I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 212 The Dead Land
I saw countless seawater hanging upside down around the cloud chariot, constantly encircling it.

Among the water columns that filled the sky, countless ice spikes stood out and headed straight towards the cloud chariot.

Densely packed, they arrived in front of the cloud chariot in the blink of an eye.

boom! ! !
One after another roar sounded.

All the ice spikes were blocked by Yun Nian's outer defensive formation.

But the water column that filled the sky was already in front of him, as if it was enough to tear the cloud chariot apart in just a moment.

Just when everyone exclaimed.

Only a cold snort was heard from within the cloud chariot.

instant time.

The water column all over the sky was completely destroyed and turned into sea water.

Under the sea, a roaring sound sounded from the Sea Bat King's mouth.

The shock caused Yun Nian's defensive formation to tremble.

It seemed like it would break at any moment.

At this moment, Master Xuanjian's voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"You shameless beast."

"court death!"

The voice fell.

Then he saw a sword light flying out from the cloud chariot, heading straight for the Sea Bat King under the sea.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it penetrated the body of the Sea Bat King.

A stream of blood instantly spurted out from the sea.

But the next moment, the Sea Bat King was seen disappearing, as if he had fled thousands of miles away.

Within the cloud chariot.

A look of surprise flashed across Xuan Jian's face.

He murmured to himself: "He actually ran away. When did this evil beast become so smart?"

Logically speaking, the Sea Bat King is the least intelligent sea beast in the deep sea.

Even if he has reached the golden elixir realm, he is still not smart.

He thought that this sea beast would attack Yun Nian even more crazily after being injured.

At that time, he can also take the opportunity to harvest a demon elixir in the golden elixir realm.

After all, if this sea beast wants to escape in the deep sea, even if he is a swordsman in the Golden Core realm, he will not be able to kill it.

Pity……

on the frame.

Everyone looked at the blood on the sea below, their eyes full of shock.

In their opinion, this Golden Core Realm Sea Bat King could crush them to death in an instant.

After all, the difference between golden elixir and foundation building is like cloud and mud.

Not to mention, monsters are already physically powerful, and they become even more powerful in their own suitable environment.

Unexpectedly, Master Xuan Jian killed the Sea Bat King with just one sword strike.

He had to run away.

It seems that their safety is guaranteed this time as they follow Tianji Sect's Yun Nian into the deep sea.

Yun Zhan looked at the many monks around him and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, it's better to go back quickly."

"Uncle Master just now sent word that we need to move forward at full speed. I'm afraid you might feel uncomfortable if you stay here."

After hearing Yun Zhan's words, everyone just talked in low voices.

Then they each returned to their rooms.

Zuo Dao returned to the room and recalled the sword made by Master Xuanjian before.

He touched his chin subconsciously.

Judging from the sword strike just now, the strength of this Xuan Jian Daoist should be stronger than mine.

But the gap between the two is not that big.

He glanced at the old turtle who was lying on the table again, and said, "Senior, what do you think of Master Xuan Jian?"

The old turtle glanced at him and said, "Better than you."

Zuo said: "..."

He sighed quietly and said: "I know, I just want to know how big the gap is between the two of us."

The old turtle thought carefully.

Said: "The gap shouldn't be that big. He is a sword cultivator, and his powerful attack is what makes him unique. Taken together, there should be only a small difference."

"With your cultivation speed, you can surpass this person in at most half a year."

Zuo Dao nodded in agreement.

In his spiritual exploration, it was actually similar to Lao Gui's guess.

In addition, he has a secret method to protect himself, and his cultivation level cannot even be seen by the Nascent Soul.

By surprise, there should be a [-]% chance of defeating this person.

Thinking of this, Zuo Dao felt a lot more relieved.

The next few days.

Apart from occasionally going to the carriage to take a look at the deep sea, he spent the rest of his time in his room practicing.

During these few days.

He could clearly feel that more and more powerful auras appeared near Yun Nian.

They should all be sea beasts dormant in the deep sea.

The lowest ones are in the late stage of foundation building, and there are quite a few in the golden elixir realm, but they don't seem to be aware of Yun Nian's existence.

on this day.

