The voice did not sound again. Lu Nanzhi was on guard against Xingchou inside. Jiang Yuebai tried to break the forbidden barrier, but no matter whether she used the dragon scale dagger or the escape technique, she could not penetrate the barrier.
Even when she tried to forcefully activate the space restriction, it was of no avail. When she was mobilizing the power of space, she felt that they were at least trapped in the third level of space.
Enter the statue from the rift under the Black Demon Mountain, enter the wasteland city from the statue's mouth, and then enter here from the black tower in the wasteland city.
There are layers of space within layers, and with her current strength, she cannot directly penetrate these three layers of space to escape.
"How is it?" Lu Nanzhi asked Jiang Yuebai via voice transmission.
Jiang Yuebai shook his head slightly, and they both looked inside. Xing Chou had already opened his eyes and retreated far away cautiously, keeping a safe distance from Jiang Yuebai's puppet clone.
"What kind of martial arts did you get?" Jiang Yuebai looked at Xingchou inside and asked Lu Nanzhi through voice transmission.
"can't read."
Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, then took Lu Nanzhi's hand and wrote the witch characters of the name of the technique. Lu Nanzhi nodded, indicating that these were the words.
"It seems like everyone is the same. Go in first."
Jiang Yuebai left her puppet clone at the entrance of the gorge, to be on guard against anyone coming out from behind. At this moment, she didn't know that the Nine Dragon Restriction outside had been restored to its original state, and she was still worried that Heshan and Hongchen would come back.
Although the space inside is large, it is surrounded by a forbidden barrier like an iron barrel. Xingchou will be dead if he retreats further.
Moreover, when she saw Lu Nanzhi beside Jiang Yuebai and thought of the brief fight on the city wall, she knew that unless she fought desperately, she would not be a match for these two people.
"Wait! We are all trapped here now. There is no need to fight to the death. You said before that it depends on your ability and life and death is determined by fate."
Jiang Yuebai used a divine consciousness to check the black coffin on the abyss, and said to Xingchou, "We are strong and you are weak now. If you want to survive, you must show your value!"
Xingchou clenched his fists, his face under the mask uncertain, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.
Finally, she said, "I am the last survivor of Zhangwei Mountain. If I am not mistaken, the person in the black coffin is our Wuzu of Zhangwei Mountain. I am the only one who can learn her heritage. You should have heard the voice of the divine thought just now."
"Only by learning this set of skills can you find a way out. I am the only one who can take you away. If you kill me, you will be trapped like the bones here and die."
Xingchou guided Jiang Yuebai's gaze to the three white skeletons sitting cross-legged at the edge of the abyss.
"Those three are all Yuanying stage cultivators. They are definitely not ordinary people to be able to open the Nine Dragon Restriction above and come here. The three of them were trapped here and died. What do you think is the chance of you two late Jindan stage cultivators escaping alive?"
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi exchanged glances, and Lu Nanzhi's pupils moved slightly, indicating his disbelief.
The same goes for Jiang Yuebai. If she didn't have the black tripod on her, after seeing these three corpses and listening to Xingchou's words, she would definitely believe 80% of it.
But the black tripod shows one thing, that is, someone once left this place alive with the black tripod. No matter how they left, there must be a way out.
Xingchou was a little anxious when he saw that the two were indifferent, so he raised his hand and said, "I can swear a blood oath with my heart demon that I will never lie to you."
Hearing this, Lu Nanzhi said coldly, "I am also a demon cultivator. How can a demon cultivator have a demon in his heart?"
Xingchou's pupils trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, we will both die together. If I can't survive, I will definitely drag you down with me!"
Jiang Yuebai forced a harmless smile, "Don't be, actually we had a pleasant cooperation before. Although you tricked me to the Bone Dragon and harmed us on the city wall, I won't bear a grudge at all, really!"
Xing Chou frowned, not knowing what nonsense Jiang Yuebai was talking about.
"We are now trapped in the same trap. There is really no need to kill each other. How about this? You hand over everything from those three skeletons. Don't play tricks on me. If I find out you're hiding something, I'll kill you immediately."
"Then we will use this as a boundary and not interfere with each other. However, if I ask you something, you'd better answer it in detail, otherwise I will get angry and settle accounts with you one day. I promise that you will leave with a clean conscience!"
