Fate of the Immortals and Demons

The mummy-like figure didn't say much. After taking the jade slip, he directly copied the method of cracking it into it, then threw it back to Mo Hei and said:

"You must hurry. If you don't handle this matter before dawn, you will surely die at the hands of these resentful snow spirits."

"What!?"

Mo Hei was shocked. After taking the jade slip in his hand, he felt it was heavy and couldn't help but want to retreat.

The man who looked like a corpse spoke hoarsely and slowly:

"Don't disbelieve me, someone before you has mistakenly entered this place. Because they didn't complete the test before dawn, even if they fought their way here, I can't guarantee that they would die without a burial place."

Mo Hei felt his body go cold, and couldn't help but think of the shocking traces of fighting in the underground passage, and blurted out:

"What if I run away now?"

"This prison is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Why not try the teleportation talisman in your hand now?"

Mo Hei hesitated for a moment, but did not activate the teleportation talisman in his hand. Firstly, he had not reached that point yet, and secondly, if he left at this point, wouldn't it be like visiting a treasure trove with nothing?

After calming down, Mo Hei put away the teleportation talisman. The man who looked like a mummy saw it and couldn't help but show a hint of approval.

Holding the jade slip, Mo Hei turned and asked:

"I don't know your name, Senior. How should I address you?"

When the mummy-like figure was asked his name, he was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up at the square hole above his head that looked like a skylight, and recalled:

"I am Taoist Master Dao Yin, the 20th generation head of the Ice God Palace!"

"Master Dao Yin!? Wait... the 20th generation head of the Ice God Palace?"

Mo Hei couldn't help but look at the person in front of him again. He never expected that this person was the head of the Ice God Palace, and the 20th generation head.

Mo Hei couldn't help but have doubts, and for a moment he was confused by a million things, but he didn't know where to start.

What's more, time is pressing. If the test is not completed before dawn, it will be as it is said, which will be terrible.

Thinking of this, Mo Hei stopped talking and asking questions, and quickly placed the jade slip between his eyebrows to check it out.

Fortunately, Mo Hei once studied under Ning Chenzi at the Shushan Sword Sect in the Demon Spirit Realm.

And perhaps Ning Chenzi really taught Mo Hei everything he knew without reservation because Mo Hei had passed the three levels of Tongxian Tower.

At this moment, after examining the jade slip that contained the method to break the formation, Mo Hei couldn't help but recall that Ning Chenzi had once explained the method to him.

"This art of formations encompasses everything. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three categories: killing formations, trapping formations, and defensive formations. Usually, killing formations focus on attacking, and can be divided into virtual killing formations and real killing formations."

Combining these two things, Mo Hei naturally had some understanding and was no longer completely in the dark, confused and at a loss.

With basic knowledge of the art of formation, Mo Hei naturally understood the method of breaking the formation recorded in the jade slip.

This is like playing Go. If someone teaches you how to play Go, you should play the 39th position in the 'level' position.

If you know nothing about playing Go, you would have no idea where the "level" Sanjiu Road is on the Go board?

However, now, I have basic knowledge of the art of battle.

Naturally, it is like playing chess with someone, with someone giving instructions in your ear, telling you where to place the pieces on the board.

With this method to break the formation, it would be easy for Mo He to break the prison formation in the Ice God Palace ruins.

At the same time, this also allowed Mo Hei to have a deeper understanding of the art of battle.

If I encounter a situation where I need to break a formation next time, I will have gained some experience thanks to this practice, and I won't be confused for a long time and have no idea where to start.

After reading the method of breaking the formation recorded in the jade slip, Mo Hei felt that he had benefited a lot. He immediately bowed to Taoist Yin Zhenren, then turned around and left with Taiyi Randeng in his hand.

Taoist Master Dao Yin saw this, and a glint of approval flashed across his cloudy old eyes. He mused to himself,

"Looking at this person's appearance, he bears a striking resemblance to what the Demon Lord once described, like a phoenix before its rebirth. Although hideously ugly, if he reforms, he will surely be reborn, a brand new person."

"I'm afraid there are nearly a hundred prisoners in this cell. In other words, I must cremate these nearly a hundred prisoners overnight, letting their ashes return to ashes and their dust return to earth."

While thinking secretly, Mo Hei had already returned to the prison area step by step from the underground passage, holding the Taiyi Lantern. Facing the rows of cells, he knew that time was running out and the task was heavy.

Unfortunately, this is just Mo Hei's wishful thinking.

But you have to know that the empty cells here are the masterpieces of people who came here before.

Mo Hei immediately started from the first cell on the left. Following the method of cracking the cell engraved on the jade slip, he concentrated his mind and energy and began to crack the cell.

"Crack!"

