127: Chapter 127 Qi Dispersing Formation

"Alright, Senior. You, you lead the way," Xia Shaoxin said in the calmest tone he had ever used in his life.

He was determined not to walk in front of Elder Luo Xi.

Heaven knows if the old thing would kill them to silence them for the sake of his own reputation.

Elder Luo Xi passed calmly between the two of them. After walking a few steps, his shoulders suddenly slumped, and his body thudded against the wall.

"Just now... I have embarrassed myself in front of you two."

He dared not turn back, sinking into deep shame.

Xia Shaoxin hurriedly said, "This is the Senior's family matter. This Junior will not spread it around."

Elder Luo Xi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I don't have long to live, and my father... he died decades ago. Everything will turn to dust, so it's meaningless to dwell on these things."

Xia Shaoxin could understand the bitterness in Elder Luo Xi's heart.

Seeking the truth of his origins before death was merely about coming cleanly and leaving clearly, a quest for inner peace.

Only now did he understand why Elder Luo Xi had risked everything to break into the Shenji Tower of the Yue Kingdom.

This goal could not be called a goal, but rather a dying wish.

All of his previous crazy actions now made sense.

At this moment, he hoped most that he could see through it and not dwell on it; when a person is in extreme shame, it is very difficult to remain rational.

Elder Luo Xi straightened up again, took the map, and searched along the way.

His gaze was piercing, and his whole body was filled with Killing Intent.

Carrying his sword, he strode forward. Where was the state of someone on the verge of death? It was as if he had eaten a strength-enhancing pill.

Both Xia and Liu could sense that Elder Luo Xi's heart was filled with anger, though they did not know who this anger was directed at.

Was it directed at Uncle Ancestor Luo You?

Was it directed at the Yue Kingdom?

In any case, it was better if it wasn't directed at the two of them.

At this moment, Elder Luo Xi was like Divine Might descending from heaven. No matter what monster appeared before him, he would hack it to pieces with his sword, as if venting his anger.

These were all extremely expensive medicinal herbs. Before, he had the heart to collect them, but now he didn't even look at them.

Xia Shaoxin had already sacrificed some, so he didn't feel much heartache.

After walking for a while, Elder Luo Xi's body suddenly went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Senior!" Xia Shaoxin was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward.

Even if you are going to die, you have to take us to the Teleportation Array first!

Elder Luo Xi refused help, struggling and swaying as he stood up.

"Just now, I was supported by anger, which stimulated the last bit of strength in my body. As the saying goes, what is strong is easily broken; this has made me weaken even faster."

Xia Shaoxin said bitterly: "Why don't you give me the map, and I will lead the way."

Elder Luo Xi thought about it and gave him the map.

"That's fine, I can catch my breath for a moment."

Xia Shaoxin said to Liu Tingting, "You just stay behind and keep a close watch on Senior Luo."

His eyes flickered, full of hidden meaning.

He didn't know if Liu Tingting could understand, but he could only pick up the map and lead the way.

When encountering monsters, he would urgently retreat, and Elder Luo Xi would pull himself together, stab them to death with one sword, and then continue moving forward.

After walking for a while, Elder Luo Xi suddenly spoke: "He brought two pieces of butterfly loves flower, but their whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps they were taken by the Yue Kingdom."

Liu Tingting didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"The Yue Kingdom must give me an explanation. Why did they hide it? What kind of conspiracy is this!"

Elder Luo Xi's eyes were filled with anger, and he pulled himself together again, following behind with big strides.

Wherever Xia Shaoxin and Liu Tingting walked, they would leave marks on the map, forming two lines.

The maze was extremely complex; without the map, they would definitely get lost.

Xia Shaoxin was leading the way, and since his cultivation was low, he dared not walk too fast.

If a few monsters suddenly ambushed them, he would have to run back behind Elder Luo Xi.

Because of this, their speed was even slower.

"I understand now, this must be a man-made maze," Liu Tingting suddenly said.

"Why build such a complex maze? To confuse monsters? But it confused people too," Xia Shaoxin said, very curious.

