The Sacred Flame Sect and the Intentionless Sect had hundreds of years of heritage. In such a long time, Mo Wen would not believe that they had not obtained something good from the Huatian Palace.
"It is indeed a little tricky. I hope that there is no one in the Sacred Flame Sect who understands formations."
Mo Wen furrowed his brows slightly. Stratagem techniques relied on the Power of Heaven and Earth. How much power could be unleashed, other than the stratagem itself's rank, it also depended on the attainments of the person who had set up and operated the stratagem.
For a person who did not have a deep understanding of array formations, even if he could arrange an array formation, the power of the array formation would be greatly reduced, and it would be very difficult for him to exert it to its limit.
However, if it was a person who had a good understanding of the Dao of Formations, even an ordinary formation would be able to exert extraordinary power.
Mo Wen was a person who had some understanding of stratagem techniques. In the past, he had not only practiced alchemy techniques, but he had also practiced simple stratagem techniques. Although his level was not high, he was comparable to an ordinary immortal cultivator.
If there was no one in the Sacred Flame Sect who was proficient in formations, he was confident that he could sneak into the formation without being discovered.
After muttering to himself for a while, Mo Wen took out the straw cape spiritual weapon from the medicine spiritual ring. A mist enveloped his body, causing his body to seem illusory. It was as if he was there and not there, as if he had completely blended in with the surrounding night.
Mo Wen did not use the power of the Invisible Talisman. The straw cape spiritual weapon itself had the ability to conceal itself. It was more than enough to deal with ordinary ancient martial art practitioners. If he used the Invisible Talisman alone, it would be overkill.
A wisp of smoke traveled silently in the dark night. Within a thousand meters of the inner city, there were already warning strips. Groups of Sacred Flame Sect ancient martial art practitioners held torches and patrolled the surroundings continuously. Occasionally, ancient martial art practitioners with the Qi Nucleation realm would appear. The security was so tight that not even a fly could fly in.
However, Mo Wen seemed to have entered an uninhabited realm. The concealment effect of the straw cape spiritual weapon made it impossible for those ancient martial art practitioners below the Golden Elixir realm to discover him.
In a short while, Mo Wen had stealthily snuck to the bottom of a city wall. He looked up. The city wall was at least 30 meters tall. There were many other slightly taller walls in the surroundings. If he flew in directly, there might be martial arts practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm guarding the area. It was very likely that they would discover his tracks.
He took out the Invisibility Charm from the Medicine Spiritual Ring, turned invisible, and flew up the city wall.
Sure enough, on top of a sentry post five hundred meters away, a white-robed old man sat cross-legged. His sharp eyes scanned the night sky, as if even the thick darkness could not block his eyes.
He was an ancient martial art practitioner of the Golden Elixir realm. He was responsible for preventing people from outside the city from sneaking into the city and preventing people from escaping from the city.
Mo Wen leisurely streaked across the night sky. The power of the Invisible Talisman made it impossible for the old man to detect him. Even if he passed by in front of him, he would only think that it was a gust of wind.
After flying into the inner city, Mo Wen scanned his surroundings. The buildings in the inner city were very much like a palace. However, right now, it was divided into two parts. The outer circle was obviously under the control of the Sacred Flame Sect. Under the envelopment of the stratagem, the entire inner city was locked down tightly.
"Hallucination Array Formation."
Mo Wen discovered that the moment he entered the inner city, the scenery in front of him started to distort strangely. Then, the scenery kept changing. It was like a dream, making it impossible for people to tell what was real and what was not. One moment, he was in the garden, the next moment, he was on the street, and the next moment, he was in the palace …
There were many types of stratagems. The hallucination type was one of them. Other than that, there were also offensive, defensive, auxiliary, sealing … and other types of stratagems. The hallucination type of stratagem had many uses. It was very suitable to trap a large number of people.
If the people in the inner city wanted to break out, they would definitely trigger the stratagem. Once the stratagem was triggered, they would be trapped in the hallucination stratagem. It would be difficult for them to break out in a short period of time. This period of time was enough for the people of the Sacred Flame Sect to discover them. Then, they could easily kill them in the stratagem.
No wonder no one from the Intentionless Sect had been able to escape after such a long time. When normal ancient martial art practitioners encountered such a strange situation, they could only follow the rhythm of the Sacred Flame Sect.
Mo Wen had studied the path of stratagem techniques. This hallucination stratagem was only the most basic stratagem. It was not very profound. He could break it without worrying about the people of the Sacred Flame Sect discovering it. At the end of the day, Mo Wen was also half an immortal cultivator. Even if those ancient martial art practitioner sects had some understanding of the world of immortal cultivators, they were ultimately not immortal cultivators.
The key to breaking the hallucination stratagem was walking. It was similar to walking in a maze. If one followed the path of the power of the hallucination stratagem, it would be very easy to pass. However, if one did not follow the path of the hallucination stratagem and caused a conflict, one would be heavily obstructed.
Mo Wen walked left and right in the hallucination stratagem. It was as though he was taking a stroll. The people of the Sacred Flame Sect actually did not discover him. They seemed to treat him as part of the stratagem and could not detect any abnormalities.
After about fifteen minutes, Mo Wen finally walked out of the hallucination stratagem. The scene in front of him changed. A huge palace building appeared in front of him. The illusory scene had completely disappeared at this moment.
However, the scene in front of him was also very abnormal. In the dark night, a frightening cold wind was howling. Snowflakes were falling from the sky. The snow piled up and covered all the buildings. Occasionally, it would cause a frightening snowstorm. It was enough to make a Qi Nucleation realm ancient martial art practitioner lose his footing.
The strange thing was that the buildings were not affected by such terrible weather. They remained standing in the snowstorm.
