Fa Xiang, who was standing in front of Zhang Xiaofan, chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice. A moment later, a round bead that was shining with a solemn golden light appeared in his hand. At first, the light seemed to be attached to the Fa Xiang, but as the Fa Xiang's mana was activated, the golden light suddenly became brighter. With the bead as the center, the golden light surged out in all directions like a tide. Zhang Xiaofan stood where he was, and he almost thought that a " whoosh " was heard by his ear, and the golden halo had already passed by him.
Everyone's face was reflected with a faint golden color. At the same time, they felt relieved. Even if they were a little nervous, they instantly calmed down. In the blink of an eye, the huge space was as bright as day. If it weren't for the strange rocks and the squirming bats, people would have thought that they had arrived at the Buddhist Surpassing Land.
Li Xun, who had always been arrogant, was a little surprised at this moment. He stood at the side and said in surprise,"Reincarnation Pearl!"
Fa Xiang glanced at him and said,"Senior Brother Li, you have good eyesight."”
Li Xun's tone seemed to suddenly become more polite to Fa Xiang. He said,"I wouldn't dare. Senior Brother Fa Xiang, you're the one with profound cultivation.”
With the help of the light from the Reincarnation Pearl, Zhang Xiaofan was able to see that he had indeed stepped on a clean and hard ground. He looked up and saw that the black bats on the top of the cave had disappeared for some reason, but the rustling sound was still ringing in his ears.
He took a closer look and realized that countless black bats were still gathered at the top of the cave behind him. However, on the hard ground where they were standing, there was a thin red line streaking across the rock at the top of the cave. It looked like a vein that was born in the rock.
With this red line as the boundary, countless bats were gathered outside. None of them crossed the red line, and there was no more stinky bat feces outside.
Fa Xiang looked around and said in a deep voice,""There are many strange things here. Everyone must be careful.”
How could everyone not know? But after stepping on a clean place with great difficulty and checking that there was nothing unusual in the surroundings, the first thing most of them did was to straighten their clothes. Zeng Shushu, who was standing next to Zhang Xiaofan, took off her shoes and poured out the disgusting things inside. She whispered to Zhang Xiaofan,""For the first time in my life, I know that walking on a clean road is so comfortable!”
Zhang Xiaofan smiled and quickly cleaned himself up. He felt much better now. After a while, Qi Hao saw that everyone was almost done, so he said,""Let's go." As he spoke, he walked into the depths of the cave.
Everyone followed. Soon, as they walked forward, their backs fell into endless darkness.
In front of them, the darkness seemed to be like a demon beast. It opened its arms and revealed a sinister smile, welcoming their arrival.
A speck of light in the darkness slowly moved forward.
After walking for an unknown distance, this ancient and deep cave seemed to have no end. Although it was still very spacious, it was twisted and turned. Other than the fact that it was probably inclined to the ground, it was almost impossible to tell the direction.
The rustling of the bats at the entrance of the cave had long since disappeared. In the darkness, there was no other sound other than the footsteps of the group. Zhang Xiaofan felt that the humidity around him was getting heavier and heavier. He had no idea how deep he had gone underground.
The Reincarnation Pearl that Dharma Laksana had cast was still emitting golden Buddhist light, shining on everyone. Zhang Xiaofan had also cast the Hexagonal Mirror just in case. The two treasures complemented each other. After walking for a while, Qi Hao, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped and reached out his hand to say to the people behind him,""Slow down."
Everyone immediately stopped.
The surroundings were silent.
The light of the Reincarnation Pearl and the Six Directions Mirror gradually lit up. In front of everyone, the cave in front of them suddenly opened up into two forks. It was deep and dark, and they didn't know where it led to. It was like a demon opening its mouth. In the middle of the road, which was also the center of the two forks, stood a huge stone tablet that was as tall as six people. On it were four blood-red words:
The Heavenly Dao is with me!
Li Xun of the Burning Incense Valley snorted and said angrily,""A demon from the Demon Cult dares to call himself the Heavenly Dao!”
Fa Xiang frowned and looked at the stone tablet a few more times."When I came here, I heard Master Pu Hong say that the Demon Cult did have this stone tablet in this cave eight hundred years ago, but it was cut open by the immortals of the righteous path with a powerful sword.”
At this moment, Yan Hong of the Burning Incense Valley, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said,""Look at the bottom quarter of the stone tablet. Is there a crack?”
Her voice was gentle and charming, and it actually made people's hearts flutter. In addition, it was the first time everyone from the Qingyun Sect heard Yan Hong speak, so they were slightly surprised. Everyone walked up and took a closer look. Indeed, there was a fine crack that slanted upwards, splitting the entire stone tablet into two halves. The stone texture at the crack was dark red, but if one did not look closely, they would definitely not be able to see it.
Qi Hao nodded and said to Yan Hong,""Junior Sister Yan is so meticulous."
Yan Hong smiled and lowered her head, not saying anything else.
