After exchanging the formation tokens, Chen Ping looked at the sky, and the red sun had only risen shortly at this time, probably the hour of time.

Plenty of time.

He looked in the direction of the mysterious ruins, his eyes narrowed:

"Okay, here we go."

The three of Xiyue followed with serious expressions, knowing that this was the most critical moment.

Each of them performed his duties and ambushed the periphery.

Chen Ping turned around and returned to the cave.

Dozens of mutes were shot around the cave in one go, so that the movement of the cast had as little impact as possible on the periphery.

After that, he returned to the center of the cave, swallowed a pill of Qi Gathering Pill, and drew out the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword.

The sky is engraved with the Taiqing Imprisonment Technique.

This engraving is different from practicing the art of imprisonment in the village, and he cannot be sloppy or make any mistakes.

He was engrossed, carefully carving each rune, connecting each small branch.

As long as any small place cannot reach the most perfect level, it may affect the degree of resonance between subsequent sword intents.

If the level of resonance is not enough.

It may make it impossible for the sword intent to escape.

Once the sword intent starts to roar, he doesn't have much chance of trial and error, and it's best to succeed once.

When the 108 runes were engraved, the runes shone with a dazzling luster under the blessing of the law. Rows and rows of neatly arranged runes are connected together, forming a rectangular scroll.

Chen Ping continued to cast the Imprisonment Spell.

The rectangular scrolls in the air gradually bend and then join each other end to end into a circle.

It is almost exactly the same as the confinement technique engraved on the tower body in the ancient tower of the underground palace.

Chen Ping did not relax, extracted the 9th, 39th, 69th, and 99th runes, cast spiritual power, and used the spell as the keynote, interspersed them to form a blocking spiritual net.

Avoid being affected by other factors in the imprison when the sword intent resonates.

When all this was executed in an orderly manner, Chen Ping once again focused his gaze on the sword intent reserve slot formed before and after the 99th rune.

According to the essence of the confinement technique that he realized after the 'Great Grandmaster', he slowly and meticulously stripped some elements of the sword qi groove in order to facilitate the sublimation and escape of the sword intent.

This process also requires excellence.

But Chen Ping has repeated this process countless times, and he is already familiar with the road, and there will be no mistakes.

Just cast the spell slowly.

"Whew!"

Chen Ping exhaled and stopped casting.

'Finally completed the engraving of the Imprisonment Technique. ’

Not bad.

There were no disgruntled strokes in the process.

Everything fell into place.

It's not in vain that I've spent more than six years pondering it.

Chen Ping looked at the masterpiece in front of him and was quite satisfied.

This process took more than 3 hours.

'Then there was only one thing left to do, and that was to inject sword intent into the sword intent reserve tank, and then let the sword overflow unexpectedly, so as to arouse the resonance of sword intent in the runes of the underground palace seven thousand miles away. ’

That's when it's most dangerous.

Chen Ping swallowed a pill of Qi Gathering Pill and took a deep breath.

Come on.

He took out the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword, and the tip of the sword pointed to the slot of sword intent in the rune ring in the air.

Concentrate on the mantra silently.

Suddenly.

The surging sword intent poured out, and it quickly poured into the groove of rune sword intent along the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword.

Not only was it imprisoned, but the entire cave was filled with sword intent for a while. The loose walls cut countless sword marks in the flying sword intent, and clods of earth and gravel flew everywhere.

Outside the cave, there was not a trace of wind, but countless reeds were cut into several pieces in an instant.

Xiyue, who was lying in ambush outside the entrance of the cave, turned around and glanced at the temporary cave with clear eyes.

The body is tense, and the eyebrows are slightly frowned.

In the cave, Chen Ping knew that at the most dangerous moment, once the sword intent was injected, resonance could occur at any time, and visions could be detected at any time.

He worked hard, and the sword dao and sword intent he had accumulated over the years were unreserved, and he gushed out.

The special sword intent groove formed before and after the 99th rune was like a bottomless hole, and it was instantly devoured after the sword intent was injected. But Chen Ping's sword intent was sufficient, and soon, the slot of sword intent shook for the first time.

With a "bang", one of the walls of the cave collapsed.

……

"Bang!"

In the underground palace of the mysterious ruins, on the ancient tower that Jindan could not attack and destroy in the later stage, a powerful aura instantly swayed.

The middle section of the tower suddenly became transparent, and then instantly returned to its original state.

In a hidden stone house at the mysterious ruins, the old man who was as withered as a dried corpse suddenly opened his eyes and moved intently.

Then it disappeared in place with a "swish".

A moment later, the withered old man appeared in the ancient tower underground palace.

He stood in front of the stone tower with his hands in his hands, looked up at the ancient tower, but found that the ancient tower did not seem to be abnormal, but at that moment just now, he clearly felt the abnormality and felt the throbbing.

At the same time, a young monk with one of his eyes was completely white hurriedly entered, his eyes were full of frost, and he looked at the withered old man, and then at the ancient tower:

"Master, what's going on?"