Master Xuanjian's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Everyone, the island is right ahead. Please make preparations in advance and obey the orders of my Tianji Sect."

The voice fell.

Everyone immediately left the room and came to the carriage.

Zuo Dao was among the crowd and looked towards the isolated island in the distance ahead.

Is that the place where the Tianji Sect discovered the suspected ruins of an ancient sect?

He could vaguely sense that there was an extremely strong power of formation on that isolated island.

It seemed like the entire island was covered by the formation.

The entire island was buried in a mist, and even if he used his magic eyes, he couldn't see the things on the island.

How do the people of the Tianji Sect know that there are suspected ancient sect ruins on this island?
And it was said that dragon scales were found on it.

Could it be that something happened to the island later?
Master Xuanjian stood on the cloud chariot, looking at the island not far away, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon, Yun Nian came to the front of the island.

Next to Master Xuanjian, a disciple of the Tianji Sect said, "This island seems to have been activated to protect the island. Could it be that someone else has entered the island?"

Hearing this, Master Xuanjian shook his head and said, "It's impossible. With our Tianji Sect's sky-gazing mirror monitoring us, no one can enter this island silently under this treasure."

Hearing Master Xuanjian speak, the Tianji Sect disciple sneered and said, "It's best this way."

Master Xuanjian snorted coldly, then looked at the people below and said: "Among you, many of you are third-level formation mages invited by our Tianji Sect. Please join us to see what mysteries are about this formation."

The Tianji Sect that invited the third-level formation master was not the formation master's handbook.

But something else.

As long as the price is enough, a lot of people will come to work for Tianji Sect.

Upon hearing this, the formation masters among the crowd all came forward with their magic weapons and used various methods at close range to observe the magic formation covering the island.

They could see that this magic circle was just a remaining magic circle.

Perhaps because it has been too long, or perhaps because it has been broken before, the power of the magic circle is now weak.

So if this group of third-level formation mages work together, it is really possible to open a hole.

Among the crowd, Zuo Dao was also secretly observing the magic circle with his spiritual consciousness.

It's just that with his strength as a first-order array mage, he can only observe and learn at best.

To him, this magic circle was like reading a book from heaven.

But fortunately, it can accumulate some array experience for him, if these array masters can really unlock the array.

Maybe he still has a chance to break through to the second level array mage.Master Xuanjian stands on the cloud chariot and is responsible for monitoring the surrounding sea areas to prevent intrusion by blind sea beasts.

They were well prepared this time.

The original plan was to use these formation mages to break through the formations protecting the spiritual creatures on the island.

And for those who far exceed the ability of the formation master.

They also brought fourth-level formation-breaking talismans, which should be able to break the remaining formations.

The reason why the fourth level formation breaking talisman was not used directly.

It's because this thing is too precious, and they don't want to waste it on the island protection formation.

After a few days.

Just when Master Xuanjian and the Tianji Sect disciple were getting impatient.

Then I heard an array master exclaim: "It's broken, it's broken."

At the same time as this person spoke, Zuo Dao also used his spiritual consciousness to observe all the methods this person used to break the formation.

Especially when openings are opened above the island protection formation.

On his personal panel, the + sign behind the formation lit up again.

As long as he is willing, he can break through to the second level array mage at any time.

It's just that his energy points are a little low now, and he still has to keep them for emergencies.

Therefore, he decided to slow down the improvement of the formation.

The voice fell.

Everyone's eyes suddenly engulfed him.

I saw that a hole was opened in the island protection formation as expected.

One person can enter at a time.

Seeing this, Master Xuan Jian was not very satisfied, but at least he was able to get in.

So I didn't say much.

Instead, he gave a bag of spirit stones and threw them to the formation master who broke the formation.

immediately.

Master Xuanjian glanced at the Tianji Sect disciples who were accompanying him not far away.

I saw the Ji Sect disciple nodded slightly that day, and then his figure instantly disappeared into the passage.

After a moment.

Then he saw him returning and said to Master Xuanjian: "Uncle Master, this passage does lead to the island. There seems to be something weird inside, but as far as the disciples can see, there should be no danger."

Hearing this person speak, Master Xuanjian nodded slightly.

Then he ordered several Tianji Sect disciples to guard Yun Nian, while he led the rest of the people into the passage one after another.

