Mount Tai was located between the Red Phoenix City and the Wasteland City. It was quite desolate and full of Arrays. It was very dangerous, and few people would come here.
Of course, there were also many practitioners who would form groups to explore Mount Tai for the sake of the legendary relics.
The sky gradually darkened, but the group of four followed the winding path and climbed towards the peak of the mountain.
"Won't we run into demonic beasts at night?"
After walking for a while, night fell, and the whole mountain range fell into darkness.
Lin Ye trembled, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart. He couldn't help but approach Shen Qingyun and Qing Yue, and the power of his Divine Thought appeared beside him.
The four of them were Lin Ye, Qing Yue, and Ding Fengtian.
It seemed that Ding Fengtian didn't trust Lin Ye enough. After learning that the canyon on the map fragment might be on Mount Tai, he asked to go with them in the name of his understanding of Mount Tai.
Mount Tai was dangerous, and Ding Fengtian was not weak. Lin Ye was happy to agree.
However, Lin Ye didn't expect that Ding Fengtian would ask to go up the mountain at night!
Ding Fengtian had studied most of the Arrays on Mount Tai, and he had set up traps around some of the Arrays. At night, he could identify most of the Arrays on Mount Tai, and it would be safer for them.
Knowing this, Lin Ye agreed to go up the mountain for the safety of Shen Qingyun and Qing Yue.
However, when night fell and Lin Ye was walking in the mountain range, he started to feel anxious. He had an ominous premonition.
Glancing at Lin Ye, who was a little flustered, Ding Fengtian said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I've lived here for more than ten years, and I've explored Mount Tai. I'm familiar with most of the Arrays here. As long as you follow me, you won't be in danger!"
"But you, if you can't find any clues about the Cold Abyss Canyon on Mount Tai, I'd better take back the map fragment."
"Phew, don't worry, Mount Tai must be related to the Cold Abyss Canyon!
I'm definitely going to get that map fragment! "
Rubbing his nose, Lin Ye held Shen Qingyun's hand and followed Ding Fengtian vigilantly.
It had to be said that Ding Fengtian was very familiar with Mount Tai. Although it was night and the mountains were extremely dark, under the guidance of Ding Fengtian, Lin Ye and the others did not encounter any dead ends or steep roads, nor did they encounter any demon beasts.
In the mountain range, there were many demonic beasts. Especially at night, if one did not bring beast repellent powder, one would often encounter powerful demonic beasts.
But this time, after walking for four hours and arriving halfway up the mountain, they didn't even see the shadow of a demonic beast!
As for the formation, it was not affected by Ding Fengtian's arrangement.
However, just as he was about to reach the mountain range, Ding Fengtian exclaimed and stopped in his tracks.
"Something's wrong!"
"The Array here seems to have been tampered with by someone!"
Ding Fengtian's eyes turned cold. Two balls of flames rose in the air and lit up the surrounding area.
Lin Ye spread out the power of his soul and turned it into an invisible light shield, covering the four of them.
"Don't be so careful."
Glancing at Lin Ye, Ding Fengtian pointed at the Array in front of them and said, "This Array has been tampered with."
"Originally, these Arrays were passive Arrays. They would only be triggered when someone touches them.
But now, they will be triggered as long as someone comes within ten feet of them.
Even the traps that I set up earlier have been wiped out! "
Looking in the direction that Ding Fengtian was pointing at, they could see a faint light flickering on the drooping branches.
"Can this Array be cracked?"
Lin Ye frowned.
"It's easy to crack it, but …"
Ding Fengtian glanced at Lin Ye and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you're the only one who knows that the Cold Abyss Canyon might be on Mount Tai?"
Hearing this, Lin Ye could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
Lin Ye understood Ding Fengtian's meaning. It was very likely that other people knew about this as well. After coming to Mount Tai, they changed the Array in order to prevent others from going up, hoping to stop others from going up.
"I'm not the only one who knows about this."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ye told them everything that had happened earlier.
Ding Fengtian and the other two finally understood that it was a coincidence that Lin Ye could find Red Phoenix City.
"I suspect …"
Touching his nose, Lin Ye said in a low voice, "This could be a trap, or it could really be a coincidence!"
"But, whether this is a trap or not, I have to go and take a look!
The 3,000 Ways of Heaven are too important to me. "
Speaking of this, Lin Ye glanced at Ding Fengtian and said with a smile, "It's also very important to you!"
"That's right!"
Ding Fengtian smiled bitterly. "Without the 3,000 Ways of Heaven, I can only wait silently for my life to pass away."
"So, no matter what lies ahead, we have to go up!"
Lin Ye said in a low voice, "Senior Ding, let's crack this Array!"
"It's best if those people are alerted. If they come back, it means that it's a coincidence."
"If they don't do anything, then it's very likely that this is a trap!"
Shen Qingyun blinked and said, "Junior Brother Lin, if it's a trap, we'd better leave.
During this period, there will be many experts in the Desolate God Realm. Without Senior Sister, we'd better be careful. "
"You're right, but you've overlooked one possibility …"
However, Ding Fengtian said, "These formations were all left behind by powerful cultivators in the past. Those people just changed the formations or activated them. Even if I break the formations, they won't sense anything."
"You want to judge based on their reaction? It won't work."
"…"
Hearing this, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel depressed. It seemed that they had to kill all the way.
If those people's target was really the 3,000 Ways of Heaven, they could just fight with their weapons!
"Break the Arrays and quickly catch up with them!"
Lin Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Apart from those people, no one else should know about the Cold Abyss Canyon!"
"Well, I'll listen to you."
Nodding slightly, Ding Fengtian took a deep breath. In an instant, purple flames surged and suddenly burned the surrounding trees.
The flames burned fiercely, but a special power rippled out. Although it was not strong, it made people's hearts palpitate.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The Arrays hidden in them exploded one after another, turning into endless Spiritual Power and dissipating in the air.
Those matrices had only been left behind by some Heavenly Saints. Although Ding Fengtian's strength had declined to the early stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, he had left behind many backups. Coupled with the fact that he had comprehended the Laws of Fire, those matrices could not withstand him at all.
The Law of Fire was difficult for ordinary Heaven Saints to comprehend. Its power was shocking!
In just a dozen breaths' time, the Arrays around them collapsed one after another. The strong airflow was blocked by Lin Ye's Light Shield.
"Phew, if the Arrays are all changed, I may not have much strength when we reach the Cold Abyss Canyon!"
Ding Fengtian's face was solemn. He stared at Lin Ye and said, "Retreat first or kill your way in. It's your choice."
