With the addition of everyone, the speed of breaking the formation increased a lot. Moreover, Mo Wushuang had also joined in. With the Mo Clan's ten thousand years of inheritance, they easily broke the formation completely. Even though he knew that there was something wrong with the formation, Mo Wushuang didn't think that anyone would believe his words given the general trend.
The most important thing was that these people were completely confused by the treasures in front of them. It could be said that at this time, no matter what he said, no one would believe him. Most importantly, Mo Wushuang knew that if he told these people that there might be danger here, it would definitely arouse their suspicion. This would put him in a difficult position, and his prestige would be gone. Therefore, for the current him, going with the flow was the best choice. As for what would happen next, he could only take one step at a time.
After thinking about this, Mo Wushuang knew that he had to pay attention to his words and actions. Otherwise, it might backfire and arouse the suspicion of these people.
"Okay, now that the formation has been opened, you can go in."
Mo Wushuang sent out an attack, and seeing that the formation didn't react, he glanced at everyone and said in a leisurely tone.
As a result, these people looked at each other, and no one took the first step.
Obviously, at this moment, they also realized that the problem was unusual. Even Luo Xiu couldn't help but be a little inexplicably vigilant at this moment because even though he didn't know why this situation happened, Luo Xiu knew that the situation in the Demon Subduing Tower should be much more complicated than he imagined.
"What?
Where's the righteousness from before? Weren't you all fighting to continue exploring?
Why doesn't anyone dare to go in?
Since we're already here, do you still want to retreat?
Brother Li, why don't you set an example? "Mo Wushuang's face was gloomy as he asked coldly.
Li Mingyu was also a little embarrassed at this moment. Hearing this, his expression slightly tensed up, but he didn't immediately express his opinion. He pretended not to hear Mo Wushuang's words. Although he was the one who shouted the loudest before, everyone was looking at Li Mingyu as if they were looking at an idiot at this moment.
Just as this somewhat awkward atmosphere was about to intensify, Su Ning sneered. She actually ignored Mo Wushuang's obstruction and took the lead to step into it.
Although Mo Wushuang's expression didn't look too good, he only coldly glanced at the group of Li Family members. However, he didn't care about anything else and immediately chased after them. Everyone, including Luo Xiu, looked at Li Mingyu and the three Li Family disciples.
Li Mingyu felt extremely helpless under everyone's gazes. His expression changed, but in the end, he shook his head helplessly. Then he clenched his teeth and glanced at the surrounding Li Family members. He said in a ruthless voice, "Wealth comes from danger. Let's go." After he finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped through the door of light.
When Luo Xiu saw this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. After that, when a few more people entered, he didn't stay any longer. He followed closely behind and stepped into the door. His figure then disappeared.
As soon as he entered the door of light, Luo Xiu felt the sky and earth spinning, and his heart tightened slightly. Fortunately, other than that, there were no other abnormalities on his body, and as the dizziness passed, when he stood up again, he discovered that he had already arrived at a huge plaza paved with countless bluestones.
However, when he raised his head to look at the sky, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel a little astonished. This was because there was no light at all above the square. Black clouds accumulated, cold wind whistled, and the sky was very dark. Moreover, there was a rotten and gloomy aura everywhere.
Luo Xiu saw that the few people who came in before were standing in the same place at this moment, their expressions full of vigilance. Moreover, he also noticed that at this moment, they were all frowning and staring dumbfoundedly behind him. Luo Xiu's heart inexplicably skipped a beat. His expression couldn't help but change slightly, and the feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.
"System, it seems that my previous speculation was not wrong. It's just that the Demonic Beasts and Golden Sand Flowing Light Worms on the first two floors of the Demon Subduing Pagoda are not imprisoned here. Instead, they are more like guards … Tsk, it's really a little inconceivable!"
He hurriedly looked back and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He somewhat helplessly asked the system in his mind.
Behind him stood a huge stone door that was a hundred feet tall. On both sides of the door, there was a huge carving of gargoyles. These two gargoyles were holding huge axes and were glaring at each other. The stone door was engraved with all kinds of strange restrictions and runes.
