Chapter 371: The Guardian Cult

He raised his head, his eyes met Xu Tianran's, and he confirmed: "Is the list based on the one your Majesty gave me last time?"

Xu Tianran nodded in affirmation.

The mysterious national master put away the list, bowed slightly to Xu Tianran, and said in a respectful tone: "Then I will congratulate your majesty on his enthronement in advance."

Xu Tianran took a deep breath and tried to suppress the excitement in his heart. He took a step forward, raised his hands in a gesture of invitation, and said in a sincere tone: "National Master, please sit down."

He personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for the mysterious Imperial Master, and the fragrance of tea lingered between the two of them.

"The day when our Sun-Moon Empire unified the continent..." Xu Tianran paused, stared at the mysterious national master with stern eyes, and said word by word: "The Holy Spirit Sect is the Protectorate Sect of our Sun-Moon Empire. ”

He bowed slightly to show respect, "When the time comes, the leader will be the protector of our Sun and Moon Empire. All people will respect you and open the throne for you!" After Xu Tianran finished speaking, he quietly waited for the mysterious kingdom. Teacher's response.

The mysterious master took the tea cup and took a sip. His expression was calm and he seemed not to be moved by Xu Tianran's promise.

He slowly put down the tea cup and said calmly: "This is all for later, let's do it step by step." He nodded slightly to Xu Tianran, then turned around and walked towards the door.

When he reached the door, he paused, as if he thought of something, and then slowly turned around, his eyes falling on Xu Tianran.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "By the way, Your Majesty, what should we do with Shrek and the people from the Noumenon Sect? They have all escaped..." He frowned slightly, seeming a little worried.

Xu Tianran pondered for a moment and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.

"I'm thinking about this." He raised his head and his eyes met the mysterious national master's, "What do the national masters think of introducing them to Xishan?"

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the mysterious national master, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise! That place once trapped my grandfather for a hundred years! My grandfather's cultivation level was just as good as Long Bo's, and in the end he I just brought out some superficial knowledge from that mysterious place.

There is simply no way humans can fight against it! He paused and continued: "Once you step into it, if you are not careful, you will be imprisoned for at least ten years until death."

Once the formation is activated, even Titled Douluo cannot fly and must go through many tests before it is possible to get out. "

He took a deep breath, with a hint of awe in his tone, "My grandfather made three wrong choices and was trapped for a hundred years."

He stared at Xu Tianran with burning eyes, "Didn't we try it before? Of those who were thrown in, less than one out of ten could come out alive.

I have already ordered Xiaofeng to go around Xishan and lead my four elders to guard the exit. Even if you are lucky enough to come out, you will be killed. "

"Okay!" Xu Tianran's eyes flashed with fierceness. He nodded vigorously and said firmly: "We all rely on the national master!"

The mysterious national master bowed slightly and said calmly: "I will do my best."

He paused and then added: "If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. The national war cannot be successful with just a few people..." He turned around again, this time without looking back, and his figure gradually disappeared outside the door.

…

At the foot of the rolling Western Mountains, a slightly desolate open space became a temporary resting place.

Han Yu and his group, including core members such as Du Bushit and Lang Ya, met here.

Everyone sat on the ground, taking a short rest and recovering their strength.

Du Bushu was the first to break the silence. He smiled heartily and said in a loud voice, "Han Yu, your harvest this time is quite big. You almost emptied the Sun Moon Empire's treasure house, hahaha!"

As he spoke, he lightly touched Han Yu with his elbow, his eyes filled with admiration.

Lang Ya also laughed and echoed: "Young Master is so resourceful and clever!

After this trip, our sect has become the richest, becoming the richest sect on the mainland! "As he spoke, he made an exaggerated shape of a money bag with his hand.

After a brief period of joy, Lang Ya suddenly remembered something. He asked doubtfully: "However, I don't understand why we have to go around the Western Mountain to return to the sect? Isn't it closer to go directly through the Western Mountain?"

Hearing Lang Ya's question, a faint smile appeared on Han Yu's face, but an imperceptible fear flashed deep in his eyes.

He knew very well that Xishan was Tang San's sphere of influence. Although he was quite powerful, there was still a huge gap compared to Tang San.

It was obviously not wise to go head-on. He had to come up with a reasonable explanation to convince everyone.

Han Yu pondered for a moment and then said: "Teacher, Senior Lang Ya, I have an ominous premonition that there seems to be some kind of danger hidden in the Western Mountain. If we enter rashly, we may encounter unpredictable risks."

His tone was full of worry, as if he really sensed some danger.

Du Buushi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a shrewdness flashed through his deep gaze. He seemed to have thought of something, "You mean, maybe the Sun and Moon Empire has set up an ambush in the Western Mountains, just waiting for us to fall into the trap?"

Han Yu nodded slightly, secretly praising Du Bushu's keenness and insight. This reason was both reasonable and convincing.

“It’s very possible, although I’m not entirely sure, but if that’s the case, the consequences would be disastrous.

You must know that the Sun and Moon Empire also has extreme Douluo level experts stationed there. If we are ambushed, the sect disciples may not be able to escape unscathed. "

Han Yu continued to add, "Although the route around Xishan is a little longer, it is safer. For everyone's safety, I think the detour is a wiser choice."

Du Bushu nodded slightly and agreed, "It makes sense. Although I am not afraid of challenges, the safety of my disciples is the most important thing.

Langya, just listen to Han Yu, let’s go around the Western Mountain and return to the Tianhun Empire. "

Lang Ya respectfully clasped his fists and accepted the order, "I obey, Sect Master!"

"Take a rest and leave immediately"

Everyone sat on the ground, took a short rest, and recovered some strength.

After a while, they stood up and continued moving in the direction of the Tianhun Empire.

