Chapter 297 Witch God Cult

The Moon Palace is a patchwork of ruins.

The thick and humid fog was like ink, permeating every inch of space heavily, wrapping around the body in strands, bringing with it a decaying chill, penetrating into the body through the collar and cuffs, and stinging the skin.

In the past, strength alone could easily resist this creepy evil intent, but here, this evil intent seemed to be able to penetrate the protection of strength and reach deep into the bone marrow.

In the shadow of the broken wall, the stealthy Guan Ruoyu suddenly appeared.

She first looked at her fingertips which had turned slightly pale, and after the force swept over them, they turned red again.

He then used his magic to emit wisps of clear light in his eyes, sweeping in all directions, as if they could penetrate the thick fog and look into the distant distance.

After looking around, her eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly.

Originally, in order to avoid the strange things that made all kinds of noises inside, she concealed her own body and hid completely.

When the huge star beast passed by her and tracked the two people walking in front of it, she found that almost all the traces they left behind had been destroyed by the star beast, and only some remnants could be seen.

Relying on the remaining traces, she tracked forward for a distance, but now she had completely lost the other party's trace.

But she did not think the two men were dead.

First of all, there was no trace of a corpse or any trace of a remaining soul.

Furthermore, those two guys weren’t too weak. Even if they were not as strong as the star beasts, they wouldn’t be killed by them in such a short time. They probably hid somewhere else like she did.

But now we are unable to find out the other party's whereabouts, so the rest of the journey seems a little troublesome.

After all, there is no one ahead of you to explore and pave a safe path.

You have to rely on yourself for everything.

She looked around and, with the help of her spiritual eyes and breath perception, she detected some dangerous areas remaining in the ruins and barely marked out a few seemingly safe passages.

However, this seemingly safe passage is not absolutely safe. There may be traps that even she cannot detect.

Then Guan Ruoyu reached into her sleeve and took out a small white jade bottle.

After opening the jade bottle, she poured out three blue flame butterflies that looked as if they were burning. After feeding them a red bone crystal, the blue flame butterflies followed her instructions, flapped their wings and flew forward, leaving dark blue tail flames along the way.

Soon, the three blue flame butterflies used for exploration all died on the spot.

One of them was suddenly eaten by a cold toad that rushed out from the ground while flying. Another one suddenly became stiff during the flight and fell to the ground and turned into countless pieces. As for the third one, when it had moved forward about a hundred feet, a black light flashed on the ground, and it suddenly turned into powder and fell down.

Seeing this scene, Guan Ruoyu did not feel discouraged. Rather, this scene was just as she had expected.

Soon she took out three new blue flame butterflies.

In this way, she continued to test those seemingly safe paths, and finally paved an extremely safe path with the life of the Blue Flame Butterfly.

But that's about it.

After all, the number of blue flame butterflies is limited.

But the vastness of this ruin is simply maddening.

Why build such a huge palace?

Looking at the vast ruins that still stretched on, Guan Ruoyu felt tired.

She sorted herself out a little and took a step forward.

After walking forward for dozens of feet, she turned her hand and shot out two beams of powerful light backwards.

The light transformed from the silk force had just penetrated a broken wall and then suddenly exploded.

Zhu Youren and Sun Qingshuang, who were behind the wall, looked at Guan Ruoyu in front of them with surprise.

Seeing that the two of them were intact, Guan Ruoyu raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, and then asked in a rather solemn voice:

"You two have been following me for a long time. What are you doing?"

After hearing this, Sun Qingshuang couldn't help but raise his lips slightly, and said in surprise:

"The girl is wrong. The ruins of Shinra have been here for hundreds of years. There are at least eight hundred warriors who have attempted to explore it. We two brothers naturally want to explore it as well, so it makes sense that we would follow you. It's not possible that you can go this way but we can't, right?"

"Really? Then why don't you go ahead for a while?"

Guan Ruoyu stepped aside a few steps and spoke calmly.

In fact, when all the Blue Flame Butterflies were used up, she had already noticed the presence of Sun Qingshuang and the other person.

And she keenly noticed that the other party was the two people who had walked in front of her.

Unexpectedly, after turning around, I fell behind her and followed her to explore inside.

It’s a pity that she didn’t have the map of Yueyao Palace, and all the Blue Flame Butterflies were used up.

