Chapter 94
Chapter 94: Ethereal Void Beyond the Heavens (Part 3)
The sky is hazy.
Si Cang Qing then led everyone off again; this time, it was truly a life-or-death journey. If we still can't find
the exit, I'm afraid we'll really be at our wits' end!
At that time, it seems we could only leave it to fate.
Si Cang Qing slightly furrowed his brows; he never believed in fate. Even if he fails this time, he will not
resign himself to fate. The Tianji Array... it was created by humans, so it can also be deciphered by human
wisdom!
After going around in circles, the journey is still extremely perilous. Fortunately, although the forest is filled
with poisonous creatures, there are no wild beasts, otherwise, it would have been even harder to escape.
The accompanying group had already lost quite a few due to exhaustion and fell behind midway. In this place
where a moment's inattention can lead to death, everyone can only strive to protect themselves, with no
time to help others. Choosing this path, one cannot blame anyone else.
Just like that, one by one, the group of people was becoming increasingly unable to keep going, gradually
dwindling. The sky quickly darkened again, but this time, Si Cang Qing didn't mention taking a break.
The crowd was almost in despair.
In the forest, it was pitch black, and no one knew why, but even the torches couldn't be lit. Everyone could only
rely on their eyesight and feel their way in the dark. At night, the hissing of poisonous creatures is even
more terrifying. No matter how careful one is, many people still get bitten and poisoned, losing their lives here.
Compared to the first day, everyone was now engulfed in the terror of imminent death, and any previous
thoughts had long been wiped clean. They just wanted to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.
Fearful, yet unable to make a fuss.
Just before despair, Si Cang Qing, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss.
"Stand still!" Si Cang Qing said coldly, and then his body appeared and disappeared in the night and flew in
the jungle in front.
There was a bamboo forest in front of him. Si Cang Qing paused for a moment, and a wisp of fragrance came
into his nose - yes, this is the real life gate of this formation! It seems that this bet was right, and the time
setting rules of all the sub-arrays of the Tianji formation are the same.
Now if he wants to break this formation, Si Cang Qing slowly looked around the bamboo forest. If I'm not
mistaken, there was a forest before this bamboo forest, and now there are only cold ashes left. I think the way
to temporarily break the formation is to simply burn this bamboo forest! Just like what Qi Shuangran did before.
It is almost conceivable that Qi Shuangran, who has been trapped for so long, accidentally broke into the life
gate, helpless, and angry, and simply burned the forest with fire - a lucky coincidence.
The gate of life, unlike other places in the Heze Poison Forest, the air here is clean and the sky is clear.
He broke off a dead branch and started a fire. Si Cang Qing looked at the bamboo forest and then quickly moved
forward from the back to ignite the fire on the bamboo. Suddenly, a sea of fire appeared, which further confirmed
Si Cang Qing's idea that this forest was very easy to catch fire, which was the way to break the formation.
Fire, soaring into the sky.
This forest was also strange, burning very quickly. After a while, it was all on fire, but it didn't ignite other
places at all.
The fire burned for more than half an hour and finally went out gradually.
Si Cang Qing turned around and looked at everyone, his voice cold, "The barrier here has been broken, but
it will be activated again at any time." The implication is that if you want to survive, leave now!
As soon as the words came out, many people hurried to leave. But there were also some people who hesitated
and finally stayed. I don't know if they were really eager to save people or thinking about something else.
Si Cang Qing didn't care about them, looking back at the burned forest. In the distance, in the dark night, it was
still faintly visible that it was a huge building...
The center of the Heze Poison Forest, Tianwaitian?
Beside him, the Grand Protector said in surprise: "How could it be?" He clearly saw that Tianwaitian fell into
a depression with his own eyes, how could it change back again.
Si Cang Qing didn't find it strange. This was the center of the Tianji formation. To really break the Tianji
formation, one had to find a way out in the outer world, right? The entire building collapsed and rose again, but
it was only because the formation was restarted. Although it was a little difficult to do, just looking at this Heze
poison forest, one can imagine how much effort the people of Piaomiao Pavilion had put in to seal this place.
With the power of Piaomiao Pavilion back then, it was actually not impossible.
Without thinking any more, Si Cang Qing bypassed the ashes of the bamboo forest and walked towards the dark
building. The few people left behind and the accompanying guards also followed closely.
In the temporarily broken Heze poison forest, everything seemed to be the same as outside, and the sky was
gradually clearing. The darkness of the night faded away bit by bit, and it seemed that dawn was about to come.
Si Cang Qing walked around the towering house and observed it carefully.
This abrupt house must have been part of Piaomiao Pavilion. The part blocked by the forest vaguely showed
the remains of the house. Now only some debris are left, and only this dark house is almost intact.
This house has no doors or windows. Only two sunken parts were found on one wall - just the tokens of
Piaomiao Palace and Penglai Pavilion.
Is this the entrance?
But now, the two tokens are not around. Si Cang Qing stared at the sunken part and pondered. He took out
the cold iron token again. If the Heze Poison Forest was set up by the owner of Piaomiao Pavilion himself,
this place should also have an entrance that can be opened with this Piaomiao Pavilion token!
◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇
Everyone checked the black house from top to bottom.
Finding a small concave opening outside a huge house is not an easy task.
But there is no other way.
"Master Feng..." A surprised voice came, Si Cang Qing looked up and saw that it was the young man who
recognized him that day. The other party's face was full of joy and said, "There is a half-moon bulge here,
you see..."
Si Cang Qing didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and he jumped up lightly. This is the roof of this
house. He leaned over to look at the bulge that the young man mentioned, and it was indeed half-moon shaped.
Compared with the token in his hand, it was exactly the same.
But, could it be the entrance? Si Cang Qing tentatively put the cold iron token on it. As soon as he approached,
the token was sucked up by a force - magnet?
Without waiting for further thought, the whole house started to spin rapidly. He felt the world spinning, he
couldn't see anything, and there was a rumble that broke eardrums.
All people were sucked in as the Grand Protector said.
Perhaps, the formation was activated again outside!
In a flash, Si Cang Qing still took off the cold iron token with all his strength. After all, this might be the key
to getting out.
A series of changes happened in the blink of an eye, and Si Cang Qing felt that he fell heavily to the ground,
as if his whole body was about to fall apart. His eyes went black, and the pain was a little unbearable!
"Qingqing, get out of the way!"
Before he could react, Si Cang Qing heard a hoarse shout, the voice was hoarse, but it was familiar. Almost
at the same time as the shout, a foul and oppressive breath rushed over instantly.
Si Cang Qing had instinctively dodged earlier, and in the midst of the chaos, seeing a pile of high stacks in front
of him, he landed on top of them to catch his breath. Taking this opportunity to look back, a sudden shock
filled his heart.
Is that a person?
Like a withered zombie, with blackish-yellow skin and sparse hair swaying, the entire body was bare, and any
visible human features had long since withered. Swaying unsteadily, it seemed that with just a gentle push, it
would instantly turn to ashes.
However, that "person's" movements were unusually swift and precise. Just as Si Cang Qing dodged to the
side, that "person" lunged at another person who had just fallen. Its withered mouth bit through the person's
neck in one swift motion, blood spraying all over the person's body, slithering down the withered limbs...
A chill, born from the depths of the heart.
Is this the secret of Tianwai Tian?
That "person" was no longer a person. Watching that "person" sucking a person's blood in an instant,
the originally alive person turned into a skeleton in an instant, and was thrown by that "person" casually, in front
of Si Cang Qing's eyes - at this time, Si Cang Qing realized that where he was standing, there were countless
skeletons of people, piled up nearly ten feet high.
As his thoughts turned, the "person" grabbed another person who fell down again and opened his mouth to bite
him. The others reacted and knew that if they wanted to survive, they could only kill the monster in front of
them, and then surrounded it.
Si Cang Qing frowned and watched the "person" dodge and attack very quickly - everyone here is not his
opponent, right?
"Qingqing!"
Si Cang Qing looked up suddenly, stunned, and then recognized the disheveled man climbing on the beam. It
turned out to be Qi Shuangran!
His condition was so miserable that it was not enough to describe his desolation.
Si Cang Qing slightly furrowed his brows, glanced at the few people on the ground who were about to collapse,
then looked up at Qishuangran on the beam and said in a deep voice, "Wait there and don't move." At a glance,
it was clear that this emaciated man was probably reaching his limit!
Even though he was in a terrible state, Qi Shuangran still smiled wickedly, hoarsely teasing, "How could I dare
not agree to your words, Qingqing?"
Si Cang Qing no longer paid attention to him, leaping down, silver threads flying from his wrist, instinctively,
he couldn't get close to that "person."
The silver threads danced wildly, propelled by Si Cang Qing's true energy, unleashing a fierce offensive and
turning everything to ashes, instantly tearing that "person" in half.
That "person" didn't have time to grunt before falling in two directions.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The young man who had previously found the entrance mechanism
smiled and bowed deeply to Si Cang Qing, saying, "Thank you, Master Feng, for your assistance. This demon
only..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a tightness around his body and was lifted into the air.
Startled, the young man looked down and was shocked to discover that the person who was once in two halves
had somehow merged back together with a sense of awareness. Although he no longer resembled a human at
all, he was still alive.
If it weren't for Si Cang Qing's keen senses, who bound him with silver threads and took him away in time, he
would probably have become food for that "person" by now!
This turn of events is truly terrifying! The people who were still trying to resist have now completely lost their
minds. This is no human, it's a monster! Those people, momentarily losing control, blindly swung their weapons,
regardless of who approached, desperately slashing away!
Si Cang Qing flicked the silver thread, and the young man was thrown onto a pile of skeletons slightly farther
away from that "person." Immediately, Si Cang Qing climbed onto the beam and came to Qi Shuangran's side.
Looking at the bloody scene below, he asked calmly , "What is this?"
Qi Shuangran smiled, but was utterly exhausted, and with a faint voice, uttered three words: "Living, human, gu!"