The withered old man did not look back:

"There is a vision in the ancient tower, and the sword intent that is built into the confinement has signs of escape, notify it, and focus on checking the situation in the underground palace to see if anyone has broken in. Drive the monsters and guard the ruins. Of course, leave a small part in a radius of 10,000 miles centered on the mysterious ruins for investigation, and once anyone with bad intentions is found, they will be killed. ”

"Yes." The white-eyed young man arched his hand, hesitated, and spoke:

"Master, is Jiang Youwei doing something? Will they attack the mysterious site again? ”

"Hmph." The withered old man snorted coldly:

"Who else but him?"

"However, you can rest assured that you can arrange for an investigation. Most of them will not attack in a big way, and the last attack on their monks lost nearly half of their men, and in just a few years, they have not had the ability to attack again. ”

"Jiang Youwei Since the last attack, after his teleportation array was dismantled, he re-chose a hidden route and set it up, hmph, the same way twice, thinking that the old man didn't know. The old man of the teleportation array made arrangements to stare at it with his hands, and there was no warning message. ”

The old man threw out a map:

"You lead some demon beasts over and stare at the exit of the teleportation array, once there is a monk activity, no matter who it is, it doesn't matter if you kill it."

"Understood." The white-eyed monk bowed his hand and withdrew.

The old man sat cross-legged in front of the ancient tower, watching the subtle changes in the visions of the ancient tower.

……

Village. The ancient tower guards the formation.

In a secret room in the ancient tower, Jiang Youwei was originally practicing the confinement technique, but suddenly inexplicably felt a sense of restlessness coming from upstairs.

He looked up at the upper floors, shook his head, and lowered his head to continue studying the art of confinement.

But after a while, the feeling of restlessness just now came again.

And then the third time

Jiang Youwei frowned, got up and walked up the spiral steps to the upper floors of the ancient tower.

There is nothing unusual on the second floor, and there is no abnormality on the third floor.

When I reached the top staircase, the feeling of restlessness came again.

Jiang Youwei couldn't help but speed up.

Step briskly to the top floor.

Suddenly, his breathing became rapid.

I saw a quaint cylindrical crystal iron in the middle of the top layer, which actually emitted a faint luster at this moment. That piece of crystal iron had always been dull.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a powerful predecessor who used some special means to link the ancient tower of the underground palace in the mysterious ruins with this ancient tower.

As long as the confinement of the ancient tower of the underground palace is greatly touched, this piece of crystal iron will glow with it.

Who this senior is, Jiang Youwei doesn't know, what kind of means Jiang Youwei has, why he wants to set up such a correlation Jiang Youwei is just guessing that it is to monitor the movement of the underground palace confinement.

These rumors were only what he had heard from the previous leader of the Guardians of the Ancient Tower.

But there is one thing that Jiang Youwei is very accurate.

That is, every time there is a big change in the imprisonment of the local Miyako Tower, this piece of crystal iron will indeed glow.

This phenomenon was verified during two successive attacks on the mysterious ruins.

'Could it be that another Taoist friend is attacking the mysterious ruins?' ’

'Sui Daoyou, they? ’

'No way. They don't have the ability to attack the mysterious ruins on a large scale without uniting with the old man. ’

Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but be excited.

'Could it be that Sui Daoyou's research on confinement has made good progress, and they have sneaked into the underground palace of the mysterious ruins? ’

They actually found a way to infiltrate the dungeon?

At that moment, the crystal flickered again.

Jiang Youwei couldn't sit still anymore.

'Gotta go see. Gotta go, gotta go. ’

Without the broken arm, all these years of planning will be in vain. ’

Jiang Youwei didn't want to stay for a moment, hurriedly went downstairs, explained a few words, and then quickly disappeared into a basement with a hidden formation.

There, the entrance to the teleportation array was arranged.

The other end of the teleportation array is in the wasteland about 10,000 miles away from the mysterious ruins.

Since the last war, the original teleportation array route has been dismantled.

It stands to reason that it has only been a few years, and it is unlikely that much progress has been made on the confinement technique, and it stands to reason that no one would be in such a hurry to rebuild a second teleportation route. But Jiang Youwei is unexpected.

Especially after seeing the broken arm clearly last time and seeing the power of the broken arm. Jiang Youwei realized that only by keeping himself close to the mysterious ruins could he be completely at ease.

Anyway, his teleportation array is a living array, and others can't enter it without a control token.

Only he can use it.

In the makeshift cave where Chen Ping was.

Chen Ping focused on casting spells, pouring sword intent into the sword intent groove continuously.

As the sword intent became more and more abundant, the slot of sword intent became more and more crowded, and the process of casting spells became more and more resistant, and it became more and more difficult.

In the process of this, the aura turbulence of the Sword Intent Groove also became more and more intense each time.

Chen Ping did not relax, and continued to cast spells in one go.