Qi Hao looked at the stone tablet again, then turned around and said to everyone,""Since this stone tablet has already been repaired, it can be seen that most of the demons of the Demon Cult are here, doing some shady business.”
Fa Xiang continued," Senior Brother Qi's words make sense. Danger lurks everywhere in this cave. There's a problem in front of us. Which of these two paths should we take?”
" Senior Fa Xiang," Qi Hao muttered," you said that your master, the Divine Monk Puhong, had mentioned this place to you. Did he mention this fork in the road?"”
Fa Xiang nodded and said," Master did say it, but he also learned from the previous patriarch. It is said that during the great war between the righteous and demonic sects, there were nests of demonic cultivators behind these two forks. As for the current situation, he is not very clear.”
Everyone was silent. After a while, Qi Hao looked at the other three members of his sect and said to Fa Xiang and the others,""Since that's the case, why don't we split up? The four of us from the Qingyun Sect will investigate the left fork, while Fa Xiang, Senior Brother Fashan, and the two from the Burning Incense Valley will investigate the right fork. If we encounter a demon from the demonic sect, we will shout to warn them.”
Fa Xiang was silent. Although he knew that it was not a good thing to be scattered like this, the cave was deep and he did not know how far the two forks were. If he took the wrong path and turned back, he was afraid that it would delay too much. Moreover, everyone present was the elite of each sect, so they might not be unable to protect themselves. He turned to look at Li Xun and Yan Hong of the Valley of Incense. Seeing that they had no objections, he said,""Then we'll do as Senior Brother Qi says. Everyone must be careful.”
Then, he glanced at Zhang Xiaofan again.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat. He felt that this Senior Martial Brother Fa Xiang seemed to really see him in a new light, but he still smiled back.
Qi Hao nodded and cupped his fists at Fa Xiang and the others. Then, he led Zhang Xiaofan and the others into the left fork. After a few steps, the light behind them turned and gradually disappeared. It seemed that Fa Xiang and the others had also entered the right fork.
Zhang Xiaofan walked at the front and raised the Six Harmonies Mirror above his head. He activated his celestial spiritual energy and the yellow halo of the Six Harmonies Mirror shone down, covering the four of them.
This fork in the road was much narrower than the cave he had just walked through. At the same time, the rocks on both sides were abrupt and sharp. Zhang Xiaofan had almost been injured. The only similarity was the eternal darkness around them. In this place, there seemed to have never been a trace of light.
The four Qingyun Sect members were not in the mood to talk, especially Qi Hao, who was walking at the front. He was even more focused on guarding against the unknown danger ahead.
Zhang Xiaofan had been gone for a long time, so much so that he couldn't help but wonder if his Senior Brother Fa Xiang would hear him even if he ran into a demon from the Demonic Sect.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. In the path that everyone was walking in, the seemingly eternally dark and quiet surroundings suddenly rang out with a deafening ghost cry.
The four of them were shocked. Just as Qi Hao was about to remind them, his body shook. All kinds of strange lights lit up from the endless darkness in all directions. They rushed towards the four of them in the passageway at the same time and hit the Hexagonal Mirror's light circle.
The power was so great that even the Six Directions Mirror swayed. Zhang Xiaofan quickly calmed himself down and strengthened his defense.
The ghostly wails grew louder and louder, making people dizzy. Zeng Shushu, Lu Xueqi, and Zhang Xiaofan protected Qi Hao in the center. Countless rays of light were reflected by the Six Directions Mirror, turned in the air, and then fiercely turned back to charge again. In the darkness, there were countless enemies hiding, and there were countless magical weapons flying in the air.
Zhang Xiaofan was calm and composed as he clenched his hands tightly. Although he was surrounded by magic treasures from the outside world, the Six Directions Mirror gradually stabilized. The light circle gradually grew brighter. Just as the Qingyun Sect was about to heave a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt the hard ground under his feet move.
Before he could react, he heard Zeng Shushu shout anxiously,""Be careful, there's…"
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud noise was heard, and everyone felt as if the earth was shaking. A strong force suddenly surged out from under their feet. Zhang Xiaofan laughed and said,""Demon Cult! Could this little trick break the Six Directions Mirror?”Zhang Xiaofan's eyes were bleeding, and a figure that looked like a general appeared above his head. It held a blood-red shield and blocked the power on the ground!
In the darkness, countless rays of light whistled past, like a roar of disappointment, rushing towards the four of them.
Zhang Xiaofan pulled out the Soul-devouring Sword, and it suddenly changed. The soft white light was mixed with a trace of green light, and the pearl on the hilt was glowing with a bright red light. No matter what Dharma treasure it was, it was overshadowed!
A low voice of surprise suddenly came from an unknown place in the darkness.
At this moment, two other rays of light, one yellow and one gray, also rushed over. Zhang Xiaofan could see that the dark red light was a dark red trident with thick blood stains on it. The yellow light was a three-foot-long sword, while the gray light was a huge unknown beast fang!
