Chapter 323 The Mysterious Lost Ones
"Let's begin!"
Duanmu Tongzi took a deep breath, and his eyes transformed into the sun and moon, creating a sun and moon mark that seemed to suck everyone in.
Seeing this, everyone quickly used their cultivation to defend themselves.
"go!"
With a casual flick of his finger, Duanmu Tongzi caused the sun and moon imprints to immediately disappear into the mist.
"roar!"
In an instant, the fog churned violently, and a furious roar rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a huge dragon head appeared and devoured the crowd, emanating a terrifying aura comparable to the Great Perfection of Nirvana.
"My reincarnation technique can only affect this beast for ten breaths!"
As Duanmu Tongzi spoke, he summoned a flying sword and slashed at the dragon.
Chen Tianjun stepped out and arrived at the head of the dragon's head. A faint light flickered within his body, merging into the dragon's body.
"go!"
Cangsongzi conjured an endless rain of swords, which rushed straight towards the dragon!
The old woman then summoned pieces of ice crystals.
The old man surnamed Pang then unleashed bolts of lightning.
"Clang!"
Just then, an extremely domineering sword aura soared into the sky.
To everyone's horror, Qin Hao suddenly produced a rusty short sword.
As he drew his short sword from its sheath, a sword beam powerful enough to cleave the heavens and earth crashed down upon the dragon.
"The Sub-Emptiness Nirvana Treasure!"
Upon seeing the short sword, the expressions of the group of old monsters changed, their eyes filled with deep fear, as well as burning desire and greed.
"With both the Divine Demon Armor and the Sub-Void Nirvana Magic Treasure, what exactly is this person's identity?"
Cangsongzi was very curious.
He exchanged glances with the other cultivators, and had other plans in mind.
Under the onslaught of the crowd, the twelfth-tier dragon died on the spot.
Qin Hao took all the Yuan Crystals.
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin, we were able to save a lot of effort!"
Cangsongzi said, "Let's continue on our way!"
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Whatever you do, don't move, and don't disperse your divine sense!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes and remained motionless.
Upon hearing this, the elderly man surnamed Pang immediately showed fear in his eyes and did the same.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
Qin Hao's Five Elements Spirits, through the Chaos Pearl space, saw a figure dressed in gray approaching from afar.
As soon as he approached the dragon's corpse, the dragon rotted away, turning into a pool of blood that was absorbed by the figure.
Duanmu Tongzi sensed the chill approaching, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
The man in gray suddenly stopped and looked at Duanmu Tongzi.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Duanmu Tongzi's mind went blank, his eyes showed confusion, and the cycle of the sun and moon appeared above his head and was absorbed by the boy.
Then, his body was filled with deathly aura, devoid of any life force, and he began to follow the gray-clad man forward.
This bizarre scene truly terrified everyone.
You should know that Duanmu Tongzi was a mid-stage Shattered Nirvana cultivator.
However, they were powerless to fight back against the man in gray.
As he continued onward, Duanmu Tongzi's hair fell out, his clothes became transparent, and his skin turned grayish-white, making him look like a dead person.
Soon, the two disappeared.
"call!"
Cangsongzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Tianjun swallowed hard and asked in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Cangsongzi, who is that person?"
Cangsongzi replied, "All I know is that he is a lost soul!"
The old woman, her face grim, asked, "Where exactly is this place?"
"I told you, I don't know!"
Cang Songzi shook his head: "All I know is that the gray-clad man is a lost soul. As long as he doesn't move and his consciousness doesn't leave, nothing will happen."
The elderly man surnamed Pang said with lingering fear, "It was all because Fellow Daoist Duanmu wouldn't listen to advice, that's why—"
"Chen is withdrawing!"
Chen Tianjun snorted coldly and left.
After he left, Cangsongzi said to the others, "Without my guidance, he wouldn't have been able to get back!"
He paused, then continued, "Fellow Daoists, as far as I know, there is a cave dwelling here, and the owner of this cave dwelling is none other than Sima Mo, the eldest disciple of the Potian Sect, who left eighteen thousand years ago with the pill formula!"
"If we find his cave, we might be able to obtain that kind of pill—a pill that can help cultivators comprehend their origin!"
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and showed it to everyone.
After reading the jade slip, the old woman asked, "Cang Songzi, what are the chances of success in getting in there?"
"With everyone's help, we're at least 70-80% sure!"
Cangsongzi answered.
Then, he began to lure people with various benefits.
Of course, this so-called benefit is just wishful thinking, promising a treasure that has not yet been obtained.
Qin Hao remained calm; for him, there was little danger here.
Then, the group continued forward.
"Some of these mist-transforming ferocious beasts like to devour immortal jade. You can use immortal jade to lure them, then sneak up and steal some elemental crystals."
Cang Songzi led the group to obtain 20,000 to 30,000 yuan crystals, which he then handed over to Qin Hao.
The group continued on their way until they reached a dead end.
A mountain range blocked the road ahead.
Beyond the mountains, there was a thick fog.
The old woman asked, "Fellow Daoist Cangsongzi, are you sure there are restrictions here, and that we're not just climbing over the mountain?"
Cangsongzi replied, "We climbed up the mountain via another route, suffering heavy casualties. We found a total of seven 12th-tier ferocious beasts there. Later, we found a jade map that said there was a passage through the mountain range."
The old woman made hand seals, summoning a series of complex restrictions that landed on the rocks in front of her.
Soon, the rocks mysteriously vanished, and an aura of antiquity emanated from them.
The old woman abruptly took several steps back, her hands forming hand seals as she repeatedly struck her chest. Seven streams of black energy dissipated, swirling around her.
She stepped toward the rocks, causing ripples to appear in front of her.
Before everyone's eyes, a dark tunnel appeared ahead.
The old woman persevered under pressure, and when she could no longer hold on, she suddenly pressed her finger to her forehead.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the old woman seemed to have reversed her aging process, transforming from a white-haired, wrinkled old woman into a mature and beautiful woman in her forties.
"Pfft!"
She took two more steps, spat out a mouthful of blood, and retreated.
The old woman reverted to her aged appearance and exclaimed in surprise, "The Nine-Step Heaven-Sealing Formation!"
"This is an ancient and wondrous formation. The person who set it up possessed a terrifying level of mastery over restrictive formations. Even though the formation is not as powerful as it once was, I can only take five steps at most!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Songzi hurriedly asked, "How do we break the formation?"
Qin Hao glanced at the old woman, knowing full well that she was hiding her true abilities.
It can be said that everyone who enters here is hiding their true abilities.
The old woman took out a pill, swallowed it, and said to everyone, "Just take ten steps, and you can break the formation!"
Cang Songzi gritted his teeth, took out the Divine Demon Armor, and put it on.
"boom!"
In an instant, demonic energy surged, making him appear like an unparalleled demon lord.
"I'd like to see how many steps he can take!"
He strode forward and rushed inside, taking ten steps in a row.
Then, demonic energy erupted, and Cangsongzi took three more steps.
He gritted his teeth and took the eighth and ninth steps.
As soon as he landed on the ninth step, he coughed up blood and flew backward.
Cang Songzi said coldly, "If we don't go, none of you will get any benefit!"
