Chapter 149 Falling into a Trap

The sword duel at Chongshan ended abruptly after it had only just begun.

While there are indeed sword cultivators in the mountains, they are not the mainstream.

There aren't any particularly strong sword-cultivating sects here, and the people from the Sword Sect stand out too much.

By the seventh day of the martial arts competition, the disciples hadn't gained much, which was understandable, but more importantly, it was clear that some people with ulterior motives had their eyes on the place.

"The sword duel ends here. Let's head back to the mountain!"

Without hesitation, the Sword Master made a decision.

A flash of sword light streaked across the sky as the group flew on their swords.

But just as they were about to leave the area of ​​Chongshan—

The sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds surrounded everyone, forming a trapping formation.

The powerful sealing force disrupted the spiritual energy released by everyone, making it impossible for them to maintain stable control over their flying swords.

In that instant, everyone fell from the sky.

Fortunately, they didn't fly very high.

Moreover, as sword cultivators, they all possessed excellent basic skills.

So when they landed, they each gathered their strength and leaped, and with a little effort to control their altitude, they managed to keep their bodies in place and avoid falling to their deaths.

Su Baichen was in a similar state, but his landing was somewhat rough.

"boom!"

He made a crater in the ground; it was a hard landing.

However, Su Baichen, who had already officially entered the Five Qi Gathering Realm, acted as if nothing had happened.

"Who did this?"

Guanlan Sword Lady's anger flared up.

Everyone looked up at the sky, only to see dark clouds covering the sky as if shrouded in demonic energy.

"Is it the demonic path?"

Another elder of the Sword Sect, Feng Lingxu, said, "It's not just the demonic path; there are large formations on the surrounding mountains—the righteous path must have been involved to make such arrangements in these towering mountains."

The old man with the swordless blade, his face contorted with rage, exclaimed, "What a fine righteous path!"

"It is unknown how many of them have already been corrupted by the Formless Ones."

"Send a message back immediately for backup!"

The Sword Maiden of Guanlan said with a grim expression, "No, the spiritual energy here has been disturbed, and our communication jade tablets cannot fly out."

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen immediately felt that his sect's communication methods were too outdated and needed to be improved.

The Sword Master Wufeng looked at Su Baichen and asked, "Baichen, do you have a way to contact your family?"

He knew that Su Baichen had a spirit communication copper finger, but he didn't know if it could be used under these circumstances.

Su Baichen had already tried it, and he shook his head, saying, "It doesn't work, there's absolutely no response."

He couldn't help but feel troubled, wondering what to do if things continued like this.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he pulled up his sleeve to ask, "Can Xiangxiang escape?"

The statue of Quan remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Princess Xiangxiang is a fox spirit who can travel between the realms of Yin and Yang. Ordinary trapping formations cannot stop her."

"I suggest that we send Princess Xiangxiang to seek help."

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen roughly guessed what the fox beast was thinking. Wasn't it trying to take the opportunity to get Su Xiangxiang out of the dangerous situation?

But since their goals didn't conflict, he took the somewhat uneasy Su Xiangxiang directly out of the basket. The past few months had made her look a bit bigger, and her dark blue fox fur had a mysterious beauty.

He said, "Xiangxiang, I have a very important task for you now."

Su Xiangxiang was at a loss, but she still nodded seriously.

People need me!

Its intentions are equally clear and firm.

Su Baichen said, "Go find my grandmaster. If you can't find my grandmaster, then find my senior brother or sister-in-law. You know where they are!"

Su Xiangxiang jolted awake, tilting her head back and twitching her nose toward the sky.

Su Baichen looked up at the sky and then chuckled, "Demonic methods? Don't worry, they can't deal with me."

At this moment, Wufeng Sword Elder had already handed the hastily prepared letter to Su Baichen, who then handed it to Su Xiangxiang.

Su Xiangxiang nodded seriously, then leaped into the air.

The next moment, its body instantly became ethereal, disappearing in a flash as if it were shuttling between the realms of Yin and Yang.

Quan sighed, "Princess Xiangxiang is so talented that even with our careful protection, she could still easily escape after she was born in Nanqiu. Fortunately, she eventually met Lord Baichen, otherwise, I don't know what kind of future my fox clan would have had."

Su Baichen did not respond, but his expression was visibly more relaxed.

He said, "The request for help has been sent out; now we just need to hold on for a while longer —"

However, Qingfeng Han pointed to the sky and said, "The problem is, the enemy may not let us have our way."

Countless souls of the dead descended from the sky.

At the same time, there was movement nearby; some ghostly creatures from the underworld had somehow emerged from the ground.

The Soul-Suppressing Sword on Su Baichen's back suddenly throbbed, and the ancestors began to become agitated again.

But Su Baichen reached out and pressed down on the volatile sword hilt, silently thinking, "Now that I have some ability to protect myself, it would be too shameful of me to have to trouble my ancestors with everything."

The restlessness of the Soul-Suppressing Sword subsided.

The ancestors decided to respect the will of the person they had chosen.

At this moment, Su Baichen felt that the best way to deal with this situation was the Formless Banner.

As long as the myriad souls within the Banner of No Form are released, these ghosts will surely be swept away.

But just as he was about to make a move, the Sword Master Wufeng sneered and said, "Behold my Everlasting Spring Sword Formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine people, apart from Wufeng Sword Elder, took their positions in different directions, forming a sword formation unique to the Changchun Sword Sect.

Under this sword formation, the ghosts descending from the sky could not get close at all, and the surrounding underworld creatures were also subdued by the endless sharpness.

Seeing this, the Sword Master Wufeng laughed and pointed south, saying, "Let's go home!"

The entire Sword Sect's sword formation sprang into action, launching an attack southwards towards the Liang Kingdom.

That's a reckless move.

But Su Baichen really liked it.

He joined the group and charged forward.

The sword intents of the group of sword cultivators were connected, and at this moment the entire team looked like a sharp sword with its edge fully exposed!

Wherever the sword's edge passed, it utterly destroyed everything in its path.

As for Su Baichen, his task is to navigate through this area.

Because he discovered that there was actually a trap set up on the ground, relying on the terrain of the surrounding mountains.

Within this trap, an increasingly thick fog spread, obscuring everyone's vision.

However, Su Baichen had already mastered the innate earth element, and had an extremely clear understanding of the spiritual energy circulation in the mountains.

He followed the path of the earth's spiritual energy, leading his team in a frenzied charge towards a point where spiritual energy was concentrated.

In his mind, this node must be destroyed first in order to break the trap.

However, when they broke through the fog, they saw a group of people staring at them in disbelief.

"It's you guys!"

The old man with the blunt sword was shocked and enraged.

"I came here out of kindness to discuss swordsmanship, and you've betrayed me!"

Some of the people here are actually fellow Daoists who had previously debated swordsmanship in these mountains.
