Chapter 1019 The Man in the Stone Pillar
Unlike the bustle below the mountain, Xuanyu Square was quiet and silent, with only a dead silence.
Five days had passed since he sneaked into Ganxu Gate. In recent days, Ye Chunyang and Zhao Yan took turns to guard the barrier of Xuanyu Square every day. This place has always been the same. Except for the powerful fluctuations of the ban, there were no other abnormalities.
It was late at night.
Ye Chunyang sat cross-legged on a platform not far from the square, staring at the light curtain on it, with a slightly deep look.
"After these few days of investigation, although my spiritual consciousness can penetrate the barrier of the square, it cannot break through the seal of the stone pillar. Although this matter should not be rushed, time is tight and I have no choice but to try it forcefully."
Staring at the light shield in front of him that was fluctuating like water ripples, Ye Chunyang muttered to himself in his heart, and then his mind moved, and Xiaobao appeared invisibly behind him.
With the urging of the soul-refining technique, the soul quietly changed its body, and Ye Chunyang leaned towards the light curtain with Xiaobao's body, while the main body remained in place motionless, maintaining the appearance of guarding this place.
Approaching the light shield, Ye Chunyang pinched his fingers together, and a sword energy shot out. A hole was immediately cut in the light shield in front of him, and his figure easily passed through it, and then it quickly closed.
Looking back at the light shield that had returned to its original state, Ye Chunyang sneered, "I was right. This light shield is condensed by demonic energy. My Qingtian Xuanhuo Sword is the nemesis of this kind, and it can be easily broken."
Seeing that no one was alarmed, Ye Chunyang's figure flashed forward and fled wildly.
There were hundreds of stone pillars in the square, and demonic energy surged on them. Flying to the middle of these stone pillars with an invisible body, Ye Chunyang released his spiritual sense to sense for a while, and suddenly his heart moved.
"It turns out that there is another space in these stone pillars, like a cage. It seems that if I want to explore the secrets, I can only find out by trying to enter it." Ye Chunyang looked thoughtful.
These few days, I have only been observing from the outside. Now I find that each stone pillar here has a space. Such a scene reminded him of the space restriction he encountered in Penglai Fairy Island in Tianxing Sea, which was also so strange.
But in comparison, this place is far less than one-tenth of Penglai Fairy Island, so it should not be difficult to crack it.
Ye Chunyang thought about it for a moment, raised his hands, and dense sword lights surrounded him, locking onto a stone pillar in front and shooting away. There were only a few muffled sounds, and the demonic energy in the stone pillar dissipated, and the seal restriction was swept away.
Seeing the restriction being lifted so easily, Ye Chunyang was a little surprised, but without hesitation, he turned into a spiritual light and rushed straight to the stone pillar.
A dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes. After rushing into the stone pillar, Ye Chunyang did not have any obstacles. The next moment, a dark space appeared in front of him. The range was not large, but it seemed as lifeless as the void world.
At this moment, Ye Chunyang's eyes focused and found that a light was faintly visible in the depths of this space, like a chain, and a figure was trapped inside, but he was already dead, and it was obvious that he was trapped here alive.
Ye Chunyang frowned in his heart, and after seeing that this person was not the one he was looking for, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and flew out of this place without stopping, and returned to Xuanyu Square.
"It seems that it is true as they said, this is the place where Ganxumen detains serious criminals, but judging from the end of that person, most of the people imprisoned here are in danger." Thinking in his heart, Ye Chunyang broke the magic seal of a stone pillar again and escaped into it again.
The result was the same scene as before, with a person trapped inside, but he had already become a dead body.
Helplessly, Ye Chunyang had to continue exploring.
There are hundreds of sealed stone pillars here, and it takes a lot of effort to check them one by one. Moreover, after a thorough investigation, it was found that there was no living person inside, which made Ye Chunyang feel even more depressed.
"Could it be that someone in Ganxu Sect used these death row prisoners to practice some kind of evil magic."
After several investigations, Ye Chunyang found some clues from these dead bodies.
These corpses were as thin as dry wood, and it seemed that their vitality had been drained away. If Ye Chunyang was not mistaken, they should have been hit by some evil method, and their true essence was forcibly extracted.
Only the evil magic of the magic way can be so insidious and vicious.
I don't know who in Ganxu Sect has practiced such a vicious method.
Although it is a good thing that Luo Qingcheng has not been found yet, as more and more dead bodies are found in the stone pillars, he feels uneasy in his heart, fearing that Luo Qingcheng has also encountered something unexpected.
However, when he finished investigating all the sealed stone pillars here, he became confused.
There was no trace of Luo Qingcheng in these stone pillars.
"Where did Taoist Wu lock Luo'er up? Luo'er's consciousness is asleep and cannot sense the body. If this continues, it will be difficult to find useful clues." Ye Chun frowned.
