Chapter 348: Evacuation
There was no energy fluctuation on this wooden door, it was an ordinary door, a sergeant stepped forward and gently opened the wooden door, and then, two torches were thrown into the space behind the wooden door, and everyone held their breath and was ready to shoot at any time.
But behind the wooden door, there was no danger, and two torches fell to the ground, reflecting the entire interior space.
It's an ordinary stone chamber, and it looks like it's inhabited.
Ma Xiao frowned slightly, stepped into the stone room, probed left and right, and a few sergeants behind him also came in, using the fluorescence of the torches, carefully checking the layout on the left and right.
The stone interior is very simple, with stone beds, stone chairs, and even tables. On one side of the stone bed, there is an old wardrobe, which I don't know how long it has been. Other than that, there is nothing noteworthy about this space.
"Search carefully and bring back all the suspicious things. Ma Xiao looked around, and when he saw that there was nothing worth noting, he gave an order and turned to go out.
Immediately, several sergeants began to search the stone chamber, but there was nothing to search for, and all the items were visible at a glance, except for the stone bed and the wardrobe on the side, there was nothing else worth noting.
This was supposed to be a woman's room, and the wardrobe was full of women's clothes, which made a few sergeants blush slightly.
Just as a few sergeants were about to leave, they saw a bulge on the stone bed on the side, as if something was wrong. Seeing this, a sergeant immediately stepped forward and took down all the items on the stone bed and examined them carefully.
At this moment, a faint fluorescence suddenly came from the stone bed, illuminating the entire stone room.
Several sergeants were checking the items, and the fluorescence suddenly came, and they were suddenly startled, and immediately looked back, but saw that on the stone bed, a strange formation suddenly appeared, which was actually a square arrangement that had never been seen before, two circles away, and was emitting a faint fluorescence. The sergeant immediately reported the situation to Ma Xiao, and at this moment Ma Xiao was continuing to move forward with the remaining sergeants, and when he heard about this, he immediately turned back and stood in front of the stone bed, looking at the strange formation in front of him, his brows furrowed.
He didn't know the formation, and he couldn't be blamed for it, after all, there were very few people who could cultivate the formation, let alone this kind of square-shaped formation, not to mention that he had never seen or heard of it.
Although he didn't know the formation, Ma Xiao still clearly understood that this discovered formation must have a great relationship with the hidden Sun Chasing Sect, so he immediately ordered someone to prepare. Fortunately, the configuration of the army, each officer has a paper used to transmit urgent messages, and this paper uses special means to write without a pen.
Ma Xiao and other sergeants did not know the formation charms, but this did not affect them to copy, he ordered the sergeants behind him to record the formation charms on the record, draw on the paper, and then take out the paper himself, record the charms depicted by each person, and record the order of arrangement in detail.
After doing all this, after making sure that there was nothing else in the stone chamber, Ma Xiao led the sergeant to move on.
On the way back, he never encountered a fork in the road, until he got out of the cave, stood on the Gobi, and checked the environment on the left and right, Ma Xiao realized that this was not a secret place at all, but just an escape channel arranged by the people of the Chasing Sun Sect.
After checking the surrounding traces and seeing the five caves on the left and right, Ma Xiao was sure that the people of the Chasing Sun Sect had escaped from the Chasing Sun Sect and entered the vast Gobi through this passage.
After inspecting the surrounding traces, Ma Xiao finally gave the order to abandon the pursuit. The traces around are scarce, and there is no clear direction, which can only show one point, that is, the few people who escaped are not mediocre hands, and they also jumped at least a few feet away, and they want to chase it like this, I don't know when they will be chased. And these people have such cultivation, they will definitely not let the pursuers chase after them, and they will definitely arrange some countermeasures, in this vast Gobi, while observing the traces and tracking, they must also guard against fierce beasts, if they encounter traps placed by others again, it is likely to cause casualties. Moreover, now that the secrets of the Sun Chasing Sect have been discovered, there are still many caves that have not been explored. After weighing the pros and cons, Ma Xiao ordered to return the same way and check several other passages.
As Ma Xiao's order was issued, the sergeants moved quickly, and immediately returned the same way, entered the stone chamber of the Chasing Sun Sect, and continued to inspect the remaining passages. At the same time, Ma Xiao sent an order to another group of sergeants, ordering that if the formation was found, the formation should be copied in detail, so that he could go back and hand it over to Xiao Yibo.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sky is getting brighter, and it is already ten minutes of dawn.
After a night of screening, all six passages in the Sun-chasing Sect have been explored. Among them, five passages on one side, different formations were found inside, and the sergeants copied these formations and preserved them, but in addition, in these five passages, no other suspicious items were found, let alone human figures. However, some clues were also found, judging from the clothes in the stone room in the passage, these five passages belonged to five different people, three men and two women, and they were no trace at the moment.
