Chapter 313: Enemy and Friend

In the dense forest, night winds blew, and the bright moon rose from the east mountain, gradually hanging on the treetops in the west.

After entering the array, the enemy sacrificed an iron whip and beat it around, trying to break the array with brute force, then changed to finding the array eye to break the array with clever force, and now he had entered the pavilion and had not come out for a long time. It had already been two hours.

Liu Xiaolou sat in the forest, his spirit highly concentrated, fully controlling the array's performance, and he did not dare to be careless at all. Sweat poured down, and he did not know how many rounds he had shed.

After the Lin Yuan Xuan Stone array was re-refined, the performance in the pavilion had been divided into two layers. The first layer was still sitting in the hall watching the illusion, and the second layer would step into the back hall of the pavilion to continue the performance that was different for everyone.

Some were drinking and eating in the private rooms, some were looking for flowers and asking for willows in the back garden, some were playing zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting in front of the hall, some were burning incense and bathing in the soup pool...

In the new array, the illusions seen by the entrants were also reflected in Liu Xiaolou's divine sense. Therefore, the appearance of this woman was also seen by Liu Xiaolou, but it was somewhat blurred and not very clear.

Although it was not clear, it could be seen that this woman was at least in her early thirties. In a face that was blurred and unclear, the bridge of her nose seemed slightly high, and besides that, it was her figure, which could be considered graceful, but her chest was undoubtedly small.

Generally speaking, the characters that appear in the illusion are usually those that the entrant thinks about day and night.

Liu Xiaolou focused all his attention on every move of this person in the soup pool, and from time to time, he urged the illusory fragrance into it. The incense curled and drifted above the soup pool, mixed in the hot soup steam, forming a misty atmosphere, surrounding this person and urging the attack.

It was already the third time. This person was enjoying himself in the soup pool, moaning comfortably, and then could not help but stretch out his arm, touching the woman who was pouring hot soup for him in front of and behind him.

In the illusion array, the environment is born from the heart. Everything is actually constructed by the entrant. And in this new generation of Lin Yuan Xuan Stone array, once the entrant makes a move and enters the alley, it means being lost in the illusion array. At this time, Liu Xiaolou can withdraw the array plate to declare victory—the entrant has already indulged in the illusion, unable to extricate himself, and has no power to resist.

He saw this person's five fingers groping toward the woman's chest, but he never touched it, making Liu Xiaolou urge him constantly: "Touch it, touch it, touch it..."

In the end, the five fingers were still retracted by him and fell back into the hot soup pool.

Just when Liu Xiaolou was disappointed, his two hands were raised from the hot soup again and slowly stretched toward the woman's waist. Liu Xiaolou urged him again: "Go up! Go up! Go up!"

As a result, the two hands had not touched the target area before they were slapped away by the woman: "Don't mess around!"

Liu Xiaolou was truly speechless and cursed outside the array: "Coward!"

Being anxious was of no use. The other party just wouldn't make a move. He was worthy of being an old Foundation Establishment cultivator; his willpower was truly strong!

Liu Xiaolou raised his evaluation of him by another level. He was probably touching the edge of mid-stage Foundation Establishment, right?

If it were at a normal time, or in another place, it would be fine to fight with this guy patiently for three to five days, but it was not possible at this time and place. You know, he had looted a batch of Qingyuan Sect disciples during the day, and now he was at the southern foot of Qingyuan Mountain, right under the mountain gate of the Qingyuan Sect!

To be honest, even if the two had deliberately suppressed the power of their moves, it was a bit unreasonable that they hadn't alarmed the Qingyuan Sect yet.

Just as he was anxious, Liu Xiaolou suddenly felt a trace of chill.

He turned his head to look behind him, his eyes passing through the dense leaves above, and saw a bright light flashing on a rock on the hillside a hundred zhang away through those few tiny gaps.

This was something refracting the moonlight.

The chill in Liu Xiaolou's heart immediately spread to his whole body, from his scalp to the soles of his feet, feeling extremely cold, as if frozen!

That was an old man, peeking in his direction under the moonlight.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Liu Xiaolou just knew that this old man must be a master far superior to himself, because his fear of this old man was an instinct from the bottom of his heart, a fear of danger born when he naturally merged with all things in heaven and earth after Foundation Establishment!

