Chapter 1168 Open The Door
"This is the only way." Although Xiang Nan was unwilling, there was no other way.
"We need to find another breakthrough in our strength, otherwise we will definitely not be able to kill her." Xiang Nan lowered his voice and said to Long Xingyun, "If you force her too close and drive this woman crazy, you might slaughter the Son of Heaven Peak martial artists regardless."
Long Xingyun took a deep breath and could only nod.
Xiang Nan smiled and thought to himself that it was not in vain to save him.
At this critical moment, Long Xingyun was still willing to stand up for the Son of Heaven Peak martial artist. He was at least much stronger than the black cloaked man.
Seeing that the two sides had reached an agreement, Guan Xiao flew towards the mountain gate.
"Xiang Bei, Long Xingyun, thank you." The martial artists below all expressed their gratitude to Xiang Nan and the others in fear.
Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Long Xingyun's heart was moved for no reason. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, "So, saving people is quite good. No wonder you are so happy."
Xiang Nan said, "As a martial artist, if you don't have some courage, then what kind of martial arts are you doing?"
"This group of people are fighting here regardless of life and death. They can be considered tough guys. If we can save them, we'll give them a hand."
Long Xingyun asked curiously, "Why does something change when it comes out of your mouth? At first, I felt that these weak people deserved it, but hearing you say that, I feel a little sympathy for them."
"That's because you always think from your own perspective," Xiang Nan said.
Xiang Nan had indeed caused a lot of trouble and done a lot of impulsive things along the way. However, from the Feiyun Temple's Elder to the woman on the Bridge of Helplessness in the Devil Sea, he had also extended a helping hand to him.
If those people also felt that Xiang Nan deserved it and was to blame, then there would be no Xiang Nan today.
Putting himself in the shoes of others was Xiang Nan's growth.
"Let's go take a look at the foot of the mountain." Xiang Nan gave Long Xingyun a look and both of them descended.
Guan Xiao and the black-cloaked man were looking at the mountain gate, but they were unable to enter.
After landing on the ground, Xiang Nan and the other two discovered that the ground was not even. There were some bones buried beneath their feet, some buried deep underground, and some occasionally exposed.
"Many people have died here." Xiang Nan frowned and touched the bones beneath his feet.
The first thing Long Xingyun saw was the mountain gate.
"There seems to be an array on it." Long Xingyun's eyes flashed with golden flames. "I can vaguely see the outline of an array diagram," he said.
"You still need to say this?" Guan Xiao mocked Long Xingyun and said, "If there wasn't a formation blocking me, I would have already entered."
"Watch what you say!" Long Xingyun pulled out his giant sword, "No matter how weird it is, don't blame me for killing you on the spot."
"Come on!" Guan Xiaopeng opened his wings and said, "If you want to fight, I will be at your side at any time!"
The two of them, the black-cloaked man and Xiang Nan, were seriously considering the matter before them.
Xiang Nan waved his hand and swept the floating earth away with his Dipper Qi. In the end, he discovered that there were scattered bones beneath his feet, at least three to five hundred bones.
"They are all elders." Xiang Nan sucked in a breath of cold air. A wisp of lightning flashed through his eyes, and he could clearly see these bones.
These skeletons were incomparably sturdy. They had been buried in the soil for more than 50,000 years, yet they did not have the slightest trace of decay.
Only an elder of exceptionally high cultivation could possess such a strong skeleton.
Then, Xiang Nan looked at the mountain gate.
Long Xingyun also seemed to have a peculiar visual ability, but he could only see faint formations on the mountain gate.
On the other hand, Xiang Nan's Lightning Photoelectric Eye could clearly see the formation. He discovered that there were a total of 111 formation eyes on the formation.
Formation diagrams with multiple formation eyes were still relatively rare.
What was even stranger was that those array eyes were not the source of the array formation's operation. In fact, this array formation was dead.
"Something's wrong." Xiang Nan frowned, "This formation is not working."
"Wasn't it a formation that stopped us?" The cloaked man asked curiously.
Xiang Nan walked over and touched the mountain gate, saying, "Not only is this formation not the main culprit blocking our path, it is even the key to opening the gate."
"This formation diagram has stopped moving. It means that it is the sect itself that is stopping us. It is very likely that the personal strength of the Soaring Dragon Sect's sect master has been injected into this sect."
"If we can make the formation diagram work, the mountain gate will only open."
"How did you know?" The cloaked man looked at Xiang Nan again, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Do you really want to hear me speak slowly?" Xiang Nan glanced at him indifferently.
The cloaked man smiled and said, "Your tone is really rushing. Your Son of Heaven Peak's people have a very small bearing."
"I don't want to hear any principles. I just want to open the mountain gate."
Xiang Nan turned around and took out a hundred and eleven waist tokens from the skeleton behind him. He then attached these tokens to the one hundred and eleven array holes on the mountain gate.
At that moment, the formation suddenly lit up and began to slowly circulate. The mountain gate also opened with a rumble!
Countless martial artists rushed in and rushed in, afraid that if they went too late, they would lose the chance to snatch the treasure.
Xiang Nan and the others immediately rushed in.
However, the scene inside caused everyone to be greatly disappointed.
There was indeed an open space within the mountain, but apart from a hundred pillars, there was nothing else.
"There must be a way." Guan Xiao refused to give up and went to inspect the pillars.
Each of these pillars was a hundred meters tall, and there was nothing at the top. On the surface of the pillars, there were a large number of dragon-shaped relief sculptures.
Apart from these, there was nothing else.
The rest of the martial artists were similarly unwilling to accept this. Instead, they went to inspect the wall to see if there were any hidden mechanisms.
The cloaked man leaned over to Xiang Nan and said, "If you don't mind your past grudges, can you tell me how you opened the door? I'm interested now."
"Are you begging me?" Xiang Nan looked at him indifferently.
That man was also very graceful. He bowed to Xiang Nan and said, "Although our people from the dark forces do not value virtue, they value righteousness."
"If you are willing to give me a few pointers, I will address you respectfully as Sir."
Xiang Nan sighed. His feelings towards the people from the dark forces were also quite complicated.
These people were ruthless, but they were very loyal. Back then, when Xiang Nan was in the Devil Sea, he had saved a few people from the dark forces.
When he fled the Western Regions, a large number of killers from the dark forces rushed out to protect Xiang Nan. Because Xiang Nan had saved a few people, they didn't hesitate to sacrifice hundreds or even thousands of people to protect Xiang Nan.
The cloaked man said, "Did you use any means to discover the mystery of opening the door?"
Xiang Nan pointed at his head and said, "I'm not using methods, I'm using wisdom."
"Since you want to know why I can open the door, I'll tell you."
"Ancient martial artists are more conservative and traditional than modern martial artists. The stone plaque on this mountain gate has been deleted, indicating that this place is an important place for the sect."
"What do you think is the most precious place for conservative ancient martial artists?"