In the other independent passage, no formation was found, and this passage did not lead to the outside, but to a wide stone chamber. Fresh water and food, as well as other daily necessities, look like a warehouse. Ma Xiao ordered people to carefully explore several times, but did not find any other mysteries in this cave, so Ma Xiao ordered the withdrawal of troops, and all the soldiers came out of the stone chamber of the Chasing Sun Sect.
Outside, it was already dark and the surroundings were hazy. In the early morning, it is still a little cold on the Gobi.
After a night of pranayama, Huang Yuchen had recovered as before, full of energy, he had already woken up, but he did not move, just stood not far away, looking at the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, seeing Ma Xiao come out with a group of sergeants, Huang Yuchen's spirit was shocked, and a smile appeared on his face. What he was worried about didn't happen in the end, no matter what the people chasing the Sun Sect thought, they didn't fight the East Wangfu sergeant head-on, this should be the best outcome.
After leaving the cave, Ma Xiao immediately ordered to set fire to the stone room of the Chasing Sun Sect and burn the entire area.
At the sound of the order, the fire soon enveloped the entire cave, along with the secret chambers and passages within the cave, all shrouded in raging fire.
Huang Yuchen stood far away, looking at the fire of the former site of the Sun Chasing Sect in the distance, and there was no wave in his heart. He didn't know much about this sect, and he didn't have much interest, but the people in this sect beat his own ideas, and he didn't kill them all, which was already merciful.
After doing all this, Ma Xiao led the sergeant back, and when he saw Huang Yuchen, Ma Xiao smiled, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said, "I've seen my lord." ”
"General Ma, is it going well?" Huang Yuchen asked with a slight bow.
"It should go well. Ma Xiao returned gently, without telling Huang Yuchen the details, and said, "This is the matter, will the lord go back to Pingjin City with us, or will there be other arrangements?"
The sergeant who had seen Huang Yuchen before naturally told Ma Xiao about Huang Yuchen's request, saying that he was going back to Pingjincheng, and Ma Xiao asked this at the moment, which was also to determine what Huang Yuchen meant.
"Go back to the city. Huang Yuchen said: "Along the way, I have to bother General Ma." ”
"Your Excellency's words are serious. Ma Xiao lightly bowed his hand to Emperor Yuchen, and then immediately arranged for the sergeants to be prepared, and the next moment, all the staff were mobilized.
Huang Yuchen followed among the sergeants, looking back at the flames of the Sun Chasing Sect, his eyes narrowed slightly.
What happened on this day was very bizarre, this was the first time that Huang Yuchen had left the sight of the East Palace, and he encountered such a bizarre thing, which made his heart have some subtle changes.
The team of sergeants are all advanced in cultivation, and the speed of the journey is also extremely fast, and after a short time, they will not be able to see the hills of the Sun Chasing Sect.
......
Chasing the Sun Sect, within the secret passage.
The Heavenly Absolute Scattered People have been hiding in the secret passages, using covert means to create a blindfold, and evading the search of many soldiers.
At this moment, the monstrous flames in the stone chamber were not difficult at all for the Heavenly Absolute Scatterer, and I saw him wave his hand slightly, triggering the Five Elements Origin Array, and the energy in the flames was quickly absorbed by the formation and disappeared.
The Heavenly Absolute Man stood in the empty stone chamber, his eyes cold.
He didn't pay attention to the soldiers of the Eastern Palace, and the separation from the disciples was also within his calculations.
At this moment, I saw that the Heavenly Absolute Scattered Man took a long breath, and then suddenly opened his big mouth, and a crimson essence shot out from his mouth, and disappeared straight into the formation in front of him. In an instant, the formation emitted a dense multicolored brilliance, directly enveloping the Heavenly Absolute Scattered People.
After a long time, the figure of the Heavenly Absolute Man reappeared. Nothing else has changed in the slightest, but the face is no longer old and decayed, but has become bright and round, if you only look at it from the physiognomy, this person is at most more than thirty years old, and there is no such decaying atmosphere on his body.
Taking a deep breath, a cruel light appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Absolute Scatterer, and he said to himself: "It's really damned, if I can refine Xu Feng in the formation, I will definitely absorb a lot more life qi, but now, I can only forcibly increase my life span by more than ten years." As he spoke, he glanced at the five caves beside him with a sneer.
He had arranged the secret passage in such a way that he had already taken all the circumstances into account. The reason why he has always shown himself as an old man, whether it is to his disciples or to others, is also to invisibly tell all his disciples that he is about to die and his life is short, so he is desperate to take Xu Feng, but all this does not seem to be as simple as it seems.
The aura on the Heavenly Absolute Scattered Man is several times stronger than before, he has such a cultivation, but he never makes a move, showing weakness to anyone, and his intentions must be very big.
Looking around again, the Heavenly Absolute Scattered Man smiled, and once again controlled the Five Elements Origin Array, the fire immediately burst into flames, and he dodged and disappeared into the stone room.
At this moment, the secret passage that the Heavenly Absolute People had entered had been swallowed up by the fire, and in the fire, there was an old corpse, which was being swallowed by the flames and slowly turned into charcoal.
