Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Taste a Bite_1

"Ah!"

Yin Guihua suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

"Guihua, what’s the matter?"

Below Yin Guihua, Wu Qiyi turned her head and asked.

"My, my pyramid has started moving."

"It’s okay, all of ours have started moving too."

No sooner had Wu Qiyi spoken than the eight individuals suddenly felt the pyramids in their hands tremble more violently, while also emitting a scorching breath, causing everyone’s palms to sweat.

"Old Shu, this thing of yours isn’t going to burst into flames, is it?"

Directly below you, Yang Kai shouted up at you, straining his voice.

You didn’t pay any attention to Yang Kai; no one but you understood the sheer magnitude of vital essence needed to activate such a large array.

Of course, if it were solely up to your current strength, let alone an array as vast as the day after tomorrow’s Eight Trigrams Array, even one size smaller would be impossible to activate. However, this place was deep in the mountains, brimming with elemental power, and from the beginning, you already had a plan in mind.

Therefore, before everyone’s eyes, you slowly opened your hands, tilted your head upwards slightly, and looked towards the azure sky above, before bellowing, "Scenic Sect, open!"

"Boom!"

A thunderclap exploded out of the clear sky!

The wind started blowing, a fierce wind!

The wild wind tossed people’s hair and the branches and leaves of trees, wildly and chaotically.

Amidst the blinding wind and dust, to their astonishment, Wu Qiyi and the others discovered that the weeds at their feet were growing wildly!

Fan Dongqing watched, her eyes wide open, as an apple tree not far in front of her thickened by an entire ring!

As someone who sowed plants, Fan Dongqing was well aware that for an apple tree to grow by a ring, it would take at least several years!

And you!

When you slowly lowered your head, the people nearby were horrified to discover that your eyes had been filled with five-colored radiant light. Anyone who looked into your eyes felt as if they were plummeting into a disorienting space, and only upon closing their eyes would the dizzying sensation disappear!

"Hmm?"

At this moment, on the other side of a mountain, the Empress once again came to a halt, and her gaze naturally drifted towards the direction where you were.

"Has the Empress sensed it?" Wu Qiuyue asked respectfully.

The Empress turned to look at Wu Qiuyue and said indifferently, "What, have you sensed that strange energy too?"

Wu Qiuyue nodded, "That energy is not far from here; shall I go and investigate?"

The Empress frowned slightly, hesitating for a moment before dismissing Wu Qiuyue’s suggestion, "No, anyone who can unleash such surging energy in such a short time must be extraordinary. At this critical juncture, we should not blindly make enemies."

"Yes."

"Let’s go, we need to hurry. We must find the entrance to the underground palace before sunset today."

Meanwhile, atop another mountain, two young men dressed like travelers also stopped in their tracks. One, with a flat top haircut, somewhat handsome, turned to the long-haired youth beside him and said, "Hey, beast, doesn’t this energy feel a bit like the formations of our old Mao Family?"

The long-haired youth nodded, then shook his head. He extended a finger, licked the tip with his tongue, then held it out in the wind before finally popping it into his mouth, sampling it as if it were a delicacy, and smacked his lips, "Tastes more pure than what our old Mao Family uses – it seems the senior casting spells ahead must be a true master of the Daoist arts."

"Let’s go check it out." Flat Top Head became instantly interested upon hearing it’s a legitimate Daoist art.

The long-haired young man shook his head. He took a small compass out of his chest. After spinning for nine full circles, the needle pointed in the direction where the Empress was.

"This time coming down the mountain for training, our master made it clear in advance, once the compass needle spun nine circles and finally pointed to a location, the two of us must do our utmost to kill the monster it points to!"

"Tch!" Flat Top Head yawned and smacked his lips, "No offense to your master, but he talks too much and is too rigid. Hasn’t he thought about it? We’re just young guys starting out. If this compass really points to a thousand-year-old monster, with our strength, we’d be nothing but dust under its feet."

Scratching his head, Flat Top Head said with a laugh, "Hey, bro, what if we really can’t beat that monster?"

The long-haired young man replied with a serious face, "Then naturally... we run."

"Hmm, a wise child," Flat Top Head chuckled and started walking in the direction pointed by the compass needle.

"Hey, hey, didn’t you just say..."

"Are you stupid? Since we’re out to gain experience, we definitely need to make a name for ourselves to bring back. Let’s go check out the direction the needle points to. If we meet someone weaker than us, we team up and beat them. If they’re stronger, we just sneak away, right?"

The long-haired young man thought for a moment and then followed suit.

"It’s too hot, I can’t hold it anymore!"

Yang Kai’s hands constantly battled to keep control, his face twisted in extreme distress. No sooner had he spoken than his right hand jerked away, and the pyramid radiating intense heat soared straight up!

With Yang Kai at the lead, the other eight people subsequently let go of the pyramids in their hands. The pyramids rose to a certain height and then paused.

The pyramid above Yang Kai’s head was the highest, Fan Yi’s was the lowest, the eight pyramids formed a set of steps, then began spinning rapidly around you!

In the midst of spinning, the pyramids turned into five-colored flowing lights, an exceptionally beautiful sight with a mixture of splendid purples and reds when viewed from the outside.

At that moment, everyone noticed that the earth beneath their feet and the fruit trees all around began to emit black light. As if drawn to the five-colored lights, the black light transformed into mist and slowly rose, heading towards the sky.

The faster the five-colored lights spun, the quicker the black mist dispersed into the sky. The faces of Wu Qiyi and the other eight surrounding you gradually showed fatigue, with Yang Kai showing the most signs, his face turning paler, forehead tightly furrowed, desperately enduring.

"Old Shu, how much longer, I can’t take it anymore!"

You do not reply, as you are suffering even more at the moment!

Wei Shuxian gritted his teeth as he taunted Yang Kai, "I told you, kid, you’re definitely weak in the kidneys! Didn’t you spend the whole night before with Nie Ying? Drained of all your yang energy, right?"

"I... keh!"

At this point, Yang Kai had no strength left even to retort Wei Shuxian, merely clenching his teeth tightly, shivering uncontrollably.

"It’s done!"

With your loud shout, the spinning five-colored lights soared into the heavens, taking the black mist with them, disappearing into the clouds, dispersing in the blue sky.

"Whew—"

All nine of you let out a long breath in unison.

"That was deadly." Yang Kai plopped down onto the ground.

Suddenly, you plucked an apple from a nearby fruit tree and tossed it to Fan Dongqing.

Fan Dongqing caught the apple, looking at you with a puzzled expression.

You said with a smile, "Take a bite and see."
