Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 45 Sect Grand Competition (2)

The bronze mirror in the room suddenly shattered, and Shi Ming could no longer sit still.

"Senior Brother!"

He was the first to rush to the entrance, and the other disciples followed without hesitation.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

When Nie Xushuang saw that Shi Ming had gone mad, she stomped her feet in distress.

"I'm going to find her, don't follow me!"

Seeing that Ji Tinghan and the others had also followed, Shi Ming didn't stop moving. He hurriedly said a few words and then sped up again.

"Senior Brother, I'm going too! I can break formations too!"

Ji Tinghan quickened his pace and caught up: "There are still many formations on the mountain, I'll break them!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

When the Wen family saw them rushing over, they made a move to stop them.

"Halt! What are you doing! Stand back! Don't interfere with the match!"

Jian Muyi and Su Wusi exchanged a glance, each holding a sword to the necks of the two Wen family members.

Su Wusi's lips curled up, but her words were devoid of any smile: "Don't move, okay? If you move around and I accidentally hurt you, that wouldn't be right, would it?"

Jian Muyi threatened menacingly, "Don't move. If anything happens to my senior sister, I'll chop you all up and feed you to the dogs."

The group exchanged glances, and Shi Ming led Ji Tinghan and Xue Xin inside, leaving Su Wusi and Jian Muyi to cover their retreat.

When Xie Jing arrived, he saw Su Wusi and the other person holding swords to someone's neck. He knew something was wrong. After finding out where Shi Ming was, he felt like the sky had fallen.

He hurriedly chased after him.

Jian Muyi and Su Wusi exchanged a glance: "Should we chase after them too?"

Su Wusi tightened his grip on the man's sword, then suddenly said fiercely, "Behave yourself!"

He then knocked the man unconscious with a karate chop and said to Jian Muyi, "Let's go!"

Jian Muyi was completely dumbfounded. Then, he tried to knock the person unconscious, just like Su Wusi. However, due to his lack of skill, he had to knock the person out after a few blows.

"Junior Sister, wait for me!"

……

A gust of wind swept by, though not as fierce as the previous one, but Luo Zai Shui and Ji Ting Han were nearly buried alive.

Luo Zai Shui was the first to struggle out of the sand pile. Looking at Chu Ye Li, who was motionless with only a corner of his clothes remaining, she sighed helplessly and dug him out.

"Cough cough cough... spit spit spit... I almost... I almost didn't see the sun tomorrow."

Luo Zai Shui patted his back symbolically, still shaken, and said, "Thank goodness that gust of wind just now blew those things away, otherwise we would be done for today."

Chu Yeli finally spat out the sand in his mouth: "What's going on with this wind? It's too strange."

The two exchanged a glance and suddenly grasped the key point.

"This wind must have blown here to suppress those vengeful spirits, which means that the town's guardian deity should be nearby."

Looking at the newly added sand pile that was nearly two meters deep, Luo Zai Shui resigned himself to his fate: "Let's dig. Maybe if we dig fast, we can dig it out in two days."

This time, it was Chu Yeli's turn to look at her like she was an idiot.

Chu Yeli patted the dust off her head: "It's no wonder you've messed up. Sand got into your brain, no wonder it's damaged."

After saying that, he took out a wind talisman and held it between his index and middle fingers, while making a hand seal with one hand.

"The wind is coming!"

Compared to the previous two gusts of wind, the wind summoned by Chu Yeli was much weaker, but it still caused yellow sand to fill the sky.

Luo didn't have much energy left to struggle in the water, so he simply leaned against the stone wall to rest and conserve his strength. During this time, the corpse that had been drained seemed to be blown away.

Luo saw this in the water, hesitated, and finally said nothing more. "Never mind, I should take care of myself first."

Thanks to Chu Yeli's tireless efforts, the area finally revealed its original appearance.

Just as Luo Zai Shui had predicted, there was indeed a tombstone buried under the sand pile.

Luo Zai Shui clutched her chest and limped to the tombstone, raising her hand to gently brush away the fine sand from it.

"These are ancient characters. Can you understand them?"

Chu Yeli leaned closer and saw that it contained a pair of ancient characters, leaving him completely baffled.

Luo Zai Shui's fingertips landed on those strange symbols, and he said seriously, "Barely."

Chu Yeli looked at her with more respect.

She translated word by word: "Dana Lala clan... fell in battle... suppressed... eternal sleep..."

Chu Yeli clicked her tongue lightly: "So, there are still no useful clues."

Luo Zai Shui got a headache from looking at those words. When he stood up, he stood up too abruptly and his vision went black: "Let's look again. At least we found a key position. We should be able to find the Gate of Life soon."

As soon as they finished speaking, a gust of cold wind swept in, making the two of them shiver.

"Who has called me..."

A clear, ethereal voice rang out from behind them, startling both of them.

The reason was simple: the ghost behind him was almost transparent, but the shocking wounds on the person's body and the black hole in his chest that could not be ignored could still be seen.

"Oh, it's just a few little kids. Did I scare you?"

The ghost suddenly grinned, and its entire being—no, its entire ghost—appeared even more ferocious.

Seeing that she meant no harm, Luo Zai Shui calmed down and asked, "May I ask if you are the guardian deity of this place?"

Chu Yeli was somewhat incredulous upon hearing her words: "A guardian spirit? So weak? How is that possible? And shouldn't a guardian spirit be a great general or some other spirit with heavy malevolent energy? How could it be a woman?"

Upon hearing his words, the ghost pressed itself against him: "What's wrong with women? Women can certainly fight on the battlefield and become generals!"

Seeing that Chu Yeli's face had turned pale with fright, and before he could even throw the talisman in his hand, the ghost took a step back.

Luo Zai Shui smiled and agreed, "Senior is right."

Hearing what Luo Zai Shui said, the ghost floated to Luo Zai Shui's side again: "I like you, but unfortunately... your life is a bit unlucky."

Upon hearing his senior's words, Luo Zaishui withdrew his smile and took the lead in revealing his identity: "Senior, I am Luo Zaishui, the 97th generation second disciple of Xianyun Peak, and he is Chu Yeli, the 97th generation first disciple of Linghai Sect. We have inadvertently wandered into this place, and we ask that you show us a way out."

"Xianyun Peak, Linghai Sect... those names sound familiar, but I can't quite place them... never mind, you guys said you accidentally wandered in?"

"I was framed," Luo Zai Shui recounted the whole story of the sect competition.

"Absurd!" The ghost, enraged, became unstable. "How can the Spirit Suppression Array be treated so lightly!"

Chu Yeli echoed in a low voice, "If we hadn't discovered in time that this place was a spirit-suppressing array, it would have caused a great disaster."

"Don't worry." The ghost revealed a cold smile. "If you dare to break the formation, I will send you straight into reincarnation."

Luo Zai Shui shuddered and laughed, "No, no, we can't bear this responsibility. It's just that the culprit is still at large, and we need to get out of here..."

The ghost looked at its almost transparent hand and muttered, "No wonder I've been feeling the formation weakening lately; someone must have had ulterior motives."

"Hey, you two." The ghost suddenly turned to them. "Since you're participating in the Array Dao Competition, you should know about array formations, right? Do me a favor, and I'll send you out, okay?"
