Chapter 69: Stepping into the Trap
On the second day, several monks who had gone out had already rushed back, and everyone gathered, a total of thirty-eight people, plus Biyun dressed as Chishui, and under the escort of a group of Jindan disciples, they fled to the back mountain of the Blue Soul Sect.
At this time, half of the back mountain of the Blue Soul Sect was already shrouded in black mist, and everyone looked at the black mist that was slowly surging outward little by little, and their hearts were very heavy.
Although according to the information given by Chishui, there is also a bottom on the existence in that black fog. The group of them, all of them are the existence of the Cangzhou Continent standing at the top, and they have joined forces, and their confidence is sufficient, but when they saw this thick and black demonic qi, they unconsciously gave birth to a trace of fear in their hearts, and their faces were solemn, and they stopped at the edge of the black fog, not speaking.
Biyun's eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and his eyelids drooped, hiding the thick irony in his eyes, "That senior once said that every point that these demonic qi expands outward, it means that the existence is stronger and stronger. β
Qin Yan swept over everyone, "Fellow Daoists, since you have to face it sooner or later, it is better to go in sooner rather than later, I will go in now!" β
"Qin Daoyou is reasonable." Several monks should be reconciled.
Qin Yan nodded, his body moved, and he took the lead in entering the black mist. When the rest of the monks saw this, they also entered one after another. There were a few monks with hesitant faces, looked at the Jindan stage disciples who were seeing them off behind, secretly gritted their teeth, and rushed into it.
Qin Xiang Qi Jun and the other Jindan disciples who came with him were not in a good mood there, Qi Jun glanced at the black mist, "I'll wait, let's wait at the edge for the seniors to return!" β
Everyone dispersed and chose a suitable place to stop. No one noticed that a purple-clothed real person, located in a corner, had a face that was a little heavier than everyone else, and his good-looking eyebrows were tightly twisted, as if he was struggling with something.
This person is Zijia, he saw Chishui and the monks go in together, but he didn't make up his mind, on the one hand, he thinks that he should go with him to do his part, this kind of thing to save the common people is really falling, that is also heavier than Mount Tai, and he died well. On the other hand, he kept in mind his responsibility, he was burdened with the entire Canglan Sect, and he must not act rashly, otherwise, he would be ashamed of the ancestors of the Canglan Sect.
He kept fighting in his heart, and finally he didn't make up his mind, so he had to stay outside the black fog, hoping to know the situation inside as soon as possible.
It can be said that Biyun knows Chishui well, and as soon as Qin Yan rushed in, she followed up with everyone and silently followed behind Qin Yan, keeping a certain distance.
Of course, there were some that surprised her. Qin Yu seemed to be very relieved of her, and chose to follow Qin Yan and open the way in front, Chu Xuan and Jun Yi were on the other side of Qin Yan, and next to them were the ancestors of the Min family and the Jian surnamed Zhenjun who had just returned. And Fang Rui, the young master of the Fang family, kept a distance from her, but not far.
Bi Yun remembered the information that Chi Shui and Fang Rui met in the Blue Soul Sect yesterday, and immediately guessed the approximate situation. Her spiritual sense swept Qin Yu in front of her, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.
Why? She clearly remembered that although Qin Yu didn't like to talk, she was not wooden, but she usually took good care of Chishui, why, now she doesn't care about her like this? Even Qin Yan seems to have no intention of taking care of her.
Qin Yu seemed to be aware of Biyun's spiritual sense, turned his head, and glanced at her suspiciously.
Biyun hurriedly showed a shallow smile that looked very similar to Chishui. After Qin Yu sensed it, he saw that there was no abnormality, so he continued to move forward.
Biyun's heart was slightly relieved, he didn't dare to be careless, and silently followed behind Qin Yan. She didn't know that Fang Rui was frowning behind her, staring at her back thoughtfully.
Because before coming, everyone knew about the terrain and did not encounter any obstacles. Along the way, most of the plants had withered, and only a tiny fraction were still alive, but they had all changed slightly because of the absorption of those demonic energy, either the color of the leaves had changed, or the shape or something else.
The further you go in this situation, the more pronounced the symptoms of the mutation become. On the way, they also encountered some demonized small animals, which had lost their nature, and their eyes glowed red, and even the tame little rabbits were a little more ferocious.
Some of the more powerful beasts even launched an attack on them, which naturally caused them any harm, but it made them wonder, that powerful existence, only let these little things deal with them?
Apparently impossible! A gray-clothed cultivator looked at the formation that they didn't spread too wide, and said with a smile: "Our entire Cangzhou Yuanying True Monarch is here, that monster, don't you dare to confront us head-on?" β
"No matter how powerful the monster is, as long as we get together and advance and retreat together, what do we have?" A silver-robed monk from the Bandanmen did not echo the words of the previous person, but he did not refute either.
