Chapter 203 Sequestration
Chapter 203 Sequestration
In the Quicksand Region, the breeze blew gently, and the sand rolled intermittently with the wind. There were no plants in such a place, let alone animals. Even the extremely vigorous monsters were nowhere to be seen. It was desolate and silent. The entire Quicksand Region was so quiet that it was frightening.
Three monks wearing dark blue armor and holding weapons in their hands were carefully flying close to the sand. Although the surroundings were desolate, the three monks were alert and did not dare to relax at all.
"Brother, the Quicksand Region is just a relatively dangerous place. The monsters there are not very strong. We don't need to be so careful. I think we should hurry up. If we can find Kong Fang's whereabouts, we will have made a great contribution."
"Yes, senior brother, I think what Junior Brother Qing said makes sense. We entered the Qingtian Tomb this time not for training and exploration, but to find Kong Fang. The sect has bestowed many good treasures for our safety. The mere Quicksand Region is nothing to be afraid of. If any monsters dare to run out, we will make sure they never return." Another cultivator also spoke up.
The cultivator flying in the front looked back at his two fellow apprentices, but his expression did not relax at all. Instead, it became more solemn.
"It's true that we came here to find Kong Fang, and we did get a lot of treasures. But, are we really safe with those treasures? This is Qingtian Tomb, not some other dangerous place. Even if it were any other dangerous place, it would be very dangerous if you two had this mentality."
"Brother, you are too cautious."
"Indeed, there is a little bit." The other two said nonchalantly, and then they looked around boredly, but all they saw was the undulating sea of sand. There was nothing else. Not to mention the monsters. Not even the shadow of a monster could be seen.
“That Kong Fang is only a cultivator at the peak of the spiritual realm. Yet he was able to alarm the Lingshen Sect, causing it to mobilize all the sects to search for him. Senior Brother, why do you think the Lingshen Sect would do this? Is it because Kong Fang possesses three talents?” The cultivator called Junior Brother Qing spoke with a hint of jealousy and envy in his voice.
"Although the three talents are extremely rare, they are still not enough to move a giant like the Lingshen Sect. You must know that strength is not just about talent, there are many other factors. The three talents can only mean that Kong Fang can have more opportunities than others in the path of cultivation, but it does not mean that he can reach the peak." The senior brother flying in the front said in a deep voice: "The Lingshen Sect is looking for Kong Fang with great fanfare, there must be other reasons. But even our sect dare not intervene in such matters. You should talk less about these things in the future to avoid causing trouble. Our purpose is to find Kong Fang. As long as we find Kong Fang's trace, we will leave Qingtian Tomb as soon as possible and notify the people of Lingshen Sect. Then our sect can get great benefits from Lingshen Sect."
"Why do we need to inform the Spiritual God Sect if we find Kong Fang? He will surely run away long ago, and the people of the Spiritual God Sect might even suspect us of lying. As long as we find Kong Fang, the three of us brothers can just capture him. Not to mention that we have a lot of treasures, even with our cultivation in the late stage of the Ascension Realm and my brother's peak of the Ascension Realm, it will be easy to capture Kong Fang, who is at the peak of the Entry into the Spirit Realm."
"Yes, let's capture Kong Fang directly and hand him over to the Lingshen Sect. Anyone who finds Kong Fang's whereabouts and tells the Lingshen Sect will get great benefits. If we capture Kong Fang, won't we get even more benefits?"
The two of them had already begun to imagine the wonderful scene after capturing Kong Fang.
"Shut up, everyone." The senior brother who was flying in the front suddenly stopped, growled at the two of them, and immediately turned around, staring at the distance with a serious look.
The two fellow apprentices were stunned. Seeing that their senior brother had a very solemn expression, they did not dare to say anything more and looked into the distance, but they did not find anything.
"follow me."
The senior brother flew quickly to the place where he had just discovered the abnormality, and the two junior brothers followed immediately. However, the three of them flew close to the sand and did not dare to fly high.
The higher you fly in the Quicksand, the easier it is to become a target for monsters. Although flying close to the ground makes it easier to be attacked by monsters, you usually only need to deal with one or two monsters, so if you are careful, there will be no big problem. But if you fly high in the sky, you will not face a few monsters at a time, but a group.
The three of them were flying very fast, and the strong wind they created blew up the sand below, instantly raising three streams of dust.
Suddenly, the senior brother who was flying in the front suddenly stopped on a sand dune, looking at the area a few dozen feet away with a look of shock. At that location, human and monster corpses were scattered everywhere.
The two junior brothers flew over and landed on the side. When they saw the corpses that were half buried in the sand, they were stunned for a moment, and then a hint of fear flashed in their eyes at the same time.
In front of us, there were numerous corpses of both humans and monsters. It was obvious that a terrible war had taken place here before.
