Chapter 488
Xuanyuan Yin
"The formation in the core area is just one step away from being completed, but it may take a long time to break these pieces of junk. I will go down and break the formation myself. You wait for me up there."
As soon as Emperor Xin finished speaking, he immediately walked towards one of the tunnels.
There are many tunnels on the ground, and each family is responsible for one tunnel, and these tunnels lead to different locations.
Some of the tunnels lead to relatively safe areas, while others lead to extremely dangerous places.
The tunnel chosen by Emperor Xin was the most dangerous one among all. Many people from the eight major families died while digging this tunnel. At present, this tunnel has been completely abandoned and there is no one inside.
Seeing someone suddenly walk into this tunnel, many people showed mocking expressions and looked at her as if she were dead, but no one spoke out to dissuade her.
Long Xuan did not stop her. He was still very confident in his old friend. Since she dared to go down, this tunnel would not take her life.
Long Xuan stood there and waited patiently. With Emperor Xin's attainments in formations, it wouldn't take long to break the last formation.
Once the last formation is broken, the Gu Kings on the ground will also go down to the tomb. It will not be too late for him to go down at any time after all these Gu Kings go down together.
……
At this moment, in the distance, there was a huge white ship sailing towards this side at a very fast speed.
On the boat, Xuanyuan Zhi looked in the direction of the ancient tomb, with a smile on his face growing wider and wider.
Behind him stood one after another Gu cultivators with powerful auras, with one aura of Gu King after another, and the total number of people was more than ten thousand.
"Has the Xuanyuan formation been set up?" Xuanyuan Zhi suddenly asked.
An old man stepped forward, clasped his fists, and sneered, "Your Majesty, the Xuanyuan Formation has been set up. As long as the Xuanyuan Formation is activated, no one in the formation will be able to escape."
Xuanyuan Zhi did not look relaxed, and continued: "This matter is of great importance. Even if one person is released, the consequences will be disastrous."
“Although the Xuanyuan formation is so powerful that only a few people can break it, there are definitely many talented formation masters brought by the eight major families to break the formation of the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum.”
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I never dare to look down on the people in the world, nor will I be so arrogant as to say that no one can break the Xuanyuan formation."
"But no matter how powerful the formation master is, it takes time to break the formation. It is impossible to break it in one go."
"We have ten times more people than those in the formation. The Xuanyuan formation can also weaken the opponent's combat power. We have the advantage of crushing the opponent in this battle."
"As long as we act quickly enough and don't give them time to break the formation, this matter will be trouble-free."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhi nodded, and the solemn expression on his face eased slightly.
"That's right! Even if someone among them can break the formation, what can they do? In a melee, they won't have the time to do so even if they have the ability to do so."
The speaker was a handsome young man with a proud look on his face. He continued, "I was unlucky in the last Western Region Competition. I participated with an injury and only got fifth place."
"Fifth place is definitely not my limit. When the battle starts, I will challenge Qin Mingyue in a one-on-one duel to prove my strength. None of you should interfere."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhi frowned slightly. He wanted to deal with all his opponents with thundering means, but he didn't want to waste time playing one-on-one tricks.
What's more, the Fifth Prince is of noble status. If he is no match for Qin Mingyue and is killed by her at an extremely fast speed, how can he explain to Emperor Xuanyuan?
However, thinking that the combat effectiveness of everyone in the Xuanyuan formation would be greatly reduced, which was equivalent to directly dropping a realm, and that there was no possibility that the Fifth Prince would be defeated quickly, he nodded and agreed to the Fifth Prince's request.
"Speed up!"
Knowing that the Xuanyuan formation had been set up, Xuanyuan Zhi no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and the giant ship accelerated forward.
Three hours later, the giant ship arrived above the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum and floated in the center of the mausoleum.
The sudden arrival of the uninvited guests made everyone below look up, and when they saw the number of people on the boat, their pupils suddenly shrank.
There were more than 10,000 people on the ship. Who wouldn't be afraid when seeing so many people?
"Is it Xuanyuan Zhi? It should be someone from the royal family. I didn't expect the royal family would send out so many people. It looks like this tomb is not simple."
The head of the Han family frowned solemnly, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The head of the Jiang family looked up at the figure standing on the bow and said, "It turns out that it is the prince who has come. Could the prince come down to talk with us and discuss the distribution of the treasures in the ancient tomb?"
