Chapter 69: Battle of Wanjin Tower
"But..." The man in the mirror changed the subject and said, "I need to know your identity first."
"That's what I meant." Liang Yue said, "If you don't even reveal your true appearance, then I can't be confident in telling you the secret of Qianyang Sword Pill."
"If your identity is reliable, I will naturally show up." said the person in the mirror.
"Whether he is reliable or not depends on what you think." Liang Yue said slowly, "There are four great sword masters in the world, and the one who sent me here is one of them. He himself was not convenient to enter Longyuan City, so he asked me to contact the owner of Wanjin Tower."
The person in the mirror hesitated for a moment and said, "Lu?"
Among the four great sword masters, the only one who did not dare to enter Longyuan City was naturally the one who sat in the third seat of Bashan.
Liang Yue did not comment, and his attitude clearly showed that he had acquiesced.
"That's right. The four great sword masters all come from the Xuanmen Sword Controlling Sect. It's only because he can't contact the Baishi Sect to refine weapons that he can find me." The man in the mirror chuckled twice, "Then I will show up and meet you."
As he spoke, ripples appeared in the mirror in front of him and his figure walked out of it.
"I finally saw the true face of the Wanjin Tower Master." Liang Yue said with a smile: "It's really not easy."
"In fact, I should have treated you well when you come to refine weapons with the lost secrets. It's just that things are a bit special recently, so I'm a little cautious." The owner of Wanjin Tower lifted his hood, revealing his extremely weathered face: "What's your name, Excellency?"
"I have been following my master in the mountains since I was young, and people in the martial arts world call me the Prodigal Son Yan Qing." Liang Yue made up a story.
"Brother Yan, now that you and I have met in person, can you let me take a look at the remaining secrets?" Wanjin Tower Master said again: "I have to take a look before I can determine whether I can refine it."
"Let's follow the rules." Liang Yue said, "You and the formation master you are looking for should check the secrets in front of me. You cannot make any records. Only in this way can I rest assured."
The owner of Wanjin Tower frowned slightly and said, "The formation master I'm talking about is my senior brother. It's not convenient for him to show up, so I have to show it to him. You can rest assured that my Wanjin Tower is a big family with a great business, and we will never do such a treacherous and covetous thing."
"Oh, Master Wanjin certainly has his credibility, but if you were me, would you believe in such an approach?" Liang Yue stared at him and said, "If you are really embarrassed, then we can ask for help from someone else."
He pretended to turn around and leave.
"Eh." Wanjin Tower Master couldn't give up the temptation of such a top-level magical weapon after all. He hesitated and said, "Wait a moment."
As he spoke, he turned around again and entered the mirror again, as if dissolving into the water.
After a while, the owner of Wanjin Tower came back again and said, "My senior brother said that he can only look at the secret with me behind this magic mirror, and his true appearance will not be revealed."
"You are hiding your head and showing your tail, you have bad intentions." Liang Yue was immediately displeased and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have placed high hopes on your Wanjin Building."
"Please stay——"
As he left this time, ripples finally appeared in the mirror again, and a person walked out.
"Please forgive me, sir. If I hadn't confirmed it many times, I would have been worried that you were here to lure me out." This person was also dressed in a black robe and refused to reveal his face. From his voice, he seemed to be about the same age as the owner of Wanjin Tower.
Opposite the Wanjin Building, the blind young man Mo Qiuren in the private room suddenly tilted his ear. On his knees was a book, the pages of which were turning frantically without wind.
All of this was naturally part of their plan, and their bet was that the two brothers, Wu Mozi and Wu Yuzi, would not be able to withstand the temptation of the top-level magical weapon, and would appear under the lure of the Qianyang Sword Pill.
"Wu Mozi shows up." He suddenly said, "Shoot the arrow!"
On the roof of the attic, Lin Fenghe, who was holding a golden bow and silver arrow, looked down from above. He picked up the bow, and a jade talisman was tied to the arrow. He shot out with a burst of golden and silver light!
call out--
The arrow instantly shot into the Wanjin Building, the jade talisman exploded, and in an instant a ball of silver light expanded infinitely, covering the entire building!
Liang Yue clearly heard the exclamations of the two people opposite him.
“Heaven-level array-breaking talisman!”
……
As soon as the battle started, Liang Yue flipped his hand and crushed a white jade talisman.
The moment the jade talisman shattered, Liang Yue's figure became transparent and disappeared into the air.
This is the life-saving talisman that Li Mo gave him, an invisibility jade talisman. The advantage is that it does not require true energy to activate, can be cast instantly, and can conceal the breath. Even people who are several realms higher than him will find it difficult to detect.
The downside is...it's expensive.
Very expensive.
The price of such a talisman that can save a life at a critical moment is ridiculously expensive in the market. Fortunately, in many cases, it is the premium caused by the insufficient production capacity of the Xuanmen, and the actual cost is not that high.
So Liang Yue didn't feel too sad when using this talisman.
At the same time, a loud roar was heard from the top of Wanjin Tower, and Shang Yunhai, a man with a lion's head, fell down with a roar. As soon as he landed, he did not go straight to the two men in black robes, Wu Mozi and Wu Yuzi, but turned over and rushed to the top of the spiral staircase over there.
On the top of the dome, there is a relief mural of two real dragons.
"He is going to destroy the strange gate of Wanjin Tower!" Wu Yuzi shouted.
No matter whether it is a mechanism or a magic weapon, the core is the formation, and the core existence that records all the formations is called "Privy". Getting the Privy of a formation is equivalent to knowing everything about it, including all its strengths and weaknesses.
The biggest weakness is the energy source. A large and complex formation cannot be maintained by manpower all the time. When it is built, it must either absorb the essence of the sun and moon or the energy of mountains and rivers, or it must be supported by some treasures that contain huge spiritual power.
