At this time, Mo Shanshan was still immersed in the shock brought by the Great Blockage Formation and did not notice Ning Que. She looked at the stones all over the mountain and valley and gradually frowned. She said, "Although it has been destroyed, the residual array intent is still strong. It is impossible to calculate it clearly in a short time. Do you still insist on going inside?"
Their goal was to enter the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine to find the Tomes of Arcane. Especially now that they had confirmed where the strong and distant aura came from, Ning Que naturally would not give up halfway. He looked at her and asked, "Can we still retreat?"
Mo Shanshan looked at the stones around her in silence. After a moment of calculation, she nodded and said, "We have just entered the array. If we retreat, we may not be able to retreat anymore. I don't know what kind of dangers are hidden inside."
Ning Que looked at the mottled sword marks on the stones in front of him and suddenly said, "Do you believe in fate?"
Mo Shanshan was slightly stunned and did not know why he would ask such a question at this time.
Ning Que looked at her and said, "Now I believe in fate more and more. I entered the Wilderness and came to this valley with a Calligraphy Addict who is proficient in tactical arrays. I believe that fate has already made arrangements for this."
Mo Shanshan understood what he meant.
At this moment, Ning Que suddenly sensed something. He suddenly turned around, pulled the iron bow and put a Talisman Arrow on it. He aimed at a direction far away from the stones and the arrowhead was pointing at the red shadow.
Tao Addict Ye Hongyu appeared again. She stepped on the angular stones barefoot and quickly swept in this direction. Her bare legs under her red dress were tight and straight. Her left shoulder was still bleeding and her face was a little pale. It seemed that the outbreak of the aura of Heaven and Earth when the Great Blockage Formation was activated had caused some damage to her, but not too serious.
The red dress flew and whistled. The distance between them seemed to be far but was actually very close. Logically speaking, they should have come into contact immediately. However, it was very strange that the Tao Addict's trajectory inexplicably changed between the stones. She was moving forward in a straight line, but on the way, she turned to the right and then stopped and began to circle.
Ye Hongyu stopped and stood on a stone in silence. She probably understood that it was because of the tactical array. Then she looked up at Ning Que and Mo Shanshan and said, "You are so lucky."
If the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine had not been activated, Ning Que and Mo Shanshan might have been stabbed into two pools of blood by the Tao Addict's Taoist Swords. That was why she said that they were lucky.
The Great Blockage Formation was really magical. They were standing opposite each other and could hear each other, but it was not real. Ning Que aimed the Primordial Thirteen Arrows at Ye Hongyu and confirmed that the light between the rocks was refracted in a strange way. Even the space was distorted and he could not hit her.
Action and reaction always complemented each other. The Primordial Thirteen Arrows could not aim at the Tao Addict, and the Tao Addict naturally could not find their real location in this pile of rocks.
After confirming this, Ning Que put away the iron bow and nodded to the Tao Addict on the stone not far away, as if she was just a passer-by. Then he left silently with Mo Shanshan and walked toward the place where the water fell.
As the two walked deeper into the center of the lake, the remaining water between the soles of their boots and the gravel became thinner and thinner. However, the intent of the Array Stones between the rocks became stronger and stronger. The Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely impeded here. The invisible and intangible air seemed to have sharp edges, which made every simple breath very painful.
Ning Que rubbed his cheeks that were numb because of the blockage in his chest and abdomen. He asked Mo Shanshan, "She should think of going to the place where the water fell. Do you think it is possible that she is faster than us?"
Mo Shanshan's face was pale, and her slightly sparse eyelashes looked so weak. She said softly, "I can find some paths in the Great Blockage Formation, but she can't."
Only a person with a strong heart could walk to the end of his own path, and a person with a strong heart would naturally be stubborn and proud in some aspects. At this time, Mo Shanshan was calculating the tactical array and her mind was exhausted. However, the indifferent words of "she can't" naturally revealed a bit of strength.
Hearing this, Ning Que immediately felt relieved and continued to help her move forward.
They walked cautiously and slowly in the rocks. As time went by, Mo Shanshan's mind became more and more scattered, and her body became weaker. Although she still forcibly kept her mind clear and pointed in the direction, she was almost unable to stand even if she was supported.
Ning Que looked at her pale cheeks and slightly trembling long eyelashes. He shook his head and directly carried her on his back. Without waiting for her to speak, he directly said, "I'm relatively sturdy, so I can hold on for a while."
Mo Shanshan gently agreed and did not resist. She slowly leaned her face on his shoulder, and her black hair poured down from Ning Que's chest like a waterfall. She closed her eyes and calmly looked as if she was sleeping, only occasionally pointing in the direction.
The array intent in the rocks was rugged, and the sharp air directly penetrated into the body from the air, which was extremely uncomfortable and painful. Moreover, he had to carry a person on his back at this time. Although Ning Que said he could hold on, in fact, he was almost unable to.
However, he had once walked on the difficult mountain road in the back of the Academy's mountain, and he had walked on many similar painful roads. More importantly, every time he really could not hold on, he could occasionally see the clear sword marks and moss on the stones beside the road, which would instill a strong motivation and courage in his body.
