"City Master, it's his subordinates who are incompetent and failed to protect the disciples of Tianji City, causing them to suffer heavy casualties." Elder Mo Wang took the initiative to take the blame and said.
"I can't blame you entirely, it's because I didn't think carefully, and I came too late. By the way, what about Elder Mei and Shen Luo?" The little master shook his head and asked instead.
"Before we acted separately, now we are separated, and their situation may not be much better than ours." Elder Mo Wang couldn't help sighing when he heard the words.
"The loss is so heavy this time, no matter what, we must achieve our goal. We continue to explore inwardly, and sooner or later we will join Elder Mei and the others." The little master said immediately without hesitation.
"Yes."
With the city lord as the backbone, Elder Mo Wang and his party had no worries, and responded immediately.
……
In the depths of the Black Abyss Mystery Cave, in the dark space, the blood-colored skeleton was playing with the yellow jade slip with one hand while listening to his subordinates' reports.
"My lord, many of the outsiders this time are from Tianji City, and there are many strong people among them. The Yin beasts can't resist, and they have already retreated steadily. Even the two corpses of Lord Guiyan The king was also defeated and fled back seriously injured." The person who reported said cautiously.
"Guiyan has always spoken beautifully, and his Disha Corpse King doesn't seem to be very useful." The bloody skeleton shook his head, feeling a little contemptuous.
"In addition, those guys are moving extremely fast, and someone has already crossed the weak water." The person who reported continued.
Hearing these words, the Scarlet Skull visibly froze when playing with the jade slips, and stopped.
"What did you say? Someone has already crossed the weak water?" His voice raised a lot.
"Back to the king... no, that's right..." the person who told the report knelt down in horror and said tremblingly.
"If you look at it this way, it must be the work of those guys, otherwise it would be impossible for these outsiders to cross the Weak Water so quickly in such a short period of time." The Scarlet Skull pondered.
After a while, he shouted an order: "Go, bring back all the Yin Beasts, just guard those magic circles, and leave the rest alone."
"Yes."
The person who listened to the order immediately responded and retreated with the order.
"My lord, you... haven't already made an agreement with Gui Yan that he will hand over the "Heavenly Corpse Scripture" to you, and we will block those monks from Tianji City for him, why..." Beside him, a real The yin beast in the immortal period hesitated.
"The agreement with Gui Yan is nothing more than a verbal promise, and Gui Yan himself knows that I will not abide by it. It has been considered as benevolent to have blocked him for so long, so I can't really take my money to gamble with him, right? What's more... let him fight with the cultivators of Tianji City upside down, you can live and die, who doesn't want the profit of a fisherman?" The bloody skeleton said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise..." The True Immortal Yin Beast immediately complimented him upon hearing this.
"Don't relax, keep an eye on the dynamics of both of them, and report at any time." Scarlet Skull urged.
"Yes."
Chapter 1279 The Second Stone Tablet
At the same time, Shen Luo and Yan Wushi were flying in a certain direction.
Suddenly, Yan Wushi yelled to stop Shen Luo, and led him down into a dark ravine below.
"What a pure yin evil spirit!"
Before the two of them reached the ground, they could feel the strong Yin Qi below them, and gusts of Yin wind came from the ground towards the mid-air, like a fountain.
After they landed, the two of them looked into the gully, only to find that there were two plants about a foot tall growing in it.
This plant has leaves but no flowers, the leaves are slightly wider, the edges are jagged, and the surface exudes a faint blue crystal light, which looks like it is carved out of ice crystals.
"Ghost cut grass... I didn't expect such a thing to exist here?" Yan Wushi was a little surprised when he saw this.
Shen Luo didn't answer, but carefully counted the leaves of each ghost-cut grass, and found that the two sides were exactly the same, and there were ten pieces in pairs.
"Not only ghost cut grass, but also the very rare ten-leaf ghost cut grass, which is a Yin-type spiritual grass that occurs once in a thousand years. Some tonic pills at the level of true immortals need to use this thing as an important companion. Only materials can be made into medicine." Yan Wushi said happily.
"I didn't realize that your Excellency is not only proficient in refining weapons, but also in refining medicine?" Shen Luo said in surprise.
"I can't talk about proficiency, I can only say that I have a rough knowledge. In fact, refining equipment and refining medicine have a lot in common. This... This is going too far. Fellow Daoist Shen, the quality of these two ten-leaf ghost-cut grasses is not good at all. The difference, how about you and I digging away one by one?" Yan Wushi stopped talking and suggested.
Shen Luo naturally had no opinion on this.
The two immediately dug out the spirit grass, put them away in jade boxes, left here, and continued on their way.
After an unknown amount of time, the evil spirit in the void in front of him suddenly became thicker, and there was a muffled sound of thunder in the void.
When Shen Luo was curious about the situation, he saw a palace-like building standing on the ground hundreds of meters ahead, and the thunderous sound came from the palace.
