Chapter 44: Yanlan Cave Heaven (4)

  The sky was gradually getting dark. Fortunately, the cultivators could use their spiritual power to see at night.

  When they arrived at the third opportunity place, Shen Qingluo found some traces of fighting nearby.

  There were traces of swords, chopping and burning, and there were also scattered traces of blood.

  It was obvious that a fellow disciple had been here and was injured.

  This was a jungle with lush vegetation and a few spiritual plants of young age.

  You Ling stared at the traces of the fight for a while and said with certainty, "It was a fight between cultivators. It seems that some of the fellow disciples have already torn their faces apart."

  Xia Jinxi took over the words, "Judging from the extent of the blood spilled, the injuries are not very serious, and no one should have died."

  "In any case, according to the current situation, at least two groups of people have come here. Be careful, Sister Shen, do you think we should leave directly and look for other opportunities, or stay here temporarily to check the specific situation?"

  Shen Qingluo withdrew her consciousness and pondered, "I just confirmed that there is no one else within a radius of nine miles."

  You Ling nodded, "This is a jungle, and the opportunities mostly come from spiritual plants and fruits, but judging from the age, it doesn't look like it. Those who can be marked by the master must have something special."

  On the side, Xia Jinxi suddenly walked to a ginkgo tree that was as thick as two people hugging, and used a sword in her palm, and swung it on the trunk with a bang.

  A rustling sound came out, and countless ginkgo leaves fell down.

  You Ling opened her eyes slightly, full of doubts, and said, "Junior Sister Xia, what are you doing?"

  Xia Jinxi pursed her lips, her expression a little solemn, "There is a formation here, it seems to be naturally formed, we accidentally stepped into the formation, and now we are all trapped in the formation, this ginkgo tree is the best proof."

  "Formation?" You Ling's tone was a little suspicious, the formation that could make them fall into it without knowing it could not be a first-level formation, this is trouble.

  Shen Qingluo also found something wrong at this moment, the ginkgo leaves fell in pieces, but the leaves on the tree did not decrease at all.

  She knew that her friend had a strong talent in formation, so she asked, "Jinxi, do you know what type of formation this is?"

  "If my judgment is correct, this is a trapping formation. Being in this formation, there won't be too much danger, but you will never be able to leave the range of the formation."

  Thinking of the traces of fighting, Shen Qingluo was thoughtful, "In that case, the two groups of people before were also likely trapped in the formation?"

  "Well, this trapping formation is a bit complicated and covers a wide range. Preliminary judgment is that it can reach a radius of fifty miles."

  You Ling's face was a little ugly, "If so, it's only a matter of time before we run into those two groups of people. Junior Sister Xia, do you have a way to break the formation?"

  Xia Jinxi shook her head, "Not yet. This formation is of a very high level, and I always feel that this formation should be triggered artificially."

  You Ling stretched out her hand and scratched her hair, "I know nothing about formations, and I don't quite understand the last sentence. Junior Sister Xia, you said before that this formation was formed naturally, how come it has become artificially triggered now?"

  "There are a few naturally formed formations that will be triggered only when certain conditions are met. When they are not triggered, even if you walk into the range of the formation, you can come out safely."

  "That's right." You Ling suddenly realized, and then asked: "If this is the case, will the formation continue to operate after it is triggered? Or will it return to its original state after a period of time, and then we can leave?"

  "I don't know about this. This is the first time I have come into contact with such a high-level formation. However, if we can't break the formation and can't recover automatically, we may have to stay here until Yanlan Cave is closed in a month and we are teleported away."

  At this point, Xia Jinxi showed some sadness on her face.

  Although she is good at formations, she is limited by her cultivation level. She has only come into contact with the first and second levels. She has only some understanding of the third level. As for the fourth level and above, she has never come into contact with it.

  The reason why she was able to find something wrong before was mainly due to her intuition about the formation.

  Now, let alone breaking the formation, she can't even see how the formation works.

  Shen Qingluo paused the conversation with Jingshi Lihuo, walked to the two people with sad faces, and told them what she had just learned.

  After listening, You Ling was refreshed, "Since there is a way, let's go there immediately. I have disliked those two people for a long time!"