Qin Yan said slowly: "What Fang Daoyou said is reasonable, it's just that since that senior said that we are only less than thirty percent sure, how can we take it lightly, you Daoyou still have to be cautious." β
"It's nature. It's just that I've been waiting for me to come in for most of the day, and the other party hasn't delivered a meal yet, and I don't know, is there another conspiracy? Another Spirit Beast Sect yellow-shirted monk said with some concern.
You know, the more this happens, the more they are worried.
Hearing this, Elder Ran's face was slightly gloomy, "No matter what the plans of this monster are, but it wants to engulf the entire Cangzhou Continent, how can we let it develop?" I will never let it go. β
She also said that all the monks had come in, this was the best situation she could think of, she would never allow it, the monks here had the slightest idea of retreating.
Qin Yan seemed to see through what Elder Ran was thinking, "Elder Ran, don't worry, since we have come in and haven't found out, how can we evacuate easily." It's just that you still have to be careful, and you have to worry about a few Daoists who are proficient in the magic circle, and pay attention to the road conditions ahead, so as not to fall into the trap, you can rest assured, we will protect you. β
After Qin Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Chishui.
Bi Yun's head nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Qin Yan actually pinned his hopes on Chi Shui, with Chi Shui's low cultivation, how could he find a high-level magic array? Before, she was trapped in the magic circle.
In fact, she never thought that if it weren't for her, how could Chi Shui step into the magic circle with one foot. The friendship of the age of innocence has been concerned for hundreds of years, and after years of precipitation, it is even more precious. In Chishui's heart, Biyun has become a knot in her heart, and suddenly, when she is sure that it is her, she will be so excited, and she does not care about the trembling of the soul flute, and falls into the trap.
Qin Yan explained some other matters, since he surpassed the monks and killed those two Yuan Infant Stage monks, his status was somewhat transcendent. In addition, he was modest, courteous, thoughtful and meticulous, and already had a high prestige among the monks, and there was no objection to him arranging these matters.
Biyun watched quietly, with a hint of struggle on her face, but it was immediately smoothed out and restored to its original state. She saw that Chu Xuan and Jun Yi were very close on the side, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she slowly showed a smile.
No one seemed to notice her strangeness. The crowd marched forward again. Biyun was still following behind Qin Yan.
Qin Yan, who was walking in front, turned around and glanced at Biyun, and when he saw that Biyun didn't understand, he frowned, glanced at Qin Yu again, and then returned to normal.
It seems to meet everyone's expectations, but after hundreds of zhang forward, they encountered a wave of demonized demon beasts, these demon beasts are not of high grade, there are many of them, and they are diverse, just a few monks on the edge, each with their magical powers, will solve them all.
It didn't take long for the second attack to strike again, and everyone realized that this wave of attacks was much stronger than before, and the level of the demon beast was also improving.
Wave after wave, in the next two days, they encountered more than a dozen waves of attacks, and some demon beasts, although they were only of the sixth or seventh order, but because they were demonized, their attack power was also comparable to theirs.
At this time, everyone has long lost the heart of luck, that is, this pre-dinner cold dish is so powerful, how can that monster be ordinary?
It was only at this time that they really believed what Chishui said.
After repelling that wave of demon beasts, Elder Ran looked around and couldn't help but say, "Qin Daoyou, I'll wait, we should be almost in the center of this black mist." β
Qin Yan nodded, he also counted it, but apart from these demonized demon beasts, they didn't find anything else.
He muttered, "I'm waiting for the light, that monster is in the dark, if it deliberately avoids us, it won't be difficult." Everyone forms small teams, groups of three to four, and spreads out. β
"Isn't that good?" The Great Elder of the Exorcism Sect said, "If it is dispersed, the power will also be dispersed, and it is easier to have accidents." β
"It's a problem if that monster doesn't show up. If you spread out, you will find more information. Then make a compromise, keep your distance from each team, and support each other if you encounter a prominent situation. Qin Yan felt a little uneasy in his heart, although he didn't find anything abnormal.
The Great Elder of the Exorcism Sect still had some worries, but he knew that what Qin Yan said was right. "That's all there is to it for the time being."
Qin Yan's expression moved, and he said, "It seems that there is no need for me to disperse." β
When everyone heard this, they were all a little surprised, but in an instant, they knew what Qin Yan was referring to, and they saw that behind them, eight demon cultivators suddenly appeared.
From their familiar red demon pupils, everyone knows that these demon cultivators have also been demonized.
Thinking of the demonized demon beasts they had encountered before, everyone didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and all of them drove out magic weapons, and every three or four people dealt with a demon cultivator together.
