Chapter 109: Mutation
Duan Qing stared blankly at Song Ling'er who was running towards Bai Shaoyun. His heart was filled with mixed emotions for a moment, whether he was standing still and walking or not walking.
While he was stunned, the endless dust around him gradually divided into two groups, one group continued to gather towards Duan Qing, and the other group followed Song Ling'er.
At this time, part of the dust had changed from the initial powdery state to crystal grains, and the remaining dust was also rapidly transforming. Seeing this, Duan Qing secretly gritted his teeth and chased after Song Ling'er.
But as soon as he took a step, he felt a vibration under his feet, and then a huge boulder suddenly appeared in front of him. He was caught off guard, and the impact caused him to fly back several feet.
After landing, Duan Qing stabilized his body and looked at the boulder a few feet away in amazement. He saw that the boulder was about one foot in size, and its whole body was red, as if it had just been fished out of lava. He could feel it even from a few feet away. A wave of heat hit my face.
However, the heat wave did not last long, and the boulder was seen cooling at a speed visible to the naked eye. The fiery red color at the beginning quickly dimmed, and finally turned dark. As its color changed, a kind of blue color had never been seen on the boulder. The formation patterns gradually appeared.
Outside Yongling Valley, Senior Brother Yu Ya, the Middle-earth envoy who was originally the old god, suddenly felt something. He took out a jade talisman and looked at it strangely, and then took out something that looked like a formation plate and closed his eyes to feel it. After thinking about it for a while, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around to look at the transmission channel at the entrance to the stone wall of Yongling Valley in surprise.
Mr. Xue, who was not far away and was looking far away, noticed the changes in his eldest brother and couldn't help but feel curious. Although the eldest brother was usually not formal, he rarely showed such an expression, so he immediately sent a message to ask.
"What's wrong?"
Senior Brother Yu Ya's voice was filled with panic.
"The seal node has shifted and is within the fourth level of Yongling Valley!"
Mr. Xue's expression changed suddenly when he heard this. He put away his folding fan and ducked to his senior brother's side, looking at the transmission channel on the stone wall with a serious face!
Although what the senior brother said was not very detailed, Mr. Xue knew the seriousness of the matter. Every ten years, Middle-earth sent envoys to the Xiaonan Realm to open the Yongling Valley. In fact, they also had another task, which was to inspect the seals of the Xiaonan Realm. Whether the node is intact or not, even the latter is far more important than the former, but because the seal was placed by the powerful, there has never been an error in the past, so that the envoys from Middle-earth have always been just a formality.
Mr. Xue looked at his senior brother and transmitted the message secretly.
"Why is this so?"
Senior Brother Yu Ya shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't understand either.
At this time, everyone in Xiaonanjie not far away noticed something strange about the two of them, and each reacted differently.
Although the ancestor of the Chayue Sect among the two Chayue Sect did not dare to use his senses to eavesdrop on what the two said, he already had a guess in his mind.
Just before, he had noticed that the mark of Lu Si on the jade slips of the sound transmission had disappeared. It was self-evident what this meant.
So he just thought that his blood sacrifice plan to steal the Wanhua Pure Lotus failed and was discovered by the envoy from Middle-earth.
The beautiful young woman of the Jasper Sect and the leading middle-aged man of Luofeng Valley looked at Mr. Xue, whose expression changed drastically. Although they were curious in their hearts, due to the gap between Xiaonanjie and Middle-earth, they all remained silent.
Qingchen Zhenren, who was the only outspoken person, turned his head and looked at Elder Bai. Although he saw a hint of stopping in the other's eyes, he still stepped forward to ask Mr. Xue.
"May I ask, sir, if something has changed in the valley?"
Mr. Xue glanced at Master Qingchen and didn't want to pay attention to it, but he suddenly remembered something. Previously, the senior brother mentioned that people from Xiaonanjie were plotting the Ten Thousand Transformations Pure Lotus in the fourth floor. Now, the seal node of Xiaonanjie suddenly shifted to the Yongling Valley. The fourth floor, is it all a coincidence?