It is said that it is a palace, but it is actually dilapidated. Both the front hall and the back hall have been completely ruined, leaving only a section of broken wall standing. It has also been blown away, and it looks like an iron barrel surrounded by stones.
The two of them got a little closer, and saw that outside the palace, there were dozens of Yin beasts surrounding them, roaring towards the hall.
On those high and low broken walls, there were still many half-bat yin beasts standing, one of them seemed to sense the approach of the two of them, and suddenly turned to look at them.
Shen Luo and the two had already concealed their breath and came to the other side of the palace.
The wall facing the side of the palace was even more damaged, and more than half of the entire wall had collapsed. Shen Luo could see the scene inside at a glance from the gap, and his expression suddenly froze.
In the main hall, a tall figure in a black robe was urging a golden and brass bell-shaped magic weapon to make it spin rapidly in the void.
The whole body of the bronze bell is full of golden light, with rich golden light rippling on the surface, reflecting hundreds of golden runes in the void, like sutra pillars floating in the palace, connecting each other to form a large array of golden runes.
Even though Shen Luo was far away, he could hear thousands of monks whispering in the talisman array, chanting Buddhist scriptures.
And in the center of the golden talisman formation, stood a young warrior wearing a golden armor, with a golden wheel of precious light floating behind his back. Embedded with a piece of crimson crystal, it looks majestic and extraordinary.
If Shen Luo hadn't seen this kind of existence long ago, he might have mistaken him for a general of the immortal family at this moment.
"Asura puppet ghost, there is such a thing here..." Yan Wushi beside him also saw the clue, and couldn't help but whispered.
"It's not just an ordinary Shura puppet ghost. This guy's cultivation is probably at the middle stage of a true immortal." Shen Luo pondered.
He noticed that the forehead and cheeks of this Shura puppet ghost also had tattoos, but they were not the black and blue ones he saw back then, but dark red. Although his eyes were also glowing red, but Fierce and restrained, without the slightest hint of sinister evil, it is obviously very different from what Shen Luo encountered many years ago.
"That man in black doesn't seem to be a good person. You can see that although the magic weapon he activated has a Buddhist scripture-like magic circle, it is full of killing and suppression, and there is no mercy at all, and his cultivation seems to be better than that of Shura puppet. Ghosts are even better." Yan Wushi said.
Although Shen Luo heard it in his ears, he didn't pay attention to it at all. His attention was all focused on a corner of the palace at the moment, where stood a half-person-high black stone tablet, the surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the dark of gloss.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, can I trouble you to support me here? I have something to verify." Shen Luo said.
"Brother Shen, these two guys are not easy to mess with. There are so many evil beasts around, we'd better do one thing less than one thing more. Don't join in the fun." Yan Wushi saw it from Shen Luo's eyes. With a hint of greed, he frowned and dissuaded.
When Shen Luo thought of the magic of the stele, he would not listen.
"It's okay, I will restrain all my aura and hide from the ground. I won't disturb them. Brother Yan, you just need to respond a little bit, and there will be no problem. If we are discovered, we will turn around and run away." For the sake of fighting with each other, they will not let go of each other and come to chase and kill us." Shen Luo said with a smile.
Hearing the words, Yan Wushi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, after all, he still needs Shen Luo to be with him for the next journey.
"Brother Yan, wait a moment, I'll go back when I go." Shen Luo smiled, and had already used the method of escaping from the ground, and his figure shrank into the ground in an instant.
Yan Wushi looked at the palace again.
The black-robed man fought fiercely with the Shura puppet ghost. The latter was holding a pitch-black pestle, which seemed to be carved from black jade. The head of the pestle was engraved with a secret spell. Layers of violent ripples were stirred up, breaking up the golden runes that were constantly gathering and approaching.
However, the man in black didn't seem to be in a hurry, he just controlled the golden bell leisurely, causing the golden ripples on it to overlap layer by layer, continuously compressing the Shura puppet ghost with the golden talisman array.
On the other side, while Shen Luo was escaping into the ground, he had activated Ruanyan Luo Jinyi's supernatural powers, covered his breath, and moved quickly to the corner of the palace.
As soon as he got closer, Shen Luo immediately felt the abnormality of the devilish energy in his body.
He was overjoyed, and quickly came to the bottom of the black stele, stretched out his hand and grasped the bottom of the stele buried under it, and quickly moved the devilish energy in his body towards the stele.
Sure enough, like the side of the stele he met for the first time, it quickly absorbed the Chi You devilish energy in his body.
Not long after, the magic energy absorbed by this stone tablet reached its peak and stopped.
Shen Luo knew that the time had come, so he clasped his hands immediately, firmly stuck the stone tablet and yanked it downward.
"Boom" with a muffled sound.
The black stone tablet sank suddenly, and fell into the ground along with the collapsed earth and rocks.
Chapter 1280
During the battle, the black-robed man and the Shura puppet ghost all noticed the movement caused by Shen Luo's place, they slapped each other suddenly, knocked each other back, and all swooped towards Shen Luo's side.
