Above the dense crowd, tens of meters in the air, a pure black spaceship floated quietly.
Its scale is much smaller than the flying boat of the ancestor of the Li family that appeared in Qingyuan Town before. There are no carved palaces on it, only two simple buildings built of gray and white stone materials.
However, the spiritual patterns imprinted on the surface of this pure black flying boat are very dense, and countless halos are circulating, making the fluctuations of the elemental energy escaping around it extremely strong!
In one of the buildings above the flying boat, an old man wearing a simple black robe with a withered face and a skull-like shape was sitting cross-legged on a futon on the ground.
I saw him using both hands to continuously perform the formula, and his whole body was surging with astonishing energy fluctuations, as if he was casting spells with all his strength.
In mid-air two feet in front of him, a pure black scroll that was slightly unfolded was quietly suspended.
On part of the unfolded page, three rays of green, red and white light can be vaguely seen. Enveloped by countless layers of black energy, these lights are already very dim and are about to be extinguished.
I don’t know how long it took, but the black crystals embedded at both ends of the scroll suddenly shone, and a shock wave visible to the naked eye erupted with the scroll as the center!
Its power was so powerful that it not only caused violent vibrations in the void, but also faintly resonated, and even the halo that was originally flowing quietly on the surface of the airship began to shake violently!
Meng Du was not surprised when he saw this, he saw him hitting several magic spells on the black scroll one after another.
After a while, the latter's unusual movements gradually subsided, and he also slowly stopped his work.
He raised his hand and flicked at the black scroll in front of him, and the latter immediately restrained itself and landed firmly in his hand with a sway.
Mengdu opened the scroll slightly, and three mysterious and unusual symbols suddenly came into view.
The colors of these three symbols are different, namely cyan, red, and silver. They are quietly imprinted on the dark jade-like body of the scroll.
Seeing this, Meng Du couldn't help showing a trace of satisfaction on his face and murmured:
"It took a day and a night to finally completely refine these three old guys!"
Then he thought of the scene when he set off from Qingyuan Town in the morning, and his face darkened.
Three of his disciples are missing!
He didn't care about the life or death of Mi Yun and Lan Shu. From the moment the overall situation of Qingyuan Town was decided, their use value had ended.
But Mo Chen is different. He is his eldest disciple in Mengdu, his right-hand man, and an important part of this excavation of the Qingyuan Mountain ruins!
His disappearance at this time will undoubtedly have an impact on this operation.
In addition, Meng Du is more concerned about the meaning behind this matter.
The person who can make Mo Chen, who is in the late Kaiyuan realm, disappear silently must be at least in the Hunyuan realm!
At this critical juncture, a Hunyuan realm monk of unknown origin suddenly appeared, which could not help but arouse his fear!
After pondering for a while, a sneer suddenly appeared on Meng Du's dry, skeleton-like cheek:
"Hmph! With the Holy Spirit's dharma gift given by the Holy See, no matter who you are, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I'll have to give you a taste of the soul-sucking and soul-refining experience!"
At this moment, a respectful voice came from outside the door:
"Master!"
Turning his hand to put away the black scroll, Meng Du calmed down his expression and said calmly:
"explain!"
"Master Qi, the entrance to the ruins has arrived!"
"I got it. Call the third and fourth boys over. Your tasks need to be rearranged."
…
Standing thousands of meters in the air, Gao Yuan stared at the scene at his feet, speechless for a moment.
Is this what it looks like deep in the Qingyuan Mountains?
What appeared in front of him at this time was a depressing scene like an abandoned mine.
On the ground, there is a huge gap spanning tens of miles from north to south, and around it, scattered collapsed peaks are scattered.
Even though he was thousands of meters away, Gao Yuan could still feel the aura of decay coming towards him!
This was completely different from the image of a lush primitive mountain forest in his imagination. The gap was so big that it even made him feel disillusioned!
On the ground in the distance, those countless black spots that ran for hundreds of miles under his nose, crossing the Qingyuan Mountains, did not stop after reaching the huge gap.
Instead, under the guidance of those black figures hovering in the air, they followed the edge of the gap in an orderly manner, entered a deep pit, and walked quickly underground.
It didn't take long for these black spots to disappear into the potholes.
Then I saw a black figure flashing out of the black airship that had been floating above the crowd.
He was seen suspended next to the flying boat for a moment, and the latter suddenly turned into a stream of light and sank into his body.
I saw this figure hovering around quickly for a while, and then entered the deep pit.
The ruins then calmed down again.
Gao Yuan subconsciously turned his head to look at the mysterious man on the side, but saw that the other person did not respond at all, as if he was still waiting for something.
They had been waiting for more than half an hour. At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly turned his head and looked to the side.
Gao Yuan also looked over, stretching his neck and looking for a long time but found nothing.
Just when he felt strange, his eyes went dark again.
After a short delay, he found himself in a somewhat dim underground cave.
The same as before, the binding force wrapped around his body has not been completely loosened. At this time, he can still only move his head.
He subconsciously looked towards his feet.
Sure enough, he was still in mid-air this time. Because the surrounding light was so dark, he couldn't even see how far away he was from the ground!
He looked around again, only to find that the scale of this cave was astonishing.
All he could see were thick bamboo-like stone pillars, extending upward from the endless darkness where the bottom could not be seen, supporting a huge dome located several meters above his head!
With a sigh of admiration in his heart, Gao Yuan's gaze naturally turned to the source of light in this underground cave, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
I saw a huge brightly lit area hundreds of meters away, shaded by several bamboo shoot-shaped stone pillars!
This area is generally circular in shape. He roughly inspected it visually and found that the area was probably as large as several football fields.
I saw a huge double-layered altar in the center of this area.
In the central area of the altar, a huge blue-gray stone tablet stands majestically, its top almost reaching the dome of the cave!
This is a giant square stone tablet with countless mysterious and mysterious patterns on all sides. The golden halo is constantly flowing on the surface of these patterns, adding a sense of weight and majesty to this stone tablet!
After staring at the stone tablet and the altar for a long time, Gao Yuan then looked towards the periphery of the altar.
Several figures in black robes were seen, like busy bees, quickly shuttled in the mid-air around the altar, and from time to time they laid down magic spells downwards.
On the ground around the altar, countless figures with dull faces moved quickly in formation under the guidance of the spells played by the men in black robes.
Soon, a somewhat weird and irregular pattern was formed with the altar as the center.
When Gao Yuan saw this, the word 'sacrifice' came to mind unconsciously.
At this moment, the mysterious man on the side suddenly moved. His hands moved silently a few times, and then he slowly opened them like a rope.
At the same time, a cube the size of a fist and made of gray light suddenly appeared in his hand.
When Gao Yuan was feeling curious, he saw the gray cube suddenly enlarged and turned into a huge object with a side length of more than three meters, covering him and the mysterious man.
At the same time, he suddenly felt in his heart that under the cover of this cube, the area where he and the mysterious man were was completely separated from the surrounding environment!