In fact, she herself didn't know what to do next.

So after her exploration just now, she deliberately chose a road with traps, and stepped over it with her keen perception, trying to kill Sun Qingshuang and the other person who were following behind.

However, the other party did not fall into the trap and actually stayed where he was.

At this point, she had no choice but to launch a sneak attack, ready to kill the two men and seize the map that might be in their hands.

However, unexpectedly, the move she just used was blocked by the opponent.

Although they were both at the level of Hua Jin, she didn't expect them to be quite powerful. They blocked her attempt without much effort.

As a result, she would have to make some adjustments to her future plans.

Hearing Guan Ruoyu's invitation, Sun Qingshuang waved his hands and smiled slightly:
"It just so happens that we just discovered that the path we're going to take next might be different from yours, so we won't be going together."

As he spoke, Sun Qingshuang took Zhu Youren and walked towards the ruins on the other side.

It was not until Guan Ruoyu disappeared from his sight that Zhu Youren asked Sun Qingshuang in surprise:

"Since that woman has been making her way in, her destination may very well coincide with ours. Why don't we kill her? She hasn't even entered the Hua Jin stage yet."

Sun Qingshuang shook his head slowly, his expression solemn:
"I can't see through her."

"Can't see through it?" Zhu Youren looked puzzled.

Sun Qingshuang said cautiously:

"Although she is at the peak of Silk Power, every time I want to attack her, I feel a vague sense of crisis, as if a disaster is about to happen. For this reason, I would rather take a more conservative approach. After all, there are dangers everywhere in this ruins, and she doesn't have a detailed map. If she walks around in there, she will get into trouble sooner or later. There is no need for us to do anything."

"I'm just afraid that woman will follow us in the opposite direction."

Zhu Youren looked at the vague figure behind him with a slightly ugly expression.

Seeing this, Sun Qingshuang also frowned slightly.

The other party even used the Blue Flame Butterfly to explore the way, so they must not have mastered the relevant map of the ruins.

Following them now is basically just trying to steal their maps, or even treating them as pathfinders.

Upon realizing this, Sun Qingshuang suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

At the moment, he could not help but snort coldly:
"Since she wants to rub it, let her rub it until she dies!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately said to Zhu Youren:

"let's go!"

The two of them immediately rushed forward, their speed almost ten times faster than before, and they were about to disappear in the thick fog in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Guan Ruoyu frowned slightly and immediately sped up to catch up.

Although she had followed the other person for a long distance before, the other party did not notice her as a stalker at that time, and did not take many cover actions along the way, and was purely moving forward.

But now, they have noticed that there is a follower behind them. If they don't catch up in time, they will definitely erase their whereabouts and make it difficult for the people behind them to catch up. And if they catch up in time, they will most likely step into the trap they deliberately set.

In comparison, Guan Ruoyu thought it would be better to follow.

As for the reason...

There was a "boom" explosion.

The huge beam that was lying on the side suddenly exploded.

The animal patterns that were originally painted on the beams and pillars like decorative paintings now all came alive.

Except for the broken animal shapes at the edges, they shattered immediately after they were formed.

There were three golden beasts in perfect shape on the field.

A lion, a tiger, and a dragon.

They all exude a terrifying aura comparable to that of the peak of Hua Jin.

There is no doubt that the existence of this giant beast created by the formation must be greatly limited.

In particular, many formations have become remnants, and their existence time will be greatly shortened on the original basis.

But no matter how much it is shortened, it is still the peak of the three-headed power.

Even if she could handle it, the two Hua Jin lurking in the dark would become a more troublesome problem.

"Then behead him first!"

The next moment, Guan Ruoyu suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Sun Qingshuang and Zhu Youren, who were hiding in the bushes on the side, frowned immediately.

Before the two of them could find Guan Ruoyu, the vague figure immediately appeared near them.

Even the huge golden beast with powerful momentum rushed towards this side.

Sun Qingshuang's face slightly changed, and he immediately prepared to activate the formation plate in his hand.

Originally, the formation on the beam was called "Seven Beasts Trapping and Killing Formation", which has the functions of both trapping and killing formations.

It can even be combined with several other nearby formations to form the "Hundred Beasts Killing Formation".

Under normal circumstances, even if several third-level warriors fell into it, they would be wiped out.

