What is their purpose?
"Let's be frank, what exactly do you want to do?" Qingluan's voice suddenly became sharp. It seemed that she really disliked these people.
"We are just following the master's orders to prevent any outsiders from approaching Kuaiji Mountain, so please go back and don't force us to take action." The young man in the lead said so, but his eyes were fixed on Mo Yi, who had been silent and tightly pursed his lips.
His intuition told him that the man in front of him was no ordinary person.
He was as still as a mountain, yet he gave off an invisible sense of oppression. He always felt that if this person attacked, it would be as aggressive as fire and unstoppable as a bamboo. He had never felt such an oppressive feeling even when facing his master.
However, the man in front of him seemed to be much younger than his master, even younger than himself. He was probably no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. Could it be true that heroes have always emerged from youth?
When did such a master appear in the Xu Ming Realm?
I remember that the master once mentioned that apart from the amazing genius Xuan Yue who had long since passed away, the most powerful people in the Xu Ming Continent were the three disciples under Xuan Yue. However, two of those three are now dead, and only one is called Zhuo Ao, who now seems to have become a guest of honor of the Holy Mother of Mount Li in the Penglai Fairyland.
So what is the origin of this person?
At this moment, Mo Yihan's eyes flashed, and the Dragon Slaying Roar in his hand roared out!
