Chapter 184

"No wonder you keep running away."

"Facing two mages of the same level at the same time, except for Fellow Daoist Nanlong and Fellow Daoist Yun, the rest of us can only temporarily avoid the sharp edge."

The old woman sighed and said.

"However, the two men who are chasing after you are both very capable and courageous."

"Until now, there is no intention of giving up the pursuit. Does he really want to use the weak to defeat the strong?" Yin Mo glanced into the distance and suddenly chuckled.

In fact, Yin Mo didn’t need to say anything, everyone else had seen it.

Although the two mages on the opposite side stopped, they did not run away immediately. Instead, they observed them coldly.

However, with the powerful spiritual sense of Yin Mo and others, the appearance of the two people could be seen clearly.

One was golden in color, wearing a feather crown and linen clothes, and the other had a ferocious appearance and wore green clothes. Both were cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Nanlong Hou snorted coldly and said coldly to the opposite side:

"My two Taoist friends have not yet refused to leave. Do you really want us to take action? If you are not careful, you may die here!"

There was a threat in his words.

"You are so arrogant! Although the two of us are no match for you, it is too confident to say that you can destroy us."

"We won't attack directly. We will just delay for a while. Do you still have a chance to escape?"

"It's better to surrender now. Maybe our superiors can give you a chance to live!"

The Sack-Crowned Mage replied coldly, his tone unusually sharp.

"Delay for half a day? Do you think we are so easy to deal with?" Nanlong Hou laughed angrily.

At the same time, his body was shining with golden light, making it almost impossible to look directly at him.

"Maybe, maybe not! Since so many high-level monks have come to Mulan Grassland, we, as the hosts, must entertain you well!" said another green-shirted mage expressionlessly.

"Hmph! It seems like the two of you are not willing to give up. Brother Yun, make your move!" Nanlong Hou's face darkened, and he spoke indifferently to the old man in white.

But after hearing this, the old man in white showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

"I originally wanted to use less mana before the real thing was done."

"But we can't let these two people follow us all the time, so we have to take action!" said the old man with a sigh.

After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and a silver Dharma wheel shot out from his mouth.

This Falun was the size of a fist, radiating crystal light, and slowly rotating several feet in front of the chest.

The two mages on the opposite side immediately stepped back upon seeing this, their bodies shining with light as they looked at the old man warily.

Nanlong Hou silently flicked his sleeves, and a golden flying sword flew out from his sleeves.

Yin Mo and others also silently raised their magic power and slowly moved forward.

At this moment, the distant sky behind the two people opposite suddenly flashed red, and then a beam of fire flew from far to near.

Nanlong Hou and others who were originally planning to take action were stunned and couldn't help but pause.

The two mages naturally noticed the abnormality behind them, but the mage with the hemp crown waved towards the fire without caring.

As a result, the red light circled several feet above his head and fell steadily into his hand. It then exploded and a ball of flame burned in the palm of his hand.

This turned out to be a sound transmission note that came from nowhere!

"what?"

The hemp-crowned mage took a quick look with his spiritual sense and immediately exclaimed.

Even though they were hundreds of feet away, Nanlong Hou and others could still clearly see the surprised expression on his face.

The mage suddenly turned his head and moved his lips slightly to convey a message to the green-shirted mage on the side.

After hearing a few words, the ferocious mage's face changed and he also exclaimed in a low voice.

Then, the two of them looked at the monks carefully, and finally their eyes fell on Yin Mo, their expressions became solemn.

Yin Mo's expression remained unchanged, but he was vaguely guessing something in his heart.

Most of them were about the old man surnamed Mu who was seriously injured by himself and only his Nascent Soul escaped.

Do these two people have a close relationship with that old man?
Yin Mo was thinking silently, but the two mages glared at him, then looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

Afterwards, they exchanged a few words in a low voice, and without saying a word, the light turned into two long red and green rainbows and flew away in the same direction.

Nanlong Hou and others were slightly surprised, but after hesitating for a moment, no one chased after them.

In the blink of an eye, the two people turned into two points of light and eventually disappeared from the horizon.

"Friend Yin, those two seem to care about you a lot."

"Have you recognized these two mages before?" Wang Tiangu suddenly asked with a smile.

