In the cave below the valley, the dazzling white light emitted by the white scroll gradually dissipated. The white pillar of light that shot into the sky also became thinner and thinner until it disappeared without a trace.
High up in the sky, the huge black vortex gradually calmed down after the white pillar of light disappeared. It once again turned into black clouds, as if the scene just now had never happened.
In the cave, the hook-nosed middle-aged man and the grey-robed woman saw the Three Light River of the Luo Diagram suddenly change back to its original state. Their expressions changed several times.
The two looked at each other and hurriedly waved their hands to form a spell. They carefully examined the Three Light River of the Luo Diagram.
After a while, the two stopped their hand seals at the same time. They were a bit startled. Obviously, they didn't find anything.
"What happened just now?" The grey-robed woman's eyes flashed as she asked.
"You ask me, but who should I ask? However, the Three Light River of the Luo Diagram won't change for no reason. Something must have happened. "The hook-nosed man first rolled his eyes at the grey-robed woman, then his expression sank as he muttered to himself.
"Could it be related to the Qing family cultivators that entered the secret realm?" The grey-robed woman suddenly thought of something and said.
"It's very likely. Perhaps the Qing family cultivators have finally grasped some clues about the secret realm after so many years of searching … That's just right. We can kill all of them and use the soul searching technique to seize those clues. Maybe it will help us this time." The hook-nosed man's face flashed fiercely as he spoke with a cold smile.
Hearing this, the grey-robed woman nodded. Her gaze turned to look at the water mirror beside her, and her expression suddenly changed.
In the water mirror, only the images of Qing Gu, Qing Songzi, and Qing Chang could be seen. Liu Ming's figure had disappeared without a trace.
"Why is one person missing?" The grey-robed woman's expression sank. She immediately muttered something and water light shone from her body. The water light flashed in front of her, and a dozen water mirrors appeared.
The images in the mirror quickly changed. It seemed to show the situation in every corner of the secret realm. However, after looking for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the two had almost looked through the entire secret realm, but they still couldn't find Liu Ming's figure.
"It seems that person should have cultivated some kind of aura concealment technique. However, if even your Thousand Mirror Pupils can't find him, then this person really isn't simple. In my opinion, the change in the Three Light River Diagram is most likely related to this person. "The hook-nosed man snorted.
"Several other cultivators from the Qing Family are flying over as well," the grey-robed woman said, her face somewhat ugly to behold.
"There is no need to panic. They are just three small fries. Go gather the nearby Black Star Moths and test out these cultivators' abilities. If possible, make use of the opportunity to kill them. However, I am guessing that the person who has concealed his aura may be lurking on the side and ambushing you. You have to be more careful. "The hook-nosed man thought for a moment and said lightly.
"That's naturally not a problem, but what do you want to do?" The woman replied. Then, she thought of something and looked at the hook-nosed man.
The hook-nosed man's eyes flashed as he said, "The disturbance just now seems to have loosened the restrictions on the Tri Guang River Luo Diagram. I'll stay here and see if I can use this opportunity to refine another layer."
The grey-robed woman's expression relaxed and she didn't say anything else. Her body moved, turning into a streak of grey light and flying into the sky.
Before she arrived, a crack appeared in the sky above the cave, revealing a door.
The grey-robed woman flew out of the cave without slowing down at all, and the door to the cave was immediately closed again.
The hook-nosed man's eyes flashed. After the grey-robed woman left the cave, he sat down cross-legged again and made a series of hand seals in front of his chest. At the same time, he chanted a cryptic incantation.
In the next moment, a large expanse of faint azure light appeared on his body and surrounded the Three Light River Luo Diagram in front of him.
As the hook-nosed man's hand seals rapidly changed, the azure light flashed and gradually turned into a square barrier that was several feet wide. The Three Light River Luo Diagram slowly rotated within it.
After doing this, the hook-nosed man seemed to be relieved. Then, he suddenly stomped his feet and turned into an azure streak of light that flew out.
In the void outside the valley, two streaks of light, one green and one red, flew silently from afar and arrived above the valley almost at the same time.
The red and green rays of light slowly dissipated, and the silhouettes of Qing Gu, Qing Songzi, and Qing Chang emerged in midair.
"Elder Qing Gu, what a coincidence!" Qing Songzi said with a fake smile.
"So it's Qing Songzi and Qing Shang. It seems that you've also noticed the astronomical phenomenon just now, so you rushed over." Qing Gu glanced at Qing Song Zi and Qing Song Zi. He stretched out his hand to touch his bald head and said with a laugh.
Qing Songzi sneered a few times noncommittally. He looked around and changed the topic, saying, "Don't worry, I won't kill you.
"Eh? Why don't I see that Elder Liu Ming? Could it be that he didn't travel with fellow daoist Qing Gu? "
"When Elder Liu first entered the secret realm, he acted alone. He didn't travel with me," Elder Qing Gu said lightly.
