Lu Feng and Tang Yuan listened carefully to Qu Jiaojiao's statement and already had some guesses in their minds.

Shortly after the lunar eclipse phenomenon occurred, a brief red moon phenomenon did appear for a period of time before it subsided. Qu Jiaojiao should have woken up during that period.

The entrance to the secret realm above the green lake is not open early or late. The fact that it is opened at this moment is most likely related to the lunar eclipse. Perhaps it can only be summoned when the spiritual pressure is extremely turbid and low.

Combined with the illusory formation used to cover it, such an entrance will definitely not be opened by the secret realm independently, but artificially.

This also means that the person who opened it must have calculated the node where the lunar eclipse phenomenon may occur, and then sneaked into this place in advance and set up a formation to hide it.

If it hadn't been broken through by chance and the entrance disappeared at dawn, such a secret place would have been captured silently by the intruder.

And the one who can do all this...

Lu Feng and Tang Yuan both thought of the figures of the Holy Sect.

Yue Yan, Li Taiyuan and the younger brother they mentioned probably appeared in the Xuanyu realm for this purpose.

On the surface, it was to participate in the formation competition, but in fact, it was for the secret realm of Bihu.

As for Sima Ye and his ilk, the reason why they were the first to break in after a disagreement...

Judging from the Jiangnan flowers on the lake and the fact that Sima Ye has been a member of Jiangnan City for generations, he may have ancestral information and know the reason for the appearance of such a secret realm or the specific origin of the secret realm.

The subsequent intruders, Murong Yu, Ye Lingfei and others, seemed not to be based on any friendship, but they had guessed Sima Ye's intention, and were unwilling to let one of them get the opportunity, so they broke in, hoping to get a share of the pie.

And this kind of news may be related to what Sima Ye said to Qian Meng Fu'er in Xiaoyao Pavilion. Only in such a secret environment did Qian Meng agree to come forward to help resolve the dispute about the bet.

As for Xia Yiyun, it is very possible that she accidentally heard such news on the way and was kidnapped and taken away, so as to prevent it from being leaked.

The person who held her hostage was most likely the one who opened the entrance and broke into the secret realm!

Being so cautious means that the secret realm is definitely not under their control, and they are afraid of being coveted by others.

So thinking.

Lu Feng and the other two were much less wary of the secret realm in front of them;

After looking at each other, they protected Qu Jiaojiao and jumped towards the center of the green lake.

The moment they approached the strange eyes on the water, the three of them felt a strong pulling force that seemed to swallow them up.

Following this pulling force, what you encountered felt a bit like some ancient teleportation array, and you were instantly enveloped by a pure energy.

After being drawn into the portal, the environment suddenly became extremely dark, except for a group of light shining in each of the four corners.

It seems that it may be the four teleportation openings set up in this secret realm.

Lu Feng had been protecting Qu Jiaojiao with his own aura, and he could clearly feel a gravitational force pulling her closer to the light group on the other side.

But he and Tang Yuan were leaning towards the completely opposite place.

Due to his previous request for protection, Lu Feng resolutely offset the pull on himself and followed Qu Jiaojiao's direction to meet her.

This kind of gravitational force is not too strong, it is comparable to the strength at the earth soul level. Even if the Five Elements and Five Qi Realm soul masters break in, they should be able to resist it with enough strength and choose the light group they want to get close to.

This also means that if you break into such a secret realm, you won't be scattered too far, and the soul masters of various sects can still gather together.

If Xia Yiyun was really kidnapped and came here, I'm afraid it would still be difficult to escape after entering the secret realm.

Everyone pressed against the light group in response to the power of teleportation. Suddenly, they felt a burst of dazzling light coming towards them.

The moment he opened his eyes again, he found that he was under a city wall.

Unlike the expected ancient ruins, the scene in front of me looked like it was just an ordinary city.

"Old Lu," Tang Yuan's startled voice sounded, "look at the top of the city wall..."

Lu Feng looked in shock and saw two simple and huge characters written by Hao Ran on the city wall - 'Jiang Nan'.

Tang Yuan asked in surprise: "Could it be that we were teleported back to Jiangnan City? That weird eye on the green lake is a teleportation array?"

Lu Feng secretly felt it, and a look of shock flashed across his face: "It's not Jiangnan City today. Look at this city wall. It's obviously much newer than the Jiangnan City we went to. And although the spiritual energy here is turbid, it's very thick. I'm afraid

…”

Lu Feng hesitated and expressed his suspicion, "We were transported to Jiangnan City hundreds or even thousands of years ago."

Qu Jiaojiao covered her dazed head and said in shock: "What teleportation array is so powerful? Can it be teleported across time?"

Lu Feng corrected: "It's not a leap, but someone brought Jiangnan City, which was hundreds of thousands of years old, into Xumi using an unimaginable and terrifying method, creating a secret space. I'm afraid the Jiangnan City that exists in the current world is

It was rebuilt on the ruins that had been collected away."

Tang Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was amazed and said, "Is there really such an incredible method in the world? Is this something that human beings can do?"