Outside the cave.

Xiyue, Nan Nan, and Zhu Caiyi were ambushed in the wasteland, watching the movements of the demon beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles.

As Chen Ping's sword intent behind them became more and more intense, the movement became bigger and bigger.

The reed fields within a radius of two or three miles have all been razed to the ground.

They still found that more and more demon beasts began to appear in the surrounding area, and they knew that the withered old man in the mysterious ruins should have noticed something abnormal.

In the Canglan Grassland, only a few mysterious characters such as the old man have the ability to drive the demon beasts here.

Finally, a third-order demon beast came straight to this side.

Eighty miles, fifty miles, thirty miles.

"I'm going to get it out of the way." Nan Nan said expressionlessly.

If the monster did spot them, it would be better to lure it away than let it run here to fight.

It's not going to cause much of a stir here.

"Okay." Xiyue also had no expression on her face.

After a pause, he looked over:

"Be careful, try not to fight to the death. This time, the four of them came, and they tried to go back together. ”

Nan Nan was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Xiyue, turned around and quickly disappeared in place.

Not long after, a demon beast appeared in the 'field of vision' at close range.

Xiyue turned her head to look at her companion.

Zhu Caiyi met Xiyue's gaze, nodded, turned around and disappeared into the reeds.

Another period of time passed, and the sword intent behind Xiyue became bigger and bigger.

She 'looked' dozens of miles away, and more and more demon beasts were coming in this direction.

She knew there was no need to lead away.

The movement of the sword intent is large enough, so large that it may be vaguely perceived within a range of tens of miles.

Xiyue turned her head and glanced at the rear, where Chen Ping cast his spell a few miles away.

She turned her head and looked to the periphery, her gaze flying out with determination.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

“.”

The sound of battle sounded in three directions at once.

The demon beasts within a radius of more than ten miles moved when they heard the news, and quickly converged towards the source of the three sounds.

The three of them mainly fled with the demon beasts, trying to keep the sound of the battle as low as possible.

Even so, there are more and more demon beasts.

Not long after, a demon beast appeared outside Chen Ping's cave and began to attack the defensive formation frequently.

Xiyue took a deep breath, cast a spell and soared into the sky, turned around and quickly galloped towards the defensive array.

Nan Nan and Zhu Caiyi also turned around and galloped at the same time when they saw the signal.

At this moment, there is no point in splitting and attacking, their actual combat cultivation is only in the middle and middle stages of Jindan, not to mention the late third order, as long as even a mid-third order and strong demon beast appears, they basically only have the fate of Zhou Xuan absconding.

Now that the defensive array has been discovered.

Rather than this, it is better to return to the defensive formation, and with the protection of the defensive formation, it is really practical to constantly sneak attack and attack demon beasts.

The three of them quickly returned to the formation.

"Don't go out of the formation, hide in the formation, attack them with all your strength, and delay the time when the formation is broken." Xiyue shouted.

She was a little pleasantly surprised to find that there was not a single third-order late-stage demon beast that came here, all of them were some second-order demon beasts and some third-order early and mid-stage demon beasts.

She couldn't manage that much anymore, and it was a good thing for them anyway.

"Okay."

The three of them are separated in three directions.

"Bang~, hey, die~"

“……”

The other side.

Jiang Youwei's teleportation array is basically coherent, and only a few sections need to fly a certain distance. And because he didn't have the Tsukiji Monk's drag, he quickly appeared before the penultimate teleportation node.

Jiang Youwei snorted and stepped into the last section of the teleportation array.

A moment later, he came out from the other side.

"Mysterious ruins, I, Jiang Youwei, are back again, the old man wants to see what happened here."

As he was thinking like this, he saw a third-order late-stage demon beast slowly emerging from the reed field on the opposite side, and it was obvious that this demon beast had reined in its breath just now.

Immediately after, one appeared behind him.

Then to the left, then to the right.

Jiang Youwei was shocked.

These monsters were obviously prepared.

It must have been in ambush here for a long time.

… Damn it.

… I was careless, I didn't expect the formation to be discovered.

Without saying a word, he turned around and retreated into the teleportation array.

"Bang!" A streamer cut off his back path, and the exit of the teleportation array also became precarious, and the formation was close to collapsing.

This teleportation array was a formation that he had only prepared in the Canglan Grassland, and the array plate and other equipment were not the best materials.

Solidity itself isn't that good.

The corners of Jiang Youwei's mouth twitched, knowing that the formation was no longer suitable for further entry, in case he was attacked by these demon beasts when he first entered the formation, then it was really possible that he would never be able to come out and be shredded in the spatial crack.

Of course, facing a few third-order late-stage demon beasts alone, he was not stupid enough to be tough.

Between the lightning and flint, he launched a fierce attack on one of the demon beasts, regardless of the attack from behind, he forcibly tore a hole, and then quickly withdrew from the encirclement.

Fight and retreat.