"Host, you have to be careful. Something is very wrong here. It's best if you act together with these people at this time!" The system's words were full of seriousness.
"What exactly is this stone door? Why are there such complicated restrictions and runes on the door?" Su Ning's face was full of confusion and he asked in disbelief.
"This should be a reverse teleportation door. Just look at the stone door. There are thirty-six types of runes, and seventy-two runes engraved. It seems to coincide with the number of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. This is used to increase the sealing and suppression power. It is clear that there is an extraordinary existence suppressed on this floor." Mo Wushuang pointed at the runes in front of him and said with a serious expression.
"Yes!
When we entered, the restrictions weren't so strict. Why are the restrictions on the exit so complicated? Could it be that they want to trap us here until we die? "Wang Wenjian heard this and couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment.
"Wang Family Head, you're thinking too much. Who says that the restriction on the stone door is definitely used to stop us? Perhaps it's not us, but the other things that are suppressed here!" Luo Xiu looked into the distance at this moment and said in a leisurely tone.
Wang Wenjian followed Luo Xiu's gaze and looked towards the distance, and he saw an expanse of black colored buildings standing extremely far away from the square. The surroundings were coiled with black mist, causing one to be unable to see clearly, yet it strangely emitted a type of oppressive feeling, and it was even to the extent that one's soul was indescribably affected and in a feeling of being suppressed.
"Hehe, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse for us to come here by accident!" Mo Wushuang's expression was serious. His gaze swept across the square and he said in a self-deprecating manner.
"Let's not talk about whether it's a blessing or a curse. Just being in this damned place gives me a bad feeling. It seems that the higher the level of the Demon Subduing Pagoda, the stronger the restriction on Soul Strength. It makes people uncomfortable." Wang Wenjian withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but frown.
"Ai!
Don't you think it's a bit late to say this now?
Since we've already come here, we can only move forward. There's no turning back. Since we're already here, let's explore the secrets of this pagoda together. It's not a waste to come to this Mystery Realm. "Su Ning said calmly at this moment.
After saying that, she took the lead and walked forward. Mo Wushuang's eyes darkened slightly and he hurriedly followed.
Wang Wenjian and the others looked at the huge stone door behind them with complicated expressions. They seemed to be hesitating.
There was no other way. They didn't know what was in front of them. Now that the situation was unknown, staying here might be the safest. However, seeing Su Ning and the others moving forward, they hesitated for a moment.
"Patriarch Wang, let's move together. The strength of the restriction on this stone door isn't inferior to the Sect Guarding Grand Formation of a large sect. It's absolutely not easy to break through it, so let's go over and find another way out." Luo Xiu reminded when he passed by Wang Wenjian.
While speaking, he also walked toward the black building.
Seeing this, Wang Wenjian and the others' faces changed again and again. After hesitating for a while, they had to follow.
As they moved forward, the closer they got to the black building, the stronger the Evil Spirit around them. When they were about to reach the building, they even felt that the temperature in the surrounding air had become cold. Several Individual Cultivators had wisps of white mist coming out of their nostrils and mouths. As they breathed out, their whole body became dispirited.
It wasn't until they arrived in front of the black building that they discovered that it was actually a deserted hall. The entire hall's mountain gate was very dilapidated. Not only were there weeds growing in the cracks of the brick walls, even the two wooden doors were covered in moss. The two beast door knockers were also covered in rust and hung crookedly on the door.
Luo Xiu stood outside the hall door. His eyes fell on the plaque hanging at the top of the hall, and he whispered, "Avici Hell!"
Looking at the name on the plaque, everyone's face became strange.
"Avici Hell!
How can this be Avici Hell?
Didn't we enter the Demon Suppressing Pagoda? "Wang Wenjian's eyes were filled with disbelief as he asked in surprise.
"There's no need to make a fuss. Maybe it's the name of this ancient hall. It's called 'Avici Hell'." Li Mingyu said disapprovingly.
"This place is filled with ghostly aura. I'm afraid it's not a good place. I think it's better if we don't go in." A rogue cultivator said in a trembling voice with a fearful expression.
