488. Ethereal Stone

After rescuing Jiang Xiangyu and the others, Zhao Yi dealt with Yan Yu and the two Avatar Cultivators, and Zhao Yi was preparing to take everyone back to Winter Spring Fort first.

At this time, Nie Xiaopeng suddenly said that something was wrong underground.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yi asked.

"I feel like there's movement underground!" Nie Xiaopeng said.

Zhao Yi listened to Nie Xiaopeng's words, and also probed his spiritual sense underground.

After a while, Zhao Yi showed a puzzled expression on his face.

"It seems that there are also formations for suppressing spiritual consciousness and soul in this underground!" Zhao Yi said after probing.

"Back to the boss. Actually, the formation in the cave we are in is not something we have laid out, but it already exists!" Nie Xiaopeng said.

Zhao Yi watched Nie Xiaopeng and Nie Xiaoqian take a step forward and continued to ask, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Boss, you didn't ask, and we didn't care, but now that I think about it, the formation there and the formation here seem to have been laid by the same person!" Nie Xiaopeng said.

Zhao Yi was even more puzzled.

"Do you know the formation?" Zhao Yi asked.

However, after Zhao Yi asked, it was somewhat clear, if Nie Xiaopeng didn't understand the formation, how could he ensure that his soul would not be suppressed in that cave.

However, Nie Xiaopeng still answered truthfully: "In addition to having an extraordinary soul and stealth ability, our Lingyin Clan also has a specialty, that is, it is immune to any formation, and understanding the formation is only in the initial stage!"

"So powerful!, can you crack the formation down here?" Zhao Yi asked with some surprise.

"I don't know yet, but I can go down and study it!" Nie Xiaopeng said.

Zhao Yi listened to Nie Xiaopeng's words, made up his mind, and decided to find out what was under the formation below.

Zhao Yi turned to Yan Miao and said, "Senior Yan Miao, you take them back to Dongquan Fort first, and Nie Xiaopeng and I will go down to explore!"

"But ......" Hua Zhixuan looked at Yan Miao with some unease, but she didn't dare to say it.

Yan Miao has a look of anti-inflammatory, not only Hua Zhixuan, but also Jiang Xiangyu and Mo Yu, cousin, they all have some fear, although they know that this person is definitely not anti-inflammatory, but that face looks really terrible.

"Hehe, let me tell you the truth, this is the former sect master of the Water Moon Sect, Yan Miao's senior, I can rest assured that he will protect you, go!" Zhao Yi said with a smile.

"What? Yan Miao's predecessor is not ......" Of course, Hua Zhixuan knew that Yan Miao had died many years ago, so she was very shocked.

"Other inconveniences, you listen to me, I don't know what the situation is, it's inconvenient when there are too many people, go ahead!"

He turned around and said to Nie Xiaoqian: "You can go back with them, and let the flower fairy study your body, she is the most famous doctor in this world!"

Jiang Xiangyu and Mo Yu were also startled when they saw Nie Xiaopeng's brother and sister just now, but they didn't show so much obviously.

However, in Hua Zhixuan's eyes, the Nie Xiaopeng brothers and sisters are just patients, and she is not even afraid of the blood pool, let alone two ugly people.

"Sister Xiaoqian, don't be afraid, come with me!" Hua Zhixuan was not only not afraid, but also walked over and grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's hand, and said very gently.

"Brother......" Nie Xiaoqian was still a little restrained, and turned back to ask Nie Xiaopeng's opinion.

"Go!" Nie Xiaopeng bowed deeply to Hua Zhixuan and said, "Trouble the flower fairy!"

Zhao Yi also looked at Yan Miao and said, "Please, Senior Yan!"

"Don't worry!" Yan Miao replied.

Zhao Yi motioned to Caiyi and asked him to take everyone back, and Caiyi reluctantly agreed.

......

Zhao Yi and Nie Xiaopeng returned to the cave of the Blood Demon Sect and re-came to the place where the blood pool was.

"Can you find a gateway to continue?" Zhao Yi asked.

They had already observed it when they first arrived, and there was no way down the passage, but under their psychic probe, the place with the formation pair was located very deep below.

"No, I feel that there is a lot of space underneath, even bigger than here, but I can't detect any passages?" Nie Xiaopeng replied.

"Could it be...... Extending from that cave of yours?" Zhao Yi guessed.

When Nie Xiaopeng heard Zhao Yi's speculation, he immediately felt like he had remembered something, looked at Zhao Yi and said, "Boss, why don't we go back to our original cave and take a look again." ”

"What do you think of?" Zhao Yi asked.

"There seems to be a passage on the other side of my cave, but because there are no Yin spirits or Yin beasts in that direction, and there is still a kind of repulsion to me. ”

"My sister and I just came here and haven't fully recovered yet, so we don't dare to try, but now we can go and have a look!"

Nie Xiaopeng replied.

"Okay, let's go back and have a look!" Zhao Yi said.

......

Due to the slaughter of Zhao Yi and them before, there were many fewer yin spirits and yin beasts in the hot spring cave, and the cold qi had also weakened a lot.

Zhao Yi and Nie Xiaopeng reopened the bottom of the cave, and Nie Xiaopeng led them to the other side of the cave.

"It's strange, there are really very few Yin Spirits and Yin Beasts here, and the aggression is not so strong!" Zhao Yi said.

