Just when the two cultivators were becoming suspicious, that figure had already reappeared in a different black hall.
There was not much space in this hall and it was only two or three hundred feet in size. There was a large white jade pillar in the middle of the room and countless runes were engraved on the stone pillar. Soft yellow light emanated from the top of the pillar and formed an inverted bowl shaped yellow curtain of light that covered the area within. It could also be seen that there were more than ten stone cabinets covered in a red light and made it seem rather mysterious.
The figure stood on the spot and did not step forward, he looked carefully at the yellow light before his eyes flashed with a blue light.
After a moment, he waved his hand and dozens of black array flags flew out and fell around the yellow light shield. Then, doing another gesture with his hands, black lights flew out from the surrounding array flags and formed a larger hemispherical light shield which covered the yellow light below it.
The yellow light shield originally occupied nearly half of the space in the hall, but the black light shield almost filled up the whole hall.
The figure wordlessly opened his mouth and a stream of blue gas came out and landed on the yellow light as it tried to drill a hole through it. However, when a palm sized hole appeared after being corroded by the blue gas, the surface immediately lit up and countless yellow rays appeared and wrapped around the blue gas.
At the same time, the runes on the white jade pillar in the center of the room turned bright and as the light on the surface of the yellow shield lit up, countless dazzling thin yellow lights emerged, entangling the blue gas and then tightened its hold.
The blue gas was cut into numerous pieces and scattered around before the yellow light quickly subsided. The hole that appeared before quickly closed up and everything returned to normal.
When the figure saw this, he was indifferent and did not seem surprised. He stared at the white jade and stone pillars for a long time and with a turn of his hand, took out a dozen array flags of different colors.
With a wave of his hand, all the array flags were suspended in mid-air and formed a strange oval array that seemed disorderly but mysterious.
The figure quickly made hand seals with both hands and the black light surrounding his hands flickered.
Dozens of array flags also gave out lights of different colors and like javelins hit the yellow light shield one after another. It drilled inside like nails and surrounded an area of about ten feet in size.
The surface of the yellow light shield flashed wildly as it caused the speed of the array flags to slow down. At the same time, a strong wave of magic spread out, but when these waves touched the surrounding black light, they disappeared without a trace and did not seem to have spread outside.
With the incantation coming out of the figure’s mouth, more than ten array flags lit up and their speed increased before finally embedding themselves on the floor past the shield of light.
The next moment, the yellow light in the area that was surrounded by the array flags rapidly faded.
The figure then blew out another mouthful of blue gas which fell in that area.
The dim light shield was unable to withstand it any longer and was corroded by the blue gas in an instant.
However, the runes on the white jade pillar in the middle continued flashing and more yellow rays of light appeared in the other areas where the yellow light shield covered. It surged towards the area where the array flags surrounded it, but they were stopped by the strong force from the flags.
The intense wave of magic spread out across the room and was stopped by the surrounding black light. However, the wave of magic was too intense this time and the black light shield started to buzz and shake as it became even more violent and looked like it was unable to withstand it.
Fortunately, after two or three breaths, a big hole several feet in size appeared after being corroded by the blue gas. The figure quickly shot through the hole and landed near the white jade stone pillar. He blew out a thick black gas from his mouth, which wrapped around the pillar. At the same time, he did hand seals and black spells flew out all hitting the stone pillar.
The black gas quickly spread to the stone pillar and dyed the runes on it black.
The light on the stone pillar dimmed and the light on the yellow light shield faded slowly and everything returned to normal.
The figure waved out a spell and a dozen array flags flew out from the light shield and back to his hands and he put them away.
His actions did not stop there as he once again took out a stack of yellow array flags, which turned into more than ten rays of light and hit onto the yellow light shield.
These array flags fell into the light without any resistance and disappeared.
The yellow light shield fluctuated slightly and then it returned to normal. The big hole that had opened up because of the blue gas also quickly recovered.
