"What are you looking at?"

Finally, Xie Baiyi found a gap and, regardless of the murderous attacks from all around him, he peeked out to take a look.

Before he could see clearly what was on it, he felt a sudden shock in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, a thought came to my mind.

Where did Gu Xia get this book? Why does it look so weird?

"Fuck."

Gu Xia didn't expect that he was so curious, and he came over to her without her noticing.

Because her consciousness was focused on quickly searching for something above, she could only temporarily raise her free hand, hold his chin and turn his face to the other side.

"Wait a minute, you can't look at this."

Gu Xia was really a little scared.

If a situation like Li Tingyun happens again, she will be really troubled.

Fortunately, Xie Baiyi was in a trance for a moment and did not struggle. He was dizzy and her head was pushed back.

She actually looked a little bit well-behaved and quiet.

Gu Xia: "..."

So what kind of underworld thing did the founder of Xuanming Sect pick up?

Even someone like Xie Baiyi couldn't stand it.

If it weren't for her broad sea of ​​consciousness and the fact that she was not easily deceived by illusions, she and Li Tingyun would have been killed in the library together, not to mention bringing the things back.

As expected of a big sect, none of the things left behind by the ancestors are ordinary.

Gu Xia complained a few words in his heart, but soon his eyes lit up.

"found it."

The snow-white pages of the book froze. Gu Xia had originally just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect that it would actually come in handy.

It seems that Xuanmingzong’s previous trip was not in vain.

She tapped the page with her fingertips and quickly scanned it, taking in all the few words written on it.

Then the tapping of the knuckles stopped.

——Ten turns of Yama’s killing formation.

Anyone who enters the battle array has a chance of death.

But there is a line of small words at the bottom.

It does not describe how this formation is full of murderous intent, but rather simply presents a method of escaping from the predicament.

The only way to get out of the formation alive is to exchange your life for another's.

No wonder.

The layer of mist that had always shrouded his eyes finally dissipated, and Gu Xia felt that the question that had been bothering him for a long time had finally been answered.

No wonder.

This formation was extremely dangerous. After she was locked in, neither the Fifth Elder who suddenly rebelled nor Qu Yimian who appeared later stepped into it.

Even though a few powerful demons came in later and wanted to take the opportunity to kill her, they obviously didn't know what this formation was used for, and it seemed that no one had told them.

In fact, even if they had not died at the hands of himself and Xie Baiyi just now, they would have died in the formation in the end.

The Fifth Elder and Qu Yimian thought they were the "oriole" behind the scenes, so they were naturally well aware of the power of the formation. Or perhaps, they simply didn't think Gu Xia could get out of it.

Because exchanging life for life also has a prerequisite.

If Gu Xia was the only one trapped, then there would be no one else inside the formation, and even if she had thousands of tricks, she would be helpless.

It doesn’t matter even if a few big demons follow in.

Not to mention that if it weren't for the trip to Xuanming Sect, even Gu Xia would not be able to determine what kind of killing formation he was in, let alone find a way to deal with it.

Even if we take a step back and think about it, there are other people in the formation besides her, but those are all demons. Even if they are lucky enough to figure out a way to break the formation in the end.

Neither Gu Xia nor the five demons would be so 'kind' as to sacrifice their own lives in exchange for their opponents' escape.

It's not like you got kicked in the head by a donkey.

I have to say that Qu Yimian's IQ is really online this time.

There are two paths, no matter which one Gu Xia chooses, the final outcome will be death.

Only when the clouds and mist are parted can the bright moon be seen.

After Gu Xia figured this out, she couldn't help but sigh twice.

Where on earth did Qu Yimian come up with so many underworld formations?

If the person to be killed was not herself, she would have admired the other party.

The formation is just as its name suggests, it contains murderous intent and is pressing step by step, as if you are trapped in hell.

Just like raising a Gu, only one of the two remaining people will have a chance of surviving.

However, Gu Xia personally tends to believe that Qu Yimian was just sitting on the mountain and watching the fight, letting her die in the formation with those big demons.

She probably didn't expect that Xie Baiyi would rush in from behind.

Gu Xia laughed coolly.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. You want to be the oriole, right?

But don't forget, there are people with slingshots waiting for an opportunity behind the oriole.

Xie Baiyi had been hit several times while dodging the dense rain of attacks. When he suddenly heard her say "found it", the boy's eyes lit up slightly.

