Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1284 Tracking

"Once you step into it, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal will have his soul and spirit destroyed."

The high priest said in a deep voice.

"The Nine-Bend Dragon Trapped Formation?!"

The sixth brother gasped in shock, staring at Wu You with disbelief.

"This... this legendary killing move, you actually know it?"

At this moment, he was completely convinced.

Throughout history, there have been very few people who could set up such a deadly trap; you could count them on two hands.

The sixth brother's exaggerated reaction made Jiang Xiaochuan realize the extraordinary nature of this formation far more directly than the high priest's explanation.

He knew this fat guy too well; he was always arrogant and wouldn't easily submit to anyone.

However, now is not the time to be amazed. Thinking that the person who set up the formation was right in front of him, Jiang Xiaochuan turned to look at Wu You, "Is there no way to break it?"

"Yes, there is."

Wu You respectfully replied, "However, the Nine-Bend Dragon-Trapping Formation I set up is not an ordinary one."

“In addition to the strangling power of the killing formation itself, I also introduced the corpse evil energy that had accumulated for thousands of years deep in the Holy Tomb.”

"Corpse evil mixed into the air is ubiquitous. As long as it touches even a little bit, it will corrode the meridians and gnaw at the soul. Even gods cannot save it."

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's face growing increasingly grim, Wu You hurriedly explained, "It's simple to break the curse. Just open the ventilation compartment in the main tomb chamber and let the corpse evil dissipate on its own through the airflow."

"We can only approach the core of the tomb once the concentration of the evil energy has dropped to a safe level."

"How quickly can we get in?"

Jiang Xiaochuan asked.

“Those individuals are all powerful figures, so their corpse energy is naturally different from others. It will take at least half a month to recover.”

The sixth brother answered first, then scratched his head, looking puzzled, "But all that effort to set up such a grand scheme, if we don't come, wouldn't it all be for nothing?"

"This game wasn't designed specifically to defend against you."

The high priest's voice was calm, yet it carried a profound meaning.

"As the leader of the cult, Tang Jie can enter the core area of ​​the Holy Tomb at any time."

"What I'm really worried about is that he's been staying at the Holy Ancestor's resting place for so long, given his considerable cultivation and ruthless nature."

"If one were to glean even a fragment of the Blood Marrow Saint Ancestor's fusion technique from it, or even just gain a little inspiration, the consequences would be unimaginable."

“It just so happens that you visited the Holy Ancestor’s tomb before. I took advantage of the situation and, under the pretext of protecting the Holy Ancestor’s remains from further disturbance, had Wu You set up this ancient killing formation.”

"In this way, it is both reasonable and justifiable, and we can use your name to make Tang Jie think that this plan is purely to guard against foreign invaders. He will not suspect anything and may even be happy to see it happen."

"As for the certainty that you will come again..."

The high priest looked at Wu You, his eyes full of approval: "Your men were keeping watch on the perimeter, and they were indeed well hidden, almost avoiding all the visible and hidden sentries."

"Unfortunately, it still triggered the early warning array that Wu You had set up, which was connected to the earth's veins."

"Good guy!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Liu slapped his thigh, his face showing both regret and lingering fear:

"So, Fatty was just a decoy from beginning to end? You all knew I'd come, and used my reputation as the Thief Saint as a cover?"

At this point, he shrank back, stubbornly insisting:

"Luckily, I already visited your Holy Ancestor's Tomb last time, so I had no interest in going in again, otherwise I would have really gotten myself into trouble with you!"

Knowing that he couldn't enter the Holy Tomb for the time being, Jiang Xiaochuan was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

"There's no time to lose, get us out of here now!"

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at Wu You. When the group was talking, he had noticed that someone was secretly investigating, which was obviously Tang Jie behind the scenes.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Wu You immediately responded and turned to walk towards the back of the wooden house.

"and many more!"

At that moment, the high priest suddenly called out to them.

Upon hearing this, the three of them were all taken aback.

Lao Liu's heart was pounding, and he subconsciously shrank back behind Jiang Xiaochuan.

Could this old guy be going to change his mind?

From the high priest's words, he knew this place was a den of dragons and tigers, and he didn't want to stay a second longer.

"Master, the Huangfu family is a powerful and influential clan with a deep foundation. You must be careful on your journey."

The high priest stepped forward slowly, his voice full of genuine emotion, "I need to concentrate my forces to deal with Tang Jie, so I really can't help you with your worries in the short term. Please be careful in everything you do."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan nodded slowly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He took over the position of leader with the intention of using the power of the Crimson Blood Sect to fight against the Huangfu family.

Yet this old man, even when he himself was in dire straits, was still worried about him.

He solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to the High Priest: "Take care, High Priest. Also, be careful of Tang Jie's schemes."

"The leader need not worry about me."

The high priest nodded slightly and stood in front of Jiang Xiaochuan. "I have nothing to give you, but today I will give you a talisman. I hope it will be of use in a critical moment."

Before Jiang Xiaochuan could refuse, the high priest grabbed his wrist.

Another surge of strange energy flowed into the meridians.

However, this time it was no longer the tingling, numb electric current as before, but rather a gentle flow through my limbs and bones, like a clear mountain spring.

Soon, a light blue light enveloped Jiang Xiaochuan's body, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into his body.

The high priest instantly became listless, as if he had aged ten years, and could barely stand.

"The High Priest!"

Upon seeing this, the black-robed man kneeling on the ground hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, his voice filled with shock, "You actually suffered such a loss..."

"It doesn't matter."

The high priest waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking, and then looked at Jiang Xiaochuan weakly, saying, "Master, let's go!"

Even without being explicitly stated, Jiang Xiaochuan could guess that the other party had paid a heavy price.

"Take care, High Priest!"

Feeling both ashamed and respectful, Jiang Xiaochuan said no more and bowed deeply to the High Priest.

Wu You immediately turned around and led the way, with Jiang Xiaochuan and Lao Liu following closely behind.

The side door of the wooden house closed gently behind them.

Ahead lay a dense forest that seemed to stretch endlessly.

The three walked quickly through the dense forest, where sunlight could barely penetrate and everything was a dark green as far as the eye could see.

In such an environment, it is easy to lose one's way.

"We need to hurry, someone is following us."

Even so, Jiang Xiaochuan still urged him on.

His perception far surpassed that of ordinary people. As soon as he stepped out of the wooden house, he sensed an aura following behind him, which was the gaunt old man who had been behind Tang Jie earlier.

"You're chasing me so soon?"

Old Six shuddered in fright, shrank his neck, and whispered, "Is this person a dog? His nose is so sensitive!"

Wu You's expression turned solemn, revealing a seriousness unlike that of his peers: "It's a Blood Shadow Tracking Talisman. Tang Jie had already placed a mark around the High Priest's residence."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint smell of blood began to fill the air.

This taste was all too familiar to them.

Especially the sixth brother, who immediately thought of an old face.

At that time, Tang Jie gave the order to have the owner of this aura capture him.

Seeing that the other side was about to catch up, Lao Liu looked at Wu You in exasperation: "Since the other side can pinpoint our location, what use is it for the old priest to send you here?"
