Immortal Road.

Chapter 695: Nine Nether Formation, Master Maocun

"Kun Cult leader!"

Xiong Shan laughed loudly and stood tall, with his red coat fluttering.

Behind him, many Jindan Zhenren lined up in a row, and densely packed disciples of the gang followed one after another, all of them full of fighting spirit.

There were fierce battles going on everywhere in Jin Yao Peak, but the Wild Bear Gang clearly adopted the strategy of capturing the leader first. They ignored everything else and went straight to the heart of the matter, raiding the top of the mountain and not giving the leader of the Kun Cult any time to breathe.

As long as the leader of the sect is killed, are you still afraid that the Kun Sect will not collapse?
"Eight of the Nine Lights Peaks have been captured. The Beixian Fortress is in pieces. Now you are the only one left. If you resist stubbornly, you will die. It's not too late for you to take the initiative to walk out of the formation and apologize!"

Xiong Shan seemed to be trying to persuade the enemy to surrender, but in fact he had no intention of accepting the surrender. Instead, he communicated with the people behind him through telepathy and took the opportunity to analyze the flaws in the formation ceremony in front of him.

The soul-opening ceremony is too mysterious. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Jiuyou Sect and has never been revealed to the outside world. It is understandable that they are seeing it for the first time.

The main reason is that the scene is too big!

Hundreds of miles of dark clouds, tornadoes reaching the sky, endless blue spots of light, and so many portals leading to the Nine Netherworlds, anyone would have doubts.

It was dim inside the formation, and I had no idea what the leader of the Kun Cult was doing. It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.

Fortunately, they are numerous and have enough courage.

The only sound I could hear was sometimes clear and sometimes vague, and I couldn't hear it clearly.

"Xiong Shan, it turns out that you are the one who shouldn't be here. Mr. Bei is a master of martial arts and the art of battle array is the best in the world. How could he lose to you? It seems that something unexpected has happened in the outside world during my days of seclusion."

The people from the Wild Bear Gang pricked up their ears but had difficulty listening. Many of the key words were hazy, but it felt like the leader of the Kun Cult seemed to know their leader.
Master Xiongshan was also puzzled, as he and the leader of the Kun Sect should have never met each other before.

How do you feel, this sound?
Hiss~It seems a little familiar!

Of course, although I am familiar with it, so many years have passed, and I have met so many people with so many different voices. It is impossible for me to remember them all so clearly.

The Wu Dao Sect members looked at him and asked in confusion:

"Boss, is he an acquaintance of yours?"

"how could I know."

Master Xiong Shan was also unsure, and secretly went through all the Jindan-stage cultivators he had met over the years in his mind, but none of them matched.

"No matter what, do you guys see what this formation is all about? How do we break it?"

The Wild Bear Gang is now full of talented people, and they have invited a famous formation master from the State of Chu. The previous two Gengjin formations and the Sumeru Vajra formation were broken, and this one is naturally no exception.

"Let me take a look!"

A spirited old man with silver hair walked out from the crowd, holding a cone-tipped cane and leaning forward. If you look closely at his face, you will find that he is actually blind!

"Master Maocun, please slow down. We will escort you to explore the way ahead."

Master Xiongshan bent down, and together with the others, supported the old man named Master Maocun and moved forward step by step.

The strong aura of the Nine Netherworld spread all around, and the strange smell coming from the portal was a mixture of fishy, ​​astringent, bitter, numb, salty and other inexplicable smells.

"This is the breath of the Netherworld. What a nostalgic smell~"

Master Maocun looked intoxicated. He sniffed and took a deep breath, which was as refreshing as an iced drink in the dog days of summer. The people around him could not keep a straight face.

I saw him poking and poking with the pointed cane, and layer upon layer of ripples of the formation spread evenly, as if he was detecting a magic weapon, investigating the structure and operation rules of the formation.

Xiong Shan and the others had seen this before and were now able to adapt to it. They were just waiting with anticipation. Over there, Luan Chun and the others were entangled by other Jindan Zhenren and could not get away at all. They could only watch this group of people making trouble.

After a while,

"Ah! I understand!"

Master Maocun smiled and took back the dragon-headed crutch, whispering something to the man behind him: "Just do this, this, that."

Master Xiong Shan nodded continuously and immediately assigned a Jindan Zhenren under his command to break the formation according to Master Maocun's method.

The man had great faith in Master Maocun, and at the same time was not very interested in the rituals of the leader of the Kun Sect.

"The small Kun Cult has only so many people, yet they are playing tricks!"

He stepped into the formation, then moved five steps forward and three steps to the side, jumping left and right, taking more than ten steps in a row, without any injury.

