Early morning.
Due to the withdrawal of cultivators, Huangyuan City has become much quieter.
The entrance to the city was empty, there were only officers and soldiers standing in twos and threes.
Their faces were slightly white and they looked a little nervous.
“I heard that outsiders are going to form a formation to slaughter the city, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
“Nine times out of ten it’s true, otherwise, why would those practitioners be able to escape overnight?”
“Hmph, they came yesterday and left overnight, what righteous? They are all just cowards who are afraid of death!”
“That’s right, they’re not as good as Shengzi Su of the Netherworld Sect.”
“Shengzi Su is really a good person.”
Currently, Su Shi’s reputation among the officers and soldiers was extremely high.
Although it had only been less than two days.
But right after he arrived, he handed over his flying boat to the wounded, slaughtered the Thunderbird flock that attacked the city, and investigated the “truth” of the Spirit Beasts’ attack on the city.
Most importantly, even though he knew it was dangerous, he was still willing to stay in the city to protect the people.
This was in stark contrast to the disciples of the Righteous path who were so wise to protect themselves.
“And Chief Zhan and Imperial Censor Chen, they are the real righteous cultivators!”
“By the way, I should say there’s really no need to guard this city gate, I mean, who’s got the guts to come to Huangyuan City at this time?”
At that moment, a woman in black came from afar.
The soldiers froze for a moment and stepped forward to block the way.
“Who are you?”
The woman wore a black veil and her voice was clear and pleasant, “I’m Shengzi Su’s friend, and I’m here to see him.”
“What is the evidence-“
The officers still wanted to ask. But the light in the woman’s eyes flickered, and their eyes instantly turned dazed.
“So it is Shengz Su’s friend.”
The officers gave way, “Please enter.”
The woman walked into the city gate with quick steps.
Only when her figure disappeared did the officers’ eyes clear.
“What exactly happened?”
They scratched their heads, not remembering what had just happened, as if nothing had happened.
###
As if people knew something big was about to happen, the doors were closed and the streets were empty.
Su Shi and the others were walking on the streets.
His eyes flickered with light, and the True Dragon Qi Perceiving Technique was activated, filling his vision with black and red Qi.
Black Qi rushed into the sky and blood light filled the air.
The fierce and destructive power was even stronger than yesterday.
“It seems that this formation has been formed a long time ago.”
Su Shi’s eyes sank.
Huangyuan City was originally a pure land.
Although it was not rich, it could still be self-sufficient and its people lived and worked happily.
But now, under the influence of the Blood Slaughter Formation, it had forcibly gathered Heavenly Evil Black Qi and turned it into a place of great evil!
Those who died in the city would turn into blood spirits and could never be reincarnated!
This was a cruel and vicious place!
Wang Mao asked: “Is there any way to break this formation?”
Su Shi shook his head, “This is not an ordinary formation, but is based yin and evil, using blood energy as a guide, it cannot be caught or touched, it is impossible to break.”
Wang Mao’s face turned white, “So we can only wait for the other party to make a move without being able to do anything?”
Although aware of the other party’s conspiracy, but nothing can be done.
This feeling was even more desperate.
Su Shi said, “Although it is impossible to break, but as long as it is a formation, there will be a formation core, there must be a trace ……”
The True Dragon Qi Perceiving Technique was pushed to its limit. The black death aura gradually became clear.
A stream of black air was faintly visible, rising from the distant land.
This was the source of the deadly Qi.
Following the airflow, Su Shi arrived at a small mound of earth and took out a palm-sized silver nail.
It was pure silver in color and shone with a faint light.
Demon Slaying Spike.
He obtained it from Ye Xiao’s storage ring.
Su Shi pressed the silver nail into the ground, but there seemed to be great resistance underneath, so he couldn’t nail it for a while.
His palm shone with green light and his spiritual power surged out.
He pressed the silver nail hard!
Boom!
The ground trembled, and a boundless black aura rose upwards, as if it were thick smoke covering the sky!
People shuddered in unison.
Although they couldn’t see the fierce Qi, they could still feel the cold air rising from their bodies.
It was like being in a cold mass grave!
It was unknown how long it took, but the evil Qi gradually faded away, and the silver nail and a small mound of earth disappeared.
“With insufficient blood energy, and death energy leaking out, the power of the Blood Slaughter Formation will be greatly reduced, this is all I can do.”
Su Shi sighed, “But when the time comes, what the specific situation is, I dare not guarantee.”
Wang Mao bowed deeply and said sincerely, “Thank you, Shengzi Su, for your help. No matter what the outcome, Huangyuan City will always remember your great kindness!”
Su Shi shook his head, “I don’t need you to remember, I did it for my own sake.”
Zhan Qingchen and Chen Qingluan lowered their heads shyly at the same time.
Both of Cen Yiren’s cheeks were puffed up, and her eyes were sour.
At this moment, Su Shi thought of something, “Imperial censor Chen, when in the ancient emperor’s secret realm, you obtained a copy of the’Myriad Formations Solution’, did you take it with you?”
“I did.”
Chen Qingluan took out an ancient book and handed it to him, “But I have read it carefully last night, and there is no record of the Formation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands of Blood Slaughter.”
“In this world there are thousands of paths, and the same goal can be achieved by different paths.”
Su Shi said, “As long as you truly understand this ancient book, other formations will naturally be solved.”
Chen Qingluan smiled bitterly, “Easy to say, this ancient book is so profound, how can it be so easy to understand?”
Su Shi smiled and said nothing.
Beep sounded in his ears:
[Acquired formation technique: “Myriad Formations Solution”, can consume 40 plot points to learn it automatically.]
Forty plot points, equal to the True Dragon Qi Perceiving Technique.
The Ancient Emperor’s Inheritance was not biased, and the two rewards were exactly the same value.
“Forty points isn’t bad.”
“Think of it as an additional insurance policy.”
[Would you like to learn the formation technique: “Myriad Formations Solution”?
“Confirm.”
Plot points were deducted.
The ancient book lit up and the words jumped into his consciousness, and the outlines of countless formations swirled in his mind.
Of course, this scene could only be seen by him.
Su Shi had a feeling of enlightenment, almost instantly he understood countless formations, and even had a different understanding of the entire world.
His eyes scanned his surroundings, and he quickly deconstructed in his mind.
“Sure enough, the demon embrio was buried in the city a long time ago.”
“I’m afraid the Tiger tribe has been preparing this scheme for no less than ten years!”
“What a cruel plan!”
Su Shi’s eyes were cold.
At this moment, a black figure came into view.
At the same time, the other party also saw it.
The two looked at each other.
Su Shi froze, “Yu-“
“Brother Su Shi!”
The young girl in black ran into his arms and hugged him like a koala.
The young girl raised her watery eyes, “Brother Su Shi, I missed you so much!”
The atmosphere became deathly quiet.
“Brother…. Su Shi?”
Zhan Qingchen’s low voice rang out.
Chen Qingluan didn’t say a word, her gaze colder than sword qi.
Cen Yiren carried the sword in her hand, carefully sizing up the young girl, seemingly thinking about where it would be more appropriate to cut.
Feeling the murderous aura, Wang Mao swallowed and said with difficulty, “Cough cough, I’m a little hungry, I’ll go to the tavern first, you guys please have a chat….”
After he finished speaking, he ran away.
Seeing Yu Ren’er clinging in his arms, Su Shi frowned.
“Why are you here?!”