Follow the patterns of the formation and follow the method of breaking it in the jade slip.

Mo Hei groped his way along, just like crossing a river by feeling the stones, and soon he had the pattern of the formation memorized.

But it also took nearly an hour. At this speed, it would be difficult to break the formation of the cell, enter it, and cremate the body overnight.

"We need to speed up time. How great it would be if we could slow it down or even imprison it."

After opening the first cell, Mo Hei let out a long sigh and couldn't help but whisper to himself.

"By the way, can't I also slow down time?"

Mo Hei suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he subconsciously looked at his palms. Under the current circumstances, although it was like sharpening the sword before the battle, it was much better than sitting and waiting to die.

Mo Hei was thinking this as he stepped into the cell, only to see a dried corpse frozen inside.

Wearing a white prison uniform, he was curled up in a ball, squatting in the corner of the cell. His face could not be seen clearly, and it was not known whether he was a man or a woman.

Mo Hei was still thinking of looting some items from him, but after seeing this, he realized that he was too dreamy.

"You look pitiful, so rest in peace!"

Mo Heifa felt a sincere emotion in his heart, then he held the Taiyi Burning Lamp in one hand and a spirit stone in the other, and used the scorching light emitted by the Taiyi Burning Lamp to guide it onto the mummy that had been dead for a long time.

"From this perspective, I was truly born to be a demon child. If it were the righteous Ding Yubai, he would definitely not covet this Taiyi Lantern that doesn't belong to him."

Mo Hei thought so, and then set the entire cell on fire, turning it into a raging fire.

"Thank you, my friend, for helping me finally escape. I have no way to repay you. This is what I have learned throughout my life, to repay your kindness..."

Just as the mummy was burned to ashes by the raging fire, the dark shadow of a middle-aged man emerged from the flames.

Without waiting for Mo Hei's response, the middle-aged man, who looked like a ghost, waved his hand, left a few words on the wall of the cell, and then disappeared.

"Falling in the Nerve!?"

Mo Hei looked at the words left on the wall, feeling both surprised and happy. He saw that these words were gradually extinguished along with the flames.

Mo He hurriedly took out another jade slip and copied the text inside it, intending to study it carefully when he had time.

"Haha! This really is the case of good deeds being rewarded! I never thought such a good thing could happen. Looks like I'm going to be rich."

Mo Hei was so happy and excited.

Little did they know that as the middle-aged man disappeared, one of the resentful snow spirits that rushed out of the prison also disappeared.

In this way, Mingfang, who was being chased with nowhere to escape, was able to save his life.

"What happened? This ferocious and resentful snow spirit just disappeared out of thin air?"

Mingfang was leaning against a broken wall at this moment, still feeling a bit unbelievable. The teleportation talisman in his hand was already soaked with sweat from the palm of his hand.

After calming down, Mingfang, who felt that he had somehow saved his life, paused and quickly hid in a nearby dilapidated house. After entering, he quickly took out a formation plate and covered the dilapidated house.

I just hope I can survive this night safely.

In fact, anyone who is familiar with the Ice God Palace ruins knows that it is very large and can be divided into two major areas, the Outer Palace and the Inner Palace.

This outer palace is the outer building of the Ice God Palace ruins. Since the Ice God Palace ruins have been opened many times, the outer palace area of ​​the Ice God Palace has been looted more than once.

Trying to find a bargain is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, the outer palace of the Ice God Palace ruins is not only full of dangers and troubles caused by many snow spirits, but also there are not many opportunities to be found.

Because of this, everyone who entered the Ice God Palace ruins would try every possible means to enter the inner palace.

But if you want to enter the inner palace, you must pass through the outer palace, which means you have to rush all the way into the inner palace.

Wanting to be the first to break into the inner palace from the outer palace is equivalent to being a pioneer.

The bloody battles along the way can be said to be quite tragic.

Because of this, people like Long Batian or Luo Ting who came from the fairy world.

Even Xu Zhuzi, Yue Jinchao and others who came from the Heavenly Spirit Realm did not think highly of themselves.

Instead, they were quite humble, lingering with each other outside the gate of the Ice God Palace ruins, all wanting the others to go in first and take the lead.

After all, entering the inner palace from the outer palace is not as simple as just avoiding the snow elves.

There are also countless arrays and mechanisms. If you step into them carelessly, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also life-threatening.

But you must know that the formation mechanism in the Ice God Palace ruins will restart every time it is opened.

It was for this reason that Mo Hei saw those empty cells, which were clearly empty but still difficult to open.

This is simply because the corpses in these empty cells have been cremated by people who also mistakenly entered this place, and they have also received the true teachings from these dead souls.

It's a pity that in the end it all became a wedding dress for Mo Hei.
