Chapter 700: Did I Enter the Forbidden Land?

The Dao Yi Sect looks off at a glance, and the problem is serious, but Li Chengyue is clearly getting carried away right now.

As the three who grew up together from childhood, the young man and the maiden naturally understood his temper very well.

At this point, Li Chengyue definitely wouldn't leave; even if he hit a southern wall, he probably wouldn't.

No choice, the two could only sigh helplessly, supporting him on left and right, and left carefully.

As for behind them, Zhao Zhengping and Zhao Rou's battle continued, and a sword blade came rushing at them again.

"Be careful."

"Holy crap............"

As expected, Li Chengyue, who was being supported by the two, took another sword to his back.

"Hurry up and leave, I'm about to be chopped to death."

He found it odd—were these sword blades actually conscious? Why were they fixated on him while ignoring the two big living people beside him? You can't see them, so slash them instead.

Li Chengyue was inwardly bitter, while the young man and maiden obviously didn't know what he was thinking; otherwise they'd surely have given him a stab.

"We've been taking care of you like this, and you actually want us to get chopped?"

The three fled in panic.

Along the way afterward, the three were not at ease either; aside from some uninhabited courtyards—for example, the courtyard where the Divine Sword Peak residents lived, which was empty—any courtyard with people was crazier than the last.

In any case, along this route, the three didn't see a single normal person.

With great difficulty they reached the kitchen's location, but this place was utterly empty.

Ye Zhangqing naturally hadn't stayed in the kitchen; he had already returned together with Bai Hua Xianzi and Jueying.

At that moment, only Zhu Wu and Shan Hu were resting in the kitchen.

"What should we do now?"

"Let's go in and take a look first."

At this moment, Zhu Wu, Shan Hu hadn't noticed anything abnormal; Zhu Wu is an evil spirit, and night is the best time to absorb yin energy, so he was busy cultivating.

As for Shan Hu, he was already sound asleep, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, muttering indistinctly.

"Delicious, really delicious..........."

A person and a ghost weren't the slightest bit worried about the kitchen's safety, after all, what place is the Dao Yi Sect's kitchen? It's a vital area comparable to the sect's treasury.

From the moment they moved in, everyone had already laid layer upon layer of defenses around the kitchen, so naturally there was no need to worry.

But Li Chengyue and the other two didn't know as they sneaked into the kitchen in the dark.

But before they had taken two steps, suddenly a faint red light flashed under the young man's feet; as the light appeared, the young man immediately turned pale with fright.

"Oh no, I've been hit by a talisman."

"Huh???"

Hearing that, Li Chengyue and the maiden quickly turned their heads, and indeed saw a talisman stepped on by the young man.

For a moment, both stared wide-eyed—how could there be a talisman in this kitchen?

"Don't panic, I brought a dispelling talisman."

A dispelling talisman is a very common type of talisman; its sole purpose is to neutralize the power of talismans of the same rank.

But it only works on the same rank, so dispelling talismans exist from first grade to saint grade.

Simply put, to neutralize a seventh-grade talisman, you need a seventh-grade dispelling talisman; a sixth-grade one is useless.

Thus, due to the different grades, the prices of dispelling talismans vary enormously.

Seeing that the young man had stepped on a seventh-grade talisman, Li Chengyue without hesitation took out a seventh-grade dispelling talisman; pressing the two talismans together, the seventh-grade talisman quickly lost its glow.

"Phew, good, good."

With the crisis resolved, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at present he felt even more apprehensive.

"Let's go, this Dao Yi Sect is really too evil."

"No, we've come this far, we can't leave; rest assured, I'm prepared."

But Li Chengyue absolutely refused to leave, insisting on going to the kitchen to have a look no matter what.

Hearing that, the young man and maiden were also helpless, and the three continued forward.

But just as they took a single step, the young man's face instantly turned pale.

"I've been hit again."

"What did I get hit by?"

Hearing that, Li Chengyue and the maiden turned their heads, and upon seeing, they too were stunned—how could it be another seventh-grade talisman?

Seeing the talisman flash with light, Li Chengyue acted even faster this time, directly taking out a dispelling talisman to cancel it out.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared."

"Mm."

"That Li brother, I've been hit again."

"Hit again? Keep an eye on things."

"It's useless, they've placed concealment talismans."

"No worries, I'm prepared."

Just like that, after entering the kitchen and traveling less than ten meters, the three stepped on what seemed like over twenty talismans in succession.

Although Li Chengyue had made preparations, he couldn't withstand such consumption.

In less than ten meters, he had already used over twenty dispelling talismans; now he only has three left in his hand, and moreover, a seventh-grade dispelling talisman costs more than a seventh-grade talisman.

At the same rank, dispelling talismans are priced higher than other types of talismans, which is perfectly normal and nothing strange.

"Have we entered the forbidden land? We've only gone less than ten meters."

He turned his head to look at the courtyard gate behind them; the young man who had been hit the most wore an expression of utter hopelessness.

What kind of kitchen is this? It's simply more terrifying than those forbidden lands. You see that forbidden land? If you rush over, within ten meters, they'll whip up about twenty seventh-grade talisman seals for you.

Moreover, they said it's over twenty, but who knows how many remain unused?

"I'm telling you, something's really off. Let's go back first."

"Let's try again, some small tricks; there definitely won't be any danger ahead."

Li Chengyue said through gritted teeth. Hearing that, the young man and the girl obviously didn't believe it, their eyelids twitching wildly.

"Are you sure?"

"Certainly."

Saying that, Li Chengyue also stepped forward, intending to clear the way.

But changing people seemed to make no difference; still, as soon as a foot stepped down, light flashed beneath it.

"It's not a talisman seal, it's this disk—holy shit... an eighth-level formation disk."

Looking at Li Chengyue's feet, the young man and the girl were dumbfounded—this time it wasn't a talisman seal, but a formation disk, and moreover an eighth-grade one.

Seeing that, Li Chengyue was also taken aback, but he quickly produced a formation disk.

Like the dispelling curse talisman, this formation disk is specially used to deal with formations; it's called a formation-breaking disk.

Likewise, it's more expensive than formations of the same rank.

But right now, Li Chengyue naturally couldn't worry about those things; he just used it directly.

Seeing Li Chengyue holding both dispelling curse talismans and formation-breaking disks, the young man and the girl were dumbfounded.

"Are you courting death? Never mind all those dispelling curse talismans, but you also want to use a formation-breaking disk?"

"I'm willing to pay any price."

You.............

Seeing Li Chengyue's grim, teeth-clenched expression, the young man and the girl were helpless.

"Let's go."

Afterward, Li Chengyue continued stepping forward; as expected, the formation disk activated.

"Break it for me."

"Again? Break it for me."

"Still coming? I don't believe it—how many traps can you set up here?"

Looking at stack after stack of dispelling curse talismans and piece after piece of formation-breaking disks, Li Chengyu used them up like cabbage, and the young man and the girl were on the verge of collapse.

"Is this a kitchen? Why would a kitchen have so many talisman seals and formation disks?"
