The core area of the land of landscapes and phantoms.
Bai Luming was huddled on the ground and shivering, his clothes all over his body were soaked through, and his mud-stained bun had long since spread out and stuck to his face, looking like a beggar lingering on his last breath.
It was obvious that Bai Luming had just experienced unbearable severe pain, so much so that the dignified third-level warrior had no dignity at all.
At this time, he was on the ground panting heavily, but his face was covered by his messy hair, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
"In just a moment, Shang Xia has disappeared! Bai Luming, I underestimated you!"
Chu Jia pursed his lips tightly. It was he who had just activated Bai Luming's "Three Intention Locks".
Beside her, Sun Haiwei, who came after hearing the news, also had a worried look on her face, and at the same time, her eyes looking at Bai Luming had faintly revealed murderous intent.
"I... what I said has nothing to do with... me. It was him walking randomly and leaving the core area!" Bai Luming gasped on the ground.
Sun Haiwei said solemnly: "So you know that he left the core area?"
"That's right!"
Bai Luming did not deny it, and he knew that it would be useless to deny it.
The Phantom Spirit Pearl can recall the images of his behavior in the past period. As long as Chu Jia takes back the Phantom Spirit Pearl after Shang Ke absorbs the Phantom Spirit Evil, he will be able to immediately discover what he has done.
Moreover, even without using the Phantom Spirit Bead, Chu Jia could still see where Bai Luming was at that time through the central array diagram.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that the moment Shang Xia disappeared, Chu Jia found Bai Luming immediately, and without saying a word, he activated the "Three Intent Lock" and tortured Bai Luming to death.
"Why don't you stop him?" Sun Haiwei said with a chill.
Bai Luming pushed away the messy hair in front of him and asked with a strange look on his face: "Why should I stop him? In fact, when he came out of the stone room where Shang Ke was retreating, Miss Chu had already warned him
Already."
Sun Haiwei still said reluctantly: "So you also intended to see him leave the core area? Although you did not directly harm him, you were still sitting back and watching him go into danger!"
"Danger... situation?"
Bai Luming reluctantly showed a sarcastic smile, but did not continue to respond to Sun Haiwei. Instead, his eyes fell on Chu Jia: "Who would have thought that the entire coral realm would be fully mobilized, and at that time, even with
The spaces of the four spiritual lands have begun to interact with each other? Miss Chu, can you think of it?"
Chu Jia remained silent.
Bai Luming turned back and continued to look at Sun Haiwei and said: "In fact, even Miss Chu's judgment that the four spiritual lands may undergo space transfer was based on my prior understanding of the Coral Forest Mysterious Realm. Miss Chu's array attainments
And his talent is far above that of Bai. How could Bai know something that even Miss Chu couldn't think of?"
Sun Haiwei was speechless and didn't know how to refute.
At this time, Chu Jia suddenly raised his chin and said with a hint of coquettishness: "Even if this matter really has nothing to do with you, it is not unfair to say that you have ulterior motives."
This time, Bai Luming remained silent. In fact, he never denied it from the beginning.
"Then do you know why I insisted on keeping your life?"
At this time, Chu Jia's face suddenly showed a smile that looked very clean.
When Bai Luming saw the smile on her face, his heart trembled for no reason. The impression this smile had on him was too profound.
Even Sun Haiwei next to her was slightly startled. She suddenly recalled the experience of sitting in the underground passage and watching Bai Luming break the formation, and couldn't help but move slightly to the side.
"Is it difficult...isn't it because Miss Chu needs help?" Bai Luming whispered.
Chu Jia covered his mouth and chuckled, and listened leisurely: "If you are obedient, then you will naturally be my assistant. In the future, after returning to Tongyou Peak and explaining to several senior teachers in the academy, with your formation
With your Taoist attainments and Tongyou College's school spirit of being 'eclectic and tolerant,' I would recommend you to be a teacher. If you leave the Moon Club and the Ouyang family, there will be a college to provide you with protection."
"Many...many thanks!" Bai Luming's expression changed a little.
Chu Jia was noncommittal and continued: "But if you have evil intentions..."
Speaking of this, Chu Jia's voice suddenly stopped, but his face was as bright as a smile, but he looked at Bai Luming as if he were looking at a beautiful toy: "With your experience in formations, you must have heard of it.
Is it from the 'Array Spirit'?"
Bai Luming's expression changed greatly: "This is a forbidden technique, and it is despised by all warriors of the formation lineage. How dare you do this? If the news spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar in the entire Cangyu world, and Kou Chongxue may not be able to protect you!"
"
"Forbidden art?"
Chu Jia chuckled like a silver bell again, as if he had heard some big joke: "Do you know what I am going to do? How come you are so scared when you hear the word 'Array Spirit'? Don't you think that
I want to make you into a 'formation spirit', right?"
Bai Luming's face became increasingly pale.
