Chapter 343: Falling into a trap

The cave is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. Although it is dark, it is not damp. There is also a lot of freshly dug soil around it.

At first glance, this hole seems to have been opened recently.

However, Ye Chunyang felt suspicious while walking inside. The moss, spider webs and other things he saw at the entrance of the cave told him that everything was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There must be something weird here.

However, the situation was unclear at this time, and he could not tell everyone.

Thinking about it in his mind, he released his spiritual consciousness to sense the movement around him, and at the same time quietly laid out a few formation flags with his spiritual power.

Leader Yun Yue was in front, with a hint of vigilance on his face. As the leader, he needed to protect the safety of all the disciples. Although Elder Tianfang provided information on this trip, he still had to be careful in everything.

Everyone followed silently, each holding up a magic weapon to illuminate the cave.

At this moment, Yun Yue suddenly paused, stared straight ahead and shouted softly: "Who's in front of you?"

The expressions of the disciples at each peak also changed drastically, and some people with stronger spiritual awareness also noticed something strange in front of them.

After Yun Yue finished speaking, a figure appeared in the darkness in front of him. He was a monk with a thin face and a yin-yang beard. He looked at the group of people with a smile, seemingly without any malice.

Yin Yang Beard bowed to everyone and said with a half-smile: "I am Qian Moyun, the elder of Jingqiong Mountain. I am waiting here for all the fellow Taoists of Tianqi Sect on the order of the leader."

The disciples of each peak breathed a sigh of relief. They could naturally detect the cultivation level of Yin Yang Beard at the magic stage. If it was a demonic cultivation, it might be difficult to deal with it.

Yun Yue's vigilant expression also relaxed. He stepped forward, looked at this person, and said, "It turns out to be Elder Qian of Jingqiong Mountain. It seems that you have received the news that I sent Elder Tianfang."

"Exactly, I have received news from the elders of your sect three days ago. I learned that the devil will attack me, Jing Qiongshan. We were all frightened, so the master ordered me to welcome you again. I think your Excellency is Yun. Fellow Taoist? Jing Qiongshan needs to rely more on your magical powers this time."

Yin Yang Beard smiled kindly, but it was not difficult to see the anxious look in his eyes.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I am Yunyue. Wu Tianmen intends to annex various factions. As the leader of the Northern Meridian, our Tianqi Sect cannot stand idly by. You, Jing Qiongshan, and our faction both belong to the Taiyi Alliance. Our faction has its own Please protect me."

Yun Yue looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said: "Just now, we followed along and found that the evil cultivator had arrived earlier. I wonder what the situation is now?"

"To be honest, fellow Taoist Yun, the Shadow Demonic Way is coming with great force, and it seems to know my sect very well. Now it has broken through our sect's protective formation, and the disciples have suffered heavy casualties. I hope your sect will lend a helping hand to me, Jing Qiongshan, if I can escape." After this calamity, our sect will definitely take Tianqi Sect’s lead as our leader,” Yin Yang Huzi said anxiously.

"How can the magic move so fast?"

Everyone, including Yunyue, was shocked.

After pondering for a while, Yun Yue said: "I think Elder Tianfang of my faction has informed you of the detailed plan for this trip. I wonder if your faction is ready?"

Yin Yang Beard heard the words and said quickly: "Yes, we dare not forget it. Since getting the news, our faction has secretly cooperated with Elder Tianfang's plan. Now everything has been arranged, and it's just waiting for you all to work together to repel the devil."

"very good."

Yun Yue nodded.

"But you are wrong about one thing. This time we are not trying to repel the demons, but we are trying to bury them here."

After saying that, he raised his hand and said very confidently: "Let's lead the way, I want to see what these shadow demon cultivators are capable of."

Yin Yang Beard was overjoyed and quickly bowed to lead the way: "This secret passage leads directly to our sect's main hall. Please follow me."

After that, he turned on several moonlight lamps, illuminated the cave clearly, and walked forward quickly.

Without saying a word, Yun Yue led his disciples from all peaks to follow.

Ye Chunyang walked behind, staring closely at the Yin Yang Beard, his face even more suspicious.

For some reason, he always had a bad feeling, always feeling that something was slightly wrong.

But looking back on it, there was nothing unusual along the way, and he couldn't tell what went wrong.

Moreover, the plan laid out by Elder Tianfang seems to be seamless, so there should be no mistakes.

Ye Chunyang hesitated in his heart, but secretly did not stop setting up the formation flags. Although this plan was complete, he was always cautious and had to leave a backup plan to prevent any accidents from happening.

Not long after following the Yin-Yang Beard, a glimmer of light appeared in front of his eyes. The Yin-Yang Beard pressed a mechanism, and after a low rumble, a stone door opened in front of him.

Walking out of here, a spacious main hall comes into view, with an eye-catching word "Tao" engraved in the center.

But the strange thing is that this hall is empty.

Moreover, there were no sounds of fighting or fighting around, which was completely unlike the scene of a demonic invasion.

Yun Yue frowned and said with a look of surprise: "Elder Qian, where is the leader of your sect?"

The disciples from each peak also looked to the side with doubtful expressions on their faces.

But then, they were shocked to find that the Yin Yang Beard had disappeared without knowing it.

"Where are the people?"

Yun Yue's expression changed suddenly, and he continued to sense his surroundings with his spiritual consciousness, trying to find traces of this person.

However, the yin and yang beard seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace.