Those demon cultivators' eyes flashed, as if they had accepted the order, and their bodies were extremely fast, and they attacked the nearby monks.
These demon cultivators were already on par with their cultivation, and each of their attacks carried a trace of demonic energy, and their power was doubled. They were a group, and they only had a draw when they dealt with a demon cultivator.
It's not that those demon cultivators are really stronger than them, it's just that those demon cultivators are all deadly attacks, and they are more open than them. For a while, no restraint was found.
"Ahh
I saw that at the wound on his arm, the blood quickly turned black, and spread to the skin next to him, with a black gas.
"Dig up the meat." Qin Yan ordered.
Hearing this, the Qingyi Sanxiu looked at his wound, the black qi was already about to hit his shoulder, he gritted his teeth, sacrificed a short dagger, and spun it on his arm a few times, several pieces of black flesh flew up, and red blood gushed out.
The monk next to him hurriedly applied a rejuvenation technique to him to stop the bleeding, and the green clothes were scattered, ignoring the sweat on his face, and quickly took out a spirit pill and put it in his mouth, and after a while, he saw that the bowl-sized wound gradually healed.
It was only at this time that the Tsing Yi Sanxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
When everyone saw this, their hearts sank, and they didn't dare to take it lightly, and they were more cautious about those demon cultivators. I also understood why the six monks sent before had all fallen.
Just when they were about to break each one, the remaining five demon cultivators actually changed their tactics, and the five of them combined together to attack them at the same time.
Their unified attack, for a while, not a single monk dared to resist, and they all retreated a distance.
Qin Yan frowned, and was about to make a move, when he saw that the five demon cultivators were separated and surrounded by them. The ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and suddenly he thought of something, and shouted, "Disperseβ"
At the same time, others rushed out.
However, the demon cultivator closest to him seemed to know the direction of his movements, and blocked his way at once.
When the rest of the people heard this, although they didn't know what they meant, they also knew that something was wrong when they saw Qin Yan's movements, and they all fled outside. At this moment, behind the five demon cultivators, the mountains shook with a bang, and five stone pillars with about one person hugging each other stretched out from the ground, the stone pillars were pitch black, carved with spiral lines, and they were filled with symbols that seemed to be sacrifices, about several zhang long, and strands of demonic energy surged out from the stone pillars, forming a barrier that was difficult to break through, and they actually stopped the few who reacted the fastest.
Qin Yan had the fastest reaction, his body moved, and he avoided the demon cultivator, but he crashed into that barrier at once. He turned sideways, once again dodging the demon cultivator's oncoming attack.
When he saw that the demon cultivator's attack hit the barrier without any fluctuations, he knew that something was wrong.
But at this time, he was not allowed to think about it, and he had to deal with the demon cultivator in front of him who was desperately attacking him first.
Not only him, but everyone else, their faces were extremely ugly, needless to say, they all knew that they had fallen into a trap and were trapped.
Qin Huo's Yin Yang Reincarnation Bead was really powerful, and after killing that demon cultivator first, he returned to the ground, but he was silent in thought.
After everyone solved all the other four demon cultivators, they tried the barrier again, but they couldn't find a way to break through at all.
The ancestor of the Min family was the first to point at Biyun and roared angrily: "Demon girl, is it a ghost that you did?" β
When everyone heard this, their eyes brushed towards Biyun, wanting her to give an explanation.
Qin Yan raised his head, shot at Biyun, and said sharply, "Who are you?" β
Seeing that Biyun was a little confused, he replied, "Uncle, I'm Chishui!"
Qin Yan's face sank, the Yin and Yang Reincarnation Bead on the top of his head sounded softly, and a white light struck the blue clouds like lightning.
Because they were so close, Biyun avoided it, but it didn't dodge, and the white light slashed through her left shoulder, and actually cut off her left arm alive.
However, as if she didn't know the pain at all, she looked at her left arm that fell to the ground, then at Qin Yan, and said hatefully, "How did you find out?" β
"You're not standing in the right position." Qin Yan glanced at her shoulder without any bloodstains, and her expression was indifferent, "Who are you?" β
If it was really Chishui, she would stand next to him, not behind him with a weak posture.
"Is there one?" Biyun really didn't figure it out.
"You won't understand." Qin Yan was very impatient, and scolded: "Who are you?" What is the purpose? Also, what happened to Chishui? β
Biyun seemed to have given up on asking for answers, he laughed twice, and the fingers of his right hand lightly hooked his left arm on the ground, and saw that the left arm flew up, and it was actually back to her left shoulder, except that the clothes were still torn, there was no scar there.