Forced by the situation, Xingchou had no choice. She glanced at the black coffin above the abyss. As long as she was given time to learn the skills, she would be able to get the things in the black coffin, and then she would have a glimmer of hope.
"They didn't have much stuff on them. I only found this. I hope you keep your word!"
Jiang Yuebai raised his hand to catch the ring, "From the beginning to the end, you have always been the one who didn't keep your word!"
Xing Chou looked at Jiang Yuebai deeply, and demonic energy emanated from her body, forming a black smoke barrier. She retreated into it and disappeared.
In the black smoke, there is a faint dragon roar, the breath is cold and should not be underestimated.
Jiang Yuebai also retreated to the corner with Lu Nanzhi and took out the Eight Formations Plate. She found that she could only set up eighteen formations in a row. If she wanted to add more formations to sixty-four, she would be suppressed by the power of the forbidden barrier.
After setting up the formation, the two sat down to catch their breath.
Jiang Yuebai saw that Lu Nanzhi looked calm and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you ask me why I didn't kill Xingchou?"
Lu Nanzhi said, "You want to leave a way out temporarily. After all, we haven't found a definite way to leave yet. If what she said is true, killing her will not be worth it."
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "The one who understands me is Anan!"
"Xiaobai, the voice that gave us the technique, was it the divine thought left by the Witch Ancestor, or something else?"
Jiang Yuebai shook his head slightly, "There is no way to find out now, but from what happened just now, it won't interfere with our actions. It just wants to trap us here to learn the skills. But this skill may not be so easy to learn. Even if we learn it, we may not be able to leave. Otherwise, how could three Nascent Souls turn into bones?"
Lu Nanzhi looked worried, and Jiang Yuebai suddenly patted her.
"Don't worry too much. Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. The demonic energy and spiritual energy here are more abundant than in Shimen City. Just treat it as a retreat for cultivation and we can slowly think of a solution. When I sent a message to Xie Jingshan last time, I told him that we will be delayed for a while. If we don't go back, we will just travel together and let him have fun by himself."
Lu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Yuebai and smiled bitterly, knowing that she said this to Xie Jingshan because of the last incident with the demon clan. Jiang Yuebai was afraid that Xie Jingshan would worry about them, so she acted impulsively and ended up hurting Xie Jingshan himself.
"First, check the things in this ring to see if there are any clues. I copied out the witch text of the Chaos Nirvana Technique and translated it. Since that voice asked us to learn the technique, it must have its purpose. It will not hurt us until it is sure that we cannot learn it."
Lu Nanzhi nodded and watched Jiang Yuebai put two rings and a bracelet on the ground, then took out a pen and paper and copied the witchcraft techniques in his sea of consciousness.
The mark of spiritual consciousness on the storage ring had long disappeared. After Lu Nanzhi opened it, he was stunned for a moment, then placed the things inside on the ground in order.
Apart from the animal skin drawings, several puppets and two jade slips found in the city, there were no elixirs, talismans, magic weapons or even spirit stones in the huge storage ring, nor was there anything that could prove his identity.
After Jiang Yuebai finished copying the skills, he looked up and was stunned when he saw the things on the ground.
"Xingchou hid it secretly?"
Lu Nanzhi recalled the scene just now, "Probably not. The most likely possibility is that they have consumed all the things these three people brought. Perhaps during the time they were trapped here, they have been trying to break through the barrier."
"If this is the case, then they must have been trapped for quite some time. It would take at least a thousand years for a Nascent Soul cultivator to turn into bones."
Lu Nanzhi picked up the jade slip and said, "One of these two jade slips contains witch writing, and the other contains a jade slip that records a picture."
Jiang Yuebai took the photo jade and said, "Take a look at this first."
The divine consciousness was injected into the image-retaining jade, which slowly glowed with light and cast a shadow in front of the two people.
The man looked haggard, with white hair and wrinkles all over his face. It was obvious that he was at the end of his life. Behind him, there was a man and a woman who had closed their eyes and sat in meditation, and did not seem to have any breath left.
"My time is coming to an end, and my soul will not be able to escape after death. If any of my descendants come here and obtain this jade, please pass on a message to the Biyou Palace for me..."
