Chapter 2946: Hidden Hand

sions of astonishment, it seemed that even they didn't know who had made the move. 。As for Luo Qing, there seemed to be surprise in her eyes, along with a hint of hesitation. She didn't seem too sure...As the middle-aged Taoist nun pointed at the dust threads piercing into the ground, wisps of faint white light were released. However, it did not have any effect on the enemy, but instead spread further afield.

Lu Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, his divine sense chasing after those few faint white lights. These faint white lights had a very high degree of compatibility with the earth layers and were not aggressive. Even if it was him, if he deliberately infused his divine sense into the earth layers, it would be extremely difficult to find them.

If he were aggressive, Lu XiaTian wouldn't have hesitated to let the Boundary Breaker go through. Right now, however, it doesn't pose much of a threat to him.

Lu Xiaoteng sent a strand of divine consciousness into the body of the Riftworm. When the lotus avatar swapped places with the Heavenly Demon Lord disguised as a middle-aged Taoist priestess, the lotus avatar's sword light blazed, concealing the faint ripples caused by Lu Xiaoteng summoning the Riftworm. The Riftworm silently burrowed into the earth. When the lotus avatar and the Heavenly Demon Lord made their move, the vast expanse of sword light and surging demonic energy created a greater commotion, serving as the perfect cover for the Riftworm.

The Boundary Breaking Worms were extremely adept at concealing their aura. However, after arriving at Muye, facing these immortals, Lu Xia Tian wasn't sure if he could still hide as effectively as before. After all, the people around him were no longer comparable to those from the past.

In short, proceed with caution. Under the cover of Lotus Avatar and Heavenly Demon Lord, the Boundary Breaking Worm approached the faint white light.

Thread after thread of faint white light, traveling thousands of miles underground away from everyone, began to converge and form a twisting, living rune. This rune shone into the depths of a gray door emitting an eerie, heavy aura.

Two stone gates each had a skeleton standing guard on either side, brandishing a gun. The hollow eye sockets of the skeletons seemed to hold some sort of intent as they stared out at the world.

The twisted runes split in two, disappearing into the skulls on either side. In an instant, the skulls on the stone door seemed to come alive, with a swirl of white light above them. The two skull phantoms emerged from within the stone door, each wielding a long spear. As they clashed their spears, a gray light curtain formed, shrouding the area around the stone door for dozens of feet.

Then the two heavy stone doors creaked open, parting to both sides. An eerie yet otherworldly aura emanated from within, laced with a hint of fairy-like energy. However, it only spread for a short distance, barely a foot, between the gray light curtain and its surroundings before ceasing to expand further. Two skeletal phantoms flashed in, diving into the gray light curtain. Their long spears crossed, forming a seal resembling a cross. The skeletal phantoms then burrowed into the seal, causing the gray light curtain to thicken abruptly by several feet, appearing impenetrable to outsiders.

“The Immortal Corpse Sealing Spirit Array!” In the inheritance left by Shi Xingkong to Lu Xiaofeng, there was a narration about cultivation and alchemical inheritance. Within cultivation, there were some immortal and Buddhist prohibitions. The Immortal Corpse Sealing Spirit Array is one of the most powerful among them, with strange and unpredictable changes, extremely powerful.

Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to pass through this fairy corpse sealing formation, even for someone like Lu Xia Tian who had some understanding of it. Without knowing how much the boundary worm could contribute, with his current strength alone, even if he was undisturbed, the time it would take him to decipher the formation would easily be hundreds of years.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However, Lu Xia Tian's understanding of this formation was not entirely useless. At least under the circumstance that the middle-aged nun secretly activated it, Lu Xia Tian could see some clues. Through the faint white light emitted by the dust strands penetrating the ground, Lu Xia Tian couldn't tell what it was before. Now it seems that it is most likely related to fairy spirit corpse energy, but the amount is obviously too small. It can only open this seal for a short period of time. However, the fact that the other party turned their back on them while doing this clearly shows that they have other plans.

This Immortal Corpse Cave could allow them to evade the pursuit of the Bamboo Clan behind them, but this Immortal Corpse Cave is just as dangerous as the outside world. Entering the Immortal Corpse Cave without any knowledge could lead them to face attacks from Immortal Corpses, which might even be worse than the threat posed by the Bamboo Clan.

And those few faint white lights were talismans protecting the elderly man with bushy eyebrows from several in the Immortal Corpse Cave. Lu Xia Tian's eyes flickered, he didn't need to crack this formation, just needed to stop the middle-aged Taoist nun and the old man with bushy eyebrows from retrieving those faint white lights, turning them into their own use would be enough.

These wisps of white light, resembling the ethereal aura of a fairy corpse, serve as the entrance pass to this Fairy Corpse Cave. Without these faint white lights enveloping them, they would be considered outsiders by the cave's inhabitants and might face attacks from others. The elder with the thick eyebrows and the middle-aged Daoist nun did not bring them here simply for refuge; they failed to provide them with the conditions necessary to survive within the Fairy Corpse Cave. This act of using someone else as a weapon is indeed cunning.

Compared to cracking this formation, making temporary modifications to this prohibition is something Lu Xia Tian believes he can manage.

The demon-slaying insect that Lu Xia Tian's divine sense had clung to silently climbed onto the grayish light curtain. The dark body of the demon-slaying insect wriggled several times and then burrowed into the grayish light curtain, its color gradually merging with the curtain itself. From the surface, there was no trace of the demon-slaying insect at all.

It seems the Zhú clan are aware of the presence of the Xiān Shī Dòng. Their attacks have become increasingly fierce, but as they approach the outer perimeter of the Xiān Shī Dòng, the Zijūzhú forest dwindles, and their methods lack the previous intimidating effect.

However, since the progress of opening the Xian Shi Dong was uncontrollable, and the middle-aged Daoist nun and the elderly man with thick eyebrows had to make sure they wouldn't be seen through by Lu Xia Tian and the others, otherwise, if Lu Xia Tian and the others pulled their legs at this time, none of them would be able to escape into Xian Shi Dong for refuge. Even though the middle-aged Daoist nun and the others had a backup plan, they all had to face it here.

As a result, some procrastination inevitably occurred. The Zhu family members who were trailing behind came pouring in. The humans had already begun to gain the upper hand, and for a moment, both sides clashed violently. Except that the Huo Yun Monster's strength was too weak, it still remained far away. The others, including the injured Gui Bei Xianren and the cold woman, all fought with true fire.

"Roar!" The wizened elder with bushy brows released three white, long-eyed tigers through the ancient talisman this time. The three white tiger talismans roared through the forest, their roars causing birds to take flight in panic from the distant thickets and scatter in every direction.

At the head of the formation, a bamboo figure stood with a flower basket emitting an eerie bloody glow. Within the basket, purple bamboos sprouted wildly, their thickness and length varying, lashing out like a furious storm. These intertwined bamboo stalks seemed to be weaving a cage-like formation around the cultivators, trapping them within this very spot.

A middle-aged Taoist nun wielded a fly whisk, its strands like unsheathed blades, cutting through the falling bamboo. Countless bamboo stalks and leaves rained down.

... countless bamboo arrows came whistling from afar. The tortoise-backed immortal's figure swelled, his limbs and head retracting into his shell, appearing as a massive turtle shell that constantly shielded the middle-aged Daoist nun, or the aloof woman, in front of them. The sharp bamboo arrows struck the turtle shell with a series of bangs, yet not even a scratch was left behind.
