Senior Brother Qin, the leader of the five-man team, looked around and said, "I remember there was an abandoned mine nearby. Strange, why can't I find it?"
Senior Martial Sister Hu said, "Did you remember wrongly?"
Senior Martial Brother Qin said, "No, when your Senior Martial Brother Xie was still in the Cloudy River Battlefield, he brought me here once. I remember it clearly, it was nearby."
The Senior Martial Brother Xie he mentioned had some impression of him. His cultivation was much higher than theirs. He had already reached the True Lake Stage and left the Cloudy River Battlefield.
As Senior Martial Brother Qin spoke, he led the others down and looked around in confusion. Finally, his gaze landed on a spot.
He walked forward and pushed aside the tall grass. Then, he gently pressed his hand against the stone wall in front of him …
A strange scene appeared. His hand was clearly pressed against the stone wall, but it seemed to have pressed against empty space. When the stone wall rippled, half of his hand was swallowed up.
"It's really here!"
"This is … a concealment array?" Senior Martial Sister Hu also saw some clues.
In such a place, there was actually a concealment array. This undoubtedly meant that there was something wrong. Moreover, this was the last place Lu Yiye appeared. An uncontrollable thought suddenly popped up in the minds of the two.
The two looked at each other and were shocked.
Lu Yiye was inside!
The concealment array at the entrance of the cave was set up by Lu Yiye!
Immediately excited, Senior Martial Sister Hu whispered, "Senior Martial Brother Qin, what do we do?"
Although they had been looking for Lu Yiye, there were so many cultivators looking for Lu Yiye. They didn't think that they could be faster than the others.
But luck was hard to explain. They were actually the first to find Lu Yiye.
Although they didn't see Lu Yiye, there was a concealment array at the entrance of the mine. Anyone could see some clues.
Lu Yiye was now seriously injured and urgently needed to find a hidden and safe place to recuperate. They didn't know how he found this place, hid in it, and then set up a concealment array to block the entrance of the mine.
If Senior Martial Brother Qin hadn't been here before and had some impression of this mine, he wouldn't have found it.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Senior Martial Brother Qin waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
With that, he took the lead and walked towards the stone wall in front of him. As the ripples spread, he disappeared.
Senior Martial Sister Hu followed closely behind, and the other three also entered.
After entering the mine, the light inside was dim. Under Senior Martial Brother Qin's lead, they carefully walked forward.
After walking less than three hundred feet, Senior Martial Brother Qin, who was at the back of the group's's group, and his heart beat violently as if there was great Danger ahead.
He hurriedly called out, "Martial Brother Qin!"
His voice was not loud, but it was extremely abrupt in this quiet environment. The few of them were already very careful, not even daring to breathe loudly. At this moment, they were all startled by Ghost Shadow's cry.
Just as Senior Brother Qin was about to turn around, a flame suddenly appeared in his field of vision, followed by a violent fluctuation of spiritual power.
..... As he shouted, he quickly retreated, but he was still sent flying by the shockwave, and the group of people behind him rolled into a ball.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
In the midst of the dust, the group got up in a sorry state. They saw stars and their eardrums were buzzing.
After a while, they slowly recovered.
"Martial Brother Qin, are you alright?" Senior Martial Sister Hu asked anxiously.
"Cough, cough, I'm fine." Martial brother Qin clutched his chest. His palm was covered in blood. He was secretly glad that Senior Martial Brother Qin had called out to him. Otherwise, he would have died.
It was because of Senior Martial Brother Qin's shout that he instinctively stopped and avoided a disaster. Although he was injured, it wasn't a big deal.
"It's an Explosion Array!" Martial brother Qin immediately judged. "Get out!"
He was sure that Lu Yiye was hiding here! Whether it was the concealment array at the entrance or the Explosion Array in the mine, they were all set up by him.
If there was one Explosion Array, there would be a second one … Now that he had suffered a loss, Martial brother Qin didn't dare to advance rashly.
The group retreated from the mine in a sorry state. But just as they retreated, several figures landed in front of them. Many streams of light were rushing over from all directions.
When the Explosion Array exploded, it caused quite a commotion and attracted a large number of Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who were searching nearby.
In just a short while, more than twenty people had gathered here …
Martial brother Qin sighed. Originally, they were the first to discover Lu Yiye's whereabouts and had the opportunity to monopolize everything, but now that the Explosion Array had been set up in the narrow mine, they had no choice but to retreat. It was foreseeable that the news would soon spread. At that time, more and more cultivators would gather here.
Someone came forward to talk to Martial brother Qin and asked him what had happened just now.
Although Martial brother Qin didn't want to say it, he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden. He could only tell them his guess and the information he had at hand.
A moment later, the news that Lu Yiye was hiding in a mine on the periphery of Great Mang Mountain spread quickly. A large number of cultivators gathered in this location.
