"The formation in another part of the underground palace has been activated."
Xiao Shi's eyes narrowed.
Through the interpretation of the formation patterns, he has realized that the formation located in the underground palace is divided into several parts.
Each part of the formation has different functions.
The powerful suppression of soul consciousness is part of the function of the formation.
The formation that was activated at the moment trapped them here, making it impossible for any of them to leave.
Xiang Zizhen frowned.
Even he had no good solution at this time.
After all, he was not proficient in formations and it was difficult to crack them.
"Warden, what should we do now?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Xiang Zizhen.
A deep sense of anxiety arose in my heart.
At present, two of their jailers have died tragically. If they were killed in person by a strong man in the underground palace, they would not be so anxious and heavy.
What really frightened them.
They had no idea how these two jailers died.
Especially the first jailer.
The weirdest thing.
They could still see signs of possession on the second jailer who died.
But the first jailer to die...
So far they have not figured out what happened.
"At this point..."
"There is only one way!"
Xiang Zizheng sighed and spoke to everyone in a deep voice.
"I can use a secret technique to teleport you away from here, but... this secret technique cannot guarantee the exact location of the teleportation, and there is a high probability that you will still be inside the underground palace. I can teleport you to another location in the underground palace to get rid of the current predicament."
Xiang Zizheng's words made everyone feel even heavier.
They realized.
Even if Xiang Zizhen can use this secret technique to help them escape from their current predicament, they will still face new problems.
First of all, after the teleportation, their positions will be scattered and they will no longer be able to form a group.
Secondly, the transmission location cannot be determined.
If you are lucky, you will be teleported directly to the exit of the underground palace and be able to escape from danger.
But the same.
It is also possible that you will be teleported to dangerous areas deeper in the underground palace.
The risk of death is then greater.
There is an element of gambling involved.
But if you don't teleport away...
They will be trapped here forever.
If this continues, no one knows whether there will be greater dangers and crises in the future.
anyway.
The most important thing at the moment is to get out of this predicament.
Teleporting to another location might give you a chance of survival.
But if I'm trapped here forever, I'll just be waiting to die!
"This time, I was careless."
Xiang Zizhen sighed.
"Now I can only leave a shield of power on you. This shield of power can bring you a certain degree of protection. The rest... you can only rely on yourselves."
Through the soul imprint in Xiang Zizhen's mind, Xiao Shi could clearly judge that there was not a single falsehood in what the other party said.
This is different from what he had previously speculated.
If Xiang Zi really wanted to make them cannon fodder this time.
There is no need to do this.
After all, the use of this secret teleportation technique would bring certain burdens and costs to Xiang Zizheng himself.
Judging from the other party's series of behaviors and the fluctuations in his soul, the sudden situation that occurred before was indeed beyond his expectations.
And when it comes to treating everyone, he definitely doesn't treat them as cannon fodder.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Shi felt that Xiang Zizhen was using them as cannon fodder was mainly because Xiang Zizhen was the murderer who killed Qin Mo.
It is true that Xiang Zi is too suspicious in this regard.
But now Xiang Zi really took a series of actions.
However, it reminded Xiao Shi of what he had initially found out about Xiang Zi's true character.
He treats people with sincerity, is gentle and polite, and is a very sincere person.
He is not the kind of sinister person who would do things behind people's backs, and who says one thing in public and another in private.
This is true whether he is in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect or in the Xingluo Army.
This was also the most contradictory point that Xiao Shi felt when investigating Qin Mo's death.
Act according to Xiang Zizhen's personality.
He couldn't be the murderer of Qin Mo.
But all the criticisms were directed at him.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things.
The situation in the underground palace was completely out of Xiang Zizheng's control.
No one knows what kind of terrible crisis exists in the underground palace.
The most important thing right now is how to survive in this underground palace!
soon.
As Xiang Zizheng performed the secret art of teleportation.
The figures of the crowd were successively enveloped and swallowed by white light.
Disappeared one after another.
Xiao Shi was also covered by the white light.
Was teleported directly to another place in the underground palace.
This is a wide aisle.
The dark underground palace was filled with silence.
When Xiao Shi appeared here, he began to think.
