Chapter 82 Encirclement
Liao Huaixian took a deep breath and used his remaining strength to cast a protective spell. At this moment, he couldn't even perform the guard spell.
At this moment, several flames suddenly jumped out of the mud, and in a moment the fire spread rapidly. The ghosts that had pounced on the place were scattered.
After hearing Huang Shaotang's loud shout, Liao Huaixian felt his eyes shaking rapidly, a few flashes of fire flashed by, and then his shoulders tightened, and the whole person flew into the air.
It turned out that he was caught by Huang Shaotang and carried up. When he landed, he saw that the swamp had disappeared, leaving only a pool of burnt grass.
Liao Huaixian was shocked.
This is... a formation structure that was forcibly broken by Huang Shaotang using the Seven Solutions of the Yunji?
This is certainly not impossible. The Qimen numerology applies the principles of the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the Nine Palaces. The Huangmen's Yunji Qijie has changes in the five elements. If you are lucky, it is possible to accidentally break one of the structures.
It was because of this that they were able to get out of the quagmire they were in just now.
This could be said to be a classic example of using force to overcome cleverness, but this kind of luck can only happen once in a while. Huang Shaotang then performed the Seven Solutions of the Cloud Book again, but there was no change in the formation.
But Huang Shaotang was persistent. If he failed once, he would take another step and try again.
Liao Huaixian sighed inwardly, thinking that this forceful method might not work a second time and would only be a waste of energy.
But he thought again, if they used this stupid method, they might still have a glimmer of hope of accidentally getting lucky, but if they didn't use it, it would be tantamount to waiting for death.
Just as I was feeling a little dazed, I suddenly heard a few clanging sounds, which sounded extremely strange in the silent night.
"Ghost knife!" Liao Huaixian blurted out. He was experienced and had previously determined that the person coming was proficient in Yin-Yang ghost arts. So when he heard the sound, he identified it as a ghost knife and hurriedly gave a reminder.
In such a hurry, he couldn't tell where it came from, so he could only duck and avoid it. As he moved, he saw that Huang Shaotang didn't move. Then he heard a few hissing sounds, and a trail of mud splashed beside him.
Liao Huaixian suddenly realized that Huang Shaotang had already figured out the direction of those ghost sword attacks in just a moment and knew that they could not hurt him, so he did not move at all.
At this time, there were several more clanging sounds, and Huang Shaotang suddenly moved, rushing to the right front. Liao Huaixian hurriedly caught up with him, but as soon as he moved, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and quickly shrank his body, using all his strength to rush forward.
I felt a sharp pain on the back of my neck, and I turned around immediately with my feet. However, there was nothing behind me and I didn't see anything.
But the stinging pain on the back of his neck was real. If he had been a little bit late, his head might have moved away.
Looking back, he saw Huang Shaotang standing there, looking around, and he seemed to have lost the trace of the person who came. And since the ghost knife appeared, the ghosts that kept appearing suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In such a large-scale strange formation, it would not be surprising if anything strange happened.
Liao Huaixian took a deep breath and kept calculating in his mind. He saw ripples in the puddle on the left. He immediately walked over, took a step forward with his body slightly tilted, and looked carefully into the water.
To break this formation, not only extremely strong computing ability is required, but also very careful observation skills, in order to find the flaws of the formation from everything around.
Liao Huaixian took another step forward and leaned over to look into the water. At this moment, a reflection suddenly flashed in the water.
The young man in black clothes and black pants with a very pale face is Pei Xueyi!
Liao Huaixian had been prepared for this and immediately pulled his arm back, but he missed it and heard a puddle of water behind him with a splash.
A black shadow rose from the water and floated behind him like a ghost.
Liao Huaixian had just used up all his strength in this backhand attack and was already exhausted. It was too late for him to change position. His pupils suddenly contracted, his hair stood on end, and he leaped forward desperately.
But he knew very well that it was too late for him this time! The next moment, he might die.
But at this moment, he heard a sharp whistling sound passing by his ears and going straight into the ground beside him, and the slender tail trembled slightly.
The thing that was shot most of the way into the ground turned out to be a thin and soft reed leaf!
At this critical moment of life and death, Liao Huaixian reacted extremely quickly. Taking advantage of this moment, he moved and adjusted his body. Looking back, he saw Pei Xueyi's face was pale and he rolled backwards in an extremely strange posture.
Because the posture was too strange, at first glance it looked like a black spider with long arms and legs.
Before Liao Huaixian could rejoice, he heard a rustling sound. It seemed that something was passing through the reed marsh at a very fast speed not far away.
He didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly retreated, wanting to meet up with Huang Shaotang first. At this moment, he heard someone shout, "Damn, that's where that Wu guy went!"
