Chapter 2220: Conspiracy in Wuyang Valley

Knock! Knock!

Just as the old man in green was in doubt, a slight sound rang out on the stone door again.

The old man frowned, walked down from the stone bed, and then took out a black dagger and wrapped it around his body, and walked towards the stone door with a vigilant face.

Kakaka... He held the magic formula in one hand and gently pressed the mechanism on the door with the other hand. As the stone door slowly slid open, he was ready to attack at any time.

Hmm?

But when the stone door gradually opened and he saw what was outside the door clearly, he was stunned and showed a surprised expression.

I saw that there was a black lion lying outside the stone door, with big watery eyes, just staring at him.

"What's going on?"

The old man in green was puzzled. It seemed that there were no monsters in Yinsha Mountain.

Moreover, this guy didn't have any fluctuations in cultivation. He looked like an ordinary beast.

This was too strange.

He couldn't figure out where this guy came from.

"You beast, get out of here! Otherwise I will kill you." The old man in green stared at the lion for a few seconds, then kicked it, ready to drive it out.

Unexpectedly, the black lion did not leave, but rushed into the stone hall.

"Are you looking for death?" The old man cursed angrily, and turned back to drive the dagger to kill the black lion.

However, the moment he turned around, the black lion suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a pink round bead at him.

The round bead flashed with a spiritual light, and in the blink of an eye, the whole stone room was filled with pink mist.

Before the old man could react, the flying dagger became uncontrollable, and at the same time his eyes froze, and he fell directly into the illusion.

Seeing this, Lu Li was secretly happy, and he changed back to his original appearance. He was even too lazy to put on his clothes, and hurried to the sandalwood rack by the wall, staring at the huge jade talisman.

All array runes have runes inside, and Lu Li had studied this before. As soon as his pupil technique was opened, Lu Li could see the runes inside this array rune clearly.

However, there are a lot of runes in this array rune, and most of them are unfamiliar to him. It is still difficult to fully understand them.

Fortunately, Lu Li does not need to fully understand the functions of these runes at this time. He directly finds the most critical entanglement rune.

Then, with a trace of far-element power, he stuffed a tiny iron sand into the rune and forcibly blocked it.

The main function of the entanglement rune is to make this rune and the array produce induction.

Once this rune is blocked, the line between the two will be broken. No matter what happens to the Wuyang Valley array on the opposite side, there will be no reaction here.

More importantly, such a blockage is difficult to find unless the array master carefully checks it.

All this is slow to say, but it is actually just a matter of a few breaths.

After Lu Li finished his work, he quickly collected the Heart-Bewitching Bead and turned back into his previous black lion appearance.

Then his eyes moved, and he rushed over and bit the old man's thigh fiercely.

"Ah!" The old man screamed in pain and immediately woke up from his confusion.

At the same time, he slapped Lu Li and sent him flying outside the stone hall with a snap.

"Beast! You are looking for death." The old man was furious and got up from the ground to chase Lu Li.

However, the effect of the Heart-Bewitching Bead did not completely disappear, and his true energy still seemed extremely obscure.

He suddenly stood up and rushed out, but his center of gravity was unstable and he fell hard on the threshold.

"Roar...!" Lu Li struggled to get up, let out an unwilling low roar at the old man, and then disappeared directly into the night.

"Beast, beast...!"

Although the old man wanted to chase him, he was exhausted and had no way to deal with Lu Li.

He forced himself to get up, closed the stone door, walked back to the bed and sat down.

He looked around and found that nothing important was damaged, so his gloomy face eased a little.

However, when he saw several hideous teeth marks on his thigh, he couldn't help but get angry: "You dare to bite me, you better not let me catch you!"

In his opinion, the black lion must be starving, so it came out to find food.

At the same time, he was also glad that he had some skills, otherwise he would be in trouble today.

Yinsha Mountain is covered by a large formation. Except for the normal exit, it is impossible to get out from other places.

After thinking about it, Lu Li directly restored his appearance of Shi Ming and walked out of the main gate.

Two guards were meditating in the stone pavilion. Seeing Lu Li, they couldn't help but be surprised.

The guard on the right stood up and greeted: "Protector, are you out so late?"

"Well, the owner of the building asked me to talk about something, which delayed a little time." Lu Li said casually, took out the snow lotus from his arms and stepped on it.

"So that's how it is. Sir, take care!" The guard didn't suspect anything and bowed to see him off.

Lu Li didn't reply and disappeared into the night.

In the following days, Lu Li stayed in the Shiming Cave to practice and didn't go out at all.

At the beginning, he was still worried, fearing that the consul guarding the stone hall would find out something and reveal what happened that day.

But after more than two months of peace and quiet, and without hearing any rumors, Lu Li was completely relieved.

That day, he was still concentrating on cultivation, but the communication mechanism in the cave suddenly rang.

He hurriedly retreated from the Time Hall and quickly changed into Shi Ming's appearance to open the door.

Lu Li opened the stone door and saw that it was a middle-aged man of the Immortal King level.

"Master Shi, I am the consul of the Mission Hall."

"According to the rules, you should have gone to Wuyang Valley to replace Protector Qiao three days ago. I dare to ask, is there any problem on your side?"

The middle-aged man first introduced himself respectfully, and then explained his purpose.

"Three days ago?"

"Sorry, sorry, I practiced too much for a while, but I forgot such a big thing, I will go over now!"

Lu Li was stunned at first, then he slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

Of course, he didn't really forget, but did it on purpose to make the 12th Protector anxious.

In this way, the other party would not think that he was eager to take over the position.

After all, guarding Wuyang Valley is not an easy job. If you rush over to drive the other party away, it is hard to guarantee that the twelve guardians will not be suspicious.

"In this case, please go over quickly, Lord Shi. Guardian Qiao is waiting impatiently." The consul of the Mission Hall felt relieved when he heard this, and smiled with a fist.

"Okay, I know. You go first, I will pack up and take over from him." Lu Li waved his hand and sent the consul away.

Lu Li walked back to the house, sat for a while, drank a few cups of tea leisurely, and then went out slowly and headed towards Wuyang Valley.

Wuyang Valley is located in the northeast of this place. It is a small valley surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides.

However, there is a narrow crack passage on the cliff on the south side.

The valley is covered by a barrier, and only this crack passage can be entered and exited.

On the stone wall to the right of the crack, a small stone cave was dug out.

Normally, the guardians who guard here live in the stone cave.

However, at their level, unless they have a middle-grade source of Taoism, they cannot comprehend the great Dao in the stone cave.

Therefore, the people who guard here usually meditate on the platform outside the stone cave.

At this time.

There is also a person on the platform outside the stone cave.

However, he is not meditating, but pacing back and forth on the platform, staring into the distance from time to time, with an anxious and irritable expression.