"What should we do?" He landed beside Gu Xia, his clothes cut into a beggar's style. "You tell me, and I'll cooperate."

He didn't know what Gu Xia had found, but seeing the relaxed look on her face, he subconsciously chose to believe her.

Gu Xia stuffed the banned book into the mustard seed bag without showing any abnormality on her face. She was not afraid that Xie Baiyi would notice anything wrong.

What are you afraid of? He can't see it anyway.

Gu Xia had been running around aimlessly before, seemingly without any plan, but in fact he had already thoroughly understood the entire formation.

Her consciousness was sharp enough to detect several unusual subtle fluctuations, but it was difficult to see clearly at this angle.

Still need to go higher.

Gu Xia stepped on a rising stone spike and tried to use the force to jump onto the spirit sword, but the next second he was suppressed and fell down by a force.

Fortunately, she adjusted her posture in time, otherwise she might have been pierced.

Xie Baiyi noticed it and tried it too, falling down as well. He brushed off the dust on his body, seemingly calm but actually trying hard to hide his embarrassment by tightening his lips. "I can't fly a sword here."

He looked up and asked, "Are you going up?"

"Yeah." Gu Xia nodded, frowned and thought hard for a while, and suddenly noticed the wind blade thrown by Xie Baiyi.

Her eyes immediately lit up.

"Come here first." Gu Xia couldn't wait to grab the person and pointed upwards, "I need you to use your wind spirit root to send me up."

Xie Baiyi: "?"

He was very surprised. "I have never tried this method."

His wind was always used as a weapon to kill people, but this was the first time it was used in such a strange place.

Gu Xia didn't care about that. "It doesn't matter. I believe you won't let me down."

She encouraged Xie Baiyi with a few words.

The boy's expression suddenly became serious. He didn't expect that Gu Xia trusted him so much.

The wind blades dispersed and gathered, appearing at Gu Xia's feet, gently lifting him up, leaving the ground and moving higher and higher.

Gu Xia only felt a few shakes at the beginning, and perhaps it was because Xie Baiyi was not proficient in the business, so it calmed down afterwards.

The breeze lent her strength and carried her to the top.

It turns out that the saying "the higher you stand, the farther you can see" is true.

Gu Xia was looking down from above, too busy to feel the novelty. Her eyes swept across several directions that she had noticed. She used the wind from her sword to temporarily block the attacks coming towards her, and then she sent out several streams of spiritual power one after another, causing the ground to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, there was a bright light. Xie Baiyi's body was very steady, but he was pierced by the light and inevitably closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he curiously noticed something sealed under the formation. He looked around and found that the same thing was found in every place where there was light.

Only the very center is extremely dim.

From Gu Xia's perspective, she could naturally see more clearly. She quickly identified the things sealed in those locations, and could feel their compelling spiritual energy even through the restrictions of the formation.

The next second, Gu Xia's gaze focused slightly on one spot.

That is... the mermaid pearl.

She had personally participated in the melee among the mermaids, and naturally had witnessed what the mermaid pearls looked like.

Now that it has appeared here, the identities of the things placed in other locations are obvious.

Most likely, these are things that the demons have secretly collected over the past hundred years and taken from the so-called lucky clan.

Gu Xia even saw a familiar scale at the easternmost point.

The texture is exactly the same as that of the little black dragon she raised after it grew bigger. It is dragon scales.

But it was a golden dragon scale.

Since it is used in the formation, with such a dazzling color, it is probably not an ordinary scale.

Even though Gu Xia didn't know much about the dragon race, he had heard a saying.

Dragons have reverse scales, which will kill you if you touch them.

She guessed that it might be a reverse scale.

I just don't know which dragon it was pulled from, and there are dried blood on the edges.

It seems like it's been a long time.

There is no need to look at the others too much; just a glance is enough to see the bloodstains flowing inside.

It seemed that the demons had been preparing for this matter for a long time. She knew with her toes that they would not use very gentle means.

These things are the result of the karma they have created over hundreds of years.

Even though the spiritual energy is rich, it cannot cover up the evil spirit below, which is the drops of blood and tears gathered from countless clans.

It’s a pity that the Demon Lord probably never dreamed that after all his scheming, in the end, all the benefits would go to Qu Yimian.

Gu Xia thought of this with a touch of irony, his eyes drooping slightly.

She calmed herself down and noticed that all directions were connected and vaguely pointed towards the center.

And that position...seems to be still empty.
