"The two of us can't leave the group at the same time, at least not until Captain Feng wakes up. I'm going to scout these places in shards, and you're in the ranks. ”

Wei Zhanhai nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will be optimistic about them, if anyone wants to sneak away, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Although Wei Zhanhai is cautious, he is not a soft-hearted person.

"Ahem, you don't have to be so nervous. Your stay in the party is a deterrent to them. Their strength is in their eyes, and they have just agreed to follow the team, and the future benefits are related to all team members. As long as you stay in the team, they won't dare to act rashly. ”

"I understand, but you can't go out on your own, you don't even have someone to cover you when you're in trouble. ”

Let's not mention what kind of beasts you might encounter. What they want to investigate is the Shang Tu Sect. The members of the Shangtu Sect who are lurking everywhere are not only low-level disciples, but there must also be elders leading the team.

Even the current sect masters of the Shangtu Sect have not shown up until now, they just saw that the strength of the elder Yu Hongtian was already very terrifying.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. ”

If it was just Xu Ye himself, he might really step on the trap of Shang Tu Sect. But he also has the help of the Purple Night Emperor.

Emperor Zixiao couldn't directly act as Xu Ye's helper, but his sense of soul power was very strong. Xu Ye can relax himself to a certain extent, allowing the Zixiao Emperor to dominate part of the senses, and can detect anomalies at a greater distance. Even the mysterious sect master of Shangtu Sect may not be able to defeat the Purple Night Emperor.

And just in case, Xu Ye also exchanged a few spells through the system. Through them, you can temporarily form an afterimage split and body, which can even simulate the momentum of a real person.

It is most suitable for reconnaissance missions, and it can also fool the eyes and ears of masters.

With Wei Zhanhai's guidance, the efficiency of Xu Ye's search has improved a lot.

But as he passed through a valley, the Purple Night Emperor shouted, "Stop! ”

Xu Ye was taken aback, he hadn't noticed anything just now, and the person forcibly changed direction in mid-air, kicked directly onto the trunk of the tree, and carefully looked around.

However, by the time he stopped forming, no one attacked him.

"Don't scare me, old man. There's a lot more we're going to explore today. ”

"Boy, it's because you're too ignorant, but luckily I'm sharp-eyed. It's no wonder that no abnormal aura was found before, it turned out to be covered by the magic circle. ”

"Circle?" Xu Ye was a little surprised.

He calculated that the intention of the Shang Tu Sect's hidden masters outside was to deal with the Holy Mountain City, and they must be able to dispatch at any time. But if they set up a magic circle, although they can isolate the inside and outside, it will also restrict their own movements.

Xu Ye didn't think in this direction before, and this is exactly the reason.

Emperor Zixiao shook his head and said, "I thought so before, but the previous formation is not just an isolation formation, but also has the functions of a phantom formation and a displacement formation. ”

Xu Ye listened humbly.

Since worshipping Emperor Zixiao as his teacher, his knowledge has improved rapidly, but he is still more focused on gong, fa, and alchemy. The study of formations is somewhat backward.

"Normally, if you want to hide a large-scale master, you must rely on the magic circle to isolate the inside and outside, so that their breath will not flow out. It's far less convenient than relying on good terrain. ”

"However, the formations can be combined, although it is necessary to restrain the conflict between each other in the spirit element, but there are always many formations in the past dynasties where everyone can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and improve such formations with extraordinary intelligence. It seems that Shang Tu Sect also has such masters. ”

"Ahem, Master, we're not here to praise people. Do you have a way to crack it, or let me slip through it quietly?"

"Be patient, I'll take this opportunity to explain to you while cracking it. ”

Emperor Zixiao is indeed a peerless powerhouse, and he is very proficient in even the formation, and there is no shortcoming.

However, even he couldn't break the formation completely—that was tantamount to telling the people of the Shang Tu Sect that someone had already discovered them.

It just destroyed the outermost warning formation, making it easier for them to reach the core area.

After that, Xu Ye infiltrated from a specific direction according to the instructions of Emperor Zixiao. Just stepped on a giant tree, his body was pulled by a supernatural force, and he was "sucked" deeper without using his soul power.

"That was the displacement teleportation formation just now, if I wasn't prepared, I wouldn't even be able to resist that force. "Xu Ye can definitely be called a master in the Holy Mountain City now, and he was indeed taken aback by that power just now.

"Hmph, that's what happened to you. In fact, the power of the formation is not irresistible, but it must be used in the right way. If you rely on pure soul power to fight, it's not impossible, just like you said, you have to be prepared in advance. ”

"Remember how I felt. If you break into the formation specially set by the opponent in the future, there may be strong people attacking you from all directions at any time. ”

Of course, Xu Ye obediently agreed. Through today's study, he has a further understanding of the way of formation, and he will not be defenseless when he encounters it in the future.

