The stone forest that Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng went to was called the 'Thousand Needles Forest'. It was said that the sky here had been shrouded in layers of fog for thousands of years. It was impossible to see the situation inside the stone forest from the sky. It was surrounded by continuous valleys, and there was only a small path that led to the stone forest.
There were very few records of the stone forest among the people. Most of the people who entered never came out. There was also very little information about it among cultivators. At the very least, Yi Tian recalled that he had never heard of the 'Thousand Needles Forest' before. Flying outside the stone forest, Yi Tian took out his map and looked at it. There was no clear area marked on it, and it was only roughly circled in a valley.
He then took out the map of the Wise King Road. It was clearly marked as the 'Thousand Needles Forest', and there was also a door marked on the map. It was obvious that the people of the Wise King Road were looking for ruins in the Thousand Needles Forest. This time, Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng were clearly being used as tools.
However, Yi Tian didn't understand why they found two Chiyang School disciples. Didn't the people of the Wise King Road like to cause trouble in Xuan Ling Sect's territory? When did they start to target Chiyang School?
Looking at the sky, it was almost evening. The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the west. After leaving Green Laurel Lane, Yi Tian didn't dare to travel at full speed under the sun. He didn't want to be discovered by He Shiwo.
He Shiwo was also in a hurry. After leaving Green Laurel Lane, he drove his flying sword with all his might. Yi Tian, who left fifteen minutes later than He Shiwo, could only watch from afar as He Shiwo disappeared into the sky.
When He Shiwo was completely gone, Yi Tian first found a place to take off his sect robes. Then, he took out an ordinary gray robe from his storage bracelet and changed into it. He also put away his flywheel and replaced it with a flying sword. Then, he flew into the air and headed towards the Thousand Needles Forest at full speed.
Now what worried Yi Tian the most was that Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng would not be deceived by others. That place was definitely not a relic. Why did the things He Shiwo bought in Green Laurel Lane seem to be used to make talismans or for other purposes? Yi Tian did not dare to think about it anymore.
Two hours later, Yi Tian saw a white fog shrouding a valley from afar. He looked at the map and confirmed that he had arrived at the Thousand Needles Forest. After circling around the edge of the white fog for a while, Yi Tian found a small path on the ground. Then, he quickly dropped his spirit sword and explored along the path.
Walking on the small path, Yi Tian was also very careful. He tried his best not to use the Wind Evasion Technique to avoid being detected by the people in front of him. After walking for a while, he entered the depths of the stone forest and found that there were three paths. However, the person in front of him didn't seem to have left any traces, so he couldn't find him. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw some traces left by spiritual power fluctuations in the air. Obviously, someone didn't want to touch the ground, so he used the Wind Evasion Technique to move in the air.
Moreover, the spiritual power fluctuations in the air had not dissipated, indicating that this person had not gone far and had left them at least a quarter of an hour ago. Yi Tian followed the spiritual power fluctuations and quietly followed, but the more he went down, the more frightened he was. The spiritual power fluctuations in the air were of wood attribute and metal attribute, which meant that there were at least two people following behind.
One He Shiwo was already a big headache, but there were still two people following behind. Looking at the spiritual power fluctuations left behind, their strength should not be much worse than He Shiwo. They were at least in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
As he walked, Yi Tian became more anxious. If three cultivators in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment went against Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng, they would definitely not be able to return. Qu Yifeng, that guy, was fierce with his words, but if he really attacked, he might not be able to withstand it.
After walking for a while, he suddenly heard a sound coming from not far away. Yi Tian carefully listened and found that it should be the sound of a spell bombardment. Yi Tian hastily put on his tiger mask. He had used it many times, and every time, it was able to protect Yi Tian, so Yi Tian treated it as his lucky charm.
After putting on the headgear, Yi Tian used the Wind Evasion Technique to fly forward. After slowly approaching, he looked around from afar. He only saw Shen Peiqi, Qu Yifeng, and He Shiwo standing in front of a cave and continuously bombarding the stone door in front of them with spells. However, the stone door resisted the spells of the three and remained motionless.
He Shiwo took out the talisman brushes, talisman papers, and porcupine pigs that he had bought from his storage bag. He directly killed the porcupine and used a small bottle to fill it with blood. He then picked up a talisman brush and dipped it in blood before drawing a few talismans on the spot. Then he distributed the talismans to the other two. The three of them each took two talismans and stuck them on the stone door.
Yi Tian, who was standing half a mile away, didn't dare to get too close. He could only use his Spirit Vision to look, but the angle wasn't right, so he couldn't see clearly. However, the pattern engraved on the door was a bit familiar. It looked like the pattern under the ice platform at the bottom of the Ice Soul Cave. The only difference was that there were three spirit pattern locks on it.
He saw the talismans in the hands of the three people stick to the nodes of the spirit pattern locks. Then, after He Shiwo chanted an incantation, three spells struck the talismans. The activated talismans burst into flames and produced a violent explosion.
After the ashes of the explosion scattered, the three people saw that the spirit pattern on the door wasn't damaged at all. Yi Tian, who was standing in the distance, felt his heart beat like a drum. This method of using talismans to break an array was only effective on talismans and arrays of the same level. The spirit array on the door in front of them was obviously a very high level spirit pattern. At a glance, there were three spirit pattern locks. How could a few mere talismans open it?
Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a few violent sounds of magic attacks. Yi Tian saw that the situation in front of the stone door had changed. Two Ming King Road cultivators, one thin and one fat, directly attacked Qu Yifeng and Shen Peiqi from mid-air.
The five people in front of the stone door were divided into three groups. Shen Peiqi's face was a bit red and she spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed that the sneak attack from the two people just now had injured her. Qu Yifeng, on the other hand, picked up his spirit sword and stood in front of him to protect himself. He stood there gasping for breath and there were traces of blood at the corner of his mouth. At the critical moment, Shen Peiqi still protected her junior brother and took the majority of the attack.
The two of them glared at He Shiwo angrily. Only the three of them knew about this exploration of the ruins. From the looks of it, it was obvious that He Shiwo had revealed their whereabouts to the other two.
But He Shiwo, who was standing alone at the side, was also puzzled. He asked, "Fan Jian, what is Zhong Yue's intention? Why did he tell me about the ruins and even specifically invite the Scarlet Sun Sect's true disciples to come along? Why are the two of you following behind and doing all these dirty things?"
The fat Wise King Road cultivator should be Fan Jian. He laughed and said loudly, "Brother He, there is no need to panic. The two of us just wanted to try our luck. Just now, we accidentally injured the two Chiyang School disciples. It was a misunderstanding."
He Shiwo was an old fox. There were a total of five people here. If the two Chiyang brats were to be dealt with, it would be very difficult for him to walk out of the Thousand Needles Forest alive. They were now in a three-way confrontation. Without Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng's deterrence, it was impossible. He Shiwo also looked around. The two of them cupped their fists and said, "Since we are all here for the same purpose, let's work together to break the array." After saying that, he raised his hand and signaled for the two Wise King Road cultivators to attack.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yue did not refuse. He took out a crystal bottle from his storage bag. It was filled with a red liquid. After walking forward, he directly looked at the three spiritual patterns on the stone door and poured the liquid in the bottle onto the lock on the left.
After ten breaths of time, the spiritual pattern on the left side of the stone door seemed to come alive. Suddenly, a burst of light illuminated one-third of the spiritual array on the stone door. The spiritual pattern lock on the left side slowly opened. After it was opened, the stone door suddenly trembled. Then, a vast aura came from behind the stone door.
After the aura calmed down, Zhong Yue could not help but say, "Brother He, why are you still not attacking? Have you forgotten how your son and nephew died at the hands of this brat in the Six Sects Trial?"
Hearing this, Qu Yifeng also frowned. He became even more anxious. He had only taken back the evidence of He Xinsheng's collusion during the Six Sects Trial. It was rare for him to boast about it in front of his friends. However, that person was indeed killed by Yi Tian. He only felt that it was fun and accidentally revealed it in front of the group of Spirit Children.
Shen Peiqi, on the other hand, acted as if she was facing a great enemy. She scolded, "He Shiwo, you colluded with outsiders and abandoned the friendship between the two sects. Are you not afraid of our Chiyang School's elders?"
Before He Shiwo could answer, Fan Jian opened his mouth again, "Brother He, your body is in Xuan Ling, but your heart is in Bai Gu. Am I right?" After he finished speaking, he looked at He Shiwo with a provocative gaze.
He Shiwo's face immediately darkened. This kind of thing was not explained clearly. Even if they acted dumb, it was fine. However, now that it was brought to the surface, it was impossible for him to ignore it. At least today, it would be a life and death situation. In his heart, he cursed the eighteen generations of ancestors of these two people. However, the older, the wiser. He Shiwo smiled and the green light in his hand flashed. He then slowly walked towards Shen Peiqi.
The two Bright King Path cultivators standing behind him also burst into laughter, casting spells in their hands. Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng had no choice but to work together to open a defensive barrier. They also cast a defensive fire shield, preparing to take the attack head-on. According to the current situation, even if the two of them were in perfect condition, they would not be a match for the three Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators. Furthermore, the two of them did not have time to defend against the sneak attacks just now. Now that their blood and Qi had finally calmed down, they would definitely be faced with a storm of attacks.
Unexpectedly, after He Shiwo walked a few steps, the corner of his mouth curled up. He turned around and attacked the two people behind him with the two swords in his hand. Then, without looking back, he flew up on his magic tool and prepared to leave this place first.
Zhong Yue only smiled and cast a spell to block He Shiwo's green swords. Then, Fan Jian flew up on his magic tool and chased after He Shiwo.
When He Shiwo turned around and saw that someone was chasing after him, he suddenly flew up and wanted to rush out. However, he did not expect that when he was three hundred feet above the ground, he would be blocked by an invisible barrier. Then, from the fog above him, a ray of fire suddenly shot out. The moment it hit, Yi Tian saw He Shiwo spit out a mouthful of blood and then fell from the sky.
It turned out that this Thousand Needles Forest had been set up with a Heaven Confusion Array. No wonder they could not see what was inside from the outside. It was all blocked by the layers of fog. And the people inside the array could not directly fly out. Once they reached the bottom of the fog, the array's defense would automatically activate. In the distance, Yi Tian secretly rejoiced that he was careful. Looking at the two Ming King Path cultivators, they were very familiar with all of this. Then, they would definitely know what was hidden behind the stone door.