The source of this spiritual power is called "Qi Men" and is the most important part of the formation.
Once the secret of a large formation is cracked and its strange gate is known, it will be easy to break it. Correspondingly, the person who created the formation will also try to hide the strange gate as much as possible, and add a lot of fog and defense in the secret.
The competition between formation masters is usually a competition between attacking and defending the Qimen.
As soon as Shang Yunhai landed, he went straight to the place where the strange door was hidden, which really frightened Wu Yuzi so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
This Wanjin Tower was built entirely by him personally and is the result of his hard work. How could the other party have such a capable person who could see through his secrets so easily?
They wanted to escape, but the opponent used a heavenly-level formation-breaking talisman, and all his formations were temporarily ineffective under its cover.
The Breaking Array Talisman was originally created by the Talisman Master to restrain the formation, and it can suppress the formation. Ordinary Breaking Array Talismans cannot suppress Wanjin Tower, but there are not many Heaven-level Breaking Array Talismans even in the Talisman Sect. Only a few people can refine it, and the cost is extremely high. Using it here today is really a great expense.
The people from the Zhuxie Division attacked together, and soon they had no time to care about Shang Yunhai anymore, because a bright sword light followed closely behind them and went straight for Wu Mozi!
"The Fulu Sect and the Yujian Sect are here..." Wu Mozi said in a deep voice, "It's the Zhuxie Yamen!"
Under the power of the formation-breaking talisman, he was unable to cast the formation and could only raise his left hand, lift up his black robe and block the flying sword.
His black robe should be some kind of powerful magic weapon with very solid defensive capabilities, but under the power of Gu Jian Qingqiu, it was still pierced through by one sword!
laugh--
The sword penetrated the black robe directly, piercing it and nailing it to the mirror behind him with a clang.
Wu Mozi moved extremely quickly and got out of the robe, thus avoiding being penetrated along with the black robe.
Without the black robe covering him, his true appearance was revealed. He looked short, with sparse hair, a big head and a small body. He looked very old. Compared with his junior brother Wu Yuzi, he looked even older.
"What a sharp sword!" Wu Mozi was still frightened.
When he dodged the sword, Wu Yuzi beside him turned over and tried to escape back into the mirror.
But a string of yellow talismans flew from nowhere and stuck to the black mirror, sealing it mysteriously. Wu Yuzi bumped into it, but was bounced back with a clang.
Seeing that the people from the Zhuxie Division had surrounded him in a flash, Wu Mozi bit his left thumb, leaving a blood mark on it. Then a line suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand, and it was burning with red-gold flames!
There is a faint word "Lin".
Liang Yue was trying to hide and leave the battlefield at this time, but when the word "Lin" came out, he suddenly felt something in his heart and felt a familiar breath.
No one else present knew what it was, but he was the only one who could be very sure that this was definitely a force from the same origin as the word "斗" on his palm!
call out--
The burning Lin character seal emitted a golden light, and the remaining effect of the formation-breaking talisman disappeared in an instant, as if it had been wiped out by some mysterious power!
"Go!" Wu Mozi yelled.
Wu Yuzi felt that Wanjin Building had reestablished its connection with him, and immediately he performed a spell with his hands, and the entire building began to shake wildly, as if it had come alive! The relief murals on the surrounding walls began to peel off, transforming into living monsters and ferocious beasts!
It’s a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Just as Shang Yunhai rushed to the dome mural, the two real dragons suddenly came back to life, rushed down from above, and opened their mouths wide to devour his body!
"Roar--" Shang Yunhai flipped his hand and tied the neck of a dragon, and fought with it. The other carved dragon was about to open its mouth, but suddenly a blazing golden meteor came from the distant sky.
Whoosh, boom—
The huge dragon head was blown up by an arrow.
Lin Fenghe, who was high outside the building, smiled sideways and shook his long hair.
The entire Wanjin Tower was like a large magical weapon. As the effect of the formation-breaking talisman was eliminated, Wu Yuzi was able to activate various arrangements in the building, and countless mechanisms and strange beasts descended one after another.
Wu Mozi took advantage of the chaos, waved his sleeves, and a ball of white light appeared under his feet.
"Teleportation array." Upon seeing this, Wen Yifan swung his halberd finger and the sword light came out again!
Wu Mozi was trapped in the formation and wanted to escape by taking the sword head-on, but he clasped his hands together and a light barrier appeared out of thin air.
But how could he take this sword so easily?
With a swish, Gu Jian Qingqiu once again crushed the enemy with ease, piercing through the light array in an instant, followed by Wu Mozi's chest!
"Ah..." He was seriously injured by the sword, fell to the ground, and immediately lost the ability to resist.
Over there, Li Mo waved the talisman, and a gust of wind swept over, trying to drag him out of the formation.
At this moment, a huge phantom descended from the sky. It was pitch black and shaped like a Buddha. It brought with it supreme pressure and suppressed the scene.
The wind created by Li Mo was blocked by the shadow of the Buddha statue. Wen Yifan's flying sword wanted to attack Wu Mozi again, but was also blocked by the shadow of the Buddha.
call out--
The sword whizzed past, piercing a hole in the palm of the Buddha's shadow. But after a slight delay, Wu Mozi's figure disappeared along with the light of the teleportation array.
Although he could not teleport out of the city due to the large city defense formation, Longyuan City was so large that it would be difficult to find Wu Mozi.
Shang Yunhai had already smashed another carved dragon, and then leaped up and smashed the darkness behind the dragon's body with one punch, revealing a complicated formation pattern hidden in it!
Boom!
The strange gate was destroyed and the Wanjin Building became quiet in an instant.
Only Wen Yifan's voice echoed coldly, "Du Jian, what do you people from the Dragon and Tiger Hall mean?"