"Snow Storm Stratagem."
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth curled into a bitter smile. He had just broken a stratagem. In the end, another stratagem appeared in front of him. Moreover, it was a Snow Storm Stratagem that combined attack and defense. It used the power of heaven and earth to form a frightening destructive and defensive power.
Rumble!
There was a loud sound. Two hundred meters to Mo Wen's right, a figure flew out from the snowstorm. It hit the ground hard and splashed snow water all over the sky.
That person only struggled for a moment. Then, his body stiffened and he died in the snow.
Mo Wen flew over in a flash and glanced at the dead person. He noticed that this person was wearing a red robe with a golden flame embroidered on his chest. That was the symbol of the Sacred Flame Sect. The more flame symbols on the chest, the higher their status.
A golden flame symbol could only be obtained by an ancient martial art practitioner with at least the Qi Nucleation realm.
This person was already completely dead. There were hundreds of wounds on his body. Each of them was so deep that his bones could be seen. The wounds crisscrossed each other. He must have been attacked by the Snow Storm Stratagem and died under the wind blades that filled the sky.
Mo Wen's eyes flashed. From the looks of it, the Snow Storm Stratagem in front of him should not be a trick of the Sacred Flame Sect. Instead, it should be a trick of the Intentionless Sect. No wonder the Sacred Flame Sect had not been able to take down the Intentionless Sect after half a month. The Intentionless Sect's foundation was most likely not simple.
"Who are you?"
Just as Mo Wen was thinking, another person flew out from the snowstorm in a sorry state. He appeared less than ten meters away from Mo Wen. He seemed to have suffered some minor injuries, but it was not a big deal.
When he noticed Mo Wen, his expression immediately changed and he shouted loudly. It was because this youth was not wearing the attire of the Sacred Flame Sect. He was definitely not a member of the Sacred Flame Sect.
"I am a good person."
Mo Wen turned around and glanced at the person. Then, he revealed a very kind and bright smile. He looked like a sunny youth.
"You are looking for death."
The person from the Sacred Flame Sect was furious. This youth had actually dared to tease him. Moreover, his origins were unknown. He was not a member of the Sacred Flame Sect, nor did he look like a member of the Intentionless Sect. He was actually an outsider!
But, how could an outsider appear here? This was definitely not normal.
The person did not care about the injuries on his body and directly pounced towards Mo Wen. He wanted to capture this lad and interrogate him. Who knows, it might even be a great merit.
"If I were you, I would definitely turn and run."
Mo Wen sighed and looked at the person as though he was looking at an idiot.
"Shameless boasting." The person laughed coldly and completely ignored Mo Wen's alarmist words. What abilities could a youth have? He could easily crush him to death.
Rumble!
There was a loud sound. The person had not even pounced onto Mo Wen's body when a fist strangely enlarged in front of his eyes. Then, with a bang, his body flew out and fell onto the snowy ground. He only struggled for a while before he breathed his last.
Before he died, he finally understood a problem. A youth had appeared in the inner city and no one had actually discovered him. Then …
Mo Wen did not even look at the person and directly walked into the snowstorm. The further he walked, the stronger the wild snowstorm became. He had only walked a few hundred meters when the snowstorm suddenly increased tenfold. Even a Qi Nucleation realm ancient martial art practitioner would most likely find it difficult to move an inch in such a snowstorm.
Along the way, he discovered quite a number of people from the Sacred Flame Sect. They were like headless flies running around in the snowstorm. Some of them directly died under the frightening wind blades.
However, Mo Wen discovered that the cultivation of those people from the Sacred Flame Sect was not very high. There were not many of them in the Embryonic Breathing realm. Instead, there were many ancient martial art practitioners in the Qi Nucleation realm. It would be very difficult for ancient martial art practitioners of this level to even persevere in the Snow Storm Stratagem, let alone attack the inner city.
"The Sacred Flame Sect is really vicious."
Mo Wen only needed a glance to understand the intentions of the Sacred Flame Sect. Those ancient martial art practitioners in the Qi Nucleation realm could not play a key role at all. However, they could be used to wear down the power of the Snow Storm Stratagem. To put it bluntly, they were just cannon fodder.
Although the stratagem used the Power of Heaven and Earth to activate its power, it needed to maintain the power of the stratagem's operation. Such a huge Snow Storm Stratagem would most likely consume a large number of spiritual stones every day. Even though the Intentionless Sect had a few hundred years of heritage, they were after all only an ancient martial art sect. Their spiritual stone reserves were definitely limited. When the spiritual stones were depleted, the Snow Storm Stratagem would definitely collapse on its own.
The Sacred Flame Sect was using the lives of those ancient martial art practitioners in the Qi Nucleation realm and the Sea of Qi realm to wear down the power of the Snow Storm Stratagem.
Along the way, quite a number of people discovered Mo Wen. However, everyone who discovered Mo Wen did not have a lucky ending.
As they continued to go deeper, Mo Wen had already walked to the central region of the stratagem. The power of the stratagem was also getting stronger and stronger. Those cannon fodder of the Sacred Flame Sect could not be seen anymore. Even an ancient martial art practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm would most likely find it difficult to persevere in the position of the stratagem's core.
The Snow Storm Stratagem's level was much higher than the psychedelic stratagem. Its destructive power was enough to make all ancient martial art practitioners below the Golden Elixir realm tremble in fear.
Rumble!
A gust of wind and snow shot over, causing Mo Wen's clothes to flutter in the wind. Not far in front of him, there were three silhouettes fighting wildly. They were actually all ancient martial art practitioners in the Golden Elixir realm. The ripples they caused caused the Snow Storm World to be extremely violent. (To be continued.)