"it is good!"

Everyone in the Wild Bear Gang cheered, and when Master Maocun heard it, he nodded and smiled, showing great confidence.

But the joy did not last long, as suddenly a scream was heard. Somehow, that person took a wrong step and stepped into empty air!
When he reacted, he found that he had walked to the gate of the Nine Netherworld. Countless green eyes were staring at him from behind the door.

"."

The man's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He dared not move. He just raised one foot and stared at the entity inside.

"what happened?"

"what happens?"

"Did you take the wrong path? Why don't you come back?"

"Say something, please."

There were shouts outside, but he didn't dare to answer, for fear of disturbing the nine ghosts and evil spirits.

Slowly, he quietly lifted his feet up
Countless eyes glowing green in the darkness followed him and looked up.
"!!!"

This person's legs were shaking even more violently, his heart was in his throat, and he gritted his teeth and pulled his feet back.
Those eyes followed him and slowly moved forward.
Just when he was about to retract his legs, countless big hands suddenly stretched out from the darkness!

"what!!!!"

The shrill screams penetrated strongly to the outside, scaring Xiong Shan and others.

After shouting for a while with no response, I was sure that the person was dead.

"Master Maocun, look at this."

Master Maocun was very puzzled. He had clearly understood the formation thoroughly, so why did an accident happen? Could it be that the person didn't follow the method he taught?
"Help me over there and take a look!"

The Wild Bear Gang brought him over again, and saw the dragon head pointing in front of them again, with ripples spreading out for a while.

Master Maocun frowned.

"That's right. I have already figured out 90% of the formation. Why don't you try someone else?"

Master Xiong Shan thought for a moment, then turned around and called another Jindan-stage cultivator:

"Thank you for taking the trip, fellow Daoist."

The man looked grim and wanted to say that he didn't want to take risks, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth. He could only grit his teeth and walk out.

After listening to Master Maocun chattering on and on about the route to break the formation, I looked at the pitch-black formation and the tornado above my head, and stepped in with hesitant steps.

Everyone stared at his back. Just like last time, the first ten steps went smoothly, but he suddenly turned a corner and was immediately submerged in the water and disappeared.

And then a scream!
There was no movement inside, and it was quiet.

Xiong Shan's expression gradually became gloomy. How could he not be angry at the loss of two Jindan Zhenren?
"Master Maocun, is this the method you told me to break the formation? Two people have already died!"

Master Maocun looked around in confusion. He had just heard the voice, but he still couldn't believe it and muttered to himself:
"Impossible, this shouldn't be the case. I clearly already... Could it be that someone is secretly controlling and changing the formation?" He had a bad guess in his mind and said to the man on Xiongshan Mountain:
"Boss, how about this? You send another person in. I'll be outside probing the formation and remotely directing him to respond to the situation. Let's see who is behind this?"

Master Xiongshan was also in a difficult situation. Jindan Zhenren was not a cannon fodder. Would he risk his life to explore the way for you?
He spent a large sum of money to invite Master Maocun because he valued his ability to set up formations, although average, but his ability to break formations. He was well-known in the State of Chu for his expertise!

The previous attack on the Jin Yao Peak's protective formation was indeed quick and easy, which opened his eyes. But when he got to the very last step, it suddenly failed and two of his own Jindan-stage subordinates were killed.

"Master, this can't happen again. If something unexpected happens again this time, don't blame me for being rude!"

Master Maocun felt threatened and quickly nodded, claiming that no, he would personally check it this time and there would definitely be no problems!
Master Xiongshan turned around and looked around. Apart from those who were outside trying to stop the Kun Sect, the only person standing nearby was a disciple of the Wudao Sect and the last of his own direct descendants.

"Thank you, brother. Please come for a visit."

The man's lips turned purple. He glanced at the man on Xiong Mountain with a pleading look. After all, the previous two people were dead, and he thought he was no stronger than those two people. How could he dare to take the risk when he knew it was dangerous?

Although Master Xiongshan felt reluctant, he couldn't let the true disciple of the Wudao Sect take risks, right?
I could only harden my heart, turn my face away, and tell him with my back to him: "Go, it's okay, trust Master Maocun."

In his heart, this person had no faith in Master Maocun, but he dared not show it. After all, once he entered the formation, his life and death were no longer in his own hands, and he had to rely on this blind old man to guide him and save his life.

"Then it's up to Master Lao Maocun."

Master Maocun nodded, and surrounded by his companions, he came to the edge of the formation again and used his magic weapon to probe inside.

I saw that man taking every step carefully and cautiously, scared to death.

"Left one."

"Top five."

