"Let's find the weakest part of the formation first!" This array covered the entire building, so there would definitely be a secret door, which was the place where the array was weaker.
Zhu Yao carefully circled around this tower, only to hear Ying Luo's voice transmission from above. "It's here!"
She rode on her sword and flew up. Sure enough, she saw a spot on the roof where the spiritual aura was obviously weaker than the rest. However, there was a Wind Chime Formation there.
"My granddaddy!" Ying Luo could not help but curse out.
The Wind Chime Array was different from other arrays. It had almost no offensive function, but as long as the array was touched, it would produce a loud bell-like sound.
If they were to enter from here, it would be obvious to the others that someone had barged in to snatch the Dharma artifact.
"My girl Yu Yao, what do you think …" What should we do?
"I remember this building is made of wood." She suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.
Ying Luo blanked for a moment, before nodding. "That's right."
"Are you good at wood-elemental spells?"
"It's … it's alright."
"That's fine." Zhu Yao said. "You just have to directly accelerate the growth of this wooden building, and have all of the wood awaken. Then, you just have to desperately grow them."
"You're saying …" Ying Luo's eyes shone.
Zhu Yao nodded. The defense on the outside of this building was very tight, and it was very hard to enter from the outside. However, opening it from the inside would be a different story. This building was made of wood, so the array formation would not be on guard against it. If the wood inside started to sprout and grow, the array formation would not be triggered. As long as the wooden building opened an entrance on its own, the array formation would be useless.
However, this method could only be used by those with a Wood Spirit Root. Even if her Thunder Spirit Root converted spiritual energy, it would more or less carry the aura of Thunder spiritual energy, which would be easily detected by the formation. And Ying Luo possessed the penta spirit veins, so it was perfect for her to take action.
Ying Luo cast a wood-type mystic art, and circulated her spiritual energy. Suddenly, not even a moment later, green sprouts began to emerge from the wood on the entire rooftop, and they grew even more luxuriant. Slowly, they gathered towards their direction, and began to intertwine with one another. In the end, they turned into a circular passageway formed by trees. It stretched out directly from the roof, as if it had forcefully opened a hole in the formation.
"Alright, let's go in!" Ying Luo was overjoyed, as she had already flown in first.
Zhu Yao paused for a moment. She looked at this passageway, and at the entrance below, which was still a little frightening. Suddenly, she had a feeling that everything had come too easily. Was she imagining things?
"My girl Yu Yao, hurry and come!" Ying Luo urged from inside.
Zhu Yao suppressed the doubts in the depths of her heart, and followed in.
Since they entered from the top floor, they were on the top floor. There were a few spirit swords inside, but there was no target magic weapon. The two of them continued their search until they reached the first floor. Only then did they see a dark green flute placed on a high platform. Black Qi constantly flowed around the body of the flute and golden characters could be seen faintly on it.
"Found it."
Zhu Yao looked at the flute, and the bad premonition in the depths of her heart grew even stronger. "I just feel that this journey has been too smooth."
"The mystic artifact back then went rather smoothly too, didn't it?" Ying Luo said.
That was true!
Ying Luo took a step forward. Just as she was about to take that flute, formations suddenly flashed in the surroundings.
"Be careful!" Zhu Yao casually pulled, and immediately pulled her away. At the place where she was standing earlier, four chains instantly appeared and flew up. They flew towards the center, and if she had not pulled them fast enough, Ying Luo would have already been locked up.
"This is …" She was startled as well. Earlier, there were completely no ripples of formations in the building. Just how did this formation appear?
"Hurry and dodge." The four chains from earlier did not stop, and instead, chased after the two of them.
Zhu Yao gave her a push, pushing her a few feet away, and then, she leapt backwards. Coincidentally, she had retreated to the entrance, and just as she was about to cast an art to restrain the four chains, Ying Luo suddenly shouted out with a pale face.
"Yu Yao!"
Zhu Yao could not react in time, and in the next moment, she simply felt something charging straight at her back, heavily striking her back. Unknowingly, the door to the building had already opened, and a large amount of red light shone, instantly illuminating the entire building. Zhu Yao puked out a mouthful of blood, and simply felt a ringing sound resounding next to her ears. It was especially ear-piercing, and for no reason, it could cause one's heart to tremble.
Ying Luo could no longer endure it, as she puked out a mouthful of blood.
"Girly!" Zhu Yao endured the pain, and wanted to head over.
Suddenly, a string of copper bells flew in, and the ear-piercing sounds endlessly came from within. Furthermore, the copper bells grew larger, and in an instant, they filled the entire floor. Zhu Yao had no choice but to fly out of the building, only to see that Nascent Soul practitioners from various sects had long gathered outside, and the one leading them was Ding Chunqiu.
The hell, she just knew that people called Ding Chunqiu weren't good people.
She finally understood what was amiss about earlier. The formations in this building were all to prevent people from entering, and not to prevent people from exiting. If it was truly to guard a mystic artifact, it was impossible for it to only prevent people from entering and not exiting.
Ding Chunqiu had long planned it, and was just waiting for them to deliver themselves to his doorstep.
The moment Zhu Yao flew out, the building had already collapsed. The copper bells flew out, and had already grown to the height of a human. The ringing of the bells reverberated, and the copper bells actually began to slowly turn transparent, revealing an absolute beauty in a green robe and green skirt.
