Li Mu upgraded all his skills to the seventh level, including Talisman Making, Alchemy, and Puppetry, and gained huge rewards. He continued to devote himself to the study of the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation, and continued to break the restrictions on this side of the passage.
At this moment, Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming hurried over with solemn expressions.
"Master Li!" Qian Wantong walked up to Li Mu and said with a worried look on his face: "We encountered an emergency."
Li Mu turned around and looked at the two of them curiously He asked: "What's the matter?"
If there was no emergency, the two of them would not bother him to break the restriction.
Wan Shaoming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The news about our exploration of the secret ruins has been revealed. Now a group of monks are attacking the protective formation we set up in the passage. If there is no accident, they may not be able to hold on for a few days. ”
Hearing this, Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a coldness flashed across his face. This is indeed not good news. He has invested a lot of energy and time in cracking the ban, but now he may have failed due to external interference. But the success fell short.
"What is the strength of the visitor? Whose power is it?"
Wan Shaoming pondered for a moment and replied: "It is mainly the treasure hunting team of Tianji Tower, led by Bian Chongzong, and also others The monks who are entangled with other forces are only slightly stronger than us."
"How long can our protective formation last?" Li Mu asked.
"Three days at most." Qian Wantong said, "Moreover, if the opponent continues to strengthen the offensive, or enemies with higher cultivation levels appear, they may not be able to last even three days."
Li Mu was silent for a moment. , quickly calculating countermeasures in his mind.
Li Mu turned to look at the restriction of the closed passage. He had just found a clue to break through the restriction without affecting the entire Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation. He was about to forcefully break the restriction. It was estimated that it would take about half a months time.
"Master Li, how long will it take you to break this restriction, if they let them break in." Wan Shaoming paused, looked at Li Mu solemnly and asked: "I'm afraid we will all be in danger."
"It will take me at least fifteen days to completely break this restriction." Li Mu said solemnly.
After hearing this, Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming's expressions turned very ugly. Fifteen days was too long for their current situation. The protective formation they had arranged might not be able to support even three days, let alone It's the 15th.
"What should we do? I'm afraid it's too late!" Qian Wantong said anxiously, frowning.
Wan Shaoming also looked worried. He looked at Li Mu, as if expecting him to come up with some clever plan.
Li Mu took a deep breath. He knew that the decision at this moment was crucial, not only related to the life and death of several of them, but also related to the secret of the entire ruins.
“I have a plan, but the risk is extremely high.” Li Mu thought of a strategy and slowly said,
Li Mu's words immediately attracted the attention of Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming.
"Master Li, please speak, now we have no choice." Qian Wantong said eagerly.
"We can use the power of the Earth Fiend Gathering Yin Formation to temporarily enhance the defense of the formation. This may buy us enough time." Li Mu explained as he stared at the passage restriction in front of him.
"Master Li, borrow the power of the Disha Yin Gathering Formation? Are you sure?" Qian Wantong perked up and looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.
“After these days of research, I have some understanding of the Earth Fiend Gathering Yin Formation. It shouldn’t be a problem to use its power from the outside world to set up a protective formation. If possible, we may be able to use their power to Break this restriction for us!" Li Mu responded with a profound look in his eyes.
"Is... is it safe to do this? After all, the power of the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation is extraordinary. If we are not careful, we may all be buried in it!" Wan Shaoming looked at Li Mu worriedly and asked.
"There is indeed a certain risk, but now we have no choice. Only in this way can we buy some time." Li Mu said firmly.
Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming looked at each other and could see the determination in each other's eyes. Now they have no better choice.
"We trust you!" Qian Wantong said in a deep voice, "No matter what Master Li does, we will fully cooperate."
Wan Shaoming also nodded to express his support.
"Ask all your people to withdraw here, and I will set up a formation at the entrance of the passage." Li Mu ordered, and then he turned and walked towards the entrance of the passage.
Qian Wantong and Wan Shaoming took action immediately and notified everyone to evacuate to a safe area.
Although everyone was nervous and uneasy about the attack by the monks outside the passage, they all chose to believe Li Mu, carried out the order quickly and orderly, and retreated into the passage one after another.
Li Mu came to the entrance of the passage, took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and began to set up the formation.
I saw a golden spirit sword flying out from the Jiuzang Spirit Orb, surrounding Li Mu like a patron saint. He quickly formed seals with his hands and controlled these spirit swords accurately. Start carving formation patterns on the ground.
