Chapter 224 The formation opens
Under the night sky, countless stars twinkled.
A gray line rose from the ancient city and quickly shot into the sky.
Very fast.
As the altitude increased, the speed gradually decreased.
Finally, it slowly came to a stop in mid-air.
The gray silk threads quietly unfurled.
Peng!
There was an explosion!
A spectacular fireworks display erupted! It burst forth with the most beautiful colors against the vast backdrop of the night sky!
Peng!Peng!Peng!
The surrounding gray lines also reached their highest points one after another.
A beautiful firework display!
The lotus leaves stretch to the sky, an endless expanse of green!
Such a grand scene was witnessed by every mortal and cultivator deep within the ancient city.
Then, more and more gray lines extended outwards.
It blooms under the night sky.
The entire ancient city was as bright as day.
"Daddy! Is that a lotus flower? It has a lotus flower pattern!"
A family of three stood in a corner of the west side of the city.
This place seems remote and not in a very good location.
Not many people came to steal it.
But when the fireworks went off, the view was quite good.
You can see numerous fireworks under the night sky.
You don't have to squeeze in with other people.
The young man and woman both had smiles on their faces.
The man held his daughter's hand and had his arm around his wife's waist.
"Yao Yao, those aren't lotus flowers, they're peach blossoms."
"Ah, so it's a peach blossom."
"Who cares what it is, it looks good anyway, haha."
"Hehe, my wife is right, who cares what he says?"
The young man smiled.
Looking at his wife and daughter beside him, his heart was filled with happiness.
He made a living by drawing talismans.
After working hard for half a year, I finally got a day off today because of the temple fair.
It was not easy.
You can see the smiles on the faces of the daughter and wife, and their happy expressions.
It felt as if all the fatigue and soreness in my body had disappeared.
Full of energy.
Very happy.
So this is what happiness feels like.
"My wife...you..."
He was about to speak when he suddenly saw a red glow emanating from behind the woman.
The light gradually bloomed, growing brighter and brighter.
The young man was taken aback at first, then his hair stood on end.
"No! Something's wrong!"
That thing! It's the core of the formation!
The array's core was drawn with thousands of talismans!
These talismans are all to ensure that the array's core can be activated!
Enhance the grand formation!
There is a formation here! And it's definitely not a low-level formation!
This isn't right! Something's very wrong!
The man didn't say a word.
He grabbed his wife and daughter and ran.
This place is very close to the city gate.
It only takes a dozen or so steps to run out.
"Father, what, what is this? I haven't seen enough yet."
"Husband?"
Both the daughter and the wife were very strange.
The young woman opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly saw the extremely unpleasant expression on her husband's face.
She had never seen her husband make such an expression before!
there has never been!
How could it look so ugly!
What exactly did he discover?
"No, it's alright. Let's go out of the city first. We can see the fireworks from outside the city too, hehe. The scenery outside the city is even better, and the view is much wider, okay?"
Although he said that, he was moving incredibly fast.
It even activated the Swiftness Talisman.
Speed up the pace of the group.
They fled quickly.
He sensed something was wrong in the city, and there was only one thing on his mind.
That means taking your wife and daughter and running away as quickly as possible.
As for the others, he couldn't control them, nor did he have the inclination to.
This is not something he should be thinking about.
The man moved quickly, pulling the two women beside him along.
They were getting closer and closer to the city gate.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
There was clearly nothing at the city gate.
But it just wouldn't pass.
It was as if there was an invisible wall of air.
"This! How is this possible!"
The man swung his fist and smashed it down.
But it was completely useless.
It was all in vain.
His wife and daughters stood by, looking on in bewilderment at the scene.
Even if they were slow to react, they realized at that moment that something was wrong.
This is clearly a problem.
Something's definitely not right, something's very wrong.
This was the first time they had ever seen a man show such a tense and anxious expression.
The daughter may not have noticed.
But the wife clearly sensed the fear in her husband's eyes.
What could have terrified him so much?
What happened?
Why is this so?
At this moment, the young man took out several talismans from his pocket.
He felt a pang of regret.
Fireworks in the night sky burst forth with beautiful colors.
The fireworks were beautiful.
But the family of three had absolutely no interest in watching anymore.
The wife and daughter stood beside the young man.
The young man channeled all his spiritual power into the talisman.
hum!
The energy begins to work.
These talismans could sell for at least a hundred spirit stones.
It can be said to be the culmination of more than half a year's worth of savings.
But the current situation is strange and extremely dangerous.
With his wife and children here, he had no choice but to use all his savings to make a desperate gamble.
The young man gritted his teeth.
He poured all his energy into the talisman.
laugh!
The talisman began to burn rapidly.
A large amount of spiritual energy roared out, and the last few talismans began to work simultaneously.
It coalesced into a small, agile short sword.
"go with!"
The young man held two fingers together as a sword.
Large beads of sweat were on his forehead.
He looked as if he had been pulled out of the water.