Yan Wushi's eyelids trembled when he saw it, and he couldn't help cursing inwardly, didn't you just go back as soon as you said, just check it out?
This is not a secret investigation, it is clearly intended to provoke people!
However, complaints are nothing but complaints, and it is impossible for him to continue to stand by at this moment. He will show up immediately and go to help.
Seeing this, the Yin Beasts around rushed towards him one after another, blocking him halfway.
Shen Luo was on the ground, regardless of the chaos above the ground, he was quickly browsing the words that emerged on the stone tablet, and found that it was a magic power called "Flame Explosion Jue", which can summon magic fire to attack , the power is not weak.
However, this supernatural power is the same as the stone-cracking step, which has limited meaning to Shen Luo, so he just jotted it down and didn't pay attention to it.
In contrast, what he cares more about is whether this stele will turn into a treasure like the black short stick like the previous stele.
While thinking about it, there was a roar above his head.
The entire remnant palace and the ground were uprooted by a big void hand, thrown high into the air, and fell towards the distance.
A huge hole was opened on the ground, and the surrounding area of the sinking was like a cauldron that had been uncovered, completely exposed.
Shen Luo just raised his head for a quick glance, then immediately looked away.
In front of him, the black stone tablet had already turned into black fly ash and dissipated with a "chi" sound.
And almost at the same time, a black and yellow delicate short ruler fell out of it.
Its length is about the same as that of the short black stick, and there are scales carved out of short golden lines on it, exuding bursts of strong spiritual power fluctuations.
Anyone can see that this is a treasure!
Shen Luo immediately bent down and reached out to pick up the short ruler. He planned to run away immediately after getting it.
But at the moment when his fingers were about to touch the short ruler, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly came from in front of him.
Shen Luo looked up, and saw a palm-sized black bell hanging above everyone's heads, ringing "Dang Dang".
The voice was not loud, but when it was played, it seemed to have some kind of magical power, which could directly resound through the human body through the sea of consciousness.
In an instant, Shen Luo felt his mind shake violently, a huge wave rose up in the sea of consciousness, and the villain couldn't stand up at all, and swayed wildly with the waves.
Immediately, his eyes seemed to be illuminated by bright candlelight, and circles of dazzling halos lit up.
Shen Luo knew something was wrong, and immediately activated the Bu Zhou Suppressing Divine Technique, trying to stabilize the sea of consciousness.
It's a pity that the giant wave of the Sea of Consciousness just paused for a while, and then violently surged again, making Shen Luo tremble all over, unable to control his body at all, to reach the short black and yellow feet on the ground that was close at hand.
In fact, not only him, but everything around him was controlled by the soul-stirring bell at this moment.
Shen Luo couldn't move, Shura's puppet ghost couldn't move, and Yan Wushi who was about to release Yanjia couldn't move either, and the large pieces of Yin Beasts had their heads exploded and were slowly disintegrating.
But a black figure walked slowly in front of Shen Luo unaffected, bent over and looked at him, and put the short black and yellow ruler into his pocket from his eyes.
At this moment, Shen Luo finally knew that he had been fooled by the man in black.
The other party obviously found out that he and Yan Wushi had sneaked over, but he was fighting with Shura puppet ghosts and had no time to untie the seal of the stele and take out the short ruler inside, so he used Shen Luo to help him get the treasure.
Although Shen Luo was annoyed, he immediately thought that the time for the black bell to deter the soul might be limited, at least not enough for the man in black to unseal the black stone tablet.
Then, when he resumed his actions, as long as he entangled the black-robed man immediately, he would still have a chance to regain the short ruler.
With this thought in Shen Luo's mind, he had already begun to try to use mana and accumulate strength.
However, the turbulent influence of the soul is too strong, his mind can still function, and it is very difficult to keep thinking, but he can't do it at all if he wants to use mana.
"Haha, thank you for your help." The man in black laughed loudly and raised his hand.
The golden bell and black bell hanging in the air immediately flew backwards and fell into his hands.
It was also at this moment that everyone resumed their actions.
As soon as the moon shadow under Shen Luo's body dispersed, the oblique moon step had already stepped out, and in an instant, he came to the man in black robe, and grabbed him.
When the man in black saw this, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
He was really surprised, he didn't expect Shen Luo to attack him so quickly the moment he got away.
It's just that the influence of the soul shock is still there, the black-robed man just shifted his body a little, and easily avoided the sinking palm.
Then, with a smile in his eyes, he held a black and yellow short ruler and shook it towards Shen Luo.
There was a yellow light flashing on the short ruler, and the surrounding space suddenly twisted. Before the sinking came again, the twisted space formed a translucent vortex, which swallowed the man in black and disappeared.
Shen Luo hurriedly chased after him, but he just threw himself into the empty space and failed to catch anything.
"Hey, I ran away for him..." With the help of Buzhou Town's magical method, Shen Luo finally stabilized his sea of consciousness, and couldn't help feeling annoyed when he saw the space fluctuations scattered in the void.
"Roar……"
At this time, a loud beast roar brought him back from his thoughts.
