The terrain of the Black Mountain Territory is complex and unpredictable. Not only is it impossible to escape, but there are also various dangerous places hidden in it. Even those who have reached the level of calamity cannot ignore these dangers.
At this moment, in a dense forest, three foreign monks were advancing rapidly.
Liang Yan and Wu Xin were also among them.
Surrounding them were the chiefs of the three major foreign races and dozens of elders from the Tribulation Realm. These people's positions were extremely sophisticated, forming a strange formation between them. No matter which direction Liang Yan accidentally broke through, he would be attacked by everyone.
of joint suppression.
Liang Yan was not surprised at all by this. He and Wu Xin hurried on in silence, only looking around from time to time, secretly observing all the details around them.
This is already the fifth day.
Liang Yan had no idea where these aliens would take him, but he found that the surrounding environment was getting more and more gloomy, and the atmosphere was getting weirder.
"Something is wrong here!"
Wuxin's voice suddenly sounded in the sea of consciousness.
The two communicated using the secret technique of sound transmission, but on the surface they were calm as usual, and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
"You also feel that the air restriction here is stronger than in other places." Liang Yan said secretly.
"More than that, there seems to be a unique evil atmosphere here that can subtly affect people's minds. Ordinary people can't detect it at all. It's only because I have survived the soul tribulation in 'soul, bone, blood, and spirit' that I am right
This smell is very sensitive."
"I originally thought that the place where they detained the prisoners should be in the territory of the three major alien races, but now it seems that is not the case. Such a sinister place, which monks avoid, how can it be used as a home base for cultivation?"
"There must be something fishy about this!" Wu Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp look.
"It doesn't matter, we still have a back-up plan, and we will take advantage of it when the time comes."
"Um"
The two of them said nothing more and followed the others into the depths of the dense forest.
The terrain gradually changed, and it seemed to have entered a deep valley. The surrounding trees were thousands of feet high, blocking the sky and not even a trace of sunlight.
But there are all kinds of weird vines in the dense forest, emitting colorful rays of light, illuminating the dark space like daylight.
After walking for more than a hundred miles, I suddenly saw a towering mountain wall with a gap in the middle, and the gap was covered with vines.
Liang Yan's consciousness was sharp, and after observing for a moment, he discovered that these vines actually had their own consciousness.
Just as everyone was approaching, some of the vines had awakened and locked onto the auras of several foreign monks, who looked very hungry.
Liang Yan had no doubt that as long as the alien army moved forward half a mile, they would be swallowed up by these vines!
However, the army stopped at this time.
The three clan leaders glanced at Liang Yan, and one of them, Wu Changqing, said solemnly: "The person you are looking for is inside. It's best not to play any tricks, otherwise this place will be your burial place!"
Liang Yan sneered and said nothing.
Now the two sides are wary of each other. He wants to free the captives, and the aliens also want the slate in his hand, so there is no need to give in.
"Three clan leaders, please open the restrictions." The voice of the cloaked man came from the front.
"snort!"
Wu Changqing glanced at Liang Yan, said no more, and led the other two clan leaders to the front.
The three of them all took out a treasure from their sleeves. Among them, Wu Changqing held a golden bell, the leader of the Fantasy tribe took out a green wooden staff, and the leader of the Giant Spirit tribe took out a giant axe.
The three of them cast spells at the same time, and three colors of gold, green, and yellow glow burst out from the treasure, lingering in the air in a circle, and finally injected into the vines in front of them.
As if being stimulated by something, these vines scattered and retreated like a swarm of snakes, and soon the entrance to the valley was revealed.
All he saw was a deep passage, with a strange evil aura permeating the air from the entrance. Even a person of Liang Yan's level felt a chill, and the blood in his veins began to boil unknowingly.
"Welcome to the 'Valley of No Life'."
The cloaked man suddenly turned around, with a hint of smile in his tone.
Liang Yan frowned after hearing this.
“It turns out this is the legendary ‘Wu Sheng Valley’”
As early as when he first entered the Black Mountain Territory, Mo mentioned the place "Wu Sheng Valley" to him, which was said to be one of the three most dangerous places in the entire Black Mountain Territory.
Liang Yan later deliberately collected information in this area and confirmed that this place was indeed a dangerous place, so he deliberately avoided it during the march.
He didn't expect the cloaked man to bring him here.