Everyone was shocked for a moment, their eyes became piercing, and they took out their magic weapons and stared at the surroundings vigilantly.

Ye Chunyang's pupils shrank, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

At this moment, several roars suddenly sounded in the ears, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed. What was originally a main hall suddenly turned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

The expressions of the people changed. They saw that the flags had been erected around them at some point. Countless circles of light covered them from the sky with lightning speed, trying to press them into the sea of ​​fire.

There were forbidden methods above and fierce flames below. Everyone was suspended in the air for a while, and their spiritual power was quickly consumed.

"No, we have been tricked! Retreat!"

Yun Yue's expression changed drastically. When he reminded everyone, a small white flag in his hand trembled without wind.

This time, the wind blew and it became a hundred feet wide in a blink of an eye. Yun Yue didn't think about it and sprayed a breath of spiritual energy towards the flag. I saw bursts of dazzling spiritual light like stars jumping out, forming a vast star map and rolling towards the surrounding forbidden formation.

The disciples of each peak also reacted quickly. In an instant, they had already used various means, whether flying swords or spells, to bombard the forbidden method.

The originally quiet main hall suddenly became intense.

However, this magic formation came suddenly, and everyone was unprepared. They lost the opportunity before they could react. Several disciples in the middle stage of foundation building were covered by the light circle and were immediately sealed inside, unable to exert their spiritual power.

Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes and saw Qianying was about to be covered by the forbidden magic. He immediately flashed forward, put his two fingers together and sacrificed the golden mace, and then a ball of three-flavor true fire condensed in his palm and waved it towards the forbidden magic.

With a few "puff" sounds, the golden mace circled for a while and blocked the forbidden magic light shield in front of Qianying.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Chunyang pinched his hands and grabbed Qianying out of danger in an instant.

"Senior brother saved Qianying's life again." After escaping from death, Qianying's face was still in shock, but when she saw the thin and majestic figure beside her, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

"You don't have to be so polite between you and me." Ye Chunyang waved his hand, staring around, his face gradually gloomy.

At this time, the disciples of each peak were struggling to resist the forbidden magic, but this formation seemed to have the effect of sealing spiritual power. Even Yun Yue, who was in the magic power stage, could not exert his power. He showed signs of fatigue in less than half a moment. Some disciples in the late stage of foundation building were also sealed.

"Brother Ye, the situation is not good. We are afraid that we have fallen into someone else's trap."

Mu Linger avoided a forbidden magic beam and quickly rushed to Ye Chunyang.

Li Mochen and Ling Xue also looked solemn. They did not dare to deal with it alone and gathered together.

"Everyone be careful, this is an ancient spiritual formation, the formation of annihilation of spirits!"

Ye Chunyang's eyes condensed, and after a careful observation, he suddenly remembered the relevant information he had seen in an ancient book of formations.

"The formation of annihilation of spirits? Is it the evil formation of the magic way that is said to be able to erode the spiritual power of cultivators?"

Li Mochen's face changed in shock, as if he had heard of the name of this formation.

"Yes, everyone must be careful. Once the light of this formation approaches, the spiritual power will be sealed by it."

Ye Chunyang's expression was gloomy. The Annihilation Array was already a spiritual array. Even with his current cultivation, he could not set it up. It seemed that the person who set up the array was not an ordinary person.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes. With one hand, he controlled the golden mace to block the spiritual light from the Annihilation Array, and with the other hand, he pinched the seal to cast a spell to set up protection for everyone.

Elder Yin was very ugly. His giant starlight banner was gradually showing signs of fatigue under the double attack of the forbidden spell and the firelight, and it was about to be sealed.

However, since he was accepted as the last disciple by Elder Yin, he was not comparable to ordinary disciples. Seeing that the giant banner was about to be swallowed, he cast a spell to recall the giant banner, and then stepped on it with both feet, using the banner as a force point, and jumped out of the forbidden array, exchanging the loss of a magic weapon for a chance to escape.

However, disciples in the late stage of foundation building in various peaks, such as Fairy Yumei, were not as lucky as Yun Yue. As the forbidden method became stronger, they were directly caught by the spiritual light and sealed in the sea of ​​fire.

For a time, Yun Yue was the only one who escaped from all the Tianqimen disciples except Ye Chunyang and the other four.

"Who plotted against us? Get out now!"

Yun Yue was shocked and angry, and he looked around and shouted.

At this moment, a long laugh suddenly came from the dark sky.

After several consecutive explosions of spiritual energy, flames suddenly appeared around, and the entire Jingqiong Mountain instantly became brightly lit. Dozens of figures appeared one after another, and Yin Yang Beard was among them.

Next to him, Tianqiong Shangren, who was wearing a gold-sprinkled coat, stood indifferently.

Yun Yue's face suddenly changed, because in addition to the masters of Jingqiong Mountain, there were also many demon monks present. Judging from their clothes and luggage, they were the shadows who attacked here before.

But at this time, both sides were safe and sound, and Master Tianqiong seemed to be in awe of the demon cultivators.

His face darkened. How could he not understand what happened at this point?

Ye Chunyang's face also felt cold, but when he looked around, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing a bit of surprise.

The leader of the shadows was the old demon in red clothes who had a feud not long ago.

His pupils shrank slightly, but after taking a look at the demon, he turned to the other person next to him, who was the insider who offered them advice, the old man Tianfang.

At the same time, the elder also raised his hand, took off his cloak, revealing a thin face with a faint smile.