Chu Jia looked more and more amused: "What are you thinking about? Although I do know this forbidden technique, and I do want to study it, I can't touch such a harmful thing!"
Before Bai Luming could breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Jia's pure smile changed his tone suddenly, and said with a hint of longing: "But then again, the so-called 'forbidden technique' means that as long as others don't know about it, isn't it?
Is everything okay? Under the guardian formations of the big forces in the states of Cangyu Realm, how many formation masters are there without blood sacrifices? Even if they are discovered, don't they all claim that those who were killed had 'ulterior motives'
Is it against the mage?"
Chu Jia had just said the word "ulterior motives", but Bai Luming did not refute it at that time, but acquiesced with silence.
Bai Luming sighed and said helplessly: "You two, as long as you don't really let Bai sacrifice the formation and become a puppet-like 'array spirit', but if there is an explanation, Bai will obey. Besides, Mr. Shang is missing.
It was really an accident, and he might not have died..."
Chu Jia smiled and said: "So you are still alive now. If he dies, you will definitely die too! Senior Shang will advance to the fourth level soon. Once he comes out and finds that Shang Xia has been killed... you understand.
, I always have to give an explanation to his old man and the Shang family behind him. Rather than letting you die easily, it would be better to become a 'formation spirit' unable to live or die, and maybe the Shang family will feel relieved!"
Bai Luming, who had just recovered a little bit of vitality under the torture of the "Three Intent Lock", now collapsed on the ground again.
"So, I don't need to say more about what to do next, right? Junior Sister Sun..."
After Chu Jia said that, he turned around to ask Sun Haiwei to leave, but found that she had a distracted look on her face. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Junior sister Sun? What are you thinking about? Let's go!"
"Um?"
Sun Haiwei was startled at first, then forced an awkward smile and said repeatedly: "Oh, okay, okay..."
…………
"Hey, what kind of swordsmanship is this? It's so weird!"
A curious voice came from behind Shang Xia.
When Shang Xia suddenly turned around, he used the Jade River Sword to protect himself in front of him, and at the same time, he flew back to distance himself from the person behind him.
"Third level!"
Shang Xia felt a bit bitter in his mouth as he looked at the person who had just attacked him more than twenty feet away.
Opposite Shang Xia was a young warrior who was about twenty years old. He was well-dressed and looked like a handsome young man, which was somewhat similar to Shang Xia's original demeanor.
It's just that Shang Xia went in and out of the pool several times before, especially after there was no water-proof bead. Although he could use his body's energy to dry his soaked clothes every time, after several times, his originally decent clothes became stiff and stiff.
He looked even more embarrassed, how could he be compared to the person in front of him.
Moreover, the person in front of him, Feifan, has already reached the realm of martial arts, and there are two second-level warriors following him, one on the left and one on the right.
Seeing that Shang Xia reacted quickly and distanced himself from everyone the moment he was attacked, the two men behind the young warrior tried to outflank Shang Xia from the left and right, blocking Shang Xia's retreat.
Unexpectedly, the young warrior raised his hand to stop the two of them: "A second-level warrior cannot escape. It just so happens that I have just finished practicing the Zhu family swordsmanship, and I am in need of a good partner. This person
The swordsmanship is weird, and it happened to be delivered to my door."
After Shang Xia saw the opponent's strength, his first reaction was to turn around and run away.
Although the terrain here is flat, it looks like a wasteland.
But there were still rockeries that looked like corals standing on this wasteland. With these rockeries as cover, Shang Xia felt that he might still have hope of escaping.
It's just that the young warrior clearly saw Shang Xia's plan. The moment he stopped the two people behind him, a sword light like autumn water suddenly appeared, directly crossing the distance of twenty feet and heading straight towards Shang Xia's door.
Come.
"Why leave in a hurry? Your swordsmanship is amazing, why don't you compete with me?"
The two men's shoulders clashed dozens of times in an instant. Shang Xia retreated one after another, but the young warrior still had time to speak.
However, Shang Xia also noticed that the person in front of him seemed to have deliberately suppressed his cultivation to the level of a second-level warrior, maintaining a cultivation level roughly equivalent to his, and just waved the long sword in his hand towards him.
"You are a student of Tongyou Academy, right? With such a level of cultivation, you are undoubtedly a top-notch person, and you are not an unknown person after all. I am Dongfang Mingyu of the Dongfang Family, what do you call me?"
Shang Xia remained silent and just used his strongest swordsmanship, the "Strong and Soft Sword Technique", to resist the opponent's attack.
At this time, Shang Xia had already understood each other's swordsmanship during the short battle between the two sides.
This person's swordsmanship suddenly surpassed the mountains. Although it was not as fierce and forward-moving as Fang Gang's sword skills, it was more solid and steady, overwhelming others with force.
Sometimes this person's sword technique becomes as light as a feather. Although it is not as adaptable and changeable as the invisible sword technique, it always gives people a sense of danger, even more so than his previous heavy sword technique.