Liang Yan's face was a little gloomy, and he said slowly: "I don't believe you would keep prisoners in a place like this."
Before the cloaked man could speak, Wu Changqing on the side chuckled and said: "For you outsiders, Wusheng Valley is certainly a dangerous place, but our Wu clan has long had a way to solve it, otherwise you see so many armies of our three clans.
People, why aren’t there any differences at all?”
After his reminder, Liang Yan discovered that these foreign monks, regardless of their level of cultivation, behaved as normal in the face of this evil aura, without any abnormality.
This is indeed strange.
You must know that Liang Yan has already cultivated to the Tribulation Realm, but he is still affected by that evil spirit. However, those foreign monks who are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and Juyuan Stage are calm and composed. There must be a reason for this.
Before Liang Yan could speak, Wu Changqing continued: "The reason why Wusheng Valley is called one of the three most dangerous places is mainly because of the 'extinction evil spirit' contained in the valley. Those who are affected by this evil spirit and whose cultivation level is not enough to understand the mysteries will be seven steps away."
Die by imploding body; if the cultivation reaches Tongxuan, although they will not die immediately, they will fall into madness, gradually lose their reason, and finally become the nourishment of these vines. As for the monks who have reached the realm of transformation, although they can barely hold on
Even though your spiritual consciousness is still there, you will also be eroded by this evil spirit. It is just fine for a short period of time, but over time you will inevitably fall into madness."
"My witch clan has studied for many years and developed a good medicine to restrain the 'evil aura of annihilation'. Each of the compatriots from the three tribes took one pill, so they are not afraid of the 'evil aura of annihilation' at all. If you two don't want to go crazy, you'd better take one too."
"
After saying that, he took out two black pills from the storage ring and shook them in mid-air.
Liang Yan saw this and sneered: "No need! Liang has always been a cheap person, and he just wants to see the power of this 'extinction evil spirit'."
"Haha, if your husband is like this, then I have no choice but to go along with him." Wu Xin said with the same smile.
"snort!"
Wu Changqing took the elixir back into the storage ring and said coldly: "You two are seeking death. You will be infected by the 'extinction evil spirit' later and destroy the foundation of your practice. Don't blame me."
"Okay, it's useless to talk more. We are all here for the transaction. Everyone gets what they need. I just hope that Liang Shuai can keep his word and hand over the slate in his hand." The man in the cloak said in a deep voice.
"Of course!" Liang Yan smiled, "I hope you can keep your promise and let go of my Nanxuan general."
"Do not worry."
The man in the cloak said nothing more and made a "please" gesture, inviting Liang Yan into the valley.
It's all for this reason. Even though he doesn't trust foreign races, he still has to join them.
Led by the mysterious cloaked man, the 180,000 alien army formed a long queue and monitored Liang Yan and Wu Xin as they slowly entered the passage of the valley.
This passage is deep and silent, and the deeper it goes, the stronger the evil atmosphere of extinction around it.
Even with Liang Yan's cultivation level, he felt suffocated. Fortunately, he had mastered the secret technique recorded in the "Zhonglu Secret Scroll" and had already developed an ancient bell in his soul, which could suppress this evil spirit.
As for Wu Xin, she had already survived the soul calamity, and the strength of her soul was extraordinary. In addition, Liang Yan had intentionally or unintentionally helped her resist part of the evil spirit, so she was not affected.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone walked out of the deep passage and entered a dark valley.
Looking from a distance, there is a huge magic circle in the center of the valley. The magic circle is divided into eight areas, and there seems to be a clever connection between them.
Because of the obstruction of the formation, Liang Yan could not see the scene inside, but his five senses and six senses were different from ordinary people, and he could smell a trace of blood.
"Be careful, there is a bloody aura hidden in the magic circle. I'm afraid these aliens have no good intentions." Liang Yan secretly sent a message to Wu Xin.
"Um."
He nodded carelessly, but looked at the magic circle in the distance, frowning slightly, "Look at that magic circle, it has the faint aura of a Taoist sect, but it looks very evil, comparable to my magic magic circle.
I don’t know where it comes from.”
"You'll know soon."
Liang Yan glanced at the cloaked man in the distance, and suddenly spoke, coldly: "We are already here, why are we still trying to be mysterious? Release my Nanxuan soldiers quickly, and I will exchange the stone slab with you."