After a moment, he looked up at the stone pillar in front of him. This was the last sealed stone pillar in the entire Xuanyu Square. If there was no news about Luo Qingcheng in it, the next plan would have to change.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunyang flashed again, broke the seal on the stone pillar and quietly entered it.
The space of this last stone pillar was no different from what he had seen before. The sky above was still as dark as night, and the bottom was like ripples of flowing water, twisting constantly. The only difference was that the space here seemed to be wider than other places, and the fluctuations of the seal seemed to be stronger.
But it still failed to prevent Ye Chunyang from entering.
However, when Ye Chunyang entered this place, a trace of doubt flashed across his face. There was no dead body here like in other places. Instead, it was empty without a single figure, and there was not even a forbidden chain.
"It seems that no one has been detained here yet." Ye Chunyang thought about it, and planned to leave without any gain.
At this moment, he raised his eyebrows and a cold look flashed in his eyes. The sword energy in his sleeves was as fast as lightning and slashed in a certain direction. Suddenly, there was a continuous sound of spiritual light bursting.
But the next scene surprised Ye Chunyang slightly. The flying swords fell, and thin golden rays shot out from them. All the flying swords were bounced back. Then a figure appeared out of thin air, staring at him with a strange face.
Ye Chunyang's face changed slightly.
This person was a young man with a fair face and unusual appearance. He even had a bit of enchantment. He was a handsome man, but after he appeared, there was a flash of talisman light around him, as if he was trapped in some kind of talisman array, and his body could not move a step.
"Who are you? You don't have the aura of Ganxu Sect's skills on you. Could you be a foreign cultivator?" The young cultivator looked at Ye Chunyang in surprise. He had a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, and the black and white pupils revealed a bit of mystery.
Compared with this demon-like man, Ye Chunyang's appearance at this moment seemed ordinary.
"Who are you?" He also stared at the other party with his eyes narrowed, and a chill rose in his heart.
In the previous fight, he found that this person's cultivation was not inferior to his own. Today, no one can make him afraid except for the late Yuanying cultivators. This person's magic power is still not inferior to his when he is trapped. I'm afraid he has a deep Taoism.
"Okay, okay, my name is Lingfeng. The fact that you can sneak into this place shows that you have extraordinary magical powers. And if I'm not wrong, you should not be in the same group with Ganxu Sect, right?" The young man looked at Ye Chunyang with a smile, but he didn't seem to be hostile at all.
"Whether I am from Ganxu Sect or not, what does it have to do with you? I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." Ye Chunyang glanced at the man and found that he was indeed trapped in the talisman array and couldn't get out. He felt relieved, sneered, and turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Daoyou, please stay!"
The young man suddenly became anxious and called out.
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, turned his head and said calmly, "Daoyou, what do you want?"
"Your invisible body is quite amazing. You sneaked into this place with such a magic. It shows that you want to find something without alarming Ganxu Sect, right?" The young man chuckled and looked at Ye Chunyang with a meaningful look.
Ye Chunyang's eyes turned cold. This person actually saw his invisible body, and it seemed that he was not an ordinary person.
The young man ignored his vigilance, smiled lightly, and said: "Although I am irreconcilable with Ganxu Sect, I know a lot about this sect. If you want to find someone here, I may be able to help you."
"What do you mean?" Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows slightly.
This person is very mysterious, and the seal that trapped him is different from other stone pillar corpses, which shows that there is another secret. Ye Chunyang will not trust him easily.
"Whether you believe it or not, as long as the person you are looking for is in Ganxu Sect, I will definitely help you find him." The young man smiled confidently and said: "But the premise is that you need to help me leave here."
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang crossed his arms and looked at this person lightly, and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" The young man's face sank.
"Nothing, I just think you are good at talking nonsense, but why do you think I believe you? And can I definitely help you get out of trouble?" Ye Chunyang said with a smile.
The young man was stunned for a moment, but his face remained confident. He said, "I am not lying to you. I am sealed in the last stone pillar of Xuanyu Square. You found this place, which means that the person you are looking for has not been found. But you probably don't know that the Taoist Wu of Ganxu Gate has another secret place, where many people with special souls have been imprisoned for many years. I guess the person you are looking for is also among them?"
Ye Chunyang's originally calm expression finally changed after the young man's words.
He stared at this person and remained silent for a long time.
"Hehe, to be honest with you, there are not many people in the world who know about the secret place of Taoist Wu. It happens that I am one of them. If you rescue me from this place, I can help you achieve your wish." The young man said temptingly.
Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes and did not answer.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "This talisman formation is very serious. How can I help you leave this place?"
Hearing this, the young man showed joy and said: "Don't worry, Taoist friend, although I have been trapped here for a long time, I have not wasted my time. Over the years, I have studied the method to crack this talisman formation. Taoist friend only needs to help a little bit to succeed."