Lu Feng analyzed: "It is definitely difficult to do it with human strength alone, but if we take advantage of the lunar eclipse phenomenon... we may have a chance to achieve this scene of creation."

"If that's the case," Tang Yuan was surprised: "Doesn't it mean that Jiangnan City here was gathered together during the last lunar eclipse?"

Lu Feng thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be the last time. Judging from the lack of rumors from the outside world, the time seems to be much longer. Perhaps it is what happened when a certain lunar eclipse phenomenon appeared in the long history;"

"And this should not be accomplished by one person. Behind the powerful force that gathered and created this secret realm, there must be help from outside forces, so that after the entire Jiangnan City disappeared, they could cover up the news and create an identical city.

"

Tang Yuan suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Old Lu, do you still remember the legendary story about Jiangnan Flower?"

Qu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, "You mean... this place was created by the legendary power who planted the whole city with crimson flowers for love?"

Tang Yuan nodded.

Lu Feng nodded after thinking. At present, this explanation seems to be the most likely.

"We should be in the eastern area of ​​the outer city at the moment," Tang Yuan drew two circles, one large and one small, on the ground as he spoke, with the larger circle outside the smaller circle;

"When I was handling the commission at the inn, I saw a structural map of Jiangnan City that they hung on the wall. I think it should be very different from the Jiangnan City in this secret realm;"

"Jiannan City is a little different from ordinary towns. It is divided into inner and outer cities. The outer city is mostly built with residential buildings, private schools, breeding grounds, martial arts venues and even cemeteries."

"The inner city is more focused on lifestyle, with many markets from east to west, north and south, covering post shops, restaurants, teahouses, inns, etc."

"In the most central area of ​​the inner city, there is a flower bed. I heard the innkeeper mention that there is a spiritual spring under the flower bed, which runs through the entire Jiangnan City. The reason why the flowers bloom all over the city is to a large extent.

It is caused by the nourishment of spiritual essence emanating from underground spiritual springs.”

When Qu Jiaojiao heard this, something suddenly occurred to her. She looked around and exclaimed in surprise: "But here...how come you can't see a single crimson flower?"

Lu Feng said in a deep voice: "Not only are there no purple nan flowers, I can't even find half an ant. It's like a dead land without life."

When Tang Yuan heard this, his soul consciousness secretly sensed outwards. He originally wanted to sense the scene in Jiangnan City, but found that it only spread for 180 meters, and felt that there was a resistance for no reason, and it was difficult to spread further.

I couldn't help but be very surprised, "The environment here is not only very turbid in spiritual energy, but also has a great suppressive power on soul consciousness."

"Just walk over there," Lu Feng gestured: "Go to the center of the city and have a look. To maintain the balance of such a large secret space, the simplest and most common core is often located in the most central area."

Tang Yuan agreed: "There are no purple nan flowers here, and there may not be flower beds in the central area. The resource treasures in the secret realm here may be hidden there."

The moment the three of them moved toward the inner city.

A sudden shocking sound came from the southern area of ​​the outer city.

Lu Feng and Tang Yuan glanced at each other, and both realized that the sound was the sound caused by the breaking of the fighting formation.

"Look for it and have a look!"

Although Lu Feng was worried about Xia Yiyun's safety, he was also very concerned about Qian Xin's situation due to the unclear situation;

He knew that Qian Xin followed Qian Meng to Bihu Ridge last night, but there was no sign of her in the outside world. It was very likely that she came here together.

…

The fact was exactly as Lu Feng expected.

At this moment, outer city, southern area.

Gan Meng, Gan Xin and Xiao Yixue were huddled in embarrassment behind a dilapidated tile house.

Qian Meng had many scars on his body and his breath was very weak;

Both Qian Xin and Xiao Yixue are more or less talented.

The previous commotion was caused by the Tianpin formation set up by Qian Meng being destroyed by Jiu Ren from the same sect and Tian Lingzi and others from Linglong Pavilion;

"I'm afraid I can't hold it any longer," Qian Meng's eyes were bloodshot with a hint of anger, "I didn't expect that old man to have no regard for the friendship between his fellow students."

As he spoke, he took off the Na ring on his hand and handed it to Qian Xin.

"Inside are my life savings, various classics within the sect, as well as the part of the 'Yongyan Gold Stone' that I obtained earlier. You must protect it, leave here alive, and hand it over to the old sect master;"

"Don't let that old man Jiuren get hold of him and tell his evil deeds to the whole family. Don't let him take the position of deputy sect leader!"

Qian Meng held Qian Xin's hand tightly, his tone firm and decisive.

"I will use my last breath to intercept them as much as possible. You and Xiaoxue run away for your lives."

"No, I won't leave," Qian Xin shook his head repeatedly with red eyes, "You were once my master, and now you are also my most respected teacher. Xin'er will take you out of here alive no matter what."

Xiao Yixue lowered her head hesitantly. Although she wanted to escape based on instinct, she couldn't bear to do such a ruthless thing and left Gan Meng, her savior, to escape alone.

"Go, go quickly, otherwise no one can leave!"

Gan Meng's face turned red with anger, and he pushed Gan Xing away.

"Ah!"
