In the depths of the Fantasy Forest, Niu Youdao's group stopped again. They let go of the Butterfly Rakshasa's calf and landed on the ground.
Guan Fangyi took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands. The Butterfly Rakshasa's body was indeed unsightly. She felt disgusted when she touched her skin.
But there was no other way. Flying through the forest with their cultivation would consume too much transcendence energy. If they ran out of transcendence energy, it would be troublesome. They could only rely on the Butterfly Rakshasa's ability to fly.
And this was because they had Yuan Gang. Otherwise, the Butterfly Rakshasa wouldn't have been willing to work so hard. But it was fine. The Butterfly Rakshasa could be replaced with a new batch.
Rather than saying that everyone stopped, it was actually Yun Ji who stopped again. They had no choice but to stop with her.
Niu Youdao and the others looked up. Yun Ji flew to the top of the tree to carefully assess the terrain.
After a while, Yun Ji floated down from above. She pointed in a direction and said, "Let's go that way."
Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop her. "I say, Senior, can you confirm a direction? This forest is so big. If we keep searching aimlessly, how long will it take? We'll be happy to keep you company. Don't tire the Butterfly Rakshasa out, okay? "
Yun Ji: "I also have to find the place where I separated from Zhu Chicheng. Otherwise, as you said, searching aimlessly in such a big area is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. Only by finding the place where we separated can we find the ruins where Zhu Chicheng and the Butterfly Rakshasa fought. "
Niu Youdao: "It's been more than a hundred years. Are you sure you can still remember the terrain of the place where we separated?"
Yun Ji: "There's a mountain somewhere else. I have a deep impression of it. I won't forget it. That mountain isn't high. One side of the mountain is high while the other side is low. Everyone, help me look along the way. If you see anything similar, please remind me. "
"The mountain isn't high?" Niu Youdao asked. Then, he raised his hand and slapped his forehead. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Yun Ji looked at him in confusion.
Yuan Gang understood why Niu Youdao was smiling bitterly. In the past, Daoye was an expert in looking at mountains and water, so he naturally knew the problem in Yun Ji's words. He helped to remind her, "If the mountain isn't high, it's useless to say that one side is high while the other is low. As the saying goes, when viewed horizontally, one side looks like a ridge, while the other side looks like a peak. From a different angle, you will see the shape of the mountain differently. It's possible that even if we walk past the side of the mountain, it would be hard to notice. Do you know the direction of that mountain? "
If he didn't say it, they wouldn't have thought about it. Hearing his words, Guan Fangyi and Yuan Fang nodded thoughtfully, expressing their agreement.
"This …" Yun Ji hesitated and said, "Back then, we were in a hurry to escape and didn't pay attention to the direction. But I'm sure that based on the familiar terrain we saw on the road ahead, we should have reached the approximate area. We shouldn't be far from here. "
Niu Youdao asked curiously, "We should be very far away from the entrance to the Illusory Dimension. Back then, Zhu Chicheng only brought you with him. How did the two of you manage to penetrate so deep under the attacks of so many Butterfly Rakshasa?"
"Myriad Beasts Spirit Pearl!" Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Yun Ji explained again, "The Myriad Beasts Spirit Pearl has some influence on the Butterfly Rakshasa, especially the low-tiered ones. They relied on the Myriad Beasts Spirit Pearl to be able to penetrate so deep. Afterward, for some unknown reason, there were more and more high-tiered Butterfly Rakshasa. That's why we encountered danger."
So that's how it is! The few of them were thoughtful, but they couldn't confirm whether what this woman said was true or not.
Niu Youdao stood there with his sword and sighed. "We've already spent so much time with you. If we turn back now, it'll be a waste of everyone's energy. Let's continue to search. But Senior, don't say that I didn't remind you. It's been almost a day since we entered the Illusory Dimension. If we go back in a straight line, we'll need at least one day, right? In other words, we can only accompany you for one more day. Once the time is up, we'll return immediately. At that time, don't say that we didn't help you. We can't stay here with you for ten years. "
Yun Ji looked over. "Of course! If we can't find it this time, we'll come again the next time the Illusory Dimension opens. " She glanced at Yuan Gang and seemed to be implying that she still had to borrow Yuan Gang's ability to accompany her in her search.
Niu Youdao didn't express his opinion on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart. It was hard to tell what would happen ten years later. The world was unpredictable. You might not have the final say.
Yuan Gang glanced over. Niu Youdao shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to fall out with this woman. He waved his hand and said, "Then let's hurry up and continue searching."
The group continued on their way again. They hung around the Butterfly Rakshasa and continued their search.
Yuan Fang felt bored. What were they looking for in the sea?
Guan Fangyi cursed in her heart. She had already hinted to Niu Youdao to use the Heaven Sword Talisman to launch a sneak attack. He might be able to kill Yun Ji in one strike.
However, Niu Youdao didn't agree. First of all, Yun Ji was obviously on her guard. If he accidentally let this woman escape, that would be secondary. More importantly, no matter how sincere he was in becoming sworn siblings with Yun Huan, he couldn't kill Yun Huan's mother unless he had no other choice. He still abided by some moral principles.
Putting aside his own intentions, it wasn't a good thing to lose his moral principles from the perspective of pros and cons. The people around him were also people. Whether they were trusted subordinates or not, the human heart was made of flesh. Once something was done, the people around him would see it and remember it in their hearts.
