"Array Eye——"

Ning Ning leaned against the tree trunk, tangled a stray lock of black hair around her fingers, and stared at the waterfall at her feet in a daze: "Where will the formation eye be?"

She couldn't think of an answer, so she spread all her long hair on her fingertips with some distress, and tapped her toes in front of Pei Ji: "Pei Ji, do you have any ideas?"

Ning Ning didn't like to call him "junior brother", she always felt that the name was easier to pronounce, but Pei Ji was very disciplined and it seemed that he had never called her "Ning Ning" once.

This time is naturally no exception.

"Sister."

He still has the same cold face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. If he were born in the 21st century, he might be mistaken for facial muscle stiffness after too much Botox.

Just like his expression, Pei Ji's tone was also very calm: "We know very little about the secret realm. Everything I can think of is nonsense to you."

"how could be!"

She couldn't hurt her junior brother's self-confidence, so she immediately took a step forward, stood up straight and leaned against the tree: "If you have any ideas, just tell us, we have to discuss it together!"

Pei Ji seemed to sigh quietly: "Firstly, the location of the formation eye must be very hidden and will not be easily thought of by others; secondly, according to the "General Principles of Formation", the formation eye usually has the same attributes as the formation.

are closely related, and the formation of water mirror...the key lies in the water pool or the mirror surface."

He said expressionlessly, watching Ning Ning's expression change from anticipation to "Oh, that's it" and finally to "I know this too".

After he finished speaking, Pei Ji raised his eyebrows uncharacteristically, still keeping his eyes met with Ning Ning, with a vague intention of waiting for a good show.

Translated into easy-to-understand vernacular, it means "Look, look, I've told you before, but you still don't believe it."

Ning Ning failed in the battle, and his thoughts were clearly understood by him. She knew she was wrong and coughed lightly: "This is nonsense, this is called telepathy. Let's think of it together. How great."

Cheng Ying was obedient and only listened to the keywords. When he heard the words, he giggled and said, "She said you two have a telepathic connection!"

She couldn't hear Cheng Ying's chatter, and continued to analyze patiently: "If it is related to water, there are so many rivers and lakes in the secret realm, we can't exclude them one by one - but in terms of specialness, except for this waterfall where there is no mirror ghost,

It seems that all water pools are the same."

Qiao Yan had explained to her before that the reason why the waterfall was not disturbed by mirror ghosts was because the spirit fox clan needed water for survival, so when setting up the formation, they specially doubled the spiritual power here.

When Qin Niang mentioned the formation eye, the first place that flashed in Ning Ning's mind was this place. So after bidding farewell to the former, she and Pei Ji soon came here.

However, she came with high expectations, but all her efforts were in vain. She looked over the waterfall up and down, but could not find anything fishy.

Ning Ning stood on the top of the mountain in frustration, looking at the torrent flowing down not far away, and couldn't help but frown: "Let's talk about mirrors, there doesn't seem to be any particularly eye-catching mirrors in the secret realm... The clues we have

It’s still too little.”

They had just arrived in the secret realm not long ago and had not even seen the true appearance of Demon Lord Qi Han. It was difficult to deduce anything useful based on the scant information available.

——Currently, the only one who can provide clues to the formation is the missing Demon Lord. However, once the two of them bump into him, they may say goodbye to this beautiful world before they can break through the formation.

"Have no idea."

Ning Ning was a little frustrated: "How about we go directly into the water and go to the other side of the formation to have a look?"

Pei Ji was about to nod in response, but suddenly he paused, drew his sword out of its sheath, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the quiet jungle beside him.

The sky was clear and cloudless, and the yellow moon was dim and blurry, like a rough frosted glass, and it was not clear no matter how you looked at it.

The moonlight shines on the treetops, reflecting the dark and quiet night. The wind blows through the branches of the trees, causing the leaves to rustle and reflect on the ground, like a ferocious monster, waiting for the arrival of its prey with its bloody mouth open.

There was only the loud roar of the waterfall in all directions. Although it was already entering the summer night, Ningning felt a biting chill. The invisible pressure was like broken ice chips, quietly spreading and growing in the air. When it came into contact with her body

, like an ice cube being pressed down hard.

She heard a deep laugh coming from the bushes.

Then a figure slowly moved forward, passing through the shadows of the trees like an undercurrent, and strolled up to them.

That was a young man Ning Ning had never seen before. He was tall and burly with thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, he looked like a towering hill.

Even if he didn't speak, the strong spiritual pressure emanating from his body could already set off alarm bells in her heart, causing her to take a defensive posture reflexively.

"The weather is nice tonight. The sky and moon are pretty, right?"

The man actually smiled in a good mood, looked up at the night sky with interest, and then took a rough look at the two swordsmen in front of him, and raised his brows provocatively: "I heard... you are looking for a formation? Progress?

How's it going?"

He smiled in a weird way, and his whole person was full of anger from the inside out, not to mention that the triangular pair was slightly raised, giving him a fierce and ruthless look.

Presumably this is the Demon Lord Qi Han.

Pei Ji still maintained the action of drawing his sword and confronting him. He pulled Ning Ning behind him with a gentle pull of his left hand without any explanation.

"At this time, you still want to protect this little girl?"

Qi Han was still laughing at this moment, but the next moment his expression suddenly changed, and his face was full of evil aura as if it were a black cloud: "It's a pity that none of you can survive today!"

he is very angry.

The idiot surnamed He actually put him in a fight. Before the two sides started fighting, he took another sword cultivator and ran away without stopping. The two people ran very fast. Although Qi Han had the intention to chase him, he quickly disappeared.