When Qing Songzi heard this, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Qing Shang, then shook his head and said with a slight sneer, "Elder Qing Gu, your cultivation is superb, and your divine sense is also abnormally strong. It's fine for you to act alone. However, this newly promoted Elder Liu really thinks too highly of himself. He's only at the early stage of Celestial Phenomenon, yet he dares to wander around alone in the secret realm. Who knows, he might have already died without knowing why. "
"I believe that Elder Qing Songzi has a deep understanding of Elder Liu's strength. Now that he's acting alone, I believe that he also has something to rely on, "Qing Gu said with a meaningful look on his face.
Qing Songzi's face suddenly flashed with a trace of red, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Being defeated by Liu Ming in front of the Qing family was the most shameful thing in his nearly one thousand years of lifespan. Now that Qing Gu specifically mentioned it, how could he not be angry?
"Elder Qing Songzi, don't be angry. I didn't mean it that way. I'm afraid that there's a big secret hidden in this valley. Let's first explore the valley together. "Qing Gu cupped his hands and changed the topic.
Qing Shang also gently pulled on Qing Songzi's sleeve and shook her head imperceptibly.
Qing Songzi's expression changed, and he took a deep breath. After a moment, his expression returned to normal.
"Elder Qing Gu is right. Let's get down to business first," Qing Shang said with a smile as she combed her beautiful hair behind her ear.
"That's how it should be. However, do you two have any clues about the valley below?" Qing Gu asked with a solemn expression.
"Elder Qing Gu, why ask when you already know the answer? You arrived here almost at the same time as us. What can you know?" Qing Songzi said with a cold snort.
Qing Gu's eyes flashed, and just as he was about to speak, a crackling sound suddenly came from afar. A black cloud flew out from the black forest outside the valley and flew toward Qing Gu and the other two.
The expressions of the three changed. The black cloud was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had flown close to them.
Within the black cloud, there were many fist-sized moths with bright red eyes and jet-black bodies. There were tens of thousands of them.
"Wu wu" A strange whining sound suddenly erupted from within, and a layer of gray dust appeared on the surface. Like a wave, it seemed slow but was actually fast as it rushed toward the three people. In the blink of an eye, the three people were trapped inside.
"What the hell is this?" Qing Songzi's expression changed greatly when he saw this.
Qing Gu looked at the countless black moths that were flying over quickly, and his expression also changed. A hint of retreat appeared on his face. However, his gaze looked at the valley below with some reluctance.
In the time that he hesitated, the countless black moths had already rushed in front of him. The wings of the moths were dotted with white spots like the stars in the night sky.
The countless moths flapped their wings, and a large amount of black and gray dust covered the sky and swarmed toward the three people.
"Be careful, I've read in an ancient book that these moths are called Black Star Moths. The dust they emit can dissipate a person's magic power, and it also has a certain degree of toxicity. You absolutely cannot get it on your body." Qing Gu gave a loud shout, and red light shone from his body. A fiery-red Changling Transcendent Artifact appeared, and stretched out in an instant. It transformed into a red sphere, and protected his body inside.
When Qing Songzi and Qing Chang heard this, their expressions changed. After a brief moment of shock, they immediately reacted and hurriedly used their respective defensive methods.
Qing Songzi's hand shone with green light, and a green flag appeared. On it was embroidered a green flaming spirit flame.
He waved his hand, and the spirit flame pattern on the green flag shone brightly. Dozens of green flames the size of a human head flew out, surrounding his body and forming a green ring of fire.
A white light flashed on top of Qing Chang's head, and a white umbrella-shaped Dharma Treasure appeared. Rays of white light fell down and condensed into a white barrier, protecting her inside.
The three people had just finished setting up their defenses when the overwhelming black moth powder surged toward them.
When the three people's defensive spirit light came into contact with the moth powder, the light immediately dimmed. Fortunately, the quality of their Dharma Treasures was excellent, so they quickly stabilized.
Countless black moths also rushed over and surrounded the three people. Not only did their wings emit black and gray moth powder, but their mouths also spewed out black light toward the three people.
Qing Gu and the other two people were attacked from all sides, so they hurriedly stood back to back.
Qing Gu's expression was still calm as he said, "Be careful, these Black Star Moths are strange. They are most likely being commanded by someone. I'm afraid the enemy is in the valley below."
"No matter what, these strange moths are too much of an eyesore. Let's kill them all first." A cold light flashed in Qing Songzi's eyes. He chanted a few incantations and fiercely waved the large flag in his hand.
The green spirit flame pattern on the flag suddenly changed, turning into a green wind blade.
Qing Songzi waved his hand, and the large green flag shone brightly. Countless green wind blades appeared and shot toward the surrounding Black Star Moths.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The green wind blades were obviously not ordinary wind blades. Hundreds of Black Star Moths were immediately cut into several pieces and fell down.