"Boss, do you think that the level of Yin Spirits and Yin Beasts here is also relatively low?" Nie Xiaopeng said.

"That's right, what is the reason for this, can you figure it out?" Zhao Yi asked.

In fact, Zhao Yi had already felt that the level of the Yin Spirit and Yin Beast here was indeed much lower than that of the other side, even lower than the entrance.

They had already gone deep into the cave at this time, and they did not receive any attack from the Yin Spirits, who just floated past them without even noticing them.

"I don't know what the reason is, the number of Yin Spirits and Yin Beasts here is very small, and there are mostly Yin Spirits, and there are almost no Yin Beasts, I have a feeling!" Nie Xiaopeng said.

"How do you feel?" Zhao Yi asked.

"Could it be that this is the place where the Yin Spirits are generated, or that there are a lot of new souls ahead, and those souls gather from there, and after a long time, they condense the Yin Spirits of the City, and these Yin Spirits are not offensive because they are newly generated?" Nie Xiaopeng guessed.

"Is there such a statement?" Zhao Yi asked strangely.

Zhao Yi only has some understanding of these yin and evil things, but compared to Nie Xiaopeng, his knowledge is not worth mentioning.

"There is indeed such a saying, because the yin spirit is also condensed by a lot of soul fragments, and the yin spirit that has just been condensed still retains some memories of the original owner in their consciousness, so at this time, the yin spirit is the most contradictory, because it is a combination of many soul fragments, and their lethality is the weakest at this time. ”

"However, as time goes by, their memories will be completely lost, and in the end, only one thought will be to devour their souls and eventually form a Yin Beast!"

Nie Xiaopeng explained briefly.

"I see, could it be that there is really a soul gathering place ahead?" Zhao Yi asked.

"Very likely, boss, you think, the Blood Demon Sect has collected so much blood on it, so where did the souls of those people they killed go?" Nie Xiaopeng asked a question.

"That's right, it's impossible for the people they killed to even destroy their souls, is there a special formation for gathering souls down here?" Zhao Yi said.

"It's very likely, when I first came here, I found that there was a very high-level soul suppression formation here, I think, this must have been a very powerful soul cultivator's cave a long time ago, but this soul cultivator didn't know where he went?" Nie Xiaopeng guessed.

As they spoke, the two of them had already come to the place that Nie Xiaopeng had said was repulsive.

"Boss, do you feel that there is a lot of repulsion ahead?!" Nie Xiaopeng came here and said to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi nodded, cautiously probing forward.

At the beginning, Zhao Yi didn't feel repulsive, but as Zhao Yi continued to go deeper, the resistance from the front became greater and greater, and in the end, Zhao Yi couldn't take a step forward.

"This is the first time I've encountered this situation, I've never heard of it before, what's going on?" Zhao Yi said strangely.

In the past, Zhao Yi had only heard of pressure from above in some of the tests of monks, and he had never heard of such pressure from the side.

Zhao Yi walked back, looked at Nie Xiaopeng and asked, "Can you find out what's ahead?"

Nie Xiaopeng said in embarrassment: "It's strange here, you know about the suppression of the soul by the formation on the other side, but it has no effect on me, but on this side, I can't feel the suppression of the formation, but I can't feel anything!"

"That's strange, what is the reason?" Zhao Yi pondered.

Zhao Yi also didn't feel the suppression of the soul here, but he just couldn't detect the situation ahead.

"Little master, there is something that can shield the spiritual sense even if there is no formation!"

"What is it?" Zhao Yi asked.

"When I was outside the domain, I once heard that there was something called the Ethereal Spirit Stone, this kind of stone could shield all soul skills and spiritual sense detection, and any soul cultivator would be useless in front of the Ethereal Spirit Stone. ”

"Therefore, outside the territory, those monks with weaker souls will spend huge fortunes to buy ethereal spirit stones, which can be used to refine armor against soul attacks.

However, being able to shield the spiritual sense to the point that nothing can be detected, indicating that there are some very large number of ethereal stones ahead. ”

Soul Elder introduced to Zhao Yi.

"Can resist soul attacks?, such a powerful baby?" Zhao Yi immediately became excited when he heard this.

Zhao Yi had to be excited, being able to resist the attack of the incoming soul, this kind of material may not be nothing to Zhao Yi, but if these materials can be sent into the Predator's armor, then his Predator will have an extra guarantee when he fights outside the territory in the future.

Zhao Yi's own soul is strong and not afraid of soul attacks, but unlike those Predators, they don't have a powerful soul like Zhao Yi.

"Soul Elder, do you have any understanding of this kind of pressure from the horizontal?" Zhao Yi asked again.

"This should be a defensive formation, a formation for the upper invaders to retreat in the face of difficulties. ”

"This formation is not lethal, but it makes people very helpless, because if you don't know where the eye of the formation is, no matter how much force you use to attack this formation, he will bounce back. ”

Soul Elder said.

"Has Soul Elder ever seen this kind of formation?" Zhao Yi asked urgently.

"No, but you can try to see if the Taixuan Knife can cut through the power of this formation!" the Soul Elder suggested.

"Taixuan Knife?!right?!" Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that when he was in the Tang Capital, he used the Taixuan Knife to cut through Ji Xiangming's formation.

"Whoosh!"

Zhao Yi didn't even think about it, and directly summoned the Taixuan Knife.