"Third from right."

"The second one after that."

"Left huh? No!"

Master Maocun suddenly realized something was wrong and slammed the brakes. The cultivator in the formation almost stumbled and was sucked away by the powerful suction of the sky-high tornado!

The people from Xiongshan and Wudao Sect gathered around and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Master Maocun kept activating his magic weapon, and sweat could be seen on his forehead:

"Oh no, there's a colleague in there who is also a formation master. He can change the operation rules of the formation. No wonder I got stuck in it twice before. Stay still and watch how I break him!"

Next, Master Maocun and the unknown existence inside actually started fighting in the air.

The dangerous confrontation involves hidden secrets, and people who don’t understand the formation cannot tell what is happening inside.

"Keep going, don't stop."

"Top three."

"Second from the left."

"Right five."

The people inside did not dare to be negligent, for fear that if they took a step late, the formation would change and they would lose their direction and fall into the abyss.

As the scene proved in real time, Master Maocun really has some skills. Once he got serious, the person inside followed the instructions and went deeper and deeper!

After going deep for a long time, a cry of surprise was heard:
"I saw!"

Xiong Shan and others outside shouted:
"What did you see?"

There were intermittent voices coming from inside:

"The bronze gate leads to the Netherworld. Evil spirits, sacrifices, and cold winds. No wonder it's so cold."

"Oil lamps! Lots of oil lamps, one, two, three, four. Forty-nine oil lamps in total!"

"That's...not good!"

"Ah, no, these big hands, bang bang bang!"

The people outside were extremely anxious when they heard this, and Master Maocun was in a panic.

He used the power of his magic weapon, the Dragon Head Claw, to fight the man inside, but after calculating over and over again, it seemed that the other party also had some calculating tools, and was actually faster than him!
How can it be!

He is a person who is infinitely close to the grand master of formations, and he also has special magic weapons and equipment to break formations. Which of his colleagues he met before did not admit defeat to him?

Unless the person inside is a master of formations, or has a better method of divination?
However, just as he was careless, a desperate cry came from inside!
"No! Boss! Save me! Save me~"

The man on Xiong Mountain stretched out his big hand, and a cloud of water vapor spread out, opening up a water curtain. It turned out that he had just quietly cast a spell on the man, and now he could see the real-time picture.

I saw countless pairs of green hands dragging this person into the Nine Netherworld Gate. Pairs of green eyes pounced on him and swallowed up a Jindan stage cultivator in an instant!

"This is a green-skinned evil ghost from the Jiuyou Gate. It is a major race in the Jiuli Territory's Netherworld. It is naturally gluttonous and good at manipulating the Yin Wind."

The leader of the Wu Dao Sect recognized it and told it to Master Xiong Shan with a serious look in his eyes.

But why would the latter care about these trivial matters?
He lost three Jindan-stage direct descendants in a row, and he was immediately furious, and he picked up Master Maocun!
"Didn't you say it was okay? Why did you fail again this time?"

Master Maocun's face was pale and he had completely accepted his fate. He did not refute but just muttered to himself.

"I'm not as good as him. I lost because I was too arrogant. The people inside have higher attainments in formation than me. I'm not as good as them."

Wu Dao Zong and others were extremely surprised. Wasn't there only the leader of the Kun Sect inside? Could it be that this person also understood the formation?

"If he's taller than you, then doesn't that mean he's a master? Impossible!"

If it was a true formation master who could set up a fifth-order formation with combat power comparable to that of a Nascent Soul, then it would be truly unsolvable. The leader of the Kun Sect obviously had not reached that level.

But even Master Maocun can't break it, so this formation may be really difficult to deal with!
"Then what use is there for me to have you? You might as well just die!"

Xiong Shan was furious and wanted to kill Master Mao Cun on the spot.

"Wait a minute!"

Several people from the Wudao Sect quickly stopped them and rescued Master Maocun.

"Boss Xiong, calm down. We understand your anger, but formation masters are so rare. Since he is a guest we invited, how will the cultivation world view us if we kill him?"

The man on Bear Mountain couldn't help but roar:

"What should we do? After fighting all the way up the mountain and paying such a huge price, we can only stop at this last level and make no progress at all?"

"No."

The disciples of the Wudao Sect offered suggestions and advice.

"Since the leader of Kun Cult has been prepared for a long time, we can't do anything about it, so let's just ignore him for now."

"I just don't believe he can stay in there forever. He must get out."

"The portal to the Netherworld cannot be open all the time. It will eventually close."

"There are so many people on Jinyao Peak. Turn around and kill them all, leaving no one alive. Let him be alone!"

"See if he can still sit still!"