The sun casts mottled light spots through the gaps in the leaves, and the breeze blows, bringing a touch of coolness.

The chirping of birds echoed in the forest, and everything seemed calm and peaceful.

They stepped on the fallen leaves, their steps were light, and their mood gradually relaxed.

"Look what that is?" Yuan Gungun's slightly surprised voice broke the silence of the moment, his tone was full of doubts and a hint of uneasiness. He pointed to the sky, his voice trembling.

Hearing the sound, Han Yu raised his head and cast his gaze towards the sky. His expression suddenly changed, and a look of astonishment spread across his face.

I saw that the originally clear sky had been shrouded in a thick layer of fog at some point. The thick fog filled the sky and blocked the sun, as if a huge gray curtain shrouded the entire world.

Only in the area below five meters from the ground, the fog is slightly thinner, and things can barely be seen.

What's even more disturbing is that the fog in the sky is not a single gray, but shows a strange color change, sometimes glowing with a light purple, sometimes revealing a cold green, as if it hides some unknown danger. .

Han Yu secretly thought to himself: "Did we actually not go around Xishan?" This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, making him feel uneasy. Xishan, that place full of mystery and danger, was what he had always wanted to avoid.

He originally thought he had successfully bypassed Xishan, but he didn't expect to end up here.

According to his plan, he tried to avoid this place. After all, Xishan was extremely dangerous and full of unknown dangers. But now, they seem to be stuck in it and unable to escape.

The weirdness of this place exceeded his imagination. Even he felt helpless and could only take one step at a time.

"You all come here..." Poison's voice came from not far away, with a low tone and a hint of solemnity.

Hearing Du BuSai's call, Han Yu, Qiu'er and the others did not dare to neglect, and quickly quickened their pace and walked in the direction of Du BuSai. They passed through the dense woods, pushing aside the thorns that blocked the road, and moved quickly.

When they arrived at the poisonous place, they found that everyone else had already gathered here. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces, and the atmosphere seemed particularly depressing.

Du Buushi's face was even more terrifyingly gloomy, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Han Yu subconsciously released his mental detection, wanting to explore the surrounding situation. However, the next moment, his face was full of shock.

He found that his mental detection was extremely limited, and the detection range was only less than ten meters in diameter.

No matter how far away it is, the mental power disappears without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea, and nothing can be detected.

He even felt a strange force swallowing up his mental power, making him feel dizzy.

how so? Han Yu's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. His mental detection could not see as far as his eyes. This was the first time he had encountered this situation.

Even in the miasmatic environment of Sunset Forest, his mental detection was not so restricted.

Du Buushi turned his gaze to Han Yu and said in a deep voice: "You can feel it too. Our perception has been greatly weakened.

The fog above our heads is like a huge cage, trapping us here. If we can't find a way out from the ground, then we're really in dire straits. "

Qiu'er frowned, with a trace of worry in her eyes, and asked softly: "Senior can't even fly because of the poison? Are we really trapped here?"

Du Buushi sighed heavily and shook his head slowly, his tone full of helplessness: "I've tried, but there's really nothing I can do.

Once I try to fly, I feel a strong pressure falling from the sky, as if the entire sky is repelling us and forcing me back. He paused, recalling the scene at that time, his face became more solemn, "The pressure was far beyond my imagination, and it simply exceeded the limit that human beings can resist."

Even an extreme Douluo like Long Xiaoyao might not be able to break through this layer of restraint. "

Hearing this, everyone present felt suffocated and couldn't help but take a deep breath. A feeling of despair began to spread in everyone's hearts.

Lang Ya frowned, paced back and forth, and said anxiously: "There is indeed a problem here! But why didn't we find anything when we investigated before?" He looked at Du Bushai, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.

He and Du Bushui personally flew to Xishan Mountain and spent a whole day carefully surveying the entire mountain, but found nothing unusual.

But now, this sudden change has trapped all of them in this strange place. Lang Ya and Du Bu Si were full of self-blame. They should have discovered the problem in advance and protected these young disciples.

Du Bu Si took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and said in a deep voice: "This place seems to be shrouded by a mysterious and powerful force, and even the earth has become unusual."

He recalled his experience of trying to break through, "I tried to control the soil, dig down, and try to break through this layer of confinement, but in the end I returned in vain. We are like being imprisoned in an unbreakable cage and cannot escape."

As an extreme Douluo, Du Bu Si has a body martial soul and extremely strong perception ability. His judgment is rarely wrong.

Even Han Yu had to admit Du Bu Si's judgment.

Du Bu Si looked around, looking at the young and hopeful faces, his heart was full of anxiety and worry. He knew that he had to stay calm to lead everyone to find a way out.

He suppressed his uneasiness and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Everyone, please share your ideas. We can pool our wisdom and perhaps find a solution."

He paused and added: "Don't panic. We will definitely find a way out."

Although he was full of depression and regret, he remained calm on the surface. He knew that he must not panic at this time, otherwise these young disciples would be even more panicked.

"Master," Long Aotian said, "How about we all disperse and explore? Divide into several groups and carefully search the surrounding environment. This may not be a Jedi. It may just be a maze. As long as we find the exit, we can get out."

Long Aotian was about to suggest that everyone act separately to improve the search efficiency, when Yuan Gungun's deep voice rang out: "No! In this case, we must not separate!" His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Long Aotian frowned slightly and was about to speak when he heard Yuan Gungun continue: "Assuming your idea is right, this is indeed a maze, but this maze was left to us by the Sun Moon Empire.

What if the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church are also in it? Once they are scattered, it will only bring us a catastrophe and they will defeat us one by one!"

Yuan Gungun's voice echoed in this empty valley with a hint of anxiety. (End of this chapter)