From their conversations, everyone also knew that something was wrong, and the trap they encountered now must have nothing to do with her, and when they saw her strange wounds, they were even more suspicious, because, can a person without essence and blood still be called a human?
Biyun did all this, with a wave of her sleeves, after recovering her own appearance, she looked at Qin Yan who was shocked, and sneered, "Do you still care about her?" Do you know that she is the one who sent you to death? β
"You're talking nonsense." Qin Yu retorted loudly.
"How are you?" Qin Yan spoke almost at the same time as Qin Yu, his face full of disbelief.
"Why can't it be me?" Biyun showed a bright smile, "I'm not lying, my master is very grateful to her!" β
Although the people have not yet figured out what is going on, they can understand one thing. Without Chishui, they would not have come in, and if they did not come in, they would not have encountered such a predicament. Thinking of this, a wave of hatred rose in everyone's hearts.
"You're not human anymore, are you?" There was a trace of pity in Qin Yan's eyes, "Where is Chishui?" β
Biyun's face darkened instantly, "Qin Yan is really Qin Yan, she is dying, are you still concerned about her safety?" She seemed to think of something, and her face gradually improved, "Don't worry, she's fine, but she is trapped by me, you still care about yourself!" β
"What do you want to do, demon girl?" The ancestors of the Min family's eyes widened like copper bells, and reprimanded angrily. Sure enough, as long as you have something to do with that demon girl, it's not a good thing. In his heart, he longed to go back in time and kill Chishui to prevent future troubles.
Biyun's sleeves were swept away, facing everyone, but she was slowly flying back, with a bright smile like the sun, with pink clothes, like a pink butterfly flying with wings, when her back was attached to the barrier, she said slowly: "My master's feast is about to begin, you can also enjoy your last time!" β
After she finished speaking, she watched with satisfaction that everyone's faces changed because of her words, she patted her hands lightly, and smiled strangely at everyone, "You guys have to watch it." β
When everyone was inexplicable, they felt the ground shake again, as if something was coming out of the ground, just like when the five stone pillars were unearthed just now.
As soon as they reached through the barrier, they saw that outside the barrier, with them as the center, countless stone pillars about the size of bowls slowly rose up, and the inscriptions on them were the same as the five large stone pillars in front of them.
At the same time, in their ears, the sound of a group of women chanting sounded, at first very low, and then slowly returned to normal volume, and they saw that in front of those bowl-sized stone pillars, I don't know when, in front of each of them stood a beautiful girl.
The girls were dressed in black, with their hands crossed over their chests, their eyes closed, their expressions serene, and their mouths reciting incantations they did not understand.
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine stone pillars? Nine hundred and ninety-nine girls? Qin Yan muttered, reacted instantly, and said in shock: "It's not good, it's a festival." β
"Festivals?" What festival? Although everyone's hearts were extremely uneasy, they didn't understand what Qin Yan meant.
Can't blame them, they haven't heard of this thing at all.
However, they soon reacted that they had heard of the ancient sacrifice, and if it was really a festival, then there should be an altar, a sacrifice, and a person to sacrifice, etc. When they synthesized the words of the woman in pink, could it be that the real sacrifice was them?
Thinking of this, they were full of fear and hatred, and they never thought that they who were already standing at the top would be sacrificed as animals. In their hearts, they once again hated the Chishui who deceived them to death.
"You've got some insight." Biyun snorted, "However, no matter how smart you are, what's the use?" The sacrifice has begun. β
When everyone heard this, they panicked, and some of them with poor concentration suddenly sacrificed magic weapons to hit the barrier blocking them, but it had no effect, only attracting Biyun's proud laughter.
"Don't panic." Qin Yan used his spiritual sense and roared loudly. I don't know if his voice has the effect of calming people's hearts, everyone gradually stopped their hands, looked at him, saw that he was calm and serious, as if he had an idea in his heart, and suddenly a glimmer of hope rose.
Qin Yan glanced at Biyun and said indifferently: "No need to attack, it's useless." Forming a formation and defending is the right thing. β
That existence came from the upper realm, how could they break the magic circle he had carefully set up? Even if they can break it, they don't have time.
Qin Yan pinched his hand, centered on him, a colored round bubble spread, stopped when it was six or seven zhang wide, and said to the monk outside the colored bubble: "Come in!" β
Those monks were immediately overjoyed, and quickly jumped inside, before they could stand firmly, when they suddenly heard a loud sound of metal colliding violently, and everyone rushed out again, looking in Qin Yan's direction with a defensive expression.
I saw that behind Qin Yan, the two magic weapons collided one in the air, causing the air to swing, and then bounced off to the side. And the owner of the magic weapon, one is Fang Rui, the young master of the Fang family, and the other is the head of the Jun family.