The figure then turned his head to look at the ten stone cabinets around the stone pillars.
There was a layer of red light over each of the stone cabinets.
The figure went to a stone cabinet and without any hesitation, blew out blue gas which landed on the surface of the light. The area immediately fluctuated violently and the red light turned dim, and was about to be broken through.
At this moment, white crystal lights suddenly emerged from the surface of the red light. The red and white light reflected each other and immediately resisted the corrosion of the blue gas.
At the same time, a shrill bell sounded from deep within the hall.
The air around the figure vibrated and he looked surprised. But in the next moment, he chanted in a low voice and the gestures his hands made kept changing.
The blue gas immediately rolled and morphed into various shapes as they all ruthlessly battered the red and white restriction seals. But no matter how the blue gas changed, it was unable to break through.
The figure waved his hands suddenly and called back the blue gas. He then pointed at the area between his eyebrows with two fingers and a black mark split open as an eye that was as black as ink appeared.
The eye turned slightly and black runes could be seen inside.
Zip!
A black light that was as thick as a finger shot through the air and hit the seal outside the stone cabinet.
The red and white restriction seals were like a piece of paper in front of the black light. The black light immediately penetrated through and with a bang it broke.
There was a flash in the area between the figure’s eyebrows and strong divine sense emanated from it. It split into dozens of parts, each of which immersed itself into a piece of jade slip and quickly explored the contents inside.
With the ringing of the bell just now, the restriction seals outside of Sutra Pavilion started to flash wildly and continuously sent out warnings.
“Someone broke into the Sutra Pavilion!”
“Who is so audacious? He must be seeking death!”
“Could it be the thief who sneaked into Celestial Palace Hall?”
Along with the angry shouts, figures from all directions converged towards Sutra Pavilion.
With the lesson learnt from Celestial Palace Hall, these patrolmen did not hesitate at all. While they sent people to inform the higher-ups, some of the most powerful leaders immediately broke into the Sutra Pavilion.
In the dark night, all the places in the Cold Fire Sect were lit up brightly as many disciples ran about chaotically. In fact, the first people to react were the two Spatial Tempering stage cultivators at the entrance of the inner pavilion.
As soon as the alarm sounded, the two of them jumped up immediately as their faces showed a mixture of surprise and anger.
Someone actually managed to sneak into the inner pavilion under their eyes!
“Is it really a Great Ascension cultivator?”
This thought flashed through their minds, but they could not care about anything else at the moment. They immediately took out a jade talisman. One was shaped like a curved moon and the other with an oblate shape.
The two pieces of jade fitted together to form a complete circle and the two men pressed it against somewhere on the door.
The wave-like restriction seal shone and disappeared with a flash. The stone door opened and they rushed inside without saying anything.
They were stunned when they saw the black light shield inside.
The fat monk thought and gritted his teeth as he took out a round mirror magical weapon.
Doing gestures with his hand, the gray light on the round mirror flashed and shot out a thick beam of light which hit the black light shield and made a deafening and violent bursting sound upon impact.
The light shield immediately rolled violently and rose and fell like waves of water, but it was not immediately defeated.
Almost at the same time, four blue flying swords flew out from the tall and thin man before turning into four blue lotus flowers.
Countless blue sword energy shot out from the four blue lotus flowers and landed on the black light shield.
Pft, pft!
The black light shield could not withstand anymore and was torn open as it revealed the situation inside.
“How dare you, you thief!”
The two cultivators felt relieved when they saw the faint silvery figure inside, but at the same time, they felt ashamed and angry.
The aura coming out of the figure was just of the Nascent Soul stage!
However, this person did not pay any attention to the two Spatial Tempering stage cultivators outside. He had just finished looking at the jade slips in the first stone cabinet and his figure swayed before moving to the next stone cabinet.
The black light that shot out from the center of his eyebrows smashed the seal surrounding the stone cabinet and he then released his divine sense and calmly checked through the jade slips.