"I don't know them. This is my first time in Mulan Grassland. How can I recognize them?"

Yin Mo answered without hesitation, his expression calm.

When Nanlong Hou heard this, he frowned, but soon relaxed again.

"Well, whatever happened to those two mages."

"Let's get out of here and unlock the restrictions so we can get the treasure quickly."

"This is the place of the Mulan people. We can't stay here for long." Nanlong Hou did not ask any more questions about what happened just now. Instead, he spoke as if nothing had happened.

When Wang Tiangu heard what Nanlong Hou said, he immediately shut up. Although the other people were also a little confused, they didn't say much.

After all, looking at the appearance of those two mages, it seemed that they had some kind of grudge against Yin Mo, and they were too lazy to meddle in their business.

So, under the leadership of Nanlong Hou and the old man in white, several people turned into several rays of light and quickly left the place.

Along the edge of the grassland, go all the way west.

……

Half a day later, the group of monks arrived at a bare rocky hill.

The mountain was only a few hundred feet high, with no grass growing on it, and was covered with huge gray-white rocks.

When they saw this mountain, Yin Mo and others were all surprised.

Could it be that the cave of the master in the sky is in this inconspicuous stone mountain?
There is a lack of spiritual energy here. If it weren't for Nanlong Hou leading the way, they would never have found this place.

"Okay, this is it. Fellow Taoist Yun and I will open the outer restrictions first, and a few fellow Taoists should follow suit."

Nanlong Hou solemnly instructed Yin Mo and the others, then he and the old man in white shirt stepped forward side by side, facing the mountain, and each of them took out a small flag from their arms.

The two small flags were several inches in size. One was shining green and crystal clear, while the other was misty yellow with runes floating on it. It was obvious that they were not ordinary objects.

Seeing Nanlong Hou's actions, Yin Mo and others couldn't help but hold their breath and watch the two of them cast spells carefully.

I saw two people muttering to themselves, and low incantations came out of their mouths slowly and steadily.

At the same time, the two small flags began to flicker and gradually began to shake on their own, as if they were about to fly away.

"go with!"

Almost at the same moment, Nanlong Hou and the old man in white shirt let go, and the small flags in their hands flew out.

After a flash of light, the small flag quickly disappeared into a rock on the surface of the mountain and disappeared without a trace.

After a while, everything was back to normal, nothing happened.

A hint of doubt appeared on the faces of Yin Mo and others at the same time.

The old woman coughed lightly and was about to ask something when the ground beneath her feet suddenly shook, causing most people to sway and almost lose their balance.

But the next scene made Yin Mo's face change slightly and he was shocked.

The earth trembled and a thin crack appeared, from which a soft white light shone, extending from top to bottom along the small stone mountain.

The stone mountain seemed to be split in half.

When Yin Mo and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but gasp and felt terrified of the stone-splitting ability of Nanlong Hou and the other man.

Despite their shock, they remained calm on the surface, looking at the scene before them with a normal expression.

But only you know what you are thinking in your heart.

Wang Chan and Yan Ruyan, who had the lowest cultivation, stood behind Wang Tiangu, their faces pale and silent.

Yin Mo glanced at the two men coldly, then looked away.

Before obtaining the treasure, there seems to be no chance to attack Wang Chan.

Nanlong Hou and the old man in white shirt kept chanting spells.

After a short period of effort, the stone mountain was finally split into two, forming a huge crack about ten feet wide.

In the crack, there appeared a bluestone staircase leading directly underground.

"let's go."

The old man in white shirt spoke briefly and excitedly, and led the way in.

The initiator, Nanlong Hou, smiled slightly and followed behind.

Yin Mo's heart moved.

It seems that this old man in white is not simple, as he can actually gain the respect of Nanlong Hou here.

The others seemed to have noticed something as well. They exchanged glances with each other, but no one started talking. Instead, they followed him in.

The steps are very long, with white moonstones inlaid on both sides.

But as we descended, it became increasingly cold.

Soon after, the group went about a hundred feet below the stone mountain.

The light emitted by the moonstone was no longer soft white, but turned into a dark green, making the passage appear darker and filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Yin Mo frowned and subconsciously kept a distance from the black-faced monk in front of him to ensure that he had time to react in case of any accidents.

