Watching the broken stone fragments turn into light smoke, while the stone platform that had clearly been smashed by Sha Li was still intact, Wu Liao remembered a formation that his master had mentioned.

"Yes, this stone platform has indeed been set up by someone to set up a phantom array. This kind of phantom array is called the 'Mirage Twins', and its wonder is that it can imitate the original, create exactly the same thing out of thin air, and attach it to the original.

Since it does not change the size and shape of the original, it looks almost the same as before. At the same time, it can hide the smell of the artifact, so the possibility of being found is extremely small. ”

Shali explained.

Wu Lao nodded and said, "Even if the people of the Zhuge family find something abnormal, they won't really dare to be so rude to this stone platform for the sake of a small guess." ”

"Thao, how did Brother Sha find out?"

"I don't know, like, it told me on its own. ”

The moment when Sha Li's fingers touched the pit flashed in the sea, it felt like the red gem in front of him was calling him. More precisely, to summon something in his body.

"Is this a Vermilion Stone? It looks different. But how did it get here? Could it be that it wasn't stolen at all?"

Sha Li did not answer Wu Lone's doubts. He gently pinched the red stone in front of him, as if holding a precious gem, and placed it in front of him to examine it carefully.

The red prismatic stone appears crystal clear in the soft light of the illuminated brocade, but it seems to condense a fuzzy flocculent mass inside, like a flaw in a perfect work of art.

"Tea, there seems to be a bird in this little stone. Xiao Dan's pale eyes widened, staring at the clot inside the stone.

"This should be Vermilion Stone. Although the condensation in the stone was very vague, Sha Li still recognized it as the shape of a red bird, "The thief may feel that the most conspicuous place is the safest place." Therefore, he stored the Vermilion Bird Stone in its place and laid this illusion array, creating the illusion that the Vermilion Bird Stone had been stolen. ”

"Then wait for the wind to stop, and then come back and take it away?" Wu Lao took Sha Li's words, "It's really cunning enough." In this way, it can be done without knowing the ghost. ”

"What does the boss want to do with this Vermilion Stone, do you want to continue to put it here?"

Wu Lao didn't expect that they had come to investigate the scene of the theft, but they didn't want to find the lost property directly. But in the final analysis, they came here secretly after all, and if they were taken away directly and returned to the Zhuge family, the three of them would inevitably fall into the hands of others.

"It is very likely that the 'Mirage Twin Array' has the mark of the person who set up the formation attached to it, and the movement of the formation is so big, it may have been detected.

Combined with Zhuge Zixin's words and what we encountered in the Vermilion Bird Hall tonight, the thief may still be in Zhuge 's house, and the Vermilion Bird Stone may be placed here again for fear of regeneration. ”

Sha Li naturally understood the meaning of Wu Lao's words, but the lesser of two evils was the best choice to take the Vermilion Bird Stone away at the moment.

So he took out the inch he had with him and put the Vermilion Bird Stone into it.

The three of them got off the altar, Wu Lao walked out first, and Xiao Dan followed closely behind, and they didn't feel the repulsion of the altar. The ban on this altar is only in effect when entering.

Shali was the last to step out of the red transparent barrier.

Just as he stepped out of his hind foot, his spiritual sense flashed a life-and-death crisis that he had never experienced before, and his right eyelid throbbed violently.

At the moment of life and death, people will occasionally consciously amplify a certain instinct.

Sha Li's instinct at this time was to subconsciously tilt his head back slightly.

However, it is still a little sluggish. A stinging pain swept across the right side of his face, and for a split second, he saw a needle as thin as a cow's hair fly in front of his eyes, like a spark.

"Ding!"

A crisp, shrill echo sounded, like a sharp object being shot hard against a solid wall. Wu Lao and Xiao Danden were stimulated to cover their ears while exploring the source of the sound.

"Be careful!"

Sha Li's sudden warning made Xiao Dan and the others confused for a while. But looking at the blood stain on Sha Li's right cheek, and the small blood-colored scratch at the source of the blood stain, the two instantly understood what had happened.

Enemy attack! Someone is on the side!

"At a young age, my spiritual sense is not weak. ”

Before the three of them could look around the hall and find the sneak attacker, an unfamiliar voice had already reached them. Although there was appreciation in the words, they could not hide the coldness in their voices.

Under the gaze of the three of Sha Li, from the other side of the octagonal altar, that is, the side adjacent to the side where the three of them had just walked down, a woman with a black veil half of her face walked out.

The upper half of the woman's face is exquisite, but a pair of eyes with traces of time let the three of Sha Li know that she is not young.

It's just that not long after she said this, a series of echoes returned from the phantom stone, which made her frown slightly.

I saw that first she pinched a trick with her right hand, and then stretched out to the top of her head, and an invisible sound barrier was built, covering almost the entire Vermilion Bird Palace.

"True Yuan Nine Pins!"

Just when the woman took action to lay down the sound barrier, Sha Li and Wu Liao were secretly shocked at the same time. The masked woman was so cultivated, but the three of them had never noticed her arrival, thinking that it was because she had just been isolated inside the red barrier.

"The three juniors are all Yintan Island guards, and they are here tonight to investigate the theft of the Vermilion Bird Stone, but I don't know what the seniors call them?"

