Many people said that there was only a fine line between a genius and a madman.
As the lead disciple of Kunlun Sect, a super sect in the Wanxian League, Zhou Mumu was undoubtedly a genius. However, whenever this genius saw Wang Lu, she felt that Wang Lu was standing on the other side of the line, far away, waving at her.
"Next, the first field investigation of the wind of destruction is about to begin!"
Hearing Wang Lu's enthusiastic words, Zhou Mumu could not believe her ears.
"What did you say?"
Wang Lu repeated it without changing his tone in the slightest.
"Are you crazy?"
Hearing this, Wang Lu smiled without saying anything, while Zhan Ziye simply sneered disdainfully.
"Mortal wisdom."
Zhou Mumu ignored Zhan Ziye's provocation and anxiously said, "It doesn't matter how Zhan Ziye wants to die, but Wang Lu, you also want to mess around? We have confirmed the authenticity of the wind of destruction in the past few days. It's not Aba's nonsense, yet you still dare to try it? Do you really think Non-Phase Sword Defense is invincible in the world? "
Thus, even Wang Lu showed a disdainful smile. "Mortal wisdom …"
Before he could finish, Zhou Mumu stepped forward and grabbed his collar. "I'm not joking with you!"
"... Well, here's the thing."
Wang Lu had to elaborate on the field investigation plan that he and Zhan Ziye had formulated.
"The first is the purpose of the investigation. At present, our clues about returning to Nine Regions have basically been cut off. No matter who we ask in the new demon world, the answer is that the space barrier of the new demon world is unbreakable. During this period, we have also tried to break through the barrier several times, including the sect's heavenly talisman and other means. It proves that the new demon world is completely isolated from the Nine Regions … But I don't think things are desperate, because there are still too many unknown contents waiting to be explored in the new demon world. Maybe the clue to return to Nine Regions is hidden in it. And among them, the wind of destruction is undoubtedly the most suspicious. "
Wang Lu explained, "According to the legend of the people of the New Devil Realm, all the people who walked under the night sky when the wind of destruction came were dead, but no one has ever seen their bones. It was as if they disappeared from the world, even the royal family was no exception. Therefore, I thought that there should be two possibilities. The first is that the wind of destruction is truly invincible, and even Daoist Masters of Deity Transformation Realm can't withstand a single blow. As for the second possibility … I suspect that the Winds of Destruction didn't kill those people, but only teleported them to another place. "
"Teleport to another place?"
Wang Lu's conjecture caused everyone to be shocked. At first, it seemed like a baseless conjecture, but if one thought about it carefully, it seemed to make a lot of sense! Many incomprehensible situations could be explained with this reason!
"Then, where do you think the Winds of Destruction might teleport people to?"
Wang Lu said, "No matter where it is, it's always better than this cage-like new demon world. More importantly, it means a breakthrough direction, and it's also the only direction that we can break through at present. The new demon world is full of talented people, but they haven't been able to find the way to the outside world for two thousand years. I don't think repeating their previous attempts can get any breakthrough results, and the wind of destruction is probably the only blind spot of the demon race in the past two thousand years. "
"… That does make sense, but there's no need to rush to risk our lives, right?"
"Of course not, we're going to risk our lives …"
However, before Wang Lu's voice fell, he heard Qiong Hua sigh and interrupt, "If Junior Brother Wang Lu wants me to go to the wind of destruction to explore the way for you … It's better to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Wang Lu gawked for a moment, and then looked at Zhan Ziye. "Senior Brother Ziye, it seems that we can only start plan B."
Zhan Ziye was also quite regretful. "Senior Sister Qiong Hua, as the lead disciple of Shengjing Sect and the number one Daoist Master of King Pill in the Wanxian League, unexpectedly can't look at the overall situation, and also doesn't have the spirit of academic exploration, it's really regrettable."
However, having said that, the two of them had obviously expected Qiong Hua's refusal. Therefore, Zhan Ziye immediately took out the backup device from his mustard seed bag.
It was a quaint, slightly strange twisted branch, and at the end of the branch hung two big eyeballs. If it weren't for the lively breath of life in the branch, this branch would look like a cursed object...
"What is this?" Zhou Mumu asked.
"Sentry Guard." Zhan Ziye replied, "It's our Ten Thousand Arts Sect's newly designed immortal props. Its main body is between living and dead, but it has a powerful perception and resonance ability. In the past two days, I and Junior Brother Wang Lu have worked together to further transform it so that its image can be directly projected on the water curtain, so that we don't need to personally establish a connection with it, thus avoiding the risk. Next, as long as we place it outside the city, when the wind of destruction comes, we can hide in the house in the city, watch the image sent by the sentry guard from outside the city, and analyze its mystery. "
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mumu was stunned for a moment, and then she shook her head. "This is too whimsical. It's not like this sentry guard props have never been used before. There are also shadows of nothingness and the like among the demon race. If this remote monitoring can analyze the secret of the wind of destruction, the demon race would've done it a long time ago. "
"Humph, mortal wisdom!" Zhan Ziye coldly snorted, and then explained, "The reason why the demon race's remote monitoring failed is because the moment the wind of destruction comes, all the shadows of nothingness will instantly disappear, so there's no time to transmit the message, and there's no wreckage for people to study. But this sentry guard of mine is different from the demon race's outdated products. Its biggest advantage is that the way it transmits information is through resonance, so the image is completely synchronized, without any hindrance. At the same time, the frequency of information transmission is very fast, and the sensitivity is also very high, so no details will be missed. As long as the wind of destruction comes, I can discover the secret behind it through the sentry guard! "
"This …" Zhou Mumu was slightly shaken. If it was just remote monitoring, it didn't seem to be risky, and it was very feasible. "Alright … But you must be careful, because I have an ominous premonition that great danger seems to be hidden behind the wind of destruction."