The voice sounded quite young, but the person seemed to be extremely angry, making the tone sound shrill.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people were seen rushing out through the reeds.
"Who are the two people in front? Tell me your identities!" the voice called again. This time Liao Huaixian looked carefully and found that it came from a young man with a large piece of mud on his body.
Liao Huaixian took a quick look and saw that there were seven people in this group, five men and two women. From their appearance, it was obvious that they had been fighting in this wetland for a long time. No matter who they were, they were undoubtedly mages.
He immediately responded loudly: "We are from the ninth department. Where are you friends from?"
Then the young man shouted, "Tianshi Mansion!"
When Liao Huaixian heard this, he was shocked, and then filled with ecstasy.
The group of people were extremely fast, and while the two sides were passing the message, they had already arrived.
Pei Xueyi stood by the puddle with a ghostly look, with his head slightly lowered, but as motionless as a stone statue. At this moment, his waist suddenly bent, and he was about to fall into the puddle beside him.
"Stop him!" Liao Huaixian shouted anxiously.
But before he could utter these words, he heard two whooshing sounds, and two thin shadows shot towards Pei Xueyi's face like lightning. But at this moment, Pei Xueyi's upper body suddenly leaned back, like a card that broke in the middle, and fell to the ground, avoiding the wave. The two thin shadows shot into the puddle with a pop.
Pei Xueyi took the opportunity to fall into the water and disappeared.
"Flying Flower Qi!" Liao Huaixian was extremely experienced. He had already sensed something was wrong when he saw the reed leaf shot into the ground. When he heard the people shouting out the name of Tianshi Mansion, he immediately realized that there might be a master who was proficient in Flying Flower Qi among this group of people.
Feihua Qi is an extremely advanced magic spell in the Tianshi Mansion. Those who can master Feihua Qi are definitely the masters and seniors in the Tianshi Mansion.
Liao Huaixian was overjoyed to see that Huang Shaotang was safe and sound, staring at a puddle in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief and went to greet the people from the Tianshi Mansion.
"Thank you for the help from my friends at Tianshi Mansion." Liao Huaixian stepped forward to express his gratitude. He had just finished speaking when he saw one of them had mud spots on his face and his clothes were wet. He looked quite embarrassed, but this face was very familiar. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Mr. Lantian, you are here too?"
The Ninth Section had been established for more than half a year. As a backbone of the section, Liao Huaixian could not have been unaware of Lantian, a senior wizard who had been stationed in Jiangning City for many years.
"Mr. Liao, it turns out to be you." Lantian was also a little surprised, but he was calm and meticulous, and he figured out the reason in a moment.
Although he didn't have much contact with the Ninth Section, he vaguely knew that they were investigating the Pei family, and it was obvious that they were here just for this matter.
"By the way, this is Master Bai Zhijing from Tianshi Mansion. These others are the elites of the younger generation ." Lantian hurriedly introduced the people from Tianshi Mansion.
Although Liao Huaixian had never seen Bai Zhijing, he had heard of this man's name, a famous magic master in Tianshi Mansion. When he heard that it was him who came, he was really pleasantly surprised.
"What are you doing here?" Liao Huaixian was about to say a few polite words when Huang Shaotang turned around and asked coldly.
Liao Huaixian was almost accustomed to his way of speaking, but others were not used to it, especially disciples from top sects like Wang Quan and Wu Mian, who immediately found his words very harsh.
"Who are you? Do we need you to interfere in the affairs of our Tianshi Mansion?" Wang Quan immediately scolded.
"The Ninth Department has the right to inquire about anything!" Huang Shaotang said expressionlessly.
Among the sects, the Tianshi Mansion was one of the top ones. The disciples were used to looking down on others and had never been ridiculed like this. Wang Quan was so angry that his face turned red, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "What the hell are you, the Ninth Department!"
"Wang Quan, stop talking nonsense!" Lantian heard what he said and quickly stopped him.
Although the Ninth Section was just a makeshift team and was not a sect with profound heritage, it was jointly established by several top sects. What Wang Quan said was really brainless.
But Wang Quan didn't think so. Hearing Lan Tian scolding him in front of so many people, he gritted his teeth in anger. Just as he was about to explode, he heard his master Bai Zhijing say calmly, "Let's talk about business."
Wang Quan shuddered all over when he heard this. He knew his master's character. Just because his tone was calm didn't mean he wasn't angry. Sometimes the calmer the tone, the more angry he was likely to be.
"Yes, let's get down to business." Liao Huaixian knew that his boss had a tough temper, so he quickly helped to smooth things over.
He is on the side of the Ninth Section, and Lantian is on the side of the Tianshi Mansion. Both of them are good-tempered people, and the communication is very smooth. They quickly confirmed the information known to each other.
