“Here it is!”
Under the Adept Qing Feng’s lead, Yang Junshan and he arrived at the entrance of a cave, and then turned left and right in the passage that stretched in all directions.
The Adept Qing Feng continued, “At that time, we found the place where the restrictions combined with the spatial cracks, and at the center of the cave, there was the corpse of a cultivator. That strand of wind and lightning essence floated above the corpse, I guessed that this should have been the item in front of the corpse.”
“I know that you are an array master, brother Yang. The Xishan Village’s lightning light formation is extremely famous in the cultivation world. I predicted that Brother Yang would be interested in that lightning source, that’s why I dared to invite you.”
Yang Junshan nodded, then saw as Adept Qing Feng’s figure turned and reached the entrance of the cave, he then turned and smiled at him: “At that time we met that Stone Demon, and was almost ambushed. If not for meeting you this time, even if we managed to escape, I’m afraid it would have been difficult to return here.”
The Adept Qing Feng continued to speak, but suddenly realized that Yang Junshan’s gaze had shot past him and straight to his back, and his expression became ugly as well.
Adept Qing Feng’s heart sank, he secretly became alert and turned around, only to see that there was another path opposite the cave, and at the same time, there were a few cultivators standing at the entrance, looking at the two of them with the same surprised expression.
“Yuxiao Sect Cultivators!” Adept Qing Feng’s pupils constricted. He clearly felt that the matter was a little tricky.
At this time, Yang Junshan’s gaze went from the bodies of a few cultivators of the Yuxiao Sect to the center of the cave, which looked relatively empty on the surface. He saw a wisp of cyan wind and a purple light floating above the rotten corpse that Adept Qing Feng had mentioned.
“You two, this is the first time our Yuxiao Sect has discovered it, please leave for the time being!”
A Yuxiao Sect cultivator was the first to speak, his words did not sound overbearing, but the contempt in his tone could not be hidden.
“Why? This place wasn’t discovered by your Yuxiao Sect first, but was first here, and it was just to find a helper so I temporarily left. If we really follow the order of arrival, then the one who exited should be your Yuxiao Sect.”
Adept Qing Feng’s expression changed drastically, he naturally knew the position of the Yuxiao Sect in the cultivation world, and that was definitely one of the top three sects in the Yuzhou. Although there was still a force backing the Adept Qing Feng, it wasn’t as if the cultivation alliance of the Yu Cheng was weak, so even if they could unite together, they would still not be a match for the majestic Yuxiao Sect.
But no matter what, the Adept Qing Feng would not let him leave. The wind source in the middle of the seal in the cave was the key to whether or not he could truly advance into the Profound Constellation Realm.
Adept Qing Feng’s words made the opposing Yuxiao Sect cultivators’ expression darken. An extremely robust and imposing white clothed cultivator suddenly stood forward and said solemnly: “So you two don’t want to give way?”
These words werhreat, but the opposing Yuxiao cultivators appeared to be as expected, in their eyes, the opposing Adept Qing Feng and Yang Junshan were even more ignorant of what was happening.
Just as Adept Qing Feng was at a loss as to what to do, he suddenly heard Yang Junshan say slowly: “Since everyone has found this place on their own, then the treasures inside the restrictions naturally have their own methods too. If the people of Yuxiao Sect can obtain the items inside first, then we can only count ourselves as unlucky;
The Yuxiao Sect cultivator that spoke at the beginning laughed disdainfully: “With just you two, let alone two of you, even if we gave you a chance, what qualifications do you have to compete with our Yuxiao Sect?”
Yang Junshan smiled, and pointed to the restrictions that seemed to envelop the entire cave, and said: “Although we can see each other, but the truth is, even the cultivators of your sect can’t stop us, right?”
Adept Qing Feng couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was more or less stunned by the Yuxiao Sect’s might just now, but he had forgotten that there were restrictions and spatial traps between the two parties. He didn’t need to be afraid that the other party would rush over to attack him.
The Yuxiao Sect cultivator was angered but he did not expect that the white clothed man would actually reach out and stop him. He looked at Yang Junshan with a serious expression and said: “I recognize you, you are an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, the Young Patriarch of the Mengyu County, and the top three master array master of the Yuzhou, Spiritual Master Yang Junshan Yang.”
Yang Junshan laughed when he heard it: “This one is Yang Junshan, and I still do not know how famous I am now, but I am very sorry, the true legacy disciple of Yuxiao Sect, I only know of you, Brother Dongfang Zhu, but this friend is quite unfamiliar.”
The white robed cultivator’s expression did not change at all, and said in a deep voice: “I am Xi Menhu, Senior Sister Dongfang, and will be the number one Successor Disciple of the sect.”
Yang Junshan’s expression suddenly changed as he said, “Oh, so it’s fellow Daoist Xi Men, I have heard about you for a long time!”
