Eternal Sword Monarch

That's right, although Xia Ling didn't dare to say that he completely understood this "Diagram Array". However, through some barely recognizable patterns, he was able to determine a part of its purpose.    

It should be used to suppress people.    

Suppression had always been a very common use of formations. It was also used extensively, and was mostly used to suppress the power of some evil things.    

For example, magical treasures with demonic properties, divine weapons, ancient relics, and even demonic beasts that could be suppressed!    

However, there was a 'divination array' here...    

Even Xia Ling had a trace of unease in his heart. What sort of terrifying thing was he suppressing?    

Then, Xia Ling smiled again. He was probably too worried. Even though there was a formation, the facilities of this "Mystery City" were clearly not activated at all. Maybe there was only a formation, and there was no suppression.    

"Alright, it's better to find that ghost Pu Yuhee first." Xia Ling tried to stretch his shoulders. He felt that nothing bad had happened.    

Even if this formation "Diagram Array" was really used to suppress some evil being, now was not the time to investigate. If something really happened that was dangerous, Pu Yuhee could look for it.    

This was because Pu Yuhee's tracks were very clear. It was much more reliable than this formation that did not require any ethereal form. Ever since they arrived at this place, the aura on Pu Yuhee's body became clearer and clearer.    

They continued to walk forward. After passing through a few heavily guarded barricades, they came across a huge fortress.    

This kind of fortress was not like something that was built later, it should have been built with "Mystery City" from the very beginning.    

Pu Yuhee's aura was also one of them.    

"Get ready, the defenses in this area are very likely to be activated." Before entering, Xia Ling cautiously reminded Xia Yanning.    

The young lady waved the purplish black greatsword in her hand, indicating that she understood.    

This fortress was built extremely tall. Although it was not comparable to the tall walls of the "Mystery City", the outer wall of a normal city was still only this tall. Moreover, the thickness of the wall might not even be half as thick as this place.    

The entrance to the fort was extremely narrow, so it was likely that it was built to protect the left and right sides from attacks. With such a thick wall and narrow entrance, even if one had to use the Sword One Tao Spirit Chapter Sword Technique – the Solar Disk s' level of martial skill to strike, the damage one would receive would be minimized.    

However, the door was not locked and Xia Ling and the others could directly enter. To be exact, there was only an entrance and no door. It should be time for the war, as the cultivators that enter will use some method to seal the entrance from within, making it even more sturdy.    

After entering the fortress, the first floor was a dark space. It was completely sealed off, with only a small staircase leading upwards. This should be the location of the caches and supplies. Even in a battle between cultivators, a large amount of resources would be consumed.    

Sure enough, there were a large number of weapons in the corner. There was an enormous number of them. It was unknown how many there were. Furthermore, they were all the best of the best, almost comparable to peerless weapons!    

Seeing these weapons, Xia Ling would naturally not be polite and directly kept them into his Mustard Seed Bag.    

In any case, this Mustard Seed Bag of his was a treasure that Dark Demon Domain had spent a great deal of effort to obtain, so the space inside was simply endless. When these weapons were thrown into the lake, it was as if stones had been transferred into a lake.    

Only after doing this did Xia Ling realize that he wasn't moving alone anymore. Since he had already gained something, he naturally couldn't take it for himself.    

Seeing Xia Ling's surprised expression, the girl waved her hand generously: "It's alright. If you didn't bring me in, how would I have the chance to see so many fine weapons? It should all be yours. "    

How could this work? Xia Ling could only shake his head, "Just treat it as me holding it for you temporarily."    

That's right, if all these items were given to Xia Yanning and she didn't have a Mustard Seed Bag, how would she be able to obtain them?    

The group quickly finished their search of the fortress.    

Besides the weapons on the first floor, there were also crossbow bolts set up at the top of the battlements. No one knew how to build these crossbow bolts, but they were extremely powerful. Despite ten thousand years of time, it was still able to operate normally.    

Xia Ling also kept them all.    

There was nothing else to say. Although the defensive formations here were not completely ineffective, no matter how rich and powerful the Clear Heart Sect was, it was impossible for one to spread a "divination formation" throughout every inch of the "Mystery City". The fort in front of him was only one of the many "Mystery City" fortresses. Xia Ling was able to deal with the formation here.    

However, there was only one doubt, Pu Yuhee's presence suddenly disappeared in front of a wall.    

This wall was just a wall in the middle of the third floor of the fort. It was clearly visible from the front and back, and it didn't look like a secret passage anymore. The wall was only two feet thick, what secret passage could there be?    

"It should be a formation, right?" Although Xia Yanning didn't know much about formations, when it came to such incomprehensible matters, it naturally went to formations.    

Xia Ling pinched his chin and thought about it. This place didn't seem like it had any sort of array formation. Even if there was a array formation, it was only an ordinary defensive array. It was impossible to completely break the aura of a ghost...    

… …. Could it be that the ghost had set up a defensive array and was killed in this place?    

Although it wasn't impossible, Xia Ling still felt that it was absurd.    

At this moment, Er Yue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly thought of something. He looked at Xia Ling with a serious expression and said, "Lord Sword Emperor, this might be an illusion technique."    

Illusion Techniques? Xia Ling was also shocked, and suddenly felt like he understood something. That's right, that's indeed a possibility!    

When Xia Yanning, who was standing nearby, heard Liu Tie's words, she was also clearly taken aback. However, her surprise was different from Xia Ling's: "Lord Sword Emperor?" The young girl asked curiously.    

"Why does this child call you Lord Sword Emperor?"    

Xia Ling was also stunned for a moment. Er Yue blurted out, revealing Xia Ling's true identity.    

Actually, it was fine, but Xia Ling didn't really care. Even if Xia Yanning knew that he was Sword Emperor from thirty thousand years ago, so what?    

He was a frank person and disdained to fake it. He was about to explain it all to Xia Yanning, "I …"    

It was unexpected that the girl did not seem to want to hear it. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to explain anymore. Did you trick a little kid into thinking that you are some sort of Sword Emperor? "    

"I always thought you were a serious person, but I didn't expect you to be so fond of playing around."    

Xia Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Forget it, since that's the case, I won't explain anymore.
