After entering the desolate house, the feeling of dilapidation became even stronger. Even the air was filled with a rotten smell. It was very unpleasant, and the three of them did not look too good.
The entire house was very quiet. Other than the sound of their footsteps and breathing, there was no other sound. This was completely illogical. It was summer now, and the place was overgrown with weeds. Logically, there should be many insects and the like. It was impossible for there to be no sound at all.
This also proved that there was an array formation here. Moreover, this array formation was extremely powerful!
They followed the path at the entrance and went through a place that looked like a garden. The scenery in front of them suddenly changed.
The dilapidated houses around them suddenly disappeared and were replaced by a layer of white fog. The fog filled the air. Other than where the three of them stood, there was nothing else.
Si Lin and Rong Ye stood on both sides of Gu Qingqing and looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, a rain of arrows appeared from within the white fog and attacked the three of them.
Rong Ye waved his hand and a few talismans flew out and floated in front of the three of them. The talismans flashed and then suddenly enlarged like a wall and blocked in front of the three of them. The arrows that flew towards them hit the talismans and a white light flashed. The talismans and arrows disappeared at the same time.
The three of them did not let down their guard and continued to look around vigilantly.
Five breaths later, heavy footsteps were heard from the white fog.
The three of them stared at the white fog around them, waiting for the things in the white fog to appear.
Soon, a group of “people” appeared in front of the three of them.
Rather than saying that they were people, it was more appropriate to say that they were zombies. Part of their bodies had rotted and their movements were somewhat stiff. Their bodies were covered with green fur and two sharp teeth were revealed from the corners of their mouths. Their nails had also become very long, and they looked very sharp.
There were about twenty zombies surrounding Gu Qingqing and the others. After they sensed the presence of Gu Qingqing and the other two, their movements suddenly became faster, and they charged straight towards them.
“A bunch of ants!” Rong Ye snorted coldly. He did not put these zombies in his eyes, even though their cultivation levels were all around level four.
If it was anyone else, they naturally would not be able to deal with these zombies. However, Si Lin and Rong Ye were not ordinary people.
Si Lin waved his hand, and more than twenty talismans flew out from his hand and floated in front of him. Under his control, each of these talismans flew towards a zombie. The zombies naturally felt the talismans and reached out to destroy them. Unexpectedly, before they touched the talismans, the talismans flashed with a golden light and suddenly shattered. Immediately after, a ball of flame appeared in front of the zombies, and before they could react, it directly wrapped around the zombies.
In just a moment, more than twenty zombies had turned into a pile of ashes, and they were truly turned into ashes.
“I found the core of the array.” Si Lin looked at the white fog around him and suddenly said.
Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye looked at Si Lin, and saw a sword suddenly appear in front of him.
The sword was about three feet long, and it was pure black. There was a dragon carved on the body of the sword. This was Si Lin’s natal magic weapon, the Dragon-Imprisoning Sword!
After the Dragon-Imprisoning sword appeared, it seemed to have sensed something and became very excited. Si Lin stretched out his hand and the Dragon-Imprisoning Sword naturally flew into his hand. After he held the hilt of the sword, the dragon on the sword suddenly blinked its eyes as if it had come alive.
After holding the sword, Si Lin’s entire aura changed.
Previously, Si Lin was only relatively cold in Gu Qingqing’s eyes. He was like a lonely flower on a mountain peak, making people fear him. However, at this moment, Si Lin was like a sharp sword, making people not dare to look at him directly!
Si Lin naturally did not know what Gu Qingqing thought. He held the Dragon-Imprisoning sword in his hand, and with a tap of his toes, he floated in mid-air. Then, he stabbed a dozen times in mid-air, and the tip of the sword burst out with a strong white light.
After the white light disappeared, the white fog around them also disappeared. They returned to the desolate house. The surroundings were still dilapidated rooms and weeds that were half the height of a person.
Si Lin and Rong Ye looked at each other and continued to search the desolate house with Gu Qingqing, looking for traces of the demonic cultivator.
..
Underground, a man dressed in a black robe threw a youth to the ground. The youth rolled on the ground in a sorry state and turned around to look at the black-robed man in fear.
If Gu Qingqing was here, she would be able to recognize that this youth was the youth she had met at the door. However, the youth at this moment was in a much more sorry state than before.
The youth named Zhuo Tingqiu felt that he was very unlucky. Looking at the terrifying-looking black-robed man, his heart was filled with regret.
Zhuo Tingqiu was the young master of the Zhuo family, one of the five great families in the Mysterious Sky Continent. The reason why he had appeared in Qingfeng City this time was because his cultivation had reached the peak of the second stage and he had been unable to break through. He wanted to come to the mountains to gain some experience. At the same time, he wanted to see if he could break through in the midst of danger.
Of course, the Zhuo family would not allow him to come out so easily. They had also sent many people to protect him. The two middle-aged men by his side were sent by the family to protect him. Both of their cultivation bases were at the peak of the fifth stage; they were also experts among the experts in the Mysterious Sky Continent. It was more than enough to protect Zhuo Tingqiu.
They did not encounter any big trouble along the way. Zhuo Tingqiu was still complaining. He did not expect to encounter big trouble on the first day he arrived in Qingfeng City. He had actually been kidnapped!
Moreover, the person who kidnapped him was very powerful. The two middle-aged men he brought weren’t a match for the black-robed man at all. Judging from the black-robed man’s appearance, he shouldn’t be a decent person. His situation wasn’t good!
With this thought in mind, he secretly used the corner of his eye to survey his surroundings. When he saw his surroundings clearly, Zhuo Tingqiu, who had been protected by his family since he was young, was almost dumbfounded.
They should be in the basement now. He could see many people lying on the ground not far away from him. These people were motionless, and there were many bloodstains on their bodies. He didn’t know whether they were dead or not, but beside them was a pool… Bubbles were popping up on the surface of the pool. The basement was dark, and one could only see that there seemed to be some kind of liquid in the pool. Combined with the bloody smell that filled the entire basement, Zhuo Tingqiu guessed that the liquid in the pool should be blood.
Now he understood why there were traces of blood on those people’s bodies. It was probably because they had been bleeding but had not been bandaged.
At the thought that he might suffer the same fate as these people who had been bleeding, Zhuo Tingqiu could not help but step back. His heart was filled with despair. He felt that he was definitely finished this time!
Just as Zhuo Tingqiu was frightened by his own guess, the black-robed man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His expression was somewhat sinister.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that someone would be able to break my array formation. It seems that the heavens are really helping me!” The black-robed man suddenly let out a sinister laugh. He glanced at Zhuo Tingqiu with an extremely strange expression.
Zhuo Tingqiu was shocked by the black-robed man’s reaction. He crossed his arms and retreated once again.
Just as he thought that the black-robed man would attack him, the black-robed man suddenly turned around and walked out. He was stunned for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief. He nervously stared at the back of the black-robed man. Just now, his cultivation had been sealed by the black-robed man. At this moment, he did not have the strength to truss a chicken; he could do nothing.
Just as the black-robed man reached the exit of the basement, he felt the sound of footsteps coming from the tunnel. He simply did not walk out. Instead, he stopped there and waited for someone to arrive.
