Chapter 661 Little Black Jade

Elder Mao snorted again and said,

"This saves us a lot of trouble!"

After thinking for a while, he gave an order.

"Although we have repelled the high-ranking Buddhist monk in front of us, he is alone and will most likely call for help. We should quickly find a way to enter the magic circle!"

Everyone agreed, and Elder Mao divided everyone into several teams.

"Separately, look for the entrance to the magic circle!"

Everyone responded and left. Gu Shiyi happened to be assigned to Wang Wanli's group. The two looked at each other, then at the other two who left with the other team. Gu Shiyi whispered to Wang Wanli,

"It seems that the people from the Zhengyuan Sect are divided into a separate team!"

Wang Wanli also noticed it, and after thinking about it, he ordered the other three people,

"Go and have a look over there!"

The three of them went away in response, and Wang Wanli took out a small gourd, turned the gourd mouth right side up, and poured out a long and thin centipede.

"Om..."

When the centipede landed on the ground, it spread a pair of transparent wings on its back, flapped them twice and flew up. Wang Wanli's mouth twitched, but no sound came out. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the people from Zhengyuan Sect disappeared. The centipede turned around, flapped its wings and flew away!
Gu Shiyi asked curiously,

"Is this Daoist Wang's pet?"

Wang Wanli said,

"This is the flying centipede I've been raising since I was a kid. I named it Little Black Jade. It's very useful for small investigations!"

Gu Shi nodded,

"What a good name... Little Black Jade!"

Wang Wanli laughed.
"Gu Daoyou, let's go!"

Gu Shiyi nodded, and he and Wang Wanli caught up with the three people in front...

The mountain gate of the Chiyang Sect was located on the Tianshi Ridge. Since all the disciples were corpse cultivators and had given up all emotions, the caves of the disciples were extremely simple. Everyone searched every cave and also the residence of the sect leader, but apart from finding a few zombies, they found nothing else.

Wang Wanli and Gu Shiyi stood in the main hall of Chiyang Sect. There was nothing in the empty cave except a few tables, chairs and benches. The two and the other three looked at each other. Wang Wanli looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, but saw the news from above that the teams had found nothing. He was a little surprised and said,

"This entire mountain range is not very big, and there is no special spiritual energy fluctuation. So where is the entrance?"

Gu Shiyi pretended to regret and said,
"If I had known this earlier, I would have stopped a member of the Chiyang Sect and tortured him thoroughly!"

Wang Wanli said,

"How can you blame Brother Gu for this? If you try to stop them, you will probably be attacked by their followers. It's hard to say whether we can save you in time. It's unnecessary to take this risk!"

Gu Shiyi frowned and said worriedly,
"But... now I don't know where the entrance to this magic circle is..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wang Wanli's expression change, and he winked at Gu Shiyi.
"My little black jade is back!"

Gu Shiyi understood and went over to the three people and said,
"It suddenly occurred to me that the magic circle is located below the Sky Corpse Ridge. Why don't we look underground to see if there are any secret passages or traps?"

Gu Shiyi led the three people to knock on the ground, while Wang Wanli over there had already raised his hand to collect his small black jade, his mouth opened and closed, and no one knew what he was saying. Not long after, Wang Wanli came over and found an opportunity to send a message to Gu Shiyi,
"The people of Zhengyuan Sect are setting up a magic array on the highest peak of Tianshi Ridge..."

Gu Shiyi was stunned.
"Aren't you looking for the entrance to the magic circle? Why are you still setting up the formation?"

Wang Wanli shook his head and said,

"I don't know, but according to my little black jade's description, the formation they set up seems to be a trap."

"Trapped array?"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows,
"Who do they want to trap?" Now the leader of the Chiyang Sect is in the magic circle, and the disciples have already run away. Could it be that... there is another powerful enemy coming, and they can't deal with it, so they set up the magic circle first?

Are they so sure that people will come and run to the mountains in the north?
Gu Shiyi felt strange, and felt that something was wrong with the people of Zhengyuan Sect. After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Wanli,

"This matter is strange, we'd better be careful!"

As he was talking, he saw the jade pendant of the alliance hanging on his waist flashing. He picked it up and saw that it read,

"The entrance has been found. Come to the northwest of Tianshi Ridge as soon as possible..."

Upon seeing this, the two of them hurriedly brought the other three fellow Taoists with them and flew to the northwest of Tianshi Ridge. Tianshi Ridge is a mountain range that stretches across the desert. Looking from the air, it is a long and narrow strip. Among the ups and downs of the mountain, there is a gap that seems to have been chopped by a giant axe. The entrance to the magic circle was found here!

When they reached the narrow place which was only three meters long and wide, many people had already arrived, including Elder Mao. Gu Shiyi glanced around, but did not see the team of people from Zhengyuan Sect. They should still be setting up the magic array. Gu Shiyi winked at Wang Wanli, and the two of them quietly joined Zhao Dexian and Lin Pu. They saw a dark cave entrance on the dark rocks, and there were stone steps extending all the way down from the cave entrance. Some Taoist friends had already gone down to investigate and came back to report.
"Elder Mao, there is a teleportation array below... This should be the entrance to the array..."

