In the wilderness in the dark night, fireflies occasionally flew away, sucking enough water in the soil and becoming plump weeds after being trampled by horse hooves, exuding a damp and pleasant smell.

Lin Yi and others rode one by two horses. After the scattered Northern Wei war horses, these Northern Wei war horses often seemed a little sad after losing their masters, but they naturally did not run as fast as they were in battle. This light cavalry war horse was originally excellent in the Southern Dynasty, but at this time, this speed followed behind, and it seemed very easy.

The smell of sheep manure soon came from the wilderness ahead. The north side of Nanliang was actually quite southern to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Not only was the terrain flat, but the soil was also very fertile. However, in the past century, these areas have been conquered and warned, which has caused a wide and sparse population. With a small population, few farmers have been farmed. Many clans have raised cattle and sheep in large quantities, which has also contributed a lot of fur and meat to the Southern Dynasty.

A few years after Xiao Yan became emperor, the relationship between the Southern Liang and the Northern Wei was still eased. The Northern Wei nobles had a much higher demand for beef and mutton than that of the Southern Dynasty. Therefore, on the border, you can often see caravans from the Southern Dynasty rushing a large number of live cattle and sheep directly trading with caravans of the Northern Wei. At that time, those caravans controlled by the Southern Dynasty clans also used this to exchange for a large number of scarce minerals that were only found in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and made extremely profitable.

However, when the Northern Wei moved its capital to Luoyang and the Linghuang was confirmed, the border conflicts between the two dynasties had continued, and the border trade between the two sides had naturally disappeared. Some scarce minerals that could be used as weapons had long been controlled by the Northern Wei and would never flow into the Southern Dynasties.

Lin Yi's eyesight is much stronger than ordinary practitioners. Even under the faint moonlight, he can clearly see the large wasteland in the distance with traces of being gnawed by the flock of sheep, and even see the large number of black bead-like sheep dung that fell among the remaining grass.

The outlines of some villages also appeared in his sight soon, but as he continued to move, there was no sign of sheep around the village, and there was no sound in the village.

These Northern Wei war horses passed through the edge of the village, and there was still no movement in the village.

Lin Yi also drove his horse through the edge of the village, and his brows gradually frowned.

Although he did not enter the village, the scenes inside these villages that were not densely constructed cannot escape his gaze and perception.

There was no sign of fighting in these villages, but none of them were there.

The villages along the way are dozens of households, and the least are seven or eight households, all of which are like this.

After passing a Hegang, the Northern Wei war horses in front suddenly became cheerful and ran significantly faster.

In front of the Northern Wei war horses running, the shape of a mound was faintly revealed. Some buildings on the hills had yellow walls. If the distance was slightly closer, you could see that it was a considerable temple.

Apart from some low shrubs, there are not even a few green weeds on the mound, which look bare and desolate.

The Northern Wei war horses in front of them ran faster and faster, and rushed directly along the hillside towards the temple gate on the mountain.

Lin Yi and Bai Yuelu looked at each other and slowly lowered their speed of riding. When these Northern Wei war horses arrived at the entrance of the temple, they naturally dispersed. They were actually stomping on the surrounding slopes and occasionally chewing on the grassroots in the ground.

Looking at the reactions of these war horses, Lin Yi and others were sure that these war horses should have stayed here for a long time a few days ago, so they were already familiar with the surrounding environment. However, the constraints of the rider made these strictly trained military horses walk around the base without tying the reins.

Lin Yi let go of his perception and slowly drove his horse to the front. Even though there was no one in his perception, he did not dare to relax at all.

This temple is a Buddhist temple. The main hall facing the temple gate is a bit old. The statues, walls and wooden pillars in the hall are all blackened by fireworks. Some new temples and side halls around are very new, and they should have been newly built over the years.

It should be more convenient for entry and exit. The door panel of the temple door has been roughly removed, perhaps directly broken into dry firewood, and there are several burnt bonfires on the ground inside the door. The ground and in front of the statue of the temple are full of traces of military rest, and there are even some dismantled blood-stained cloth.

There was no cover inside, and there was no enemy at all, which made Lin Yi feel a little disappointed while relaxing.

He got off the horse and handed the horse over to the young practitioners behind him to take care of it, and went into the hall first.

Rong Yi followed him into the hall. Even with the piles of black ashes in the night, the temple seemed empty and quiet. The sandalwood aroma accumulated in the smoke and fire made Rong Yi calm and forget the dangerous existence.

However, for some reason, in such tranquility, when Lin Yi and others did not feel anything strange, Rong Yi's mood did not relax. Instead, he felt a little nervous inexplicably, as if an invisible ghost was floating in the air here, making him more and more uneasy.

Skinny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, and he asked himself to concentrate on finding where the breath that made him uneasy came from. In the next moment, his breathing paused slightly, and his eyes subconsciously landed on the ground leading to the hall after the piles of black ashes.

The ground is covered with ordinary stone slabs, which are very thick, but have been polished by the soles over the years and even shine with some jade-like luster in the dim moonlight.

What really attracted him was the gaps between these stone slabs. The gaps were filled with soil and there was nothing abnormal. But when he looked at them intently, these gaps seemed to float like black lines in his perception, exuding a terrifying aura.

His vest began to sweat a lot.

"how?"

Whether it was Lin Yi, Qi Zhuji, or Bai Yuelu, he keenly sensed his abnormality at this moment.

Rong Yi took a deep breath and clenched his fists a little tighter, but he did not immediately answer the questions of Lin Yi and others. His perception extended along these floating black lines. In just a moment, he touched the end of these black lines.

That was after the statue of the god in this temple, and to be more precise, it was behind the wall behind the statue of the Buddha.