Decades ago, that person broke into the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine with only a sword. At that time, the Great Blockage Formation was intact and its power was a hundred times stronger than today, but that person still broke in. After decades, as that person's junior, how could he not inherit his strong will and give up halfway to make that person lose face?
…
…
The Tao Addict, Ye Hongyu, stood on the stone and looked at the two figures gradually disappearing in the rocks. Her clothes had been torn in many places, and the blood scabs on her shoulders were extremely horrible. Moreover, she was the only one left here at this time, which made her look a little lonely.
She did not recognize that this pile of rocks was the legendary Great Blockage Formation, but she knew that these rocks contained a terrible array force. Even as strong as she was, she would feel afraid in front of these rocks.
Suddenly, she shouted angrily, and the sound spread back among the rocks, hitting the higher cliff of the verdant valley and then bouncing back. The emptiness made her more lonely and speechless.
The angry shout stopped abruptly. She tore off a corner of her skirt and silently tied up the wound on her shoulder. She ignored the spring breeze under her body and jumped off the stone, following the last thin layer of water, and walked to the center of the lake.
The Hierarch of the West-Hill Divine Palace had once praised this girl for being proficient in all kinds of Dharma. However, although she was obsessed with cultivation, she could never touch the world of talisman arrays. She only guessed that the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine should be at the beginning of the bottom of the water, in the center of this dry lake. However, she did not know how to get through this pile of rocks and reach the place she wanted to reach.
Based on the sight on the stone and the perception of Psyche Power, she made her own judgment. However, after a few steps among the rocks, she found that she had lost her direction again. The various kinds of rocks scattered around her were like the peach trees at the southern foot of the Peach Mountain. They had the magical ability to distort space.
If she went on like this, she might never reach the center of the lake. Perhaps she would be trapped in this pile of rocks forever, until she finally broke down and died of thirst and madness.
Ye Hongyu looked behind her and confirmed that there was still a chance of survival if she left this pile of rocks. If she took a few more steps, she would be trapped in the stone array and it would be difficult to get out. She could not help but fall into a long silence.
Then she noticed the moss on the stones and the sword marks that had been hidden under the moss for decades.
She vaguely remembered who left these sword marks. Her indifferent eyes suddenly became extremely bright. Her body trembled with excitement, and blood seeped out from her shoulder.
In the eyes of cultivators who were qualified to know the secrets of the past, the madman who broke into the Front Gate with a single sword and destroyed the Devil's Doctrine with a wave of his sleeve was undoubtedly the most powerful man in the world.
Although the madman who destroyed the Devil's Doctrine with a single sword became the unparalleled enemy of the West-Hill Divine Palace and was finally punished by Heaven, no one on the Peach Mountain, including the three Great Divine Priests, was willing to mention his name. However, the Tao Addict was obsessed with cultivation, fighting, and improving her strength. She wanted to be the most powerful man in the world and admired the most powerful man. Therefore, ever since she knew the story, she had secretly worshiped the most powerful man in the world.
In the present world, she idolized her brother. In the past thousands of years, she idolized the madman. Today, she had suffered many setbacks and was in a humiliating situation because of this pile of rocks. At this moment, she suddenly saw the sword marks left by the man she worshiped so passionately. She was so shocked that she could not speak.
She finally saw the traces of the legend, saw the historical scenes, and saw the state that she worshiped and yearned for. Suddenly, a sense of pride rose in her chest and she breathed out the edge of the Shattering Array.
In a breath, Ye Hongyu's expression calmed down. She slowly pulled out the Taoist Sword from her waist and held it horizontally in front of her. Facing the moss marks on the stone in front of her, she said decisively, "Mr. Ke's sword style is before me. How dare I disappoint you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the wind of the sword rose. She calmly and attentively chopped at the stone in front of her. She did not know the array and did not know how to find a path. Therefore, she simply chopped all the stones in front of her, hoping to carve out a path. She did not know whether it was right or wrong to do so, but in front of the sword style of the predecessor, she just wanted to do so.
…
…
The water of the Daming Lake had dissipated, leaving the ground full of rocks. Compared with the verdant valley, it looked extremely desolate and frightening.
Tang stood at the original lakeside and looked down at the rocks. After a moment of silence, he said, "Everything changed after that man came. The Stone Array Tactics became different from before."
Tang Xiaotang stood beside her brother and curiously looked at the pile of rocks below. Listening to the faint sound of metal cutting rocks, she stuck out her tongue and sighed, "That woman is really crazy."
Tang said, "The world calls us demons. How can we be less crazy if we want to enter the holy land of the Enlightenment Doctrine to find out what a demon is? As the saying goes, how can one become a demon without going crazy? That person was the same back then. "
This was Tang Xiaotang's first time coming to her own sect's holy land. She nervously asked, "Brother, are we really going to let them go in like this?"
"The Enlightenment Doctrine's sacred land has always been known as a land of death. Even if you enter, you don't know if you can come out alive. For the sake of the Tomes of Arcane that have disappeared long ago, these people really don't care about life and death. “
Thinking that Ning Que had probably entered the Front Gate of the Holy Land at this time, Tang's two cast-iron eyebrows suddenly furrowed. He seemed to feel that there was something he couldn't understand. He said to himself, "Are you going to keep watching? Could it be that you have the confidence to enter the Holy Land to save him? Don't tell me … you were really on the other end 14 years ago? "
