Chapter 1596: Strange formation, clues detected
It was the depth of winter again, and heavy snowflakes were falling, and the river surface was covered with frost. It looked crystal clear like a mirror. The sky and the earth were vast, except for the howling cold wind.
Suddenly, cracks appeared in the ice on the river surface as if it had been hit by an impact, and a fish about ten feet big broke out of the ice. The fish's tail swung vigorously and jumped into the air. It was a low-level monster with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.
However, not long after, a larger crocodile monster followed from behind. It opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and gnawed fiercely, directly tearing the monster fish into pieces and swallowing it into its belly.
But after a hearty meal, the crocodile monster did not stay for long. Instead, it dived into the water with a vigilant and panicked face, as if there was some unknown risk in the outside world. Only stains of blood were left on the ice, which gradually condensed as the cold invaded.
Scenes like this, which appear to be cruel, are all too common in the world of immortality, where the weak eat the strong.
But Qin Tian, who was standing on the bow of the ship, suddenly changed his expression.
Probably because the blood stains on the ice below solidified, as if they were being pulled by some invisible force, they suddenly turned into strands of blood, passing straight through the thick ice barrier and drifting towards the horizon somewhere with the wind. go.
And that direction is where the former capital of Liangzhou, Wangyue Fairy City, was located!
After realizing this, Qin Tian frowned slightly!
You must know that when the barbarians invaded, Liangzhou was the first to fall. Wangyue Immortal City, the capital of Liangzhou, had long since been reduced to ruins. Not only were many monks slaughtered, but even the city lord was killed by Priest Mingyue. Seized.
But judging from the current situation, the truth may not be the case, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the inexplicable pulling of blood.
Thinking of the fact that the whole of Liangzhou had turned into a dead land, and the fact that Holy King Mingyue had yet to be seen, Qin Tian suddenly had an inexplicable intuition that there must be some kind of huge conspiracy hidden behind this!
Lei Xiaoqiong on the side also noticed something and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Husband, what's wrong?"
After hearing this, Qin Tian looked at Murong Xuanying and Fairy Yun Xin who had gathered together, and then said in a solemn tone:
"Something is not right here. Qin will go and investigate for the time being. You stay where you are and be careful!"
After saying this, Qin Tian did not hesitate and turned directly into a blurry shadow, flying silently down to the sky, using the cover of various shadows on the ground to sneak towards the direction of Wangyue Immortal City.
Seeing this situation, although the three women were worried, they were also helpless.
After all, not everyone has Qin Tian's unparalleled concealment skills. If he follows rashly, he may become a burden, so it is better to stay where he is and wait quietly.
However, a strange color flashed through the eyes of the Saint of the Immortal Sect, as if she was vaguely hesitant, as if she was hiding something or struggling with something!
............
At the same time, Qin Tian on the other side turned into a shadow and sneaked. With the help of the Yin Yuan Jue, he did not emit the slightest breath along the way, but he did not encounter any obstruction.
It looked like the entire Liangzhou territory had really turned into death.
However, after approaching the fairy city, this situation suddenly changed.
Not long after, the view ahead suddenly became clearer, and many ruins appeared on the vast plain. The endless ruins and the ancient and mottled broken city walls were enough to prove that this was the once prosperous Moon Moon Fairy City!
This important border city was also the first fairy city that Qin Tian saw when he arrived in the Nine Provinces Continent for the first time.
At that time, he was greatly shocked and lamented the prosperity of the Kyushu Continent, but who would have expected that only two hundred years later, this important border city had been reduced to ruins!
Feeling sad in his heart, Qin Tian's expression quietly became serious.
Probably because during the detection of his spiritual consciousness, he found that there were many obscure auras hidden in the seemingly broken ruins ahead. It was initially judged that there were at least two powerful soul masters stationed there, as well as many barbarian generals and soul generals. Patrolling in secret, it seems to be a heavily guarded posture.
Moreover, these powerful barbarians are all from the Mingyue Tribe.
In addition, in the center of the ruins, there are still faint traces of the formation's operation, and even the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth has been disturbed into chaos.
The most important thing is that the place where the strands of blood gather is the center of the fairy city!
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian's eyes suddenly flashed.
If he still can't guess the clues until now, then he will be worthy of the name of Taoist Xuantian!
There is no doubt that this place is absolutely inseparable from the Holy King of the Dark Moon. Maybe it is the conspiracy hidden behind the scenes!
Thinking of this, Qin Tian no longer hesitated at all, and quickly pushed the Yin Yuan Jue and Phantom Tracing Technique to the limit, turning into shadows silently and approaching the ruins.
With the mysteries of the two secret techniques, he was confident that even the most powerful monks would not be able to easily detect their traces.
...........
After about a short cup of tea, in the underground palace a hundred feet deep under the ruins, a black shadow slowly emerged, revealing Qin Tian, who was wearing a black robe.
The plan went very smoothly. At this moment, he had successfully sneaked into the center of the ruins without alerting anyone along the way, and found the secret underground palace established by the Mingyue Tribe.
And at his feet, there was a master in the early stage of the Soul General lying down. He looked like he was asleep, with a peaceful look on his face.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Qin Tian did not use the soul-searching method, but used the more sophisticated dream-entering method for hypnosis, and still learned a lot of useful information.
It turned out that this underground palace was indeed built by the order of the Dark Moon Saint King himself after the city was broken, and a huge magic array was built in the depths, but it was always in a state of not being fully activated.
No one knows its specific purpose, even many tribal strongmen are kept in the dark. Only usually it will spontaneously attract all the blood and ghosts around it, and gather them to the core of the array to become an energy source. This is the main reason why Liangzhou was slaughtered and completely turned into a dead place.
The strong men of the Dark Moon tribe who were waiting here were responsible for maintenance and guarding. They were even strictly prohibited from going out at ordinary times, mainly because they were worried that the news would be leaked.
The most important thing is that not only the capital of Liangzhou is like this, but also the Fengzhou Immortal City, which had long fallen on the other side, is in the same situation, with the same strange array and barbarian guards.
After finding out the truth of all this, Qin Tian's eyes were already full of horror, and his heart was even more shocked.
Just think about it, he didn't hesitate to provoke a war between the two continents, slaughter countless cultivators and ordinary people, gather a lot of spirits and blood, and even spared the sacrificed barbarian warriors, just to construct this weird formation. Such bloody means are simply horrifying.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the cruel and vicious Mingyue Saint King, even the evil strongmen such as Tan Tai Lao Mo and Tiexue Yanwang are as simple as a good baby!
This is no longer a bloody killing.
This is completely the rhythm of destroying the world!
From this, it can be seen how terrible the conspiracy behind it is?
At least it is definitely not as simple as invading Jiuzhou and seeking revenge on the human race!