The two were confident that they could easily deal with the monsters in the Quicksand Region, but when they saw the corpses scattered everywhere, they lost their confidence for the first time. Only the corpses of these people were left, and they were obviously those who had entered the Qingtian Tomb before. In the past, only the cultivators at the peak of the Ascension Realm dared to enter the Qingtian Tomb to hone their skills.
If they had not been directly selected by the sect this time, the two would not have dared to enter the Qingtian Tomb. However, after the sect bestowed a large number of treasures, the self-confidence of the two began to swell uncontrollably.
This battlefield was the place where Kong Fang was ambushed by the Wind Wing Tiger and the monsters in the Quicksand when he was crossing the Quicksand. The battle was too brutal, but all the monsters in the Quicksand were killed or injured. Only the strongest monster escaped, but in the end it still died at the hands of Kong Fang.
"Senior Brother, let's leave here quickly and look for Kong Fang somewhere else." Junior Brother Qing said with a slightly pale face and a trembling voice.
The other monk swallowed and looked at their senior brother expectantly. At this moment, the two of them no longer dared to ignore their senior brother's words.
Just as their senior brother was about to say something, suddenly——
"Whoa", the surrounding yellow sand suddenly rose up, forming four yellow sand walls that surrounded them. The yellow sand walls rose quickly and soon exceeded ten feet.
Faced with this sudden change, the three were shocked, and then flew upwards quickly at the same time, trying to rush out from above.
But at this moment, the four yellow sand walls that rose to a height of ten feet suddenly stopped, and then quickly closed together, sealing the top.
"No, let's go downstairs." The senior brother roared, then turned to the ground and tried to drill out from underground.
The two junior brothers were so frightened that their minds were in a mess and they were unable to think at all. All they did was follow their senior brother.
'Bang', 'Bang', 'Bang',
There were three heavy thuds in succession, and the three brothers hit the ground hard, and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. The originally soft sand was now countless times harder than rock. Not to mention escaping underground, even the strong impact they had just made couldn't leave a crack in the sand.
"It's over." The senior brother said in a low voice with fear flashing in his eyes.
"Ah!" Junior Brother Qing flashed in front of the yellow sand wall and attacked it frantically, but his attack fell on the yellow sand wall like an ant trying to shake a tree, and he couldn't even knock away the sand.
The other person hesitated for a moment, then took out a crescent-shaped knife that was gleaming with a pale blue light from his storage ring. He gritted his teeth and injected a stream of magic power into the crescent-shaped knife.
"Buzz", the light blue knife suddenly trembled, and then -
'call out'……
The light green knife suddenly disappeared from the man's hand, leaving a blurry light green trail in the air, cutting towards the yellow sand wall in front.
"Junior brother, don't do that." When the senior brother saw this scene, his face suddenly changed, but it was too late to stop it.
With a loud bang, the light blue knife hit the yellow sand wall and shattered directly. Then the terrifying wind force rushed towards the three people violently.
'puff',
'puff',
'puff',
The three of them were knocked away by the terrifying wind force that rushed towards them without any power to resist, and slammed heavily into the yellow sand wall behind them. The three of them spurted out large mouthfuls of blood, and slid down the yellow sand wall weakly, falling onto the sand below.
"I just trapped you temporarily, I don't want your lives. But if you seek death, you can't blame others." At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the space formed by the yellow sand, and the wind force that was originally raging in the yellow sand space suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The three brothers were seriously injured and could only collapse on the ground. But after hearing the cold voice, the three struggled to look around, trying to find the source of the sound.
Suddenly, the yellow sand in front of the three brothers bulged up and then formed the shape of a person. Although it was formed by yellow sand, it was lifelike.
"You, you are Kong Fang?" The senior brother looked at the sandman in front of him in shock. His two junior brothers were trembling all over, obviously very scared. Before, the two were confident to capture Kong Fang, but now they were so scared that they almost forgot who they were. They just moved behind their senior brother, hoping that their senior brother could protect them from some danger.
"From now on, you just stay here well. When I have resolved the issues between Lingshen Sect and your various sects, I may then let you leave safely." The voice came out from Kong Fang's lips formed by the yellow sand.
Although there was only a sand man in front of them, the three of them did not dare to be negligent and nodded quickly.
"Bang", the sand collapsed and the space formed by the yellow sand returned to peace, leaving only the three brothers who were still in shock.
At the same time, similar scenes were playing out in various places in the Qingtian Tomb. Some people were trapped by the yellow sand, some were caught by the water flow, and some were entangled by the trees. Whether it was the peak cultivators of the Ascension Realm who had entered the Qingtian Tomb for training before, or the cultivators who came in later to look for Kong Fang, they were all trapped by the various formations controlled by Kong Fang.
The monks who entered Qingtian Tomb to look for Kong Fang were stunned when they saw Kong Fang's figure using the power of the formation. They never expected that they would meet Kong Fang in such a situation. Although they had a great advantage in numbers, they had no power to resist and became Kong Fang's captives.