However, as soon as his voice fell, a creaking sound rang out, and the two ancient doors of the main hall actually opened by themselves.
Seeing this, everyone waited for a moment. Seeing that there was no movement from inside the door, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
Mo Wushuang and Su Ning looked at each other and nodded. The two of them took the lead and walked in. Luo Xiu was also curious about the sudden opening of the door and couldn't help but follow them in.
Seeing this scene, Wang Wenjian and the others all had a lot on their minds. However, in a situation where there was no way out, they could only bite the bullet and follow in.
When everyone stepped into the hall, another long and unpleasant creak came from behind them. The door closed by itself.
Luo Xiu turned his head to look and saw two balls of dark green will-o '-the-wisps floating out from behind the door. They circled around everyone and floated forward leisurely. They were like two lanterns that led the way as they floated in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked by the strange scene in front of them. After hesitating for a long time, they followed the two balls of ghostly fire and slowly walked deeper into the hall.
With the help of the faint light emitted by the two balls of ghostly fire, Luo Xiu saw that this place was a white plaza that wasn't too small. However, when Luo Xiu walked up, he felt that the ground under his feet was uneven, and from time to time, there would be a slight creaking sound.
He lowered his head and discovered that the ground of this white plaza was not paved with white jade, but with pieces of broken white bones. Not only was the ground uneven, but there were also specks of ghostly green ghostly fire floating out from time to time.
Everyone walked carefully. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual along the way. Everyone soon arrived in front of the main hall.
In this hall called the Heavenly King Hall, there were two stone statues that were dozens of feet tall, almost as tall as the entire hall.
The two statues were clad in broken golden armor. They held a demon-subduing pestle in one hand and a human head dripping with blood in the other. Just as everyone had imagined, the two statues had ferocious faces. They were the images of evil spirits.
After passing through the Heavenly King Hall, everyone came to an even larger green jade plaza.
There were nine high platforms built on both sides of this plaza. At this moment, there were many figures on them, and there were constantly mournful screams.
Luo Xiu felt an inexplicable chill on his back. He frowned and looked up at the first high platform on the left. He saw an evil spirit with purple skin on it. At this moment, it was holding a black iron pincer in its hand. It was reaching into the mouth of a gray-haired old woman, clamping her tongue and slowly pulling it out.
The old woman's face was full of pain, but she couldn't make much noise. She could only whimper.
On the first high platform on the other side, there was a beautiful woman who was tied to a stone bed with her clothes barely covering her body. Two green-haired evil spirits were holding a pair of huge scissors and cutting at her body. The woman's mournful cries were frightening.
Luo Xiu looked back and saw that there were tragedies on each of the stone platforms.
In one of them, there was a huge stone mill being pushed by a Great Strength Ghost King. Inside, there were broken limbs and broken bones. That person's head was still intact, and he was still howling in pain.
In another place, there was a huge iron pot with flames curling around it. There was boiling oil in the pot, and several evil spirits were carrying a terrified person and throwing him into the pot. The explosion caused black smoke to rise everywhere, and the smell of burnt meat was incomparably strong.
Seeing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He frowned and finally understood why this place was called "Avici Hell".
In the secular world, there were rumors that the underworld had eighteen layers of Avici Hell. Luo Xiu had heard a lot since he was young. Therefore, looking at the scene in front of him, he didn't think it was strange. He just had more doubts.
"What the hell is this place?" Luo Xiu looked dignified at this moment and couldn't help but ask.
However, as soon as his voice fell, a red light lit up in the sky in front of the square. Ten figures slowly floated down from the sky. Luo Xiu focused his eyes and saw ten ghosts wearing blood-red official robes and blood-red jade belts descending.
These ghosts either had a bull's head and sharp horns, a horse's face and long beards, or monkey's cheeks … They were all strange and sinister. None of them had a human shape. Only one of them had a white face and no beard. There was a red flower hanging in front of his chest. He looked like a scholar who had just been promoted to Jinshi.
"What kind of evildoers are you? How dare you pretend to be mysterious and mystifying here?" Li Mingyu's eyes were cold as he shouted angrily.