Although there is a huge crisis in this underground palace.
But he came here mainly for two purposes.
One is to make meritorious service and get more prisoners from the prison to kill.
The second is to conduct an in-depth investigation of Xiang Zizheng.
Through this incident, he has seen what kind of person Xiang Zi is, which is consistent with the information he had previously obtained.
We have to review the incident of Qin Mo’s murder.
If Xiang Zi is really not the murderer.
Then it could only be that the other two people from the Meng Wu lineage worked together to kill Qin Mo.
In that case.
I can't just ignore Xiang Zizhen.
We must make sure he can leave the underground palace alive!
"As a priest of the current generation of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Xiang Zizhen is deeply trusted by other believers and is a leader among them. If something happens to him, it is more likely that the murderer who killed Qin Mo will have an opportunity to take advantage of him."
"By then, most of the remaining followers will be defeated one by one, and that would be really dangerous!"
Although Xiang Zizhen has always been the biggest suspect.
But Xiao Shi never completely insisted that he was the murderer from the beginning.
Before deciding to investigate Xiang Zizheng.
He has already made preparations for both scenarios.
If Xiang Zi is really the murderer, then find evidence and kill him, prove your innocence and eliminate the cancer of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect at the same time.
If Xiang Zi is really not the murderer, I will guide him behind the scenes, provide him with information and intelligence, and use him to find the real murderer.
Now Xiao Shi is more inclined to the latter.
Of course, we have to make sure that Xiangzi is really safe.
Judging from this action, Xiao Shi felt that Xiang Zizhen was completely schemed by the old prisoner.
Obviously, the old prisoner had already planned everything when he told Xiang Zizhen the information about the underground palace.
The purpose of doing this, in addition to trying to get out of this situation, there is also another possibility...
That means a killing trap had already been set up in the underground palace, just waiting for Xiang Zi to fall into the trap!
This is a real killing spree targeting Xiang Zi!
If this is the case.
Xiao Shi couldn't just sit back and watch.
Although his cultivation level was far behind Xiang Zizhen's, under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be able to participate in the battles in the Wumo Realm.
However, in this underground palace, he possesses the ability to rescue Xiang Zizhen in times of crisis!
That is…
The array patterns he had seen on the walls of the stone chamber before!
At present, the master has already interpreted most of these array patterns, and realized that once all of them are interpreted, he can use one of the abilities of the array in the underground palace.
This ability can ensure that he can rescue Xiang Zizhen.
However, the prerequisite is that the host must complete the interpretation of all array patterns before the crisis comes.
"It should be in time..."
Think of this.
Xiao Shi didn't hesitate any more.
He began to sense the location of the soul imprint he left in Xiang Zizheng's mind.
When the soul seal was still a dust seal at the martial level, it already had the ability to sense and track the mark, but it was greatly limited in terms of distance.
But now after becoming a soul seal, the entire sensing distance has become extremely far.
This enabled Xiao Shi to clearly sense Xiang Zizhen's location through the mark in his mind.
Xiao Shi immediately approached Xiang Zizheng's position carefully.
He knows it very well.
Even if he had the ability to rescue Xiang Zizhen, it was best to hide in the dark.
It can't be discovered early.
Wait until the most critical moment and then show up to rescue.
certainly.
It would be best if Xiang Zizhen could handle it himself.
that's all.
While Xiao Shi was moving forward carefully, he was also keeping an eye out for any crisis that might arise at any time in the underground palace.
But when he walked for a long time, the entire underground palace was calm and there was no crisis.
This made him even more certain that all this was a murder plot aimed at Xiang Zizhen!
"This underground palace itself should not be in any danger..."
"Xiang Zi is really cautious. He has already conducted an investigation here beforehand. If this underground palace has the same danger as before, he would definitely not come here easily."
"That is to say..."
"The dangers that occurred before were all man-made, not the dangers brought by this underground palace itself. Someone wants to kill Xiang Zizhen!"
"Now that we are separated from Xiang Zizhen, we are actually safer. The people who want to kill Xiang Zizhen behind the scenes don't care about us at all. Now all the crises are concentrated on Xiang Zizhen!"