Xuanyuan Zhi on the boat raised his lips slowly, looked down and said with a wicked smile: "No need, the royal family wants all the treasures in the ancient tomb, no need to discuss further."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below suddenly looked unhappy.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" The head of the Lan family clenched his fists and asked, suppressing his anger.
Until this moment, he had never imagined that the royal family would actually intend to kill them all in order to monopolize all the treasures of Emperor Cangyue.
"Haha! Haven't you figured out my intention? Since I brought so many people with me, can you guess what the royal family is going to do?"
Xuanyuan Zhi's expression turned fierce, and he finally decided not to waste any more words. He waved his hand and said fiercely: "Kill them all! Don't spare any of them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the imperial guards on the ship dropped off the ship in groups like dumplings. As soon as they landed on the ground, they rushed towards the people who were still in a daze.
At the same time, with the ship as the center, a circular barrier suddenly rose up around it, covering everyone tightly inside.
Seeing that the situation was not good, many people who had already started to run away bumped heavily into the barrier and were bounced back.
What greeted them were the royal guards wielding sharp blades behind them.
Many people were caught off guard and died tragically under the swords of the imperial guards. The scene was instantly in chaos, with sounds of fighting and screaming everywhere, and a brutal melee broke out.
Although the overall realm of the tomb-robbing army was higher than that of the imperial guards, their strength was greatly weakened under the suppression of the Xuanyuan formation. How could they be an opponent? They were at a disadvantage after just a confrontation, and it was only a matter of time before they were killed.
The head of the Jiang family looked at Xuanyuan Zhi on the boat with a ferocious expression and said angrily: "What on earth do you royal family want to do! Our eight major families are loyal and devoted. Even if we have no merit, we have worked hard."
"It's just an ancient tomb, but it's worth your royal family killing so many people!"
The head of the Jiang family clenched his fists. Seeing the family's Gu practitioners dying tragically one after another, his eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Xuanyuan Zhi on the boat with his bloodshot eyes.
"Just an ancient tomb? Haha! It seems that you idiots still haven't figured out whose tomb this is."
"Well, then I'll let you know! I'll tell you, this tomb is the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Cang Yue."
"I don't think I need to say much about the value of the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum!"
"I heard that there is a secret of immortality in the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum. This secret cannot be shared with anyone. Tell me, should you die?" Xuanyuan Zhi sneered.
"Huh! So that's how it is. It turns out that the owner of this ancient tomb is Emperor Cang Yue. No wonder the formation in the tomb is so difficult to break!"
The head of the Jiang family laughed bitterly and sneered: "Every emperor wants to live forever. He is really old and confused. How could there be the secret of longevity in the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum!"
"If Emperor Cang Yue really knew the secret of immortality, then how did he die?"
"Haha! The secret of immortality, even if it is not credible, people who are about to die will choose to believe it, right?" Xuanyuan Zhi raised his lips, and finally stopped talking. He said seriously: "No need to say more, all eight of you come together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Zhi jumped off the boat with his hands behind his back.
"You're so arrogant to want to challenge the eight of us! Then the eight of us will learn the skills of the strongest man in the Xuanyuan Empire today!"
"Even if the eight of us die today, we will drag you down with us!"
The eight family heads revealed crazy eyes and rushed towards Xuanyuan Zhi.
Looking at Xuanyuan Zhi who was already fighting with the eight family heads, Long Xuan's expression changed again and again, and his eyes quickly scanned around, trying to find a way to escape.
However, the surroundings were tightly covered by the barrier, so there was no chance of escape.
As for breaking this damn formation, forget it. It is true that he is good at breaking formations, but the formation is not engraved around the ground, otherwise, even if it is not discovered by the people here, he will find it.
The formation patterns of this large formation are all on the giant ship in the air. There is more than one Gu King guarding the ship, so it is impossible for him to break the formation just because he wants to.
Long Xuan gave a bitter smile. Such a sudden change was really beyond his expectations.
He also never expected that the Emperor of Xuanyuan Empire actually planned to kill all the people here and take all the treasures for himself. He was simply crazy.
A huge number of powerful people from the Xuanyuan Empire gathered here. If such a massacre were to take place, the Xuanyuan Empire would definitely suffer a heavy blow.
Is it really worth it to severely damage the Xuanyuan Empire for the treasure in the tomb? He couldn't figure it out.
Seeing a large group of Xuanyuan Empire's imperial guards rushing towards him with ferocious faces, Long Xuan didn't think any more and ran as fast as he could.
