C3650 The Blood Mantis Reappeared
Daoist Fresh Breeze didn't tell Jiang Ting who the old ancestor of the Purple Frost Sect was. Instead, he gave a vague and profound order.
After saying that, he revealed an inexplicable smile to Jiang Ting. Without waiting for an answer, he cut off the message.
Jiang Ting was slightly startled, and then he reacted... Profound Thunder Sect. Daoist Fresh Breeze was talking about the Profound Thunder Sect.
Because of the danger of the bait, if he concealed his identity and went to retrieve the lightning, even if it caused the 100,000-mile radius of the Mountains and Seas to be overturned, Giant Imperial Gate would still hold it in.
The six sects and six sects were all one of the six sects, and would give each other face.
As the bait, he would head to the Demon Slayer City to make it easier for the others to get rid of the demons. Naturally, the Giant Fault Sect would not have the face to cause him any trouble...
The matters in the world were also miraculous. Not long ago, the Giant Fault Sect would make a huge fuss over 100,000 lives. But now, even if he caused the mountains and rivers within 100,000 miles to collapse, as long as he did not show himself, the Giant Fault Sect would pretend that they did not see him.
"Interesting..." Accompanied by a whisper that no one could hear, Jiang Ting's figure moved and merged into the ground like flowing water, disappearing without a trace.
Since Daoist Qing Feng said that the treasure was underground, he would go underground to take a look. Furthermore, Daoist Qing Feng didn't mention the location. It was likely that he would be able to find it easily after going deeper.
As for whether he would take the lightning or not, Jiang Ting hadn't decided yet. He would take a look at the lightning first before making a decision.
To him, it also had a value.
If the lightning was worth it, he would take it if he did not care about the mountains and rivers within a hundred thousand miles. In the blink of an eye, the world would change, and the lives within a hundred thousand miles would be destroyed.
If it was not worth it... then it would be fine if he did not take it.
About an hour later.
Jiang Ting estimated that he had dived about seven hundred miles.
He had planned to dive a thousand miles to see if he could find anything wrong. He did not expect to find something strange after only seven hundred miles.
There was a tunnel.
He did not know when that passageway had been opened underground, so he did not know where it led to. The only thing he could discover was that he could not enter the passageway. There was a formation protecting the outer side of the passageway.
He couldn't see the sun, but he could see some lightning bolts in the tunnel... and the lightning aura he had sensed in the Profound Thunder Sect had become much stronger.
Even without Daoist Fresh Breeze's reminder, he could still react... There was something wrong with this place! The lightning that had been ripped off was most likely somewhere in the tunnel.
Jiang Ting, who had fused into the earth, was not in a hurry to open up a space for himself. Instead, he carefully examined the formation... He wanted to see if he could find the flaw of the formation. If there was, he would break the formation and enter it.
Unless it was necessary, he did not want to attack the formation face to face in order to avoid making too much noise.
After observing for a while, Jiang Ting's expression darkened. He didn't know much about formations, and he couldn't see through the formation in front of him.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting's magic power surged and squeezed the surrounding rocks and stones, forcefully opening up a place to land and stick close to the edge of the passage.
As he opened up a place to rest, the rocks and stones around the passage now looked like arched walls that flickered with lightning. One could not see the end of the walls.
It was also because of the shape of the wall that Jiang Ting guessed that it was a tunnel. And it was also because of the shape of the wall that ___ guessed it was a tunnel.
After that, a trace of magic power condensed in his palm, and his palm pressed against the edge of the wall.
When his palm was about half an inch away from the edge of the wall, a ripple appeared. It turned into a soft ripple like flowing water and blocked Jiang Ting's palm. He was unable to touch the arched wall. What was worth mentioning was that the barrier was also arched.
Jiang Ting wasn't surprised. Since there was a formation, it was normal for it to block his hand.
With a thought, the trace of magic power in his palm surged towards the light curtain.
However, just as the magic power touched the light screen, an electric light flashed and the magic power was instantly destroyed. Jiang Ting even felt that his palm was a little numb.1
He raised his hand and saw that his palm was slightly charred, as if it had been struck by lightning. Because he retracted his hand, the light screen also dispersed, as if it had never appeared.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting circulated his magic power to disperse the charred skin on his palm. He looked at the arched wall and frowned slightly. The power of the formation in front of him was not low.
It could actually break through the defense with just a slight touch. If he attacked from the front, he would definitely not be able to enter without making a big noise.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting reached out his hand again and pressed it against the wall. The light screen appeared again.
This time, Jiang Ting did not probe the power of the light screen. Instead, he carefully observed the light screen. Before the formation was activated, he could not see anything fishy. Now that the light screen had appeared, perhaps he could see some flaws?
He seemed to be just observing it normally, but in fact, his magic power kept circulating between his eyes. With the help of his magic power, his eyes could see something that he could not see normally.
For example, the flow of the spiritual energy in the light screen.
At this moment, the light screen in his eyes had turned into a series of chaotic electric currents... There were even more that he could not see through.
If an expert who had studied formations were here, perhaps he would be able to see the flaws and weak points of the formation through the flow of the electric currents. But Jiang Ting... he couldn't see through it. He could only see the disorderly flow of lightning. Even though he knew that the trajectory of the lightning must have something to do with the formation, in his opinion... It's also disorderly.
After a short while, Jiang Ting withdrew his magic power and shook his head slightly... That was true. If this formation was simple, it would not be able to maintain it for many years without anyone taking care of it.
He did not understand formations to begin with. It was obvious that the lightning contained the trajectory of the formation, but he could not understand it either.
Lowering his head and pondering for a while, Jiang Ting suddenly laughed. He realized that his thinking had been mistaken.
Why did he have to break through the formation and enter from here?
What was underneath the wall? There was an 80% chance that it was an underground tunnel.
Since it was a tunnel, there was an entrance.
He just needed to find an entrance!
With this thought, Jiang Ting turned his magic power and started to circle around the arched wall. After squeezing the stone and stone apart, it was not hard to find that the arched wall was actually an oval cylinder.
Looking at only one side, it was naturally an arch or an arc.
Jiang Ting, who only had 80% certainty, raised his grasp to 90%. That shape, no matter how one looked at it, was a passageway. If it really was not a passageway but something else, he would recognize it.
His eyes flashed, and then Jiang Ting started to move quickly towards the left side of the passageway. Regardless of the destination or the starting point, as long as he found the other end of the passageway, he would definitely be able to find the corresponding passageway.
...
On the surface, not far from the entrance of the Profound Thunder Sect.
At a place where the disciples of the Profound Thunder Sect had yet to see, two figures had unknowingly appeared in a dark place, concealing their auras as they sized up the mountain gate.
If Jiang Ting was here, it wouldn't be difficult to discover that these two people were surprisingly Qing Zhao and the blood mantis.
Furthermore, there was a faint trace of darkness on Qing Zhao's body. It was unknown when he had been infected by the aura of the Devil Dao, as well as the disgusting aura of the Devil Dao.
The blood mantis was still at the peak of the Earth Realm, while Qing Zhao's cultivation had improved slightly. He was at the peak of the Human Realm.
