Chapter 1320 The aftermath
"Three of you, my junior sister's cultivation is higher than mine. Since I am fine, she must be fine. Please help me find her!"
Zhao Qiankun bowed respectfully, but he looked extremely anxious.
This is no wonder. After all, she is my junior sister, and I must be worried about her safety.
The three of them hurriedly searched for Zhao Caiying in the crowd.
Lu Yun saw that there were less than 200 people left standing in the square that originally had 500 people, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
They were all promising young people with good character, but they lost their lives here today. It's really not worth it.
There were fewer people at this time, so it was much easier to find someone. Finally, in a corner of the square, Shunying was the first to spot Zhao Caiying.
"over there!"
The four of them hurriedly ran towards Zhao Caiying.
Zhao Caiying looked calm and took her opponent very seriously.
"Junior sister!" Zhao Qiankun ran to her side and shouted, "Junior sister, use the secret method taught by Master to make him unable to move!"
"Brother! Okay! I got it!"
After hearing what her senior brother said, Zhao Caiying stopped immediately. At the same time, she put her palms together.
Afterwards, several people saw a powerful aura suddenly emanating from her palm, but Zhao Caiying controlled this aura very well.
As the armored man attacked her, she slowly separated her palms, and a ball of white light appeared in the middle.
"go with!"
Zhao Caiying pushed the ball of white light forward suddenly, directly hitting the armored man.
"Oh!"
The armored man exploded.
"Junior sister! Your Taoism is becoming more and more proficient!" Zhao Qiankun said happily.
"Yeah." Zhao Caiying nodded vigorously.
Lu Yun brought everyone to the edge of the square to observe the situation.
He found that some people in the field were deliberately not winning and seemed to be observing the situation in the field.
There are others who are just hanging on, their lives almost coming to an end.
And that Chief Steward Qin kept staring at these people, as if he was thinking about something.
Then, Lu Yun took another look at Jian Yi who was regulating his breath not far away.
"Brother Black Tiger, did you notice anything wrong with this kid?"
"Humph! I don't care if he's right or not. Once we get down from the Holy Mountain, I'll kill him first to avenge my brothers!"
"No, Brother Black Tiger, that Jian Yi is fully capable of defeating the armored man in the first place, but why did he pretend to be defeated in the face of our ridicule?"
"Is he afraid that we can find out his background?"
"That's possible, but when he was in the jungle, he immediately used a method to escape and didn't get involved with us for too long." Lu Yun analyzed: "So I guess he was trying to confuse Qin Bao, or Fairy Feiyun."
"That makes sense." Hei Hu nodded and said, "But what is his purpose in doing this? Risking getting hurt in order to deceive the Holy Mountain? This doesn't make sense."
"Yeah, that doesn't make sense." Lu Yun frowned: "Just wait and see, his purpose will slowly be exposed."
While they were talking, many people were killed by the armored men at the scene.
Except for those who defeated their opponents and were resting on the sidelines, there were less than a hundred people left on the field.
Qin Bao walked slowly among the crowd and stood in front of the huge hourglass.
"The time has come!"
All the armored men stopped moving immediately.
The fairies around stopped fighting and lined up to fly back to the palace.
Only at this moment did everyone in the field heave a sigh of relief and sit down on the ground to rest.
After surviving the disaster, they were excited and shared their experiences of the battle with each other.
"Everyone! Please follow me!"
Qin Bao put his hands behind his back and walked straight towards the palace in the distance.
Everyone supported each other and followed Qin Bao.
As he got closer, Lu Yun finally saw the entire palace clearly.
Looking around, the palaces in front of you are connected together, and the black and white architectural style shows solemnity.
The two black doors that opened opposite each other were extremely heavy.
As the door gradually opened, the scene inside was even more amazing.
There is no pavilion or terrace as usual, instead there is a flat stone forest.
Moreover, there were runes carved on every stone. Lu Yun could not understand these runes, and Hei Hu kept shaking his head.
"This is... the Soul-Devouring Formation!" Zhao Qiankun suddenly exclaimed.
"What? Do you know him?" Lu Yun asked curiously.
"Yes, my brother and I have seen it in an ancient book at home." Zhao Caiying continued, "This formation may seem ordinary, but it is extremely powerful. If one does not understand it, he will become insane and eventually go crazy, and his cultivation will be wasted!"
"What a domineering magic formation! What on earth does this Holy Mountain want to do?" Black Tiger said angrily.
Qin Bao stopped in front of the stone forest and turned around to look at everyone.
"This formation is called the Soul Devouring Formation. As the name suggests, this formation will devour people's souls. The next test is to break through the formation."
There was an immediate debate at the scene.
"Of course, if you don't want to join the formation, please stand aside!" Qin Bao said, pointing to a stone road next to him.
The discussion at the scene became louder again.
"Brother Lu, shall we go in?" asked Hei Hu.
Lu Yun looked at the two Zhao family members and asked, "Is there a way to break this Soul Devouring Formation? Maybe the ancient books say that?"
The two looked at each other, then slowly shook their heads.
Lu Yun glanced at the stone forest and lowered his head to think for a moment.
"Go in! I must go in!" He raised his head suddenly: "This Soul Devouring Formation is like a double-edged sword. If you pass it, it will increase the power of your soul. If you can't pass it, the worst that can happen is that you will die."
"Okay! Since Brother Lu wants to enter the battle formation, I, Black Tiger, will not hesitate either. I will accompany you into the battle formation!"
"I swear to follow you till death!"
Lu Yun then said to the two Zhao family members, "You two don't need to come with us. After all, your master told you to come out and gain experience. There's no need..."
"No! It is precisely because our master asked us to come out for training that we must enter the battle!" Zhao Qiankun looked determined.
"Yes! We must join the battle!" Zhao Caiying echoed.
Seeing that the two were so determined, Lu Yun naturally had no reason to object.
As a cultivator, one has to go against the will of heaven.
If you don't fight against heaven, how can you cultivate the great way?
After standing in front of the stone forest and watching for a while, Lu Yun said to the four people: "All magic arrays in the world have the same end. This Soul Devouring Array is nothing more than disturbing people's minds. As cultivators of our generation, we should be firm in our Taoism. After entering the array, we should hold on to the original intention and not forget our original intention. It will not be difficult to pass the array!"
He summarized the key points of breaking through the formation according to his own understanding. As for whether it can be done, it still depends on personal ability.
Fortunately, everyone’s cultivation is strong, so it shouldn’t be a problem to pass the Soul Devouring Formation.
The discussion gradually died down.
Qin Bao said, "Everyone, those who enter the formation can go ahead now!"
Lu Yun and his companions were not in a hurry to enter the formation, but observed others.
Some people hesitated for a long time, and finally walked to the stone road marked by Qin Bao to wait. Seeing this, some people actually chose not to enter the stone forest.
"Humph."
Qin Bao snorted softly, but his eyes did not change at all. It was obvious that he looked down on these so-called geniuses.
Lu Yun roughly counted and found that there were only about seventy people left who chose to join the battle, which was really pitifully small.
"Enter the formation!"
Qin Bao just waved his hand and then moved aside to make way.
Lu Yun took the lead and rushed straight into the stone forest.
