The Imperial Capital Plain is named because almost two-thirds of the land area is a flat plain.

There are the Dark Lan Mountains in the west of the plain, the Suohe Mountains in the east, and the Thunder Eye Mountains in the south, which are the three major mountain ranges in the Imperial Capital Plain

To the north are the Chalk Mountains, which are not as diverse as the three major mountain ranges, but they are also undulating, traversing the east and west, enveloping the Imperial Capital Plain.

The extension of the three mountain ranges has formed countless small mountain ranges and valleys, among which there are many spiritual energy veins, which are the holy places that monks dream of.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the various sects have gone through countless open and secret battles, the world has changed, the vicissitudes of the valley, the old sects have fallen, and new sects have risen one after another.

Now, the cultivation realm of the entire Imperial Capital Plain has generally stabilized, and there have been no major wars that have shaken the pattern, and most of the high-quality spiritual veins have been divided and occupied by the three major sects.

The "Shenxiao Sect" occupies the high-quality spiritual veins that extend from the Thunder Eye Mountain Range in the Imperial Capital Plain.

The "Cangyue Valley" occupies a part of the mountains and valleys west of the Suohe Mountains.

The "Phantom Sword Gate" occupies a part of the area that extends eastward from the Gloomy Lan Mountain Range, and naturally there are high-quality spiritual veins.

Among them, the strength of the Shenxiao Sect is slightly stronger.

In the depths of the three mountain ranges, it is like a forbidden place for the cultivation realm, and it is the world that belongs to those demon beasts, and it is said that there are shape-shifting demon beasts equivalent to the Yuan Infant Stage in them.

At this time, in the depths of the Gloomy Mountains, a group of eight monks shuttled through the depths of the jungle and continued to gallop towards the depths of the Gloomy Mountains.

At this time, it was even deeper into the hinterland of the mountains than where the Illusory Sword Sect was located, and there were many spirit beasts and demon beasts entrenched in the depths of the mountains, so ordinary monks naturally did not dare to come here rashly.

Fly in the air.

Yes, the eight monks were speeding at a low altitude, and they did not step on any flying magic weapons, this is naturally flying in the sky, and only those who have reached the cultivation of the Dan stage can fly in the sky, and there are eight people in a group, which makes it difficult for them to dare to go deep into the mountains of this dark lan unscrupulously.

At the front of the team, a burly man with five big and three thick bodies checked the jade slip in his hand from time to time, he was the sect master of the Martial Spirit Sect, Qin Wude, and the mid-stage cultivator of the Jiedan.

On its left side was a thin old man, who was none other than the Elder of the Martial Spirit Sect, Meng Qingsong, who had cultivated in the early stage of the Jiedan.

On the right side of Qin Wude is a monk who is about forty years old, with a well-proportioned figure and good facial features, he is the elder of the Phantom Sword Sect, Luo Tianqi, who cultivated in the later stage of Jiedan.

The three led the way.

A man and a woman are in the center.

The man was wearing a cyan robe, dressed as a Confucian student, and his spirit was refreshing, he was the owner of Yunlan Mountain Villa, Yun Bohai, and cultivated in the middle of the Yudan.

The woman is his wife, about 30 years old, wearing an elegant long skirt, dignified appearance, bright teeth and bright eyes, named Zhao Wenqi, and cultivated in the later stage of the foundation.

Yes, it is indeed in the late stage of foundation building, and the reason why it can travel in the sky is because the spiritual power shield released by her husband holds it up, and it can't be like this with its cultivation.

The reason why Zhao Wenqi was able to join this ranks was not because of her husband, because Yunlan Villa was just a Xiuzhen family, and naturally it could not be compared with your background.

Although Zhao Wenqi is a foundation building period monk, several people also respect her very much, and they don't mean to take it lightly at all, this is because she is a formation mage.

And he is also a formation mage with high attainments.

In today's cultivation realm, the loss of the way of the formation is serious, and the formation mage is even more scarce, the way of the formation is as vast as a sea of smoke, broad and profound, if you study it carefully, it is quite time-consuming, if you study this way, it is naturally a waste of time and energy.

Because Zhao Wenqi was born in a formation family and had different talents, he had a high attainment in the formation process, so that whenever he was in need, he would often be invited by high-level monks.

At the end of the line there were three people.

A thin old man, with gray hair and a long beard hanging down his chest, is none other than Sun Qianju of Tianfu Mountain, who is the cultivation of the middle stage of Jiedan.

The other two monks were dressed in uniform clothes, embroidered with a Ding Dan furnace on the left chest, which was the unified clothing of the Dan Dao Sect, and one was a middle-aged monk of medium stature, who was Qiu Yu of the Dan Dao Sect, who was a cultivator in the middle of the Dan Dao Sect.

Another Dan Dao Sect monk was a tall old man, Guan Lishan, who had only recently broken through to the late stage of the Dan Dynasty.

Faintly protected Zhao Wenqi, who was a formation mage.

In the vast mountains and mountains, there are hidden caves from time to time, and these monks were originally based on finding a secret and quiet place to concentrate on cultivation.

The vicissitudes of life, time has passed, and in the passage of time, it will often take away the lives of some monks, resulting in the cave becoming an ownerless place, and occasionally it will be discovered by the monks, so as to gather some friends to hunt for treasure together, because there is a formation ban outside the cave, so this is naturally indispensable to the existence of the formation mage.

