Xu Lingyun opened her eyes and said coldly, "You're late by two days!"
Xiao Jianming was startled and smiled bitterly, "I haven't seen you for four years, but you're still so cold! I didn't want to be late by two days, but on my way back, I met Master Jiu Rou, who was preaching at the Fengyue Nunnery. Hou Guimen from the Butterfly Fantasy Valley dragged me along to listen to his preaching. It took me two days to get rid of him and rush back to meet him! "
As he spoke, he shook his head, seemingly helpless but also a little proud.
As he expected, the disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect were envious when they heard this.
Those with some knowledge had naturally heard of Master Jiu Rou's name. He was a Buddhist Great Saint with great cultivation. Even though they were Daoists, they could still hear him preach the scriptures. It was very beneficial to their cultivation. Moreover, Hou Gui Men of the Butterfly Illusion Valley was also a genius of his generation. At such a young age, he had already dominated the Chu Region. Perhaps only someone like Brother Xiao could befriend him.
Xu Lingyun ignored Xiao Jianming's explanation and said coldly, "You're late by two days, and fifteen of our disciples have died!"
Xiao Jianming was startled and showed a surprised expression, "How could this be? There shouldn't be such a powerful demonic beast in the Desolation Mountain, right? "
Xu Lingyun stopped talking to him and sighed before closing her eyes.
Many people hurried to tell Xiao Jianming about what happened after they entered the Desolation Mountain. Xiao Jianming frowned at first and asked a few questions from time to time. When they talked about how Fang Xing helped Xu Lingyun kill a Fire Scaled Monster Snake, his eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, "I also heard that there's a Junior Brother called Fang Xing in the Blue Cloud Sect. Not bad, where is he now?"
"Junior Brother Fang … he … he saved us … he probably died …"
Someone was extremely sorrowful and spoke of this matter.
Xiao Jianming was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Someone immediately recounted what had happened in the valley. Xiao Jianming's brows gradually furrowed as he listened. He looked at the valley in disbelief and said, "You said that the valley is a hundred miles to the southeast?"
"That's right, it's that place where wind and energy gather, large amounts of Dream Soul Grass grow!"
Xiao Jianming sucked in a breath of cold air. He stood up and said, "You guys wait here. I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, he let out a clear whistle and flew in that direction. After running for less than three hundred feet, behind the cliff, an iron eagle as big as an elephant had already spread its wings and flew over. Xiao Jianming swept up and jumped onto the eagle's back. Then, one man and one eagle, they flew out at high speed. Not long after, they had already disappeared among the green clouds. The crowd of Blue Cloud Sect disciples did not even have time to react, and they did not know why he was so anxious.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Xiao Jianming is in a hurry to save Senior Brother Fang Xing?"
Someone's eyes lit up and he said with a trembling voice. It was Liu Heihu.
"It's been so long, Fang Xing … I'm afraid …"
Someone else said worriedly, "Although Senior Brother Xiao Jianming is talented, I'm afraid he's still not a match for that Foundation Establishment Realm demon, right?"
Everyone was guessing. No one knew why Xiao Jianming was so anxious.
…
Fang Xing followed the wisp of purple gas and found a hidden cave behind the valley.
He saw that the place was located among the barren mountains and rocks, but there was a depression with a circumference of more than ten feet. It was shrouded in a thick fog, and in the midst of the fog, there was a faint purple gas floating out. However, the purple gas was extremely faint and dispersed by the strong wind. If it was not for the fact that Fang Xing felt that there was a secret in the surroundings and had been observing carefully, he would not have noticed the purple gas at all.
"Damn it, you still want to lie to me?"
Fang Xing observed for a long time and confirmed that this was not an ordinary valley. There was a hint of purple in the thick fog, which was the medicinal aura that only a peerless spirit herb would emit. This meant that in the area enveloped by the thick fog, there would definitely be spirit herbs growing.
As he cursed, he pulled out a handful of the Golden Crow's hair, which made the Golden Crow cry out in pain.
"It's useless even if you find this place. I've been guarding this formation for half a month, and I still can't break it. You're even more useless!"
Fang Xing said, "Anyway, there are treasures here, right?"