Although his range of movement was restricted by this formation, with his speed, it was basically impossible for people of the same level to encounter him unless he was chased by the Gu King.
Long Xuan ran around the circular barrier like walking a dog, taking out a Baili Talisman from the insect breeding bag with a hesitant look in his eyes.
He knew that exploring the tomb with the Gu King would involve certain risks, so how could he not make preparations? This Baili Talisman was his trump card to avoid the Gu King's pursuit. The quantity was limited, and he only made one while working overtime to repair the Gu.
This is a dead end, and it has reached the point where I have to use Baili Fu.
But he was unwilling to leave like this.
Once this Baili Talisman is used, not only will the Tianling Tree be lost, but most importantly, many of the chess pieces on his chessboard will be destroyed.
Both Emperor Xin and Qin Mingyue are among the brightest pieces on the chessboard.
If they all died here today, he would be so heartbroken that he couldn't just leave.
"Damn it! Plans are really not as fast as changes!"
Long Xuan cursed loudly, and seeing Qin Mingyue in danger under the attack of a young man, he gritted his teeth and rushed over immediately.
He may not save others, but he has to save this brightest chess piece.
"Hahaha! Qin Mingyue, the third-ranked genius in the competition is only this good? She is simply undeserving of the title!"
"If this is all you can do, then just be my cauldron. As long as you agree, I promise you'll be the only one who can survive here!"
Seeing Qin Mingyue was at a disadvantage under his attack, Xuanyuan Yin laughed wildly and looked at her with lustful eyes.
Qin Mingyue gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily. If she hadn't been suppressed by the Xuanyuan formation, so that she could only exert the power of the late stage of the Spiritual Sea, how could this Xuanyuan Yin be her opponent?
Qin Mingyue looked around from time to time and saw that she was surrounded by the Xuanyuan formation and there was no possibility of escape. She felt cold in her heart and a look of despair appeared on her face.
She understood what would happen to her if she couldn't escape today, and she might as well die.
"Hahaha...what are you looking at? You can't escape. I'm going to take this cauldron from you."
Xuanyuan Yin licked his lips, with lustful eyes.
Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, and a figure was attacking his back. The corners of his mouth curled up. He thought that someone dared to attack him when he was in a suppressed state, which was simply overestimating his own abilities.
"You're looking for death! Isn't it better to live a good life?"
Xuanyuan Yin suddenly turned around and punched the oncoming fist hard.
Under the influence of the Xuanyuan formation, it was already good enough for a Linghai peak Gu cultivator to be able to exert the power of a Linghai late stage. In this case, he didn't need to dodge, so he directly chose to fight head-on with his fist.
Seeing that there was someone who was not afraid of death and was willing to fight with him, Long Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a playful smile. So far, no one of the same level could fight with him.
All those who fought against him at the same level paid a heavy price.
In the field of body training, he thinks he is absolutely invincible.
Long Xuan knew that it was not easy for a genius to suppress Qin Mingyue, so he did not dare to hide his weakness in this punch. He directly released the three great Dharma images and blasted at the opponent with all his strength.
"bump!"
The two fists collided heavily, making a deafening thud.
With this punch, Xuanyuan Yin's arm exploded into a bloody mist, with broken bones and flesh flying everywhere. His arm could not withstand the huge force and exploded directly.
Xuanyuan Yin screamed, and under the huge force, he flew sideways.
"good chance!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Mingyue's eyes lit up. At this moment, Xuanyuan Yin lost his balance and flew straight towards her, with his door wide open. How could she miss such a good opportunity?
Qin Mingyue raised his right palm, and a crescent-shaped poisonous insect flew out from his sleeve and flew straight towards his head.
Xuanyuan Yin lost an arm, and even though he was about to faint from the pain, as a genius who had experienced many battles, he did not lose his ability to react due to the severe pain.
Seeing a crescent-shaped poisonous insect flying towards him, he gritted his teeth and prepared to dodge to the side.
However, he was facing two opponents at this time.
Long Xuan showed a wicked smile and took Xiaobai out of the insect breeding bag. Under the cover of the slowness field, his dodging speed became extremely slow.
"No! Don't!"
Xuanyuan Yin was horrified. As his speed was limited, it was impossible for him to dodge this swift attack. He only had time to say four words before the Crescent Moon Gu cut off his neck and his head flew high into the air.
His eyes were wide open, and he could not understand until his death why a genius who could crush him even though he was at a lower level suddenly appeared. He died with his eyes open.
