As Lie Feng and the other cultivators entered, the situation of the right passage was revealed.
Just like the left and middle passageways, the first part of the path was paved with Forbidding Essence Stones. However, compared to the left passageway and the first 20 meters of the middle passageway, the right passageway was irregular. Perhaps the first three meters were fine, but the next one meter could seal one's Primordial Spirit and Dharma Power. Then, the next one meter or a few meters would be sealed again. Then, the cycle would repeat itself … Moreover, during this process, the Heart Questioning Illusory Formation, Killing Formation, Maze Formation, Forbidding Formation, Five Elements Formation, and other formations in the left and middle passageways appeared one after another, killing the cultivators who entered this passageway.
Therefore, in less than five minutes, a large number of cultivators had died an unnatural death, becoming skeletons in the passageway. This was especially true for the middle and low level cultivators who were in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stage and had no Severed Soul Stage cultivators leading them. They became the main casualties in the passage, causing many to feel a chill in their hearts. Some were hesitant as to whether or not they should continue.
"Don't panic, take it slow." Seeing that the people he brought were beginning to panic, Lie Feng couldn't help but shout angrily.
"Fellow Daoist Lie, why don't the two of us work together?" At this moment, the black-robed old man who had entered the passage spoke up.
"Alright." Lie Feng's eyes flashed slightly as he replied loudly.
Following this, the two groups of people joined together.
At this moment, Lie Feng opened his mouth and instructed, "San Xin, Mu Bai, you two scout ahead."
"Yes." A young disciple who wore a pattern of three intersecting suns on his cuffs and a fair-skinned young man who was also wearing a red robe, but whose robe was inferior to the other person's, cupped his fists and responded. Then, they walked to the front of the group.
"Qing Song, Qing Chen, you two go help the Scarlet Sun Sect's Senior Martial Brother." The black-robed old man pointed at the two Golden Core cultivators in the group.
"Yes." The two of them replied. They also walked to the front of the group.
Lie Feng and the black-robed old man glanced at each other and smiled lightly as they spoke, "Let's go."
Immediately, the entire group began to move deeper into the passage. At the same time, the eyes of the cultivators who were hesitating about whether or not to go deeper also lit up. They silently followed behind as if they were prepared to rub shoulders with them.
"Hu!"
However, before they could even take a few steps, dozens of red fireballs the size of blue balls shot towards them like meteors.
Seeing the incoming attack, Lie Feng narrowed his eyes and suddenly shouted, "Make way."
Although the disciples on both sides did not understand what Lie Feng meant, they still subconsciously dodged to the sides. In an instant, the passage of time appeared, exposing the dozen or so rogue cultivators behind him.
He couldn't rush to defend himself. They immediately became targets for these fireballs.
Boom!
"Ah!"
Amidst a violent boom, a large ball of fire expanded in the passageway, engulfing the cultivators who were rubbing their legs.
"Fellow Daoist Lie, this … is a bit too much, isn't it?" The black-robed old man, who knew that those people were doomed, frowned and said.
"These people are following behind us sneakily. Who knows if they have any ill intentions? For safety's sake, I'm not sure. It's best to get rid of them. "Lie Feng's expression was calm, and there was no trace of guilt on his face.
The old man thought for a moment and didn't say anything else.
"Let's continue." Lie Feng said to the disciples who were scouting ahead.
"Yes." Three Hearted, Mu Bai, Qing Song, and Qing Chen all felt their hearts tighten as they hurriedly replied. Then, they turned around and carefully moved forward to scout the situation in front of them.
This time, it was a powerful arrow.
Arrows that glittered with cold light shot towards the group formed by Lie Feng and the black-robed old man like rain. Three Hearted, Mu Bai, Qing Song, and Qing Chen, who had completely disregarded these arrows, surged their magic power. They formed a large hand made of profound energy and blocked the arrows. However, in the next moment, the expressions on their faces all changed.
"Not good, these arrows have the ability to break spells!" Three Hearted cried out.
Puff puff puff puff …
In the next second, the arrows flew over and pierced Mu Bai's body without any obstruction, turning him into a spiked tail. Instead, Three Hearted, Qing Song, and Qing Chen relied on a red shield to protect their lives, while the other two used their flying swords to protect their vitals. However, they were unavoidably hit by many arrows and lost the ability to fight.
As for the people behind them, they were already prepared due to the warnings of their predecessors. Thus, the casualties weren't too serious.
"Hahahaha. Good! Shoot! Shoot with all your might! Shoot these vicious bastards to death! "At this moment, a burst of crazy laughter came from behind Lie Feng and the others.
"Who is it!" Lie Feng was enraged when he heard this. He suddenly turned around and shot out a line of fire.
"Lie Feng, even if I become a ghost, I, Xin Chen, will not let you go!" Under the light of the fire heart, a man with a pitch-black body and tattered Daoist robes spoke with a sinister expression.