Look ahead. Because of Emperor Zixiao's arrangement, even though Xu Ye had already sneaked closer, they still didn't notice anything abnormal.

It can't be said that Shang Tuzong's arrangement is not careful. They could not have imagined that such an experienced "person" as Emperor Zixiao would find them, and although surviving in the wild for a long time strengthened their experience, it was too much to believe in these experiences for a long time.

It was natural to feel that neither the Desolate Beast nor the people of the Holy Mountain City could approach without alarming them.

If Xu Ye launched a surprise attack now, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on them and slip away smoothly.

It's a pity that the purpose of this time is only to probe the power of the Shang Tu Sect.

"It's strange that such a complicated formation has been laid out, but their strength is not strong. ”

Even Emperor Zixiao didn't sense that there were elder-level masters here, and although some of the remaining disciples had good strength, Xu Ye was confident that he would completely end this place by himself.

Xu Ye didn't believe that Shang Tu Sect would arrange a complex magic circle here for no reason, if he wanted to set up a suspicious array, he should instead let this small group of disciples be violent and exposed.

Thinking back to Wei Zhanhai's words, he found a suspicious point.

Wei Zhanhai may also have some experience in formation, but it is definitely impossible to compare with Emperor Zixiao. This is a magic circle that even the Emperor of Zixue almost ignored and admired, how could Wei Zhanhai find out in a short period of time when he was ordered by Fang Qinglong to sneak out of the city?

And he had never heard Wei Zhanhai mention the matter of Shang Tuzong's magic circle.

That meant that the disciples of Shangtu Sect at that time could not make adequate preparations for hiding. Because the fierce beasts were being organized to rush to the city, they naturally felt that the Holy Mountain City was too busy to take care of itself.

There must have been a large number of masters in the place covered by the magic circle here, but because Hong Guang successfully led the main force to "return" to the Holy Mountain City, their plan was also launched soon.

So, the masters who were originally lurking here began to move and enter a place where they could ambush the Holy Mountain City?

If Xu Ye's speculation is correct, Shang Tuzong's plan has really been planned for a long time. How each step should be carried out is very familiar to all the Shangtu sect members.

After noting the distribution of personnel here, Xu Ye hurriedly retreated.

Shang Tuzong's actions were more urgent than he had imagined, and he was afraid that he would have less time and must search as soon as possible.

What is quite beneficial to Xu Ye is. The magic circles hidden everywhere in the Shang Tu Sect should be much the same. Now that one of them has been identified with the help of Emperor Zixiao, it will be much easier to find it later.

Many places that look like ordinary valleys at a glance are really different caves. Xu Ye also admired the enemy's ability very much. The Shangtu Sect was able to survive in the Desolate Beast Territory for more than a hundred years, and they really had their strengths.

After that, even if you want to infiltrate the circle, you will be familiar with it. The next day, he went out to investigate again, and was finally discovered by Xu Ye of an extremely powerful hidden detachment.

"It's such a strong breath, I'm afraid the master here is not under the flood!"

Perhaps believing that the magic circle they had planted could be completely isolated, the people sitting here did not restrain his power. As soon as Xu Ye entered, he realized the power to make his whole body frightened.

He didn't expose himself, which meant that the energy was coming naturally and not directed at himself. Xu Ye automatically classified this strong enemy to the level of existence like Yu Hongtian and Fang Qinglong.

"This person's strength is indeed very strong, and it is enough to be aware of his presence. Do not approach and evacuate immediately. "Even the Purple Night Emperor is cautious.

The subtle fluctuations of the spirit element entering the magic circle can actually cause the other party to be alert. Fortunately, Shang Tu Sect's own disciples would also come and go, at least after Xu Ye left, he didn't see anyone chasing him for a long time.

Open the map, since the first powerhouse has been found here, you can also roughly assess the distribution of Shangtuzong's combat power in the future.

However, now Xu Ye found that he lacked the most important intelligence support, that is, the recent actions of the Holy Mountain City, especially the movements of the top of the Holy Dragon.

Fang Qinglong was already alert to Shang Tu Sect, and normally he would not easily let the key combat forces get into danger. But some of the arrangements that have already existed may not be able to be reversed.

When he sent Xu Ye and Wei Zhanhai, he probably didn't expect that time would be so urgent.

Xu Ye could only return to the team first and discuss with Wei Zhanhai.

Although Captain Feng never woke up, the team still followed the original planned route. Xu Ye gave Wei Zhanhai a look and asked everyone to move on, and Li Yue and the others would take care of the team to avoid being attacked—or someone wanted to sneak away.

"Xu Ye, what do you have to say?" Wei Zhanhai knew that Xu Ye must have a purpose.

"You've been in Holy Mountain City much longer than I have. I want to ask you what major travel activities will there be in the Holy Mountain City in the near future, whether it is going out on an expedition or hunting, do you need to use a few key people from the top of the Holy Dragon to go out of the city?"