Liu Xiaolou did not move at all. He truly did not dare to move, just looking at the hillside through the leaf gaps, but he did not dare to concentrate his gaze, fearing that he would alarm the old man, just simply wanting to know the old man's next move.

For a time, he had no time to take care of the Lin Yuan Xuan Stone array and immediately ordered the enemy in the array to escape.

After being trapped by the array for half the night, even if his cultivation was profound and his true essence was thick, he was exhausted. After escaping from the array, this person was about to counterattack, but like Liu Xiaolou, he discovered the danger on the northern hillside.

He and Liu Xiaolou had the same reaction, crouching in place, not daring to move half a step. The soft armor on his body quietly changed color, changing into a muddy black-yellow color.

Liu Xiaolou swept the Hidden Form Jade Pendant on his neck with the corner of his eye and prayed silently in his heart: "I'm counting on you."

He didn't know how long it had been, but the old man turned his body slightly, seemingly sweeping toward a certain place beside him. Liu Xiaolou naturally couldn't see clearly, but the chill in his heart dissipated a lot, and the pressure on his body suddenly lightened.

A mountain wind blew, and his feet tapped lightly. He didn't dare to use too much force and drifted backward with the wind.

Almost at the same time, the person not far beside him was also retreating in the same way. The two were like two leaves, swaying with the blowing of the mountain wind... They swayed for an unknown amount of time, about three or four miles, until before dawn, when the bright moon in the sky was blocked by dark clouds and it was darkest in the forest, they each glanced at each other and went their separate ways.

This fight came inexplicably and ended just as inexplicably. Being ambushed inexplicably, with the temperament of a Wulong Mountain cultivator, it was impossible to let it go, but given the current situation, he could only swallow this stuffy anger.

Liu Xiaolou poured true essence into his whole body and sprinted toward the southeast with all his might. As long as he escaped a few more miles, he should be able to escape the range of that old guy's attention, right?

The full-speed sprint of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was extremely fast. In a short while, he rushed out nearly a mile. This was a mile of mountain forest!

Just as he was rushing happily, movement suddenly sounded on the right side, and several figures could be faintly seen wandering in the forest.

Liu Xiaolou hurriedly changed direction, detoured to the left, and detoured more than half a mile, when he saw a figure coming from the left, approaching him quickly. It was the enemy who had just gone their separate ways not long ago.

The two looked at each other, and the man made a gesture to Liu Xiaolou, indicating that there were Qingyuan Sect disciples searching the mountain in that direction, asking Liu Xiaolou about the situation in this direction.

Well, things had come to this, so he could only temporarily put down the previous grievances and work together to deal with it.

"There are many people on my side." The man said.

"Same here, at least six people." Liu Xiaolou replied in a low voice.

"Go back? Or in this direction?" The man asked for Liu Xiaolou's opinion.

Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and pointed to the due east direction: "Go this way." He added: "The further away from Qingyuan Mountain, the better."

Indeed, thinking of the old man's gaze on the hillside, both of them felt a chill.

No more words, the two moved forward toward the due east direction together.

In this rapid advance, the effect of the Hidden Form Jade Pendant did not weaken, but the soft armor on that person did not work well—it was too late to change color. From this point of view, the shortcomings of the soft armor were relatively prominent.

It turned out that the search for the mountain in the due east direction was not empty. Facts proved that the Qingyuan Mountain's search action was large-scale and foolproof. The two soon ran into several people.

There were five people in total, led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, searching in the due east direction. The two just bumped into them.

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators joined forces to take action, and the power could be imagined. Liu Xiaolou threw out the Mystical Truth Rope in the air, and the person beside him flew out two short arrows.

In one encounter, the five people of the Qingyuan Sect were left with only two.

At this time, the inner disciple of the Qingyuan Sect who led the team had just shouted a sentence: "Stop!" ===== CHAPTER 314 =====

In a single encounter, the five people from the Qingyuan Sect were suddenly reduced to just two.

It was only then that the leading inner-sect disciple of the Qingyuan Sect managed to shout, "Stop right there!"
