Chapter 365 Asking for help
The sunlight shifted to the west and could no longer reach the bottom of the valley, and the underground palace was once again shrouded in deep darkness.

The burning red flames were consumed bit by bit and slowly died out.

Zeng Wanglou performed several Shinto spells in succession, carefully surveying the underground palace from a distance of thirty miles, and whispered, "The underground palace is arranged with the 'Starry Sky Forbidden God' formation that was very common three to five thousand years ago. It is connected to the Shigong Dike formation two hundred miles away. The guarding Mohua is a soul puppet refined by the cultivators. It draws power from the formation and is almost impossible to kill unless the Starry Sky Forbidden God formation is completely dismantled."

Glancing at the barren hills, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Mo Hua, who had just been destroyed, appeared again in the darkness.

"To dismantle the underground Star Divine Forbidden Array, the simplest method is to destroy the roots of the mountain here. This will cause quite a stir, and this area of ​​200 miles will most likely be affected and submerged by the sea."

It is impossible for him to ignore the lives and property of people within two or three hundred miles of the seashore in order to save an unrelated deity in a wild temple.

How can you do such a stupid thing that puts the cart before the horse?

The guy who set up the battle formation back then had a very sinister and long-term plan.

When Xu Yuanchang heard the word "Stars", he discussed, "Zhao Jun followed the instructions of Grandmaster Xi and studied the 'Stars Formation' for decades. We can ask him to come and help break the Stars Forbidden God Formation here."

He certainly does not approve of the violent method of breaking the root of the mountain.

He has a wide network of contacts and many capable friends. When he encounters troubles, he thinks differently from the loner cultivator Lao Zeng. He seeks help from his friends and does not feel ashamed.

Zeng Wanglou thought for a moment and said, "Tell Zhao Jun not to leak this matter. After all, this is on someone else's territory."

He didn't want to make known to everyone a benefit that he hadn't even gotten yet.

He was proficient in several types of formations and had some knowledge of the forbidden gods of the stars. It was too difficult for him to break them by himself without harming the gods suppressed under the underground palace.

Every profession has its own expertise, and asking others for help is only a last resort.

Xu Yuanchang agreed, took out the communication talisman, recited silently for a while and then sent it out.

Zeng Wanglou laid out an image of the underground palace in the air, using dots of flashing white light to mark the main nodes of the formation on the image, and said, "Master Yuan, cast a spell to send out a hundred bean soldiers, led by five fourth-level bean soldiers, to destroy these locations in the underground palace. It will take some time for Zhao Jun to arrive, so I will make some preparations in advance."

He took out a black umbrella and threw it far away, covering the area of ​​more than ten miles around the underground palace.

Xu Yuanchang memorized the location of the light spot and flew into the small world of the black umbrella, releasing five teams of ghost bean soldiers. With the black umbrella blocking the sunlight, he could fully exert the power of the bean soldiers' concealment, combination, explosion, and puppet formation.

There was a loud bang and a pitch-black, cold fog gushed out from the underground palace, with countless black spots densely distributed in it.

Ready to make a move, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Zeng Wanglou snorted coldly, and the haze transformed from the black umbrella suddenly opened up a hole thirty feet in size. The angle of the sunlight was slightly slanted, but it was enough to deal with the cold black fog that dared to overflow from the hole below.

Use ordinary sunlight that yet possesses supreme divine power to restrain the soul puppets that do not belong to this world, just like using brine to poach tofu, one thing is subdued by another, saving time and effort.

Taking advantage of the moment when Mo Hua's morale was low and the sunlight was weakened in the underground palace, Xu Yuanchang controlled the bean soldiers to sneak in from the darkness where the sunlight could not reach. Before Mo Hua could notice something was wrong and counterattack, he divided the soldiers into five teams, all of which formed a death spiral formation and rushed into the thick darkness below.

"Give it to me... Fu!"

Zeng Wanglou pinched different magical gestures with each hand, driving the accumulated wood energy to swirl and rush out from the mud wall of the cave entrance.

Tough ropes of light condensed from wood energy were entangled around the somewhat disoriented Mohua.

In just a moment, Mo Hua twisted wildly, and countless sharp blades covered his body, attacking in a dazzling manner. "Bang bang bang", the wood light rope could not last for two breaths and collapsed in the darkness.

It was too late for Mo Hua to stop Team 5's attacking bean soldiers.

The bean soldiers circled to the extreme, and "boom" hit the five nodes of the underground palace. The huge power of the self-explosion blasted five large holes in the rock-solid ground of the underground palace, which was blessed by the big formation, and successfully destroyed the five nodes. Mo Hua almost went crazy, and huge black petals bloomed, blocking the holes layer by layer.

Zeng Wanglou removed the black umbrella, letting in the sunlight, and ignored the petals being scorched and emitting gurgling mist.

Xu Yuanchang waved out a large amount of red fire, increasing the consumption of Mohua's energy.

Later, he tried to use the divine light of creation to coordinate the attack.

Zeng Wanglou exchanged several magical powers and treasures, and the two of them spent more than an hour fighting with Mo Hua. As the sun set, facing the endless petals, they were like fighting against the Star Forbidden God Formation, and the two had no choice but to give up.

They don't want to cause any unmanageable commotion.

"Let's wait for Zhao Jun to come and defeat the enemy with a formation. When we see an opportunity, we can break a few nodes and weaken the power of heaven and earth bit by bit."

Zeng Wanglou glanced at the withered trees nearby and said, "Master Yuan, please set up an illusion array to cover up the trees within a dozen miles that have been drained of vitality, so as to prevent the monks passing by from noticing the clues."

Xu Yuanchang took out a silver mirror and flew low around the forest on the top of the mountain.

After a while, the withered grass and trees came back to life again.

He did not understand the advanced arrangement of formations, but the phantom soldiers he sacrificed could make up for his shortcomings in formations.

When Zeng Wanglou was in the dark world before, he witnessed with his own eyes that Xu Yuanchang could set up various realistic illusion arrays on ice fields, sand fields and wastelands. The biggest advantage of this was that it did not consume his own magic power.

The two men waited until it was almost dawn, and Zhao Jun rushed from the westernmost end of Dingzhou to the eastern end.

After a brief greeting, Zhao Jun, escorted by the two, couldn't wait to approach the pit that emitted a faint light at night.

Several black rays shot towards the three people, but were taken away and diverted by Zeng Wanglou with a black umbrella. Several "bang bang" sounds were heard ten miles away.

Later, he experienced various invisible attacks, all of which were resolved by Zeng Wanglou's treasures.

"Old Xu, try using fire to attack."

Zhao Jun's eyes were sparkling with excitement. He had studied the Starry Night Array for decades. The large array in front of him, which was said to have been set up more than three thousand years ago, was a perfect opportunity for him to display what he had learned. Moreover, with two masters protecting him, he could do whatever he wanted.

As soon as Xu Yuanchang had a thought, a ball of red flame appeared in the darkness.

However, it had only been burning for less than ten breaths at the cave entrance when, with a "puff", a faint light covered it and extinguished it.

"The power of the stars is soft and invisible, yet indestructible and invincible."

Zhao Jun pondered and said, "Try it with the magic weapon."

Zeng Wanglou snapped his fingers, and a sword light as bright as a rainbow slashed fiercely towards the entrance of the underground palace.

A huge black mouth stretched out and swallowed the sword light. Mo Hua, who was guarding this place in the dark night, was simply omnipotent.

After trying several other methods of attack, Zhao Jun personally used the formation equipment to attack. By the time he had figured out the basic operating rules of the formation, it was already daybreak.

Two rays of light flew in from the seaside.