If you could easily lose your moral principles, sooner or later, the people around you would also easily lose their moral principles to you. People who lived on the edge of a knife were the most likely to encounter karma …
"I found it. It's that mountain!"
About two hours later, just as Yun Ji had determined, they were not far from the approximate location. Yun Ji, who was hanging above the forest, pointed at a mountain on the left and cried out in surprise. She was so surprised that she lost her composure.
The group looked over. Indeed, there was a mountain that was high on one side and low on the other.
The butterfly rakshasas that were hanging above them immediately changed their direction.
Yun Ji led the way and brought the group to the right side of the mountain. Only then did they land.
There was a stream and a waterfall on the cliff. The height of the waterfall wasn't even as high as the trees on the side. Yun Ji, who was standing beside the stream, looked at the waterfall and said excitedly, "That's right. It's here. It's here!"
The group looked around. There were many glowing butterflies flying around. They believed Yun Ji's words a little more.
It was just as Yun Ji had said. There seemed to be a lot of blood rakshasas here. The blood rakshasas that had come with them were chattering non-stop with the blood rakshasas that had surrounded them.
When the blood rakshasas that had surrounded them retreated, the group heaved a sigh of relief. If they had been surrounded by a group of blood rakshasas, none of them would have been able to leave alive.
Now that they had found the place, there was no need to say anything else. Yun Ji immediately searched for the traces left behind by Zhu Chicheng when they parted ways.
As expected, Yun Ji found the stone that had been split open by the moss-covered sword qi not far away.
However, they soon ran into trouble. More than a hundred years had passed, and the entire place was covered in moss and thick vines. It was very difficult to find traces from a hundred years ago. They had to first clear away a large number of obstacles. Even though they were cultivators, it was very strenuous for them to do so. The area was too large.
Under Niu Youdao's instructions, the group did their best to help. They first searched in the general direction that Zhu Chicheng had gone.
Who would have thought that after searching for a while, they would run into even bigger trouble?
A lake!
Everyone walked to the side of the lake again!
This was the third time they walked to the side of the lake!
The second time they walked back, they saw it. They thought that it was a similar lake. After paying attention for the second time, they realized that even the characteristics of the lake were exactly the same. Only then did they realize that something was wrong. They all stopped.
Yuan Fang said in surprise, "Could it be that we're lost?"
Slowly looking around, Niu Youdao said, "We're not lost. Someone set up a formation here. We're trapped by the formation."
What kind of person could set up a formation here? Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had the same guess in their minds.
"Could it be that Shang Song's temporary imperial residence is in this area?" Guan Fangyi, who was looking around, voiced out everyone's thoughts.
Yun Ji immediately flew up and down to look for clues about the formation so that she could solve it.
Niu Youdao was also silently looking around.
After a while, Yun Ji stopped and returned to the group. She said with grief and indignation, "How could this be?" Obviously, she couldn't find a way to solve the formation.
She had finally found this place, but who would have thought that she would be disturbed by the formation. The Illusion Realm could only be opened for a limited time!
Seeing Yun Ji like this, Yuan Fang said anxiously, "Daoye, can we still get out?"
Niu Youdao, who was looking around, was comparing the terrain with his fingers. He thought of the bronze mirror he had obtained in the ancient tomb, the Shang Mirror. It was rumored that the Shang Mirror was created by Shang Song. If the formation here was really related to Shang Song, there was no harm in giving it a try.
Hearing this, Niu Youdao came back to his senses. Slowly, he said, "Don't be nervous. We might as well look for the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Pearl first."
Guan Fangyi said grumpily, "If we're trapped here and can't go any further, how are we going to find it?" She seemed to be blaming Niu Youdao for not doing a good deed.
Niu Youdao said calmly, "Why don't you think about it from another angle? According to the signs that Zhu Chicheng has been fleeing, if this really is some kind of formation that's hard to break, then it's very likely that Zhu Chicheng will be trapped here. Even if Zhu Chicheng is an expert in breaking formations, he must have the time to examine the formation, unless he can see through it without looking carefully. Zhu Chicheng probably didn't have time to decipher the formation while being chased by a group of Xue Luosha. If he's really trapped here, then it's very likely that this place will be his burial ground. Let's search this place carefully. "
Hearing this, the stunned Yun Ji's eyes lit up and she was the first to search this place.
The others were also helping, but Niu Youdao was counting on his fingers again, muttering to himself as he continued to calculate something.
Not long after, Yuan Fang suddenly shouted, "There's a piece of clothing here. Mountain Chieftain Yun, come over and see if you recognize it."
Everyone looked over and saw Yuan Fang, who was searching the lakeside, pick out a tattered piece of clothing from the knee-deep vines. It was a slightly shiny piece of clothing.
Niu Youdao stood in place and looked back, while the others moved to surround it.
The reason why the tattered clothing was glowing was because there was something similar to silver threads inside, which was why it maintained its original shape.
Yun Shang snatched it and held it with both hands. Her voice trembled as she said, "Ten Thousand Beasts Silver Thread Clothing. It has some defense against swords and sabers. It's a standard that only the Myriad Beasts Sect Master is qualified to wear. It should be his robe."
Yuan Gang, Yuan Fang, and Guan Fangyi looked at each other and immediately continued searching.
