Chapter 206 Breaking the Formation

Chapter 206 Breaking the Formation

"Is this the spirit stone vault of the Moke Territory in the Moyun Kingdom?" Bai Ke asked Ling Feng beside him, looking at a huge cave below the cliff.

"It must be it. I've heard people mention it before, and it seems to be located here."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in! But be careful, just in case there are any traps or formations. It wouldn't be good if we fell into one!"

"Don't worry, senior brother, we know what we're doing!" The disciple behind him couldn't contain his excitement and said.

Normally, they wouldn't even take a needle or thread from someone, let alone rob them. This is the first time they've openly robbed a nation's treasury! How could they not be excited?

The entrance to the spirit stone vault, which was also the entrance to the cave, was unguarded, so Bai Ke and his group walked in with ease.

It's no wonder no one guarded it; who could have predicted that someone would dare to rob the spirit stone vault of the Mo Yun Kingdom? Since the founding of the Mo Yun Kingdom, no one had dared to rob this spirit stone vault.

First, besides the soldiers guarding the Moko territory's spirit stone vault, the most important thing is that there is a very powerful formation inside.

If someone doesn't know how to break the formation and tries to enter easily, they will almost certainly not return.

Secondly, the fact that the Mo Yun Kingdom belongs to the Tian Ce Palace means that the Mo Yun Kingdom is protected by the Tian Ce Palace, which is the largest power in the Shan Hai Realm.

Therefore, disturbing the spirit stone treasury of the Mo Yun Kingdom is tantamount to infringing upon the interests of the Tian Ce Palace and undermining their power. Ordinary people, without the courage or strength to confront the Tian Ce Palace, would not dare to easily offend them.

This is one of the reasons why the Spirit Stone Treasury of Moyun Kingdom has been unguarded for so long, yet no one has dared to attack it, which has made the successive rulers of Moyun Kingdom feel very at ease.

At this moment, Bai Ke led Lin Xiu, Ling Feng, and a group of disciples into the cave. Upon entering, the visibility became much dimmer; oil lamps burned on the walls, indicating that the Mo Yun Kingdom had sent people to guard the place.

The cave was spacious, filled with oddly shaped stones. There were two passages on each side, leading in two different directions.

"Ling Feng, do you know which of these two passages we should take?" a disciple couldn't help but ask Ling Feng.

"I don't know. I'm just an ordinary commoner in Moyun Kingdom. At most, I've only heard people mention the location of the spirit stone vault in Moke Territory. I had no idea that there were different passages inside, let alone which way to go!"

"Huh? Now we don't even know which of these two passages leads to the place where the spirit stones are. What should we do? Are we going to have to split up?"

"Since things have come to this, we have no other choice. Everyone, be careful on the road and watch out for any traps. We'll split into two groups. You'll be in one group with Senior Brother Lin Xiu, and you'll be in the other group with me. We'll try to explore ahead, and if anything happens, communicate using communication talismans!"

As a result, Bai Ke assigned Ling Feng to Lin Xiu's group. Did he think he didn't know what Ling Feng was up to? He didn't want a potential threat around him, and he didn't want to have to spare the energy to watch out for this guy causing trouble.

It would be better to just hand him over to Lin Xiu. Hmph, he's not that stupid.

"Okay!" Lin Xiu knew this wasn't the time to compete with Bai Ke, so he answered very seriously. It has to be said that while he might not be good at much else, his ability to assess situations and prioritize tasks was far superior to Ling Feng's.

"You lot, come this way with me!" With that, Lin Xiu beckoned a few disciples to follow him as they explored one of the passages.

Bai Ke and his group headed towards another passage. However, after walking along this passage for a while, although they didn't encounter any traps or ambushes, the passage seemed to have no end and remained unchanged.

Some observant disciples have already noticed that the path they are now walking on is the same one they have just walked before; they have returned to the place they came from.

"Senior brother! We've been here before! It looks like a maze or some kind of formation, with no end in sight. But not only is it endless, we can't find the way we came in and we can't get out. What are we going to do?"

Bai Ke was taken aback by these words, and then asked, "How do you know we just passed through this place? And why are you so sure?"

"Just now, when I was walking forward with everyone, I didn't notice that there was a place that was relatively low, so I was only focused on the path under my feet, and I bumped into it without realizing it."

I was furious with the stone that had hit my head, so I slashed it with my sword to vent my anger. "Look, senior brother! Right here, the mark is still there!"

As the disciple spoke, he demonstrated to Bai Ke by reconnecting the sword in his hand with the sword mark. Bai Ke leaned closer to look, and sure enough, the sword mark was indeed a mark left by this sword.

"It seems we're blocked by this formation, which is why we can't find the exit and can't reach the end."

"What should we do?"

"You all rest here for now. I'll investigate how to break this formation."

"Yes," the disciples replied in unison.

So, taking advantage of the disciples' rest, Bai Ke went to the side. Holding his breath, he closed his eyes and concentrated fully. He mobilized his spiritual energy to activate his third eye between his eyebrows, examining the mysteries and routes of the formation.

After a short while, Bai Ke finally found a way to break the formation. He happily addressed his resting disciples, "Everyone, stop resting! I've found a way out of this formation. Follow me closely, don't fall behind!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately stood up and followed Bai Ke. Wherever Bai Ke went, they followed. This formation was a mysterious thing; if they made a mistake on any step, the consequences would be dire.

After wandering around for about fifteen minutes, Bai Ke and his group finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and walked out of it.

"Huh? It seems like Senior Brother Lin Xiu and the others are still here! They shouldn't have come out yet! Senior Brother, should we go and meet Senior Brother Lin Xiu and the others?" another disciple exclaimed.

"No need. We finally made it out, let's not get trapped again while trying to reach Lin Xiu and the others. I'll use a communication talisman to fly over and contact them."

They must be trapped in the same formation too. I told them directly through a communication talisman how to escape. Let's wait here for them and decide what to do next!

"Yes! We'll do as our senior brother says!" Upon hearing this, all the disciples echoed in agreement.

So, after waiting for a while at the end of the passage, Bai Ke and the others finally saw Lin Xiu and his group coming out.
