Chapter 169: Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue’s Horror
Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue also hurriedly followed. In an instant, their figures disappeared from the Qingyun Sect’s temporary camp on Flowing Wave Mountain.
When they reappeared, they were already within the deep-sea abyss.
The moment they appeared, boundless seawater pressed toward Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue, and a terrifying pressure bore down upon them, causing both of them to be greatly alarmed—this pressure was simply too heavy.
After all, the location of this formation was extremely far from the sea surface, so the weight of the seawater was correspondingly immense.
Although Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue possessed profound cultivation, they still could not remain here for long.
Just as they were about to cast spells to resist this crushing pressure, Lu Xueqi waved her right hand, and immediately a vast force enveloped the two of them.
Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue instantly felt their entire bodies lighten, and the previously crushing pressure vanished in an instant.
The oppressive sensation that had just arisen in their hearts disappeared immediately.
Then, the two of them could not help but say to Lu Xueqi, “Many thanks, Niece Lu.”
Lu Xueqi nodded after hearing this.
Master Shuiyue, however, did not offer verbal thanks to Lu Xueqi, as they were truly master and disciple.
She merely gave Lu Xueqi a slight nod of gratitude before following Lu Xueqi’s gaze downward toward the enormous formation below, which was still flashing with golden and silver light.
The moment they looked over, their eyes widened instantly.
This lightning formation was incomparably vast, and beneath it surged endless crimson light.
Just looking at that crimson radiance caused their hearts to waver, their souls to struggle violently, and their entire bodies to tremble in horror,
as if they had encountered the greatest natural enemy of their lives, or were facing a terrifying powerhouse capable of crushing them at will. A chill of dread rose uncontrollably within their hearts.
Tian Buyi glanced at the massive formation and the demonic creature suppressed beneath it, then hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
His voice trembling slightly, he said to Lu Xueqi, “Niece Lu, is that demonic creature sealed below?”
Lu Xueqi nodded immediately and replied, “That’s right. The one below is that demonic creature. Its strength is extremely terrifying.”
“Even with my strength, I am not confident of defeating him, which is why I used a sealing formation to seal him once again.”
Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi nodded at once. The pressure this demonic creature gave him was simply too great.
Then he said somewhat worriedly, “Niece Lu, even if we can seal him now, this is not a long-term solution.”
“If someone comes to destroy this seal and that demonic creature escapes in the future, what should we do then?”
Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, “Uncle Tian, you have seen it yourself. Beneath this abyssal sea, the pressure is extremely heavy.”
“It is impossible for others to remain here for long. We cannot even station people here to guard it. Under such circumstances, we can only think of another solution.”
After hearing this, Tian Buyi’s expression turned unsightly as he nodded.
With his current strength at the Eighth Level of the Upper Purity Realm, he could not endure long beneath this abyss, let alone other powerhouses.
He then said angrily, “That damned Ghost King Sect actually captured Divine Beast Kui Niu. If Divine Beast Kui Niu were still here, there wouldn’t be so much trouble!”
Upon hearing Tian Buyi’s words, Master Shuiyue also nodded in agreement.
They had never imagined before that Divine Beast Kui Niu would have such a use.
In truth, Lu Xueqi knew that if they truly wished to dispatch a powerhouse to guard this sealing ground, the Qingyun Sect was not without suitable candidates.
For example, the Qingyun Sect’s guardian spirit beast, Water Qilin, could come here to stand guard.
However, Water Qilin was the sect’s sacred mountain-protecting beast; Daoxuan would never send it to Flowing Wave Mountain to guard this formation.
Moreover, Water Qilin was not adept in the Dao of lightning, so it would not provide much reinforcement to the formation.
It could only guard this place and prevent other powerhouses from attacking.
After surveying the surroundings once more and pondering briefly, Lu Xueqi said, “Uncle Tian, I will set up another illusion formation here to conceal this place and prevent it from being easily discovered. Then we shall leave.”
Tian Buyi immediately nodded. “Very well. Many thanks for your trouble, Niece Lu.”
Lu Xueqi waved her hand dismissively. Then she formed hand seals with both hands, and streams of seal incantations were continuously struck out.
At the same time, one after another talismanic imprints manifested in the heavens and earth.
A moment later, an illusion formation appeared, enveloping the lightning formation within.
The previously conspicuous lightning formation instantly became hazy under the effect of the illusion formation.
Soon after, it vanished beneath the seabed, appearing no different from its surroundings.
Seeing this, Tian Buyi could not help but say, “Niece Lu’s attainments in formations are actually this formidable.”
Lu Xueqi replied, “I dare not accept such praise from Uncle Tian. I merely have some interest in formations and comprehended them casually.”
Tian Buyi, however, did not think so. Lu Xueqi’s attainments in formations were indeed terrifying.
Whether it was the sealing formation or the illusion formation, which one was not a top-tier formation?
He even began to think that after returning to the Qingyun Sect, he must inform Senior Brother Daoxuan and have him request Lu Xueqi to further reinforce the sect’s formations.
After examining the surroundings for a while longer, Lu Xueqi said, “Although this formation has a certain confusing effect, if someone deliberately searches for it, it can still be found.”
“While the sealing formation I arranged is extremely powerful, it requires guidance of the lightning power of heaven and earth to replenish its energy at intervals.”
“So if someone observes carefully, this location can still be discovered.”
Tian Buyi nodded after hearing this, but there was no real solution.
After all, formations required an energy supply to maintain their reinforcement.
After glancing around once more, Lu Xueqi said, “Uncle Tian, since there is nothing else, let us leave.”
Tian Buyi nodded. “Alright.”
Without further hesitation, Lu Xueqi once again drew her right hand across the air. Instantly, a massive spatial rift appeared before her.
Lu Xueqi stepped into it at once, and Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue hurriedly followed.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them vanished from the abyss of the boundless sea. When they reappeared, they were already within the Qingyun Sect’s temporary camp on Flowing Wave Mountain once more.