"snort!"
He snorted coldly, but did not clarify.
Master Qingchen was bored and a little confused. At the same time, he was also very angry at Master Xue's arrogance.
She no longer asked for trouble, turned around and walked back with a gloomy face.
At this time, Senior Brother Yu Ya was holding the formation plate in one hand and the jade talisman in the other hand. He was looking back and forth nervously. Suddenly, he saw his face change suddenly. He didn't even care about the sound transmission, and he exclaimed.
"No, the node and the Yongling Valley Mysterious Formation are mutually exclusive. The Mysterious Formation is damaged and the channel will be closed early!
One sentence shocked everyone.
What! In the past, didn’t the opening of Yongling Valley last for one month? It has only been more than ten days, why is it closed early?
Everyone looked at the transmission channel on the stone wall, and saw that the channel really began to shrink at this time.
Seeing this, senior brother Yu Ya quickly used his spiritual power to inject the jade talisman and forcibly stabilized the transmission channel. The jade talisman for opening the Mysterious Array given by the sect was not a genuine one, but a rubbing that could only be opened once. If he let it go at this time The channel is closed. Unless the real opening jade talisman is used again, it will never be opened again!
At this time, Zhenren Qingchen, who was halfway through, quickly turned back, looked at Yu Ya and said nervously.
"How could this happen! Please, please send my disciple from the Southern Realm out as soon as possible."
The beautiful young women of the Jasper Sect among the people who gathered around also quickly agreed.
"Excuse me, sir."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ya immediately activated the teleportation mark in the jade talisman, but after a moment he shook his head and said.
"No one is on the first floor, so it's impossible to teleport!"
Everyone realized at this time that less than half of a month had passed, and the disciples inside must still be looking for the Mortal Transformation Grass on the second or third floor! Unfortunately, the only way to teleport out of Yongling Valley is on the first floor.
And if Yongling Valley is really closed in advance, the people inside will have to wait another ten years before they can come out! Everyone present is very clear about the rules for opening Yongling Valley. Even the Middle-earth envoys can only open it once each time they come. They have to wait another ten years for the next opening.
Master Xue asked Senior Brother Yu Ya at this time.
"Senior Brother, how long can you keep it open?"
Senior Brother glanced at the jade talisman, thought a little and said uncertainly.
"One day, at most one and a half days!"
Master Xue nodded gently.
"Enough, I'll go and bring the people out."
He said this just as an excuse. In fact, he didn't care about the lives of the disciples of Xiaonanjie at all. What he cared about at this time was why the sealing node was offset, and he wanted to go into Yongling Valley to investigate.
Senior Brother Yu Ya hesitated. Although the sealing node was of great importance, Junior Brother Xue was of a respected status. If something unexpected happened, the master would not forgive him!
At this time, True Man Qingchen suddenly spoke.
"I will go with the envoy."
Su Yutong, who was next to True Man Qingchen, also said hurriedly.
"I'll go too."
She just saw that the situation was not right, and wanted to use the sound transmission jade slip to contact Duan Qing and Song Ling'er, but found that the marks of the two could not be activated. This made her feel very uneasy, so she also wanted to go with her master.
True Man Qingchen glanced at Su Yutong and did not object.
Young Master Xue was a little unhappy at this time. He didn't want to bring these burdens with him, so he wanted to speak out against it.
But he was preempted by Senior Brother Yu Ya, and heard Senior Brother make a prompt decision.
"That's very good, you go quickly and come back quickly."
After saying that, he signaled to Young Master Xue with his eyes that this was the case, no need to say more.
Senior Brother did this because he considered that it would be good to have two more people in to take care of him, and he was also worried that if Junior Brother Xue went in alone, leaving the six people in the Questioning Heart Realm of Xiaonan Realm outside, if they suddenly attacked him, although he was not afraid, he would definitely not be able to maintain the transmission channel, and Junior Brother Xue would be trapped inside.
If he lets the two of them go in with him, the pressure on him outside will be less. Besides, the entry of the two of them can also prevent those outside from acting rashly.
