The path they walked on was extremely simple, with many marks of knives and axes, as if it had been hastily dug out later. However, what's strange is that on the stone walls around, there were blocks of reliefs, the carving techniques were very simple, but what was carved on them were all stone statues of monsters and demons, which were carved vividly.
As Mo Zi Chen let out a loud shout, Ji You Fei suddenly felt that the entire stone cave they were in seemed to have lost its balance, and his feet felt as if they had lost their foundation, like floating duckweed. His body was completely inverted, and Ji You Fei himself floated up into the air.
He stretched out his hand and firmly grasped Mo Zi Chen's wrist, shouting: "Hold on to me!"
Mo Zi Chen had the jade pendant, a magical artifact that protected him, but his other spells were all blocked - one aperture was not open. When he saw Ji You Fei's large hand reaching out, he grabbed it without hesitation. Ji You Fei released the North Dipper Sword, and seven sword lights coiled up like a long dragon, supporting him underfoot, barely stabilizing his body.
Although he was still far from reaching the state of unity between man and sword, flying freely in the air, it wasn't particularly difficult for him to stabilize his body within this narrow space with the power of the sword's light.
At this time, the ground under their feet had been constantly transmitting cracking sounds, and large stones collapsed. Mo Zi Chen shouted: "Look over there!"
She pointed, and the monsters and demons carved on the stone wall seemed to come alive, baring their teeth and claws, making fierce faces, and pouncing on them from all sides.
Mo Zi Chen had never seen such a terrifying scene before, but she was also very brave, and merely pursed her lips without screaming. Instead, she tried to use the Jiuhua Xian Sect's Xinshen Heart Method, attempting to calm her mind, embracing the void, and guarding the one in front of her chest. A soft glow emanated from the jade pendant on her chest, gradually calming her emotions.
Ji Youfei let out a loud shout, and the Northern Dipper sword light split into several paths, setting up a sword net around him that trapped the hundreds of shadowy enemies falling from the stone wall.
Mo Zi Chen said: "Have we triggered another restriction? Is our protective talisman no longer effective?"
Ji Youfei's face turned grave as he shook his head: "No, this means someone has discovered our trail and is going to take action against us!"
At this time, in the corridor ahead of them, a loud rumbling sound came, as if a powerful force had suddenly appeared out of thin air, causing the corridors ahead to collapse one by one. Large boulders rolled down non-stop, completely blocking the way forward.
"It seems like someone doesn't want us to discover the secrets hidden beneath the mountain."
Mo Zi Chen angrily said: "These people are so vicious!"
"In the stone chamber within the mountain, the middle-aged man with a worried expression said: 'Elder brother, this way, the road we excavated will also be blocked, and even we ourselves will be trapped in the belly of the mountain.'"
The white-browed old man said in a low voice, "What's the big deal? We're going to do great things, and we don't have time to entangle with these few little guys. Moreover, I don't want to kill them now. That little girl I don't know, but the leader is actually the younger brother of Yuan Ying Zong's Yuanying ancestor, and the Beidou sword was his demon-subduing treasure when he broke through the calamity and became a Daoist that year. Such a high-ranking person usually doesn't care about ordinary disputes in the cultivation world, but if you touch his reverse scales, it won't be easy to end well. Leaving them alive will still have some incense sentiment."
The stout old man said: "It's not a solution to trap them there either, first activate the Fantastical Wave Cloud Light Formation and send them out of this mountain range before we talk!"
The middle-aged man bowed and said: "Yes, sir!"
He stood up, and in his hand he had already taken out five red command flags. On them were printed countless flowing cloud patterns, layered and stacked symbols, like clouds piled up on a brocade screen, making it hard for people to look away. He spread open his palm, holding it upright in his hand, the five command flags seemed to have come to life as they stood up straight, rotating automatically at the center of his palm. He shouted: "Go!"
The banner turned into a million rays of light and rushed towards the gap in the mountain wall, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Ji Youfei and others had gone through countless changes under the mountain, but at this time, the sunlight outside had already brightened, and the Taoist priest also walked out of the ancient temple. He put away the Xuanji Dan, looked at the entrance of the ancient tomb with a pensive expression, "It turned out that I accidentally discovered an ancient well in this ancient temple, feeling that there was another mystery, so I found an opportunity to find the location of the ancient tomb gate. In another ten days, my Xuanji Dan will be able to refine and become great. At that time, I will think about opening the ancient tomb again. Who would have thought that a few children would take the lead? Could it be that I was wrong, and this is not an ancient seal that no one can enter?"
He let out a soft sigh: "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that the elders of Jingtan Sect were not around and slowly plot against them. Now it seems that the situation has changed." He suddenly turned around, his large sleeve fluttering, and in the center of the rear hall, an ancient well appeared. The mouth of the well was deep and mysterious, with no one knowing how many thousands of feet deep it was. There were also faint clouds and mist surrounding the mouth of the well.
He muttered the incantation in a low voice, and the Xuanji Dan reappeared above his head, surrounded by a faint bloody glow. He stepped into the well mouth and disappeared. A misty purple gas rose up, following his disappearance, and the well mouth was once again hidden from view, including the original ancient tomb inside. The place had returned to being an old dilapidated temple.
Ji Youfei stabilized his body in mid-air while wielding the sword light to resist the heavy pressure around him, struggling left and right, unbearable.
But he couldn't afford to relax at all now, under his feet, countless stone layers had already shattered, and the rolling spiritual energy could be vaguely seen flowing from under his feet. With their cultivation, once they were swept into the spiritual vein, it was impossible to protect their bodies, and they would inevitably be killed by the spiritual energy filling up and breaking their meridians.
But he still firmly protected Mo Zichen behind him, and Mo Zichen shouted: "Ji brother, let's split up and escape separately! I have a magic treasure to protect myself, the ban here may not be able to hurt me!"
She said this while secretly doubting in her heart, who knows if this unknown treasure really has such a great spiritual effect.
Ji Youfei refused her without hesitation: "As colleagues, we should entrust our lives to each other. How can I let you escape alone? Ah, be careful!"
His words had barely fallen when the formation on the stone wall suddenly changed, and those demonic beasts disappeared. The sky was filled with colorful lights, five-colored clouds and mist, which came from all directions. In this cloud of light, there was a strong suction force, which was actually the orthodox skill of the Xuanmen sect.
The Beidou Sword was his master's treasured sword from years ago when he had not yet mastered the way of the sword, although it was not used as a life-or-death sword for cultivation, its power was still extremely great. However, Ji Youfei's cultivation was still shallow and could not fully bring out the effects of this treasure. At this time, his head spun and his feet flew up, and a massive cloud of energy surged forth from all directions. His Beidou Sword condensed, and his body suddenly lost its balance. A huge ball of light had already flown over and heavily crashed into his body. He let out a loud roar, and his body was sent flying through the air after being struck, also simultaneously releasing Mo Zichen's wrist.