But at this point, not only have most of the beams and pillars engraved with array patterns been broken, but only two or three of them are still functional.

And the most crucial thing is that because the formation is incomplete, its siege effect is almost abolished. Now they can only watch Guan Ruoyu break out of the formation and come near them.

Fortunately, the three beasts in the formation were still under his control.

He activated the formation plate, and in an instant the three beasts quickly chased over here.

At the same time, Guan Ruoyu also acted decisively. The Dangshan Seal turned into a small mountain and came down towards the two men to kill them.

"Shadow God Technique!"

In an instant, Zhu Youren and Sun Qingshuang, who were originally standing not far in front of Guan Ruoyu, immediately turned into two black shadows and disappeared.

Guan Ruoyu raised his hand and reversed the Dangshan Seal, repelling the three-headed beast that was pursuing him on the spot.

After they regained their balance, she looked at the two people who appeared from behind the beasts and asked in surprise:

"Are you from Yindu Cult?"

Zhu Youren also had a solemn look on his face:
"Are you a high-ranking official of the Spiritual Plant Sect?"

"I can't say I'm a high-ranking official. I'm just a small pawn walking around."

Guan Ruoyu replied in a calm tone.

Sun Qingshuang looked at the slowly shrinking Dangshan Seal and said sarcastically:

"Ordinary pawns can't get the Dangshan Seal."

"It seems that you know a lot. You are indeed a branch of the Wushen Cult."

"There is no longer any Wushen Cult."

Sun Qing's eyes suddenly darkened.

"That's right. After all, the witch god died a long time ago, and died so miserably, leaving only remnants like you to survive in the corners."

Guan Ruoyu laughed.

Suddenly she seemed to remember something and continued:
"If I tell others about the location of your branch of the Wushen Cult, I'm sure many people will be interested, right?"

"That only works if you can get out!"

Sun Qingshuang and Zhu Youren looked murderous and had murderous intent.

Guan Ruoyu seemed unaware and smiled slightly:
"Can we get out or not?"

Sun Qingshuang waved her hand fiercely, and the three beasts lingering on the side immediately attacked her.

Guan Ruoyu did not delay and went straight to meet him with the Dangshan Seal in hand.

The formation beast is condensed by the power of the formation using special materials and the souls of dead monsters.

Its attacks are lethal on both the real and spiritual levels, making them very troublesome.

However, the Dangshan Seal in Guan Ruoyu's hand is one of the important weapons of the Lingzhi Sect, and it can also be used to deal with the beasts in the formation.

It's just that she didn't want to waste her energy on these things before.

But now that I have found out the origins of Sun Qingshuang and Zhu Youren, I am afraid I can no longer be as leisurely as before.

Just when Guan Ruoyu decided to end the battle quickly, a bright blue light suddenly broke through the sky and quickly bloomed in the field of vision.

Amid the loud roar, she only had time to expand the Dangshan Seal before she was smashed away along with the seal.

As for the three-headed beasts that were originally standing in the field, they all disappeared at this moment, turning into countless tiny golden lights that floated in all directions, making the scene look extremely dazzling.

Furthermore, in the dazzling golden light, a gigantic star beast formed purely from blue light raised its head and let out a silent roar.

The terrifying power instantly blew away countless pieces of rubble around it.

Some broken walls and wood on the ground collapsed with a loud bang.

“Star…Star Beast!!”

Sun Qingshuang's face was full of disbelief.

At this moment, the huge star beast seemed to be provoked, and immediately attacked Sun Qingshuang, Zhu Youren and Guan Ruoyu who were standing nearby. Its momentum was extremely violent, far more ferocious than when it dealt with Ning Yan and others before.

The three of them had to join forces to fight the enemy.

However, they had fought for less than ten breaths when there was a loud bang and the entire ground suddenly shattered.

The huge hole that suddenly appeared in the ground not only caused the three people to fall into it, but even the huge star beast seemed to have lost its support and pressed them down into it until it became bottomless.

After a moment, a translucent figure slowly emerged from the vicinity of the cave.

He lowered his head and looked at the cave where dark fog was swirling. After a long while, he left and continued to move inside.

On the stone slab where he had originally stood, there was a black mark like something burned by smoke or fire.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Ning Yan and his four companions emerged from the fog exhausted...
