As the Universe Turns - Chapter 546
Chapter 546 Mr. Ghost Mist
At midnight, dawn was about to break, and almost all of the formations in the poisonous mist forest had been destroyed. The mist gradually dissipated, and the poisonous miasma gradually disappeared.
After attacking for a night, the four great devil sects felt exhausted, but they couldn’t relax at this moment. Seeing that the miasma was about to disappear, it was better to destroy this place and cut off Tai Shi Dao Sect’s finger instead of resting at this moment.
“I don’t think there are many formations ahead. Do you still have the strength to directly attack?”
As Yucha Xuanji attacked the formation, he sent a message to the other three. The three of them had their own thoughts. They naturally had to break through the Miasma Fog Forest in one fell swoop. Otherwise, once Tai Shi Dao Sect came up with a plan to deal with them, all his efforts would be wasted and he might even be in danger.
However, they knew that once the Miasma Fog Forest was broken, the cooperation between them would end here. After entering the depths of the forest, there would definitely be a fight over the treasures that were about to appear.
Therefore, at this moment, the four of them wanted to preserve their own strength, so that they would be able to catch the other party off guard.
How could Hua Weiyang not see that the four of them were each carrying their own tricks? He said, “Tai Shi Dao Sect has laid down more than ten formidable restriction formations in front of us. If we can’t break these formations at dawn, everything we’ve done tonight will be in vain.”
Freedom Monarch said, “Now, instead of guessing at each other, why don’t we use all our strength and break down the dozen or so formations in front of us first?”
The few of them didn’t say anything else. They retained their strength and didn’t forget to break the formation. After more than two hours, the twelve formations were finally destroyed by the combined forces of the crowd.
At this moment, the sky was still pitch black, and not even the stars and moons could be seen. It was like the last darkness before dawn.
Yucha Xuanji smiled and said, “Alright, the twelve formations have been destroyed. It’s not even dawn yet. It looks like our speed isn’t slow either.”
The other three slowly relaxed and began to recover. They were also gradually on guard against each other.
However, Xiao Chen’s expression became even more solemn. Just now, he had been counting the hours. More than an hour had passed since midnight. Logically speaking, it should be dawn, but why was the sky still pitch black now?
“You also discovered something wrong, didn’t you?”
Ning Mei looked at him from the side. Obviously, she had been counting the hours since it was dark last night. It should be dawn by now, but why was the surroundings still pitch black?
“What’s wrong with you two?”
Seeing that the two of them had serious expressions, Yucha Xuanji slowly walked over. The other three were worried that things would change, so they walked over as well.
Hua Weiyang glanced at the four of them and said with a frown, “We have been attacking the formation since last night. It has been seven hours. It should be already dawn, but the sky is still pitch black. Don’t you find anything strange?”
“Strange …”
Hearing her words, the expressions of the four of them became serious. Counting the time, it seemed that it should be dawn now. But why was this dense forest still in the darkness?
“Shit …”
Hua Weiyang pinched his fingers and his expression changed. Seeing that her expression had changed, the four of them asked, “Did Lord Lianhua Palace discover anything?”
Hua Weiyang slowly calmed down and looked at the four people, “The other party invited an expert. This person used an extremely powerful and strange spell to trap us here. Until the spell is undone, the sky won’t be bright anymore, and we won’t be able to leave …”
“Expert …”
The four people’s eyes narrowed slightly. What kind of expert could silently trap them all here? Freedom Monarch said, “Right now, the most important thing is to think about whether we can break this person’s spell. Let’s split up and find out if there are any gaps.”
“Alright.”
Xie Tianluo’s expression was gloomy. The rest of them had no objections. They immediately split up to look for a gap. However, the power of this spell was far beyond their imagination. After searching for a long time, they were unable to find a single gap. The sky was still pitch black, and the entire forest was deathly silent. No matter how they walked, they would not be able to get out.
At this moment, in a cave filled with ghostly auras, the four Soul Formation elders of the Tai Shi Dao Sect were all present. Apart from that, there was another person. They saw that person hiding in a black mist and floating in the air. That was why he was called Mr. Ghost Mist.
“Those people are already trapped. Thank you, Mr. Ghost Mist, for coming this time to relieve us of our urgent need.” Old man Qingyi cupped his hands and said.
“Mm …”
“It’s too early to relax now. Those people are not ordinary people. Spells can only last for seven days at most. Therefore, you must open the barrier within seven days …” said a gloomy voice from within the black mist. “It’s too early to relax now. Those people are not ordinary people. The spells can only last for seven days at most. So, you must open the barrier within seven days …”
When the four of them heard this, they looked at each other. Old man Qingyi cupped his hands towards the black mist in midair once more. “Thank you, sir, for reminding me. However, there is one thing that the four of us still don’t know. Sir, you can figure out who else is there other than those four Demon Gates …”
“The other two people, one is the Lord of Lianhua Palace, the other is … the abandoned disciple of Xuanqing Sect, Xiao Yichen.” Inside the black mist came Mr. Ghost Mist’s gloomy voice.
“This …”
Suddenly hearing about these two people, the four people in the cave felt stifled. They didn’t expect that these two people would actually come back.
Especially the red-clothed old man, his expression became extremely ugly. Suddenly, he remembered that in the valley that day, the divine sense that had caused great pressure on him was actually that Xiao Yichen?
The leader, Old man Qingyi, was stunned. He couldn’t believe it. No wonder he was able to find their formation restriction so easily. It turned out to be these two people. At this moment, he could only mutter to himself, “Then Xiao Yichen, it is rumored that he is …”
“It doesn’t matter what the rumors say. The important thing is … if you want to succeed, then you must first eliminate this person.”
As Mr. Ghost Mist spoke slowly, he floated out of the cave, “If this person is not removed, he will definitely be in great trouble in the future” At the end of his sentence, the shadow gradually disappeared into the void.
Inside the cave, the four Soul Formation elders still felt cold sweat dripping down their backs. The four of them looked at each other and made up their minds.
Xiao Yichen naturally wanted to remove it, but the most important thing now was to open the barrier in the depths of the forest before those people escaped. After the two elders brought people in, they would immediately close the barrier to prevent others from following them.
…
A few days passed. The depths of the forest were not peaceful these days. Occasionally, shocks came from the depths. Occasionally, multicolored light descended from the sky. Occasionally, dark clouds rolled and killing intent soared into the sky. Occasionally, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled unceasingly.
Meanwhile, in the Misty Forest, Xiao Chen, Hua Weiyang, and the people from the Four Great Devil Sects were still trapped in Mr. Ghost Mist’s spell. For the past few days, the Misty Forest had been completely dark, and the surroundings were pitch black without dawn.
“What should we do?”
Yucha Xuanji and the others frowned. Naturally, they could sense that the barrier in the depths of the forest was about to be opened by the people of Tai Shi Dao Sect. The things inside had been silent for tens of thousands of years, and now, the sun was finally about to reappear.
…
At this moment, in the depths of the forest that no one had ever visited, black mist billowed and murderous energy surged. An unknown land was slowly collapsing. A peerless aura of emperor descending into the world slowly surged up from the ground that had been buried ten thousand years ago, slowly dispelling the boundless murderous energy that had enveloped this place for ten thousand years.
