The footprints of the third person were very light, so light that they were almost invisible, but they still left traces on such a delicate dusty ground here. Although the traces are shallow, they are still left.

Qin Ruo stretched out his hand and gently wiped it on one of the footprints, and clear scratches immediately appeared on the footprints.

"Those who stayed less than an hour ago followed us." Qin Ruo said softly. "It's not our people, if our people can come in, they will definitely greet us."

He Xilin nodded lightly, looked at Qin Ruo, and suddenly drew his sword violently and stabbed at Qin Ruo. Qin Ruo had an extremely tacit understanding with him, and immediately became short, so that He Xilin's long sword almost stabbed back against his scalp, and he spun back with his short body, and the long knife in his hand was unsheathed, protecting him and He Xilin's whole body.

"Ding Ding Ding" burst one after another, and Qin Ruo's figure was forced to retreat more than ten meters, almost hitting a house behind him, and he stopped in front of the house.

A house on the opposite side was "clicked", and it was directly frozen and cracked by He Xilin's cold air.

He Xilin's icy qi, how strong, such a thing in such an area that has been closed for thousands of years, has long lost its due characteristics, and was frozen by this cold qi, and suddenly couldn't bear it, and cracked directly, but it was directly frozen by the cold of the ice qi.

But Qin Ruo looked fixedly, but he couldn't see any figure.

"He's hurt." He Xilin said softly, and as he spoke, he pointed to an extremely inconspicuous blood stain on the ground.

Qin Ruo's forehead was sweating, in the fight just now, he clearly felt that the other party's strength was very strong, and the strong Qin Ruo could barely bear it, judging from Qin Ruo's current strength, the strength that almost made him unbearable was at least the power of the Six Heavens.

"The strength of the other party is estimated to be at least the Sixth Heaven of the Jindan Realm, but the body method is extremely strange, even if it is a sect master who is famous for his body method in the sect, no one can reach such a level." He Xilin didn't move, just quietly rotated his body and looked around.

Qin Ruo nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "People here." The attack technique is similar to the traditional fast sword in the Guanzhong region. But with a very quaint flavor, at least it is a very old sect. ”

The two men slowly rotated and searched back to back, but they lasted for more than half an hour, and there was still no trace of each other.

"The other party's method of hiding his tracks is really at stake, I can feel that he is nearby, but I can't find any trace of him at all." Qin Ruo closed his eyes and said softly.

He Xilin nodded: "The other party is afraid that he will not make another move." We stepped back. ”

The two of them cautiously stepped back until the platform where they had come, and the hollow passage behind them stopped. Arriving here, both of them were sweat-soaked.

"You only have the strength of the Sixth Heaven, not your opponent, why do you want to go." Qin Ruo still looked around vigilantly.

He Xilin smiled bitterly: "If it's someone here, I always have to pay more attention." In case it is the ancients here, besides, the opponent's body is too fast, although my attack is strong, unless he is willing to fight with me, otherwise, I can't catch him. You forgot it, although my strength is strong, but the realm is only the sixth heaven. ”

It's a good thing to be able to skip the challenge, but the realm is too low, and even if you can skip the challenge, many times, it is very distressing. At least in terms of sensitivity to the surrounding environment and perception of the dangers around it, it is much worse, far from reaching the height of combat power.

The two of them were guarding the entrance of the cave, but at this moment, they were not as indifferent as before, but extremely nervous.

After a while, seeing that no one was coming, the two men looked at each other and immediately stepped back. They had to make sure what was going on outside.

But disappointed

The gate outside was still closed, there was no sign of opening, and there was not even the sound of the bombardment of the gate, which meant that the people outside were still trying to find a way to crack the secret of the gate.

It's just that what they don't know is that the formation that had consumed light energy was running again outside.

It's not that the people of the Yin Yang Gate and the Hundred Crafts Hall are unwilling to break the gate directly and violently, but that they no longer have the opportunity to break the gate.

That layer of faint blue light shield looked very fragile, but it was extremely powerful, at least, the combination of several Jindan Realm Nine Heaven Masters and Ancestors who rushed from Qingxinguan and Bixiao Palace failed to shake this blue light mask.

"If we had known, we should have gone in with some people." Qu Tianwen was very regretful.

Gong Yiling frowned and looked at the door: "Now is not the time to regret it, but to find a way to get the two of them out." Both of them are important. ”

It's not just Gong Yiling who thinks so, but the high-level people present all think so: these two people, one is the leader of the dragon group, and the other is the deputy of the dragon head. In fact, the entire dragon group operates according to their will. Even if it's the four major sects, it can't work.

Once something happens to the two of them, it will cause a lot of turmoil.

But looking at the light mask created by the reactivated formation, all the people were helpless.

"Is there any way to do it" A pure-minded senior uncle came over and looked at the two of them.

"There's no way, we've exhausted all the methods we can use. There is no way to open this door. Unless we don't plan to ask for what's inside, just bombard. But I guess if we can blast off this light mask and break through this formation, inside" Qu Tianwen shook his head.