"It's precisely because you have big breasts that you should try it yourself," Wang Lu said.
"…"

After confirming the plan, the five of them began to put it into practice.
The principle of the sentry guard was simple, but the practical application was not. An immortal art prop that transmitted information with zero delay, and at the same time ensured that the information was sufficient, required very powerful and precise control of magic. And this was a little difficult for the cultivators of the King Pill. Wang Lu and Zhan Ziye alone were not enough to control it, so the other lead disciples had to participate in it.
At the same time, due to the great reputation of the wind of destruction, all the demons who tried to explore it in the past two thousand years in the new demon world disappeared without exception, which made this move inevitably a bit risky. Although in theory, the five of them did not really need the divine sense necklace of the sentry guard, so even if the sentry guard was instantly destroyed, it would not cause a backlash. However, there were exceptions to everything. How could the five of them, Daoist Masters of the King Pill, rashly try a problem that could make the new demon world helpless for two thousand years without any risk?
However, if they didn't take any risk, did they really have to cultivate to the Realm of Breaking the Void and then consider returning to Nine Regions? That was not the way to do it.
Therefore, the next thing they did was to arrange the array. The main structure was a circular five elements array, with a sentry guard in the center, which resonated with the one that was placed outside the city in advance. After the resonance was established, the two round eyes of the sentry guard in the array began to shine, and two beams of light were projected on the wall of the room. A trickle of water flowed on the wall, forming a water curtain. A moment later, the light was projected on the water curtain, and the image gradually became clear.
Outside the city, it was already dark. The new demon world did not have the bright galaxy of Nine Regions, nor the bright moon. Even the light in the city had been extinguished. For a time, the five of them could not see anything.
Fortunately, Wang Lu was already prepared. He reached out and touched the array under his feet. A trace of spiritual energy entered the array and was transmitted to the outside of the city by means of resonance.
The sentry guard outside the city immediately shone, which was a good insurance measure that Wang Lu had set up before. Once there was no light source, it would automatically illuminate the surroundings.
After there was light, the surrounding scene became clear … The new demon world under the curtain of night looked no different from the past. Obviously, the wind of destruction had not really arrived.
However, the five lead disciples were all focused. Zhan Ziye, who presided over the array, had a slight sweat on his forehead — with his Daoist Master of the King Pill's golden body without leakages, it could be seen that his mind was very nervous at this time.
Under high tension, the concept of time had become distorted. After an unknown period of time, Wang Lu finally saw a trace of abnormality in the water curtain projection.
"It seems to be coming!"
Before this, no one had seen the wind of destruction with their own eyes. However, the message that resonated through the sentry guard was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Something was indeed coming.
And just when everyone realized this, the sentry guard in the five elements array suddenly exploded!
"Damn, sure enough!"
Wang Lu and Zhan Ziye cursed in unison. At the same time, they changed the array to isolate the sentry guard in the middle. Then, a series of dazzling explosions continued in the five elements array.
Fortunately, they did not establish a connection with the sentry guard. Otherwise, the backfire would probably be enough to kill anyone present.
"... It's really sudden. Did you guys see anything?"
After suppressing the backfire, Wang Lu asked the others.
However, from Qiong Hua to Zhou Mumu, they all shook their heads. Just now, they just had a premonition that a crisis was coming, but before anything actually happened, the sentry guard had already exploded. Even though they were fully focused, they did not see any clues.
"... Very well, we have already expected this, so … start the playback function."
After Wang Lu said that, Zhan Ziye pointed at the water curtain on the wall. Suddenly, the water curtain set off ripples, and the picture returned to the previous one, but the playback speed was slowed down by thousands of times.
This was also the biggest role of the five elements array on the ground — to faithfully record all the feedback from the sentry guard for playback.
After the playback was slowed down by thousands of times, everyone finally saw a clue in the picture.
It was an almost imperceptible grayish white in the dark night.
When that grayish white was magnified again, Wang Lu's face suddenly changed.
"This is … the spirit of the dead skeleton?"
That's right … With the memory of the top student of Spirit Sword Sect, how could he not remember that this was the spirit of the dead skeleton that he had seen countless times in the black tide of the Western Mountain?
This wind of destruction was indeed inextricably linked to the black tide!
