Creak!
Mu Zibai slowly opened the stone door. It didn't seem to have triggered any mechanism, nor was there any abnormality. As he pushed the door open, he said indifferently, "Qing Ning, you should believe me now. If there really was a mechanism, it would have been triggered long ago. Heh … What Cloud Sea Devouring Mechanism … What a joke."
Hm?
Qing Ning frowned slightly and examined it carefully. There really didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. However, at this moment, something strange happened. A mysterious pattern suddenly appeared on the ground. Then, the pattern flickered.
"Not good! Be careful! "
Qing Ning was shocked, and so was Mu Zibai. The two of them tried to retreat, but it was too late. The light flashed and instantly enveloped them. In the next moment, an enormous pressure swept over them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
It was real!
There really was a mechanism!
It was as if they had fallen into a deep swamp.
Qing Ning didn't expect it, and Mu Zibai didn't expect it either. At this moment, the two of them didn't have time to think too much. They immediately circulated the spirit energy in their bodies, preparing to forcefully break out. However, when they circulated their spirit energy, they realized that the pressure had become even stronger. The more they circulated their spirit energy, the stronger the pressure. The more they struggled, the more they collapsed. At first, they could still move, but when they circulated their spirit energy, they couldn't even lift their arms.
In the hall, Gu Qingfeng looked at the two people trapped in the mechanism and shook his head. He sighed helplessly and said, "Don't circulate your spirit energy. Don't struggle. Don't do anything. Otherwise, you'll only sink deeper. Stand still and don't move. Don't do anything. Stay calm."
Qing Ning tried to stop circulating her spirit energy. She tried to stop struggling. Indeed … the pressure gradually decreased.
Mu Zibai was still struggling frantically. Perhaps because he was too afraid of death, he couldn't stop struggling. However, the more he struggled, the greater the pressure. He felt like he was about to die.
Gu Qingfeng raised his hand and flicked a spirit art. With a bang, the light dissipated and the mechanism stopped.
Qing Ning immediately felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. However, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. Mu Zibai was paralyzed on the spot. He was like a dead dog as he lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
"This is not a place you should be. Take a rest and leave quickly."
After saying that, Gu Qingfeng opened another stone door and walked in. As he walked, he sighed and lamented that the young people nowadays were overestimating themselves. They were not even proficient in mechanisms and formations, yet they dared to barge into the cave. This was no different from courting death.
But now that he thought about it, he seemed to have done the same thing back then.
Back then, when he was excavating the cave, he had encountered countless dangers. Fortunately, he had always had a benefactor by his side to help him. Otherwise … he would have died countless times.
In the hall, Qing Ning wanted to get up and thank Gu Qingfeng when she saw him leave, but she didn't have the strength to do so. She quickly took out two Essence Pills and gave one to Mu Zibai while she took the other.
Although they had narrowly escaped death just now, the two of them were not injured. Only their vitality had been damaged, and as long as they rested for a while, they would be able to recover.
As she rested, Qing Ning pondered.
She was really curious about who that guy was. Not only could he detect things that she couldn't, but he also seemed to be very knowledgeable about mechanisms. He only took a casual glance and knew that there was a hidden mechanism on the stone door. Moreover, he could even tell what kind of mechanism it was. What surprised Qing Ning even more was that he seemed to have used a spirit art, and then … then the mechanism disappeared?
How did he do it?
She didn't understand!
Although her cultivation was not high enough, she had established her true body and had the title of a Perfected Person. However, she didn't know much about the obscure and heretical immortal arts of mechanisms.
After a while, after some rest, Qing Ning's vitality began to gradually recover, and her complexion improved. Mu Zibai was the same. Although he had not completely recovered, he could already move freely.
"Mu Zibai, how are you?"
Mu Zibai sat cross-legged and continued to rest. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head and replied, "I'm fine."
"Sigh! I told you to be careful, but you didn't listen. If we had listened to his advice, nothing would have happened. " The more Qing Ning thought about it, the more scared she became. She said, "If he hadn't acted just now, we would have died here today."
"Hmph!"
Mu Zibai was an arrogant person with a strong sense of self-esteem. After experiencing what had happened just now, not only did he not feel grateful, he felt that his dignity had been insulted. He also felt that he had lost face in front of Qing Ning. This was something he could not tolerate.
After resting, Qing Ning stood up and said, "He should be in front. Let's go and find him."
"Why are we looking for him?"
Perhaps because he felt that he had lost face, Mu Zibai was no longer the handsome and elegant young master from before. Instead, he became gloomy and cold.
"Mu Zibai, how can you be like this? He saved us just now. We should at least thank him solemnly, right? Moreover, he has already saved me twice. "
Qing Ning was a member of the Jiuhua Alliance and had a noble status. At the very least, her status was much higher than that of the top student of the twelve academies of Yunxia School. Seeing Qing Ning walk towards the stone door, Mu Zibai had no choice but to follow despite his unwillingness.
After passing through two stone doors, they finally saw Gu Qingfeng.
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng was guarding the last array core. He was carefully picking up the fragments of the Purple-Gold Amaterasu Crystal. After all, this was a Purple-Gold Amaterasu Crystal. It contained the spirit of the sun, which was a very violent type of spiritual energy.
If it had been an entire Purple-Gold Amaterasu Crystal, it would not have been a big deal. However, it had turned into a large pile of crystal fragments, causing the spirit of the sun to become very unstable. This was very dangerous. If one was not careful, it could explode. Once this thing exploded, the power would be very terrifying.
As soon as the two of them arrived, they were immediately attracted by the Purple-Gold Amaterasu Crystal fragments. Mu Zibai, in particular, did not know what these fragments were, but he could sense the powerful spiritual energy that these crystal fragments emitted. He had never seen a crystal fragment with such a powerful spiritual energy.
Both he and Qing Ning felt the same. She also did not know what these crystal fragments were, but she could also sense the powerful spiritual energy that the fragments emitted. Similarly, she had never seen a crystal fragment with such a powerful spiritual energy.
"What's the matter? This prince has just saved your little lives. How long has it been, and you want to snatch this prince's things? "
Gu Qingfeng stood beside the high platform and looked at the two of them. He lowered his head and carefully picked up the fragments.
"Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood … We … We're here to thank you for saving our lives. Please tell us your surname …"
Before Qing Ning could finish speaking, Gu Qingfeng was no longer interested in listening. He replied, "There's no need to thank me. If you don't want to die, hurry up and leave."
"Fellow Daoist …"
Qing Ning wanted to say something, but she was once again interrupted by Gu Qingfeng. "Are you done? Get lost! "
"You … How can you be like this!"
In all her life, Qing Ning had never been told to get lost. She pointed at Gu Qingfeng and said unhappily, "I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. We won't steal your fragments. I, Qing Ning, am not that kind of person. Furthermore, you've saved me twice."
With that, Qing Ning said to Mu Zibai, who was next to her, "Let's go."
Mu Zibai did not move, nor did he leave. He stared at the Purple-Gold Amaterasu Crystal fragments with shining eyes.
"Mu Zibai, what are you looking at?"
"Qing Ning, we agreed before we came. If we find any resources in the cave abode, we have to split them equally. That's the rule."