The master uncle frowned helplessly: "Qin Ruo and He Xilin can't not appear for a long time." The point is that I don't know what's going on inside. ”

No one has anything but to think of a way, and the most likely way to do it at the moment is still to crack the formation. If you can't crack the formation, you can't open this place.

Qin Ruo and He Xilin were on the other side of the gate at the moment, but the two of them had no way at all. Reluctantly, he sat down with his back to the door, and he had to be careful to guard the other side.

The person on the other side is obvious, if not an enemy, but definitely not a friend.

"The person on the other side, who the hell is it, it won't be the ancients here" He Xilin looked at Qin Ruo, and then looked into the depths of the passage.

Qin Ruo rolled his eyes: "The ancients who lived for thousands of years are too Qing, and the ancestors are only more than three hundred years old, less than four hundred years old. The ancients who have lived for thousands of years, the last time it has to be Cheng dù of the broken pill refining body, when it comes to that Cheng dù, the two of us are doing this little way, are you worthy of a slap?"

Although I don't know how powerful the Shattered Pill Refining Body is, it is definitely much stronger than the Golden Pill Realm.

He Xilin shrugged: "Then maybe it's the descendants of the people who didn't poison them at the beginning."

"Do you believe that in this world, even if there is only one person left in the first place, it is normal for his descendants to be dissatisfied with the city again after how many generations have multiplied today. If that were the case, we would have died today without a place to bury. And if that's really the case, why bother here, I think it's more likely that outsiders, such as tomb robbers and the like. After all, we decided to find the secret of this underground labyrinth, and although we also paid attention to secrecy, we didn't have much special protection. Qin Ruo said softly.

He Xilin looked at Qin Ruo, but shook his head: "I don't really believe that this person is a tomb robber, I have a feeling that he is really an ancient." In the fight just now, you may not have seen him, but I saw it, this person's outfit is very similar to the outfit of the people we see here, and the long sword in his hand is also extremely quaint. ”

After all, Qin Ruo's realm was too low, and he didn't see the other party's appearance at all, he just relied on his intuition and fought with the other party.

"Weaponry, it's all something that can be changed. Let's go and get dressed now, it's easy to put on the clothes here, etc., if that's the case, it means that the secret here has already been discovered, right" Qin Ruo said suddenly.

He Xilin shook his head: "You mean that the tomb robber made clothes and weapons in the style of here, I don't believe it." Clothes and weapons can be prevented, but a tomb robber will not pretend to be a god and make a ghost, and specially practice a set of quaint exercises, believe me, although it is just a face, but believe me, this person's exercises are definitely the ancient kind of simple exercises. But today, all the exercises have been continuously improved, and they have long lost the taste of ancient exercises. More focus on practicality, more focus on efficiency. And this point is stronger than the ancient exercises. ”

"The opponent's strength is very strong, but there is one point, his efficiency in using his true qi is much lower than ours. Otherwise, you won't be able to catch the opponent's attack just now. This is very much in line with the characteristics of ancient exercises. Moreover, the moves are extremely simple and straightforward, which is also one of the signs of antiquity. The moves are simple, not characteristic of modern times, but have existed since ancient times. The extremely simple swordsmanship of ancient times gradually became more complex with the evolution of time, and then returned from complex to simple. It's a process of removing the chaff. He Xilin said with certainty.

Qin Ruo nodded, he knew this.

And now, for swordsmanship and sword techniques and other techniques, it has almost reached a peak era, except for those particularly complex exercises, that is, some extremely simple exercises, and finally, there are even people like Qin Ruo, who do not practice any so-called sword techniques and sword techniques at all, and only practice the most basic techniques of using knives.

Especially if Qin Ruo only cultivates nine songs, he cultivates more of his heart.

And Jiu Ge so far, Qin Ruo has been able to understand a lot and understand a lot, but with his cultivation, he has become more and more incomprehensible, and even some of the original laws are very clear, but they are beginning to become blurred at this moment.

However, Qin Ruo didn't care, but was very happy, because it meant that his understanding of Jiu Ge was even deeper.

Especially when communicating with heaven and earth, using true qi to get stronger and stronger, Qin Ruo could feel that the more blurred Jiu Ge became, the more ineffective it seemed to be, and it seemed to have been integrated into heaven and earth, how it was, Qin Ruo couldn't tell, he just felt that for cultivation, he seemed to have entered a new realm.

"Still, it's hard for me to believe that this was done by an ancient man thousands of years ago. If I can live for thousands of years, no matter how dull I am, at least I can't run away from the Shattered Pill Refining Realm. Isn't it?" Qin Ruo said slowly.

His eyes lit up, because with the help of a faint light, he saw on the ground, a series of footprints that did not belong to him and He Xilin, extending towards the two of them.

"Stealth technique," Qin Ruo shouted in a low voice