Seeing that Fang Xing had found this place, the Golden Crow simply accepted its fate and said, "Since you've found this place, there's no harm in telling you. This valley is the best place to hide wind and gather Qi in the entire Stony Mountain. It's also the place with the densest Qi in the entire valley, so it's very likely that there are elixirs here. However, it's useless if you can't get in …"
Fang Xing tilted his head and looked at the area shrouded in thick fog. "How are you so sure that I can't get in?"
The Golden Crow said disdainfully, "If it was so easy to get into the clouds, I would have gone in long ago! There's a formation below this cave, and it's a Three-Rotation Formation set up by at least a Foundation Establishment expert. It's mysterious and complicated, with more than 4,000 variations. I, the Golden Crow, am a genius with the highest attainment in formations in the Demon Clan, but I still can't get in after studying here for half a month. I'm sure you can't do it either. Give up! "
"It doesn't look like this formation is that powerful …"
Fang Xing squatted outside the thick fog and used the Magic Eye Technique to look for a while. At first, he was confused, but the more he looked, the more shocked he became. Finally, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. His eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
The Golden Crow laughed disdainfully and said, "Then why don't you go in and try …"
Fang Xing glanced at it and suddenly laughed. "I think it's more suitable for you to go in and take a look!"
The Golden Crow turned its head to the side in disdain and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Even if you beat me to death … Wah … "
However, before it could finish speaking, it felt a kick on its butt, and it flew into the formation like a cloud.
"Little bastard, do you want my life? Hurry and pull me out … "
The Golden Crow was so scared that its face broke. It let out a strange cry and started cursing loudly.
Fang Xing's kick really scared it out of its wits. Before it figured out what was going on, entering the array by mistake was an extremely dangerous thing to do. Being trapped inside and not being able to get out was already a light punishment. If it was not careful and entered the door of death, then the power of the entire array would sway towards it and it would definitely be minced into minced meat. Thus, it was so scared that it flapped its wings wildly and ran for its life.
However, once it entered the formation, it immediately lost its sense of the five elements. It was as if it had fallen into another world, and it was surrounded by thick fog. It did not know where to go. At this moment, it suddenly felt the Immortal-constricting Rope on its neck tighten, and its body flew up like a cloud. After a while, the thick fog dissipated and it was already outside the fog. Fang Xing had pulled the Immortal-constricting Rope and pulled it out.
"Bastard, if you want my life, just say it. You don't have to scare me like this …"
The Golden Crow was sprawled on the ground, its face still full of fear.
Fang Xing laughed and said, "See, I'm fine now, aren't I?"
The Golden Crow panted a few times before shouting, "My guts are broken, how is this fine? I was lucky to be pulled out by you just now. If I had accidentally entered the Death Gate, I would have been dead the moment I entered … "
Fang Xing seemed to have just confirmed something and was in a good mood. He said with a smile, "I just confirmed that the direction was not the Death Gate, so I threw you in!"
The Golden Crow said disdainfully, "Who are you trying to fool? How can you see through the Dharma inside … "
Before it could finish, Fang Xing said, "You don't believe me? Try it a few more times! "
As he said that, he kicked it in again. The Golden Crow let out a strange cry and started scolding again.
Fang Xing pulled the Golden Crow out. Seeing that its arms and legs were fine and that it was not injured, he was relieved. Before it could speak again, he looked in another direction and kicked it in. He pulled the Immortal-constricting Rope with one hand and the Golden Crow on the other. Like a golden top, he threw it into the formation and pulled it out again. He did this a few times, using the Golden Crow as a detector.
As it turned out, when he was squatting outside the formation and observing, Fang Xing had been trying to use the Yin Yang God and Demon Mirror to determine whether the formation was real or fake, and whether it was strong or weak. He did not expect that not only did he successfully identify the origin and strength of the formation, but he also identified the positions of the eight gates of the formation. In other words, at this moment, he actually had the ability to see through the foundation of the formation.
Although it was only the foundation, it was already enough for Fang Xing to determine the degree of danger and the positions of the eight gates of the formation. If he went through a more precise divination, he would be able to understand the rules of the entire formation and advance and retreat at will.
