Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 118 The Mysterious Manor

"Five Elements Formation?"

This novel thing piqued Guan Xun's curiosity; she had never actually heard of formations before.

It sounds like it was created using spiritual energy.

“The two are different. Illusions can be broken and escaped, but if an array is forcibly broken, the user will be expelled from this place and will not be able to re-enter,” Xiaoyu said.

Guan Xun understood the meaning behind these words. If she forcibly broke the formation, she would not be allowed to enter the Burning Phoenix Manor, and her trip would be in vain, yielding nothing.

"How can we break this? Are we going to be trapped here forever?" Guan Xun frowned unhappily, finding it troublesome.

"The core of the formation, the point where energy is concentrated."

"The core of the formation," Guan Xun murmured, rubbing his chin a few times with his fingertips. "The place where the energy is most concentrated?"

She immediately focused her mind and carefully explored her surroundings, but she found no source of energy and nothing seemed amiss.

If there's anything unusual about it, it's this subtle buzzing sound... It seems this sound must be related to the formation, and it's very likely the key point of the formation.

The sound, whose source is unknown, seems to come from all directions; finding its exact location is no easy task.

Although this place looks pleasant and safe, it is precisely in such places that we need to be more vigilant, as deception is a common tactic used by the enemy.

Guan Xun did not wander around rashly. Instead, he first used his divine sense to explore the surrounding area. Apart from hills, trees, flowers, and some small animals, he did not find anything obviously dangerous within a few miles.

She composed herself before walking towards the main house.

Several ancient trees stand tall beside the house, their numerous roots hanging heavily down onto the green tiles around the eaves.

It looks casual, but it's not sloppy at all.

Guan Xun followed the winding path up the steps. The main house was so exquisite that not a speck of dust could be found. She easily kicked open the locked door, and then a strange light flashed in her eyes.

This so-called formation was indeed different from the illusion; everything that could be seen could be touched, and it was not an illusion.

The room was empty, without even the most basic tables and chairs, with only a pile of burnt, scarlet charcoal at the far end.

It is slowly emitting sparks and occasionally radiating a little warmth.

Beside the charcoal, a woman with her hair tied up leaned against the wall. She sat on the ground, her head buried between her knees, her body trembling slightly.

Guan Xun recognized the person at a glance; it was Lin Miao, who had been talking to her earlier.

The commotion made Lin Miao suddenly raise her head. She was somewhat surprised to see Guan Xun, but then she breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Finally, someone has arrived. There wasn't a soul around. I was afraid of encountering danger, so I hid here first."

"Looks like you've been here for quite a while?" Guan Xun glanced at the charcoal indifferently.

Lin Miao sighed helplessly, picked up the spear beside her, and walked straight towards the door: "Yes, the moment I entered this manor, for some reason, everyone disappeared inexplicably, which really scared me."

As she spoke, she shook her head again, her tone tinged with doubt: "Did you meet anyone else?"

Guan Xun shook his head.

"Oh, then let's go together, it'll be good to have company." Lin Miao walked past her and took the lead down the steps.

Guan Xun stared intently at the other person's back, then calmly followed.

Lin Miao seemed very happy to have met someone. As she walked, she kept muttering, "Everyone here came from Chongtianchi. You must be no exception."

"Aren't you?"

Lin Miao paused, turned to look at Guan Xun, nodded stiffly a few times, and forced a smile: "Yes, me too."

"However, there are so many strong people, it will be difficult for us to break in. Actually, this place is quite nice, with birds singing and flowers blooming, making it very suitable for people to live in. If we fail, it would be good to stay."

Guan Xun's eyes were deep and unfathomable, but he stood still: "Your desire to stay is quite strong."

"It's just an analogy. Who wouldn't want to live in a place like this?" Lin Miao's lips curled into a smile again. "If you had the chance, you'd want to too, wouldn't you?"

"I don't want to." Guan Xun said indifferently, her red lips parting slightly. She turned her wrist and a surge of powerful spiritual energy rushed into her palm. She then swung the wrist and struck the other person.

The spiritual energy flashed to Lin Miao's side and passed directly through her chest, blasting the ancient tree behind her into two pieces! The ancient tree fell to the ground, creating a huge crater.

The force of this attack was clearly intended to kill.

At this moment, Lin Miao's figure twisted at an eerie angle like silk, then dispersed like clouds and completely disappeared into the air.

"Playing tricks." Seeing that the scene was exactly as he had guessed, Guan Xun clicked his tongue dismissively.

The so-called "Lin Miao" is nothing more than a human form created by an array. Even if she can mimic speech and actions, she has no thoughts of the original body.

Guan Xun hadn't sensed any living beings around him, so the sudden appearance of a person in the main house, which wasn't far away, was quite abrupt.

Furthermore, every word he spoke subtly guided her to say she should stay, which was quite eerie.

However, the fallen trees looked very realistic.

Just as the figures disappeared and the trees fell, Chi Rong instantly sensed that something was wrong.

As a divine beast, its senses are naturally much more acute than those of humans. It immediately raised its head and flicked its tongue, saying, "Master, someone is coming this way."

"direction."

Chi Rong turned his head and analyzed, "The right side."

"No, no!" it exclaimed, then quickly shook its head and looked up at the sky, its chin raised. "It's up there!"

What, above?

Guan Xun immediately looked up and indeed spotted several small black dots in the azure sky, which were rapidly descending.

At the same time, a hissing sound inexplicably came from the ground covered with countless tender green grasses. Wisps of white smoke slowly rose from the grass roots, spreading into the air and completely obscuring the originally vast and bright surroundings, instantly losing sight of the surroundings.

The idyllic paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers was instantly shrouded in darkness and eeriness.

With a few whooshing sounds, the towering ancient tree creaked and groaned, as if it were being tossed about by a strong wind, swaying back and forth.

The space was psychedelic and terrifying; even if a deadly attack were launched from it, its exact location could not be determined.

Guan Xuan frowned and turned around abruptly. He intended to go up to the roof of the main building, but was shocked to find that the main building, which had been behind him, had disappeared without him noticing.

A faint crackling sound reached her ears, and when she turned her head, the vanished main house had mysteriously reappeared in front of her, with the bluestone steps right in front of her.

This is to let her in.

Guan Xun's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly took a few steps back, looking around in disbelief. The main house was actually moving!

No, it should be that everything around us is moving.