"Haha, Liang Shuai is very impatient. If this is the case, then open the magic circle and let Liang Shuai inspect the goods!"
The cloaked man waved his sleeves, and the three alien clan leaders immediately understood and stepped forward with bells, green wooden staffs and giant axes respectively. Putting the three magic weapons together, streaks of rays of light suddenly appeared, pouring into the magic circle in the center of the valley.
middle.
"It is said that the eight major divine tribes all have an ancestral secret treasure, and the Zerg Control Tribe also has a 'Ten Thousand Years Gu Cauldron', but it is not in my hands, but in the hands of the clan leader." Wu Xin said to Liang Yan.
"So the three magic weapons should be left by the ancestors of their three tribes." Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Rumble!
While the two were talking, a loud noise suddenly erupted in front of them, and then bursts of rays of light released all the peripheral restrictions, and the fog that originally surrounded them also dissipated.
Liang Yan looked at it intently and found that it was a huge disk, divided into eight areas. Each area had a 100-foot-long python statue, exuding an eerie and strange aura.
There is an altar in the middle of the disk, and an ancient tree grows on the altar, with a monk hanging at the end of each branch of the ancient tree.
Looking carefully, these monks are clearly soldiers of Nanxuan. There are only a few hundred of them. One of them has a bloody face and disheveled hair. He is Tang Qianzhi, one of the "Four Young Masters of Nanxuan"!
When Liang Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"What are you doing? Is this how you treat the hostages?" Wu Xin shouted angrily before he could speak.
"Haha, calm down, you two."
The man in the cloak didn't care at all, he chuckled and said: "I admit, these people did suffer a little, but who told Tang Qianzhi to be disrespectful to our God Clan in the first place? In fact, it's all his own fault! Besides, I didn't
Violating our trading rules, I only said I would hand these people into your hands, but I didn’t say they were all alive and kicking, right?"
"you!"
Wu Xin was furious and was about to say something more, but was stopped by Liang Yan.
"That's all, the matter is over, no need to waste your time with this person, I'll go see if they are still alive, you stay here," Liang Yan said in a deep voice.
Wu Xin is connected with him, so of course she understands what he means.
The two of them cannot enter the magic circle at the same time. One person must support them outside, otherwise they will easily be plotted.
Liang Yan asked her to stay where she was, precisely because he wanted her to monitor the aliens and take action immediately if there was any trouble!
"Okay, be more careful yourself." Wu Xin whispered.
Liang Yan nodded and said nothing more.
He made a magic spell, and his body turned into a ray of light, quickly passing over the foreign monks in front and falling into the magic circle.
Throughout the whole process, no one stopped me.
Arriving inside the array, Liang Yan was finally able to experience many details of the array for himself. Some of the mysteries that he could not see clearly just now suddenly became clear to him.
"It's actually rebellious gossip"
Although he couldn't tell the name of this array, he was keenly aware that the layout here referred to the essence of Taoism's Bagua, but most of them were reversed, and some weird array patterns were added to give people a sense of
A sinister feeling.
"Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and demons are the four major traditions of our human race. All kinds of secret techniques and formations are only spread to the outside world. Since entering the Black Mountain Territory, the foreigners I have seen have never used the magic of the four major traditions.
What they are good at are their own clan's secret arts. If that's the case, why is there a formation that counters the Eight Trigrams here?"
Liang Yan's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of an explanation.
The man hidden in the black cloak, who was called the "Witch God" by the witch monks along the way, may not be a foreign monk!
"A foreign monk like me?"
Liang Yan was wary and looked around in the dark while flying.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and his attention was attracted to a certain corner of the formation.
"Since it is a counter-bagua, the essence of the eight formations must be reversed. Why is that place the exception?"
At this moment, Liang Yan deduced dozens of possibilities, and his thoughts gradually became clear.
"Such a conspicuous anomaly can be seen by any monk who has studied the Dao Sect formation, but it appears here openly. Is it because the monks in the Black Mountain Domain cannot understand the external formation? In this way, can that person
What else are you hiding?"
"Interesting, it seems the situation here is more complicated than I thought."
When Liang Yan thought of this, a sneer unconsciously appeared on his lips.
At this moment, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from the front, and Tang Qianzhi spat out a mouthful of black blood, his body shook violently, and his right eye, which was originally stuck with blood, barely opened a slit.