After Xiao Shi realized this.
I couldn't help but speed up.
Quickly approached Xiang Zizheng.
However, not long after he walked forward, as he entered a stone chamber, his footsteps suddenly stopped!
The scene before us...
It caused his entire orifice to contract violently.
This spacious and huge stone room.
There was a dead body there.
It was the old prisoner from earlier!
"He's dead!?"
Xiao Shi's mind was filled with huge waves.
No matter what, I never thought that this old prisoner would die here!
According to his previous conjecture, even if this old prisoner was not the mastermind behind this murder, he was the key to luring Xiang Zizheng here.
But after he escaped from Xiang Zizhen, not only did he not gain freedom, but he died instead
What is going on!
Xiao Shi could be sure that the other party was not killed by Xiang Zizheng.
He has always been keeping track of Xiang Zizhen's whereabouts and can be sure that Xiang Zizhen has never been here.
At the same time, he also did not think that the old prisoner was killed by other jailers.
He stepped forward quickly.
Carefully examine the body of the old prisoner.
Gradually, I discovered some strange things.
First of all, the body of the old prisoner was still wearing handcuffs and shackles that sealed his cultivation.
Logically speaking.
When he escaped from Xiang Zizhen, he would definitely try to break the handcuffs and shackles as soon as possible.
But he always carried it with him.
This is very strange!
Secondly, the old prisoner died in the same way as the first jailer who died before him, with his head chopped off!
"Is it an internal conflict?"
Xiao Shi can now basically deduce it.
There must be someone else behind the old prisoner.
The role of the old prisoner was mainly to lead Xiang Zizhen into the underground palace.
The one who arranged the killing was the person behind it.
Xiao Shi now suspects that the death of the old prisoner was most likely caused by an internal conflict with the person behind the scenes.
"wrong!"
"The handcuffs and shackles of the prisoner are only part of his imprisonment. What really seals him is actually the 'prison' inside his body!"
Xiao Shi thought of the time when he wanted to observe the old man through the soul imprint.
But he was blocked outside by the prison inside the other person's body.
Now when he examined the prison inside his body.
He immediately discovered...
The prison inside the other person's body was brutally destroyed, and the prison was empty, with nothing in it.
Suddenly, a terrible association emerged in Xiao Shi's mind.
"He's not dead..."
"But he successfully broke free from his confinement and escaped!"
"From the beginning to the end, what the prison wanted to imprison was not the body of this old man, but the soul inside him!
”
"His body is just a container that can be discarded at any time. What is truly terrifying is the soul imprisoned in his body!"
"The reason why he was handcuffed and shackled was purely to prevent him from destroying the prison in his body."
"Now that he has been rescued by his accomplice, he has directly helped to destroy the prison in his body, freeing him from his confinement. Naturally, there is no need to go to the trouble of destroying the handcuffs and shackles."
Xiao Shi took a deep breath.
I guess this is also the reason why the other party did not say a word from beginning to end.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it.
But there is no way to tell.
This body is just a container that imprisons his soul, and he can only communicate through his soul.
"Um?"
Just at this moment.
Xiao Shi suddenly discovered that Xiang Zizhen paused and felt a strong vibration coming from his soul.
This means that Xiang Zizheng has already started fighting!
"I have to get here as soon as possible."
Xiao Shi moved.
Quickly rush to where Xiang Zizhen is.
At present, he is still some distance away from Xiang Zizheng.
At the same time, there are still some interpretations of the main body's formation patterns left.
Xiang Zizheng needs to hold on for a while.
It wasn't long since I came out of this stone chamber.
A figure appeared in front of Xiao Shi.
It was a figure squatting on the ground with his back to Xiao Shi.
From the other person's clothes, it can be seen that he is a prison guard.
However, Xiao Shi did not come closer.
He heard the sound of blood dripping on the ground and saw the blood all over the other person's feet.
There was also a strong sense of crisis spreading from his mind.
I saw the jailer squatting on the ground in front of me, his neck slightly stiffly twisted, revealing a hideous and terrifying face covered in blood.
His eyes were filled with madness as he stared at Xiao Shi.