Breaking into a cold sweat.
My heart was filled with fear and confusion.
Even now, he still doesn't know what's going on, let alone what happened.
All he can do is try his best.
Activate the talismans to attack the formation.
Try your best to tear an opening in this protective array.
Then he escaped with his wife and children!
boom!
The small sword whistled away, carrying violent energy, and crashed into the invisible wall of air.
However, once this sharp sword intent entered the barrier, it seemed to sink into the sea like a stone.
There was no further response.
"How can it be!"
The young man was terrified.
He used up all the talismans he had accumulated over the past six months at once.
Now, surprisingly, it has absolutely no effect.
Let alone being unable to shake this formation.
Even if it's just a small tear, a tiny opening.
That works too.
But there was no reaction at all; the formation remained as still as a mountain, stable and without any fluctuation.
His all-out attack was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
like water off a duck's back.
"Impossible! How could this be! How could this be!"
The man's face was extremely pale.
His breathing grew increasingly weak.
At that moment, the fireworks in the sky became even more beautiful.
Under the cover of night, one beautiful picture after another unfolds.
"Husband, what happened? Did you sense some danger?" the woman asked softly.
A girl who isn't very tall stands beside her parents.
She didn't know what was happening either.
But she felt that as long as she was by her father and mother's side, she would be happy.
All bad things will disappear.
Some of the bad things were resolved.
The young man felt the gazes of his wife and daughter.
Just about to speak.
Suddenly he was stunned.
The red light in the corner of the ancient city finally began to work.
The thing he had been worried about had happened.
There are not only barrier formations here.
Moreover, there was a strange array that I couldn't understand.
Even for a talisman master like him who has been drawing talismans for decades.
They couldn't see the mystery of the array's core.
It's easy to imagine how terrifying this formation is.
Such a top-tier formation.
There are probably hundreds or even thousands of key points in the formation.
To break the formation, all the key points of the formation must be removed.
Or perhaps, the person who broke the formation was ten or a hundred times more powerful than the person who created it.
He directly overwhelmed everything with his physical strength, suppressing all opposition.
Only in this way can the great formation be broken directly without removing the core of the formation.
But how difficult that is!
"The person who can set up such a top-tier array must have reached a terrifying level of cultivation, at least... at least at the Nascent Soul stage! Perhaps... even at the Deity Transformation stage!"
The Nascent Soul stage cultivators are unaware of the top-tier Blood Fiend Array.
What is intended?
Suddenly, the young man remembered what had happened in southern Xinjiang not long ago.
His good friend was in the southern border region, where he also made a living by drawing talismans.
The two had a jade pendant for communication.
His brother sent him messages several times, telling him to be careful.
In southern Xinjiang, there are far too many cases of massacring cities to refine elixirs.
If he hadn't found a major sect to join, he probably would have stopped practicing long ago.
"But those guys who slaughtered the city to refine pills were all from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Didn't the elders of the Sword Sect already deal with these Demon Sect protectors? How come there are still... guys like this..."
"Besides...besides, this city is right near the Sword Sect!"
"How dare these guys! How could they do such a thing!"
The young man felt the terror of that formation's core.
They sensed the massive air wall in front of the city gate behind them.
A series of bitter laughs followed.
"Unexpectedly, nothing happened in the Southern Frontier, but something happened near the Sword Sect. These demonic cultivators are all incredibly crazy and audacious."
My old friend is alright.
You're lucky to be alive.
But I might be in trouble.
"Such a formation was probably set up by a demonic cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. The Sword Sect is not far from here, but there is another layer of protective barrier formation outside the blood sacrifice formation."
The man grew increasingly desperate.
To put it bluntly, although this place is very close to the Sword Sect.
Moreover, the commotion caused by activating the blood sacrifice array is also very large.
However, the outermost barrier formation has the effect of concealing one's presence.
It's like two protective shields.
It wrapped itself up layer by layer.
Under the influence of the formation, people outside the city may not be able to see the scene inside the city at all.
They knew nothing about the situation inside the city.
At this moment, the spiritual pressure emanating from the array's core grew stronger and stronger.
More and more people standing on the periphery sensed that something was wrong.
Everyone noticed the situation at the center of the formation.
The weaker cultivators felt completely bewildered.
Those who are powerful and knowledgeable.
Only when I found out what was going on did I feel terrified.
"What! What's going on?! Where's the array's core? What kind of array has been set up?"
"Could this formation be related to the celebration? I haven't heard of it."
"No! It shouldn't be! I sensed an evil aura within the formation, the aura of a demon."
"The aura of demons?! What is targeting our ancient city of Gangu!"
Everyone was shocked.
Those in the inner circle were still unaware of what was happening, all looking up at the fireworks.
Those on the outer ring have already begun searching for ways to save themselves.
They began attempting to break through the defensive barrier array.
But how is this possible?
If anyone can run away, then who would we be sacrificing blood for?