  Yao Molian also agreed with this, "In that cave, the reason why they didn't fight was just because they were concerned about our strength. If we were weaker, I'm afraid there would be a fierce battle at the beginning."

  The three quickly reached a consensus. Under the guidance of Jingshi Lihuo, after half a cup of tea, they gradually approached the hiding place of Peng Wen and Chang Fan.

  It must be said that the two men were very alert. When they were still ten feet away from them, Peng Wen suddenly stood up, looked over with lightning eyes, and shouted loudly, "Who?"

"It's me!"

  You Ling stepped out first, looking at the young man with a cold face.

  Seeing her, Peng Wen's heart skipped a beat and he secretly said something bad. When Shen Qingluo and Xia Jinxi appeared, his face became extremely ugly.

  "Three junior sisters, come here, what's the matter?"

  You Ling said expressionlessly: "Senior Brother Peng should have discovered that we are trapped in a formation. This formation is of a very high level, and it is impossible to break it directly, but as long as we kill the person who triggered the formation, all problems will be solved."

  Chang Fan, who was standing next to Peng Wen, sneered, "What do you mean, Senior Sister You? The sect strictly prohibits disciples from killing each other. Do you want to violate the sect rules?"

  "If you hadn't attacked your fellow disciples first, how could this formation be triggered? Peng Wen, Chang Fan, do you two dare to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and not to kill your fellow disciples?"

  The oath to the Heavenly Dao, once violated, will be haunted by demons and will not make any progress in cultivation, and the path of Tao will be ruined.

  The two of them were guilty, so how could they dare to swear such an oath.

  Seeing this, Shen Qingluo was completely convinced of the words of the Pure World Fire, and immediately attacked Peng Wen and Chang Fan without hesitation.

  The two had been secretly prepared for a long time. When they saw Shen Qingluo take action, they chose to retreat at the first time.

  They were very clear about the situation of the sect competition, and they also knew that with their own strength, it would be difficult to fight against the first place in the competition, not to mention that You Ling and Xia Jinxi were watching covetously.

  At this moment, in the air, a golden sword with a sharp sword energy condensed in an instant, targeting Chang Fan. With a flash of light, it quickly caught up with this person and chopped him down on the head.

  Almost at the same time, a long whip rolled towards Peng Wen who was trying to speed up and escape from here, and the cold sword intent also sliced over immediately.

  With a loud bang, something unexpected happened.

  When the golden sword was about to cut Chang Fan, this person suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the attack failed. A deep hole of dozens of feet was split in the surrounding ground.

  A moment later, Chang Fan reappeared from ten feet away, his face was extremely pale, and it was obvious that the means he had just used consumed a lot of him.

  Shen Qingluo quickly made a seal with both hands, and another golden sword condensed in the air again, locking it.

  As the disciple of the elder of Qifeng, Chang Fan had many magic weapons on him. Seeing the golden sword slashing down again, he gritted his teeth, slapped his storage bag, took out more than a dozen magic weapons in one breath, and threw them at the golden sword, shouting: "Explode!"

  The next moment, a series of loud rumbling sounds were heard, and the aftermath of the explosion spread outward in an instant. Chang Fan flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and blood kept spitting out of his mouth.

  Although he barely blocked the attack, he was also seriously injured and unable to escape.

  At this moment, the golden sword containing sharp sword energy condensed again in the air. Sensing that he was once again locked by the attack, Chang Fan showed a trace of despair in his eyes.

  The sword flashed, and the expression on this person's face was completely frozen, and he died on the spot.

  On the other side, Peng Wen had been seriously injured by the joint attack of You Ling and Xia Jinxi.

  In the interval of the fight, this person saw that his junior brother was defeated, and his mind was lost for a while. He was attacked by cold sword intent, injured and slowed down by the cold air from it.

  You Ling seized the opportunity, turned around, and quickly went behind the man. The long sword in her hand flashed with silver light, accompanied by a sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, and the bloody long sword instantly pierced his heart!

  After killing the two people, the trap array covering an area of 50 miles began to change.

  At this time, the spiritual power fluctuations of the array were more obvious, and the monks in it could clearly sense it.