As soon as Sha Li stepped out of the red barrier, the masked woman's Yuan Needle struck his head, and it seemed that he had actually moved his murderous intent. But Sha Li didn't mention it at all.

"I've not walked in the world for years, and it's useless to ask for a name. Hearing that the three of them reported to their homes, the woman's tone was a little puzzled at first, but then quickly calmed down.

"Hand over the Vermilion Bird Stone, and we will each do our own thing, as if we had never seen each other. ”

"It's okay for seniors to want vermilion stones. Sha Li did not deny that Fang had just obtained the Vermilion Bird Stone, and the woman shot directly at him among the three, presumably having been watching from the side for a long time, "I just don't know what you want this Vermilion Bird Stone for?"

"Vermilion Bird Stone is the inheritance of the Zhuge family, and it can't fall into the hands of outsiders such as you. The masked woman didn't hesitate for the slightest, as if she were looking for a random excuse.

"The predecessor acted like this, I don't think he was a member of the Zhuge family, right?" Sha Li was a little puzzled, why did this woman obviously want to take her life, why did she suddenly talk back and forth with herself.

"It's none of your business! Again, hand over the Vermilion Stone, and I'll be gone. The masked woman seemed impatient, and her voice began to sharpen.

Sha Li chuckled lightly and took out the inch on himself.

"The Vermilion Bird Stone is here, and the seniors can come and get it by themselves if they want to. ”

"Hmph, do you learn from adults at a young age?" the masked woman's tone was a little disdainful, "However, you and I are like a chasm in cultivation. Even if you try your best, how can you help me?"

As she spoke, she really walked towards Sha Li, but as soon as she took a step, she seemed to suddenly notice something, and suddenly turned back.

But it's too late!

"Smack!"

A small fist appeared out of thin air, and the terrifying force carried on it quickly struck the space in front of the masked woman, and a powerful air wave was blasted out, hitting the masked woman's lower abdomen.

"It's now!"

Sha Li snorted lightly, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Trick in his body was moved, and his right hand turned into an octopus tentacle, and in an instant, he reached out to the masked woman whose body was out of balance, and wrapped it tightly.

And in his left hand, a bright and mysterious Sanssouci flower flame slowly took shape.

"Feng Ming Chaoyang!"

Wu Lone's phoenix wings had been taken off at some point, and a slap-sized vitality phoenix let out a crisp birdsong and rushed straight at the masked woman.

"Death Flame of Death!"

Sha Li also said silently, and the spark hanging in his left hand also drew an elegant arc, and he took the masked woman directly with the Yuan Qi Phoenix.

"Boom!"

The phoenix and Sanssouci exploded almost at the same time. The aftermath of the resulting energy slammed into the air around the masked woman, and a loud sonic boom echoed for a long time within the sound barrier set by the woman.

Sha Li and Wu Liao glanced at each other, neither of them expected that the coordinated attack of Fire Yuan Qi and Feng Yuan Qi would actually magnify each other's power a lot.

The smoke cleared, and the masked woman's figure reappeared.

The successive attacks of the three of them seemed complicated, but they were actually completed almost in an instant. Even if the masked woman's cultivation was so strong that she had reached the ninth rank of the True Yuan, there was only room for defense in such a hurry.

But even so, she was still created by the Yuan Technique of the three of them, and the black veil that was originally used to mask her face is now missing a corner. The coiled hair looks a little messy because some of the hairpins have been shaken off. Even the corners of the clothes made of coarse cloth were slightly broken.

But Sha Li did not have the slightest happiness and pride in the plan, but his face was slightly gloomy.

Although the three of them did not exert their full strength, the power of that series of attacks was really good, and he believed that it was enough to inflict heavy damage on the Yuan of the True Yuan Seven Ranks.

But the masked woman in front of her seemed to have only a slight damage to her clothes and skin. It seems that the strength of Zhenyuan Jiupin is even stronger than he expected.

The masked woman first picked up the hairpin that had fallen to the ground, wiped it carefully, and inserted it into the belt around her waist.

"Nice!

Her gaze first fell on Xiao Dan, who had returned to Sha Li's side, "The little girl really has the power of space, no wonder she can break into this 'Chiyuan Yang Blood Array'."

As if she had verified her previous conjecture, her gaze moved to Wu Lao and said:

"Breaking into the true yuan at such a young age, and holding such an extraordinary yuan weapon, I think you are also from a famous family. However, the loss of your vitality in the blow just now is not small, and it seems that you can't fully control this elemental weapon. ”

Wu Lao didn't think much of the masked woman's ability to see her cultivation and origin, but the sentence behind her made Wu Lao have to care, and the hand holding the phoenix wing puff tightened slightly.

"But the one that surprised me the most was you. The masked woman's gaze finally locked on Sha Li, "But when you first enter Tongyuan, you actually have the strength of the True Yuan Realm." Even the meta-technique is so weird, you are not simple. ”

"The three of you are so gifted that I have only seen them in my life. Moreover, it is rare to cooperate with the enemy so tacitly, and the meta-techniques complement each other. I can't help but marvel. ”

When Shali heard the masked woman praising them, he didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, but chuckled. Because she was so calm, as calm as the sea before the tsunami.

"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't ......"

"Anger me here!"