Although Yang Junshan had never seen this Xi Menhu before, he had heard of his famous name. It was said that after Yan Dazhi, Zhang Yueming, Yang Junshan, and Ying Leishang, the fifth cultivator of the third generation who had advanced their Gangli Accumulation Realm, was also famous for killing Alien Cultivator s of the same cultivation level. Now that Yang Junshan had seen him today, he discovered that this person was deep and reserved, and was obviously not someone who could be easily seen through.
Hearing Yang Junshan’s praise, Xi Menhu’s expression remained calm, he nodded his head: “The cave is filled with restrictions, since the two of us are going to enter from the other side, we will naturally not be able to stop them, but naturally, my Yuxiao Sect’s disciples will not say anything fair to Taoist Yang, but the four of us, the four of us, will be working together to break through the formation, after all, if we go one on one, I am afraid that no one in the entire Yuzhou would dare to claim that we can surpass Taoist Yang in terms of array knowledge.”
Yang Junshan laughed, “Fellow Daoist Ximen, you are flattering us. Just as you said before, this cave is overgrown, and we are both on one side, but we can’t do anything to each other. Even Senior Lin Xiao has to make a move now, there’s nothing we can do about it!”
This person had the cultivation of the Profound Constellation Realm, so he was obviously a second generation cultivator of the Yuxiao Sect. But right now, even though Xi Menhu and Yang Junshan were talking about it, he himself was watching on the side smiling, without saying a word. Yang Junshan was even more certain that the status of the Spiritual Master Xi Menhu in the Yuxiao Sect was probably even higher than the Eastern Pearl from the past.
“Then let’s begin!”
After Xi Menhu finished speaking, he nodded towards the Yuxiao Sect elder behind him, and the other three Spiritual Masters followed Xi Menhu into the cave.
“What should we do?”
Although Yang Junshan was a formation master, there was still a simple and direct way to remove the seal, and that was to rely on his own strength to forcefully break through the seal. Not to mention that the opponent was one of the three big sects of the Yuzhou, and had a strong foundation, which could sometimes not be made up for with just his status as a formation master.
Sure enough, as soon as Adept Qing Feng’s voice fell, the Yuxiao Sect’s side had already broken through several layers of restrictions in front of them and advanced more than three meters forward towards the cave. It was evident that out of the four Spiritual Masters, at least two of them had some attainments in formation, and the one with the deepest attainments was the silent Yuxiao Sect’s Profound Constellation Realm cultivator just now.
Yang Junshan still did not make a move, and instead muttered: “Dao Friend Qingfeng, do you trust me?”
“Of course!”
Adept Qing Feng blurted out, but in his heart he thought, so what if I don’t trust you in this situation?
A look of excitement appeared on Yang Junshan’s face, and he said: “Since that’s the case, then Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, please help me rush to the array, I will go in and take a look!”
“Eh? Are you saying that you want to go in alone?”
Without waiting for him to ask, Yang Junshan had already turned and walked into the forbidden area. It was as if he had already seen it before, and he had even avoided a space trap that was difficult to detect even with his spiritual consciousness.
When Adept Qing Feng first discovered this place, it was naturally impossible for him to not have tried to break through his restrictions and enter, but he had to retreat after reaching a distance of ten meters. Back then, the spatial trap almost took his life, but he did not expect Yang Junshan to avoid it so easily.
Very quickly, the Adept Qing Feng realized that Yang Junshan and the Yuxiao Sect cultivators had different methods of passing through the Inhibition Formations. Normally, the cultivators would only be able to move forward after breaking one Inhibition Formation after another, and the way to break through the Inhibition Formation would either be through the use of an array formation or a method to temporarily activate it, or they could simply use their sacred art and brute force to break it.
But as Yang Junshan walked forward, although he was still thirty feet behind the rest of the Yuxiao Sect cultivators, he did not manage to break any of the restrictions. The restrictions that passed through were still in good condition, but he easily passed through.
Of course, every time he reached a restriction, Yang Junshan would also need to observe, calculate, and even touch the formation to feel the connection between them. However, every time he did so, it seemed to be extremely simple, as if there waidden backdoor in each restriction that was specially placed for him in each layer.
Very quickly, Yang Junshan’s method of passing through the restrictions also caught the attention of the Yuxiao Sect’s cultivators. Xi Menhu’s expression became solemn, and he softly said something to the Profound Constellation Realm elder beside him. The Profound Constellation Realm cultivator lifted his head to glance at Yang Junshan, and a trace of unease and surprise flashed past his eyes.
After that, Yuxiao Sect’s side seemed to have also felt the pressure, as the four Spiritual Masters combined their power and broke through the third layer of the seal, and once again walked towards the center of the cave, creating some distance between them and Yang Junshan, but Yang Junshan was still unaffected. After putting away the Chess in his hand, he walked over tlace near the first layer of the seal, pointed at a few locations in the air, and then used a few jade coins and a few spirit materials to build a simple and exquisite array on the ground, and then pushed forward, as though he had opened a door.
