Chapter 137 How could this happen

In the corner of the outer garden of Qiongtai Fairy Garden, a ray of light flashed, and Lin Xiao fell to the ground from mid-air.

In the sight that gradually became clearer, large blocks of emerald green were connected together. The first thing that caught the eye was a stretch of mountain meadow. Moving forward, the trees became more dense and lush with the terrain, blocking the outside.

Scenery.

After checking his belongings for a while, Lin Xiao raised his head and glanced at the sun.

"The daylight is roughly consistent with the time of entering the formation. The formation here should only be used to isolate the inside and outside, but there is no illusion formation, so that's fine..."

With a secret thought in his mind, Lin Xiao squatted down, cleared a small space, took out a piece of spiritual stone and shook it into powder, carefully scattered it on the ground, and began to carve it.

In less than half a stick of incense, an extremely complex array gradually took shape.

Then he placed another spiritual stone at the eye of the formation. Lin Xiao twisted the magic formula in his hand and kept changing it. Finally, with two fingers, he shot the true energy into the formation.

I saw the entire formation suddenly light up, and a faint milky white smoke floated up from the formation's eye spirit stone. Without any movement, it turned in the air and pointed in one direction.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt happy, knowing that the mark of true energy left on Wang Chong's storage bag had been successfully captured.

But it seems that the distance is too far, and the spiritual energy is slightly weak and unstable.

In fact, this was one of his first plans. After all, it would be too difficult to fight alone against a five-person team, especially after knowing that this inner garden formation requires a "talisman of destiny"

After being able to enter, Lin Xiao became more determined to find a backer first, and then find a way to fish in troubled waters.

However, Lou Xuan interrupted him intentionally or unintentionally, which really frightened him. He thought that he would not be in charge of the law, and he would be responsible for protecting the safety of the competition team.

The result was good, there was no danger in the end, and no flaws were found.

As for this "Aura Sinan Formation", Lin Xiao got the inspiration from the "Xunyuan Jade Phase" given by Lou Xuan.

However, this object was probably made by an expert from Hanxi Mountain, and was specially issued for the use of Lutang. Lin Xiao studied for a long time, and although he successfully disassembled the engraved pattern with the finger bones of the sea of ​​consciousness, it was too complicated and far beyond the

If you cultivate yourself, you can only use both marking and tracking for your own use.

Let’s put the rest aside and talk about it later.

After roughly confirming the direction, Lin Xiao withdrew the power of his true energy, put away the spirit stones, flicked his sleeves, and swept away the traces of the magic circle.

Between the ups and downs, he flew into the forest and ran out.

Just because the earlier the team in Hanxi Mountain is discovered, the more likely they are to encounter the lone monks who were defeated by them. On the contrary, in these eight hours, the farther you go, the harder it is to get the "talisman of life"

The bigger it gets.

Along the edge of the forest and the stone cliffs, Lin Xiao tried his best to hide his figure and walked carefully. Except for re-using "Aura Sinan" several times to determine the direction, he almost never stopped.

After chasing in such a hurry for nearly an hour, when Lin Xiao judged the direction of the Hanxi Mountain team for the last time, he found that there was a substantial spiritual energy smoke, pointing in one direction and not moving.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that he was under a mountain ridge, with a lush green area above his head, blocking a lot of the skylight.

"Probably at the other end of the mountain ridge, three or four miles away?"

Lin Xiao made some calculations and looked at the wisp of smoke in front of him, becoming more and more confused.

"Why can't you move? Did you encounter an enemy?"

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly swept the circle and flew up, rushing towards the top of the mountain ridge.

Soon, the ground beneath his feet changed, and before Lin Xiao could see clearly the scenery outside the forest, there was a faint sound of weapons clashing, which reached his ears faintly.

Seeing this, how could he wait? Lin Xiao immediately bowed his body, followed the ridge on the other side, ducked into the shadows of the trees in the forest, and slid down quickly.

But at this moment, one or two loud roars suddenly sounded. Lin Xiao quickly grabbed a big tree, hid his body, and looked out slightly, only to see a few figures leaping in the light at the end of the forest.

He stood up, and while leaving the battle circle, he threw out several beams of true energy to block the pursuers. In an instant, the strong winds scattered in all directions, and the sound of explosions resounded through the entire mountain forest.

With this wave of offensive, those figures also managed to escape and disappeared from the end of sight.

Lin Xiao watched from afar, thought for a moment, and immediately stepped out, using the rumble of the sound that had not yet dissipated to cover up the sound of footsteps, and rushed to the edge of the forest, behind a big tree only a few dozen feet away from where the two sides met.<

/p>

Confining all his aura, Lin Xiao quietly looked out and saw that beyond the mountain forest was a long and narrow valley sandwiched between two mountain ridges. However, the originally verdant land had been beaten to pieces by both sides and was devastated.<

/p>

In the middle of the battlefield, there were three figures standing with their heads bowed, looking sadly at a female monk who was paralyzed on the ground. The one she held in her arms was a man covered in bright red.

Three to five feet away from these people, there were two bodies lying in a pool of blood!

Seeing such a scene, Lin Xiao's pupils shrank immediately, and he instantly recognized the five people in Hanxi Mountain's inner hall in front of him, but he couldn't recognize them at all. How could the scene be so dark? "How could it be like this?!"<

/p>

Coincidentally, at the same time that Lin Xiao secretly shouted something, the female monk on the ground also said the same four words.

