Chapter 370 The Great Array of the Furnace of Heaven and Earth
Xiao Heng went out to the gate of the small courtyard and saw Liu Piaopiao pointing at Ji Qingyi with his sword. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and block Ji Qingyi's front and said:
"What are you doing? She is my friend. Do you don't believe me? Since you don't believe me, why are you asking me to come back?"
Liu Piaopiao put away her long sword and said, "Xiao Heng, don't get me wrong. Of course we believe you. To be honest, we sensed a strange aura from her. We had to be careful, just test her."
"Xiao Heng, you also know that at this time, we cannot have any negligence."
Gongsun Changsong stared at Ji Qingyi coldly. He just asked Ji Qingyi many questions, and Ji Qingyi answered too easily and casually, which made her even more suspicious of Ji Qingyi.
If an ordinary woman was pointed at her forehead with a sword and questioned like this, it would be impossible to be so calm and composed.
Faced with the questioning of Gongsun Changsong and Liu Piaopiao, Ji Qingyi was so calm that she was definitely not as simple as ordinary casual cultivators she said.
However, in front of Xiao Heng, Gongsun Changsong didn't want to do too out of order, so he didn't do anything to Ji Qingyi. After all, this was the person brought back by Xiao Heng, and he was still counting on Xiao Heng to re-arrange the formation.
Xiao Heng saw the suspicion of Gongsun Changsong and Liu Piaopiao for Ji Qingyi, protected Ji Qingyi behind him, and said seriously: "She is the one I brought back. If she does something sorry for Tianyang Sect, I will be responsible. Of course, if you don't believe me, I will take her away immediately."
After hearing this, Ji Qingyi grabbed Xiao Heng's wrist and a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting and no one noticed it.
Gongsun Changsong's face relaxed a lot, and he said to Xiao Heng: "Since you said that, we certainly believe you. Time is tight, I will take you underground immediately and must find a way to re-arrange the formation. If we cannot set up a new formation, we can only move out of this place before the demon dragon is born."
After saying that, Ji Qingyi flew to a high mountain deep in the Tianyang Gate with Xiao Heng and Liu Piaopiao.
The mountain is full of strange rocks, and the magic fog is heavier than other places. The howling wind makes people shudder.
Gongsun Changsong landed next to a pile of rocks. With a wave of his right hand, the stone in front of him moved away, and a bottomless black hole appeared in front of him.
"Just inside, come in with me." Gongsun Changsong pointed at Ji Qingyi and said in an undisobedient tone: "You can't go in, you can only wait here. Also, don't walk around. If you leave this place and have an accident, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Xiao Heng could sense that the entire Tianyang Gate's demonic energy was pouring out from the entrance of this cave, so he said to Ji Qingyi: "You wait for me here, don't leave."
Ji Qingyi's lips moved, and he was about to say something, but Xiao Heng had already flew into the hole with Gongsun Changsong and Liu Piaopiao.
"Is it really you?" Ji Qingyi said to himself, then looked around.
At this time, Xiao Heng followed Gongsun Changsong to a depth of several thousand meters underground. There was an empty cave under his feet, and there was a blood pool under the ground. Blood bubbles were coming out of the blood pool, as if it was boiling.
The walls of the caves on all sides are engraved with strange-shaped array patterns, and above the blood pool, ninety glowing stone beads are suspended. The ninety stone beads have complex light connections to each other, making them form a furnace-like pattern.
Xiao Heng looked around and said, "This formation is very complicated. It will take some time to study it thoroughly."
"According to the classics left by Tianyang Gate, this big array is called the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Array."
Gongsun Changsong pointed to the stone beads floating in the air and continued:
"When these stone beads were intact, there were a total of 108 stone beads, which were the eyes of the formation. This was not an ordinary night pearl, but a stone bead that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Each stone bead is equivalent to a powerful spirit gathering array.
This formation relies on these stone beads to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, strengthen the power of the formation, and suppress the demon dragon under the blood pool."
Gongsun Changsong glanced around, his face changed drastically, and he said nervously: "I came down to see it last night. There were ninety-three stone beads, but now there are only ninety left? Judging from the speed of the demon dragon destroying the formation, it is impossible for him to destroy three stone beads overnight, which does not agree with common sense!"
He pointed to the surrounding hole walls and said, "There are also these array patterns, which were not like this before, and it made people erase some of them!"
Xiao Heng and Liu Piaopiao looked at each other, and were shocked to the point of being beyond words.
"Sir, will there be outsiders who sneak into the Tianyang Sect and deliberately destroy the formation and want to release the demon dragon?" Xiao Heng asked. He had just returned to Tianyang Sect today and didn't know much about the situation of Tianyang Sect.
Gongsun Changsong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:
"Impossible. Tianyang Sect has been heavily guarded these days, and it is impossible for outsiders to sneak in. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have discovered it for Zhang Bailin as soon as possible when you first went up the mountain.
Also, even if someone sneaks into Tianyang Gate, he will not be able to come here. There are many formations around the cave, and only one way can enter the cave, which is the route I took you to fly just now.
If you are an outsider and don’t know the route to enter the cave, you will definitely trigger the formation and it is impossible to enter the cave.
Take a step back and say, if an outsider really enters the cave, how could he just destroy some of the formation patterns and stone beads? If you want to release the demon dragon, you can directly destroy all the stone beads, why bother with such an effort?”
After listening to Gongsun Changsong's analysis, Xiao Heng and Liu Piaopiao nodded at the same time, thinking it made sense.
"In this way, it must be our own people." Liu Piaopiao clenched her fists and said angrily.
Gongsun Changsong's face looked extremely ugly and said, "I think I know who did the good thing."
"Who?" Liu Piaopiao asked.
"If I was not mistaken, it should be that old Zhang Bailin! He just made a bet with Xiao Heng that the formation was destroyed. Who else except him?" Gongsun Changsong said gritting his teeth.
"If it was him, he would never let him go! In order to target Xiao Heng, he actually did such a thing and abandoned the lives of tens of thousands of disciples of our Tianyang Sect. He ignored his tens of thousands of years of foundation, and deserved to die!"
Liu Piaopiao was furious.
"Don't worry about him for now, I will settle the score with him." Gongsun Changsong looked at Xiao Heng and said solemnly: "Now the formation has been destroyed. Is there any way for you to repair the formation or imitate a new formation?"
Xiao Heng carefully observed for a while, and then took out the "Infinite Formation" to study it carefully. Unfortunately, no formation in the "Infinite Formation" is the same as the "Heaven and Earth Furnace Array", and there is not even a formation with half the similarity.
"It's very difficult." Xiao Heng's words made Gongsun Changsong and Liu Piaopiao's hearts almost chill.
If even Xiao Heng could not repair the formation or imitate a new formation and let the demon dragon break through the formation, the place of Tianyangmen would not be able to stay there anymore and would be forced to migrate.
The Tianyangmen family has great business, so how easy is it to migrate!
"Humble humans, don't try to strengthen the formation! Wait until I come out and wash the Tianyang Gate bloody!"
Suddenly, a thick sound came from the blood pool, like thousands of thunders in the sound of heaven, shaking the cave rumbling, and a large stone fell from the top of the cave.