Their silhouettes.

News came from the surviving magic cultivators in the settlement, claiming that "Qin Niang" had rebelled, Qiao Yan had fled, and the secret of the formation eye might have been leaked.

The reason why today's water mirror formation can survive is that his spiritual power is almost the entire source of power. If the formation's eye is broken, it will be a fatal blow to Qi Han;

Unfortunately, he couldn't dismantle the formation on his own, otherwise the demonic energy on the other side of the water mirror would backfire and all his fellow clan members except him would die.

Although they are demon cultivators, they still have some feelings in their hearts.

Qi Han was not stupid. When he learned that the formation eye was leaked, he immediately expected that someone would come to the waterfall.

It is not invaded by mirror ghosts and is so special that it is obviously different from other water pools.

However, the fact is that the truth is exactly as Qiao Yan knew. This place is a water source that he specially protected with twice his spiritual power.

As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic aura came with a powerful force of anger, causing Lin Qian outside the Xuanjing to exclaim: "No! The demon king has a high level of cultivation, the two of them will definitely be invincible!"

"If you run away from the waterfall, you will be caught up quickly."

An elder from the Haoran Sect frowned: "Strange...where is the core of the formation?"

Tian Xianzi suppressed his smile in a rare move, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The black energy enveloped the entire mountain top in an instant, condensing into a ferocious dragon beside Qi Han, vaguely ready to attack.

If it had been in the past, Ning Ning might have panicked and lost her position.

But since she saw the blood tree riot in the ancient forest sea, and had a confrontation with Xuan Ye, who is also a demon king, in the city of Jialan, her character and courage have been tempered a lot, and they are not as good as when she first came to this world.

Simple ignorance is like a blank sheet of paper.

She also secretly gathered her sword energy and whispered to Pei Ji: "Be careful."

As soon as the words fell, the black mist surged violently, like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring. Ordinary people could only see the black mist getting thicker and thicker, leaning forward at an incredible speed;

Ning Ning, who had achieved a small level of cultivation, looked closely and saw countless sharp-edged thin fragments floating in the air. Each piece was as sharp as a knife and shone with a chilling cold light under the moonlight.

Following Qi Han's low shout, the overwhelming demonic energy surged forward, like thousands of arrows shooting straight at the Mingmen of Ning Ning and Pei Ji!

The demonic energy came so quickly that it was too late to run away or hide. Pei Ji stood in front of her, quickly bit her fingertips, drew a talisman on the sword, and immediately held the sword horizontally in front of her.

The black air submerged the night like a tide, roaring forward. When Pei Ji was approaching, the long sword made a buzzing sound, and the talisman suddenly burst out with a dazzling red light——

However, the demonic energy actually dispersed in mid-air just a stone's throw away from him, without touching the two of them at all.

Qi Han's eyes flashed.

The young man dressed in black turned out to be a descendant of the demon clan. He used his own demonic blood as a guide and tried his best to block his attack.

However, their cultivation levels were far apart, so he was destined not to last long.

Qi Han knew the situation well, and Ning Ning, who was protected by Pei Ji behind him, also knew it well.

Although there is only one layer of cultivation between the Golden Core and Yuanying, their strength is very different. Pei Ji could temporarily block the invading demonic energy, but he had already used all his strength. When the spiritual power was worn away bit by bit,

They still cannot escape death.

The back of the young man in front of her was thin and tall, and cast a thin shadow under the moonlight, completely covering her.

Ning Ning couldn't see Pei Ji's expression, but could only see that his back was shaking uncontrollably.

Without any warning, Pei Ji's voice came to my ears.

He had always been strong and would not show his pain at any time, so he tried his best to suppress the trembling in his words at this time, and told her in an extremely weak but firm tone: "Run."

Ning Ning's heart skipped a beat.

Pei Ji must be unable to hold on any longer. When the demonic energy surges in, they will all be seriously injured in this place. He has no choice but to let her escape as soon as possible.

But if she leaves, with his little remaining spiritual power, he will definitely die in the demonic tide.

The demonic energy showed no tendency to subside, but the long sword in Pei Ji's hand had already appeared a slender crack, which became more and more dense like a spider web.

At the moment when the sword was about to shatter, he smelled the familiar fragrance of gardenia in the chaotic black mist around him.

Pei Ji originally thought that Ning Ning had escaped.

But she still stayed behind him. At the critical moment, Pei Ji heard her voice: "How could I leave you alone... Don't underestimate your senior sister."

Then there was a flash of sword light.

Ning Ning stepped forward, unsheathed her sword, and stabbed straight at the wave of demonic energy with the Star Mark Sword. Although she was not like Pei Ji who possessed demonic energy, the sword intent in her body exploded at this moment, forming a wave of demonic energy.

The brief confrontation allowed Pei Ji to block a fatal blow.

The sword energy and the demonic energy are like water and fire, they are incompatible, and they bite each other the moment they collide, and explode in all directions with a loud bang.

Ning Ning and Pei Ji were both knocked back a few steps and coughed out blood. Qi Han also stiffened his face and took back the demonic energy.

"Very reluctant, right?"

Qi Han moved his wrists carelessly, with a leisurely smile in his eyes: "Don't be sad, the Fox Clan will go down to accompany you soon. With their demeanor, they will all be able to return to the west in less than ten days.

"

He paused as he spoke, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth deepened: "It's a pity that you will never know where I arranged the formation eye until your death... This is also human nature, no one can guess that kind of place."

A place where no one can guess.