"Girly!" Zhu Yao was stunned. Since when was she locked in the copper bells? And she had even recovered her original appearance.
"Ying Luo, as I thought, it's that dead Ying Luo!" The crowd let out cries of shock.
"How could she possibly come back to life? Didn't her soul scatter a long time ago? "
"Then what about the Devil? Did she come back to life as well? "
"Heavens, that other woman can't be a Devil, right?"
"It's no wonder they're here to snatch the mystic artifact."
"Everyone!" Ding Chunqiu suddenly said loudly. "Ying Luo has already been bewitched by the Devil, and has already turned into a Devil. For the sake of all living beings in the world, we definitely cannot let these two Devils off today."
When the crowd heard this, they drew out their own weapons one after another, looking as though they were planning to go all out.
Zhu Yao puked out blood from anger. She just knew that the moment the girly's identity was exposed, these people would gang up on her. If it were any other time, she really wouldn't place these people in her eyes. However, that strange copper bell earlier had instantly shattered her Dantian, and it was already not bad that she was able to hold on.
"Yu Yao." Ying Luo's voice transmission suddenly sounded in the depths of her heart. "Take the emerald bamboo flute and leave! Remember what you promised me, to completely eliminate the Devil. "
The hell, girly, do you have to be such a saint!? And now, you're still thinking about the Devil. Those people are the ones who want to kill you!
"I'm … a dead person in the first place." As though she knew what she was thinking, her voice sunk. "Hurry and leave. If your identity is exposed, it will affect Forgotten God Palace."
Zhu Yao turned to look at the flute in the ruins, and then turned to look at Ying Luo who was already surrounded and attacked by the various sects in the copper bell. Gritting her teeth, she swung her sword to deflect a Nascent Soul practitioner who was attacking her.
She immediately summoned her sword intent.
A lightning phoenix instantly soared into the sky. Its sharp cry instantly resounded through the clouds, suppressing the sound of the copper bell. With a twist of Zhu Yao's hand, that lightning phoenix charged straight towards the copper bell. With a cracking sound, a crack appeared on the copper bell.
She immediately flew over, and reached out her hand to pass through that crack. In an instant, her right hand felt as though it was being pierced by thousands of steel needles, and the pain was unbearable. Yet, she had no choice but to endure it, as she desperately pulled the girl Ying Luo out. When she looked at her palm again, it was already a bloody mess.
It really fucking hurts.
Zhu Yao recalled her sword intent. The lightning phoenix flapped its wings and suddenly changed directions, pouncing straight towards the other practitioners. The sky was filled with lightning pressure, causing everyone to kneel onto the ground. Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yao pulled the girl, and madly flew towards the east.
"Yu Yao, you shouldn't have … saved me?" Ying Luo suddenly spoke up.
"Bullshit!" Zhu Yao really wanted to turn around and spit on her face. Not caring if she believed it or not, she immediately said it out. "This old lady will be honest with you. I'm basically not here for some Devil or whatever. This old lady's goal is to save you."
"…" The girl was stunned.
A long while later …
"Yu Yao."
"Mn?"
"As I thought … I'm the one you like, right?"
"…" Don't force me to kick you down. "
— — — —
Zhu Yao madly flew the entire way. In the first place, the spiritual energy in her shattered Dantian had already mostly dispersed, and she had even forcefully summoned her sword intent earlier. She felt an unprecedented fatigue, and the spiritual energy in her body was about to reach the bottom. After flying for a while, she passed the task of flying the sword to Ying Luo. However, her speed had evidently slowed down.
But fortunately, there were no longer any pursuers behind them. With their speed earlier, it was very hard for the various sects to catch up to them.
"What's that place in front?" Zhu Yao faintly saw a floating mountain in front of her, but she did not know why there wasn't any spiritual energy floating in the surroundings. On top of the mountain, she could faintly see the shape of a palace.
"It's that ancient ruin." Ying Luo's eyes shone, as she explained. "It's the one where the Devil resided."
"Let's go in!" Zhu Yao immediately made a decision. Not only was the final mystic artifact here, but because of the Devil, many practitioners would not recklessly approach it either.
Ying Luo naturally understood her intentions, as she immediately flew into that palace on her sword.
That palace was extremely huge, and in its surroundings, there were gigantic stone pillars that were at least three stories tall. Ying Luo searched for a flat ground, before placing her down. She then took out a few energy-replenishing pellets and passed them to her.
"No need." Zhu Yao shook her head. "My Dantian has shattered, so medicinal pellets are basically useless."
Her hands trembled, and her face instantly paled a little. "Yu Yao …"
"It's fine. This isn't the first time my Dantian has shattered either." After being shattered for so long, she had already gotten used to it. Zhu Yao looked at her crying face, and glared at her. "Don't make it look as though I'm about to die."
"But …" Wouldn't a shattered Dantian mean death?
"Don't worry, I can recover." Zhu Yao took a deep breath, sat down in a lotus position, and casually muttered. "I never expected that copper bell to be so incredible either."
"Yu Yao, I'm sorry." Her expression turned even paler. A moment later, she said. "That's a Body Locking Bell, it's a …"
"God's artifact?"
"You know about it?" She had a shocked look.
