Chapter 1676: Calls for help failed, what about the two old men? (2)
This mountain range is deserted and naturally no one has destroyed it, which has led to the trees growing wildly. The trees are much taller than those in other places, and their branches and leaves are more lush.
The trees, which have grown for hundreds of thousands... or even millions of years, have broad crowns that are intertwined with each other, as if they had formed an impenetrable shield in the air. Not even the sunlight can easily penetrate, and only a few spots of light fall around.
In the dark and gloomy dense forest, Xu Yeming, Ye Qiubai and the three elders all stopped.
After hearing this, how could the Great Elder not understand the meaning of Xu Yeming's words?
He turned around and looked at Xu Yeming, still smiling faintly, and said, "So, nephew Xu is suspicious of me?"
Xu Yeming did not hide it and nodded, "Of course I doubt it. After all, the Great Elder has not done anything to make me believe you, and I am not naive enough to believe a few words to make me trust you."
The Great Elder chuckled, lowered his head slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes. "If I wanted to attack you because of your identity, why would I spend so much effort to take you away from the pursuit of the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Family?"
"Shouldn't this approach make things even more difficult for me? I might even be hunted down by the Xu and Xuanyuan families."
Xu Yeming spread his hands and said, "I don't know this either, so I wanted to ask you, the Great Elder."
"But according to my guess, the Fourth Elder is on the side of the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Family. Although your position is different from that of the Fourth Elder, you must also want to get something from me, right? If the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Family get there first, you won't get what you want. My guess should be correct, right?"
Ok.
This was also guessed by the pastor brother based on the information provided by Xu Yeming.
Unexpectedly, the Great Elder suddenly covered his face and laughed, and his laughter became more and more wanton and arrogant!
It’s time to reveal your true colors. Stop pretending, right?
The Great Elder looked around and then murmured, "Whatever, we've already entered the area..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming both frowned, with serious expressions.
The Qingyun Sword instantly appeared in Ye Qiubai's hand. He held the hilt in one hand and the scabbard in the other, ready to draw the Qingyun Sword at any time.
Xu Yeming held the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his left hand and the Tianhuang Yuling Pen in the other.
And right now.
I saw the great elder throwing out a scroll, and with a wave of his hand, the scroll spread out!
It was a formation scroll, and this formation was obviously very large. After the scroll was fully unfolded, it actually swirled around the great elder three times.
Without any pause, the Great Elder opened his palm and slammed it hard on the center of the formation scroll.
A black light that seemed to come from the underworld bloomed in all directions!
"Shentian Phantom Light Array!"
Following the great elder's angry shout, the scattered dim light turned into thick tentacles, which began to entwine and intertwine crazily with the three people as the center.
At this moment, the last ray of light completely disappeared.
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming were both plunged into darkness.
It was not ordinary darkness. Even if one used one's mind and the power of the soul to sense the surroundings, it was still darkness!
Followed by a snap of fingers.
Clusters of white flames were burning one after another around them.
The faint white firelight at least provided some light to this dark space.
The Great Elder stood in front of the two of them and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Nephew Xu's intuition would be so accurate."
Xu Yeming didn't say anything, but thought to himself.
The pastor's intuition is really accurate.
Ye Qiubai on the side took out a jade pendant.
The Great Elder sneered upon seeing this and said, “Don’t even think about it. I spent a huge amount of money to prepare the Shentian Phantom Light Formation. Even the Purple Fire Domain God can’t sense the aura in the formation in a short period of time.”
In other words, it can be sensed above the Domain God Realm, right?
Ye Qiubai put away the jade pendant and thought to himself that there should be no problem in contacting his master, but now was not the right time and there was no need for his master to do it personally.
"I would like to ask, when did Nephew Xu confirm that you and I are enemies?" asked the Great Elder.
Xu Yeming shrugged and said, "I have always had suspicions, but I have to say that the Great Elder hid it very well when we were in the academy, and there were no flaws."
“So we followed the intention of the Fourth Elder, with the goal of bringing out the threat hidden in the dark.”
That's right.
Xu Yeming and his men did not confront them head-on, but first used the Heavenly Thunder Escape Talisman to distance themselves from them, and then lured out those who might still be hiding in the dark.
This was exactly the plan Xu Yeming had come up with.
After all, if the Xu family and the Xuanyuan family were to besiege him, and if there were other people hiding in the dark who wanted to take action against Xu Yeming, it would not be convenient for them to take action.
Therefore, when planning, Mu Fusheng suggested that they keep as much distance as possible from each other.
As Xu Yeming spoke, the Great Elder's expression became more and more surprised.
"When it was finally confirmed, the Great Elder suddenly appeared here and sent Qiwu and the others away on the pretext of hiding their aura and acting separately."
The Great Elder's face looked a little ugly. Since the other party had noticed something, it meant that they had already prepared countermeasures.
"Since you had already realized my identity at that time, why did you agree to let those people from the Qilin clan leave and follow me?"
Xu Yeming spread his hands and said, "Didn't I tell you that our goal is to lure you out, that is, to understand some things."
The great elder sneered: "Oh? With your strength, you think you can get information out of me? The elders of the Xu family are right. Xu Canghai's son has inherited his arrogance and conceit!"
"Who said we were here to get information?" Xu Yeming raised his lips and said with a wicked smile, "You know it yourself. Since we dared to follow you, we must be prepared."
Then, he shouted towards the sky: "Senior, it's your turn!"
The Great Elder's face changed drastically and he immediately looked around, releasing his spiritual power to the extreme!
but……
Three breaths of time passed.
There was only the crackling sound of the white flame swaying around, nothing else.
Xu Yeming's expression froze for a moment, and he shouted in disbelief, "Senior, don't hide! If you don't come out, we'll be beaten to death!"
Another five breaths passed.
The tension and solemnity on the Great Elder's face began to slowly disappear, and he looked at Xu Yeming with a playful expression.
Xu Yeming's face had turned dark.
Ye Qiubai also smiled bitterly helplessly.
What happened?
The Great Elder clenched his hands slightly at this moment, and a huge aura began to fill this dark and enclosed space.
"It seems that your backhand seems to have no way of sensing your position. That's right, after all, it's the Shentian Youguang Formation."
Xu Yeming looked at Ye Qiubai.
Ye Qiubai looked at Xu Yeming.
Everyone seems to be asking.
what's going on?
Where are Senior Xuanzhu and Dean Cangxuan? !
Didn't we say that we would protect them from the dark and let them do what they want?!
As expected, fairy tales are all lies... I can’t believe a single word these two old men say from now on!