Arrays of formations wandered on the ground like spiritual snakes, exuding a faint spiritual light, gradually building a complex formation. This formation not only relied on the Yin evil power of the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation, but also incorporated Li Mu His unique understanding of battle tactics makes his defense even more powerful.
Soon, powerful spiritual energy flew out from Li Mu’s fingertips, quickly blending into the ground and integrating with the surrounding environment. As time went by, a complex formation gradually formed at the entrance of the passage, and soon , a powerful evil force quickly gathered, exuding a cold and deadly aura.
In the passage, the monks watching Li Mu's formation felt the power of this sinister force, and their expressions changed.
"This power is almost the same as the forbidden power outside the secret realm!"
"Haha! Great! This formation will definitely stump the guys outside!"
"Master Li is amazing! He deserves to be a great master of formations!"
"Uh! We seem to be trapped, how can we get out in the future!"
"This formation is Master Li's Setting up the formation himself, he certainly knows how to break it!"
...
Watching Li Mu setting up the formation, the monks were talking incessantly, praising his formation skills. At the same time, there were also some people. Concerns expressed about how to leave in the future. But most people still have full confidence in Li Mu.
Li Mu concentrated on controlling the formation of the formation, turning a deaf ear to the comments behind him, and constantly adjusted the structure and power distribution of the formation to ensure that it could maximize the use of the power of the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation to enhance defense.
Finally, when the last ray of spiritual power merged into the ground, the entire formation was completely activated, and a more powerful Yin evil force rose from the formation and overflowed the passage. This power allowed the attackers outside the passage to protect themselves. The monks in the formation felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. They stopped attacking one after another and looked at the powerful aura emanating from the passage in shock. At this time, the Ice Ghost Valley outside the passage, the temporary residence of Wanbao Pavilion, is now occupied by a group of high-level monks.
This group of monks seems to be a force put together temporarily. Some of them are alone, some are in groups, and they wear different clothes. Some are wearing elegant robes, and some are Exquisite armor, and some simple cloth. They have different backgrounds and different purposes. But at this moment, they have gathered together for a common goal, forming a force that cannot be ignored.
At this time, a group of Void Refining monks were attacking the protective formation outside the passage with all their strength. Their mana was surging, and various spells and spiritual weapons were intertwined into a spectacular picture. However, the defensive power of the protective formation was unexpectedly strong, which made this group of Void Refining monks feel troublesome.
At this moment, a strong sinister force suddenly overflowed from the passage, causing the expressions of all the monks present to change drastically. They felt the terrifying power contained in this force, which seemed to be able to destroy everything.
"What's going on! Could it be that Qian Wantong broke the restrictions in the secret realm! We can't let them succeed, everyone speed up to break the formation!"
Tianji Tower - Commander of the Treasure Hunting Team - Bian Chongzong said in shock.
Following Bian Chongzong’s call, the monks on the scene cheered up and showed anxious expressions. The attack frequency and mana output increased instantly, and the gorgeous spells and spiritual weapons bombarded the protective formation in front of the passage even more crazily. .
“A bunch of rubbish, even a seventh-level Bagua Wuji protective formation can’t take it down.”
Among the crowd, 'Hongshan', who was disguised as a Nascent Soul cultivator, had a bloody look in his eyes. He wanted to take action immediately and kill all the cultivators in front of him.
"Demon Lord, please be patient. It's not the time to take action now. The formation force that was suppressed just now is very important. We haven't confirmed whether the place below is the seal, so we just left this group of people to explore the way. "
Sensing the murderous intention on 'Hongshan', Wutian Demon Ancestor quickly conveyed his message to the gods and advised him.
Hearing this, "Hongshan" took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous intention in his heart. Now is indeed not the time to take action. The location of the sealed place cannot be confirmed yet, and his identity cannot be exposed now.
"Let your people take action and concentrate their efforts to attack Dongfang-Zhenwei!" "Hongshan" sent an order to Demon Ancestor Wutian.
Wutian Demon Ancestor nodded, and immediately conveyed the order of 'Red Mountain' to the Nine Demon Sect monks hidden among the monks through his spiritual thoughts. After receiving the order, those monks began to secretly encourage the surrounding monks, inciting them to concentrate their efforts on attacking the Dongfang-Zhen position of the Bagua array.