Zuo Dao blended in with the crowd and entered the island protection formation.

Just after passing through, I saw the scene on the island at this moment. Everywhere I looked, it was full of dilapidated scenes.

The entire tone presents a gray-black color, which seems to exude an ultimate dead silence.

This made everyone who entered the island feel a chill for no reason.

Master Xuan Jian was also a little surprised when he saw the scenery in front of him.

That was not what the disciple who discovered the island said before. He said that the island was full of fairy spirit, but there were ruins everywhere.

Moreover, there are countless formations guarding him, allowing him to only wander along fixed routes.

So as soon as he returned to the Thousand Islands Sea, he contacted the sect.

The sect also used the help of Master Xuanjian to announce the reward for the demon luring grass, and sent the sect disciples into the deep sea to explore.

They exchanged their lives for a relatively safe navigation chart.

Direct access to the island.

Why now that they have broken through the island defense formation, what they see is the scene before them.

Master Xuanjian frowned.

Beside him.

That special Tianji Sect disciple watched all this with great interest.

In his hand, an extra scale appeared at some point, and he said with a smile: "Are you sure it's the dragon scale found on this island?"

The moment the dragon scale appeared, Old Turtle felt something in his heart.

Those were indeed the scales on my master's body, and they should have fallen off after a serious injury.

But why couldn't he detect whether this island contained the scent of dragon ball fragments?

Lao Gui secretly sent a message and informed Zuo Dao of the matter.

At the same time, he also said that the Tianji Sect disciple next to Master Xuanjian had an unusual identity.

Zuo Dao just glanced at that place and stopped paying attention.

Although he didn't know the other party's identity, he noticed something was wrong from his secret observation.

Although the man was wearing the clothes of an inner disciple of the Tianji Sect.

But when he communicated with Master Xuanjian, it was obvious that he was an equal, and even Master Xuanjian was vaguely on the weaker side.

It seems that this person's identity is unusual.

Master Xuanjian just looked at the island, and then led everyone towards the center of the island.

As everyone gets closer to the center.

The feeling of death and silence they could feel became more and more intense.

Even the weaker ones began to tremble a little.

It's not because of the body, but because of a chill coming from the soul, making it tremble involuntarily.

Old Turtle secretly sent a message: "Something is wrong here, so be careful."

Zuo Dao responded secretly.

immediately.

Everyone arrived at the center of the island.

It was at the foot of the mountain in the center of the island, and they could faintly see the gate hidden in the mist.

Only the word "Zong" can be vaguely seen above.

If nothing unexpected happens, this place is indeed the site of an ancient sect as discovered by the Tianji Sect.

Master Xuanjian frowned, and sword light grew on his body surface.

Protect spontaneously.

The indifferent expression on the Tianji Sect disciple beside him gradually faded away at this moment.

On the surface of its body, there is faint magic power flowing.

Then fight against the death chamber of this place.

Others, whose strength has not yet reached the golden elixir level, are now clearly feeling a little uncomfortable.

Yunzhan used all his magic power to protect himself.

At the same time, he was yelling curses in his heart, scolding those fellow disciples who came to explore the way.

This ghost place can also be said to be a paradise.

Master Xuanjian said: "Yunzhan, you will take some people to the marked location of the elixir garden. I will take the others in to explore the way. After the elixir garden is cleaned up, they will come to join us."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhan immediately raised his hands and responded.

Then he took all the alchemists, including Zuo Dao, and some of the array mages assigned before, and headed somewhere at the foot of the mountain.

According to the news investigated by their Tianji Sect disciples.

The ruins of this ancient sect include more than just the elixir garden at the foot of the mountain.

But the elixir garden at the foot of the mountain is considered the safest.

And the formation is also the easiest to crack.

That's why Master Xuanjian arranged it like this.

By the time Yunzhan and his men clean up the elixir garden and come to join them, they should have almost explored the place.

Zuo Dao blended in with the crowd and followed Yun Zhan all the way.

Not long after, they came to a spiritual medicine garden that looked extremely dilapidated.

Through the deathly mist, he even vaguely saw that there were still many spirit planters active in the elixir garden.

I'm afraid there might be a ghost in this place...