"How could it be like this?..." Chen Jingzhi hugged Luan Zheng, whose face was covered with blood, and whispered softly at first, then raised her head sharply, her eyes were crying with blood, and shouted in a hissing voice: "How could it be like this--!"

Looking down at Chen Jingzhi with tears on her face and Luan Zheng in her arms, captain Pei Qingsong pursed his lips tightly and looked livid.

How could this be? He also wanted to know why the fight resulted in this result - blood and water, three lives.

Recalling that when they first entered the battle, the five of them groped along the mountain ridge, and not long after, they met the five-man team from Qianxuetang.

Originally, the two parties were separated by a valley and walked separately. They just tried it out a little and did not take action directly.

But as the terrain gradually opened up, the two parties did have the idea of ​​​​competing, and in the end they each held their weapons and fought at one point.

An unexpected scene appeared at the moment when Luan Zheng took a look and stabbed the opponent in the chest with his sword.

According to what the Chief of Ceremony said when entering the formation, the sword should directly send the opponent to the Immortal Garden and leave a "talisman of fate", but the result was that the sword penetrated the chest and killed the man on the spot.

Seeing the man vomiting blood and falling to the ground with his own eyes, not to mention Luan Zheng himself who was holding the sword, even the monks from both sides in the audience were stunned.

But just when Luan Zheng took a few steps back and kept repeating "I, I didn't want to kill him", the four people from Qianxue Hall across from him roared in anger, and before everyone in Hanxi Mountain could react, they killed Luan Zheng.

Under the knife.

From this moment on, the original martial arts competition instantly turned into a blood feud between two sects. The strength of the four people from Hanxi Mountain was already superior to those of their opponents. After a fight and leaving one of their opponents alive, the remaining three from Qianxue Hall

The talented people withdrew from the battlefield and fled.

It was only then that the few people who had calmed down again, faced with such a tragic situation, asked the question just now, "How could this be?"

This is exactly what Lin Xiao came to see.

In the dead silence, Wang Chong suddenly turned to look at Pei Qingsong and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the 'Fate Talisman' and it failed to be transmitted successfully. Otherwise, this result cannot be explained. But the question is, what should we do now?"

?"

Before Pei Qingsong could speak, Yi Shang, who was standing aside, shook his head.

"This sect competition can no longer continue. What if there is a problem with not just the two of them's 'fate talismans', but everyone else?"

As he spoke, he looked up at the other two people and said.

"If there are problems, then wouldn't this competition involve a river of blood and lives? In this case, who can get out alive?! Are you crazy!"

Pei Qingsong frowned tightly and suddenly asked: "What should we do? Find a place to wait? Wait until the competition is over, escape from the formation, and report to the mountain gate? But we are trapped in one place, but we can't stop others from coming to our door.

, let’s just say the three people from Qian Xuetang, will they just leave and not come to seek revenge?”

Yi Shang was anxious. "Then find a way to explain it. Just say that there is something wrong with the 'fate talisman'. It cannot block fatal attacks, teleport people out, and may even cause injury and death!"

Hearing this, Pei Qingsong slowly shook his head and his tone was a little lower.

"Explain, if you encounter a team from another sect, who will believe you if you say the 'Fate Talisman' is malfunctioning? Who will listen if you say stop and stop fighting? Who knows whether you are conspiring to deceive and preserve your strength, or whether you are actually telling the truth?"<

/p>

"This, this..." Yi Shang said twice before sweating on his forehead. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't refute it at all.

Just listen to Pei Qingsong continue. "And among the eight competing teams in the sect, which one is not under the command of the mountain sect to snatch the Yunling White Buds? Who will stop and listen to the first half of what you say? When someone is really killed, then

No one listens anymore."

At this time, Wang Chong also followed suit and said: "No one wants to risk their lives here, but the current situation is like a hunter holding a crossbow with an arrow on the string. When he sees the prey, he will hit it first. Anyway, there is a life talisman.

'In the end, who cares whether the other party lives or lives?"

When Wang Chong said this, he looked at Luan Zheng's body and Chen Jingzhi, who was motionless and silently crying, and added another sentence.

"And what's really scary is not this..."

After saying this, Pei Qingsong nodded silently, while Yi Shang reacted briefly and suddenly looked at Wang Chong, with no color on his face - Wang Chong did not express his intention clearly, for fear that there would be other teams at this time who would also find out.

Although I didn't understand the issue of "fate talisman", I didn't care about this section at all, and just killed it without any mistakes.

You must know that even if there is really a problem with the "fate talisman", it is the result of various leaders going to find out the root cause after the competition is over, and it will not fall on the actual contestants at all.

Even if you want to kill someone or destroy the world, you can just say "There is no way out, you can only defend yourself" to cover it up, but the "white buds containing spirit" that you have obtained will never be spit out again.

In other words, as long as this section is figured out, what is left is nothing more than who is strong and who is weak, who dies and who lives. What does it matter if the "fate talisman" fails?

If we go one step further, perhaps only by completely killing the opponent's team can we ensure that the "dead man" will not tell others who killed him.

Just when the three of them bowed their heads in silence, Chen Jingzhi, who was paralyzed on the ground, suddenly raised her hand, wiped away her tears, took out the "life talisman" from Luan Zheng's body, put it away close to her body, and then kissed him gently on the forehead.

One note, hoarse words.