Elder Mao nodded and looked around.
"It looks like everyone is here. Which team will be the forward?"

Gu Shiyi and the three exchanged glances, but none of them spoke. Instead, the group of people from the Zhengyuan Sect spoke up.

"Elder, let's go down first!"

Elder Mao nodded.
"Okay, you guys take the lead, I'll follow behind..."

He looked at the crowd again and gave an order,

"Wu Rui, take two of your fellow disciples with you to guard here..."

"Yes, Master!"

The cultivator named Wu Rui was also from Zhengyuan Sect. Gu Shiyi counted them silently in his mind. There were five people setting up the formation, three had left earlier, five were injured, and now there were five people leading the charge. There were also three people guarding the cave entrance. When the people from Zhengyuan Sect came, they had the largest number of people in the team, but with this arrangement, including Elder Mao and his men, there were only six people who could enter the formation!
Look at this arrangement, it was clearly designed long ago, to keep most of the people from Zhengyuan Sect outside!
Gu Shiyi winked at Wang Wanli, and the four of them moved to the back without leaving a trace, walking at the end of the team. While everyone was not paying attention, Wang Wanli told them about the people of Zhengyuan Sect setting up the formation outside. Lin Pu was very thoughtful, and when he heard it, he frowned and sent a message to the three of them,

"There is something fishy about this matter..."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly said,

"What do you think... who are they trying to trap? Could it be that the Hanba in this magic circle is not dead?"

His statement is truly shocking!

Gu Shiyi had not expected this. Seeing the three of them looking at him in shock, Lin Pu thought for a moment and whispered,
"Think about it, the people from the Chiyang Sect have already escaped. If they were sent to prevent the invaders, they should not have set up a trap formation, but a defensive formation. Usually, a trap formation is used when encountering a powerful enemy that cannot be dealt with. But how did the Zhengyuan Sect know that a powerful opponent would appear?"

If there were any high-level cultivators among the invaders, and Elder Mao was not there, the people from the Zhengyuan Sect who set up the formation were only in the early Nascent Soul stage. Who could they resist?
The high-level Buddhist monk in front, who was from the Zhengyuan Sect, seriously injured five of them and even set up a sword formation to defeat the enemy!
So they are not here to guard against invaders, then...what are they doing in Tianshi Ridge?

Naturally, take the magic weapon that has suppressed the drought demon for thousands of years!
But what if the drought demon is not dead?
Once the magic weapon is taken, won’t the drought demon be born?
Isn't it necessary to set up a magic circle to trap it?
Lin Pu's words awakened the three people from their dreams. They were all shocked. Zhao Dexian frowned tightly.
"This Hanba is almost a demon. How can we deal with it?"

This demon is not the kind of demon that invades from the Demon Realm. Although that kind of demon has demonic energy that can disturb people's minds and make people fall into the devil's way, this kind of demon is not too scary in general, even if it is the big demon king from that world, because the spiritual energy of this world has a natural suppression on the monsters in the Demon Realm. When a cultivator encounters such a monster, as long as he runs fast and avoids the opponent's first wave of killing moves, even if he does not take action, he can delay time with the opponent and use the natural advantages in this world to wear down the opponent to death!
But it is different for the Hanba that became a demon in this world. It is a creature of this world and is not afraid of the spiritual energy of this world. Moreover, once it appears, the land will be barren for thousands of miles and there will be a three-year drought. It moves like the wind and comes and goes like lightning. Even if the monks can fly, they may not be able to escape its clutches. Moreover, the Tianshi Ridge is filled with corpse qi, which is its home ground. If the magic weapon to suppress it is taken and then released, none of the fifty-six people in the group, except Elder Mao, will be able to escape!

Thinking of this, the four people's faces turned pale. They looked at each other with gloomy faces. Zhao Dexian said,

"Why don't we just get out quietly?"

Lin Pu snorted coldly.

"Wu Rui is a new generation of disciples from the Zhengyuan Sect who specializes in swordsmanship. Guess...if we retreat now, will he chop off our heads with his giant sword the moment we get out of the cave?"

Zhao Dexian's expression changed.

"What does Zheng Yuan Zong want to do? Is he going against the entire alliance? Why would he kill us?"

This time it was Gu Shiyi who answered the question.
"I have guessed what Zheng Yuanzong is thinking..."

He paused and was about to speak when he heard Elder Mao's voice coming from far ahead.

"Our disciples from the Zhengyuan Sect have already gone there. You should form groups of four and stand in the teleportation array..."

The four of them looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi shut up temporarily, standing at the back of the team, waiting for the cultivators in front to enter the magic circle in front in groups of four. When it was their turn, the four of them looked at each other and saw the reluctance in each other's eyes. However, at this time, Elder Mao, who was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was staring at them. Even if the four of them wanted to retreat, it was too late. They saw a flash of white light in front of their eyes, and when they could see clearly, they were already in another environment!