Boom!
The line of fire hit and instantly blew the so-called Xin Chen into pieces.
"Hmph." Lie Feng coldly snorted with an ugly expression.
"Three Lives, you go." After that, Lie Feng pointed at a disciple in the group who had suffered some minor injuries from the spell breaking arrow and said.
"Yes." Three Lives answered and quickly walked to Three Hearts' side.
"Qing Ye, Qing Feng, you two go replace Qing Song and Qing Chen," the black-robed old man said.
"Yes." The two disciples walked out of the group and went to the front.
Then, the group began to carefully move forward.
Just like that, they traveled for another hour. After experiencing the sneak attacks of the war golem soldiers, the infighting of the illusory formations, and the powerful bombardment of the spell formations, and paying the price of nearly all the disciples, Liefeng and the black-robed old man finally walked through all the passages and arrived before a stone room.
This was also a very large stone room, but it was slightly smaller than the stone room at the end of the left and middle passageways. It was about the size of three basketball courts and was square in shape. The floor was paved with large pieces of white marble. In the innermost part of the room, there was a green jade table and a stone chair covered in white tiger fur.
On the table were beast stones, knives, brushes, beast bones, and some unknown brown beast hides. If one were to view them as the four treasures of the study, it would look very much like a modern office desk.
A stone door that was as tall as a person was on the wall behind the stone table. It was tightly shut, waiting for people to explore it.
On the left and right sides of the stone room, there were two beasts with the head of a leopard and the body of a dog. They were as strong as fierce flames, and their bodies were as black as ink. They were lying on the ground with their eyes closed, and they were not breathing. No one could tell whether they were living beasts or lifelike beasts.
If Sei Itō were here, he would tell them that these two beasts weren't real beasts, but terrifying monsters that had lived since ancient times. If they didn't want to lose their lives, it was best not to step into the hall.
Unfortunately, he wasn't here. Even if he said it, it might not be effective on Lie Feng and the black-robed old man. Therefore, after Lie Feng and the black-robed old man looked at each other, they ignored the remaining disciples behind them and carefully walked into the hall.
In an instant, the two beasts opened their eyes and stared at Lie Feng and the black-robed old man with their scarlet eyes filled with killing intent.
"One each." Lie Feng said loudly.
"Okay." The black-robed old man agreed.
… ….
At this time, time returned to the moment when the cultivators broke through the Yuan Sealing Tunnel and arrived at the intersection.
At the innermost end of the middle intersection, in the stone room.
Sei Itō and Xing Tianyang were confronting each other.
Sei Itō said, "Let me see if the legendary Xing Tianyang is as majestic as the legends say!" The moment he finished speaking, Xing Tianyang suddenly stepped forward and swung his spear at Sei Itō as if he was splitting a mountain.
"Mountain Shattering!"
The spear moved, stirring up the air around the blade. The space around it distorted, shattering several floating white lotuses and tearing apart the illusion of flying fairies. With a boundless pressure, it enveloped Sei Itō.
Sei Itō, who was in the middle of it, moved his wrist slightly and raised his arm. White lotuses gathered on the blade of his sword and appeared at the tip of the spear.
"Whoosh ~"
Amidst a violent whistling sound, the white lotuses shattered and turned into origin energy that spread out in all directions … However, at the tip of the blade, there was a palm-sized green lotus flower that stood proudly at the tip of the sword. It bloomed under Xing Tianyang's spear and blocked his attack.
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Xing Tianyang's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Good!"
Then, his spear circled around the black blade and the lotuses, and then he withdrew his hand. A powerful suction force instantly acted on Sei Itō and pulled him toward Xing Tianyang. At this time, Xing Tianyang's arm paused and he thrust his spear forward again. The extremely fast speed caused a dazzling white light to appear on the spear as it cut through the air and stabbed toward Sei Itō.
"Sky Piercer!"
"Pfft!"
As if he couldn't dodge, Sei Itō could only watch as the spear stabbed into his body. But then, Sei Itō's body changed and exploded into white lotuses that filled the entire stone room.
"Wanton Dance!"
Xing Tianyang's expression didn't change as he madly spun the spear in his hand. Flashes of lightning wreaked havoc in the air as they blasted into the surrounding space, shattering the endless white lotuses and chanting flying fairies into pieces.
But at this time, an extremely weak light suddenly appeared in the terrifying space that Xing Tianyang had created. Then, it suddenly lit up like the sun, illuminating the entire stone room. Then, a violent wave of energy bloomed throughout the stone room like a tsunami.
"Boom!"
In an instant, space trembled, and irregular black cracks spread out like glass, covering the entire stone room.
"Pfft!"
Xing Tianyang, who was in the middle of the explosion, trembled and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