Liu Tingting took the map, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "This maze is used to disperse Qi."

Elder Luo Xi looked at Liu Tingting in surprise: "Tell me about it."

Liu Tingting was full of confidence, pointing and drawing on the map:

"You should know that when we are on a Spiritual Vein, we will set up a Formation that can condense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; this is called a Feng Shui Formation."

"If a Formation can gather, it can also disperse. This is a rare Qi-Dispersing Formation."

"We Immortality-cultivating Disciples generally do not live in evil lands, so we would never use a Qi-Dispersing Formation."

Liu Tingting's eyes were filled with admiration.

"The Yue Kingdom was actually able to use such a peculiar Formation; their Senior great cultivators are truly amazing."

Elder Luo Xi listened, stunned, and nodded repeatedly.

He had collected the map himself, yet he did not know the principles behind it.

Truly, different professions are like mountains apart.

Xia Shaoxin understood even less; what was the purpose of setting up a Qi-Dispersing Formation in a Forbidden Ground?

Elder Luo Xi could answer this question: "Because the poison gas is too strong, it must be dispersed."

Elder Luo Xi looked around and said excitedly: "This place connects to another world. The Seniors brought poison gas in to raise poisonous creatures. They don't need the poison gas to be too thick; if it's too thick, it might get out of control."

Liu Tingting frowned and said: "It is said that these Forbidden Grounds connect to another world. Why would they want to connect to it?"

"It must be because they want to obtain poisonous herbs to refine Medicinal Pills," Elder Luo Xi said.

Liu Tingting asked: "If we keep walking deep inside, will we reach another world?"

Elder Luo Xi laughed loudly: "Good idea, why don't you go and try it?"

Xia Shaoxin hurriedly said: "I believe the Seniors have already created a barrier; there must be a Formation blocking it ahead."

Liu Tingting did not argue anymore.

Now she had neither the mood nor the strength to explore another world.

The three of them continued to move forward.

On the map, they were getting closer and closer to the word "Teleportation".

Liu Tingting suddenly let out a "ying" sound, followed by a "thud" as she fell to the ground.

Xia Shaoxin was walking in front and instinctively thought Elder Luo Xi was launching a sneak attack, so he hurriedly rushed forward. Feeling safe, he turned his head and saw Liu Tingting lying on the ground, and Elder Luo Xi leaning against the wall.

"Senior Luo, are you trying to kill us to silence us?"

Elder Luo Xi was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, and said bitterly: "Kid, your guard is too high. I never thought about killing you two."

"Then why did she fall down?"

Elder Luo Xi panted and said: "You forgot, this is a Forbidden Ground, it is another world! Is it possible that we cannot withstand the erosion of this pervasive poison gas?"

Xia Shaoxin was stunned; he really hadn't thought of that.

"I don't know if your Medicinal Pill is effective; we couldn't hold on after less than two hours, but I know now that your physical constitution is very special, and you are truly more adapted to the environment here than we are."

Xia Shaoxin hurriedly took out a three-corpse three-insect body refining pill and fed it to Liu Tingting.

Very quickly, Liu Tingting opened her eyes.

"It seems this pill is truly effective. Can you give me one?" Elder Luo Xi's eyes were unfocused.

Xia Shaoxin, however, hesitated.

Looking at Elder Luo Xi's state, he was physically and mentally exhausted, at the end of his rope, and his emotions were extremely unstable.

If he left him behind and only took Liu Tingting to the Teleportation Array, it seemed there would be no problem.

But upon second thought, after leaving this place, they would still have to face the Grand Tomb Keeper of the Yue Kingdom. Without Elder Luo Xi fighting in front, they would truly have no chance at all.

He took out a Medicinal Pill and handed it to Elder Luo Xi.

After taking the Medicinal Pill and circulating their energy for a while, the complexions of Elder Luo Xi and Liu Tingting improved a lot.

"Let's continue walking," Elder Luo Xi said easily.

Xia Shaoxin didn't move and said sincerely: "Senior Luo, can you help me unblock my sealed Tianquan Point?"