Where these black lines extend, there is a breath swelling, like the heart of a demon king. After every jump, it contains even more terrifying power.

"Go away!"

His face suddenly changed. His face, which was originally slightly red and hot because of nervousness, became white and bloodless. He shouted out a stern voice, but he still felt that it was not enough. The moment he turned around and flew out, he waved his hand frantically to the young practitioners outside the door, and at the same time he whistled: "Escape quickly!"

"Walk!"

Lin Yi didn't understand the truth, but he did not hesitate at all. The moment Rong Yi turned around, he pulled Xiao Suxin beside him and rushed out as fast as possible.

Bai Yuelu's movements were not slow either, and she even landed on the horse faster than Lin Yi, Xiao Suxin and others.

Her expression was very calm, and she instantly guessed a possibility.

Rong Yi is a disciple of the true teachings of the Southern Dynasty Master of Magic Formation. In the world of practitioners, the magic Formation is made of preset traps with special runes and unique materials.

The heaven and earth energy suppressed by unique means flows in the passage built by rune magic arrays, and then bursts out at some point. With the help of the terrain or unique climate, it bursts out with power that is stronger than the true energy means of the practitioner.

Rong Yi's reaction was so violent that there should be such a trap in this temple.

If such a trap is discovered in advance, she doesn't need to worry too much.

However, in the next moment, her face changed completely.

The ground of the entire hill vibrated, and fist-sized stones jumped up from the ground and then rolled down.

Countless hissing sounds were made behind the wall inside the temple, just like countless sharp swords of practitioners emitting substantial sword energy.

Without any hesitation, her hands bounced and some fine needle-like true energy sprinkled out of her fingertips and landed on the buttocks of the horse they were riding.

The tiny blood flowers surged on the horse's buttocks. The war horses that were originally very painful could not bear the spread of her true energy in the flesh and blood, and instantly ran down the mountain crazy.

She turned her head and looked back at the same time.

The moist soil in the cracks in the stone and ground in the temple gate really floated up, forming suspended black mud lines one inch from the ground, and then were shaken into pieces by invisible force.

There were many white lines on the wall behind the statue in the hall. The broken and collapsed walls were like ripe fruits, followed by the Buddha statue, and then the entire hall.

The white line expanded into white torrents, rushing up the broken gravel of the broken hall and the Buddha statues, but the ground continued to collapse and sank down.

The strong airflow caused a wet mist to rush into the air, hitting them.

When the seven young practitioners who were most unknown woke up, half of the hill had disappeared, and the Buddhist temple at the top of the hill completely disappeared, as if it had become a pond full of water, with overflowing water flowing down the hillside towards the large pieces of broken wood.

Lin Yi took the lead and rushed to the flat place below the hillside before stopping. Looking at this scene, even he felt a little cold in his heart and felt a sense of gratitude for the death of a disaster.

"There is a living spring in the temple. The other party used the living spring to set up a magic circle?"

He looked up at the flowing water solemnly and asked about the feelings beside him.

Rong Yi nodded. Until this time, his body was still sweating, and his heart was like a drumbeat.

"This person's method of setting up a formation is much better than mine." It was not until several breaths that he calmed down, wiped the sweat beads on his face, and looked at Lin Yi's voice tremblingly, "Even if I give me a breath of such a lively spring and a long time, I can't set up such a magic circle."

Li Moxiao looked at the disappearing mountain peak and temple, and a bitter smile slowly appeared on his slightly pale face.

The arrangement of any magic array requires familiarity with a large number of runes, many of which require rote memorization. In addition, it takes a lot of time to explore veins, Feng Shui and other knowledge. This is precisely the area he has not penetrated. So if Rong Yi did not remind him just now, he, Lin Yi and others might have died in the collapsed half of the mountain.

"You must try to find this person and kill him."

He took a deep breath and said seriously.

A young man like him who has amazing talents doesn't even take fame and fortune seriously. For a person like him who is destined to reach a high position in the world of cultivators, the most important thing is to practice. Therefore, even if he joins the Tie Ce Army, he doesn't have a strong desire to kill in the battle.

But now, his murderous intent is very strong.

No formation master would spend a lot of true energy and precious array materials to arrange a terrible trap that might not be used. The formation master was destined to set up a formation here after he knew their intentions.

The formation master who can set up such a magic array in such a short time is not only much more powerful than Rong Yi. I am afraid that the entire Southern Dynasty would not be able to select two or three such powerful formation masters.

Such a person is the most powerful armour in an army at this time, and will bring terrible damage.

When Li Moxiao said this, his eyes fell on Qi Zhuji and Bai Yuelu.

Because it is obvious that Lin Yi is a less informed existence than him, but in the entire Tie Ce army, Qi Zhuji and Bai Yuelu may have some solutions.

"Is it possible to track this person?" Lin Yi turned to look at Rong Yi and asked.

Rong Yi shook his head, "Even if there is his true energy aura in the magic circle, unless he uses the true energy nearby, there is no way to find him."

"If it were the magic array he set up, would you feel that it was him set up?" Lin Yi frowned slightly and asked seriously: "And... If he happened to use his true energy near you, would you really feel that it was him?"

Rong Yi took a deep breath.

He no longer sweated all over, but the sweat had soaked his clothes. At this time, even in the summer wind, he felt a little chilled.

He carefully savored the feeling at that time, felt the mud line floating in his perception, and the suppressed but powerful true energy breath inside. He nodded hesitantly and said, "It should be possible, but not absolutely sure."

"Do you know that Xiao Donghuang's subordinates have such a formation master?" Lin Yi turned around and looked at Bai Yuelu and asked.

"I haven't heard of it."
