Volume 3 Nine Pattern Golden Pill Chapter 19: Illusion
Strong. Very strong.
Even from Lu Qingshan's perspective, Tan Tai Qingrun is definitely a strong fighter among the Jindan cultivators.
"Master Tan Tai has great means!" Even Xian Huaibi, who had some rift with Tan Tai Qingrun, couldn't help but praise him.
Seeing that Tan Tai Qingrun was young, he originally thought that Tan Tai Qingrun was just gifted in cultivation, the kind of talented cultivator with high cultivation but average combat power. However, he did not expect that Tan Tai Qingrun's swordsmanship would be so exquisite.
The Qiuhong Sword wandered back to Tan Tai Qingrun, making a buzzing sound.
But the next moment, a mysterious atmosphere began to brew in the empty passage.
Xian Huaibi's expression changed slightly, and he asked Tan Tai Qingrun, "What should we do next? Should we continue all the way?"
Tantai Qingrun turned his gaze to Lu Qingshan and asked for his opinion: "What do you think?"
Lu Qingshan looked solemn. He released his spiritual sense to feel the gloomy atmosphere deep in the passage. An inexplicable shadow rose in his heart and could not be shaken off.
It seems like something is wrong?
"No matter how many minions there are, there is always a limit to their number. If a few more waves come, the minions in this passage will probably be wiped out." Xian Huaibi suggested to Tan Tai Qingrun: "These minions are not very strong. It is no problem for me to block all the attacks. You can be responsible for clearing the area. We can easily advance."
All of a sudden, everything was empty...wait!
In a flash, a thought flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind.
He was awakened by Xian Huaibi's words.
Yes, no matter how many minions there are, there will always be a limit on their number.
If the monks from the underworld had taken this passage before, then why are there still so many ghosts here?
Unless, the path taken by the monks from the underworld is not here.
But there is absolutely no doubt that the cultivators of the underworld are targeting the physical body of King Gengjin Tiger, and the physical body of King Gengjin Tiger must be in the West Palace. There is no reason for the cultivators of the underworld not to take this route.
There seems to be a contradiction between the two...
After a moment, Lu Qingshan thought of something, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then immediately became gloomy again.
That leaves only one possibility.
Everyone took the wrong path; the passage they entered was not the one leading to the West Palace.
"Return to the hall." Lu Qingshan said decisively.
"Ah?" Not to mention Xian Huaibi, even Tan Tai Qingrun was confused about Lu Qingshan's decision at this moment.
"We've been tricked." Lu Qingshan explained, and quickly retreated back the way he came. "Hurry up, we've wasted too much time here."
Qin Yitian, who had been following Lu Qingshan in silence and had a very low sense of presence, was the first to follow Lu Qingshan.
Tan Tai Qingrun, who had not yet reacted, saw this and did not think any more and followed.
Tan Tai Qingrun herself didn't realize that, since when, under various subtle influences, she had developed a subconscious trust and obedience towards Lu Qingshan.
"Damn it, he was the one who chose to take this road, and now he is the one who asks us to go back!" Xian Huaibi complained extremely dissatisfiedly, but he had no choice but to quickly follow.
Compared with their cautiousness when they went in, the four people seemed a lot more unbridled and moved much faster on the way back.
In just half an hour, they returned to the hall they had just entered.
Four four-spirit pillars stand in it.
There doesn't seem to be anything unusual.
But this time, Lu Qingshan, who had been on guard, released his spiritual sense and carefully patrolled the environment inside the hall.
Finally, he felt an extremely faint but unusual ripple, hidden in the evil spirit and difficult to detect.
"Found it." Lu Qingshan said softly.
Releasing his divine consciousness and following the ripples, Lu Qingshan raised his sword and slashed at the void, and flames burst out from the sword.
In the empty hall, ripples like water waves appeared under Lu Qingshan's sword.
Fierce sparks flew everywhere, and with a loud bang, a dark array plate suddenly shattered in the corner. At the same time, a curtain of water fell all around.
The sky was spinning, the north and the south were shifting, and the east and the west were changing places.
It is true.
Lu Qingshan muttered as he looked at the hall that had undergone a drastic change after the water curtain disappeared.
"What's going on?" Xian Huaibi was shocked to find that the direction of the hall had changed so drastically.
"It's an illusion array left by the underworld. It reverses the direction. We apparently entered the western passage, but we are actually in the eastern passage." Tan Tai Qing Run understood the situation at the moment. "So if we had continued walking just now, we would have gone in the opposite direction and would have been further and further away from our destination."
Lu Qingshan nodded and muttered to himself: "I underestimated the underworld."
When people first enter this unfamiliar place, the Demon Spirit Tomb, most of them will focus on the familiar Demon Spirit Tomb.
The monks from the underworld seized on this point and set up an illusion array without any murderous intent in the hall. The effect was very simple, it was just a reversal of direction, but it achieved miraculous results.
This is because if the illusion array is spread over a wide area and its effects are more complex, it would be very easy to be discovered.
However, the effective range of the illusion array set up by the underworld only covers this hall. As long as the cultivator enters the passage, he will be out of the influence of the illusion array.
Plus, the effect of the illusion array is very small, it's just a simple change of direction.
But it was precisely because of this that it was difficult for them to realize that they were affected by the illusion.
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and try our best to catch up with the monks from the underworld."
The four figures flashed and once again stepped into the passage leading to the West Palace.
This time, in this long and dark passage, they did not encounter any ghosts.
Obviously, someone had walked this path before and wiped out all the evil spirits.
Without the minions blocking their way, Lu Qingshan and his group moved much faster, but they did not dare to go at full speed.
Every failure makes you wiser. Who knows what sinister traps the monks from the underworld will set along the way.
…
In an endless complex of underground palaces.
Li Zun, with his aura surging, jumped out from a dark passage.
At the entrance of the passage, three purple-robed monks from the underworld had already received the message and were waiting there.
Seeing Li Zun appear, the three monks from the underworld hurriedly came forward to greet him.
They just felt that Li Zun's aura was fluctuating, sometimes golden elixir and sometimes foundation building. The three of them looked a little panicked and asked in surprise: "Master Li Zun, what's going on?"
Li Zun didn't look well.
Once his Nascent Soul shattered, only a ball of rich original spiritual energy remained in his Dantian. Because there was no time to condense it into a golden elixir, this strange situation of sometimes forming a golden elixir and sometimes .
"My cooperation with the Demon Spirit Palace was exposed, and that old man from Bei Ming came looking for me. I had no choice but to break my baby and enter here to escape being hunted down." Li Zun's face was as gloomy as water. "How is the ban-breaking going? The entrance to the Demon Spirit Tomb has been opened, and we don't have much time to waste."
The purple-robed monk replied in panic, "It will take some time, about three or four days..."
According to the original plan, Li Zun could at least delay the appearance of the demon spirit tomb for another half a month. With their progress, it would definitely be in time, but they didn't expect things to change so suddenly.
"Lead the way!" Li Zun said gloomily.
Breaking the infant is equivalent to destroying one's own foundation. Once the infant is broken, it is harder than ascending to heaven to restore it. Therefore, he has reached the end of the path of cultivation.
However, he still has a way to go.
——Using the blood pool to reincarnate, he reincarnates himself into a demon and embarks on the path of demon cultivation.
The problem is that if the underworld wants to reincarnate a demon with high-quality blood, the price it has to pay is extremely high, and it is impossible for it to be performed for him easily.
Only by bringing back the physical body of Gengjin Tiger King, and relying on this great achievement, can he ask the underworld to reward him with high-quality demon blood.
The physical body of Gengjin Tiger King is his last hope and must not be lost!