Not only Yin Mo, but all the other old men except Nanlong Hou and the old man in white shirt also made the same move, keeping a distance of more than ten feet.

Although Nanlong Hou and the old man surnamed Yun understood that others were wary of them, they pretended not to know and continued to stride forward without any dissatisfaction.

After a meal, Yin Mo and others entered a mysterious hall one by one.

The walls of this hall were sparkling with blue light, and they were transparent and crystal clear, as if they were carved out of huge jade, and were extremely gorgeous.

Standing in this huge hall that was dozens of feet wide, everyone showed surprised expressions.

Of course, these things can't be real jade!

The moment Yin Mo entered the hall, he tried to use his spiritual sense to explore a wall.

But after the spiritual consciousness came into contact, it was bounced back and could not penetrate at all.

Yin Mo was not surprised and continued to use his spiritual sense to explore every corner of the hall.

The result is the same in all cases.

Yin Mo muttered a few words in his heart, then turned his gaze to others.

Wang Tiangu, the monk surnamed You and others also frowned, obviously feeling that the situation was a bit tricky.

"Could this be the place where the 'Tai Miao Divine Prohibition' was set up? It seems that what Nan Longhou said was not an exaggeration."

Yin Mo was thinking secretly when the whole hall suddenly shook violently, followed by a series of loud noises behind him.

The old woman and others were startled and looked back hurriedly.

However, he discovered that the passage at the entrance had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a wall that was also flashing blue light.

The whole hall suddenly turned into a dead place.

"Fellow Daoist Nanlong, what does this mean?" Seeing this, the black-faced man's face darkened and he asked.

Wang Tiangu and others also looked alert, their eyes flickering as they stared at Nanlong Hou and the old man in white.

"My fellow Taoists, you are worrying too much!"

"This is just the external ban that activated automatically and sealed the stone mountain again."

"It was the same when we were here last time."

"As long as we wait in the hall for three days, we will be able to open the Stone Mountain again when the ban is at its weakest."

"We won't be trapped here. And once the restrictions are closed, we don't have to worry about the mages outside discovering us."

Nanlong Hou was not surprised at all and spoke calmly.

The black-faced man and others were somewhat skeptical after hearing this, but their expressions gradually relaxed.

As long as Nanlonghou and the other two were in the hall, they wouldn't have to worry about being trapped.

"In that case, I was a little rash just now." The black-faced man clasped his fists and said in apology.

"It doesn't matter! Let's quickly break this restriction."

"This is where Fellow Daoist Yun and I failed last time. The 'Taimiao Divine Prohibition' is not easy to crack." Nanlong Hou smiled and looked unconcerned.

"Is this restriction really that difficult to break?"

"I got a treasure before, which is specially used to restrain various forbidden shields."

"Perhaps we don't need to go through so much trouble. We can break this restriction by just using this treasure?"

The wrinkles on the old woman's face suddenly relaxed, and she spoke to everyone's surprise.

"Oh? If Madam Tai really has this rare treasure, of course you can give it a try."

"Although we can use our spiritual sense to unlock the restriction, we are not 100% sure."

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the old man in white, and he answered without hesitation.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Yun, you may as well give it a try. We will not stop you."

Nanlong Hou also said with surprise.

"Since both of you have agreed, I won't be polite."

"However, if I successfully use this treasure to break the restriction, can I choose the treasure with you two fellow Taoists first?"

The old woman smiled, and a sharp light flashed in her originally hazy eyes, revealing her true purpose.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the cold-faced monk, Wang Tiangu and others changed slightly, but then they looked at Nanlonghou and the other two, waiting for their answers.

Nan Longhou showed a hint of surprise on his face, but then turned to the people in the hall and said:
"Whether it's Madam Tai or other Taoist friends, as long as they can break the restrictions here, they can choose one first after we have selected the treasures. What do you think?"

He deliberately looked at the expressions of Yin Mo and others.

Yin Mo and Wang Tiangu both seemed indifferent, and although the black-faced man and the cultivator named You looked unhappy, they did not object to the matter and acquiesced.

Nan Longhou smiled and immediately said to the old woman: "The other Taoist friends have no objection, Madam Tai, you can take action now."