The cultivators who came at first weren't very strong. They were all below the Sixth Order.
But as time passed, Seventh Order and Eighth Order cultivators gradually appeared. After half a day, the first Ninth Order Master appeared in front of the mine.
Song Zhui and the others didn't come too late. When they received the news, they immediately rushed over, disregarding the consumption of their Spirit Qi.
But when they arrived, they saw that there were cultivators everywhere. There were at least eight hundred cultivators gathered here, if not a thousand, and the number was still increasing.
What made him feel strange was that although there were many cultivators gathered here, they didn't seem to be moving. They were just waiting.
There was a faint smell of blood, as if someone was injured.
Song Zhui saw a few familiar faces and flew straight in the direction of one of them. He landed in front of that person and cupped his fists, "Brother Zi Zai."
This person was Ning Zi Zai, who had met Song Zhui in the depths of Great Mang Mountain before.
"Brother Song is also here," Ning Zi Zai returned the greeting.
"What's the situation now?" Song Zhui asked.
Ning Zi Zai said, "We can basically confirm that Lu Yiye is hiding inside, but we can't force our way in."
"Why?" Song Zhui was puzzled. Since they were sure that Lu Yiye was hiding inside, even if so many Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators rushed in, Lu Yiye would undoubtedly die.
"Inside there is a mine tunnel that winds for several miles. It connects to a hollowed out mine. Lu Yiye left a large number of explosive Dharma Formations in that mine tunnel. Some people have already tried to rush in, but they either died or were injured. Even that person over there … did not succeed." Ning Zizai pointed in a direction as he spoke.
Song Zhui turned his head and saw a man sitting cross-legged on the ground. This man's physique was extremely strong. Even if he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he was only shorter than the nearby cultivators by a head. One could imagine how tall he would be if he stood up.
With such a physique and physique, there was no doubt that he was a Physique Cultivator, and he was definitely an extremely powerful one. However, this Physique Cultivator was covered in blood and his face was slightly pale. It seemed that his injuries were not light.
"Wei Zhong!" Song Zhui's eyes narrowed slightly.
Even if he was a cultivator from the First Grade Sect, Abyss Rainbow Hall, he did not dare to underestimate this guy named Wei Zhong. Song Zhui had some understanding of this person's strength. In a one-on-one fight, he was not confident that he could defeat him. Moreover, he was a Physique Cultivator, so his physique was incomparably strong. If he was still in such a state after forcing his way into the mine tunnel, the others would definitely end up worse.
"That narrow space undoubtedly increased the power of the Explosion Array. Otherwise, it would not have injured a Ninth Order Physique Cultivator like this."
Many people had tried to enter the mine tunnel before, but there were casualties every time. After this Physique Cultivator named Wei Zhong was forced to retreat, no one dared to try again.
So now, all the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators were waiting here.
"We can't continue like this." Song Zhui frowned, "Isn't Yanshi here? We can let Yanshi use her creations to explore the path, trigger the Array, and clear the obstacles. "
"We've tried, but it's useless." Ning Zi Zai shook his head, "Lu Yiye's Array is controlled, not triggered."
If that was the case, then Yanshi's creations would not be of much use and might even mislead the cultivators.
Imagine, the cultivators would think that the Creator's creations were safe enough, but when they stepped into the mine, the Explosion Array would suddenly trigger, causing another batch of deaths and injuries.
The current situation was really a bit awkward. Lu Yiye was seriously injured and was blocked by many Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators in the mine tunnel, but because of the various Arrays he had set up in advance, no one dared to enter at will. They could only be in a stalemate with him.
Although there was no need to worry about Lu Yiye escaping, delaying like this was not a solution. The longer they delayed, the more the other party's injuries would heal. At that time, it would not be so easy to kill him.
As if reading Song Zhui's thoughts, Ning Zi Zai said, "Brother Song, don't worry, someone is already on the way."
"Who?"
"I wonder if Brother Song has heard of the name Si Nan?"
Song Zhui raised his brow, "Si Nan of Cloud Gem Sect?"
Ning Zi Zai chuckled, "It seems that Brother Song has also heard of him."
Song Zhui nodded, "I've long heard that this generation of Cloud Gem Sect has a genius, but I've never had the chance to meet him. It turns out that he's also nearby. If he comes, he may be able to compete with Lu Yiye in the Array Dao."
Cloud Gem Sect was a fourth-grade sect. However, although there was only a one-grade difference between fourth-grade and third-grade, the difference was like heaven and earth. Third-grade sects had great cultivators in the Divine Sea Realm, but fourth-grade sects did not.
The structure of the cultivation world of the Nine Regions and the way of recruiting disciples often led to a phenomenon, that was, the stronger the cultivator, the higher the aptitude of the disciples recruited by the more powerful sects. Therefore, for any sect, it was not a simple matter to raise the level of the sect.