And the reason why they came to the depths of this dark Lan mountain this time was for an ownerless cave mansion, it was a few monks of the Martial Spirit Sect who went out to travel and chased a demon beast into this place by mistake and found it, because they couldn't break it, so they told the sect master Qin Wude.

Qin Wude led many elite cultivators of the Martial Spirit Sect to be unable to break it, so he gathered this group of teammates.

Except for Luo Tianqi, who had little contact with this group, the rest of the people often went out to travel and explore together, and they were very familiar with it, but because the location of the cave was not too far from the sphere of influence of the Phantom Sword Gate, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble on the way, they invited it.

"Everyone keep up, the cave is in the valley not far ahead."

A few people passed through a wooded area, and a ravine appeared in front of them, and the cliffs on both sides were as steep as knives and axes, and although the cliffs were bare, the valley was full of grass and flowers.

The valley is not too big, the surrounding green hills are undulating, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the pines and cypresses stand proudly, a small stream flows down tactfully from above, everyone sees such a fresh and beautiful scenery, and the plain mood can't help but have a trace of nostalgia.

Just as he was immersed, a rustling sound sounded among the trees in front of him, and at the same time, a streamer shot out in an arc and landed on the high cliff.

Everyone looked at it, it was a pale yellow leopard, with dark gray cloud-like spots on its body, a small and round head, short limbs, but unusually thick, slightly smaller, but its tail was thick and long, it was a clouded leopard spirit animal.

"You're also here to encircle and suppress me?" the clouded leopard looked down at the people who sacrificed the magic weapon, and spoke in a male voice.

"Fellow Daoist misunderstood, we are here for another purpose. When several people heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and Luo Tianqi replied.

"Then please," the clouded leopard continued, sweeping his gaze over the crowd.

After the clouded leopard cautiously retreated for a distance, he turned around, and with a jump, he climbed over a mountain, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Under the leadership of Qin Wude, a few people walked to the location of the mountain wall where the cave was located, but they did not see the protective light shield that appeared in the jade slip before, and they investigated nearby, but they did not find the slightest.

Several people couldn't help but ask Qin Wude, but Qin Wude and Meng Qingsong confirmed again and again, and took out a jade slip, which recorded that there was a light shield barrier in front of the mountain wall, and through the barrier, they saw that there was a hole in the mountain wall, and compared the surrounding environment to confirm that the location was correct, and everyone couldn't help but be puzzled in their hearts.

Zhao Wenqi stepped forward, walked to several locations one after another to check, grabbed a handful of dust from the ground from time to time, or broke off a branch, walked and stopped, and stopped more than 20 zhang away from the mountain wall.

If the place led by Qin Wude is correct, then there must be a phantom array here, judging from the several locations that have been explored before, no clues have been found, and even the soil and rock structures in several places are extremely similar, and they are indeed the same place, which shows that this phantom array is extremely clever.

Zhao Wenqidai frowned slightly and fell silent.

After a while, Zhao Wenqi paced to a place, with a wave of one arm, a breeze blew, and the branches and leaves moved with the wind, and paced to a place again, still doing the same, several times in a row, the branches and leaves swayed in an orderly manner, without any strange places.

"Bohai, put a small wind spell, control the wind range to a minimum, and slowly advance from here. Zhao Wenqi said to her husband.

When Yun Bohai heard this, the magic trick changed, and a streamer shot out, turning into a small whirlwind, under the control of his divine sense, moving forward slowly, the whirlwind rotated at high speed, but passing in front of him, several people did not feel the slightest wind force, and they couldn't help but admire in their hearts.

There was a period of probing around the mountain wall, and gradually, Yun Bohai also felt something strange, and after trying many positions in his heart, he withdrew the whirlwind.

"The vegetation in these places is a little strange, and when the whirlwind sweeps away, it is not immediately moved, and it has to be pushed forward a little further before swaying with the wind, a little further back than what is actually seen. ”

As Yun Bohai spoke, he pointed out several locations one after another with his hand, and when they were connected, they formed an arc around the front of the mountain wall.

And so it was. Zhao Wenqi stretched her eyebrows and said softly.

Then he walked to a place, took out a white jade array plate that was slightly larger than a palm, and arranged it, and then took out a few array flags and several spirit stones, embedded them on it, and after arranging them, he walked to a place again, and also arranged the array array flags, and under careful observation, the runes on the flag were slightly different.

After arranging it in several places one after another, he took a few steps back, and the ten fingers of his hands changed like flying, and streamers flew out from his fingertips and shot into the base of the formation.

In an instant, several locations flashed, and after being connected, they condensed into a stream of energy and burst forward.

I saw that the branches and leaves of the grass and trees were flying, but the streamer did not shoot directly into the mountain wall, but was dissolved by an invisible force halfway, with the continuous energy filling up, the streamer slowly pushed forward, until it was blocked by a formed light mask barrier, only after Zhao Wenqi's magic shot out, the streamer dissipated out of thin air, leaving only a light mask in front of the mountain wall.

At this time, everyone realized that the mountain wall had moved back some distance, and the previous location was where the light mask appeared, and the grass and trees in the light mask were still the same as before, but what they saw at this time was the real scene.

Through the light mask, I saw that there was an additional hole on the mountain wall, which was the scene in the jade slip provided by Qin Wude before, and looking at the cave entrance so closely, its width was about enough for three people to pass by side of each other.

"It's strange, there wasn't such a phantom array before", Qin Wude and Meng Qingsong said suspiciously, although there had been an accident, but since they had come here, there was no reason to return halfway, so they had to be cautious.