"Fellow Taoists and seniors, I have a little knowledge of the magic formation. I just observed that the east-quake position of the protective formation seems to be a little loose. We concentrate our efforts to attack there and we will definitely be able to break this formation!" Nine Demon Sect The disguised god-incarnation monk shouted loudly, trying to guide the monks.
The monks were encouraged by his words and turned their attack targets to the east - the earthquake position. For a moment, various spells and spiritual weapons flew towards the earthquake position of the magic circle, bursting out with powerful energy. fluctuation.
With a loud "Boom!", a burst of dazzling light burst out from the Dongfang-quake position, and the entire Bagua Wuji array shook, and its operation stopped instantly, suddenly breaking!
“It’s broken, the protective formation is broken!”
"Everyone, charge!"
......
As the protective formation was broken, the monks burst into cheers, and figures flew in one after another.
“Xuanyin Spirit Grass!”
“That is Yinsha Stone, the quality is so high!”
...
In the passage, the monks were like locusts passing by, frantically scrambling for the various rare spiritual materials that appeared in front of them. These spiritual materials were rarely seen in the outside world, but at this moment they were placed as if they were free of charge. In front of them, let them take whatever they want.
Wutian Demon Ancestor, together with the monks from the Nine Demon Sect, surrounded the 'Red Mountain', ignoring the high-level spiritual grass and various high-level spiritual minerals growing in the passage, and followed a group of Void Refining monks. Flying towards the end of the passage, the existence inside is their real goal.
......
At the other end of the passage, Qian Wantong and others also felt the strong attack from the outside world, and soon sensed that the protective formation was broken.
"Master Li, the Bagua Wuji array we set up was broken so quickly. Can the big array you set up now hold up?" Qian Wantong looked at Li Mu and asked worriedly.
"Yes! The Bagua Five Extremes Formation was broken so quickly. There must be experts among them!" Wan Shaoming said eagerly, looking at the array set up by Li Mu, his brows filled with emotion. concern.
At this time, as Li Mu's formation was gradually completed, a powerful evil force filled the passage, which became more and more intense. The entire passage was suddenly shrouded in a powerful energy shield. It was like an invisible wall, completely blocking off the entrance to the passage.
However, if the opponent can break through the Bagua Wuji Formation so quickly, it may not take much time to break this formation again.
"Don't worry, this formation incorporates the power of the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation, and its defensive power is far from comparable to the Bagua Wuji Formation. It will not be easy for them to break through." Li Mu smiled slightly, full of confidence say.
The formation that Li Mu is currently deploying is the Yin Yan Formation, one of the twelve sub-formations of the Yin and Yang Tian Yan Formation. It is also combined with some adaptations of the Nine Dragons Immortal Killing Formation, and borrows the overflowing power of the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation as its source. It is astonishingly powerful. It can be said that the array at the entrance of this passage has gathered the essence of Li Mu's seventh-level array spells and is the result of his many years of research and practice.
Although Qian Wantong, Wan Shaoming and others did not know much about the formation, they saw Li Mu’s confident look and felt the powerful aura emanating from the formation. doubts gradually dissipated.
"This formation will consume part of the power of the Earth Evil Gathering Yin Formation. If they attack the formation, they will help us break the restrictions in front." Li Mu looked at the monks and continued to introduce.
“It actually has such a miraculous effect?” Qian Wantong exclaimed, he was more and more impressed by Li Mu’s formation attainments.
"Then we can reap the benefits?" Wan Shaoming's eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn of successfully entering the secret realm.
Li Mu nodded, but then shook his head and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but the opponent is not a fool. If they find that the attack on the array is fruitless, they are likely to change their strategy. Moreover, although this array is powerful, it also has its limits and cannot be used. Completely rely on it.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded with understanding and felt a little heavy.
At this time, the Void Refining monks outside the passage gathered together, frowning and discussing countermeasures. They felt the power and weirdness of the formation restriction in front of them, and knew that it would not be easy to break through it, but they had no intention of doing so. give up.
"Demon Lord, what kind of magic circle is this? Is it a restriction on the sealed land?"
Wutian Demon Ancestor looked at the long group of Yin evil formation shields blocking the road in front of him, and looked at Send your spiritual thoughts to 'Red Mountain' to ask for countermeasures.
‘Hongshan’ frowned and had a solemn look on his face. He, who was in the Fusion Realm, clearly sensed that the formation in front was unusual and filled with murderous intent. (End of this chapter)
